Clinicopathological characteristics and typing of multilocular cystic renal neoplasm of low malignant potential.

Background: Up until now, no research has been reported on the association between the clinical growth rate of multilocular cystic renal neoplasm of low malignant potential (MCRNLMP) and computed tomography (CT) imaging characteristics. Our study sought to examine the correlation between them, with the objective of distinguishing unique features of MCRNLMP from renal cysts and exploring effective management strategies.

Aim: To investigate optimal management strategies of MCRNLMP.

KIF20B promotes the progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma by stimulating cell proliferation.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common urinary system cancer with high morbidity and mortality rate. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly aggressive and common type of RCC. More and effective therapeutic targets are badly needed for the treatment of ccRCC.

Classification of positive surgical margins and tumor recurrence after nephron-sparing surgery for small renal masses.

Background: The association of positive margin and local recurrence after nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) remains a notably controversial issue. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between classification of positive surgical margins (PSMs) and tumor recurrence based pathological findings.

Methods: Clinical, pathological, and follow-up data of 600 small renal cancer patients who underwent NSS between November 2007 and November 2017 at four hospitals in China were analyzed retrospectively.

Acid/Base-Co-catalyzed Formal Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation Reaction of Ketones: Using Molecular Oxygen as the Oxidant.

A novel acid/base-co-catalyzed formal Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of various ketones using O as the sole oxidant under metal-free conditions has been developed for the first time. The reaction tolerates a wide range of ketones and anilines and provides a simple and efficient method for the construction of various amides and isoquinolin-1-ones from the reactions of ketones with anilines in a single step.

[Transurethral diode laser enucleation versus transurethral electrovaporization resection of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia with different prostate volumes].

Objective: To compare the clinical effect of diode laser enucleation of the prostate (DIOD) with that of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) on benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) with different prostate volumes.

Methods: This retrospective study included 256 BPH patients treated by DIOD (n = 141) or TURP (n = 115) from March 2012 to August 2015. According to the prostate volume, we divided the patients into three groups: <60 ml (42 for DIOD and 31 for TURP), 60－80 ml (51 for DIOD and 45 for TURP), and >80 ml (48 for DIOD and 39 for TURP).
