    Measurement method of renal uric acid excretion ability in patients with hyperuricemia 
    LIU Yue, WANG Yue
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2023, 22 (05): 381-383.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2023.05.014
    Abstract139)      PDF(pc) (341KB)(876)      
    About 90% of the hyperuricemia patients are found to have renal dysfunction of uric acid excretion. Guidelines and consensus from China and foreign countries have recommend that the 24-hour uric acid excretion fraction and/or 24-hour uric acid excretion can be used for assay of renal uric acid excretion ability, clinical classification and drug selection. However, collection of a 24-hour urine sample takes a long time, and the result may not be accurate due to the possible contamination and incomplete sampling during collection and limited urine storage condition. Previous studies have found that uric acid excretion fraction in random urine sample, especially in morning urine sample, is a simple and efficient method, which may replace the 24-hour uric acid excretion method to evaluate renal uric acid excretion function and to guide clinical classification and treatment in hyperuricemia patients.

    WANG Ze-min, SHAO Guo-jian, ZHENG Yue-nan, PAN Lu-lu, ZHENG Yi-yi
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2023, 22 (03): 202-205,220.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2023.03.010
    Abstract272)      PDF(pc) (413KB)(746)      
    Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is an important renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease. Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication in MDH patients. IDH may cause many adverse events and affect the quality of life and the prognosis of the patients. The discovery of high-risk factors for IDH is essential to the early identification of IDH. The IDH prediction models integrate multiple risk factors, can better predict the occurrence of IDH, and thereby improve the prognosis of MHD patients. This article discusses and summarizes the definition of IDH, risk factors for IDH, the types of prediction models, and the prediction models of IDH in China and foreign countries, in order to provide references for the construction of suitable prediction models for IDH.

    Research progress of cardiorenal anemia syndrome
    ZHONG Zhong, CHEN Wei
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2023, 22 (03): 164-167,172.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2023.03.002
    Abstract346)      PDF(pc) (378KB)(731)      
    There is a close interaction between the heart and the kidney. Cardiorenal syndrome encompasses a spectrum of disorders involving both the heart and kidney in which acute or chronic dysfunction in one organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction in the other organ. Anemia is very common in patients with both chronic kidney disease and heart failure. They interact and promote each other, forming a vicious circle, so they called the term cardiorenal anemia syndrome (CRAS). The occurrence of CRAS is mainly related to erythropoietin deficiency, iron deficiency, oxidative stress, inflammation response, and abnormal bone mineral metabolism. Patients with CRAS require comprehensive management, not only to control anemia, but also to actively treat heart failure, kidney injury and other comorbidities. Currently, the treatment of CRAS mainly focuses on erythropoietin and iron supplementation and the use of new hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors. However, there are still many unresolved problems regarding the treatment of CRAS, and more randomized controlled studies with large samples are needed to provide evidence-based medicine results in the future.

    Clinical Practice Recommendation for Arteriovenous Access Thrombosis Treatment
    WANG Yu-zhu, ZHANG Li-hong, ZHAN Shen
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2022, 21 (08): 545-459,568.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2022.08.001
    Abstract550)      PDF(pc) (476KB)(730)      
    Vascular access is the lifeline of maintenance hemodialysis patients. Arteriovenous fistula is the preferred vascular access, but it is prone to thrombosis which resulting in loss of fistula. Also, thrombosis is associated with hospitalization and all-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients. The establishment of vascular access and the treatment of complications in our country have made great progress in recent years, but there is a lack of systematic and standardized understanding of preoperative assessment, indications, method selection, technical points, and complication prevention for arteriovenous fistula thrombosis treatment. In view of this, the Department of Nephrology of Beijing Haidian Hospital drafted this recommendation with reference to relevant domestic and foreign literatures and a large amount of practical experience in our center, aiming to provide reference for nephrologists to standardize thrombosis treatment.

