Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by kidney cyst formation and progressive kidney function loss. Dietary interventions such as caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, and ketogenic diet have recently emerged as potential strategies to induce metabolic reprogramming and slow ADPKD progression. We review the available evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of these interventions in ADPKD. Dietary interventions show promise in managing ADPKD by improving metabolic health and reducing oxidative stress. However, while preclinical studies have shown favorable outcomes, limited clinical evidence supports their effectiveness. In addition, the long-term consequences of these dietary interventions, including their effect on adverse events in patients with ADPKD, remain uncertain. To optimize ADPKD management, patients are advised to follow a dietary regimen that aims to achieve or maintain an ideal body weight and includes high fluid intake, low sodium, and limited concentrated sweets. Caloric restriction seems particularly beneficial for patients with overweight or obesity because it promotes weight loss and improves metabolic parameters. Supplementation with curcumin, ginkgolide B, saponins, vitamin E, niacinamide, or triptolide has demonstrated uncertain clinical benefit in patients with ADPKD. Notably, β -hydroxybutyrate supplements have shown promise in animal models; however, their safety and efficacy in ADPKD require further evaluation through well-designed clinical trials. Therefore, the use of these supplements is not currently recommended for patients with ADPKD. In summary, dietary interventions such as caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, and ketogenic diet hold promise in ADPKD management by enhancing metabolic health. However, extensive clinical research is necessary to establish their effectiveness and long-term effects. Adhering to personalized dietary guidelines, including weight management and specific nutritional restrictions, can contribute to optimal ADPKD management. Future research should prioritize well-designed clinical trials to determine the benefits and safety of dietary interventions and supplementation in ADPKD.

Abstract
The clinical management of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in adults has shifted from managing complications to delaying disease progression through newly emerging therapies. Regarding pediatric management of the disease, there are still specific hurdles related to the management of children and adolescents with ADPKD and, unlike adults, there are no specific therapies for pediatric ADPKD or stratification models to identify children and young adults at risk of rapid decline in kidney function. Therefore, early identification and management of factors that may modify disease progression, such as hypertension and obesity, are of most importance for young children with ADPKD. Many of these risk factors could promote disease progression in both ADPKD and chronic kidney disease. Hence, nephroprotective measures applied early in life can represent a window of opportunity to prevent the decline of the glomerular filtration rate especially in young patients with ADPKD. In this review, we highlight current challenges in the management of patients with pediatric ADPKD, the importance of early modifying factors in disease progression as well as the gaps and future perspectives in the pediatric ADPKD research field.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, and nephronophthisis are hereditary disorders with the occurrence of numerous cysts in both kidneys, often causing chronic and end-stage renal failure. Animal models have played an important role in recent advances in research not only on disease onset and progressive mechanisms but also on the development of therapeutic interventions. For a long time, spontaneous animal models have been used as the primary focus for human diseases; however, after the identification of the nucleotide sequence of the responsible genes, PKD1, PKD2, PKHD1, and NPHPs, various types of genetically modified models were developed by genetic and reproductive engineering techniques and played the leading role in the research field. In this review, we present murine models of hereditary renal cystic diseases, discussing their potential benefits in the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The formation and growth of kidney cysts (fluid-filled structures lined by epithelial cells) is the primary pathological abnormality in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Multiple molecular pathways are disrupted in kidney epithelial precursor cells, which lead to altered planar cell polarity, increased proliferation, and fluid secretion, which together with extracellular matrix remodelling culminates in the formation and growth of cysts. Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro cyst models serve as suitable preclinical models to screen candidate drugs for PKD. Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells form polarized monolayers with a fluid-filled lumen when suspended in a collagen gel, and their growth is accelerated with the addition of forskolin, a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) agonist. Candidate drugs for PKD can be screened for their ability to modulate growth of forskolin-treated MDCK cysts by measuring and quantifying cyst images acquired at progressive timepoints. In this chapter, we describe the detailed methods for the culture and growth of MDCK cysts in a collagen matrix and a protocol for their use in testing candidate drugs to prevent cyst formation and growth.

Traversing through half a century research timeline on Ginkgo biloba, in transforming a botanical rarity into an active functional food ingredient. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 153:113299. [PMID: 35750010 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases and various other chronic ailments have gradually transformed into public-health issues. Neurodegenerative disorders are a range of progressive neural abnormalities characterized by cellular dysfunctions, neuronal structure, and function loss. Among many chronic disorders, oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysregulation, and cellular alterations in the human body are considered the most prevalent diagnostic symptoms. They have a profound impact on patients' health and wellbeing. The disease's poor curability, high healthcare costs, and lethality are the principal reasons for approaching and exploring the conventional treatment's phytotherapeutic alternatives. Ginkgo biloba (Maidenhair tree) is a well-known and widely used herbal plant in the Ginkgoaceae family. Its phytochemical constituents, Flavonoids, and terpenes, have been identified as the primary ingredients of Ginkgo biloba leaf extracts. It has been widely used due to its therapeutic properties, including its neuroprotective, anti-dementia, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, vasoactive, anti-psychotic, anti-neoplastic, and anti-platelet activity. In recent decades, plenty of Ginkgo-derived substances has been researched and elucidated to have significant therapeutic effects in numerous disease models. This review aims to provide a thorough understanding of the botanical basis for Ginkgo biloba, its usage as herbal medicine, and its pivotal role in functional foods. Additionally, the clinical significance of Ginkgo biloba, as observed in various research works and clinical investigations, is also emphasized, facilitating a better understanding of their molecular basis and application in many chronic diseases.
