Background: Prostate cancer (PC), a malignant tumor occurring in the male prostate tissue, has a high incidence rate. In this study, we explored the role of tripartite motif 47 (TRIM47) in the progression of PC and its underlying mechanism.
Methods: PC and paracancerous tissues were collected from Shenzhen Peoples's Hospital.
Underground coal gasification is of great strategic significance to the effective and clean development of coal resources and scale up production of natural gas worldwide. Selection evaluation is the foundation of the exploration and development of underground coal gasification. In this paper, the differences between mid-deep (500-2200 m) and shallow layer (<500 m) underground coal gasification are analyzed, the key parameters affecting underground coal gasification are clearly identified, and the selection evaluation technology system is established.

Urinary computed tomography (CT) showed two different incidental masses in the right kidney. The patient underwent a radical right nephrectomy without lymph node dissection and postoperative adjuvant treatment.

This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and outcome of this fenestrated vasoepididymostomy for epididymal obstructive azoospermia (OA).
Methods: Microsurgical two-suture transversal intussusception vasoepididymostomy was performed using our modified fenestration technique in 64 OA patients due to epididymal obstruction at our hospital.
Purpose: To investigate the puncture accuracy and feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in flank position for patients with no apparent hydronephrosis.
Methods: Between May 2018 and June 2020, 72 kidney stone patients with no or mild hydronephrosis were randomized into two groups: a CEUS-guided PCNL group and a conventional ultrasound (US)-guided group. Patients' demographics and perioperative outcomes were compared, including the success rate of puncture via calyceal fornix, the success rate of a single-needle puncture, puncture time, operative time, postoperative hemoglobin loss, stone-free rate, incidence of complications and postoperative stay.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate the expression of downstream targeted mRNAs. Increasing evidence has suggested that miRNAs act as tumor suppressors or oncogenes to interfere the progression of cancers. Here, we showed that miR-204-3p was decreased in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of preparing the porous extracellular matrix (ECM) by use of some chemicals and enzymes to decellularize the porcine carotid artery.
Methods: The porcine carotid artery was procured, and warm ischemia time was less than 30 minutes. The porcine carotid artery was decellularized with 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) for 60 hours to prepare common ECM; then common ECM was treated with 0.
