It is well known that many drugs can induce tubulointerstitial nephropathy (DTIN) in the kidney. There are two kinds of onset mechanisms such as dose-dependent and allergic nephropathy. Risk factors inducing DTIN are known as aging, dehydration, preexisting renal damage, hypertension and serum electrolyte abnormalities. Treatment of DTIN is firstly to cease suggestive drugs of inducing nephropathy and then followed by diuresis, correcting serum electrolyte levels and sometimes hemodialysis or hemoadsorption to reduce the suggested drug levels in the circulation. In allergic nephropathy, high-dose glucocorticoid therapy is available for improving renal function rapidly. The prevention of DTIN is to know the patients background and monitor serum drug levels.

Introduction: Onychomycosis is a nail infection caused by dermatophyte fungi, non-dermatophyte fungi, and yeast. Patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis are part of the population that presents higher rates of this disease, mainly due to immunosuppression. Among patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis, the treatment of onychomycosis is complex, mainly due to the limitations imposed by comorbidities.

Article Synopsis
- Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a significant cause of kidney failure in children, predominantly presenting as idiopathic cases which often recur after transplantation.
- Early treatment involving plasmapheresis and rituximab was evaluated in a study of pediatric kidney transplant recipients, showing that 75% experienced recurrence of FSGS post-transplant.
- The results demonstrated that plasmapheresis led to remission in all patients, and rituximab helped further sustain remission and reduce the need for plasmapheresis, with minimal adverse effects noted.

Tethered glycoconjugates of a naphthalene- and piperidine-containing antagonist of the P2Y receptor (PPTN) were synthesized, and their nM receptor binding affinity was determined using a fluorescent tracer in hP2YR-expressing whole CHO cells. The rationale for preparing mono- and disaccharide conjugates of the antagonists was to explore the receptor binding site, which we know recognizes a glucose moiety on the native agonist (UDP-glucose), as well as enhance aqueous solubility and pharmacokinetics, including kidney excretion to potentially counteract sterile inflammation. Glycoconjugates with varied linker length, including PEG chains, were compared in hP2YR binding, suggesting that an optimal affinity (IC, nM) in the piperidine series was achieved for triazolyl -linked glucose conjugates having one (, MRS4872, 3.

Dysfunctional adipose tissue is believed to promote the development of hepatic steatosis and systemic insulin resistance, but many of the mechanisms involved are still unclear. Lipin 1 catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol, the penultimate step of triglyceride synthesis, which is essential for lipid storage. Herein we found that adipose tissue LPIN1 expression is decreased in people with obesity compared with lean subjects, and low LPIN1 expression correlated with multi-tissue insulin resistance and increased rates of hepatic de novo lipogenesis.
