Ren Fail 2024; 46:2349122. [PMID: 38721891 PMCID: PMC11085996 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2349122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: During the acute heart failure (AHF), acute kidney injury (AKI) is highly prevalent in critically ill patients. The occurrence of the latter condition increases the risk of mortality in patients with acute heart failure. The current research on the relationship between nutritional risk and the occurrence of acute kidney injury in patients with acute heart failure is very limited. Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV, version 2.1) database. We included adult patients with AHF who were admitted to the intensive care unit in the study. Results: A total of 1310 critically ill patients with acute heart failure were included. The AUC of geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) (0.694) is slightly superior to that of controlling nutritional status (CONUT) (0.656) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (0.669). The Log-rank test revealed a higher risk of acute kidney injury in patients with high nutritional risk (p < 0.001). Multivariate COX regression analysis indicated that a high GNRI (adjusted HR 0.62, p < 0.001) was associated with a reduced risk of AKI during hospitalization in AHF patients. The final subgroup analysis demonstrated no significant interaction of GNRI in all subgroups except for diabetes subgroup and ventilation subgroup (P for interaction: 0.057-0.785). Conclusion: Our study findings suggest a correlation between GNRI and the occurrence of acute kidney injury in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors protect against contrast-associated acute kidney injury in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1384523. [PMID: 39055658 PMCID: PMC11269114 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1384523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and aims Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) may occur in patients undergoing medical procedures involving x-rays and radiocontrast media, potentially resulting in prolonged renal impairment. However, no effective treatments are available. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of evolocumab, a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor, in reducing CA-AKI incidence among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention between January 2020 and December 2021 at Tianjin Chest Hospital. The study endpoint was CA-AKI incidence, and the impact of selection bias and other potential confounding factors was mitigated using bias matching. Overall, 1,642 patients were included in this study: 821 patients received evolocumab treatment before contrast agent application, and 821 did not receive such treatment. Results CA-AKI incidence was 6.21% and 8.04% in the evolocumab and control groups, respectively. After propensity-score matching, the incidence rate was 5.09% and 14.16% in the evolocumab and control groups, respectively. Evolocumab treatment significantly reduced CA-AKI incidence (p < 0.001). Consistent findings were obtained in the subgroups of individuals with type II diabetes mellitus, chronic heart failure, and hypertension. Evolocumab exhibited a significantly greater protective effect in the high- and extremely high-risk populations than in the low- and middle-risk populations (p < 0.001). Conclusions Evolocumab administration significantly reduced CA-AKI incidence among patients with ASCVD. Notably, this effect was more prominent within the subset of high- and extremely high-risk individuals who were already experiencing CA-AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to identify the incidence and risk factors for contrast-associated acute kidney injury nephropathy (CA-AKI) in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CCT) in the emergency department. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective single-center study, patients aged 18 and older who visited the emergency department and underwent CCT between January and February 2022 were included. The Mehran score, calculated from patient data, was used to assess risk. CA-AKI development was determined by measuring serum creatinine (SCr) levels 48-72 h post-contrast administration. RESULTS The study included 532 patients, with a mean age of 57 ± 19 years; 53.2% were male. CA-AKI developed in 16% of cases, 5.82% required hemodialysis, and 7.9% died. The Mehran score was the only significant predictor of CA-AKI development. Patients with a Mehran score of 16 or higher had a 161-fold increased risk of developing CA-AKI compared to those with a score of 5 or lower. The model achieved a 91.3% correct classification rate. Logistic regression analysis showed that CA-AKI significantly increased mortality risk by 15.7 times. CONCLUSION The Mehran score, originally developed for predicting CA-AKI risk post-coronary intervention, is also effective for predicting CA-AKI risk after CCT. While CA-AKI is a significant factor affecting mortality, it is not the sole cause of death (Nagelkerke R2 value 0.310).

Red Blood Cell Distribution Width to Albumin Ratio for Predicting Type I Cardiorenal Syndrome in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Retrospective Cohort Study. J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:3771-3784. [PMID: 38882186 PMCID: PMC11180445 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s454904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio (RAR) is a novel inflammatory biomarker that independently predicts adverse cardiovascular events and acute kidney injury. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of RAR for cardio-renal syndrome type I (CRS-I) risk in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Patients and methods This study retrospectively enrolled 551 patients who were definitively diagnosed as AMI between October 2021 and October 2022 at the Affiliated Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University. Participants were divided into two and four groups based on the occurrence of CRS-I and the quartiles of RAR, respectively. Demographic data, laboratory findings, coronary angiography data, and drug utilization were compared among the groups. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis were performed to identify independent risk factors for CRS-I and evaluated the predictive value of RAR for CRS-I. Results Among the cohort of 551 patients, 103 (18.7%) developed CRS-I. Patients with CRS-I exhibited significantly elevated RAR levels compared to those without the condition, and the incidence of CRS-I correlated with escalating RAR. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified RAR as an independent risk factor for CRS-I. ROC curves analysis demonstrated that RAR alone predicted CRS-I with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.683 (95% CI=0.642-0.741), which was superior to the traditional inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP). Adding the variable RAR to the model for predicting the risk of CRS-I further improved the predictive value of the model from 0.808 (95% CI=0.781-0.834) to 0.825 (95% CI=0.799-0.850). Conclusion RAR is an independent risk factor for CRS-I, and high levels of RAR are associated with an increased incidence of CRS-I in patients with AMI. RAR emerges as a valuable and readily accessible inflammatory biomarker that may play a pivotal role in risk stratification in clinical practice.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a serious condition that may develop in patients undergoing diagnostic radiologic procedures. Several treatments have been assessed to prevent CIN development. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of vitamin E in the prevention of CIN compared to intravenous (IV) saline hydration. The literature search included MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Web of Science, ProQuest, and Scopus for articles published until May 11, 2024, without language or time limits. The outcomes included the incidence of CIN, new-onset dialysis, and death (primary), as well as the change in serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (secondary). Numerical and dichotomous outcomes were presented as standardized mean difference (SMD) and risk ratio (RR), respectively, with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Six clinical trials were included. Vitamin E was administered orally in varying doses, but one study used IV infusion. Vitamin E decreased the risk of developing CIN by 59% (n=5; pooled RR: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.25, 0.65; P<0.001) compared to IV hydration. None of the patients required renal replacement therapy. One patient on vitamin E died due to the occurrence of acute coronary syndrome. Vitamin E is a promising effective prophylaxis against CIN. However, the number of included studies and their sample sizes are small. The studies showed several limitations. There is a need for further high-quality clinical trials to ascertain the effectiveness of vitamin E compared to IV hydration and to compare vitamin E to other therapies, such as N-acetyl cysteine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The link between malnutrition and poor prognosis in cardiovascular disease has been established but the association between malnutrition and contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), a common complication of coronary procedures, remains poorly understood. In this study we investigated the predictive value of 3 nutritional indexes for CA-AKI in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS The study included a total of 6,049 consecutive patients undergoing PCI between May 2012 and September 2020, among whom 352 (5.8%) developed CA-AKI. We used the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) to assess the association between malnutrition risk and CA-AKI after PCI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that malnutrition, as identified by GNRI and PNI, was significantly associated with a higher risk of CA-AKI (moderate-severe malnutrition in GNRI: odds ratio [OR]=1.92, [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.27-2.85]; malnutrition in PNI: OR=1.87, [95% CI, 1.39-2.50]), whereas the CONUT score did not demonstrate a significant difference (P>0.05). Furthermore, GNRI (∆AUC=0.115, P<0.001) and PNI (∆AUC=0.101, P<0.001) exhibited superior predictive ability than the CONUT score for CA-AKI and significantly improved reclassification and discrimination in the fully adjusted model. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition, especially identified by the GNRI and PNI, was associated with a higher risk of CA-AKI after PCI. GNRI and PNI performed better than the CONUT score in predicting CA-AKI.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of nano- and microcarriers for preclinical and clinical imaging are highly attractive due to their unique features, for example, multimodal properties. However, broad translation of these carriers into clinical practice is postponed due to the unknown biological reactivity of the new components used for their synthesis. Here, we have developed microcarriers (∼2-3 μm) and nanocarriers (<200 nm) made of barium carbonate (BaCO3) for multiple imaging applications in vivo. In general, barium in the developed carriers can be used for X-ray computed tomography, and the introduction of a diagnostic isotope (99mTc) into the BaCO3 structure enables in vivo visualization using single-photon emission computed tomography. The bioimaging has shown that the radiolabeled BaCO3 nano- and microcarriers had different biodistribution profiles and tumor accumulation efficiencies after intratumoral and intravenous injections. In particular, in the case of intratumoral injection, all the types of used carriers mostly remained in the tumors (>97%). For intravenous injection, BaCO3 microcarriers were mainly localized in the lung tissues. However, BaCO3 NPs were mainly accumulated in the liver. These results were supported by ex vivo fluorescence imaging, direct radiometry, and histological analysis. The BaCO3-based micro- and nanocarriers showed negligible in vivo toxicity towards major organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen. This study provides a simple strategy for the design and fabrication of the BaCO3-based carriers for the development of dual bioimaging.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid deterioration in renal function, manifested by a significant increase in creatinine and a sharp decrease in urine output. The incidence of morbidity and mortality associated with AKI is on the rise, with most patients progressing to chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease. Treatment options for patients with AKI remain limited. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a wide and diverse class of non-coding RNAs that are present in a variety of organisms and are involved in gene expression regulation. Studies have shown that circRNA acts as a competing RNA, is involved in disease occurrence and development, and has potential as a disease diagnostic and prognostic marker. CircRNA is involved in the regulation of important biological processes, including apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. This study reviews the current status and progress of circRNA research in the context of AKI.

