Glomerular structural-functional relationship models of diabetic nephropathy are robust in type 1 diabetic patients
No full textEffects of pancreas transplantation on the prevention and reversal of diabetic nephropathy
No full textPancreas transplantation (PTx) is the only available treatment which is able to restore normoglycemia without exposing patients to the risks of severe hypoglycemia, thus allowing testing the effects of very long-term euglycemia in preventing, halting and reversing diabetic nephropathy (DN). Pancreas and islet transplantation in animal models have been shown to prevent, ameliorate or reverse the development of DN lesions. PTx, performed simultaneously or shortly after kidney transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes prevents the recurrence of diabetic glomerulopathy lesions in the renal allograft. To test whether DN lesions are reversible in humans, we studied renal structure before and 5 and 10 years after PTx in nonuremic patients with long-term type 1 diabetes, with mild to advanced DN lesions at baseline. Diabetic glomerular lesions were not significantly changed at 5 years after PTx, but were markedly improved after 10 years. Indeed, in most patients glomerular structure had returned to normal at 10-year follow-up. These pancreas transplant studies also showed that remodeling of the tubulointerstitium and decrease in interstitial collagen was possible. Thus, the lesions of DN are reversible by long-term normoglycemia, and that it is possible in humans associated with substantial architectural remodeling and healing of glomerular, tubular, and interstitial structures
Denitrification potential of beech soils as influenced by the seasonal cycle.
No full textThe potential for nitrification is appreciable throughout the whole seasonal cycle, but nitrate is depleted at different rates during the year. The highest values of nitrate depletion occurred in late spring, early summer and at leaf-fall when readily available carbon substrates are released from root exudates or from litter decomposition. -from Author
Enhancing the predictive value of urinary albumin for diabetic nephropathy
No full textDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is a growing cause of ESRD despite widely known recommendations for improved glycemic and BP control. Perhaps earlier identification of patients who have diabetes and are at high risk for DN could reverse these epidemiologic trends. Albumin excretion rate (AER), the mainstay of early detection of DN, is not a sufficiently precise predictor of DN risk. Careful family history, smoking history, consideration of absolute versus categorical AER values, more frequent AER measures, ambulatory BP monitoring, precise GFR measurements, diabetic retinopathy assessments, and plasma lipid levels all can add to predictive accuracy for DN. Thus, although further research in DN biomarkers and predictors is greatly needed, a careful integrated evaluation of currently available parameters can improve our ability to predict DN risk in individual patients
Nitrogen mineralization in southern beech forests.
No full textNitrogen mineralization has been studied in the slightly acidic brown earth on limestone of a beech stand and a beech-fir stand, in the forests of Monte Taburno (Campania Apennines). NH4 is the predominant form of the mineral N in the soil of both stands. Yearly NO3- production is 42.4 kg ha-1 in the beech stand and 47.0 kg ha-1 in the beech-fir stand.-from Author
