Clinical pathological features and prognosis of diabetic nephropathy patients with stage 4 chronic kidney disease by YU Tian-yu, JIANG Shi-min, YANG Yue, FANG Jin-ying, GAO Hong-mei, ZOU Gu-ming, LI Wen-ge

“…Objective To investigate the relationship of clinical manifestations and pathological features with prognosis of diabetic nephropathy（DN） patients with stage 4 chronic kidney disease（CKD）.Methods The study subjects were those patients,who were diagnosed as DN by renal biopsy pathology with renal function in stage 4 CKD in Department of Nephrology of Chino-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2005 to August 2019.The follow-up deadline was either the primary endpoint or until November 30,2019.The primary endpoints of observation were initiation of maintenance kidney replacement therapy,death or estimated glomerular filtration rate（eGFR） less than 15 mL·min^-1·（1.73 m²）^-1.The secondary endpoints were cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.Based on the pathological classification of renal biopsy,the clinical and pathological parameters of the patients were respectively analyzed and survival analysis was performed.Results A total of 24 patients were included in the study,3 cases of type Ⅱa,with 3 cases of type IIb,15 cases of type III and 3 cases of type IV.The total median follow-up time was 20.7（range 5.9～72.4） months.The total median survival time was 17.3 months.7 patients with stage 4 CKD were still maintained,with the median follow-up time of 14.6（range 5.9～46.8） months;17 patients developed the primary endpoint event,with the median follow-up time of 14.2（range 6.1～72.4） months.The renal cumulative survival rates in 6 months,12 months and 18 months were 82.6%,59.3% and 41.6%,respectively.The comparison between the two groups with and without the primary endpoint events showed that systolic blood pressure and cardiovascular events were statistically different（P<0.05）.Conclusions The median survival time of progression to composite kidney endpoint events in DN patients with stage 4 CKD is 17.3 months.Control level of blood pressure and cardiovascular events might be the major relevant factors in progression of renal function.…”

“…However, the variability in soil microbial community diversity across different regions of the Antarctic Peninsula remains underexplored. (2) Methods: We utilized metagenome sequencing to investigate the composition and functionality of soil microbial communities in four locations: Devil Island, King George Island, Marambio Station, and Seymour Island. (3) Results: In the KGI region, we observed increased abundance of bacteria linked to plant growth promotion and the degradation of pollutants, including PAHs. …”