    Progresses in the application of nafamostat mesylate for anticoagulation during continuous renal replacement therapy 
    SUN Xian-kun WANG Fang, CHEN Zhi-wen, ZHANG Ling
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2022, 21 (11): 827-830.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2022.11.009
    Abstract1556)      PDF(pc) (351KB)(726)      
    The anticoagulants currently used may have contraindications and side effects, therefore continuous renal replacement therapy without anticoagulation is still common. Nafamostat mesylate has a short half-life, which may help critically ill patients avoid bleeding during blood purification. In Korea and Japan, Nafamostat mesylate is frequently utilized for anticoagulation in extracorporeal circulation line. However, there are no consensuses about the fundamental anticoagulant prescription, effective dose and monitoring strategy of the drug. Here we review the anticoagulation mechanism of nafamostat mesylate in patients on continuous renal replacement therapy, method of use, anticoagulation effect and limitations, so as to give a reference for future studies.

    Application of Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: Chinese Expert Consensus
    Chinese Expert Group Consensus on Application of Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2023, 22 (04): 241-253.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2023.04.001
    Abstract631)      PDF(pc) (572KB)(726)      
    Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem, and cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in patients with CKD. The incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular events during the early stages of CKD increases significantly with a decline in renal function. More than 50% of dialysis patients die from cardiovascular disease. Therefore, developing effective methods to control risk factors and improve prognosis of cardiovascular disease is the primary focus during the diagnosis and treatment of CKD. For example, the Systolic blood pressure intervention trial (SPRINT) study demonstrated that CKD drugs are effective in reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events by controlling blood pressure. Uncontrolled blood pressure not only increases the risk of these events but also accelerates the progression of CKD. Recent studies have repeatedly confirmed that the first and so far the only angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril/valsartan can reduce blood pressure more effectively than renin–angiotensin system inhibitors and improve the prognosis of heart failure in patients with CKD. Here, to better guide the application of ARNI in patients with CKD, and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events,we formulate a consensus based on clinical evidence and experience.

    The new classification of uremic toxins
    LI Chao, WEI Tao
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2023, 22 (11): 801-805,815.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2023.11.001
    Abstract362)      PDF(pc) (521KB)(697)      
    ?The retention and increase of uremic toxin will lead to a series of uremic symptoms, which will affect many systems of the whole body, and lead to the decline of patients' quality of life and high mortality. In 2003, the European Uremic Working Group classified uremic toxins into three groups according to their physical chemistry properties: water-soluble small molecule compounds, protein-binding compounds, and middle molecule compounds. With the new understanding of uremic solutes, the new data of sources and the development of hemodialysis methods and membrane materials, the previous classification can not fully adapt to the new progress in the field of blood purification. Accordingly, in november-december 2020, Claudio R, as president of the General Assembly, convened an expert meeting and prepared an expert consensus that provided new insights into the definition and classification of uremic toxin  tails the expert group's consensus recommendations for new definitions and more clinically oriented new classifications of uremic toxins.

    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2022, 21 (09): 692-696.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2022.09.015
    Abstract248)      PDF(pc) (564KB)(648)      
    Objective  The aim of this study was to observe the effect of the Chinese hyperkalemia risk assessment tool in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.   Methods   A total of 280 MHD patients from the three hospitals in the Suzhou New District were enrolled in this study. The control group (n=142) was given routine prevention and treatment methods for hyperkalemia. The experimental group (n=138) used Find, Organize, Clarify, Understand, Select, –Plan, Do, Check, Act (FOCUS-PDCA) model for graded intervention based on the risk level of hyperkalemia. The hyperkalemia related indexes were compared before and after the intervention.  Results  After 24 weeks of intervention, the prevalence of hyperkalemia (13.8% vs. 23.9%, c2=4.722, P=0.030) and blood potassium level (4.44±0.35 vs. 4.58±0.47mmol/l, t=2.850, P=0.005) were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group; the dialysis adequacy [1.32(1.22~1.54) vs. 1.24(1.20~1.30), Z=-5.360, P<0.001] and quality of life (63.79±14.59 vs. 56.30±16.29, t=-4.004, P<0.001) were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. After 12, 18 and 24 weeks of intervention, the prevalence of hyperkalemia (36.2% vs. 31.2% vs. 27.5% vs. 13.8%, x2=19.37, P<0.001) and blood potassium level (5.02±0.43 vs. 4.81±0.42 vs. 4.68±0.39 vs. 4.44±0.35 mmol/L, F=51.52, P<0.001) in the experimental group decreased gradually along with the intervention duration. After 24 weeks of intervention, 31 extreme-risk or high-risk patients (22.4%) turned to moderate-risk level (Z=16.326, P=0.001).  Conclusion  Based on the hyperkalemia risk assessment tool, the hierarchical management of MHD patients through FOCUS-PDCA model can significantly reduce potassium level and risk of hyperkalemia, and improve dialysis adequacy and quality of life. This method is worthy of promotion for clinical application.

