Abstract Background: Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a worldwide public health burden. Niaoduqing granules (NDQ) is widely used for CRF treatment in China. However, the underlying mechanism of NDQ is not fully studied. This study is aimed to investigate whether NDQ ameliorate CRF by inhibiting TGF-β1-induced EMT in human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells.Methods: MTT assay and colony formation assay were used to investigate the cytotoxicity of NDQ in HK-2 cells. Morphological changes of HK-2 cells after TGF-β1 or/and NDQ treatment were observed under a microscope. Wound-healing, migration and invasion assays were performed to determine the cell movement, migratory and invasive abilities, respectively. Western blot analysis was carried out to examine the protein levels of TGF-β type I receptor (TβRI) and EMT-associated factors. Fluorescence confocal microscopy was applied to observe the organization of F-actin.Results: NDQ suppressed TβRI expression dose-dependently. NDQ inhibited TGF-β1-stimulated EMT in HK-2 cells, supported by the evidences that NDQ prevented morphology change, attenuated cell migration and invasion, downregulated EMT factors and reorganized F-actin distribution in TGF-β1-stimulated HK-2 cells.Conclusions: NDQ attenuates chronic renal failure which may be associated with inhibition of TβRI expression and EMT process.

Objective: To investigate the effects of different hemodialysis treatments on abnormal mineral and bone metabolism in patients with chronic renal failure. Methods: A random number table was used to divide 80 patients with chronic renal failure admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 into 2 groups, with 40 cases in each group. Group A was treated with low-flux hemodialysis, and group B was treated with high-flux hemodialysis. The related indicators of mineral and bone metabolism of the two groups were compared. Results: Before treatment, the blood calcium, blood phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), type I procollagen amino terminal peptide (PINP), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), serum creatinine (Scr) indicators of the two groups were compared. The difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05); After treatment, the blood calcium levels of the two groups were higher than before treatment, the blood phosphorus, iPTH, PINP, FGF23, and Scr levels were lower than before treatment, and the blood calcium level of group B was higher than that of group A, while blood phosphorus, iPTH, PINP, FGF23, and Scr levels were lower than group A, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with low-flux hemodialysis, patients with chronic renal failure treated with high-flux hemodialysis have better results, which can correct abnormal bone metabolism and improve Scr levels.
