Comparison of Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Extravesical Ureteral Reimplantation for Primary Vesicoureteral Reflux in Infants Under One Year of Age and Older Children.

Purpose: To assess the surgical outcomes of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Extravesical Ureteral Reimplantation (RALUR-EV) in infants under one year of age with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) as compared to older children.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 48 children with VUR who underwent unilateral or bilateral RALUR-EV between June 2018 and December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (25 infants under one year) and Group B (23 children over one year).

AKT3 and related molecules as potential biomarkers responsible for cryptorchidism and cryptorchidism-induced azoospermia.

Background: Cryptorchidism is a common congenital malformation strongly related to future oligospermia and male infertility. Normally functioning early-stage spermatogonia are vital to ensure fertility. The present study aimed to identify new differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with signaling pathways related to spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) maintenance during early spermatogenesis.

A novel frameshift mutation in the gene causing Aarskog-Scott syndrome patient with hypogonadism: a case report.

Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) is most commonly inherited as an X-linked recessive genetic disease caused by mutations. AAS patients are most frequently male, and the clinical manifestations of facial abnormalities, skeletal deformities, and abnormal genitalia comprise a characteristic triad of diagnostic features. The results on the clinical and molecular analysis of a family that reveals a novel gene frameshift mutation in an 11-year-old boy displaying bilateral cryptorchidism associated with hypogonadism are reported here.

Exploring dysregulated miRNAs in cryptorchidism: a systematic review.

Objective: To identify dysregulated miRNAs in testicular tissues from animal models and patients with cryptorchidism.

Methods: Databases were systematically searched for studies published before 10 May 2020 that had investigated miRNAs in cryptorchidism. Predicted targets of the identified miRNA biomarkers were obtained by searching TargetScan and Starbase.

Identification of the candidate lncRNA biomarkers for acute kidney injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

: This meta-analysis aims to summarize the studies of lncRNAs dysregulation in individual acute kidney injury (AKI) and identify the potential lncRNA biomarkers of AKI.: We systematically searched four databases to identify the lncRNA expression studies of AKI in animal models and patients. The lncRNAs expression data were extracted from 38 included studies, and lncRNA vote-counting strategy was applied to identify significant lncRNA biomarkers.

Identification of candidate lncRNA biomarkers for renal fibrosis: A systematic review.

Aims: To combine the results of dysregulated lncRNAs in individual renal fibrosis lncRNA expression profiling studies and to identify potential lncRNA biomarkers.

Materials And Methods: We systematically searched three databases to identify lncRNA expression studies of renal fibrosis in animal models and humans. The lncRNA expression data were extracted from 24 included studies, and a lncRNA vote-counting strategy was applied to identify significant lncRNA biomarkers.

Cortical Hemodynamic Responses Under Focused Ultrasound Stimulation Using Real-Time Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging.

Although there is increasing use of focused ultrasound stimulation (FUS) in brain studies, the real-time changes of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) due to FUS remain unclear. In this study, we developed a novel scheme combining FUS and laser speckle contrast imaging, which can be used to measure the CBF caused by FUS in real time. The results showed that the change of CBF increased from 0 to 30 s and reached up to the maximum of 115.
