Lithium (Li) metal is recognized as a promising anode material for rechargeable batteries primarily due to its high specific capacity and energy density. However, major challenge persists in uncontrolled Li electrodeposition irregular solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation during cycling, leading premature cell failure safety hazards. Herein, an artificial SEI presented with tailored lithiophilicity solvent-phobicity address these critical issues. As model system the SEI, series of...
Testicular microlithiasis (TM) is an uncommon pathologic condition that commonly diagnosed by scrotal ultrasonography. Indirect evidence suggests this syndrome may be associated with increased risk of testicular malignancy and infertility.A total 1,439 patients undergoing ultrasound during a 6-year, 5-month period (January 2003 to May 2009) were retrospectively reviewed. Any possible association TM findings was assessed. Among TM, further grading cancer semen analysis the infertile group...
Purpose: To evaluate the significance of preoperative and follow-up neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) as prognostic factors for recurrence in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (NMCCRCC). Materials Methods:We retrospectively reviewed medical records 309 NMCCRCC who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy.The various clinicopathological variables, NLR (pNLR) PLR (pPLR), at quasi-recurrence (rNLR rPLR) recurrence-free survival (RFS) was...
To evaluate the clinical usefulness of expandable metallic stents for maintenance dilated nasolacrimal sac and duct, double were implanted under fluoroscopic guidance in seven patients with severe epiphora after failed balloon dacryocystoplasty. Stents constructed 0.25-mm stainless steel wire a cylindrical zigzag configuration 10 bends. A single stent was 4 mm diameter when fully expanded long. The placed accurately all but one patient, whom second removal dislodged hemostat endoscopic...
To investigate the incidence, clinical features, pathogenic bacteria, and risk factors associated with acute prostatitis after transrectal prostate biopsy.We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 923 ultrasound-guided needle biopsies in 878 patients performed at our institution from June 2004 to May 2009. The indications for biopsy were generally serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) elevation, abnormal findings on a digital rectal examination, or both. All patient hospitalized except...
Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic significance of depth lamina propria invasion in primary T1 transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) bladder.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records 183 patients with TCC bladder who had undergone transurethral resection (TUR) at our institution.Substaging was defined according to as follows: T1a, superficial propria; T1b, into muscularis mucosa (MM); T1c, beyond MM but not propria.The various clinicopathological variables for...
The aim of this study was to investigate the association preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) elevation and thrombocytosis with prognosis patients non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).This a retrospective review medical records 177 (130 men 47 women) RCC who underwent radical nephrectomy between March 2000 May 2008 for whom CRP platelet data were available analysis. Preoperative compared clinical pathological variables.There 38 11 thrombocytosis. mean follow-up time 48.3 months...
In vivo rat kidney tissue metabolites of an anticancer drug, cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum [II]) (CP) which is used for the treatment testicular, ovarian, bladder, cervical, esophageal, small cell lung, head and neck cancers, have been identified characterized by using liquid chromatography positive ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) in combination with on line hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) experiments. To identify metabolites, tissues were...
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) as a prognostic factor in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (RCC).Materials and methods Between June 1994 July 2012, 469 RCC underwent radical or partial nephrectomy at two hospitals. Among these patients, 65 non-clear type histology 16 lymph-node distant metastasis were excluded. medical records remaining 388 retrospectively reviewed. mGPS calculated using selective...
Superficial bladder transitional cell carcinoma has a high recurrence rate following endoscopic resection. Most parameters used to predict are associated with grade carcinoma. However, there few valid for predicting low recurrence. We elucidated the prime factor in recurrent superficial carcinoma.A total of 40 cases were analyzed, including 20 and nonrecurrent cases. Fresh frozen tumor normal tissues used. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction Western blots performed...
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics following maximal androgen blockade (MAB) on disease progression and cancer-specific survival in patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.Materials Methods: One hundred thirty-one cancer treated MAB at our institution were included this study.Patients' characteristics, PSA initiation, nadir, time to nadir (TTN), decline analyzed by using univariate multivariate analysis.Results: At a median...
Objectives To analyse actual long‐term medical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH ) and compare the incurred cost with that patients who underwent early surgery. Patients methods were first diagnosed from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2010 identified using Clinical Data Warehouse. Hospital billing data generated by electronic hospital management system collected until 2015. For outpatient care, only procedures, materials drugs directly related selected for analysis. inpatient...
To identify predictive factors for developing subsequent bladder urothelial carcinoma (UC) in patients undergoing radical nephroureterectomy the treatment of upper urinary tract UC (UUT-UC).We retrospectively reviewed medical records 78 with clinically localized UUT-UC who had undergone operation at our institution between June 1994 and December 2009. Univariate multivariate analyses were carried out to determine factors.Out a total patients, 14 (17.9%) developed after median interval 10...
Triolein emulsion infusion into the carotid artery has been reported to induce temporary and reversible opening of blood-brain barrier by increasing vascular permeability.To evaluate effect triolein on brain permeance anticancer agents.In doxorubicin study. 2.4 mg/kg was injected immediately after (1%, 1.5%, 2%) rabbit arteries. Two hours later, bilateral hemispheres eyeballs were harvested, concentrations measured fluorometrically. Doxorubicin ratios ipsilateral/contralateral compared with...
A sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography positive ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric (LC/ESI‐MS/MS) method has been developed validated for the quantitative determination distribution of cisplatin (CP) in kidney liver tissues after intravenous administration drug to adult male Sprague Dawley rats. Oxaliplatin (OXP) was used as an internal standard. The tissue samples were homogenized extracted using conventional liquid–liquid extraction with phosphate buffer containing...
This study aimed to investigate the relationship of caveolin-1 expression with prognosis in patients transitional cell carcinoma upper urinary tract (TCCUUT). Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections TCC-UUT from 98 patients, who had undergone radical nephroureterectomy, were stained immunohistochemically using antibodies against caveolin-1. The pattern caveolin- 1 was compared clinicopathological variables. significantly correlated T stage (p<0.001) and grade (p=0.036). survival...
Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major cause of hepatic failure after liver surgery, but no method could monitor or predict it real-time during surgery. We measured bioelectrical impedance (BEI) cell viability to assess the usefulness BEI I/R in rat liver. A 70% partial ischemia model was used. at various frequencies. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, palmitic acid oxidation rate were measured, histological changes observed order quantify viability. changed significantly low...
Cubilin (cubn) is a receptor for vitamins and various protein ligands. Cubn lacks transmembrane domain but anchors to apical membranes by forming complexes with Amnionless or Megalin. In an effort better understand the uptake of nutrients in testis, we analysed cubn expression developing mice testes. testes, mRNA increased from birth adulthood. inter-stitium isolated seminiferous tubules, neonatal increase until 14 days post-partum (pp) was followed marked at puberty (28 pp). found...
