Inflammation is one of the well-recognized nontraditional risk factors that contributes to the
excessive cardiovascular mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Serum C-reactive …

During peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal cells are repeatedly exposed to a non-physiological
hypertonic environment with high glucose content and low pH. Current sterile dialysis …

Known for its unusual metamorphic native state structure, XCL1 has been the focus of most
efforts to elucidate the structural, functional, and physiological properties of chemokines in …

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and consequent unfolded protein response (UPR) are
involved in a diverse range of pathologies including ischemic diseases, neurodegenerative …

Peritoneal mesothelial cells exposed to bioincompatible dialysis fluids contribute to damage
of the peritoneum during chronic dialysis. Inflammatory response triggered in the …

There are several pathologies associated with the peritoneum, such as mesothelioma and
peritonitis. Moreover, the peritoneum is widely used in ultrafiltration procedures, ie …

Peritoneal membrane pathology limits long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). Here, we tested
whether JAK/STAT signaling is implicated and if its attenuation might be salutary. In cultured …

腹腔粘连是腹膜在遭受创伤或者炎症, 异物等刺激之后发生在腹腔脏器之间或腹腔脏器与腹壁之
间形成的范围不定的粘连或纤维索带. 多见于盆腔, 腹部外科术后, 常见的并发症有慢性疼痛 …

Background Bacterial peritonitis is a frequent complication in patients on peritoneal dialysis
(PD). We previously reported that PD fluid (PDF) suppressed expression of monocyte …

Background Noninfectious upregulation of proinflammatory pathways in mesothelial cells
may represent an integral part of their stress response upon exposure to peritoneal dialysis …