Abstract
Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), which can subsequently worsen the overall prognosis. To evaluate the efficacy of spironolactone for CIN prevention, 410 patients with AMI and CKD receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 240 and 170 patients were enrolled in the standard treatment and spironolactone groups (spironolactone was administered 2 days before and 3 days after PCI), respectively. The primary endpoint of CIN was defined as a 0.5 mg/dL or >25% increase from the baseline serum creatinine level within 48-72 h post-PCI. CIN incidence was significantly lower in the spironolactone group than in the standard treatment group (11.2 vs 26.7%, P < .001). Further, cardiac re-hospitalization (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.515; 95% CI: 0.382-0.694; P < .001) and cardiac death (HR: 0.612; 95% CI: 0.429-0.872; P = .007) risks were significantly lower in patients who received long-term spironolactone with a median treatment duration of 42 months after discharge. Spironolactone might lower the risk of CIN, and long-term use of spironolactone reduces the risk of cardiac re-hospitalization and cardiac death in patients with AMI and CKD undergoing PCI.

Interleaved x-ray imaging: A method for simultaneous acquisition of quantitative and diagnostic digital subtraction angiography. Med Phys 2024; 51:2468-2478. [PMID: 37856176 PMCID: PMC10994749 DOI: 10.1002/mp.16794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow altering angiographic procedures suffer from ill-defined, qualitative endpoints. Quantitative digital subtraction angiography (qDSA) is an emerging technology that aims to address this issue by providing intra-procedural blood velocity measurements from time-resolved, 2D angiograms. To date, qDSA has used 30 frame/s DSA imaging, which is associated with high radiation dose rate compared to clinical diagnostic DSA (up to 4 frame/s). PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to demonstrate an interleaved x-ray imaging method which decreases the radiation dose rate associated with high frame rate qDSA while simultaneously providing low frame rate diagnostic DSA images, enabling the acquisition of both datasets in a single image sequence with a single injection of contrast agent. METHODS Interleaved x-ray imaging combines low radiation dose image frames acquired at a high rate with high radiation dose image frames acquired at a low rate. The feasibility of this approach was evaluated on an x-ray system equipped with research prototype software for x-ray tube control. qDSA blood velocity quantification was evaluated in a flow phantom study for two lower dose interleaving protocols (LD1:3.7 ± 0.02 mGy / s $3.7 \pm 0.02\ {\mathrm{mGy}}/{\mathrm{s}}$ and LD2:1.7 ± 0.04 mGy / s $1.7 \pm 0.04{\mathrm{\ mGy}}/{\mathrm{s}}$ ) and one conventional (full dose) protocol (11.4 ± 0.04 mGy / s ) $11.4 \pm 0.04{\mathrm{\ mGy}}/{\mathrm{s}})$ . Dose was measured at the interventional reference point. Fluid velocities ranging from 24 to 45 cm/s were investigated. Gold standard velocities were measured using an ultrasound flow probe. Linear regression and Bland-Altman analysis were used to compare ultrasound and qDSA. RESULTS The LD1 and LD2 interleaved protocols resulted in dose rate reductions of -67.7% and -85.5%, compared to the full dose qDSA scan. For the full dose protocol, the Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LOA) between qDSA and ultrasound velocities were [0.7, 6.7] cm/s with a mean difference of 3.7 cm/s. The LD1 interleaved protocol results were similar (LOA: [0.3, 6.9] cm/s, bias: 3.6 cm/s). The LD2 interleaved protocol resulted in slightly larger LOA: [-2.5, 5.5] cm/s with a decrease in the bias: 1.5 cm/s. Linear regression analysis showed a strong correlation between ultrasound and qDSA derived velocities using the LD1 protocol, with aR 2 ${R}^2$ of0.96 $0.96$ , a slope of1.05 $1.05$ and an offset of1.9 $1.9$ cm/s. Similar values were also found for the LD2 protocol, with aR 2 ${R}^2$ of0.93 $0.93$ , a slope of0.98 $0.98$ and an offset of2.0 $2.0$ cm/s. CONCLUSIONS The interleaved method enables simultaneous acquisition of low-dose high-rate images for intra-procedural blood velocity quantification (qDSA) and high-dose low-rate images for vessel morphology evaluation (diagnostic DSA).

Berberine ameliorates contrast-induced acute kidney injury by regulating HDAC4-FoxO3a axis-induced autophagy: In vivo and in vitro. Phytother Res 2024; 38:1761-1780. [PMID: 37922559 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 09/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
In hospitals, contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a major cause of renal failure. This study evaluates berberine's (BBR) renal protection and its potential HDAC4 mechanism. CI-AKI in rats was induced with 10 mL kg-1 ioversol. Rats were divided into five groups: Ctrl, BBR, CI-AKI, CI-AKI + BBR, and CI-AKI + Tasq. The renal function of CI-AKI rats was determined by measuring serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Histopathological changes and apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells were observed by HE and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdTase)-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe autophagic structures. In vitro, a CI-AKI cell model was created with ioversol-treated HK-2 cells. Treatments included BBR, Rapa, HCQ, and Tasq. Analyses focused on proteins and genes associated with kidney injury, apoptosis, autophagy, and the HDAC4-FoxO3a axis. BBR showed significant protective effects against CI-AKI both in vivo and in vitro. It inhibited apoptosis by increasing Bcl-2 protein levels and decreasing Bax levels. BBR also activated autophagy, as indicated by changes in autophagy-related proteins and autophagic flux. The study further revealed that the contrast agent ioversol increased the expression of HDAC4, which led to elevated levels of phosphorylated FoxO3a (p-FoxO3a) and acetylated FoxO3a (Ac-FoxO3a). However, BBR inhibited HDAC4 expression, resulting in decreased levels of p-FoxO3a and Ac-FoxO3a. This activation of autophagy-related genes, regulated by the transcription factor FoxO3a, played a role in BBR's protective effects. BBR, a traditional Chinese medicine, shows promise against CI-AKI. It may counteract CI-AKI by modulating HDAC4 and FoxO3a, enhancing autophagy, and limiting apoptosis.

