Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare cerebrovascular disease that can occur at any age and generally has a good prognosis. Polycythemia vera and nephrotic syndrome are uncommon risk factors for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. A dilemma exists in the treatment of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with polycythemia vera and nephrotic syndrome, as some cases are refractory to first-line therapy. Here, we report a patient with CVST who presented with a generalized seizure and was found to have bilateral frontal lobe hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Brain magnetic resonance venography showed extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis extending from the superior sagittal sinus to the left internal jugular vein. Further testing revealed that the patient had polycythemia vera and nephrotic syndrome. Anticoagulation therapy had limited effects. He underwent endovascular intervention, including stent thrombectomy, intermediate catheter aspiration, balloon dilatation, and local intravenous thrombolysis, to achieve revascularization. After 9 months of follow-up, the patient had recovered well without any sequelae. This case shows that in patients with critical cerebral venous sinus thrombosis who fail to respond to anticoagulant therapy, stent thrombectomy combined with intermediate catheter aspiration, balloon dilation, and local thrombolysis may be a viable option. This strategy can quickly resolve venous sinus obstruction and improve the prognosis of patients with critical cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
Acute kidney injury(AKI)is an extremely hazardous clinical syndrome characterized by rapid decline of renal function, with high morbidity and mortality. Renal replacement therapy(RRT) including in vitro blood purification and peritoneal dialysis(PD) is an effective method for the treatment of AKI. The application of peritoneal dialysis in AKI is often overlooked. The article reviews the research progress of peritoneal dialysis for treatment of acute kidney injury.

Objective: The aim of the current study investigate the correlation between the serum level of Pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) and cardio-vascular disease (CVD) in the patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and its clinical significance. Methods: A total of 86 patients with CAPD in our hospital were divided into two groups: Group CVD (45 patients with CVD) and Group non-CVD (41 patients without CVD). Another 82 healthy controls were selected simultaneously as Group CON. The clin-ical data and related biochemical indexes were collected, and the levels of PTX-3 in all the subjects were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The serum PTX-3 level in the patients with CAPD was (1.86 +/- 0.25) ng/mL, which was significantly higher than that in Group CON (1.65 +/- 0.34) ng/mL. The serum PTX-3 level in Group CVD was significantly higher than Group non-CVD (P< 0.001). The ROC curves of CVD (with PTX-3 and CRP as the test variables) showed that the AUC of the two indexes had statistical significance (P< 0.05), and PTX-3 was superior to C-reactive protein (CRP); the correlation analysis of PTX-3 in CAPD patients with different indexes showed that PTX-3 was positively correlated with CRP while negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI), TG, Hb, serum albumin (ALB), and KT/V. Conclusions: The serum level of PTX-3 in CAPD-CVD patients is significantly higher than that in CAPD patients without CVD, and the serum level of PTX-3 may be an independent risk factor for CVD.
Objective: To investigate the symptom relief, postoperative complications, and recurrence in the patients with uremic SHPT after subtotal parathyroidectomy (S-PTX), total parathyroidectomy (T-PTX), or total parathyroidectomy combined with auto-transplantation (PTX+AT). Methods: A total of 92 patients with SHPT undergoing parathyroidectomy in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to their surgical procedures and compared the levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), etc. before surgery and one week, one month and six months after surgery, and observed postoperative complications, recurrence rate and symptom improvement among these groups. Results: All the symptoms such as bone pain were relieved to varying degrees in the 3 groups. The postoperative serum levels of Ca, P, and intact PTH (iPTH) decreased in all groups than preoperative values (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the serum Ca and P among the three groups (P>0.05). The levels of PTH in group S-PTX and group PTX+AT were higher than group T-PTX at the 3 postoperative time points (P<0.05). The 6-month follow-up revealed no difference in recurrence rate among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The three kinds of parathyroidectomy can all safely and effectively treat uremic SHPT. T-PTX is superior in reducing iPTH to the other two groups.

The purpose of this study was to summarize the pathogens that cause peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis and to identify risk factors for PD-associated peritonitis. This retrospective study included 115 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving PD therapy. Patients were categorized into two groups: peritonitis group (n = 41) and non-peritonitis group (n = 74). Clinical data and laboratory tests were collected from medical records. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to evaluate associations between PD-associated peritonitis and potential risk factors. PD-associated peritonitis occurred 54 times in 41 patients. The most frequently identified pathogen was Gram-positive cocci (57.78%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum albumin (β = –0.208, P < 0.001), blood phosphorus concentration (β = –1.732, P = 0.001), gastrointestinal disorders (β = 1.624, P = 0.043), and use of calcitriol (β = –2.239, P = 0.048) were significantly correlated with PD-associated peritonitis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed that the areas under the curve were 0.832 for serum albumin and 0.700 for blood phosphorus concentration with optimal cut-off values of 29.1 g/L for serum albumin and 1.795 mmol/L for blood phosphorus concentration. Gram-positive coccus is the major pathogen responsible for PD-associated peritonitis. Serum albumin <29.1 g/L, blood phosphorus concentration <1.795 mmol/L, and intestinal disorders are risk factors for PD-associated peritonitis, whereas the use of calcitriol can reduce the risk of PD-associated peritonitis.

