Molecular hydrogen (H) has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic effects. In a rat model simulating pulmonary fibrotic changes induced by monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension (MPH), we had previously explored the impact of inhaled H on lung inflammation and blood pressure. In this study, we further focused the biological effects of H on mast cells (MCs) and the parameters of the fibrotic phenotype of the local tissue microenvironment.

Human-to-mouse xenografting is one of the fundamental approaches that allows the skin to be studied in vivo and evaluate the ongoing physiological processes in real time. Humanized animals permit the actual techniques for tracing cell fate, clonal analysis, genetic modifications, and drug discovery that could never be employed in humans.

The techniques and features of percutaneous nephrolithotomy, retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), antegrade ureteroscopy using f lexible scope in this category of patients are discussed. The paper confirms the efficiency and necessity of further development of endourological methods for the treatment of urolithiasis.
