In 42 patients with malignant and benign diseases of the kidney, the urinary bladder and the prostate the sensitization of the lymphocytes was investigated in the cell electrophoresis mobility test. In these cases human encephalitogenic protein and tumour-associated antigens from malignomas of kidney, urinary bladder and prostate were used as antigen. When using human encephalitogenic protein 3 "falsely positive" and 2 "falsely negative" results were got, whereas, when using the corresponding tumour-associated antigens in the cell electrophoresis mobility test in every case the histologically ascertained tumour diagnosis could be confirmed.

Development of a CT radiomics prognostic model for post renal tumor resection overall survival based on transformer enhanced K-means clustering.
Med Phys
January 2025
Department of Oncology, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, Luzhou, China.
Background: Kidney tumors, common in the urinary system, have widely varying survival rates post-surgery. Current prognostic methods rely on invasive biopsies, highlighting the need for non-invasive, accurate prediction models to assist in clinical decision-making.
Purpose: This study aimed to construct a K-means clustering algorithm enhanced by Transformer-based feature transformation to predict the overall survival rate of patients after kidney tumor resection and provide an interpretability analysis of the model to assist in clinical decision-making.
Stem cells prevent long-term deterioration of renal function after renal artery revascularization in a renovascular hypertension model in rats.

Partial stenosis of the renal artery causes renovascular hypertension (RVH) and is accompanied by chronic renal ischemia, resulting in irreversible kidney damage. Revascularization constitutes the most efficient therapy for normalizing blood pressure (BP) and has significant benefits for renal function; however, the tissue damage caused by chronic hypoxia is not fully reversed. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have produced discrete results in minimizing RVH and renal tissue and functional improvements since the obstruction persists.

Renal fibrosis is widely recognized as the ultimate outcome of many chronic kidney diseases. The process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role in the progression of fibrosis following renal injury. UHRF1, as a critical epigenetic regulator, may play an essential role in the pathogenesis and progression of renal fibrosis and EMT.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) ultimately causes renal fibrosis and end-stage renal disease, thus seriously threatens human health. However, current medications for CKD and fibrosis are inefficient, which is often due to poor targeting capability to renal tubule. In this study, we discover that biomimetic high-density lipoprotein (bHDL) lipid nanoparticles possess excellent targeting ability to injured tubular epithelial cells by kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1) mediated internalization.

Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle Juul Jensens Boulevard 99 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark; Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark.
Objective: This exploratory study investigates if neurofilament light chain (NfL) is excreted in the urine and whether this depends on plasma NfL (pNfL) levels and kidney function in terms of eGFR and U-albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR).
Methods: Using a computer algorithm, we identified excess urine and plasma from routine testing of uACR and eGFR in patients 45-50 years old. Up to 17 paired urine-plasma samples in each of six categories of kidney function defined by uACR and eGFR were analysed for NfL, and the urinary NfL-creatinine ratio (uNCR) was calculated to correct for urine dilution.
