Objectives: According to our previous experience, Type III Nerve-sparing Radical hysterectomy (NSRH) for cervical cancer presented an acceptable urologic morbidity, without compromising radicality. The aim of this study was to compare Type NSRH with other types of RH in terms of incidence of early bladder dysfunctions and perioperative complications.
Methods: One hundred and ten patients with cervical cancer were submitted to Type II RH (group 1), Type III NSRH (group 2) and Type III RH (group 3). We assessed the postoperative early bladder function and complications. The follow-up period was 3 months.
Results: Group 1 had a significantly shorter duration of the surgery, minor mean blood loss and shorter mean length of postoperative stay when compared to groups 2 and 3. No intraoperative complications were reported in either of the groups. The groups did not differ significantly in terms of GIII/IV morbidity (group 1 = 10%, group 2 = 10% and group 3 = 15%, chi(2), P value: 0.65). Not even they differed in terms of urologic GI-IV morbidity (group 1 = 13%, group 2 = 15% and group 3 = 10%, chi(2), P value = 0.88). Groups 1 and 2 presented a prompt recover of bladder function, significantly different from that of group 3. There was a significant difference between the groups regarding the number of patients discharged with self-catheterism (group 1 = 0; group 2 and group 3 = 11; chi(2), P value << 0.05).
Conclusions: The Type III NSRH seems to be comparable to Type II RH and superior to Type III RH in terms of early bladder dysfunctions.

Dysregulated circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been revealed to be involved in pulmonary fibrosis progression. Herein, this study focused on exploring the function and mechanism of circRNA Zinc Finger MYM-Type Containing 2 (circZMYM2) on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) using transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-stimulated fibroblasts. Human fibroblast cell lines IMR-90 and HFL1 were stimulated with TGF-β1 to mimic fibrosis condition in vitro.

Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) is a condition defined by abnormal gas accumulation in the chest cavity. Mutations of the collagen type III alpha 1 chain, COL3A1 gene, are primarily linked to vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS); however, they can also contribute to structural changes in the tissue, like bullae of the lungs. In this case report, we present a young, thinly built boy who died due to a spontaneous pneumothorax.

The infiltration of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is predominantly characterized by diffuse spread, contributing significantly to therapy resistance and recurrence of GBM. In this study, we reveal that microtubule deacetylation, mediated through the downregulation of fibronectin type III and SPRY domain-containing 1 (FSD1), plays a pivotal role in promoting GBM diffuse infiltration. FSD1 directly interacts with histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) at its second catalytic domain, thereby impeding its deacetylase activity on α-tubulin and preventing microtubule deacetylation and depolymerization.

Electroactive organisms contribute to metal cycling, pollutant removal, and other redox-driven environmental processes via extracellular electron transfer (EET). Unfortunately, developing genotype-phenotype relationships for electroactive organisms is challenging because EET is necessarily removed from the cell of origin. Microdroplet emulsions, which encapsulate individual cells in aqueous droplets, have been used to study a variety of extracellular phenotypes but have not been applied to investigate EET.

Background: Cervical cancer is considered one of the most common gynecological malignancies with an increased incidence in developing countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a valuable role in staging cervical cancer and providing valuable information necessary for selecting the appropriate treatment plan, while closely correlating with the prognosis of the patient.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the preoperative loco-regional staging of cervical carcinoma.
