AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on optimizing cryodestruction techniques for the healthy prostate gland in dogs using freezing methods.
  • Two healthy dogs underwent freezing of their prostate glands with different applicators and methods, followed by evaluation after four weeks.
  • The results indicated that the flat applicator combined with repeated freezing cycles achieved the most effective gland size reduction with minimal bleeding after thawing.

Article Abstract

The investigation aimed at selecting the best parameters of cryodestruction of the healthy prostatic gland in dogs. Freezing was performed from the external side of the gland. The investigations were carried out on 2 healthy dogs in which the prostatic glands were frozen with two different methods and then, 4 weeks later, the degree of the gland size decrease was estimated. Both dogs were subjected to the unifocal cryodestruction of the lobes of the prostate. The comparison was made of the usefulness of the flat and spear-headed applicators in the freezing procedure performed in a single or repeated cycle. Also two methods of taking the temperature of the urethra to protect it against overfreezing were compared. It was observed that the greatest decrease of the gland (by 55%) was obtained while using flat applicator and the repeated freezing cycle. Flat applicator does not cause any significant bleeding after the gland thawing.

Purpose: Prior noncontemporary studies showed that oral cyclophosphamide is an active treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, cyclophosphamide is currently underutilized in routine clinical practice given the lack of survival benefit and the emergence of more effective treatments.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our institutional database to identify patients with mCRPC treated with cyclophosphamide.

Effects of Chemical Pretreatments of Wood Cellulose Nanofibrils on Protein Adsorption and Biological Outcomes.

Wood-based nanocellulose is emerging as a promising nanomaterial in the field of tissue engineering due to its unique properties and versatile applications. Previously, we used TEMPO-mediated oxidation (TO) and carboxymethylation (CM) as chemical pretreatments prior to mechanical fibrillation of wood-based cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) to produce scaffolds with different surface chemistries. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of these chemical pretreatments on serum protein adsorption on 2D and 3D configurations of TO-CNF and CM-CNF and then to investigate their effects on cell adhesion, spreading, inflammatory mediator production , and the development of foreign body reaction (FBR) .

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram model that predicts the risk of bone metastasis (BM) in a prostate cancer (PCa) population.

Methods: We retrospectively collected and analyzed the clinical data of patients with pathologic diagnosis of PCa from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2022 in two hospitals in Yangzhou, China. Patients from the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University were divided into a training set and patients from the Affiliated Clinical College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Yangzhou University were divided into a validation set.

The Promising Biological Role of Postbiotics in Treating Human Infertility.

Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins

Department of Food Science and Technology, Faculty of Nutrition & Food Sciences, Nutrition, Tabriz, Iran.

Infertility poses a global challenge that impacts a significant proportion of the populace. Presently, there is a substantial emphasis on investigating the potential of probiotics and their derivatives, called postbiotics, as an alternative therapeutic strategy for addressing infertility. The term of "postbiotics" refers to compounds including peptides, enzymes, teichoic acids, and muropeptides derived from peptidoglycans, polysaccharides, proteins, and organic acids that are excreted by living bacteria or released after bacterial lysis.
