Transplacental growth-stimulating effect of the Cbl-coenzyme methylcobalamine (MeCbl) was revealed in organ cultures of embryonic kidney tissue in DBA/2 mice. MeCbl improved the survival of embryonic kidney explants and decreased the incidence of degenerative damage in cultures. The frequency of regeneration development was 30%. Hyperplastic epithelial changes were much more marked after transplacental MeCbl administration (71.8%), than in the control (9.0%).

Cardiovascular diseases such as stroke are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The underlying mechanisms connecting CKD and cardiovascular disease are yet to be fully elucidated, but inflammation is proposed to play an important role based on genetic association studies, studies of inflammatory biomarkers, and clinical trials of anti-inflammatory drug targets. There are multiple sources of both endogenous and exogenous inflammation in CKD, including increased production and decreased clearance of proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, metabolic acidosis, chronic and recurrent infections, dialysis access, changes in adipose tissue metabolism, and disruptions in intestinal microbiota.

Central nervous system hemangioblastoma (CNS-HB) is the most common manifestation of von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL). The main axis of the CNS-HB pathway is the VHL-HIF signaling pathway. Recently, we proposed an alternative VHL-JAK-STAT pathway in CNS-HB.

Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome associated with a multitude of conditions. Although renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains the cornerstone of treatment for advanced AKI, its implementation can potentially pose risks and may not be readily accessible across all healthcare settings and regions. Elevated lactate levels are implicated in sepsis-induced AKI; however, it remains unclear whether increased lactate directly induces AKI or elucidates the underlying mechanisms.

Background: Post-surgical tendon adhesion formation is a frequent clinical complication with limited treatment options. The aim of this study is to investigate safety and efficacy of orally administration of crocin in attenuating post-operative tendon-sheath adhesion bands in an Achilles tendon rat model.
Methods: Structural, mechanical, histological, and biochemical properties of Achilles tendons were analyzed in the presence and absence of crocin.

Extensive uses of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in different industries result in exposure to these nanoparticle imperatives in our daily lives. Resveratrol is found in many plants as a natural compound. The present study aimed to estimate the renal toxic effects of Ag NPs in adult male albino rats and the underlying relevant mechanisms while studying the possible role of resveratrol in ameliorating these effects.