    ZHANG Yi-ye, YAN Yan
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2023, 22 (03): 198-201.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2023.03.009
    Abstract235)      PDF(pc) (360KB)(646)      
    Autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the first choice of vascular access for maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. However, the rates of AVF immaturity and dysfunction are very high. Therefore, accurate evaluation of the prognosis of AVF after operation is helpful to optimize the treatment and improve the prognosis of MHD patients. In recent years, the clinical prediction models (CPMs) have been widely used for the evaluation of AVF. In the current review, we summarize the current research status of CPMs for AVF in MHD patients.

    GUO Xue-mei, ZHU Zhen-nan, LUO Jia-yi, ZHANG He-ping, JING Jian-ying
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2022, 21 (06): 408-412.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2022.06.006
    Abstract438)      PDF(pc) (511KB)(629)      
    Objective  To investigate the influencing factors for intradialytic hypotension (IDH) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, then to construct a risk prediction model and to evaluate the prediction effect of this model.  Methods  A total of 222 MHD patients in the Blood Purification Center of The Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from September 2020 to August 2021 were enrolled in this study as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into modeling group and modeling validation group in the patient number ratio of 6:4. Patients in the modeling group were further divided into IDH group and non-IDH group based on the definition of IDH in the National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Prognostic Quality Guidelines. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for IDH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to obtain the factors with P<0.05 for construction of the risk prediction model. Hosmer-Lemeshow test model was used to test the goodness of fit of the model. ROC curve was used to examine the predictive value of the model. The effectiveness of the constructed model was then evaluated in the modeling validation group.  Results  The incidence of IDH was 40.09% in the MDH patients. Predialysis systolic blood pressure (OR=0.959, 95% CI=0.932~0.988, P=0.005), hemoglobin (OR=0.962, 95% CI=0.929~0.996, P=0.030), magnesium (OR=79.558, 95% CI=2.644~2393.594, P=0.012), diabetes (OR=16.066, 95% CI=4.914~52.530, P<0.001), and hypertension (OR=5.221, 95% CI=1.661~16.409, P=0.005) were the influencing factors for IDH. Hosmer-Lemeshow test gave the result of P=0.718. When the optimal cut-off value was set at 0.436, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.922, the sensitivity was 0.83 and the specificity was 0.887. The Youden index was 0.717, and the correct rate of practical application was 83.15%.  Conclusion The model we constructed can better predict the risk of IDH in MDH patients and provides a reference for clinicians to evaluate IDH in MHD patients.

    To analyze the influencing factors for the duration of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, and to establish a model to predict the duration of CRRT in AKI patients.  Methods  A total of 102 AKI patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Jiangsu Province Hospital from April 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into <6 days group and ≥6 days group based on the median duration of CRRT [6.0 (2.3, 10.4) d]. Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression were used to find out the independent influencing factors for CRRT duration. The R software was then used to construct a prediction nomogram model, and the prediction value of this model was evaluated.  Results  Among the 102 AKI patients, 53 cases were in the <6 days group and 49 cases were in the ≥6 days group. Univariate analysis indicated that α1-MG (t=2.009,          P=0.047), β2-MG (t=2.402, P=0.018), Scr (t=2.395, P=0.019) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL; t=2.030, P=0.045) were lower in the <6 days group than in the ≥6 days, while mean arterial pressure (MAP; t=2.425, P=0.017) and urine volume (t=2.058, P=0.042) were higher in the <6 days group than in the ≥6 days. Binary logistic regression showed that urine volume (OR=1.131, 95% CI: 1.017~1.024), NGAL (OR=0.987, 95% CI: 0.982~0.993), α1-MG (OR=0.860, 95% CI: 0.767~0.976) and β2-MG (OR=0.755, 95% CI: 0.572~0.996) were the independent predictors for CRRT duration in AKI patients (P<0.05). The C-index of the nomogram model was 0.894 (95% CI: 0.723~0.896). The calibration curve showed that the average absolute error of prediction possibility was 0.029, indicating a better discrimination and accuracy of the prediction model.  Conclusion  The nomogram model constructed on the differences of urine volume, NGAL, α1-MG and β2-MG can better predict the duration of CRRT in AKI patients, and provide useful references for CRRT treatment in AKI patients.

