Plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulin prolonged the survival of a porcine kidney xenograft in a sensitized, deceased human recipient.

Background: The primary limitation to kidney transplantation is organ shortage. Recent progress in gene editing and immunosuppressive regimens has made xenotransplantation with porcine organs a possibility. However, evidence in pig-to-human xenotransplantation remains scarce, and antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a major obstacle to clinical applications of xenotransplantation.

Optical biomarker analysis for renal cell carcinoma obtained from preoperative and postoperative patients using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the urinary system, accounting for 80 % to 90 % for all renal malignancies. Traditional diagnostic methods like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) lack the sensitivity and specificity as they lack specific biomarkers. These limitations impede effective monitoring of tumor recurrence.

Case reports of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and inferior vena cava tumor thrombectomy: A retrospective analysis.

Renal cell carcinoma is one common type of urologic cancers. It has tendencies to invade into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and usually requires an open surgery procedure. High rates of operative complications and mortality are usually associated with an open surgery procedure.

PHLDA3 exerts an antitumor function in prostate cancer by down-regulating Wnt/β-catenin pathway via inhibition of Akt.

Pleckstrin homology-like domain family A, member 3 (PHLDA3) is a novel tumor-related protein that mediates carcinogenesis of multiple cancers. However, the relevance of PHLDA3 in prostate cancer has not been explored. The purpose of this work was to illustrate the possible roles and mechanisms of PHLDA3 in prostate cancer.

Fuzzy [Formula: see text] output-feedback control for the discrete-time system with channel fadings, sector nonlinearities, and randomly occurring interval delays and nonlinearities.

In this paper, the fuzzy [Formula: see text] output-feedback control problem is investigated for a class of discrete-time T-S fuzzy systems with channel fadings, sector nonlinearities, randomly occurring interval delays (ROIDs) and randomly occurring nonlinearities (RONs). A series of variables of the randomly occurring phenomena obeying the Bernoulli distribution is used to govern ROIDs and RONs. Meanwhile, the measurement outputs are subject to the sector nonlinearities ( the sensor saturations) and we assume the system output is [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text].
