Pseudouridine (Ψ) is a post-transcriptional modifier of RNA, often referred to as the 'fifth nucleotide' owing to its regulatory role in various biological functions as well as because of its significant involvement in the pathogenesis of human cancer. In recent years, research has revealed various Ψ modifications in different RNA types, including messenger RNA, transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, small nuclear RNA, and long noncoding RNA. Pseudouridylation can significantly alter RNA structure and thermodynamic stability, as the Ψ-adenine (A) base pair is more stable than the typical uridine (U)-A base pair is due to its structural similarity to adenine.

Background: To assess the clinical utility of PCA3 in the diagnostic accuracy, the correlation between PCA3 and biopsy or pathological characteristics and the performance of PCA3 to reduce the unnecessary biopsies in Chinese population.
Methods: A prospective study including patients with indication of prostate biopsies from 4 centers was conducted. All patients underwent PCA3 urine tests and prostate biopsies.

Background: To develop and validate an interpretable machine learning model based on intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics combined with clinicoradiological features and metabolic information from magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), to predict clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa, Gleason score ≥ 3 + 4) and avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 350 patients with suspicious prostate lesions from our institution who underwent 3.0 Tesla multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) prior to biopsy (training set, n = 191, testing set, n = 83, and a temporal validation set, n = 76).

Background & Aim: We aimed in this study to investigate the relationship between Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) use and the risk of heart failure in patients with prostate cancer. In this research, the negative or positive effects of ADT in the development of cardiovascular diseases or its exacerbation in people with prostate cancer have been investigated.
Materials And Methods: For this research, we reviewed articles from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases until February 2024.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of different b-value combinations on synthetic diffusion-weighted imaging (sDWI) and determine the sDWI with an optimal b-value combination for prostatic cancer (PCa) diagnosis.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 68 patients with abnormal prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was conducted. The sDWI images with b value of 1500 s/mm were separately reconstructed by the following five b-value combinations: b=0, 200s/mm (sDWI); b=600, 800s/mm (sDWI); b=0, 600s/mm (sDWI); b=200, 800s/mm sDWI); b=0, 800s/mm (sDWI).