    Abstract710)      PDF(pc) (504KB)(589)      
    Home Hemodialysis (HHD) is one of the methods of renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which is performed in a home environment by patients themselves or with the assistance of others. Although HHD has appeared and is widely used abroad as early as the 1960s, the proportion of HHD fell sharply due to the establishment of a large number of dialysis centers, the emergence of peritoneal dialysis, as well as the changes in reimbursement policies. In recent years, HHD has risen again because of its unique advantages. HHD can not only increase the survival rate of patients and improve the quality of life of patients, but also is of great significance in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic. In April 2020, Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine carried out the first case of home hemodialysis in mainland China, filling the gap of HHD in mainland China. With the burgeoning development of the Internet, the establishment of a standardized HHD training system and the continuous enrichment of experience, HHD is supposed to have broader prospects.

    Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the optimal vascular access for maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Vascular calcification (VC) is one of the important causes of AVF dysfunction, increasing the risks of dialysis inadequacy and death in the patients. Vascular calcification of AFV is a complicated process, resulting from the combined effects of pro-calcification factors and calcification inhibition factors, such as hemodynamic changes, calcium and phosphorus metabolism dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, and others. In this paper, the epidemiological characteristics, pathophysiology, pathogenesis, and prevention of AVF vascular calcification are summarized.

    Abstract298)      PDF(pc) (391KB)(577)      
    Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in hospitalized patients, and is associated with poor outcomes and higher mortality. Early identifying AKI before function loss is crucial to reverse the injury. Therefore, establishing an early-warning system for AKI is essential for clinicians to make the diagnosis and treatment decisions earlier. With the development of artificial intelligence, a variety of electronic alerts and machine learning-based predictive models to predict the risks of AKI have been developed. In the current review, we summarize the advances in the electronic systems based on artificial intelligence for predicting AKI.

    Chronic kidney disease is one of the public health problems harmful to human beings. Anemia is a major complication in chronic kidney disease patients, mainly caused by the decreased ability of erythropoietin (EPO) production in kidneys. Substances inhibiting erythropoietin production, iron deficiency, imbalance of iron homeostasis, chronic inflammation and short erythrocyte life span are the additional factors for anemia. Blood loss during hemodialysis is also involved in the anemia. Renal anemia may lead to cognitive impairment, increased hospitalization rate due to cardiovascular disease, and higher socio-economic burden, resulting in lower quality of life and higher mortality of the patients. High-flux dialysis is a blood purification method by using high-flux dialyzers instead of conventional dialyzers, having the advantage of efficient removal of medium and large molecular toxins to correct anemia. This paper summarizes the recent studies on the correction of anemia through dialysis, in order to clarify the mechanism of high-flux hemodialysis in the treatment of anemia.

    TANG Wen-jiao, LIAO Ruo-xi
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2023, 22 (06): 438-441.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2023.06.008
    Abstract245)      PDF(pc) (366KB)(569)      
    Renal anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Iron deficiency is highly prevalent in patients with CKD. On the other hand, CKD patients are vulnerable to iron overload due to long-term iron supplement. Serum transferrin and transferrin saturation are traditionally used in the evaluation of iron status. However, due to the chronic inflammation in CKD patients, these biomarkers can not reflect iron status accurately. Oral and intravenous iron therapy both show advantages and disadvantages in anemia treatment. New iron agents bring new choices for iron therapy in renal anemia, while their efficacy needs further studies.