Abstract
Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) or contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) refers to an acute kidney injury (AKI) occurring after exposure to contrast media, commonly used in diagnostic procedures or therapeutic angiographic interventions. Recently, Na/K citrate, used for urine alkalinization, has been assessed for preventing CIN. This experiment evaluated Na/K citrate's efficacy in preventing CIN in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Methods A prospective randomized clinical trial involved 400 patients with moderate- to high-risk factors for CIN undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). They were randomly assigned to either the control or Na/K citrate groups. The Na/K citrate group (n = 200) received a 5 g Na/K citrate solution diluted in 200 mL water 2 hours before and 4 hours after the first administration, along with intravenous hydration for 2 hours before and 6 hours after the procedure. In contrast, the control group (n = 200) received only intravenous hydration. Serum creatinine (SCr) levels were measured before contrast exposure and 48 hours afterward. CIN was defined as a 25% increase in serum creatinine (SCr) or > 0.5 mg/dL 48 hours after contrast administration. The significance level was set at P ˂ 0.05. Results CIN was observed in 33 patients (16.5%) in the control group and 6 patients (3%) in the Na/K citrate group. The incidence of CIN was found to have a significant difference between the 2 groups 48 hours after receiving the radiocontrast agent (P < 0.001). Conclusion Our results show that Na/K citrate is helpful and substantially reduces the incidence of CIN.

Abstract
Polymers as biomaterials possess favorable properties, which include corrosion resistance, light weight, biocompatibility, ease of processing, low cost, and an ability to be easily tailored to meet specific applications. However, their inherent low X-ray attenuation, resulting from the low atomic numbers of their constituent elements, i.e., hydrogen (1), carbon (6), nitrogen (7), and oxygen (8), makes them difficult to visualize radiographically. Imparting radiopacity to radiolucent polymeric implants is necessary to enable noninvasive evaluation of implantable medical devices using conventional imaging methods. Numerous studies have undertaken this by blending various polymers with contrast agents consisting of heavy elements. The selection of an appropriate contrast agent is important, primarily to ensure that it does not cause detrimental effects to the relevant mechanical and physical properties of the polymer depending upon the intended application. Furthermore, its biocompatibility with adjacent tissues and its excretion from the body require thorough evaluation. We aimed to summarize the current knowledge on contrast agents incorporated into synthetic polymers in the context of implantable medical devices. While a single review was found that discussed radiopacity in polymeric biomaterials, the publication is outdated and does not address contemporary polymers employed in implant applications. Our review provides an up-to-date overview of contrast agents incorporated into synthetic medical polymers, encompassing both temporary and permanent implants. We expect that our results will significantly inform and guide the strategic selection of contrast agents, considering the specific requirements of implantable polymeric medical devices.

Abstract
Considering the increasing use of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure, the relationship of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) with post-TAVI mortality has become important. The Mehran score was developed to detect the risk of CIN development after cardiac intervention. We aimed to compare the role of the modified Mehran score, which can be calculated pre-procedure, in predicting CIN development and compare it with the original Mehran score. We retrospectively collected data from TAVI procedures at our institution between December 2016 and June 2021; of 171 patients, 44 (25.7%) had CIN. We found no association between contrast media volume and CIN (387 ± 120 vs 418 ± 139 mL, P = .303). High and very high modified Mehran score and preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) level were independent risk factors for CIN development after TAVI procedure. The area under curve (AUC) was .686 with 95% CI: .591-.780 and P < .001, and also, with a cut-off point of >7.5 points, there was 79.5% sensitivity and 63.0% specificity; otherwise, with a cut-off point of >9.5 points, there was 54.5% sensitivity and 71.7% specificity, for the modified Mehran score. The modified Mehran score comes into prominence compared with the original Mehran score since it can be calculated pre-procedure.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of using statins and ascorbic acid for the prevention of post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) in patients undergoing urologic diagnostic elective contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT). METHODS This registered trial (NCT03391830) was for statin naïve patients underwent elective CECT. Patients were randomized allocated to two groups: the first group received atorvastatin 80-mg the day before the study and atorvastatin 40-mg two hours before the CECT and for continue on atorvastatin 40-mg two days after CECT; plus ascorbic acid 500 mg with atorvastatin. The other group received two tablets of placebo once/daily before the procedure and for another 3 days. The primary outcome was to assess the incidence PC-AKI. RESULTS The baseline parameters were comparable between both groups. The final median (interquartile range "IQR") serum creatinine were 0.80 (0.60, 1.00) and 0.80 (0.60, 1.00), respectively, with insignificant p-value (p = 0.8). The median (IQR) final estimated GFR were 95.2 (72.8, 108.1) and 88.6 (71.9, 111.0) mL/min in placebo and statin plus ascorbic acid groups, respectively (p = 0.48). The eGFR difference median (IQR) were - 6.46 (- 11.72, - 4.18) and - 6.57 (- 13.38, - 3.82) ml/min in placebo and statin plus ascorbic acid groups, respectively (p = 0.58). PC-AKI occurred in 11 patients (9.8%) in placebo group and in 3 patients (3%) in statin plus ascorbic acid group (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Statin and ascorbic acid did not statistically improve neither serum creatinine nor eGFR values in patient underwent CECT. However, it can decrease the incidence of the clinically insignificant PC-AKI.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, in patients with diabetes who undergo coronary angiography (CAG). It is known that serum C-peptide has renoprotective effects in diabetic nephropathy. Patients with diabetes (n = 552) who underwent CAG in our center between January 2020 and December 2021 were included, retrospectively. The patients were divided into 2 groups: not-developing CIN (group 1) and developing CIN (group 2). CIN developed in 128 (23.1%) of the patients with diabetes who underwent CAG. C-peptide, albumin, hemoglobin, hematocrit, initial creatinine, ejection fraction (EF), were significantly lower in the group that developed CIN compared with the group that did not (P < .05, for all). In correlation analysis, creatinine increase rate (ΔCr) was negatively correlated with C-peptide, hematocrit, and ejection fraction (r = -.241, P < .001; r = -.135, P < .001; r = -.194, P = .001; respectively). In logistic regression analysis, C-peptide level (Odds Ratio: .404, 95% Confidence Interval: .286-.571, P < .001) was an independent predictor of CIN. In the present study, C-peptide level was an independent predictor of CIN in patients with diabetes. This study suggests that low levels of C-peptide are associated with a greater risk of CIN.

Abstract
PURPOSE Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired AKI. However, there is a paucity of efficacious interventions for the management of CI-AKI. Here, we aim to investigate the effects of JQ1 in CI-AKI and provide theoretical data and a foundation for novel ideas for the clinical treatment of CI-AKI. METHODS In this study, we performed in vivo and in vitro experiments with mice and HK2 cells injury models respectively. The levels of serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were determined by an automatic analyzer for the measurements of renal function. The viability of HK-2 cells was analyzed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) kit. Additionally, the kidney changes in the mice were detected using histopathology (H&E) and immunofluorescent staining. The mRNA and protein expressions were assessed using Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot, respectively. Autophagy and apoptosis was analyzed by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and TUNEL assay respectively. RESULTS The results demonstrated that JQ1 exhibited potency of attenuating CI-AKI in mouse and HK2 cells. JQ1 increased the expression levels of Atg5, Atg7 and LC3B-II, and decreased the protein levels of p62 in the kidney and HK-2 cells. However, the combined use of JQ1 with chloroquine reversed the effects of JQ1. JQ1 also inhibited the inflammatory cells and downregulated the expression of some inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-γ). CONCLUSION JQ1 protects against CI-AKI by promoting autophagy and inhibiting inflammation and JQ1 may be a promising therapeutic strategy for CI-AKI.

