Recent Update on Acute Kidney Injury-to-Chronic Kidney Disease Transition
Yonsei Med J. 2024 May;65(5):247-256. doi: 10.3349/ymj.2023.0306.ABSTRACTAcute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by an abrupt decline of excretory kidney function. The incidence of AKI has increased in the past decades. Patients diagnosed with AKI often undergo diverse clinical trajectories, such as early or late recovery, relapses, and even a potential transition from AKI to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although recent clinical studies have demonstrated a strong association between AKI and progression of CKD, our understanding of the complex relationship between AKI and CKD is still evolving. No cohort study has succe...

Immune Cell-Mediated Autoimmune Responses in Severe Asthma
Yonsei Med J. 2024 Apr;65(4):194-201. doi: 10.3349/ymj.2023.0432.ABSTRACTSevere asthma (SA) has heterogeneous inflammatory phenotypes characterized by persistent airway inflammation (eosinophilic and/or neutrophilic inflammation) and remodeling. Various immune cells (eosinophils, neutrophils, and macrophages) become more activated and release inflammatory mediators and extracellular traps, damaging the protective barrier of airway epithelial cells and further activating other immune and structural cells. These cells play a role in autoimmune responses in asthmatic airways, where the adaptive immune system generates autoant...

Evidence of Placental Villous Inflammation and Apoptosis in Third-Trimester Symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Maternal Infection
CONCLUSION: The presence of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as well as altered inflammatory and apoptotic processes may indicate the presence of placental disturbance in third-trimester maternal COVID-19 infection. The lack of correlation between placental disruption and maternal severity status suggests the need for more research to understand the infection process and any potential long-term impacts on all offsprings born to COVID-19-infected pregnant women.PMID:38515357 | PMC:PMC10973560 | DOI:10.3349/ymj.2023.0309 (Source: Yonsei Medical Journal)

The First Case of a Korean Patient with a Mutation-Confirmed Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome
Yonsei Med J. 2024 Apr;65(4):241-245. doi: 10.3349/ymj.2023.0366.ABSTRACTTumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS, OMIM: #142680) is a rare autoinflammatory disease (AID) with recurrent febrile episodes. To our knowledge, we report herein the first case of a patient with TRAPS in South Korea whose symptoms included fever, arthralgia, abdominal pain, rash, myalgia, cough, and lymphadenopathy. A pathogenic de novo mutation, c.175T>C (p.Cys59Arg), in the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFRSF1A) gene, was confirmed by gene sequencing. The patient has been with tocilizumab (an...
