Construction of a Risk Prediction Model for Ureteral Stricture after Ureteroscopic Holmium Laser Lithotripsy.

To analyze the influencing factors of ureteral stenosis after ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. The clinical data of 427 patients treated with ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy were selected, and the patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of ureteral stenosis after the operation. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the independent risk factors for postoperative ureteral stenosis, and R software and regression coefficients were used to construct a predictive model.

n6-methyladenosine-modified circular RNA family with sequence similarity 126, member A affects cholesterol synthesis and malignant progression of prostate cancer cells by targeting microRNA-505-3p to mediate calnexin.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men. In tumor biology, n6-methyladenosine (m6A) can mediate the production of circular RNAs (circRNAs). This study focused on the mechanism of m6A-modified circRNA family with sequence similarity 126, member A (FAM126A) in PCa.

Circular RNA CCT3 is a unique molecular marker in bladder cancer.

This study surveyed circular RNA CCT3 in bladder cancer (BCa). We recruited 85 BCa patients and 40 normal controls (Normal) and collected clinical specimens for analysis. circRNA CCT3 expression was analyzed by RT-qPCR, diagnostic accuracy was calculated by ROC curves, and survival outcomes were evaluated by survival curves.

hsa_circ_0003596, as a novel oncogene, regulates the malignant behavior of renal cell carcinoma by modulating glycolysis.

Background: This research was planned to analyze hsa_circ_0003596 (circCOL5A1) and glycolysis-focused mechanisms in renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Methods: circCOL5A1, miR-370-5p, and PRKCSH levels were determined in RCC tissues and selected cell lines by RT-qPCR and/or Western blot. RCC cells after corresponding transfection were tested by colony formation assay, EdU assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry to analyze cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis.
