Article Synopsis
- Li-ESWT is a low-intensity therapy that helps reduce oxidative stress, prevent cell death, and promote tissue repair, making it useful for various diseases.
- In both lab experiments with TM3 Leydig cells and in living androgen-deficient rats, Li-ESWT treatment at an optimal energy level of 0.05 mJ/mm showed significant improvements in sperm count, motility, and testosterone levels.
- The beneficial effects of Li-ESWT may be linked to increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in Leydig cells, enhancing antioxidant capacity and reducing apoptosis.
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of seminal plasma miR-210-3p in the impairment of semen quality caused by varicocele. This study included 102 patients whose semen quality was normal when they were diagnosed with varicocele. A 2-year follow-up for included patients was performed, and they were divided into Group A (semen quality became abnormal) and Group B (semen quality remained normal) according to the results of semen analysis during the follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome and benign prostatic hyperplasia cases are increasing due to rising living standards and an aging population.
- Recent research indicates a connection between these two conditions and issues like blood vessel damage, high insulin levels, and increased sympathetic nerve activity.
- The article explores how these two diseases interact with each other.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the role of T-cadherin (T-cad) expression in bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) by analyzing tissue samples from 113 cancer patients and 37 normal controls.
- Results showed lower T-cad expression in TCC samples, which was linked to more advanced disease stages, higher tumor grades, larger tumor sizes, and increased likelihood of relapse.
- While low T-cad expression correlated with poorer overall survival, it was not identified as a standalone prognostic indicator.
