Function of the kidneys

This research was carried out to evaluate the acute and sub-chronic toxicity of ‘‘Huyet phu truc u hoan’’ (HPTUH) in experimental animals. The acute toxicity was defined on Swiss mice by the Litchfield – Wilcoxon’s method and the sub-chronic toxicity on Wistar rat’s hematopoietic function, liver, and kidney functions according to the World Health Organization Guidance.

This research aimed to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of Diabetna capsules through oral administration in experimental animals. Our result showed that Diabetna capsules had no deleterious effect on hematological parameters, hepato-renal functions, macroscopic and microscopic images of the livers and kidneys of Wistar rats.

There has been great progress in ureteral surgery in the last twenty years. The predominant indication is still calculous obstruction but reparative and plastic surgery of the ureter for congenital and acquired lesions are among the most interesting advances in modern urology. The essential goal of this surgery is to ensure free flow of the urine from the kidney to the bladder and so to preserve or improve kidney function which is always affected or threatened by any defect in the excretory pathway.

Ebook "The new paradigm of immunity to tuberculosis" illustrates the intimate relationship between alveolar macrophages and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb.), and the former’s role in both innate and adaptive immunity against M.tb. It covers research done over the last decade. It also explores the role of macrophage death following infection with M.tb. in determining whether successful immunity is stimulated, or whether clinical disease develops; furthermore, the function of host lipid mediators in macrophage death modality are addressed.

CRISPR/Cas9 has revolutionized cancer mouse models. Although loss-of-function genetics by CRISPR/Cas9 is wellestablished, generating gain-of-function alleles in somatic cancer models is still challenging because of the low efficiency of gene knock-in.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several hundred susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D). One critical, but unresolved, issue concerns the extent to which the mechanisms through which these diverse signals influencing T2D predisposition converge on a limited set of biological processes.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are 3′–5′ covalently closed RNA rings produced from back-splicing of precursor mRNA in eukaryotes. Recent studies, using both computational and experimental approaches, have allowed advanced characterization of circRNAs, leading the research field into a new era and shedding light on the contribution of circRNAs to disease.

DNA methylation (DNAm) is associated with gene regulation and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function. Decreased eGFR is more common among US Hispanics and African Americans. The causes for this are poorly understood. We aimed to identify trans-ethnic and ethnic-specific differentially methylated positions (DMPs) associated with eGFR using an agnostic, genome-wide approach.

To investigate right ventricular function in hemodialysis patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using twodimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. Methods: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who were on regular hemodialysis and had preserved LVEF and a group of age- and sex-matched control subjects were recruited for the study in Bach Mai Hospital.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary renal disorder and the fourth cause of death of end-stage renal disease. The disease has a prevalence of 1:400–1:1000 accounting for 10% of patients on dialysis. In most ADPKD patients, bilateral kidneys are similarly affected, with numerous fluid-filled cysts arising from different nephron segments.

Carboplatin is the backbone cytotoxic agent for many chemotherapy regimens for lung cancer. Dosing of carboplatin is complicated due to its relationship to renal function and narrow therapeutic index. Overestimation of renal function may lead to supratherapeutic dosing and toxicity, while underestimation may lead to underdosing and therapeutic failure.

One of the most important goals of kidney transplantation from a living kidney donor is to ensure that the function of the transplanted kidney as well as to preserve the function of the kidney donor. An ideal GFR test that ensures high accuracy, simplicity, safety, and economic efficiency is 24-hour Creatinine clearance in the assessment of living kidney donor. Objective: To achieve that, the evaluation of GFR in living kidney donors.
