Is Ablation Suitable For Small Renal Masses (SRMs)? A Meta-Analysis.

Rationale And Objectives: To compare perioperative and oncology outcomes of ablation and partial nephrectomy in small renal masses (SRMs).

Methods: We conduct this meta-analysis strictly according to the PRISMA standard, and the quality evaluation follows the AMSTAR standard. Four databases, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, were systematically searched.

Comparing the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery and open inguinal lymph node dissection in penile cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To compare the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with open inguinal lymph node dissection (O-ILND) in penile cancer.

Methods: We performed a systematic reviews and cumulative meta-analyses of primary results of interest according to PRISMA criteria, and quality assessment followed AMSTAR. The system searched five databases, including Zhiwang, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Web of Science.

Perioperative and Oncological Outcomes of Partial Versus Radical Nephrectomy for Complex Renal Tumors (RENAL Score ≥ 7): Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Which is superior, partial nephrectomy (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN), for the treatment of complex renal tumours (RENAL or score ≥ 7)?

Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. A systematic search of the literature published before November 2023 was conducted using Pubmed, Embase, Cochran, and Web of Science libraries. We included studies comparing perioperative and oncologic outcomes of partial nephrectomy and radical nephrectomy for complex renal tumors.

Comparing the safety and efficacy of single-port versus multi-port robotic-assisted techniques in urological surgeries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Comparing the safety and efficacy of single-port (SP) versus multi-port (MP) robotic-assisted techniques in urological surgeries.

Methods: A systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis was performed using PRISMA criteria for primary outcomes of interest, and quality assessment followed AMSTAR. Four databases were systematically searched: Embase, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science.

Mayo Adhesion Probability Score Predicts Perioperative Outcome of Partial Nephrectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Assessing whether Mayo adhesive probability (MAP) levels affect perioperative outcomes after partial nephrectomy (PN). This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. A systematic search of the literature published before February 1, 2023 was conducted using Pubmed, Embase, Cochran, and Web of Science libraries.

The role of robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in testicular cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RA-RPLND) versus non-robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in testicular cancer.

Methods: The statistical analysis software used Stata 17. The weighted mean difference (WMD) represents the continuous variable, and the dichotomous variable chooses the odds ratio, and calculates the 95% CI.

The role of laparoscopic adrenalectomy in the treatment of large pheochromocytomas (>6 cm): a meta-analysis and systematic review.

Background: The effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) under different routes for the treatment of large pheochromocytomas (PCCs) is unknown.

Materials And Methods: This meta-analysis and systematic review was performed according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and AMSTAR (Assessing the methodological quality of systematic reviews) Guidelines. Three databases were systematically searched, including Medline, PubMed, and Web of Science.

Comparison of the perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic and open retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for low-stage (stage I/II) testicular germ cell tumors: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Comparison of the perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (L-RPLND) and open retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (O-RPLND) for low-stage (stage I/II) testicular germ cell tumors.

Methods: The authors performed a systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis of the primary outcomes of interest according to PRISMA criteria, and the quality assessment of the included studies followed the AMSTAR guidelines. Four databases were searched, including Embase, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science.

Efficient and genotype independent maize transformation using pollen transfected by DNA-coated magnetic nanoparticles.

Current gene delivery methods for maize are limited to specific genotypes and depend on time-consuming and labor-intensive tissue culture techniques. Here, we report a new method to transfect maize that is culture-free and genotype independent. To enhance efficiency of DNA entry and maintain high pollen viability of 32%-55%, transfection was performed at cool temperature using pollen pretreated to open the germination aperture (40%-55%).

Identifying key regulatory genes of maize root growth and development by RNA sequencing.

Root system architecture (RSA), the spatio-temporal configuration of roots, plays vital roles in maize (Zea mays L.) development and productivity. We sequenced the maize root transcriptome of four key growth and development stages: the 6th leaf stage, the 12th leaf stage, the tasseling stage and the milk-ripe stage.
