The authors report 2 patients with recurrent retroperitoneal neoplasms in whom ureteral fistulas were treated successfully by percutaneous transcatheter embolization of the renal artery with absolute ethanol. Angio-occlusive nephrectomy is suggested as an alternative to surgical nephrectomy in seriously ill and high-risk patients to preserve their quality of life.

Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (ALK-RCC) is a rare molecularly defined tumor entity included in the fifth edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors. It is characterized by rearrangement of the ALK gene with various fusion partner genes, which most commonly results in oncogenic fusion proteins leading to ALK activation.
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old Chinese man underwent partial nephrectomy for a left renal tumor measuring 5 cm in diameter.

To understand the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of aggressive renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC). The clinical features, histology, immunophenotype, molecular characteristics and prognosis of 4 cases of metastatic/recurrent renal MTSCC that were submitted to the Peking University Third Hospital (2 cases), Institute of Urology, Peking University (one case) and Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital (one case) from 2015 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Among the four patients, two were male and two were female.

Article Synopsis
- The anaphylatoxin C5a and its receptor C5aR (CD88) have been linked to kidney diseases like ANCA-associated vasculitis.
- Researchers used various techniques to examine the expression of C5aR and its second receptor, C5L2, in human and mouse kidneys, finding C5aR on specific immune cells and kidney tubular areas.
- In a chronic kidney injury model, increased C5aR expression was noted in fibrotic regions, and C5a signaling triggered inflammation and remodeling factors in macrophages, suggesting its role in promoting kidney damage through excessive inflammation and cellular changes.

Glomeruli filter blood through the coordination of podocytes, mesangial cells, fenestrated endothelial cells, and the glomerular basement membrane. Cellular changes, such as podocyte loss, are associated with pathologies like diabetic kidney disease. However, little is known regarding the in situ molecular profiles of specific cell types and how these profiles change with disease.

This case report presents a 14-year-old male patient with a medical history of left nephrectomy for cystic nephroma and resolved hypertension, who sustained a right both-bone middle shaft forearm fracture while playing football. The injury was managed initially with manipulation under anesthesia, the insertion of the Titanium Elastic Nailing System (TENS), and the application of an above-elbow cast. Clinical and radiographic reviews confirmed fracture healing after seven weeks, allowing for cast removal and advising the patient to avoid contact sports.
