Article Synopsis
- - This clinical study compares the effectiveness and safety of two lasers, the holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (HO:YAG) and the superpulse thulium fiber laser (SP TFL), in treating kidney stones via ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy.
- - Patients will be randomly assigned to receive treatment with either laser, with outcomes measured for stone elimination and various surgical performance indicators 30 days post-operation.
- - The study is registered under ChiCTR2300076893 and aims to provide insights on whether the newer SP TFL can serve as a better alternative to the established HO:YAG laser.
Background: Emerging studies have reported the contribution of cholesterol to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. However, the specific role and mechanism of cholesterol metabolism on spontaneous and progressive HCC development from the point of view of ferroptosis are still worth exploring. The present study aimed to reveal a novel mechanism of cholesterol metabolism-related ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

The aim of this study was to underline the necessity of introducing a policy for extended RBC phenotyping of these patients and for the issuing of antigen-matched blood (at least for E antigen).
Methods: Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations of age, gender, transfusion history, and various malignancies with the development of red cell alloimmunization.
