In addition, diabetic foot ulcer (DFUs) patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) do not heal well, and the amputation rate is 6.5 - 10 times higher compared to the non-nephropathic diabetic population. Thus, a suitable therapeutic agent was needed. ON101 is a topical cream that promotes diabetic wound healing through a unique macrophage-regulating ability. In this case series, we included 5 diabetes patients (mean age 54.6 ± 8.7 years, 4 mal) with ESRD (mean eGFR 7.4 ± 3.35 mL/min/1.73m<sup>2</sup>) and had experienced dialysis for at least 4.5 years. These patients also have UT (University of Texas) grade 2A DFUs that have existed for at least 1.5 months (mean ulcer duration 8.3 ± 8.97 months). These subjects were applied ON101 twice daily for up to 20 weeks, and wound size was recorded during treatment. Among these subjects, three ulcers (patient No. 1, 2, and 3) completely healed within 10 weeks upon ON101 application, and one ulcer was 99% reduced at 20<sup>th</sup> weeks (patient No. 4). Only one ulcer didn’t show an obvious response that may due to poor compliance in wound care and glucose control. In summary, the overall healing rate was 60%, suggesting ON101 performed equivalence healing efficacy in dialysis patients compared with those who did not have dialysis.展开更多

However, whilst much has been documented about the shared physical characteristics of aging and uremia, the molecular and cellular similarities between the two have received less attention. In order to bridge this perceived gap we have reviewed published research concerning the common molecular processes seen in aging subjects and CKD patients, with specific attention to altered proteostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, post-translational protein modification, and senescence and telomere attrition. We have also sought to illustrate how the cell death and survival pathways apoptosis, necroptosis and autophagy are closely interrelated, and how an understanding of these overlapping pathways is helpful in order to appreciate the shared molecular basis behind the pathophysiology of aging and uremia. This analysis revealed many common molecular characteristics and showed similar patterns of cellular dysfunction. We conclude that the accelerated aging seen in patients with CKD is underpinned at the molecular level, and that a greater understanding of these molecular processes might eventually lead to new much needed therapeutic strategies of benefit to patients with renal disease.展开更多

Observation group of patients received hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion, control group of patients received hemodialysis alone, and the treatment lasted for 6 months. After 6 months of intervention, automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect renal function indexes and lipid metabolism indexes, and the two-dimensional ultrasound was used to quantitatively determine the carotid atherosclerosis parameters.Results:Before intervention, differences in renal function, lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis levels were not statistically significant between two groups of patients;after 6 months of intervention, renal function indexes blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr),β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and blood uric acid (BUA) levels of observation group were lower than those of control group, lipid metabolism indexes total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) levels were lower than those of control group, and differences between groups were statistically significant;quantitative carotid ultrasound parameters gray-scale median (GSM) of observation group was higher than that of control group, enhanced intensity (EI) and enhanced density (ED) were lower than those of control group, and differences between groups were statistically significant.Conclusion:Hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion can improve the dialysis efficiency, also reduce lipid metabolism disturbance and delay the formation of atherosclerosis in patients with uremia.展开更多

Immobilized pH gradient two- dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis （2DE）, silver staining, ImageMaster 2D 5.0 analysis software, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS） and IPI human database searching were used to separate and identify the proteome of the sera from the patients with uremia. The results showed that satisfactory 2DE patterns of the serum proteins were obtained. Twenty-six protein spots showed significant difference in quantity in uremia patients, and 20 protein spots were identified by MALDI-TOF-TOF-MS. It was concluded that good reproducibility could be obtained by applying immobilized pH gradient 2DE to separate and identify the proteome in serum, which provided the foundation for the further study on uremia toxins oertaining to orotein.展开更多

Before and after dialysis, serum was collected respectively to determine the levels of side metabolites, calcium-phosphorus metabolism indexes and cytokines.Results: 3 months after dialysis, serum Ca levels of two groups of patients were not significantly different from those before dialysis while BUN, Scr,β2-MG, sTfR, P, PTH and AKP levels were significantly lower than those before dialysis;3 months after dialysis, serum BUN, Scr and Ca levels of high-flux group were not significantly different from those of low-flux group whileβ2-MG, sTfR, P, PTH, AKP, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 levels were significantly lower than those of low-flux group.Conclusion:Compared with low-flux hemodialysis, high-flux hemodialysis treatment of uremia can more effectively remove middle molecular and macromolecular toxins, correct calcium-phosphorus metabolism disorder and relieve micro-inflammatory state.展开更多

The patients in the two groups were given routine HD treatment. On the above basis, the patients in the study group were given HP treatment, continuously for 3 months. The toxin content, clearance rate, and serum inflammatory cytokines before and after treatment in the two groups were detected and compared. The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus was used to detect the carotid IMT before and after treatment in the two groups. Results: Scr and BUN after treatment in the two groups, and PTH andβ2-MG contents in the study group were significantly reduced when compared with before treatment. PTH andβ2-MG contents after treatment in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while PTH andβ2-MG clearance rate was significantly higher than that in the control group. The serum MDA, hs-CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α levels after treatment in the two groups were significantly reduced when compared with before treatment. The serum hs-CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α levels after treatment in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group. IMT and plaque area after treatment in the control group were significantly increased when compared with before treatment, while IMT and plaque area in the study group were not significantly changed. The plaque area after treatment in the study group was significantly less than that in the control group.Conclusions: HD in combined with HP can significantly enhance the toxin clearance rate of large molecules in patients with uremia, alleviate the inflammatory reaction, and meanwhile effectively delay the occurrence of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular complications.展开更多