    Abstract493)      PDF(pc) (629KB)(565)      
    Objectives: To investigate the improvement of protein-energy wasting (PEW) in hemodialysis patients after supplementation with Lexineng nutritional supplements. Methods: A total of 90 patients who had been on maintenance haemodialysis for more than 3 months and met the diagnosis of PEW in the hemodialysis units of 6 hospitals in Jiangxi Province were collected and randomly divided into a control group and a test group of 45 patients each. After the patients were given dietary instructions, the corresponding number of calories in the test group was replaced by one can of Lexineng supplement daily for 3 months. Changes in body mass index, laboratory parameters such as haemoglobin and albumin and assessment of safety effects were observed in both groups before and after 3 months of treatment with Lexineng supplementation.Results:A total of 90 patients were included in the study and 84 patients (41 in the control group and 43 in the trial group) eventually completed the trial as required, of whom 47 (55.95%) were male and the mean age was (61.6±11.39) years. The mean mineral intake levels were similar and the differences in the indicators between the two groups were not significant (p>0.05). After 3 months of the trial, the results showed that the changes in body measurements such as weight (Wt) and BMI in the control group were not significant compared to those before the trial (p>0.05), while the Wt、BMI increased significantly and the subjective global assessment (SGA) decreased significantly in the trial group (p<0.05). Serum albumin (Alb) and haemoglobin increased in both groups compared to the pre-test, with Alb and haemoglobin increasing more significantly in the test group (p<0.001), and albumin and haemoglobin were significantly higher compared to the control group (p<0.05); Leukodystrophy was also significant in reducing serum creatinine levels and increasing serum calcium concentrations (p<0.05), and was able to reduce blood glucose levels without increasing the fat burden.Conclusion: Sustained supplementation with Lexineng on maintenance hemodialysis is effective in improving PEW symptoms and other complications in haemodialysis patients in many ways.

    Abstract285)      PDF(pc) (1065KB)(526)      
    Objective To evaluate the effects and safety of Tenapanor in hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia by an updated meta-analysis.  Methods  All randomized controlled trials of Tenapanor were systematically searched in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wan fang and VIP databases. The primary endpoint was the mean difference (MD) of serum phosphorus changes using Tenapanor versus placebo control, and the secondary endpoint was the rate difference (RD) of the target serum phosphorus level (serum phosphorus level: ≤6 mg/dl). A subgroup analysis was also conducted based on whether phosphate binders were used. Drug-related adverse reactions and diarrhea were collected to determine the safety of Tenapanor.  Results  There were 4 eligible trials that enrolled 677 patients. The studies showed that Tenapanor significantly reduced serum phosphorus level by 2.345mg/dl (95% CI:-2.798~-1.892; P<0.001) and the achievement of the target serum phosphorus level (RD=0.363; 95% CI:0.147~0.579; P<0.001) was better than placebo. However, drug-related adverse events (RD=0.461; 95% CI:0.284~0.637; P<0.001), and diarrhea (RD=0.429; 95% CI:0.354~0.505; P<0.001) were more serious than placebo. Subgroup analysis found that there were no significant differences in the magnitude of serum phosphorus level with (MD=-2.070; 95% CI:-2.885~-1.255; P<0.001) or without (MD=-2.468; 95% CI:-3.013~-1.923; P<0.001) phosphate binders.  Conclusions The randomized placebo-controlled trials showed that Tenapanor significantly reduced serum phosphorus level in hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia with or without use of phosphate binders. Diarrhea was present frequently but no serious drug-related adverse events occurred.