Abstract
Radiological and interventional cardiology procedures are in continuous expansion, leading to an important increase in the incidence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI). Although numerous methods of CA-AKI prevention have been studied, at present, there is no consensus on the definition of this entity or on its prevention. In this paper, we aim to provide a critical analysis of the existing data on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical significance of CA-AKI. Existing and emergent approaches for CA-AKI prevention are also discussed, with a focus on parenteral fluid administration and on the most recent clinical and experimental data. We also emphasize a number of questions that remain to be answered, and we identify hotspots for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoluminal interventions have become one of the main options for the treatment of arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO). OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of hydration therapy and nursing intervention on the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after interventional treatment of lower extremity ASO. METHODS A convenience sampling method was used to select 94 patients who received ASO treatment in our hospital from March 2019 to May 2021 as the study subjects. All patients underwent endovascular interventional therapy and were randomly divided into two groups by the random number table method, with odd numbers entering the observation group (n= 47) and even numbers entering the control group (n= 47). The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the observation group underwent hydration therapy and had a corresponding nursing intervention scheme. The clinical efficacy of the two groups and the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy after interventional therapy were compared, and an evaluation of satisfaction within the two groups was performed via a questionnaire. RESULTS The total effective rate of patients in the observation group was higher after hydration treatment (97.87% vs 87.23%, p< 0.05). The blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and β2 microglobulin levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group after the intervention (p< 0.05). Patients in the observation group had higher nursing satisfaction after using preventive measures of hydration therapy combined with nursing interventions (100% vs 89.36%, p< 0.05). CONCLUSION Hydration therapy and nursing intervention can effectively prevent CIN after interventional treatment of lower extremity ASO. After interventional therapy, patients had better clinical outcomes, lower biochemical indexes and improved satisfaction evaluations. The therapy is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the relationship of either hemoglobin or red blood cell distribution width (RDW) with contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has been reported individually. To date, no studies have evaluated the predictive value of hemoglobin-to-red blood cell distribution width ratio (HRR) for CIN. METHODS A total of 1658 elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were retrospectively screened. Preoperative complete blood count was collected and the HRR was calculated as the ratio of hemoglobin to RDW. CIN was defined as an absolute ≥0.5 mg/dL (44.2 μmol/L) or a relative ≥25% increase in creatinine level at 72 h after contrast administration. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis were conducted to determine the effective predictors for CIN. The ROC curve analysis was plotted to determine the optimal cutoff value for HRR in predicting CIN. RESULTS The overall incidence of CIN was 8.38%. The HRR was significantly lower in the CIN group compared with the non-CIN group (0.87 ± 0.15 vs 1.24 ± 0.23, p < 0.001). After multivariate regression analysis was performed, HRR was noted to be an effective predictor for the development of CIN (OR 1.617, 95% CI 1.439-2.706, p = 0.014), along with age, creatinine, eGFR, hs-CRP and contrast volume. An optimal cutoff value of 0.94 or lower for HRR was identified with 82.4% sensitivity and 63.5% specificity to predict CIN. CONCLUSION Lower HRR on admission was an effective predictor for CIN in elderly patients with STEMI undergoing emergency PCI. HRR may be a convenient, economical and reliable biomarker for risk stratification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the feared complications of contrast medium-using procedures. Present study was conducted in order to evaluate the value of systemic inflammatory-response index (SIRI) for development of CIN among patients who underwent primary percutaneous intervention. METHODS Six hundred seventy-six patients with the diagnosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction were included. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of CIN. Patients without (n = 530) and with (n = 146) CIN constituted group 0 and group 1, respectively. Clinical and biochemical features of the patients were recorded. Calculation of SIRI was made for each patient. RESULT CIN patients were older, had higher prevalence of hyperlipidaemia, higher values of pre- and post-procedural creatinine levels, neutrophil and monocyte counts, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and SIRI. They had lower values of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), haemoglobin and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels. SIRI had the highest area under the curve (AUC) for prediction of CIN. Pairwise analyses of the AUC's demonstrated that SIRI had statistically significantly higher AUC compared to NLR and MLR. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that besides from LVEF and pre-procedural creatinine, NLR and SIRI were the independent predictors of CIN. SIRI had a higher odds ratio compared to NLR. CONCLUSION SIRI had greater diagnostic power than NLR and MLR and it can easily be used by physicians for the identification of high-risk patients for the occurrence of CIN.

Abstract
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death. In addition to chest X-rays and computerised tomography, the detection of cancer biomarkers serves as an emerging diagnostic tool for lung cancer. This review explores biomarkers including the rat sarcoma gene, the tumour protein 53 gene, the epidermal growth factor receptor, the neuron-specific enolase, the cytokeratin-19 fragment 21-1 and carcinoembryonic antigen as potential indicators of lung cancer. Biosensors, which utilise various transduction techniques, present a promising solution for the detection of lung cancer biomarkers. Therefore, this review also explores the working principles and recent implementations of transducers in the detection of lung cancer biomarkers. The transducing techniques explored include optical techniques, electrochemical techniques and mass-based techniques for detecting biomarkers and cancer-related volatile organic compounds. Graphene has outstanding properties in terms of charge transfer, surface area, thermal conductivity and optical characteristics, on top of allowing easy incorporation of other nanomaterials. Exploiting the collective merits of both graphene and biosensor is an emerging trend, as evidenced by the growing number of studies on graphene-based biosensors for the detection of lung cancer biomarkers. This work provides a comprehensive review of these studies, including information on modification schemes, nanomaterials, amplification strategies, real sample applications, and sensor performance. The paper concludes with a discussion of the challenges and future outlook of lung cancer biosensors, including scalable graphene synthesis, multi-biomarker detection, portability, miniaturisation, financial support, and commercialisation.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1235023. [PMID: 37790125 PMCID: PMC10543416 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1235023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The effectiveness of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in treating contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has been the subject of conflicting meta-analyses, but the strength of the evidence for these correlations between NAC use and CIN has not been measured overall. Objective To evaluate the data from randomized clinical studies (RCTs) that examined the relationships between NAC use and CIN in meta-analyses. Methods Between the creation of the database and April 2023, searches were made in PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science. N-acetylcysteine, contrast-induced nephropathy, or contrast-induced renal disease were among the search keywords used, along with terms including systematic review and meta-analysis. The Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews, version 2, which assigned grades of extremely low, low, moderate, or high quality to each meta-analysis's scientific quality, was used to evaluate each meta-analysis. The confidence of the evidence in meta-analyses of RCTs was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluations method, with evidence being rated as very low, low, moderate, or high. Results In total, 493 records were screened; of those, 46 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 12 articles were selected for evidence synthesis as a result of the screening process. Based on the pooled data, which was graded as moderate-quality evidence, it can be concluded that NAC can decrease CIN (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.65-0.79, p < 0.00001) and blood levels of serum creatinine (MD -0.09, 95% CI -0.17 to -0.01, p = 0.03). In spite of this, there were no associations between NAC and dialysis requirement or mortality in these studies. Conclusion The results of this umbrella review supported that the renal results were enhanced by NAC. The association was supported by moderate-quality evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Development of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, hospital length of stay, and overall health care costs. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this project was to evaluate a clinical practice change-the addition of high-dose statin therapy to standard renal protection measures-in adults undergoing acute cardiac catheterization procedures and assessing its effect on CI-AKI. METHOD The evaluation was a pretest/posttest descriptive design. Adult patients undergoing acute cardiac catheterization procedures were evaluated for the rate of CI-AKI before (10 months preimplementation, N = 283) and after (10 months postimplementation, N = 286) a recent practice change that added high-dose statin therapy (within 24 hours of dye exposure) to a standard renal protection bundle (intravenous fluids, maximum dye calculations, and avoidance of nephrotoxic medications). Outcomes included the rate of CI-AKI, stage of acute kidney injury, need for new hemodialysis, discharge disposition (alive or died in the hospital), and hospital length of stay. RESULTS Patients in the postintervention group that received renal protection bundle with high-dose statin had significantly lower incidence of CI-AKI (10.1% pre vs 3.2% post; P < .001). There were no significant differences in hospital length of stay, need for new hemodialysis, or mortality. Administration of high-dose statin within 24 hours of the cardiac catheterization procedure improved significantly (19.4% pre vs 74.1% post; P < .001). Adherence to all 5 components of the renal bundle improved post intervention (17% pre vs 73.4% post; P < .001). DISCUSSION The addition of a high-dose statin in addition to existing renal protective measures in patients with acute cardiac procedures is associated with a decreased incidence of CI-AKI.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The third most frequent reason for hospitalized acute kidney injury is contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary angiography (CAG) are two interventions that can result in CIN. In this study, we sought to determine how well gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) can predict CIN following CAG and PCI. METHOD Two researchers searched through PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science in November 2022 to find articles that examined GGT levels in CIN patients following PCI or CAG. To rate the quality of the studies, the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist was employed. The Cochran test and I2 statistics were utilized to assess study heterogeneity. To calculate the number of participants required to reject the null hypothesis, power analysis was used. We evaluated the epidemiologic strength of the results using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). The authors used Comprehensive Meta-analysis Version 3 to summarize the results. RESULTS GGT was shown to be considerably greater in patients with CIN according to the meta-analysis's findings (odds ratio: 3.21, 95% CI: 1.26-8.15, P=0.014); nevertheless, the findings were accompanied by significant heterogeneity (I2=91.93%, P<0.001). Although the relationship between CIN and GGT was power full regarding power analysis (1- β =1, number of effect sizes=4, the average number per group=336), very low quality of evidence was observed regarding GRADE criteria. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest the GGT level may be a predictor of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients having cardiac catheterization; however, more research is required to prove the epidemiological validity.

