Isolated ultrafiltration (UF) has been shown to preserve plasma volume (PV) by means of a high plasma refilling rate, mediated by a rapid rise in oncotic pressure. This mechanism contributes to the good tolerance of sequential ultrafiltration-hemodialysis (SUH). This study compared PV changes induced by SUH and sequential hemodialysis-ultrafiltration (SHU). Seven dialysis patients underwent two sets of SUH and SHU, in which 2 h of UF (approximately equal to 3L) respectively preceded or followed 2 h of no-weight-change hemodialysis (ISO HD). VEM (volume of extravascular mobilization), VEM/VUF (percent of plasma refilling rate) and delta PV were calculated by mathematical formulas. Results showed: 1) a high VEM/VUF during the UF period, either before or after ISO HD: 80 and 77% respectively; 2) a significant increase in PV during ISO HD after UF, compared to ISO HD before UF: + 229 ml and + 43 ml, P less than 0.05; 3) VEM/VUF significantly higher during SUH than during SHU: 87 and 80%, P less than 0.01. In conclusion, the decrease in PV was lower in SUH than in SHU (11 vs. 19%, P less than 0.001) because the plasma refilling persisted through the ISO HD period.

Background: Glycocalyx degradation is implicated in endothelial damage and microcirculatory dysfunction in sepsis, whereas the effectiveness of plasma syndecan-1 levels and sublingual microcirculatory parameters in evaluating sepsis's prognosis has not yet been determined. This study aims to track their dynamic changes and investigate the prognostic utility of these indexes in sepsis.
Methods: In this prospective study conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, blood samples were collected from adult surgical septic patients within 2 days after intensive care unit admission measuring plasma syndecan-1 concentrations.

Three-weekly 4-h hemodialysis/hemodiafiltration (HD/HDF) per week has become the "standard HD/HDF" regimen in children across the globe, although increasingly criticized, since crucial determinants such as residual kidney function and patient preferences are not considered. As a consequence, several children fail to achieve adequate dialysis while on a "standard HD/HDF." In these circumstances, an extended dialysis prescription such as short daily (2-3 h/session, 5-7 days a week) or nocturnal HD/HDF (6-9 h/session, 3-5 days a week), either at home or in a dialysis center, may be considered.

This work unveils critical insights through spectroscopic analysis highlighting electrical phenomena and oxygen vacancy generation in self-aligned fully solution-processed oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs). Ar inductively coupled plasma treatment was conducted to fabricate an amorphous indium zinc oxide (a-InZnO) TFT in a self-aligned process. Results showed that the Ar plasma-activated a-InZnO regions became conductive, which means that a homogeneous layer can act as both channel and electrode in the device.

Background: Ultrafiltration (UF) is an essential process of restoring fluid homeostasis during hemodialysis (HD). Fluid shifts across the extracellular compartments during UF, predominantly across the capillary interface and between the macro- and microcirculation. A mismatch between UF and transcapillary fluid transport can lead to hemodynamic instability leading to cardiac morbidity.
