Open AccessUtilizing patient-specific 3D printed kidney surgical guide with realistic phantom for partial nephrectomy
Partial nephrectomy has been demonstrated to preserve renal function compared with radical nephrectomy. Computed tomography (CT) is used to reveal localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, marking RCC dir...

Biopsy-detected Gleason grade 5 tumor is an additional prognostic factor in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
A Gleason score ≥ 8, metastatic tumor burden, and visceral metastasis are known prognostic factors for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Notably, however, these indicators hav...

Percent tumor volume vs American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system subclassification for predicting biochemical recurrence in patients with pathologic T2 prostate cancer
Here, we re-checked the American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th edition subclassification and confirmed the possibility of percent tumor volume as a prognostic factor for biochemical recurrence in the 8th editi...

Intravesical epinephrine preserves uroplakin II expression in urinary bladder from cyclophosphamide-induced rat cystitis
We investigated the attenuated effect of intravesical epinephrine (EPI) on uroplakin II (UPII) expression in cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced rat cystitis. Sixty-eight Sprague-Dawley female rats were divided int...

Preservation of uroplakins by 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate in cyclophosphamide-induced rat cystitis
Cyclophosphamide (CP) causes extensive cystitis, which is ameliorated with concomitant treatment with mesna. We investigated the protective mechanisms of mesna in the expression of uroplakin (UP), a strong muc...
