Effect of endothelin-1 on the transmesothelial resistance of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2007)
The mesothelium is part of the peritoneal barrier that manages the water and ion transport essential for peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. In addition, it has a central role in the pathogenesis of peritoneal fibrosis and ...
Expression of transforming growth factor-beta receptor 11 mRNA in cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth
(2006)
Gingival overgrowth (GO), characterized by increased cellular and extracellular matrix components in gingival tissue, is a frequent side effect of cyclosporine (CsA). In previous studies, elevated levels of transforming ...
Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (Watermelon Stomach) in Patients With ESRD
(2006)
In 1989, Navab et al suggested that watermelon stomach often is observed in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. On the basis of this and some later reports, an etiopathogenetic association between the 2 disorders ...
Enhancement of the transmesothelial resistance of the parietal sheep peritoneum by epinephrine in vitro: Ussing-type chamber experiments
(2005)
The peritoneal mesothelium constitutes an ion transport barrier that is taken advantage of in peritoneal dialysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of epinephrine on the electrical transmesothelial ...
Differential regulation of chemokine CCL5 expression in monocytes/macrophages and renal cells by Y-box protein-1
(2009)
The Y-box protein-1 (YB-1) belongs to the family of cold shock proteins that have pleiotropic functions such as gene transcription, RNA splicing, and mRNA translation. YB-1 has a critical role in atherogenesis due to its ...
Intradialytic aerobic exercise training ameliorates symptoms of restless legs syndrome and improves functional capacity in patients on hemodialysis
(2008)
We present the first study on the influence of exercise training on restless legs syndrome (RILS) in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Restless legs syndrome has been treated pharmacologically with satisfactory results; ...
