Early release of neonatal ureteral obstruction preserves renal function.
The incidence of congenital hydronephrosis is approximately 1% and is often associated with renal insufficiency. It is unknown whether early release is essential to prevent deterioration of renal function. Rats were subjected to partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO) on postnatal day 2. The obstruction was left in place or released after 1 or 4 wk. Renal blood flow (RBF) and kidney size...
متن کاملInhibition of SMAD2 phosphorylation preserves cardiac function during pressure overload.
AIMS Left ventricular (LV) pressure overload leads to myocardial remodelling and reduced cardiac function. Both cardioprotective and deleterious effects have been attributed to SMAD2/3 (SMAD, small mothers against decapentaplegic) signalling, but the role of these important molecules in pressure overload remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of SMAD2 inhibition on ca...
متن کاملCalpain inhibition preserves myocardial structure and function following myocardial infarction.
Cardiac pathology, such as myocardial infarction (MI), activates intracellular proteases that often trigger programmed cell death and contribute to maladaptive changes in myocardial structure and function. To test whether inhibition of calpain, a Ca(2+)-dependent cysteine protease, would prevent these changes, we used a mouse MI model. Calpeptin, an aldehydic inhibitor of calpain, was intraveno...
متن کاملComplement 5a receptor inhibition improves renal allograft survival.
Complement activation plays a key role in mediating apoptosis, inflammation, and transplant rejection. In this study, the role of the complement 5a receptor (C5aR) was examined in human renal allografts and in an allogenic mouse model of renal transplant rejection. In human kidney transplants with acute rejection, C5aR expression was increased in renal tissue and in cells infiltrating the tubul...
متن کاملPredicting early renal allograft function using clinical variables.
BACKGROUND Suboptimal early graft function following renal transplantation remains a significant challenge. It is suggested that clinical variables (or scoring systems based thereon) may predict the occurrence of delayed graft function (DGF), defined as post-operative dialysis requirement. However, data is conflicting, and suboptimal renal function not requiring dialysis has been little investi...
