Flank suspended supine position for percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Aims: Prone and supine positions for percutaneous nephrolithotomy are widely used but have their drawbacks. We report a new positioning method called "flank suspended supine position" (FSSP) for PCNL and describe our experience with PCNL in this position to evaluate its safety and efficacy.

Methods: Retrospective study of 150 cases of renal stone patients treated with PCNL in a new position called flank suspended supine position (FSSP) from June 2009 to July 2010.

Histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A inhibits the growth of bladder cancer cells through induction of p21WAF1 and G1 cell cycle arrest.

Purpose: To investigate whether Trichostatin A (TSA) possesses antitumor activity against human bladder cancer cells, and if any, its mechanism.

Materials And Methods: A human bladder cancer cell line, BIU-87, was treated with different concentrations of TSA. After treatment, cell growth was measured by MTT assay.
