The influencing factors of the erythropoietin resistance index and its association with all-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients
This study aimed to investigate the influencing factors of erythropoietin resistance index (ERI) and its association with mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Patients enrolled from China Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) 5 were included. ERI was calculated as follows: ESA (IU/week)/weight (kg, post-dialysis)/hemoglobin level (g/dL). The Cox regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors on survival outcomes. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the related risk factors, and subgroup analyses were performed. A total of 1270 MHD subjects (687 males...

Placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells protect against diabetic kidney disease by upregulating autophagy-mediated SIRT1/FOXO1 pathway
Ren Fail. 2024 Dec;46(1):2303396. doi: 10.1080/0886022X.2024.2303396. Epub 2024 Jan 17.ABSTRACTDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common chronic microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Although studies have indicated the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for DKD, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we explored the renoprotective effect of placenta-derived MSCs (P-MSCs) and the potential mechanism of SIRT1/FOXO1 pathway-mediated autophagy in DKD. The urine microalbumin/creatinine ratio was determined using ELISA, and renal pathological changes were detected by special st...
