Partial hydatidiform mole pregnancy ended in full-term delivery of a normal infant: a case presentation.

Background: Twin pregnancy with a partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) and a coexistent live fetus is extremely rare. The fetus usually has a normal karyotype. The surviving rate of the fetus till lung maturity is only about 25-40%.

Strain Elastography-Targeted Biopsy: Does Prostate Volume Affect Prostate Cancer Detection?

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to assess the correlation between prostate volume and prostate cancer (PCa) detection by strain elastography (SE)-guided targeted biopsy (TB) compared with conventional transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided systematic biopsy (SB). MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 357 patients suspected to have PCa. All patients received TRUS-guided 10-core SB and SE-guided TB.

Prostate Cancer Vascularity: Superb Microvascular Imaging Ultrasonography with Histopathology Correlation.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between prostate cancer (PCa) vascularity detected by superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and Gleason score in biopsy specimens. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 119 patients with suspected PCa before biopsy underwent gray-scale ultrasound (US), color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS), and SMI imaging between June 2018 and March 2019. Vascularity quantity was assessed by SMI and compared with that of CDUS.

Evaluating the microRNA-target gene regulatory network in renal cell carcinomas, identification for potential biomarkers and critical pathways.

Variant microRNA (miRNA) expression is a character of many cancer types. The combined analysis of miRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles is crucial to identifying links between deregulated miRNAs and oncogenic pathways. The aim of this study was to screen several novel genes associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and analyze the gene functions and signal pathways which were critical to RCCs with DNA microarray.

[Transurethral resection of bladder neck for female bladder neck sclerosis: a prospective urodynamics study].

Objective: To explore the probable unsuccessful reasons for transurethral resection of bladder neck (TUR-BN) of female bladder neck sclerosis.

Methods: Thirty eligible cases received urodynamic inspections at pre-operation, post-operation of months 1, 2, 3 and 6 and year 1.

Results: TUR-BN was effective in 27 patients (90%), but ineffective in 3 (10%).

[Morphology and celluar proliferation of follicles from cryopreserved human ovarian tissues].

Objective: To compare the morphology and proliferation of primordial and primary follicles in fresh and vitrificated human ovarian tissues.

Methods: Human ovarian tissues were cryopreserved by direct cover vitrification (DCV) for 2 weeks. The morphology of the primordial and primary follicles from the frozen-thawed tissues was compared with those from the fresh tissues.
