[A Case of Pappilary Renal Cell Caircinoma which Responded Well to the Combination Therapy of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab --A CASE REPORT-].

We report a case of papillary renal cell carcinoma that responded well to the combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab. The patient was a 68-year-old male who was being followed up for a small left renal mass without treatment. Two years later, computed tomography (CT) showed enlarged cervical and para-aortic lymph nodes, and lymph node biopsy suggested metastases of the cancer.

[A Case of Robot-Assisted Radical Cystoprostatectomy for Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer with Bladder Infiltration].

While robot-assisted radical cystoprostatectomy (RARC) for locally advanced prostate cancer (LAPC) may sometimes prove to be excessive treatment, it can significantly reduce the risk of positive surgical margins and lower urinary tract obstruction in some cases. Here, we report a case of LAPC treated with RARC in a patient with right hydronephrosis due to bladder infiltration and left hypoplastic kidney. A 71-year-old man presented with frequent urination in August 2019.

Cellular vacuolation induced by Clostridium perfringens epsilon-toxin.

The epsilon-toxin of Clostridium perfringens forms a heptamer in the membranes of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, leading to cell death. Here, we report that it caused the vacuolation of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. The toxin induced vacuolation in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner.
