AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
1. Neuronal, but not circulating catecholamines, regulate the induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) by testosterone in the mouse kidney. 2. Central and peripheral catecholamine-depleting agents, such as reserpine or alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine, exerted a more pronounced effect on renal ODC than the selective agents tetrabenazine or guanethidine. 3. Benserazide and haloperidol decreased the induction of renal ODC produced by testosterone in female mice. 4. Renal denervation produced a partial inhibition of renal ODC in male mice and decreased the induction of ODC elicited by testosterone in female mice. 5. These results suggest that both peripheral sympathetic neurons as well as central related factors can modulate the effect of androgens on renal ODC activity.

Objective: The present study aimed to examine the relationship between irrigation velocity, operator duty cycle (ODC), and intrarenal temperature during retrograde intrarenal surgery with a superpulse fiber thulium laser.
Methods: Place the stones into the fresh isolated porcine kidneys, use puncture needle to place the temperature probe 2 mm around the stones, and place the pressure probes in the upper calyx, lower calyx, and renal pelvis. Place the entire setup in a 37 °C constant temperature water bath to simulate the human body environment.

Introduction: With advancements in laser technology, urologists have been able to treat urinary calculi more efficiently by increasing the energy delivered to the stone. With increases in power used, there is an increase in temperatures generated during laser lithotripsy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thermal dose and temperatures generated with four laser settings at a standardized power in a high-fidelity, anatomic model.

Purpose: To evaluate the thermal profiles of the holmium laser at different laser parameters at different locations in an in vitro anatomic pelvicalyceal collecting system (PCS) model. Laser lithotripsy is the cornerstone of treatment for urolithiasis. With the prevalence of high-powered lasers, stone ablation efficiency has become more pronounced.
