Pruritus in chronic cholestatic liver disease.

Pruritus is a troublesome complication in patients with cholestatic liver disease. Several links to its pathogenesis have been proposed, including the role of bile acids, endogenous opioid and serotonins, and lysophosphatidic acid. The management of pruritus in cholestasis is challenging. Medical treatment of the underlying cholestatic condition may provide benefit. Extracorporeal albumin dialysis can be pursued for those who have a poor quality of life and failed the various therapeutic interventions, while awaiting liver transplantation. Experimental interventions, and the management of prur

Its effect may be visible both in terms of development and function of B and T lymphocytes. Polyclonal immunoglobulin may be used as therapy in many diseases in different circumstances such as primary and secondary hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent infections, polyneuropathies, cancer, after allogeneic transplantation in the presence of infections and/or GVHD. However, recent studies have broadened the possible uses of polyclonal immunoglobulin showing that it ca

Кассетная нефропатия в СИС: Раннее признание и экстракорпоральные стратегии улучшения результатов.

Острая почечная травма (АКИ), вызванная кастами, является частой, но недостаточно признанной причиной дисфункции почек в отделении интенсивной терапии. Она возникает, когда фильтрованные белки или пигменты - свободные световые цепи (ФЛК) в множестве миеломы, миоглобин в хабдомиолизе, билирубин в тяжелом холестазе или гемоглобин в внутриваскулярном гемолизе - возникают внутри почечных трубок, образуя обструктивные касты и вызывая окислительные и подстрекательские травмы. Раннее распознавание имеет важное значение, поскольку традиционные маркеры (кротинин, мочи) задерживаются. Формирующиеся биом

Liver replacement therapy with extracorporeal blood purification techniques current knowledge and future directions.

Clinically, it is highly challenging to promote recovery in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Despite recent advances in understanding the underlying mechanisms of ALF and ACLF, standard medical therapy remains the primary therapeutic approach. Liver transplantation (LT) is considered the last option, and in several cases, it is the only intervention that can be lifesaving. Unfortunately, this intervention is limited by organ donation shortage or exclusion criteria such that not all patients in need can receive a transplant. Another option is to

Перевозка и сдерживание движения sphingosine-1-phosphate Экспортеры SPNS2.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) — сигнал лизолипида, имеющий решающее значение для развития сердца, иммунитета и слуха. Соответственно, мутации в переносчике S1P SPNS2 связаны с уменьшением числа белых клеток и нарушениями слуха. СПНС2 также экспортирует S1P-mimicking FTY720-P (Финголимод) и, таким образом, является центральным элементом фармакокинетики этого препарата при лечении множественного склероза. Здесь мы используем комбинацию крио-электронной микроскопии, иммунофлюоресценции, связывания in vitro и в vivo S1P-оценки экспорта, а также молекулярное моделирование динамики для исследования

Derivation and elimination of uremic toxins from kidney-gut axis.

Uremic toxins are chemicals, organic or inorganic, that accumulate in the body fluids of individuals with acute or chronic kidney disease and impaired renal function. More than 130 uremic solutions are included in the most comprehensive reviews to date by the European Uremic Toxins Work Group, and novel investigations are ongoing to increase this number. Although approaches to remove uremic toxins have emerged, recalcitrant toxins that injure the human body remain a difficult problem. Herein, we review the derivation and elimination of uremic toxins, outline kidney-gut axis function and relati

Pruritus in Systemic Diseases: A Review of Etiological Factors and New Treatment Modalities.

Pruritus is the most frequently described symptom in dermatology and can significantly impair the patient's quality of life. In 10-50% of adults with persistent pruritus, it can be an important dermatologic clue for the presence of a significant underlying systemic disease such as renal insufficiency, cholestasis, hematologic disorder, or malignancy (Etter and Myers, 2002; Zirwas and Seraly, 2001). This review describes the presence of pruritus in different systemic diseases. It is quite important to discover the cause of pruritus for providing relief for the patients experiencing substantial

Acute Kidney Injury in Monoclonal Gammopathies.

Monoclonal gammopathies (MG) encompass a variety of disorders related to clonal expansion and/or malignant transformation of B lymphocytes. Deposition of free immunoglobulin (Ig) components (light or heavy chains, LC/HC) within the kidney during MG may result over time in multiple types and degrees of injury, including acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is generally a consequence of tubular obstruction by luminal aggregates of LC, a pattern known as "cast nephropathy". Monoclonal Ig LC can also be found as intracellular crystals in glomerular podocytes or proximal tubular cells. Proliferative glom

Harnessing CAR-Extracellular Vesicles for Next-Generation Cancer Immunotherapy.

Cancer immunotherapy has experienced substantial progress in recent years, particularly with the advancement of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology, which enables immune cells to selectively target tumor-associated antigens.
