Article Synopsis
  • Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication that commonly occurs in patients with acute cholangitis (AC), with a notable incidence of about 24.06%.
  • The study analyzed data from 2010 to 2018 to determine trends and outcomes associated with AKI in AC patients, finding that AKI leads to more complications, longer hospital stays, and higher mortality rates.
  • Key risk factors for developing AKI include advanced age, specific health conditions, and hospital characteristics, while factors like female sex and private insurance may help reduce the risk of AKI in these patients.

Cell senescence, glycolysis, and mitochondrial deficit jointly regulate the development of septic acute kidney injury (SAKI). This study aimed to explore the role of circular RNA HIPK3 (circHIPK3) in mitochondrial function in SAKI. The SAKI mouse model was established by Candida albicans infection, followed by Western blot assay, measurements of serum lactate, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzimi-dazolylcarbocyanine iodide (JC-1) staining and flow cytometry.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the role of syringin in improving heart function during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and to determine whether the sirtuin 1/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (SIRT1/PGC-1α) pathway contributes to this cardioprotective effect in vivo and in vitro.

Methods: H9c2 cells were incubated with H O for 12 h. The effect of syringin was assessed by measuring cell viability; the apoptotic rate; Keap1/NRF2/HO-1 activation; and the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative products, and antioxidative enzymes.

Introduction: Sepsis is a life-threatening inflammatory state that can result in septic acute kidney injury (SAKI). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are implicated in various inflammatory diseases including SAKI. This study investigated the effect of circHIPK3 on inflammatory responses and cell senescence in Candida albicans-induced SAKI.

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is the main cause of acquired heart disease in children and can lead to coronary artery lesions. This present study was designed to analyze the characteristics of KD peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and to explore the potential molecular mechanism of KD.

Methods: PBMC was collected from one healthy child and one KD patient, and was used to single-cell RNA sequencing for cell clusters identification and differently expressed gene (DEG) determination.
