Background: Ischemia-reperfusion acute kidney injury (I/R AKI) is a severe kidney disease with high mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to explore the protective mechanism of glutamine (GLN) against I/R AKI.
Methods: The I/R AKI rat model was established, and HE staining of kidney tissue and serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) detection were performed. The miRNAs were sequenced by high throughput in rat kidney tissue samples. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs) between the I/R group and I/R + GLN group were screened, and enrichment analysis for target genes of DEmiRs was performed. Meanwhile, human HK-2 cells were cultured, and an I/R model was established to verify the expression of DEmiRs.
Results: Compared with the I/R group, the SCr and BUN levels at each time point were lower in the I/R + GLN group. Vacuolar degeneration of renal tubules in the I/R + GLN group was significantly reduced. In the 104 DEmiRs, we selected miR-132-5p, miR-205, and miR-615 as key miRNAs. KEGG analysis showed that the Notch signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and cGMP signaling pathway were mainly related to the GLN against I/R. qRT-PCR verified the downregulation of miR-205 in the I/R group, compared to the sham and I/R + GLN group. The I/R model was established with HK-2 cells, and the expression of miR-132-5p and miR-205 was decreased.
Conclusion: GLN reduced I/R-induced AKI. There were significant differences between miRNAs expression in I/R after GLN treatment. The process of GLN against I/R-induced AKI may be related to the Notch and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in Japan to compare in-hospital mortality rates between open aneurysm repair (OAR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) from 2018 to 2021.
- The research involved analyzing administrative data from 482 acute care hospitals, resulting in 2650 patients in the OAR group and 2656 in the EVAR group.
- The findings showed that in-hospital mortality was significantly lower for the EVAR group (9.4%) compared to the OAR group (11.7%), indicating that EVAR is associated with better outcomes and shorter hospital stays for rAAA patients.

Introduction: The results of patients at one hospital who were judged eligible for conservative care of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are examined in this research. Optimizing patient care and management tactics requires an understanding of the mortality trends and causes of death within this group.
Methodology: Sunderland Royal Hospital carried out a single-center retrospective analysis between May 2018 and January 2024.

Background: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) is a fatal disease. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with RAAA undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with RAAA who underwent EVAR from 2012 to 2022.

We report a study of internal covalent cross-linking with photolytically generated diarylnitrile imines of N-terminal arginine, lysine, and histidine residues in peptide conjugates. Conjugates in which a 4-(2-phenyltetrazol-5-yl)benzoyl group was attached to C-terminal lysine, that we call RAAA--K, KAAA--K, and HAAA--K, were ionized by electrospray and subjected to UV photodissociation (UVPD) at 213 nm. UVPD triggered loss of N and proceeded by covalent cross-linking to nitrile imine intermediates that involved the side chains of N-terminal arginine, lysine, and histidine, as well as the peptide amide groups.