Abstract
The use of conventional contrast media for diagnostic purposes (in particular, Gd-containing and iodinated agents) causes a large number of complications, the most common of which is contrast-induced nephropathy. It has been shown that after exposure to contrast agents, oxidative stress often occurs in patients, especially in people suffering from various diseases. Antioxidants in the human body can diminish the pathological consequences of the use of contrast media by suppressing oxidative stress. This review considers the research studies on the role of antioxidants in preventing the negative consequences of the use of contrast agents in diagnostics (mainly contrast-induced nephropathy) and the clinical trials of different antioxidant drugs against contrast-induced nephropathy. Composite antioxidant/contrast systems as theranostic agents are also considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Chromodiscography is an integral part of full-endoscopic discectomy (FED), comprising ordinary discography with radiopacity produced by contrast medium and intradiscal stain for visualizing annular defects in the endoscopic field. Nevertheless, concerns remain about the cytotoxicity of the stains used. The study of their staining efficacy is also lacking. PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of methylene blue, patent blue, and indigo carmine for intradiscal injection, investigate the effectiveness of each dye, and define critical concentration with adequate staining efficacy and tolerable cytotoxicity for use in chromodiscography during FED. STUDY DESIGN An experimental in vitro study. METHODS Dye stock solutions were prepared from powder. The stock was diluted with culture medium or balanced saline and used for cytotoxicity or intervertebral disc staining assays, respectively. Bovine tails were obtained from the local slaughterhouse and functional spine units of intervertebral discs were acquired by transverse incision at the disc level. Each disc was punctured over the posterolateral aspect using a surgical knife to simulate an annular defect. The intradiscal injection was performed with each dye at different concentrations using a 22G needle from the contralateral aspect of the punctured site. Staining efficacy was quantified using ImageJ software. Primary cells of bovine tails were cultivated in each dye at different concentrations. Cytotoxicity was assessed 24 hours after stain exposure using the CCK-8 toxicity assay. RESULTS Staining efficacy and cytotoxicity were proportional to the concentration of tested dyes. Lower limits of concentration producing significant staining efficacy of indigo carmine, methylene blue, and patent blue were 0.25 mg/mL, 0.25 mg/mL, and 0.05 mg/mL, respectively. Compared with controls, concentrations showing significant toxicity for indigo carmine, methylene blue, and patient blue were 1 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL, and 2.5 mg/mL, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Patent blue can serve as a more suitable tissue stain than either indigo carmine or methylene blue due to the widest range of tradeoff concentration within 0.05 to 2.5 mg/mL. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Patent blue with the characteristic of good staining efficacy and lower cytotoxicity may be a promising option for chromodiscography during FED.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydration is currently the main measure to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). We aimed to compare the preventive effect of preprocedure and postprocedure hydration on CIN in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A retrospective study included 198 cases of postprocedure hydration and 396 cases of preprocedure hydration using propensity score matching. The incidence of CIN 48 h after PCI and adverse events within 30 days after contrast media exposure were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the risk factors for CIN. RESULTS The incidence of CIN in the postprocedure hydration group was 3.54%, while that in the preprocedure hydration group was 4.8%. There was no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.478). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus, baseline BNP and cystatin C levels, and contrast agent dosage were independent risk factors for CIN. There was no significant difference in the incidence of major adverse events between the two groups (3.03% vs. 2.02%, p = 0.830). CONCLUSIONS Postprocedure hydration is equally effective compared to preoperative hydration in the prevention of CIN in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing elective PCI.

Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is manifested by an abrupt decline in kidney function as a consequence of intravascular exposure to contrast media. With the increased applicability of medical imaging and interventional procedures that utilize contrast media for clinical diagnosis, CI-AKI is becoming the leading cause of renal dysfunction. The pathophysiological mechanism associated with CI-AKI involves renal medullary hypoxia, the direct toxicity of contrast agents, oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and epigenetic regulation. To date, there is no effective therapy for CI-AKI, except for the development of strategies that could reduce the toxicity profiles of contrast media. While most of these strategies have failed, evidence has shown that the proper use of personalized hydration, contrast medium, and high-dose statins may reduce the occurrence of CI-AKI. However, adequate risk predication and attempts to develop preventive strategies can be considered as the key determinants that can help eliminate CI-AKI. Additionally, a deeper understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of CI-AKI is crucial to uncover molecular targets for the prevention of CI-AKI. This review has taken a step further to solidify the current known molecular mechanisms of CI-AKI and elaborate the biomarkers that are used to detect early-stage CI-AKI. On this foundation, this review will analyze the molecular targets relating to apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and epigenetics, and, thus, provide a strong rationale for therapeutic intervention in the prevention of CI-AKI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative renal function decline is a major concern for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR). Diluting contrast medium in the power injector may be helpful in reducing the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy, but it can also blur fluoroscopic vision during surgery. The quality of the current evidence is very low; thus, this study is designed to investigate the effect of contrast dilution in the power injector on renal function changes in patients after endovascular aortic repair. METHOD AND ANALYSIS The study is a prospective, single-blind, parallel, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial with two independent cohorts: Cohort TEVAR and EVAR. Individuals will enter the appropriate cohort based on clinical interviews if they meet the eligibility criteria. Participants in Cohort TEVAR and EVAR will be randomly allocated to the intervention group (diluting contrast medium to 50% in the power injector) and control group (pure contrast medium in the power injector) separately in a 1:1 ratio. The primary study points consist of the proportion of patients who develop acute kidney injury within 48 hours after TEAVR or EVAR (first stage) and freedom of major adverse kidney events at 12 months after TEAVR or EVAR (second stage). The safety endpoint is freedom of all types of endoleaks at 30 days after TEVAR or EVAR. Follow-up will be conducted at 30 days and 12 months after intervention. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The trial was approved by the Ethics Committee on Biomedical Research, West China Hospital of Sichuan University (approval number: 20201290). The results of the study will be disseminated through publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at academic conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100042555).

