The research of new techniques for surgical repair of urethral stenosis, has developed interest and knowledge toward tissue handling and transfer in urology. Successful surgical repair of "long" stenosis is possible nowadays, using graft or flap tissue transfer. The knowledge of methral anatomy and of histopathology urethral anatomy, histopathology and physiopathology of the mechanism involved in process of urethral narrowing, is necessary for the diagnosis and the surgical indication of this pathology. To review physiopatological and anatomopathological aspects of urethral stenosis is the aim of the authors.

The treatment of articular cartilage damage has always represented a problem of considerable practical interest for orthopedics. Over the years, many surgical techniques have been proposed to induce the growth of repairing tissue and limit degeneration. In 1994, the turning point occurred: implanted autologous cells paved the way for a new treatment option based more on regeneration than repair.

Powder-based hemostatic materials have offered unprecedented opportunities for the effective sealing and repair of irregularly shaped wounds and high-pressure, noncompressible arterial bleeding wounds caused by surgeries, traffic accidents, and wartime injuries. However, inadequate adhesion to bleeding wounds and poor hemostasis in biological tissues remains challenging. Herein, we report a self-gelling hemostatic powder based on polyacrylic acid/polyethyleneimine/polyethylene glycol (named PPG) for rapid hemostasis and effective antibacterial ability.

The brain contains many interconnected and complex cellular and molecular mechanisms. Injury to the brain causes permanent dysfunctions in these mechanisms. So, it continues to be an area where surgical intervention cannot be performed except for the removal of tumors and the repair of some aneurysms.

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the infiltration of lymphocytes on salivary and lacrimal glands, resulting in their dysfunction. Patients suffering from severe pSS have an increased risk of developing multi-organ dysfunction syndrome due to the development of systemic inflammatory response, which results in immune cell-driven injury of the lungs, kidneys, liver, and brain. Therapeutic agents that are used for the treatment of severe pSS encounter various limitations and challenges that can impact their effectiveness.

DNA is frequently damaged by genotoxic stresses such as ionizing radiation, reactive oxygen species, and nitrogen species. DNA damage is a key contributor to cancer initiation and progression, and thus the precise and timely repair of these harmful lesions is required. Recent studies revealed transcription as a source of genome instability, and transcription-coupled DNA damage has been a focus in cancer research.
