A procedure developed involved isoelectrofocusing in borate-polyol system and thin-layer electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel gradient containing sodium dodecylsulfate of the products of human blood serum albumin obtained after partial hydrolysis. The first dimension isoelectrofocusing in borate-polyol system allowed to separate peptides with close values of pI and to increase the procedure sensitivity. The procedure may be recommended for identification of proteins, for estimation of the protein degradation in hydrolysis as well as for studies of peptide maps of albumin under normal and pathological states.

The present study analyzes the effects of preoperative serum albumin, hematocrit, and creatinine on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing carpal tunnel decompression surgery. The American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was queried from 2011 to 2020. Albumin, hematocrit, and creatinine were collected for each patient, alongside covariates.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of pulmonary nodules (PNs) and related influencing factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: Retrospectively analyzed the clinical and biochemical characteristics of 224 patients with PNs and 488 patients with non-PNs in patients with T2DM, and compared the clinical data of 72 patients with large nodules (≥ 5 mm) and 152 patients with small nodules (< 5 mm) in the pulmonary nodules (PNs) group.
Results: Compared to the non-PNs group, the PNs Patients in the group had a longer duration of diabetes, higher age, serum creatinine (SCR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and the lower albumin (ALB) and body mass index (BMI); women, diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min1.

Background: To explore the prevalence of hyperuricemia and its associated factors in uremic patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
Methods: Two hundred two uremic patients undergoing MHD for ≥ 3 months, in Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University, were enrolled. Pre-dialysis blood samples were tested during March 1st, 2023 to April 30th, 2023.

Background: Although complex anatomical liver resections are more often being performed laparoscopically, the short-term outcomes following laparoscopic anatomical liver resection (LALR), its optimal indications, and limitations remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify the indications for and limitations of LALR by assessing the short-term outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study included 233 patients who underwent LALR.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and requires specific interventions to decreases CVD risk. The guidelines indicate that systematic global CVD risk assessment is recommended in individuals with any major vascular risk factor. The European Society Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, he European Renal Association (ERA) Council and the Spanish Society of Nephrology (S.