Abstract
To date, imaging-guided multimodality therapy is important to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of renal fibrosis, and nanoplatforms for imaging-guided multimodality diagnosis are gaining more and more attention. There are many limitations and deficiencies in clinical use for early-stage diagnosis of renal fibrosis, and multimodal imaging can contribute more thoroughly and provide in-detail information for effective clinical diagnosis. Melanin is an endogenous biomaterial, and we developed an ultrasmall particle size melanin nanoprobe (MNP-PEG-Mn) based on photoacoustic (PA) and magnetic resonance (MR) dual-modal imaging. MNP-PEG-Mn nanoprobe, with the average diameter about 2.7 nm, can be passively targeted for accumulation in the kidney, and it has excellent free radical scavenging and antioxidant abilities without further exacerbating renal fibrosis. Using the normal group signal as a control, the dual-modal imaging results showed that the MR imaging (MAI) and PA imaging (PAI) signals reached the strongest at 6 h when MNP-PEG-Mn entered the 7 day renal fibrosis group via the left vein of the tail end of the mice; however, the strength of the dual-modal imaging signal and the gradient of signal change were significantly weaker in the 28 day renal fibrosis group than in the 7 day renal fibrosis group and normal group. The phenomenon preliminarily indicates that as a PAI/MRI dual-modality contrast medium candidate, MNP-PEG-Mn has outstanding ability in clinical application potential.

Abstract
Melatonin is a neurohormone that is mainly secreted by the pineal gland. It coordinates the work of the superior biological clock and consequently affects many processes in the human body. Disorders of the waking and sleeping period result in nervous system imbalance and generate metabolic and endocrine derangements. The purpose of this review is to provide information regarding the potential benefits of melatonin use, particularly in kidney diseases. The impact on the cardiovascular system, diabetes, and homeostasis causes melatonin to be indirectly connected to kidney function and quality of life in people with chronic kidney disease. Moreover, there are numerous reports showing that melatonin plays a role as an antioxidant, free radical scavenger, and cytoprotective agent. This means that the supplementation of melatonin can be helpful in almost every type of kidney injury because inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress occur, regardless of the mechanism. The administration of melatonin has a renoprotective effect and inhibits the progression of complications connected to renal failure. It is very important that exogenous melatonin supplementation is well tolerated and that the number of side effects caused by this type of treatment is low.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Percutaneous procedures using contrast agents are modern diagnosis and treatment methods for cardiovascular diseases. Contrast use may cause nephropathy, especially in diabetic patients. SGLT2 inhibitors have strong cardioprotective and renal protective effects. In our study, we investigated the effectiveness of this drug group in preventing the development of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN). Materials and Methods: The results of 312 diabetic patients who underwent CAG were analyzed. The study group included 104 DM patients using SGLT2 and the control group did not use SGLT2. These groups were compared with each other in terms of clinical, demographic, and laboratory parameters. Results: The groups were similar characteristics. However, post-CAG creatinine values compared with before the procedure, the development of CIN was observed to be significantly less in the group using SGLT2 inhibitor (p = 0.03). When the results of the multivariate analysis were examined, it was seen that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced the risk of CIN (odds ratio (OR): 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0,142-0.966, p = 0.004). Conclusions: Our study showed that SGLT2 inhibitors may be protective against the development of CIN, especially in patients with comorbid conditions such as diabetes.

Abstract
Aim This retrospective cohort study focused on evaluating the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) associated with administration of an atorvastatin loading dose (80 mg) prior to invasive coronary angiography (CAG) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Material and methods This retrospective cohort study included 386 patients with STEMI. The patients were divided into two groups: intervention group (n=118) and control group (n=268). Patients in the intervention group, at the stage of admission to the catheterization laboratory, were administered a loading dose of atorvastatin (80 mg, p.o.) immediately before access (introducer placement). The endpoints were development of CIN, which was determined by increased serum creatinine 48 h following the intervention by at least 25% (or 44 µmol/l) of baseline value. In addition, in-hospital mortality and incidence of CIN resolution were assessed. To adjust the groups for dissimilar characteristics, a "pseudorandomization" method was used by comparing propensity scores.Results The incidence of CIN was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (10.5 % vs. 24.4 %; p=0.016) with the odds for the CIN development lower than in the control group (odds ratio (OR) 0.36; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 0.16-0.85). Creatinine concentrations returned to the baseline value in 7 days more frequently than in the control group (66.3 % vs. 50.6 %, respectively; OR, 1.92; 95 % CI, 1.04-3.56; p=0.037). In-hospital mortality was higher in the control group but did not differ significantly between the groups.Conclusion ~Administration of atorvastatin 80 mg to STEMI patients immediately before CAG was associated with a reduced risk of CIN and a higher likelihood of serum creatinine returning to the values at admission by day 7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is defined as worsening renal function, represented by an increase in serum creatinine of ≥ 25% or ≥ 0.5 mg/dL up to 72 h after exposure to iodinated contrast medium (ICM). The most effective preventive measure to date is intravenous hydration (IVH). Little is known about the effectiveness of outpatient oral hydration (OH). OBJETIVE To investigate whether outpatient OH with water is as effective as IVH with 0.9% saline solution in preventing CIN in elective coronary procedures. METHODS In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed the medical records and laboratory data of individuals undergoing percutaneous coronary procedures with ICM. Data collected between 2012 and 2015 refer to individuals who underwent IVH and those collected between 2016 and 2020 (after implementation of an OH protocol) correspond to individuals who underwent OH at home before and after coronary procedures as instructed by the nursing team. Statistical significance was established at α = 0.05. RESULTS In total, 116 patients were included in this study: 58 in the IVH group and 58 in the OH group. An incidence of CIN of 15% (9/58) was observed in the group that received IVH and an incidence of 12% (7/58) was seen in the group that received OH (p = 0.68). CONCLUSION The OH protocol, performed by the patient, appears to be as effective as the in-hospital IVH protocol for the renal protection of individuals susceptible to CIN in elective coronary interventions. These findings should be put to test in larger trials.

