Background: Brucellosis is one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases worldwide, posing a significant public health concern across both developed and developing nations. While musculoskeletal system involvement is the most common form of focal brucellosis, the genitourinary system represents the second most affected site. However, Brucella-related kidney involvement remains a rare manifestation of genitourinary brucellosis.
Case Presentation: We herein present the case of a 55-year-old Iranian male patient, initially admitted with symptoms indicative of osteoarticular brucellosis, who subsequently developed pyelonephritis confirmed by positive urine culture for Brucella. He was treated with gentamicin for 10 days and rifampin and doxycycline for a period of 6 weeks. The patient fully recovered.
Conclusion: Our case highlights the importance of considering brucellosis as a potential cause of pyelonephritis, especially where brucellosis is endemic and when musculoskeletal involvement is present. Additionally, a comprehensive review of the literature on kidney involvement in brucellosis was conducted to provide further insights into this condition. Clinical Trial number Not applicable.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) TDP43 negatively regulates PKZ-IRF3-mediated IFN I response.

School of Life Science, Nanchang University, Nanchang, China.
Transactive response DNA binding protein 43 kD (TDP43), encoded by the tardbp gene, is a member of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoproteins family. In this study, a gradual upregulation of TDP43 messenger RNA was observed in either Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney cells or zebrafish following stimulation with B-DNA, grass carp reovirus, or spring viremia of carp virus. Moreover, grass carp reovirus stimulation enhances the dimerization, phosphorylation, and cytoplasm-to-nucleus translocation of TDP43 in zebrafish (DrTDP43).

The gut-kidney axis is the bidirectional relationship between the gut microbiota and the kidney function. Chronic inflammatory responses can impair kidney function and probiotics and postbiotics agents can have positive effects on gut health and kidney function by modulating inflammation through affecting autophagy signaling pathway. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the properties of our probiotic and postbiotics to improve kidney health by focusing the autophagy signaling pathway.

Purpose: There is very limited evidence on the optimal surgical treatment for patients with larger T2 renal tumors. This study aims to evaluate the oncologic outcomes of partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) in T2 renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Methods: A retrospective data analysis was conducted on T2 RCC patients who underwent PN or RN between 2004 and 2019 using the SEER database, and validated with data from multiple centers in China from 2014 to 2019.

A20/Tnfaip3, an early NF-κB response gene and key negative regulator of NF-κB signaling, suppresses proinflammatory responses. Its ubiquitinase and deubiquitinase activities mediate proteasomal degradation within the NF-κB pathway. This study investigated the involvement of A20 signaling alterations in podocytes in the development of kidney injury.
