Anti-Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Gene Therapy Attenuates Renal Injury Induced by Protein-Overload Proteinuria

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that MCP-1 plays an important role in the development of tubulointerstitial inflammation, tubular damage, and fibrosis induced by proteinuria, and the fact that 7ND gene therapy had little effect on the contralateral kidney indicates that7ND acted locally.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming growth factor-β induces vascular endothelial growth factor-C expression leading to lymphangiogenesis in rat unilateral ureteral obstruction

TL;DR: Both in vitro and in vivo, the induction of VEGF-C along with the overall appearance of lymphatics in vivo was specifically suppressed by the TGF-β type I receptor inhibitor LY364947, which leads to lymphangiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peritonitis is still an important factor for withdrawal from peritoneal dialysis therapy in the Tokai area of Japan

TL;DR: The results suggest that the incidence of peritonitis needs to be decreased to prevent early withdrawal of PD patients, and education systems to decrease the incidence and techniques to decrease culture-negative results might be important for improving the prognosis ofperitonitis.
