Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), often caused by biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus, present significant clinical challenges. Skt35, a dioxopiperidinamide derivative of cinnamic acid, was investigated for its potential antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against S. aureus biofilms.

Background: Several clinical trials showed that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have protective effects against chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both patients with and those without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Since one of the renoprotective mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors is thought to be amelioration of glomerular hyperfiltration, we hypothesized that an enlarged glomerular diameter, which suggests increased single-nephron glomerular filtration rate, is associated with a reduction in urinary protein after treatment with an SGLT2 inhibitor.
Methods: This study was a retrospective multicentered study including 28 adult patients with CKD who underwent kidney biopsy and were then treated with dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common malignancies in the urinary system, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype. MYBL2 has been reported to be overexpressed in various tumors and associated with poor prognosis in patients, but its biological role in ccRCC remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the mRNA and protein expression levels of MYBL2 in ccRCC samples and evaluated the prognostic value of MYBL2 using TCGA dataset.

Background: Urinary system tumors often cause negative psychological symptoms, such as depression and dysphoria which significantly impact immune function and indirectly affect cancer prognosis. While epirubicin (EPI) is recommended by the European Association of Urology and can improve prognosis, its long-term use can cause toxic side effects, reduce treatment compliance, and increase psychological burden. Therefore, an appropriate intervention mode is necessary.

Organic micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, and food additives, are widespread in the environment, causing potentially toxic effects. Human waste is a direct source of micropollutants, with the majority of pharmaceuticals being excreted through urine. Urine contains its own microbiota with the potential to catalyze micropollutant biotransformations.
