Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate factors influencing the success of manual reduction of testicular torsion and the safety of conservative treatment afterward.
- Clinical data from 66 patients treated for testicular torsion between 2017 and 2022 were analyzed, with some undergoing manual reduction without anesthesia.
- Successful manual reduction led to varied treatment choices, with a recommendation for immediate or elective surgical treatment due to the risk of recurrence, despite a short duration of pain being linked to successful outcomes.
Rationale: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is uncommon, coexistence of IMTs in the kidney and abdominal wall are more uncommon.
Patient Concerns And Diagnosis: We report a 74-year-old female who presented with 6 months history of left flank pain and approximately 5 kg weight loss that were diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma and locally metastatic abdominal wall tumor.
Interventions And Outcomes: A left radical nephrectomy and excision of the abdominal wall tumor were done.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by ischemia-reperfusion is a critical conundrum in many clinical settings. Here, this study aimed to determine whether and how RTA-408, a novel oleanane triterpenoid, could confer protection against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in male mice. Mice treated with RTA-408 undergoing unilateral ischemia followed by contralateral nephrectomy had improved renal function and histological outcome, as well as decreased apoptosis, ROS production, and oxidative injury marker compared with vehicle-treated mice.

Methods: A total of 24 rats were randomly divided into the following three groups: Group A (Control group, n=8), Group B (I/R group, n=8), Group C (I/R group treated with n-3 PUFAs, n=8). Histological examination was used to assess changes in testicular structure.
Background: Previous studies have been conducted to reveal the relationship between androgen receptor CAG polymorphism and risk of prostate cancer, yet the results were elusive and controversial. Thus, this meta-analysis was performed to clarify this association.
Methods: To obtain the relevant available studies, online databases PubMed, Embase, and Web of science were searched until September 1st, 2016.
Purpose: We performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of artery preserving versus artery non-preserving in laparoscopic varicocelectomy.
Methods: All publications up until October 2015 were searched in PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid, Web of Science, and Cochrane library. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies (CSs) that compared the difference in two operative approaches in laparoscopic varicocelectomy were included.

Objective: To investigate the causes of missed diagnosis in transrectal ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate biopsy.
Methods: The biopsy results of total 278 patients who received transrectal ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate biopsy from January 2012 to December 2014 in Subei People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, using 11 systemic divisions.
Results: One hundred and twenty-nine patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer, and 149 patients were hyperplasia of prostate.
