“…Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used for estimating hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the effects of VUR on the risk of CKD. [ 12 ] The multivariate models were simultaneously adjusted for age, sex, and comorbidities, namely diabetes mellitus, hypertension, kidney infection, hydronephrosis, cystitis, and UTI. SAS 9.4 software (SAS Institute, Cary, NC) was used for data management and statistical analysis.…”

The association between vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk remains unestablished. We investigated the incidence of CKD in children with VUR in Taiwan and evaluated whether they had a higher risk of CKD than the general population. A nationwide population-based cohort study was conducted among children with VUR identified using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database from 2000 to 2013. VUR was defined according to the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. We identified the children with VUR and randomly selected comparison children according to a 1:1 ratio, matching them by age, gender, index year and comorbidity using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database. In total, 8648 children with VUR and 8648 comparison children were included. All children were followed from the study date until a diagnosis of CKD, termination of insurance, or the end of 2013. Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed to compare the hazard ratios for CKD between the 2 cohorts. Incident cases of CKD were identified. After adjustment for potential confounders, the study cohort was independently associated with a higher risk of CKD (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.78; 95% confidence interval, 2.10–7.18). This population-based cohort study indicated that children with VUR have a higher risk of CKD than those without VUR.

“…Failure to receive timely and effective treatment may lead to sepsis, septic shock, sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), and multi-organ failure[ 3 ]. Sung et al [ 4 ] demonstrated that the overall incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) was 1.51 times higher in an LA cohort than in a non-LA cohort. Therefore, controlling infections earlier, reducing the inflammatory response, regulating immune function, and protecting kidney function in LA-induced sepsis due to LA is particularly important.…”

In recent years, metabolomics research has become a hot spot in the screening and treatment of cancer. It is a popular technique for the quantitative characterization of small molecular compounds in biological cells, tissues, organs or organisms. Further study of the tumor revealed that amino acid changes may occur early in the tumor. The rapid growth and metabolism required for survival result in tumors exhibiting an increased demand for amino acids. An abundant supply of amino acids is important for cancer to maintain its proliferative driving force. Changes in amino acid metabolism can be used to screen malignant tumors and improve therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the characteristics of amino acid metabolism in colorectal cancer. This article reviews several specific amino acid metabolism characteristics in colorectal cancer.
