BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Ileal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the potential impact of years of education, which serves as a measure of socioeconomic inequality, on the occurrence of endometriosis, and to quantify the potential influence of modifiable factors as mediators. METHOD…

BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) represents the terminal stage of various cardiovascular disorders, with immunogenic cell death (ICD) potentially influencing HF progression through modulation of immune cell activity. This study aimed to ident…

BACKGROUND: Ureteral reimplantation plays a crucial role in distal ureteral reconstruction, and the integration of robotic systems has greatly enhanced minimally invasive surgical techniques. This pilot study aims to evaluate the technicall…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous ureteral rupture is a rare and emergent urological entity, with limited literature guiding its diagnosis and management. Its non-specific presentation can lead to delayed recognition, posing risks of severe complicat…

Oral administration facilitates the direct delivery of drugs to lesions within the small intestine and colon, making it an ideal approach for treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease. However, multiple physical barriers impede the …

BACKGROUND: The KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system is a new surgical robot recently developed in China. The aim of this study was to present our single-center experience and mid-term outcomes of urological procedures using the KD-S…

Apatinib has been recently identified as a potential treatment option for osteosarcoma (OS). Nonetheless, the molecular mechanism of Apatinib in regulating OS progression remains unclear. To explore the downstream molecules that mediated th…

There is a controversy about whether endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) might represent a different entity from the corresponding ovarian cancer occurring de novo, in the absence of endometriosis. This study investigated the cli…

Many ovarian tumors, including high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), show clear cell change. Accurate diagnosis is important, however, as ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is known to be less responsive to traditional types of ovarian cance…

BACKGROUND: More than two-thirds of women who undergo surgery for suspected ovarian neoplasm do not have cancer. Our previous results suggest phospholipids as potential biomarkers of ovarian cancer. In this study, we measured the serum leve…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of P on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression in human endometrial epithelial cells. DESIGN: Laboratory-based study. SETTING: University-based research institute. PATIENT(S): None. INTERVENTION(S): Th…
