Recent evidence indicates that microRNAs might participate in prostate cancer initiation, progression and treatment response. Germline variations alter target gene expression modify the efficacy of therapy. To determine whether genetic variants microRNA sites are associated with risk biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP). We retrospectively studied two independent cohorts composed 320 Asian 526 Caucasian men pathologically organ-confined who had a median follow-up...
Purpose: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a type of tumor, especially the urinary bladder, that affects people worldwide.Clarification its detailed tumor biology and discovery potential targets for developing treatment strategies are imperative because frequent recurrences poor prognosis advanced UCs.By data mining published dataset UC bladder (UCB) transcriptome (GSE31684) from Gene Expression Omnibus, National Center Biotechnology Information (GEO, NCBI), we identified THBS2 was most...
Abstract Background Treatment failure following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) presents a significant challenge in the management of advanced prostate cancer. Thus, understanding genetic factors influencing this process could facilitate development personalized treatments and innovative therapeutic strategies. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway plays pivotal role controlling cell growth tumorigenesis. We hypothesized that variants within may affect clinical...
Summary Increased tracheal cuff pressure during mechanical ventilation is associated with reduced mucosal blood flow and ischaemia, as well postoperative sore throat. We assessed the potential effects of transoesophageal echocardiography probe insertion on in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Using a manometer, high‐volume, low‐pressure tube (inner diameter 7.0 mm for women 7.5 men) was adjusted to 25–30 cmH 2 O before blind probe. The changes were then recorded 1 min. After insertion,...
Abstract Single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNP s) within the regulatory elements of a gene can alter expression, making these s prime importance for candidate association studies. We aimed to determine whether such variants are associated with clinical outcomes in three cohorts patients prostate cancer. used Regulome DB identify potential based on silico predictions and reviewed genome‐wide experimental findings. Overall, 131 putative highest confidence score predicted functionality were...
Urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder and upper tract is prevalent. By subjecting a documented transcriptome data set urothelial (GSE31684) to mining focusing on genes linked peptidase activity (GO:0008233), we recognized C1S as most significantly upregulated gene related an advanced tumor status metastasis. We subsequently analyzed association both mRNA its encoded protein expression with clinical pathological significance.We used real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain...
This article reports the current evidence and expert opinions on patient-centered bladder management of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) among chronic spinal cord injured (SCI) patients in Taiwan. The main problems with SCI-NLUTD are failure to store, empty, or both. should be prioritized as follows: (a) preservation renal function, (b) freedom from infection, (c) efficient emptying, (d) indwelling catheters, (e) patient agreement management, (f) avoidance medication after...
Background: Quality of life (QoL) often is impacted after radical prostatectomy (RP) procedures. Although patients' QoL scores gradually improve RP, changes in the score over time different RP procedures must be examined. Objective: The aim this study was to compare prostate cancer patients who were treated with open (ORP) or laparoscopic (LRP) Methods: A longitudinal design used. convenient sample 67 recruited (ORP = 34, LRP 33). assessed at 1, 3, and 6 months using University California,...
Backgroud: Increasing evidence suggests the involvement of chronic inflammation in progression prostate cancer, and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), also known as cyclooxygenase-2, catalyzes rate-limiting steps pathway. We hypothesized that genetic variants PTGS2 can influence outcome cancer patients.We genotyped five haplotype-tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to detect common variations across region 458 patients treated with radical prostatectomy.One SNP,...
Purpose: This study compared the perioperative parameters and early functional outcomes between robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) laparoscopic (LRP) at a urological center. Materials Methods: Between January 2006 May 2017, 242 patients underwent endoscopic (LRP for 208 cases; RARP 34 cases). Patients who were followed up > 12 months included in study. Propensity score-matched groups of LRP or created based on age, body mass index, history diabetes mellitus, smoking, preoperative...

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) is a challenging technique that associated with steep learning curve. We describe novel to develop bladder neck traction using Foley catheter during extraperitoneal LRP enhance dissection, thereby improving patient and procedural outcomes. The employed four-trocar approach prostatectomy, which involved the introduction of 1-0 Vicryl suture into space an Endo Close needle pull up tip make prominent. From June 2006 November 2012, clinicopathological...
