Circulating ANGPTL3/8 Concentrations Are Associated With an Atherogenic Lipoprotein Profile and Increased CHD Risk in Swedish Population-Based Studies.
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol
January 2025
Cardiovascular Medicine Unit, Department of Medicine Solna and Center for Molecular Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. (A.S., R.M.F., F.M.v.H.).
Background: Binding of ANGPTL (angiopoietin-like protein)-3 to ANGPTL8 generates a protein complex (ANGPTL3/8) that strongly inhibits LPL (lipoprotein lipase) activity, as compared with ANGPTL3 alone, suggesting that ANGPTL3/8 concentrations are critical for the regulation of circulation lipoprotein concentrations and subsequent increased coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. To test this hypothesis in humans, we evaluated the associations of circulating free ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL3/8 complex concentrations with lipoprotein concentrations and CHD risk in 2 prospective cohort studies.
Methods: Fasting blood samples were obtained in conjunction with the baseline evaluation of 9479 subjects from 2 population-based Swedish cohorts of middle-aged men and women.
Functional Remediation Improves Serum BDNF and TrkB Levels in Euthymic Patients with Bipolar Disorder: A Randomized Trial Study.
Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat
January 2025
Unit of Bipolar Disorder, Tianjin Anding Hospital, Tianjin, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: We aimed to verify the impact of functional remediation (FR) on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) levels, to explore the biomechanism of FR intervention in patients with euthymic bipolar disorder (BD).
Patients And Methods: This is a randomized controlled, 12-week intervention study with participants randomized into the FR group (n=39) and the treatment as usual group (TAU, n=42) at the 1∶1 ratio. 17-Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HDRS-17), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), and Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) were used to assess affective symptoms and cognitive functioning both at baseline and week 12, respectively.
Puerarin Attenuates Podocyte Damage in Mice With Diabetic Kidney Disease by Modulating the AMPK/Nrf2 Pathway.
Int J Endocrinol
January 2025
Nephrology Department, Jiangxi Provincial Key Research Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Key Research Laboratory of Chronic Renal Failure, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China.
This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms of puerarin in alleviating diabetic nephropathy (DKD) in mice. The DKD model was induced by multiple low-dose injections of streptozotocin (STZ) and a high-sugar and high-fat diet in male C57BL/6J mice. After confirming the onset of DKD, mice were given irbesartan, distilled water, or different concentrations of puerarin (40 and 80 mg/kg/d) by gavage for 8 weeks.

Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Lishui Central Hospital and the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Lishui, China.
Background: The difference between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated from cystatin C and creatinine (eGFRdiff) serves as a biomarker of kidney function impairment. However, the role of eGFRdiff in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health and its impact on mortality in CKM syndrome patients has not yet been studied.
Methods: This study included 3,622 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2004.
Acute kidney injury and ANCA positivity in a patient treated with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir: a case report.
Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Pathology, Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY, United States.
Background: Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir is an effective antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus infection and is generally regarded safe in patients with renal impairment. However, renal complications are a notable, albeit rare, concern.
Case Presentation: We report a case of acute kidney injury in a man in his 50s with chronic hepatitis C virus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, morbid obesity, a history of heroin dependence, and untreated type 2 diabetes mellitus.
