Abstract
BACKGROUND:Kidney allograft resistive index (RI) is prognostic for graft and recipient survivals. Recipient hemodynamics could influence RI. In particular, dialysis arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has been involved in heart function changes, reversible after AVF ligation. Knowledge about AVF and RI is lacking. In this study, we prospectively evaluated RI changes after AVF ligation in kidney transplanted patients. METHODS:We enrolled 22 stable transplanted patients. Mean RI was measured before AVF ligation (T0), 18 to 24 h (T1) and 6 months (T6) after surgery; mean blood pressure (mBP), heart rate (HR), serum creatinine (sCr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), 24 h proteinuria (24 h-P), immunosuppressive drug blood levels (IS) and antihypertensive drugs were also recorded. RESULTS:AVF ligation was performed 3.1 years (IQR: 2.1-3.8) after transplantation. Median AVF flow (Qa) was 1868 mL/min (IQR: 1538-2712) and 8 AVF were classified as high flow (Qa ≥ 2 L/min). At baseline, median sCr was 1.32 mg/dL (IQR: 1.04-1.76) and median eGFR was 57.1 mL/min. Median RI was 0.71 at T0, 0.69 at T1, 0.66 at T6. RI reduction at T1 and T6 was statistically significant (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001 respectively); in particular, 90.4% of patients had persistently improved values at T6. Furthermore, mBP increased while HR decreased. These changes were independent from sCr, 24 h-P, IS, antihypertensive drugs number, Qa and AVF type. CONCLUSIONS:AVF ligation improves kidney allograft RI; it may reflect better kidney perfusion.
摘要
背景: 肾移植阻力指数 (RI) 是移植物和受体存活的预后指标。受体血流动力学可影响RI。特别地,透析动静脉瘘 (AVF) 已经涉及心脏功能改变,AVF结扎后是可逆的。缺乏关于AVF和RI的知识。在这项研究中,我们前瞻性地评估肾移植患者AVF结扎后的RI变化。 方法: 我们纳入了22例稳定的移植患者。AVF结扎前 (T0) 、术后18 ~ 24 h (T1) 、术后6个月 (T6) 测量平均RI; 平均血压 (mBP) 、心率 (HR) 、血清肌酐 (sCr) 、估计肾小球滤过率 (eGFR) 、24 h蛋白尿 (24 h-P),同时记录免疫抑制药物血药浓度 (IS) 和抗高血压药物。 结果: 移植后3.1年 (IQR: 2.1-3.8) 进行AVF结扎。中位AVF流量 (Qa) 为1868 ml/min (IQR: 1538-2712),8 AVF被分类为高流量 (Qa ≥ 2 l/min)。在基线时,中位sCr为1.32 mg/dL (IQR: 1.04-1.76),中位eGFR为57.1 ml/min。中位RI在T0为0.71,T1为0.69,t6为0.66。T1和T6时的RI降低具有统计学显著性 (分别为p <0.05和p <0.001); 特别是,90.4% 的患者在T6时具有持续改善的值。此外,mBP增加而HR降低。这些变化与sCr、24 h-P、IS、抗高血压药物数量、Qa和AVF类型无关。 结论: AVF结扎改善了移植肾RI,可能反映了更好的肾脏灌注。

METHODS::The ATP binding-cassette superfamily corresponds the mostly transmembrane transporters family found in humans. These proteins actively transport endogenous and exogenous substrates through biological membranes in body tissues, so they have an important role in the regulation of many physiological functions necessary for human homeostasis, as well as in response regulation to several pharmacological substrates. The development of multidrug resistance has become one of the main troubles in conventional chemotherapy in different illnesses including cancer, being the increased efflux of antineoplastic drugs the main reason for this multidrug resistance, with a key role of the ABC superfamily. Likely, the interindividual variability in the pharmacological response among patients is well known, and may be due to intrinsically factors of the disease, genetic and environmental ones. Thus, the understanding of this variability, especially the genetic variability associated with the efficacy and toxicity of drugs, can provide a safer and more effective pharmacological treatment, so ABC genes are considered as important regulators due to their relationship with the reduction in pharmacological response. In this review, updated information about transporters belonging to this superfamily was collected, the possible role of these transporters in cancer, the role of genetic variability in their genes, as well as some therapeutic tools that have been tried to raise against main transporters associated with chemoresistance in cancer.
METHODS:BACKGROUND:Cholinergic neurotransmission regulates neuroinflammation in Parkinson disease (PD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:The authors conducted a delayed-start study of donepezil for cognitive decline in non-demented PD patients. The study consisted of a 96-week randomized placebo-controlled double-blind phase 1, followed by a 24-week donepezil extension phase 2. The primary outcome measure was a change in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) at week 120. RESULTS:A total of 98 patients were randomly allocated to the early-start (donepezil-to-donepezil) and delayed-start (placebo-to-donepezil) groups. Mean (SD) of the baseline MMSE was 27.6 (2.0) and 28.0 (2.1), respectively. MMSE change at week 120 was better in the early-start group than in the delayed-start group, but the difference was not significant. The MMSE declined in apolipoprotein ε4 carriers, but not in non-carriers, and the factor interaction (intervention × ε4 genotype) was highly significant (P < 0.001). Analyzed with the interaction, the difference was significant (group difference 1.95 [0.33 to 3.57], P = 0.018). The MMSE decline slope in phase 1 was significantly better in the early-start group than in the delayed-start group (P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS:Cognitive function deteriorated in ε4 carriers, but not in non-carriers, and early-start donepezil may postpone cognitive decline in the former.
METHODS::Since the discovery of dental pulp stem cells, a lot of teams have expressed an interest in dental pulp regeneration. Many approaches, experimental models and biological explorations have been developed, each including the use of stem cells and scaffolds with the final goal being clinical application in humans. In this review, the authors' objective was to compare the experimental models and strategies used for the development of biomaterials for tissue engineering of dental pulp with stem cells. Electronic queries were conducted on PubMed using the following terms: pulp regeneration, scaffold, stem cells, tissue engineering and biomaterial. The extracted data included the following information: the strategy envisaged, the type of stem cells, the experimental models, the exploration or analysis methods, the cytotoxicity or viability or proliferation cellular tests, the tests of scaffold antibacterial properties and take into account the vascularization of the regenerated dental pulp. From the 71 selected articles, 59% focused on the "cell-transplantation" strategy, 82% used in vitro experimentation, 58% in vivo animal models and only one described an in vivo in situ human clinical study. 87% used dental pulp stem cells. A majority of the studies reported histology (75%) and immunohistochemistry explorations (66%). 73% mentioned the use of cytotoxicity, proliferation or viability tests. 48% took vascularization into account but only 6% studied the antibacterial properties of the scaffolds. This article gives an overview of the methods used to regenerate dental pulp from stem cells and should help researchers create the best development strategies for research in this field.
