Inhibition of Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission improves contrast-induced acute kidney injury by targeting the mROS-TXNIP-NLRP3 inflammasome axis
Int Immunopharmacol. 2024 Apr 11;133:112001. doi: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical complication known for their extremely high mortality rate and lack of effective clinical therapy. Disorders in mitochondrial dynamics possess a pivotal role in the occurrence and progression of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) by activating NLRP3 inflammasome. The activation of dynamin-related protein-1 (Drp1) can trigger mitochondrial dynamic disorders by regulating excessive mitochondrial fission. However, the precise role of Drp1 during CIN has not been clarified. In vi...

Predictors of augmented renal clearance based on iohexol plasma clearance in critically ill children
ConclusionsOur findings raise PICU clinician awareness about increased risk for ARC after major surgery and in patients with eGFR above age-specific thresholds. This knowledge enables identification of patients with an ARC risk profile who would potentially benefit from a dose increase at initiation of treatment to avoid underexposure.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT05179564, registered retrospectively on January 5, 2022.Graphical abstractA higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available asSupplementary information (Source: Pediatric Nephrology)

Determination of glomerular filtration rate “en passant” after high doses of iohexol for computed tomography in intensive care medicine—a proof of concept
Accurate assessment of renal function is of great clinical and scientific importance, as it is an important pharmacokinetic covariate of pivotal drugs. The iohexol clearance is nearly identical to the glomerular filtration rate, but its determination usually requires an intravenous injection and therefore bears intrinsic risks. This motivates to showcase an “en passant” approach to quantification of renal function without additional risk or blood sampling beyond routine care using real-world data. We enrolled 37 intensive care patients who received high doses of iohexol for computed tomography imaging, and quantified s...

Metallic artifacts-free spectral computed tomography angiography based on renal clearable bismuth chelate
Biomaterials. 2023 Dec 14;305:122422. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122422. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTComputed tomography angiography (CTA) is one of the most important diagnosis techniques for various vascular diseases in clinic. However, metallic artifacts caused by metal implants and calcified plaques in more and more patients severely hinder its wide applications. Herein, we propose an improved metallic artifacts-free spectral CTA technique based on renal clearable bismuth chelate (Bi-DTPA dimeglumine) for the first time. Bi-DTPA dimeglumine owns the merits of ultra-simple synthetic process, approximately 100% o...

Effects of Low-Osmolar Contrast Media on Long-Term Renal Impairment After Coronary Angiography: Iohexol Versus Iopromide
To investigate the long-term effects of 2 commonly used low-osmolar contrast media, iohexol and iopromide, on renal function and survival in patients who underwent coronary angiography. A total of 14,141 cardiology patients from 2006 to 2013 were recruited, of whom 1,793 patients (679 patients on iohexol and 1,114 on iopromide) were evaluated for long-term renal impairment and 5,410 patients (1,679 patients on iohexol and 3,731 on iopromide) were admitted for survival analyses spanning as long as 15  years.

Cystatin C as a marker of renal function in patients with chronic intestinal failure on long-term parenteral nutrition
Rationale: The estimation of renal function parameters is inaccurate in Chronic Intestinal Failure (CIF) patients on parenteral nutrition (PN). The aim of the present study is to assess the reliability of 3 CKD-EPI GFR estimating equations (eGFR) (Creatinine, Cystatin C or combined Creatinine/Cystatin C) compared to the Iohexol plasma clearance (mGFR) in patients on long-term PN (> 6 months) due to CIF.

A New Method for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta)
In this study, we aimed to determine if the Schwartz formula as used in human pediatric medicine can estimate GFR in rhesus macaques. We hypothesized that iohexol-GFR would correlate with the Schwartz formula-estimated GFR (eGFR) in irradiated and non-irradiated rhesus macaques. Twelve rhesus macaques [age 5-14 years (mean 7 years); 5 females, 7 males] with a range of BUN levels were selected for comparison to 4 non-irradiated controls (2 females, 2 males). Irradiated animals were divided by BUN into 3 groups: BUN ≤20 mg/dL (n = 4), BUN >20-24 mg/dL (n = 4), and BUN ≥25 mg/dL (n = 4). Baseline serum chemistry and ur...
