J Nephrol

December 2024

Department of Nephrology, Gansu Provincial Clinical Medical Research Center for Renal Diseases, The Second Hospital and Clinical Medical School, Lan Zhou University, No. 82, Cui Yingmen, Linxia Road, Chengguan District, Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are common causes of kidney diseases in children, often linked to genetic factors, but this study focuses on identifying modifiable maternal and fetal risks classified by disease phenotype.
  • A cohort study involved over 10,000 women who delivered in Lanzhou, China, collecting data through interviews and medical records to assess the link between maternal conditions and CAKUT in newborns.
  • Analysis found that maternal overweight, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, and low birth weight were independent risk factors for CAKUT, with specific risks for different CAKUT phenotypes like vesicoureteral reflux and ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

The first Clinical Medical College, Gansu University of Chinese Medicine, Lanzhou 730000, Gansu Province, China; Gansu Provincial Maternity and ChildCare Hospital, Lanzhou 730000, Gansu Province, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the link between stannum exposure during pregnancy and the occurrence of congenital heart diseases (CHDs) in children.
  • It followed 14,359 pregnant women over two years, comparing 97 women whose babies were diagnosed with CHDs to 194 without, analyzing blood samples for stannum levels.
  • Results indicated that higher levels of stannum in mothers' blood were significantly associated with an increased risk of various types of CHDs, suggesting that stannum can cross the placenta to affect fetal development.

Although many drugs that targeted the specific features of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) have substantial application in the clinical treatment of leukemia, the LSCs relapsed and caused drug-resistant leukemia. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the unique features of LSCs in relapsing and drug-resistant leukemia and also to explore the drugs that directed at these features. Our clinical data have indicated that relapsed patients with acute myeloid leukemia have more abundant proportion of LSCs with enhanced breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression when compared to the untreated patients.

Although many scientists are studying the association between genetic polymorphism of and CR in patients, the molecular mechanism has not been further studied in patients with CHD. This study investigated the relationship between SNP of the gene in patients with CHD and CR, and whether the polymorphism of the gene affects the AS of the gene. 741 patients were enrolled in the study, 316 CR cases and 425 NCR cases.
