Background: Ferroptosis is a recently recognised new type of cell death which may be a potential target for cancer therapy. In the present study, we aimed to screen ferroptosis-related differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs as biomarkers to predict the outcome of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma.
Methods: RNAseq count data and corresponding clinical information were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas database. Lists of ferroptosis-related genes and long non-coding RNAs were obtained from the FerrDb and GENCODE databases, respectively. The candidate prognostic signatures were screened by Cox regression analyses and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analyses.
Results: Three ferroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (DUXAP8, LINC02609, and LUCAT1) were significantly correlated with the overall survival of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma independently. Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma patients with high-risk values displayed worse OS. Meanwhile, the expression of these three ferroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs and their risk scores were significantly correlated with clinicopathological features. Principal component analyses showed that patients with kidney renal clear cell carcinoma have differential risk values were well distinguished by the three ferroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs.
Conclusions: The present study suggests that the risk assessment model constructed by these three ferroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs could accurately predict the outcome of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma. We also provide a novel perspective for cancer prognosis screening.

Proliferative Glomerulonephritis with Monoclonal IgG Deposits (PGNMID) is a glomerular disease characterized by membranoproliferative and mesangioproliferative lesions, with granular capillary wall monoclonal IgG positivity and immunoglobulin light chain restriction. Most commonly a disease of older adults, we present the case of an 18-year-old patient who developed de novo PGNMID in a kidney allograft three years after kidney transplantation. There was minimal proteinuria and no serum paraproteinemia was detected, so the patient was managed conservatively.

In different clinical settings, sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors confer renal protection and may be promising drug candidates. We examined the association between preoperative dapagliflozin use and the incidence and prognosis of CSA-AKI.

Deuterium (H) MRI is an emerging tool for noninvasive imaging. We explore the integration of H MRI with deuterated multifunctional nanopolymers for deuterated particle imaging (DPI). To this end, amine-terminated G5-polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers were labeled with deuterated acetyl surface groups, leading to highly H-loaded bioparticles, making them ideal for imaging studies.

Objectives: To assess the feasibility of trial recruitment and confirm that retroperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy (RRPN) has the same oncological efficacy as transperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy (TRPN), with time advantages and less peri-operative morbidity, in a randomised controlled trial (RCT).
Patients And Methods: The study was designed as a single-centre, open-label, feasibility RCT. Patients with suspected localised renal cell carcinoma referred for robotic partial nephrectomy were randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either TRPN or RRPN.
The PKM2 activator TEPP-46 suppresses cellular senescence in hydrogen peroxide-induced proximal tubular cells and kidney fibrosis in CD-1 mice.

Aim/introduction: Senescence is a key driver of age-related kidney dysfunction, including diabetic kidney disease. Oxidative stress activates cellular senescence, induces abnormal glycolysis, and is associated with pyruvate kinase muscle isoform 2 (PKM2) dysfunction; however, the mechanisms linking PK activation to cellular senescence have not been elucidated. We hypothesized that PKM2 activation by TEPP-46 could suppress oxidative stress-induced renal tubular cell injury and cellular senescence.
