Objective: To explore the expression and clinical significance of thymidine phosphorylase/platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) in renal cell carcinoma.
Methods: The expression of PD-ECGF in 76 specimens of renal cell carcinoma from June 2002 to December 2006 was examined by EnVision immunohistochemistry. The correlation of the expression of PD-ECGF with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis in renal cell carcinoma patients were analyzed.
Objectives: To analyze the risk factors of postoperative bacteriuria and the correlation with leukocyturia after bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Methods: A total of 121 noncatheterized patients with sterile preoperative urine undergoing bipolar TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were entered into the prospective study. All patients received antibiotic prophylaxis with ceftriaxone.
Objective: To study the relationships of experimental varicocele to the apoptosis of epididymis epithelium and changes of the contents of alpha-1,4-glucosidase and sialic acid from the unilateral epididymis in adolescent rats, and to investigate the effects of varicocele on the unilateral epididymis epithelium.
Methods: Experimental left varicocele models of 16 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were obtained by partial ligation of the left renal vein. The epididymides were collected for detecting the apoptosis of epididymis epithelium and the contents of alpha-1,4-glucosidase and sialic acid by using spectrophotometry.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to examine the expression of NF-kappaB and apoptosis in spermatogenic epithelial cells after restoring testis following a 720-degree torsion in rats, exploring the relationship between these factors.
- - Sixteen male SD rats were divided into three groups: one received a salicylazosulfapyridinium treatment after surgery, another received saline, and the last underwent a sham operation.
- - Results indicated that while there was no significant difference in cytoplasmic NF-kappaB expression among the groups, the nuclear NF-kappaB levels in the saline group were notably higher than in the other groups, suggesting a potential link between NF-kappaB expression and cell apoptosis in the context of testicular
Aim: To determine whether sulfasalazine can prevent apoptosis in spermatogenic cells by preventing the activation of NF-kappaB in spermatogenic epithelium in experimental testicular torsion.
Methods: Thirty-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to unilateral 720 degree testicular torsion for durations of 0 h and 2 h, then the torsion was relieved. The ischemic/reperfused testes were collected for the detection of NF-kappaB expression with Western blotting and immunohistochemistry techniques, and detection of apoptosis with TUNEL techniques.
Objective: To explore the changes of methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), total antioxidants content (TAC) and sialic acid (SA) from the unilateral epididymis of experimental varicocele in adolescent rats, and to illuminate the effects of varicocele on unilateral epididymis epithelium.
Methods: Experimental left varicocele model of 16 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were established by partial ligation of left renal vein. The epididymis were collected for detecting the content of MDA, TAC and SA by using spectrophotometry.
