Tau, a microtubule-associated protein, has been investigated primarily in neurons. Recently, tau explored to be associated with increased drug resistance various kinds of cancers. We found that the was expressed prostate cancer cell lines DU145 and PC-3. also reported recurrent cells after docetaxel treatment have higher levels protein tau. In vitro, inactivation by gene knockdown suppressed proliferation sensitized cytotoxicity. Also, our results demonstrated PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway...

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, which are sensitive to oxidative stress due their anatomical and structural characteristics, play a complex role in the initiation progression of diabetic bladder neuropathy. We investigated hypothesis that antioxidant antiapoptotic effects CGRP may be partly related expression Nrf2 HO-1, via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway, thus reducing apoptosis responses. This study shows activates PI3K/AKT thereby inducing increased HO-1 resulting...

Diabetic cystopathy (DCP) is one of the most common complications diabetes mellitus (DM). A previous study reported that caffeine may improve bladder dysfunction in rats with DM. The aim present was to investigate mechanisms behind capacity for function Sprague Dawley were divided into four groups: control, caffeine, DM and plus treatment (DM + caffeine). Bladder measured by urodynamic analyses. levels nerve growth factor (NGF), brain‑derived neurotrophic (BDNF) calcitonin gene‑related...

Objective: To investigate the risk factors of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients undergoing flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy based on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Methods: The clinical data 243 kidney stone cases who underwent ERAS First Affiliated Hospital Wannan Medical College from January 2016 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. divided into two groups according whether they had SIRS surgery: group (26 cases) and non-SIRS (217 cases). age,...

Diabetic cystopathy (DCP) is a chronic complication of diabetes mainly within the submucosal and muscular layers bladder due to hyperglycemia-induced ischemia. As no effective therapies are currently available, administration optimized mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provides potential treatment DCP. Thus far, new strategy, such as genetic modification MSCs, has been developed shown promising outcomes various disorders. This study was conducted using integrin-linked kinase (ILK) gene-modified...

Management of non-neurogenic, non-obstructive dysuria represents one the most challenging dilemmas in urological practice. The main clinical symptom is increase residual urine. Voiding dysfunction cause or urinary retention, mainly due to decrease bladder contraction (the amplitude duration) outflow tract resistance.