Abstract
The relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with acute coronary syndrome has been reported. However, the relevance of CAR in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) has not been clarified. We hypothesized that CAR might predict the development of CIN in patients with SAP undergoing coronary angiography (CAG). Patients (n = 554) with SAP who underwent CAG were included in the study. CIN was defined as a ≥25% increase in serum creatinine compared with baseline value within 72 h of CAG. Participants were divided into two groups: CIN (n = 87) and non-CIN (n = 467). Age, CRP, CAR, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), urea, uric acid, contrast medium volume, the percent of percutaneous coronary intervention were significantly greater, whereas albumin and high-density lipoprotein were significantly lower in the CIN group than non-CIN group (p < .05, for all). Multivariate analysis showed that CAR was the only independent predictor for CIN (odds ratio = 7.065, 95% confidence interval (CI); 3.279-15.221, p < .001). Receiver operating characteristic ROC analysis showed that a CAR ≥ 0.1164 could predict CIN (sensitivity of 71% and specificity of 72%; area under curve = 0.736; 95% CI: 0.677-0.795, p < .001). CAR was significantly greater in patients who developed CIN and this independently predicted CIN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the crosstalk between baseline or visit hemoglobin and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients and to construct risk stratification models to predict MACCE amongst these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort in patients undergoing PCI procedures at Beijing Friendship Hospital between January 2013 and December 2020. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were employed for data analyses. The composite MACCE was the primary endpoint and we used machine learning algorithms to evaluate risk factors associated with MACCE. Model performance was measured using Brier scores and receiver-operating characteristic curves. The association between risk factors and MACCE probability was examined using partial dependency plots. RESULTS 8,298 PCI-treated patients were enrolled in the study. 1,919 of these patients had anemia. During a four-year median follow-up period, 1,636 patients (19.71%) had MACCE. The visit hemoglobin and hemoglobin change was associated with higher risk of MACCE respectively (visit hemoglobin: hazard ratio [HR]: 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.98-0.99; p < 0.001; hemoglobin change: HR: 0.99; 95%CI: 0.98-0.99; p < 0.001). Gradient Boosting (GB) was the BPM, with a mean C-statistic value of 0.78 (95% CI: 0.76-0.80) for predicting MACCE (Brier score: 0.26). The best indicator for MACCE was a low estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] (71 mL/min/1.73m2) at admission, followed by a high serum HbA1c (6.6%) level. A simple risk tree successfully classified patients (17-40.5%) with increased risks of MACCE. The high- vs. low-risk HR for MACCE was 2.04 (95% CI: 1.48-2.82). CONCLUSIONS Visit hemoglobin and long-term hemoglobin changes were more predictive of MACCE risk than baseline hemoglobin levels. Our findings indicated that increasing hemoglobin levels might improve the long-term prognosis of anemia patients. We established a new risk stratification model for MACCE, which may more efficiently prioritize targeted screening for at-risk anemic patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Background Iodixanol-induced anaphylactic reaction is a well-known adverse event of contrast agents, which are generally well-tolerated and reversible. Serious and fatal reactions such as anaphylactic shock after computed tomography (CT) enhancement have been described. However, there is no data on these events in the literature. Objective This report describes a case of a serious anaphylactic reaction, possibly related to iodixanol and provides an overview of case reports. Case Summary A 47-year-old women who experienced persistent abdominal pain for more than one month, was proposed of hiatal hernia with CT images taken two weeks previously and was admitted to the gastrointestinal surgery department. The patient underwent contrast-enhanced abdominal CT for the evaluation of multiple intraperitoneal hemodynamic features. A few minutes after abdominal enhanced CT scan, the patient was pale, sweating, had muscle tension and trembling, even coma and profound hypotension with 90/43 mm Hg. Immediately she was supported with oxygen inhalation, was treated with adrenaline subcutaneously, dexamethasone intravenously, and rapid intravenous drip of compound sodium chloride. Ten minutes later, the patient was in respiratory and cardiac arrest and the pupils were dilated. CPR and intermittant static push of 1 mg adrenaline were immediately carried. After endotracheal intubation, the patient's spontaneous heart rate and pupils recovered, and her blood pressure recovered to 105/53 mm Hg. It was suggested that the patient was suffering from iodixanol-induced anaphylactic shock and nephropathy, and she was transferred to the intensive care unit. Despite immediate treatment, the patient died. Conclusion A 47-year-old female patient with no history of allergies developed severe fatal anaphylactic shock after receiving iodixanol. Although contrast agents induced anaphylactoid/anaphylactic reactions do not often occur, clinicians should be conscious of the potentially serious anaphylactic reaction, which could lead to a life-threatening or fatal event.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with adverse events. As there are no effective treatments, the early identification of high-risk patients is required. Individual studies have suggested the utility of brain natriuretic peptide in predicting CIN. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to systematically investigate the value of brain natriuretic peptide in predicting CIN in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials Library, and Web of Science from inception date to March 9, 2022. Studies that evaluated the predictive value of brain natriuretic peptide for CIN outcomes in patients after CAG or PCI were included. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. Diagnostic accuracy estimates were calculated using a random-effects model. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were performed to identify the potential sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS Twelve studies with 7789 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of brain natriuretic peptide for the prediction of CIN were 0.73 (95% CI: 0.67-0.78) and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.71-0.82), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.80 (95% CI: 0.77-0.84). Meta-regression analysis indicated that the sources of sensitivity heterogeneity may be the country, mean age, and study population. Additionally, country, study population, study design, and index text contributed to the specificity heterogeneity. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that brain natriuretic peptide could function as a novel potential marker for the early detection of CIN in patients undergoing CAG or PCI.

Elevated Serum Uric Acid/Albumin Ratio as a Predictor of Post-Contrast Acute Kidney Injury After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction. J Inflamm Res 2022; 15:5361-5371. [PMID: 36131782 PMCID: PMC9484828 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s377767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The serum uric acid/albumin ratio (sUAR), a novel inflammatory marker, effectively predicts acute kidney injury (AKI) and cardiovascular outcomes. However, whether the sUAR predicts post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains uncertain. In this study, we evaluated the association between the sUAR and PC-AKI in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI. Methods We consecutively recruited patients with STEMI who underwent PCI and stratified them into three groups according to the terciles of the sUAR. The primary outcome was the incidence of PC-AKI. The association between the sUAR and PC-AKI was assessed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 2861 patients with STEMI were included in this study. The incidence of PC-AKI increased stepwise with increasing sUAR tercile (2.6% vs 4.0% vs 11.6%, p < 0.001), and the incidence of in-hospital major adverse clinical events (MACEs) was highest among patients in the Q3 group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the sUAR was also an independent predictor of PC-AKI (continuous sUAR, per 1-unit increase, odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval (CI)]: 1.06 [1.02–1.10], p = 0.005; tercile of sUAR, OR [95% CI] for Q2 and Q3: 1.18 [0.69–2.01] and 1.85 [1.12–3.06], respectively, with Q1 as a reference) but not in-hospital MACEs. In the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) of the sUAR for predicting PC-AKI was 0.708 (95% CI: 0.666–0.751), and ROC analysis also showed that the sUAR was superior to uric acid and albumin alone in predicting PC-AKI. Conclusion Increasing sUAR was significantly associated with a higher risk of PC-AKI but not in-hospital MACEs in patients with STEMI who underwent PCI, suggesting that sUAR had a predictive value for PC-AKI after PCI in patients with STEMI. Further studies are required to confirm this finding.

Effects of Genistein on Common Kidney Diseases. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14183768. [PMID: 36145144 PMCID: PMC9506319 DOI: 10.3390/nu14183768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Genistein is a naturally occurring phytoestrogen (soy or soybean products) that is classified as an isoflavone, and its structure is similar to that of endogenous estrogens; therefore, genistein can exert an estrogen-like effect via estrogen receptors. Additionally, genistein is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which enables it to block abnormal cell growth and proliferation signals through the inhibition of tyrosine kinase. Genistein is also an angiogenesis inhibitor and an antioxidant. Genistein has effects on kidney cells, some of the kidney’s physiological functions, and a variety of kidney diseases. First, genistein exerts a protective effect on normal cells by reducing the inflammatory response, inhibiting apoptosis, inhibiting oxidative stress, inhibiting remodeling, etc., but after cell injury, the protective effect of genistein decreases or even has the opposite effect. Second, genistein can regulate renin intake to maintain blood pressure balance, regulate calcium uptake to regulate Ca2+ and Pi balances, and reduce vasodilation to promote diuresis. Third, genistein has beneficial effects on a variety of kidney diseases (including acute kidney disease, kidney cancer, and different chronic kidney diseases), such as reducing symptoms, delaying disease progression, and improving prognosis. Therefore, this paper reviews animal and human studies on the protective effects of genistein on the kidney in vivo and in vitro to provide a reference for clinical research in the future.

