- * Correcting one of the mutations in the iPSCs resulted in hair cell-like cells that not only retained their pluripotency but also exhibited normal structural and functional characteristics.
- * These findings support the idea that MYO7A is crucial for the proper functioning of auditory cells and pave the way for potential gene therapies targeting genetic hearing disorders.

Objective: To compare the effects of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR) and Lichtenstein tension-free inguinal hernia repair and to explore the safety and feasibility of LIHR as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these procedures.
Subjects And Methods: In total, 252 patients with inguinal hernia were equally randomized into the transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair, totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair, and Lichtenstein tension-free hernia repair groups (n=84 each). Operating time, postoperative pain scores, postoperative scrotal seroma, postoperative local esthesiodermia, postoperative chronic pains, postoperative long-term hernia relapse, and costs of hospitalization were compared among the three groups.