    Abstract111)      PDF(pc) (774KB)(523)      
    Objective To investigate the role of Ferrostatin-1(Fer-1) in high glucose-induced ferroptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells. Method (1) 24 DBA/2J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal control group, Fer-1 intervention group, DM model group, DM + Fer-1 intervention group with 6 mice in each group. According to the body weight of mice, DBA/2J mice were injected intraperitoneally with freshly prepared Streptozocin at a dose of 40 mg / kg for 5 days to establish DM model. Fer-1 intervention group and DM+Fer-1 intervention group were given intraperitoneal injection of Fer-1 (2.5μmol/kg) every day for 12 weeks after modeling.. The control group and DM Group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of normal saline for 12 weeks. The expression levels of activated glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)and solute carrier family 7 A11(SLC7A11)were detected by Western blotting, and the expression and localization of GPX4 in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry.(2) Human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) were stimulated with high glucose (30 mmol/L) , and treated with 200 nm Fer-1. The expression of ferroptosis signaling in renal tubular epithelial cells was detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. Results  Compared with the normal control group, the levels of Fe2+and Malondialdehyde (MDA) in the kidney of DM model group were significantly up-regulated, glutathione (GSH) was significantly down-regulated ( t=35.073、15.732 and 4.954 respectively,all P < 0.001) , and the protein expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11, which were related to ferroptosis, were significantly up-regulated (t=12.432 and 5.484;P=0.006 and 0.003) . Compared with the DM model group, the levels of Fe2+ and MDA in the kidney of DM +Fer-1 intervention group were down-regulated, while GSH was up-regulated (t=14.503、4.675 and 7.124; all P<0.001) . The protein expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 were up-regulated (t =4.573 and 27.942;P= 0.039 and 0.001) . In addition, high glucose could induce the expression levels of ferroptosis related proteins GPX4 and SLC7A11 in HK-2 cells cultured in vitro to decrease significantly ( t=12.433 and 7.716;P=0.006 and 0.019) , the expression levels of GPX4 and SLC7A11 were significantly increased by Fer-1(t=5.136 and 5.043;P=0.035 and 0.037) . Conclusions  Inhibition of ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells induced by high glucose may be a new strategy to prevent the progression of DM.

    The regulatory role of p38 MAPK signaling pathway in the processes of neointimal hyperplasia in dialysis access vessels
    XIE Chun-he, WANG Bao-xing
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2022, 21 (08): 588-591.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2022.08.011
    Abstract262)      PDF(pc) (381KB)(519)      
    The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is one of the important signaling systems that mediates extracellular to intracellular signaling to regulate a variety of pathophysiological processes such as cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, matrix deposition, inflammation and apoptosis. Hyper- or hypoactivation of this signaling pathway may lead to the development of various diseases, including neointimal hyperplasia-mediated autogenous arteriovenous fistula dysfunction. The p38 MAPK signaling pathway is closely related to neointimal hyperplasia that causes many cardiovascular diseases as well as vascular stenosis after arteriovenous fistulas, bypass grafting and angioplasty operations, resulting in health problems of the patients and even social financial burdens. Based on the role of p38 MAPK signaling pathway in neointimal hyperplasia, modulation of this signaling pathway may be an alternative way for the treatment of neointimal hyperplasia-related diseases.

    Calciphylaxis is a misnomer and the Chinese translation of calciphylaxis is also a wrong name
    Yangming Cao
    Chinese Journal of Blood Purification    2022, 21 (09): 628-632.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-4091.2022.09.002
    Abstract279)      PDF(pc) (609KB)(514)      

    This review article explains that the term calciphylaxis originated from an animal model
    studying dermatomyositis in 1961. Shortly, it was borrowed to explain the calcification syndrome found in chronic kidney disease patients. But calciphylaxis in animal model and the calcification syndrome in kidney patients have different pathogenesis and different pathological findings. Obviously calciphylaxis is a misnomer for kidney patients. Therefore, calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) was proposed to explain the calcification syndrome in kidney patients. However, this syndrome can also occur in patients without kidney failure, including patients with normal kidney function, which will make CUA not suitable for such patients. Therefore,recently we proposed the termcalcific arteriolopathyto more accurately describe this calcification syndrome in patients with normal kidney function as well as those with kidney diseases. We also shared our experience in diagnosing CUA. For comparison, Martorell HYTILU (hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer), a diagnosis not commonly made in many countries, is reviewed. Apparently HYTILU and calciphylaxis are the same entity. In addition, we also points out that the term calciphylaxis is the combination of calcium and anaphylaxis,
    while  
    while “钙化防御” “ (calcification defense)is obviously from the combination of calcium and prophylaxis. In other words, the previous translator mistook anaphylaxis for prophylaxis. Therefore calcific arteriolopathy is a better term to describe the syndrome and is easier to be translated into Chinese.
