Insulin inhibits ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial apoptosis through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Survivin is a key regulator of anti-apoptosis against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. increases survivin expression in cardiac myocytes to mediate cytoprotection. However, mechanism by which mediates protective effect insulin doxorubicin-associated injury remains be determined. In this study, we demonstrated that pretreatment H9c2 with resulted significant decrease apoptotic cell death...
Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) reduces the limited invasiveness of conventional laparoscopy while providing superior cosmetic results. However, LESS remains a challenging surgical technique, even in robotic surgery, primarily due to lack triangulation and instrument movement. The da Vinci SP system (Intuitive Surgical) was recently introduced overcome these limitations. We describe our initial experience with pure robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) for ureteropelvic junction...
This study aims to develop and implement an economic evaluation using a micro-costing approach provide precise transparent analysis of the direct costs cystoscopic procedures in Korean hospitals. The seeks identify key cost components evaluate whether current reimbursement rates accurately reflect these costs. Significant variations items were identified across different studies. An was conducted methodology for procedures, developed through literature review, data collection from studies,...
Purpose: We compared the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of single-port robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (S-RALP) using da Vinci SP ® system conventional multi-port (M-RALP) in pediatric patients.Materials Methods: Multi-port have been performed patients our institution since October 2015 February 2019, respectively.We conducted an entire cohort comparison.Considering learning curve M-RALP, we defined last 15 cases M-RALP as a subgroup this with S-RALP patients.Results:...
The da Vinci SP® robotic system enables three double-jointed wristed instruments and a fully three-dimensional camera to be placed through single port. This study presents our experience with robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction using the SP reports its outcomes. Between December 2018 April 2022, surgeon performed in 39 patients: 18 underwent pyeloplasty 21 received reimplantation. Demographic perioperative patient data were collected analyzed. Radiographic symptomatic improvements...
Sunitinib is a first-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Little known about the predictive factors of sunitinib-induced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in Asian populations. We investigated whether body composition predicts DLT. retrospectively reviewed sunitinib-treated Korean patients with clear mRCC from eight institutions. Body was measured using computed tomography. DLT defined as any adverse event leading to dose reduction or discontinuation. Univariate analysis...
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is often encountered in patients with a horseshoe kidney (HSK) and may require surgical intervention. This study retrospectively investigated causes HSK UPJOs to determine the most suitable method.Twenty UPJO who underwent pyeloplasty between July 2000 June 2020 were followed-up for more than six months our institution included study. The clinical characteristics, causes, outcomes analyzed.The median age at time of operation was 4.1 years...
Background: it has been reported that many peripheral vasodilating drugs might improve insulin resistance. Cilostazol, a antithrombotic agent, increases blood flow in non-insulin dependent diabetic patients. The effect of cilostazol treatment on resistance streptozotocin (STZ)-induced Wistar rats was examined. Methods: About half two-day old neonate siblings were injected intraperitoneally with STZ and maintained for six months, at which time they compared age-matched control intraperitoneal...
We investigated whether the use of a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5i) after robot assited radical prostatectomy has survival benefit over non-use patients because there are controversial results on association between PDE5i and outcomes for prostate cancer in literature.We designed retrospective, matched, large-sample cohort study 5,545 who underwent assisted (RARP) during 2013-2021 single institute. The exclusion criteria was were aged >70 years at surgery, American Society...
Bladder urothelial carcinoma typically occurs in individuals their sixties or seventies: it rarely persons <20 years old. Moreover, young patients, bladder lesions are reported to be solitary and nonmuscle invasive, with low malignant potential. However, 13% of this age group noninvasive high-grade papillary but these extremely rare children <15 years. There is no specific consensus regarding treatment adolescent. In particular, method has been suggested for follow-up carcinoma. Therefore we...
Purpose In young patients with varicocele, preservation of the internal spermatic artery may be advantageous for catch-up growth, but it also increase likelihood treatment failure. Intraoperative venography reduces that unsealed veins will remain after varicocelectomy. We analyzed characteristics remnant visualized through intraoperative to investigate cause surgical failure in artery-sparing varicocelectomy (ASV). Materials and methods retrospectively clinical outcomes aged 18 years or...
Bladder cancer has a high recurrence rate which requires frequent follow-up. Cystoscopy is currently the gold standard for follow-up invasive and undesirable procedure patients. We aimed to investigate feasibility of noninvasive studies non-muscle bladder cancer. This retrospective study was done patients with abnormal lesion at follow up cystoscopy, therefore those needed transurethral resection tumor (TUR-BT). Inclusion criteria who had preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within...
