The relationship between estimated pulse wave velocity and 28-day mortality in patients with sA-AKI: a retrospective cohort analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication in critically ill patients, especially those with sepsis. Recent studies suggest that estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) is an independent prognostic factor for in-hospital mortality in AKI patients. The objective of this research is to examine the correlation between ePWV and 28-day mortality among patients with sepsis-related acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).

The relationship between estimated pulse wave velocity and 28-day mortality in patients with acute kidney injury combined with congestive heart failure: a retrospective cohort analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.

Background: Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) is considered a standalone predictor of mortality in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients throughout their hospitalization. As ePWV increases, the all-cause mortality of heart failure patients increases. This research aimed to explore the connection between ePWV and 28-day mortality among patients diagnosed with AKI alongside congestive heart failure (CHF).

Mechanistic study of Liquiritigenin inhibiting bladder cancer cell proliferation and migration by regulating STING1.

Background: Bladder cancer (BLCA) is the most common malignant tumor in the urinary system, with a significantly higher incidence in men than in women, severely impacting quality of life. The STING1 gene (stimulator of interferon genes 1) plays a critical role in innate immunity by recognizing abnormal DNA and activating immune signaling pathways, promoting the expression of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby enhancing anti-tumor immune responses. Liquiritigenin (LQG), a flavonoid compound extracted from licorice, exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties, capable of inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and invasion while regulating autophagy.
