Background: A comprehensive investigation to associate the use of polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid with bovine bone in maxillary sinus lift procedures in rabbits has not been performed yet. The aim was to evaluate the influence of this novel association on the processes of bone regeneration in maxillary sinus augmentation.
Methods: In this prospective, randomized, within-animal model, maxillary sinus augmentation was performed bilaterally in 12 rabbits.

Mitochondrial oxygen tension (MitoPO2) is a promising novel non-invasive bedside marker of circulatory shock and is associated with organ failure. The measurement of mitoPO2 requires the topical application of 5-aminolevulinc acid (ALA) to induce sufficient concentrations of the fluorescent protein protoporphyrin-IX within (epi)dermal cells. Currently, its clinical potential in guiding resuscitation therapies is limited by the long induction time prior to obtaining a reliable measurement signal.

Background: At present, the main clinical application of local ablation therapy, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), is to heat the tissue to a certain temperature. However, high temperature will cause thermal damage. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel minimally invasive local ablation technology for tumors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of a pressure-controlled and temperature-controlled flexible ureteroscope system (PT Scope™) during flexible ureteroscopy.
Materials And Methods: We developed the PT Scope™, a novel ureteroscope system with capabilities for monitoring and controlling intrarenal pressure and temperature to maintain them within set parameters. Data were retrospectively collected from 48 consecutive patients diagnosed with upper urinary tract stones who underwent flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy using the PT Scope™ across five centers in China.
