Article Abstract
Background: Obstructive nephropathy (ON) is caused by obstruction of urine flow, featured with progressive renal dysfunction and progressing into chronic kidney disease. There is still controversy whether to remove the kidney or simply relieve obstruction in patients with late diagnosis. Reliable biomarker is needed for predicting renal function reversibility in ON patients. As the frontier in non-coding RNA research, circRNA is involved in the pathological progress of ON, however, the correlation between hsa_circ_0012138 expression and renal function reversibility remains unknown.
Methods: RT-qPCR and RNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH) to identify hsa_circ_0012138; Bioinformatics analysis: Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA); Clinical data analysis: the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
Results: In this study we identified hsa_circ_0012138 expression in the kidney tissue by RT-qPCR. By GSEA enrichment, we speculated that it may regulate the expression of multiple target genes related to renal fibrosis through ceRNA mechanism. We further detected its expression in urine of ON patients with different stage. Combined with the other clinical variables, statistical analysis found that, compared with NAGL, hsa_circ_0012138 has good specificity and sensitivity in prediction the renal function reversibility after kidney-sparing surgery in ON patients, and is expected to be used as a prognostic marker to guide surgical decision-making.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) substantially increases cardiovascular risk, with endothelial dysfunction as its central pathological mechanism. This review summarises the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction in CKD and highlights recent advances in treatment strategies. The pathophysiology of endothelial injuries involves a complex network of multiple factors and mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation, glycocalyx damage, ischaemia, hypoxia, cellular senescence and endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT).

Background: Inflammation impacts the prognosis of numerous types of tumors. Inflammatory indicators such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, and neutrophil-to-eosinophil ratio (NER) have emerged as potential prognostic markers and are closely correlated with the outcomes of cancer patients. However, the connection between NER and cancer prognosis remains incompletely understood.

Myocardial infarction (MI), induced by ischemia and hypoxia of the coronary arteries, presents as myocardial necrosis. Patients often experience intense, prolonged retrosternal pain that is unrelieved by rest or nitrate therapy and is frequently associated with high blood myocardial enzyme levels. Physical effort may exacerbate this anxiety, increasing the likelihood of life-threatening consequences such as arrhythmias, shock, or cardiac failure.

Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology has been reported in Mesoamerican regions and other parts of the world, with increasing evidence pointing to heat stress as a central contributing factor. The incidence of acute kidney injury appears to correlate strongly with heat exposure, as demonstrated in both human and animal studies. The underlying mechanisms of heat-induced kidney injury are likely multifactorial, involving hemodynamic changes, immune responses, and possibly coagulopathies.

Objective: To assess the effect of belzutifan, a first-in-class oral hypoxia-inducible factor 2α inhibitor, on retinal hemangioblastoma (RH) outcomes.
Subjects/methods: This is a single-centre retrospective cohort study of patients with confirmed von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHLS) and RH. Subjects were taking oral belzutifan for renal cell carcinoma, central nervous system hemangioblastoma, or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.
