Decellularized kidney scaffold alters the healing response in chronic renal failure.

Decellularized (DC) kidney scaffold shows great potential for renal recovering. Our study explored the effect of the DC kidney scaffolds treating on chronic renal failure (CRF) through grafting them on 5/6 nephrectomized (5/6 Nx) rat kidneys compared with gelatin sponges covered the incision edges. Blood urea nitrogen and angiotensin II were significantly lower in most time in scaffold-grafted groups.

WITHDRAWN: Endothelial progenitor cells deliver exogenous miR-126 via exosomes to accelerate wound healing in diabetes mellitus.

Humeral lengthening and proximal deformity correction with monorail external fixator in young adults.

Purpose: Several humeral lengthening or simultaneous deformity corrections through one osteotomy using various external fixators were reported, while literature regarding correction of shortening and proximal varus deformity is scarce. This retrospective clinical study evaluated the results of preforming an acute correction and delayed lengthening in young adults through two osteotomies using monorail external fixator.

Methods: We report seven patients with various pathologies who underwent humeral proximal deformity correction and lengthening between 2009 and 2015.

Substitution urethroplasty for anterior urethral stricture repair: comparison between lingual mucosa graft and pedicled skin flap.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and outcomes of lingual mucosa graft (LMG) urethroplasty versus pedicled skin flap (PSF) urethroplasty in the repair of anterior urethral strictures.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study in one urological center examined 293 male patients with anterior urethral strictures who received substitution urethroplasty from 2006 to 2015. Of these, 199 patients received PSF urethroplasty and 94 received LMG urethroplasty.
