Article Abstract
Hot-air drying is an effective method to enhance the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in edible tubers/tuberous roots. However, consumers prefer fresh food to processed food. Therefore, this study aims to develop an effective method to increase the GABA levels in the tubers of Chinese yam (CY tubers) and the tubers/tuberous roots of other plants while preserving its original appearance. Among nitrogen treatment (treatment under a nitrogen atmosphere), carbon dioxide (CO) treatment (treatment under a CO atmosphere), vacuum treatment, and water immersion, CO treatment was the most effective GABA-level-increasing method for CY tubers, with water immersion being more effective than nitrogen treatment and vacuum treatment. The GABA level in CY tubers treated with CO for 72 h reached 1.25 ± 0.08 mg/g. CO treatment and water immersion were also effective GABA-level-increasing methods for CY bulbils, potatoes, and lotus tubers, but they were less effective for carrots.

ift140-Deficient Zebrafish as a Model for Kidney Cystogenesis and an F0-Based Screen for Genetic Modifiers of Kidney Cysts.

Background: Genetic modifiers are believed to play an important role in the onset and severity of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), but identifying these modifiers has been challenging due to the lack of effective methodologies.
Methods: We generated zebrafish mutants of IFT140, a skeletal ciliopathy gene and newly identified autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD) gene, to examine skeletal development and kidney cyst formation in larval and juvenile mutants. Additionally, we utilized ift140 crispants, generated through efficient microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ)-based genome editing, to compare phenotypes with mutants and conduct a pilot genetic modifier screen.
Randomized trial of activated vitamin D for acute kidney injury prevention in critically ill patients.
JCI Insight
September 2025
Division of Nephrology, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, United States of America.
Background: Active vitamin D metabolites, including 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), have potent immunomodulatory effects that attenuate acute kidney injury (AKI) in animal models.
Methods: We conducted a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multiple-dose, 3-arm clinical trial comparing oral calcifediol (25D), calcitriol (1,25D), and placebo among 150 critically ill adult patients at high-risk of moderate-to-severe AKI. The primary endpoint was a hierarchical composite of death, kidney replacement therapy (KRT), and kidney injury (baseline-adjusted mean change in serum creatinine), each assessed within 7 days following enrollment using a rank-based procedure.
Effect of knee joint position on soleus muscle function during isokinetic plantarflexion.

Purpose: Contribution of the gastrocnemii muscles to ankle moment is influenced by the knee joint position because they span the knee and the ankle joint as well. However, limited information is available on the effect of knee joint position on soleus activation under dynamic plantarflexion, hence the aim of this study was to investigate if soleus have a compensatory strategy in fascicle behavior or EMG activity during knee flexed plantarflexion in order to reduce the magnitude of the decrement in ankle moment.
Equipment And Methods: Isokinetic dynamometry with EMG and ultrasound measurements was used to estimate medial gastrocnemius and soleus behavior during knee flexed and extended plantarflexions using three angular velocities.
Early-Start vs. Late-Start Icodextrin for Children Receiving Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis: Findings from the International Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Network.

University College London Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and Institute of Child Health, London, UK.
Background: Experience with icodextrin use in children on long-term peritoneal dialysis is limited. We describe international icodextrin prescription practices and their impact on clinical outcomes: ultrafiltration, blood pressure control, residual kidney function (RKF), technique and patient survival.
Methods: We included patients under 21 years enrolled in the International Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Network (IPPN) between 2007 and 2024, on automated PD with a daytime dwell.
Role of Systemic Glucocorticoids in Reducing IgA and Galactose-Deficient IgA1 Levels in IgA Nephropathy.

Kidney Division, Peking University First Hospital, Peking University Institute of Nephrology; Key Laboratory of Kidney Disease, Ministry of Health of China; Key Laboratory of Chronic Kidney Disease Prevention and Treatment (Peking University), Ministry of Education, China.
Background: The Therapeutic Effects of Steroids in IgA Nephropathy Global (TESTING) trial demonstrated that glucocorticoid therapy reduced proteinuria and improved kidney outcomes in patients with Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN). Galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) plays a central role in IgAN pathogenesis by promoting immune complex formation. However, the effects of glucocorticoid on pathogenic IgA levels remain unclear.
