Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a prevalent global renal illness and one of the main causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). FGF21 has been shown to ameliorate diabetic nephropathy, and in addition FGF-21-treated mice impeded mitogenicity, whereas it is unclear whether FGF21 can influence DN progression by regulating the cell cycle in diabetic nephropathy.
Methods: In order to create a diabetic model, STZ injections were given to C57BL/6J mice for this investigation.
Introduction: In patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock (AMICS), the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) remains the most commonly used form of mechanical circulatory support (MCS). However, information on the characteristics of non-responders is limited. This study evaluated the risk factors associated with 30-day mortality in a cohort of patients with AMICS, on IABP support.

The objective was to provide clinical insights for accurate identification.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 235 patients admitted to the Department of Nephrology at Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was conducted between July 2014 and December 2022.

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is the third most common endocrine disease, affecting predominantly postmenopausal women. About 85% of cases are caused by a solitary parathyroid adenoma which leads to a hypersecretion of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) and consequently to elevated serum calcium concentrations. Parathyroidectomy is the only curative treatment.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The optimal timing for initiating dialysis and prognostic markers in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are under debate, with mortality and cardiovascular risks varying among patients. This study investigates whether the apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage (AIM), which is mostly bound to pentameric IgM, could serve as an effective indicator.
Methods: We prospectively followed 423 patients at dialysis initiation and 563 at various CKD stages.
