    Abstract The interactions between the kidney and heart are well studied and frequently lumped together as cardiorenal syndrome. It is believed that the sympathetic nervous system is involved in the mechanism of kidney injury caused by heart failure, but direct evidence is still lacking. In chronic renal fibrosis, sympathetic nerve activation was demonstrated to be harmful by unilateral ureteral obstruction and post-ischemia reperfusion injury models. On the other hand, sympathetic nerve activation seemed protective in acute kidney injury models such as ischemia reperfusion injury and lipopolysaccharide injection. Our recent investigation showed that post-ischemic renal fibrosis was attenuated when preexisting heart failure was induced by transverse aortic constriction surgery and renal denervation canceled this protection. These findings suggest sympathetic nerve activation in cardiorenal syndrome may be protective on chronic renal fibrosis development caused by ischemic an insult.

    Abstract The picosecond orientational dynamics of intracellular water was measured by dielectric spectroscopy, with the aim of revealing the effects of cryoprotective agents (CPAs) on biological cells. As a first step, Jurkat cells (human T lymphocyte cells) suspended in aqueous sucrose solutions of different concentrations ranging from 0.3 M (isotonic) to 0.9 M (hypertonic) were examined at 25 °C with a frequency range up to 43.5 GHz. The Bruggeman-Hanai equation was employed to obtain a cellular dielectric spectrum without extracellular contributions from the measured complex permittivity of the cell suspensions. By analyzing the γ process around 10

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in about half of critically ill patients and is associated with high in-hospital mortality, increased long-term mortality postdischarge, and subsequent progression to chronic kidney disease. Numerous clinical studies have shown that AKI is often complicated by dysfunction of distant organs, which is a cause of the high mortality incidence associated with AKI. Experimental studies have elucidated many mechanisms of AKI-induced distant organ injury, which include inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and immune responses. This review provides an update on evidence of organ crosstalk and potential therapeutics for AKI-induced organ injuries, and presents the new concept of a systemic organ network that balances homeostasis and involves multi-organ crosstalk beyond that of the kidney with a single distant organ.

    Abstract Low-energy nitrogen removal from ammonium-rich wastewater is crucial in preserving the water environment. A one-stage nitritation/anammox process with two inflows treating ammonium-containing wastewater, supplied from inside and outside the wound filter, is expected to stably remove nitrogen. Laboratory-scale reactors were operated using different start-up strategies; the first involved adding nitritation inoculum after anammox biomass formation in the filter, which presented a relatively low nitrogen removal rate (0.171 kg N/m

    Abstract A male patient in his early 90s with no history of abdominal surgery was referred to us for abdominal pain and vomiting. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) demonstrated dilated small bowel with a double beak sign and poorly enhanced wall, which indicated a closed-loop obstruction that leads to strangulation. A closed-loop bowel was located in front of the anterior and medial segments of the liver and to the right of the round ligament of the liver on axial images. Sagittal images revealed that the round ligament has deviated downward and 2 adjacent narrowed intestines were located at its cranial side. These CT findings suggested the hernia orifice was in the falciform ligament. Emergency surgery for highly suspected bowel ischemia revealed the falciform ligament hernia. A combination of the CT findings played a key role, including the double beak sign, the location of the closed-loop small bowel, and the downward deviation of the round ligament, although preoperative CT diagnosis of falciform ligament hernia is a diagnostic challenge.

    Abstract Abstract: Introduction : The optimal target of mean arterial pressure (MAP) during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is unknown. Method : We retrospectively collected the hourly MAP data in acute kidney injury patients requiring CRRT who admitted to the intensive care unit in the University of Tokyo hospital during 2011-2019. Patients who died within 48 h of CRRT start and whose average value of hourly MAPs during the first 48 h was <65 mm Hg were excluded. When the average value of MAP was ≤75 mm Hg or >75 mm Hg, patients were allocated to the low or high target group. We estimated the effect of MAP on mortality and RRT independence at 90 days, using multivariable the Cox regression model and Fine and Gray model. Result : Of the 275 patients we analyzed, 95 patients were in the low group. There are no differences in sex, baseline kidney function, and disease severity. At 90 days, the low target group had higher mortality with 38 deaths (40.0%) compared with 57 deaths (31.7%) in the high target group ( P < 0.05). The adjusted hazard ratio of the low target group (≤75 mm Hg) for mortality was 1.72 (95% CI, 1.08-2.74). In addition, the low target group had a lower rate of RRT independence, with 60 patients (63.2%) compared with 136 patients (75.6%) in the high target group ( P < 0.05). The multivariable analysis revealed that the adjusted hazard ratio of the low target group for RRT independence was 0.74 (95% CI, 0.54-1.01). Conclusion : This study found the association with low MAP and mortality. The association with low MAP and delayed renal recovery was not revealed.

    Abstract Water dynamics is essential to biochemical processes by mediating all such reactions, including biomolecular degeneration in solutions. To disentangle the molecular-scale distribution of water dynamics around a solute biomolecule, we investigated here the rotational dynamics of water around lysozyme by combining molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS). A statistical analysis using the relaxation times and trajectories of every single water molecule was proposed, and the two-dimensional probability distribution of water at a distance from the lysozyme surface with a rotational relaxation time was given. For the observed lysozyme solutions of 34-284 mg/mL, we discovered that the dielectric relaxation time obtained from this distribution agrees well with the measured γ relaxation time, which suggests that rotational self-correlation of water molecules underlies the gigahertz domain of the dielectric spectra. Regardless of protein concentration, water rotational relaxation time versus the distance from the lysozyme surface revealed that the water rotation is severely retarded within 3 Å from the lysozyme surface and is nearly comparable to pure water when farther than 10 Å. The dimension of the first hydration layer was subsequently identified in terms of the relationship between the acceleration of water rotation and the distance from the protein surface.

    Abstract Deterioration of biomaterial is subject to the interaction between biomolecules and water, which is often of special interest to the realization of long‐term preservation. In previous study, we reported the relationship between dielectric rotational relaxation time and the ν2 + ν3 NIR combination band of water as well as the theory behind it using saccharide solutions as examples and proposed a method accordingly which takes advantages of the infrared microscope to measure the dielectric relaxation time of water in biomaterials. In this work, we examined protein, polypeptide, sugar alcohol and some shelf‐stable vegetables to further discuss its applicability and limit. We also proved that this method can be used for measuring water diffusion coefficient and showed example of how the diffusion coefficient can be used to predict water distribution during drying process at a significantly enhanced spatial resolution relative to other techniques. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Molecular mobility of water determines many properties of biomaterials and can be characterized by different spectroscopies. This paper examined the applicability of a method of calculating the dielectric relaxation time of water using NIR spectrum on different solutions and proved that this method may also be used for calculating the diffusion coefficient of water, a parameter subject to molecular mobility and crucial in the drying process. This paper also provided example of the application of this method in the calculation of water distribution during drying process. The high spatial resolution of infrared microscope relative to other techniques may enable the measurement of water dynamics in biomaterials in a much quicker way and smaller scale.