Tubular epithelial‑myofibroblast transdifferentiation (TEMT) is important in the development of chronic renal failure. The present study investigated whether hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) inhibits TEMT, and whether this function may be associated with the inhibition of angiotensin II (AngII) and the Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway. Human HK‑2 kidney proximal tubular cells were divided into 4 groups and treated with AngII (1x10‑6 M), HGF (8x10‑3 M), AngII plus HGF or control conditions, followed by an assessment of apoptosis induction and the expression levels of α‑smooth muscle actin (α‑SMA), which is a marker of TEMT. as well as the activation level of JAK2, phosphorylated (p)‑JAK2, STAT3 and p‑STAT3 signaling pathways. In HK‑2 cells, α‑SMA mRNA and protein expression levels increased following treatment with AngII, however, decreased expression was observed following exposure to HGF. HGF counteracted the AngII‑induced increase in the expression of α‑SMA in HK‑2 cells. Similar expression profiles were observed for the phosphorylated forms of JAK2 and STAT3, indicating the possible involvement of this signaling pathway. The results demonstrated that treatment of cells with AngII was associated with the induction of apoptosis when compared with the control. By contrast, treatment with HGF attenuated AngII‑induced apoptosis. The results suggested that HGF may inhibit TEMT by inhibiting AngII through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in HK‑2 cells and HGF may prevent apoptosis induced by AngII. The present study provides a basis for understanding the mechanisms involved in the inhibition of TEMT by HGF, which requires further investigation.

Several studies have shown that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) ameliorates chronic renal failure, but its mechanism of action is unclear. This study was designed to test the delivery of HGF in the PCI-neo vector, using the 5/6 nephrectomized rat as a model for chronic renal failure, and to confirm that this protective function is associated with decreased protein expression of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta 1). Rats were randomly divided into the following groups: Control (untreated), PCI-neo (vector control), 5/6 nephrectomy, and PCI-neo-HGF. Rats were sacrificed at both the fifth and ninth week after 5/6 nephrectomy. Kidney specimens were used for pathological examination (hematoxylin-eosin staining), and detection of TGF-beta 1 protein (Western blot and immunohistochemistry) expression. Blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and 24-h urinary protein excretion (UPE) were increased, renal interstitium was seriously injured, and TGF-beta 1 protein expression was elevated in 5/6 nephrectomized rats compared to control rats at either time point. Red blood cell and hemoglobin levels decreased in the ninth week after 5/6 nephrectomy. PCI-neo-HGF expression ameliorated the aforementioned changes and decreased TGF-beta 1 expression, not only in the fifth week, but also in the ninth week after surgery. The process of renal injury in the 5/6 nephrectomized rat was consistent with that of chronic renal failure. The increase in TGF-beta 1 expression was maintained after 5/6 nephrectomy. HGF relieved chronic renal failure, this protection was associated with down-regulation of TGF-beta 1 protein expression, and the protective effects were long-term and stable after 5/6 nephrectomy.

This study aimed to examine whether hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) can improve renal function in 5/6 nephrectomized rats and investigate whether this function is associated with a decrease in α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in rat glomerulus mesangial cells and renal interstitium. Rats were randomly divided into the following groups: control, PCI-neo, sham-operation, 5/6 nephrectomy, and low-dose and high-dose PCI-neo-HGF. Rats were killed in the ninth week after 5/6 nephrectomy, and the kidney specimens were subjected to pathological examination by Hematoxylin–Eosin staining and detection of α-SMA expression by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. The results showed that blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels were increased, renal interstitium was injured, and α-SMA expression was elevated in 5/6 nephrectomized rats compared with that in control. The above changes were ameliorated in the rats injected with PCI-neo-HGF vector. At the molecular level we found that PCI-neo-HGF repressed α-SMA expression in mesangial cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. In conclusion, our data suggest that HGF can relieve chronic renal failure, and this protection is associated with the down-regulation of α-SMA expression in mesangial cells and renal interstitium.
