Objectives: Chemokines are inflammatory mediators directly involved in immunological mechanisms that mediate alloimmune responses; recently, gene expression analysis studies have aroused great interest in the field of transplantation. We aimed to evaluate the predictive role of chemokine gene expression in rejection in renal transplant patients.
Materials And Methods: Our study included 91 patients who underwent living-related renal transplant.

Objective: To evaluate the results of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) with flexible ureteroscope (f-URS), using ureteral access sheath and without the sheath.
Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Kesan State Hospital, Edirne, Turkey, between February 2019 and May 2020.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the relationship between the levels of MMP-9 and SMAD-2 proteins and their mRNA expressions in bladder cancer patients and how these relate to the invasion of the lamina propria in the bladder wall.
- Results showed significantly higher protein levels of MMP-9 and SMAD-2 in bladder cancer patients compared to those with benign conditions, but the mRNA levels did not differ significantly.
- The increased protein level of MMP-9 in T1 stage patients suggests its potential involvement in the invasion of the lamina propria by the tumor.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the changes in patient age and stone sizes with technological advancement over time.
Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively with 404 patients (504 renal units) who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) between January 1997 and June 2020. Patient characteristics and trends on instrument preferences were investigated.
To compare the safety and efficacy of two minimally invasive surgical techniques used for pediatric stone disease: retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy (micro-PCNL). A prospective study was designed to include children aged <15 years with a single stone <20 mm. Sixty-four patients were assigned to undergo either an RIRS or a micro-PCNL (1:1 ratio).
