Article Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to measure the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) polymorphism lengths in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from uremia patients.
Method: We sequenced the alternative polyadenylation sites in the 3'-UTR of PBMCs from 10 uremic patients and 10 healthy people to detect different gene expression levels between uremia patients and healthy controls. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used as validation.
Result: Compared with the healthy control group, 691 genes in uremic patients had significantly different 3'-UTR lengths. Of these genes, 475 genes showed shortened 3'-UTRs, and the 3'-UTRs of 216 genes were lengthened. The verification results matched the original sequencing results.
Conclusion: There were significant differences in 3'-UTR lengths between uremic patients and healthy controls, and analysis of the differential genes may contribute to the understanding of uremia pathogenesis.

Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Analysis of Carotid Calcified Plaques in Stroke Patients.

Neurosurgery, Tokyo Metropolitan Hiroo Hospital, Tokyo, JPN.
Background: Vascular calcification represents ectopic deposition of calcium phosphate in the arterial wall. Component analysis of calcifications using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has helped to elucidate arteriosclerosis, but reports examining carotid calcified plaque remain lacking. The present study qualitatively evaluated calcifications using DECT in patients with stroke in our institution.

Uremic polyserositis is a rare and often underdiagnosed manifestation of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), typically characterized by concurrent or sequential inflammation of multiple serosal membranes. We report a diagnostically challenging case of a 40-year-old woman with ESRD on intermittent hemodialysis who presented with dyspnea following a missed dialysis session. Imaging revealed bilateral pleural effusions, a moderate-to-large pericardial effusion, and ascites.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome caused by an invasive infection (SP-HUS) is a rare and severe disease that primarily affects children under two years of age. The pathophysiology of SP-HUS remains poorly understood, and treatment is largely supportive. Complement factor H (FH) is a key regulator of the alternative pathway of the complement system.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an extremely common but underdiagnosed problem in adults receiving dialysis therapy. Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis have a higher prevalence of OSA compared to the general population (Nicholl et al., 2013; Kimmel et al.

The symbiosis between intestinal bacteria and the human body's physiological processes can modulate health. The intestinal microbiota is linked to the development of neurotrophic factors; therefore, it is increasingly related to the modulation of nervous system pathologies. Moreover, microbiota can interfere with inflammation and oxidative stress, which are closely linked to cardiovascular risk factors and several other inflammatory conditions, such as kidney and neurodegenerative diseases.