Salvianolic Acid B Attenuates Iopromide-Induced Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Injury by Inhibiting the TLR4/NF- κB/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:8400496. [PMID: 35795279 PMCID: PMC9251145 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8400496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Postcontrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) is directly caused by the use of contrast, indicating a clear causal relationship between the contrast and the injury. Salvianolic acid B (Sal B), a water-soluble compound of Salvia miltiorrhiza, has a potent anti-inflammatory effect. We conducted a study to explore whether the protective effect of Sal B on iopromide-induced injury in human proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) is related to inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signal pathway. The results showed that 100 μmol/L Sal B counteracted the decrease in cell viability, the increase of ROS and the number of apoptotic cells, and the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) induced by iopromide. Molecular docking analysis showed that Sal B binds TLR4 and NLRP3 proteins. Moreover, 100 μmol/L Sal B also decreased the expression of TLR4, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-18, IL-1β, TNF-α, p-NF-κB, cleaved caspase-3, and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 induced by iopromide. TAK-242, a TLR4 antagonist, was added to further explore the mechanism of Sal B. However, the cotreatment group with TAK-242 and Sal B had no significant difference in cell viability and apoptosis rate compared to the treatment group with TAK-242 or Sal B alone. These results indicated that Sal B can inhibit the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signal pathway, resulting in the alleviation of iopromide-induced HK-2 cell injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) remains a dreaded complication in the cardiac diagnostic and interventional area. We investigated the relationship between red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio (RAR) and CIN in elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 1532 elderly patients were enrolled and divided into the CIN group and the non-CIN group. The risk factors of CIN were evaluated by univariate and multivariate regression analysis. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to identify the best predictive value. RESULTS CIN occurred in 129 (8.42%) patients. Patients in the CIN group had significantly higher RAR than those in the non-CIN group (4.69 ± 0.73 vs. 3.18 ± 0.64, P < 0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, RAR was an independent risk factor for the development of CIN (OR: 1.506, 95% CI: 1.227-2.083, P = 0.025), along with age, creatinine, eGFR, hs-CRP and contrast agent dose. The AUC of RAR was 0.755 (95% CI 0.703-0.807), and an optimal cutoff value of 3.64 or higher predicted CIN with a sensitivity of 76.2% and specificity of 65.7%. CONCLUSION As a combined inflammatory-related index, RAR was an independent risk factor for the development of CIN in elderly patients with STEMI undergoing emergency PCI. The RAR could be a simple but relatively reliable parameter for identifying high-risk patients.

Abstract
This study investigated the role of atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in predicting contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention due to non-ST elevated myocardial infarction. Of these, 1644 patients were included in the study. Retrospective data of patients were obtained from hospital records. For the diagnosis of CIN, peri-procedural patient records were scanned. There was a significant difference between age, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, albumin, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, number of stenotic vessels, creatinine increase rate, baseline creatinine, hemoglobin, hematocrit, AIP, and two groups (CIN- and CIN+) (P < .05, for all). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, AIP was an independent predictor of CIN (odds ratio: 20.352, 95% CI: 12.696-32.624, P < .001). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that AIP values of ≥.62 could predict CIN with a sensitivity of 70% and specificity of 58% for predicting CIN (area under curve = .710, P < .001). Atherogenic index of plasma may be helpful as a biomarker to predict CIN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), derived from counts of neutrophil, platelet and lymphocyte, have been developed to predict clinical outcomes in several cancers and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of SII to predict contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 632 patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI were retrospectively included. The patients divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of CIN. Baseline demographic, laboratory and clinic characteristics were evaluated between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of CIN. RESULTS The receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated that the optimal cut-off value of SII for predicting CIN was 1282 with a sensitivity 76.1% and specificity 86.7% (AUC: 0.834; 95% CI 0.803-0.863; p<0.001). Multivariate analysis performed in two models (SII; as separate continuous and categorical variables) showed age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), diabetes, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), Killip class ≥2, use of intravenous diuretic, Troponin I, and SII as independent predictors of CIN in Model 1. In Model 2, age, eGFR, diabetes, LVEF, Killip class ≥2, use of intravenous diuretic, Troponin I, and a value of SII >1282 (p<0.001, OR 6.205, 95% CI 2.301-12.552) remained as independent predictors of CIN. CONCLUSION SII may be a useful and reliable indicator to predict the development of CIN in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI than NLR and PLR.

Abstract
Background Inflammation and immune responses play an important role in the pathophysiology of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) has recently emerged as a new parameter for immune and inflammatory response evaluation. However, limited research has been undertaken to explore the relationship between SII and CA-AKI following coronary angiography (CAG). Patients and Methods From January 2007 to December 2020, 46,333 patients undergoing CAG were included from 5 Chinese tertiary hospitals. SII was calculated as total peripheral platelets count × neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. Patients were categorized by preprocedural SII quartiles: Q1 ≤404.5, Q2 >404.5 and ≤631.7, Q3 >631.7 and ≤1082.8, Q4 >1082.8. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to reveal the link between preprocedural SII and CA-AKI. Results A total of the 46,333 patients (62.9 ± 11.5 years, female 28.1%) were included in the study. The incidence of CA-AKI was 8.4% in Q1 group, 8.7% in Q2 group, 9.4% in Q3 group, 15.1% in Q4 group. In the multivariable model, comparing the highest (Q4 group) to lowest (Q1 group) SII level categories, preprocedural SII was related to a higher risk of CA-AKI after fully adjusting for well-known confounders, and there was no statistically difference in the other two SII level categories (Q2 and Q3 groups) compared with Q1 group (adjusted model 3: Q2 group: OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.87–1.11, P = 0.771; Q3 group: OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 0.92–1.18, P = 0.553; Q4: OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.45–1.88, p < 0.001; P for trend < 0.001). Similar results were found for all the subgroups analysis except for patients undergoing PCI, and the interaction analyses for age, PCI and AMI were significant. In addition, Kaplan–Meier curves demonstrated that the lowest quartile group showed the worst all-cause mortality in a significant SII level-dependent manner among the four groups (Log rank test; p < 0.0001). Conclusion Elevated preprocedural SII level was a significant and independent risk factor for CA-AKI following CAG. Higher-quality prospective studies are needed to validate the predictive value of SII for CA-AKI.

FRONTIERS IN NEPHROLOGY 2022; 2:834513. [PMID: 37675022 PMCID: PMC10479589 DOI: 10.3389/fneph.2022.834513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is increasingly seen in patients receiving contrast medium. Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medik. (Malvaceae) and its preparations are widely used and effective in the treatment of various chronic kidney diseases and CIN in China. It is supposed to be an important adjuvant therapy for CIN. Methods PubMed and CNKI were searched for the main compounds of A. manihot L. The Swiss target prediction platform, OMIM, GeneCards, DisGeNET, and DrugBank databases were mined for information relevant to the prediction of targets that A. manihot L. in the treatment of CIN. Subsequently, STRING database was applied for the construction of the PPI protein interaction network, meanwhile, the core targets were screened. DAVID database was used to perform the GO function and Kegg signal pathway enrichment analysis. AutoDockTools and PYMOAL were used for molecular docking. Vitro experiments were used to verify the effect of TFA, the main active component of A. manihot L., in the intervention of iopromide-induced cells injury. Results A total of 17 chemical components and 133 potential targets in A. manihot L. were obtained. The top 15 proteins with higher degree value were selected from the PPI network model, AKT1, PIK3R1, EGFR, SRC,AR, APP, TNF, GAPDH, MMP9, and PTPN1, etc. may be core targets. The enrichment analysis indicated that A. manihot L. was involved in the regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, VEGF signaling pathway, HIF-1, TNF signaling pathway, melanoma, hepatitis B, and other signaling pathways which were mainly associated with the regulation of transcription and apoptosis, protein phosphorylation, inflammatory response, aging, and cell proliferation. Molecular docking indicated that the key components and core targets had a good binding ability. The vitro experiments illustrated that TFA reduces iopromide induced renal tubular cell injury and apoptosis, which may be related to regulating the phosphorylation of AKT. Conclusion The study preliminarily revealed the multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway synergistic effects of A. manihot L. on CIN, which provide theoretical reference and basis for the study of the pharmacological mechanism of A. manihot L. in the treatment of CIN.
