Downregulated androgen receptor expression in preputial tissues of children with hypospadias

Frontiers in Pediatrics
PurposeTo resolve conflicting evidence on androgen receptor (AR) expression in hypospadias, we compared preputial AR levels between affected children and controls.MethodsForty patients with isolated hypospadias (age 2.9 ± 0.79 years, range 1.6–5.2 years)

An overview of the postcranial osteology of caecilians (Gymnophiona, Lissamphibia)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Caecilians comprise a relatively small (~220 species) group (Gymnophiona) of snake‐like or worm‐like, mostly tropical amphibians. Most adult caecilians are fossorial, although some species may live in aquatic or semi‐aquatic environments, either as larvae or adults.

The dynamic cellular and molecular features during the development of radiation proctitis revealed by transcriptomic profiling in mice

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Radiation proctitis (RP) is the most common complication of radiotherapy for pelvic tumor. Currently there is a lack of effective clinical treatment and its underlying mechanism is poorly understood.

Low-Frequency Intravesical Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Acute Urinary Retention: A Promising Therapeutic Approach

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Acute urinary retention (AUR) is a troublesome urological disease, which causes various lower urinary tract symptoms. However, only few studies explored and evaluated the effective treatments to improve AUR. We aimed to find an effective approach to cure

New craniodental materials of Falcarius utahensis (Theropoda: Therizinosauria) reveal patterns of intraspecific variation and cranial evolution in early coelurosaurians

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

BAF53A drives colorectal cancer development by regulating DUSP5-mediated ERK phosphorylation

Cell Death and Disease, 2022
BAF53A, an important subunit of the SWI/SNF epigenetic chromatin regulatory complex, has been implicated as the driver of diverse cancers. However, the role of BAF53A in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains poorly understood.

The coelurosaur theropods of the Romualdo formation, early Cretaceous (Aptian) of Brazil: Santanaraptor placidus meets Mirischia asymmetrica

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The upper carbonate concretion levels of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian, Brazil) have yielded several theropod dinosaur remains, including spinosaurids and the coelurosaurs Santanaraptor placidus and Mirischia asymmetrica, the phylogenetic affinities of which are controversial.

Intimate communications within the tumor microenvironment: stromal factors function as an orchestra

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2023
Extensive studies of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in the last decade have reformed the view of cancer as a tumor cell-centric disease. The tumor microenvironment, especially termed the "seed and soil" theory, has emerged as the key determinant in ...

Grooved Surface of the Obturator Internus Muscle With Two Distinct Adjacent Parts

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific anatomical features of the obturator internus, particularly those of its medial surface, remain insufficiently characterized. This study investigated the morphology of the obturator internus muscle by focusing on the shape of its medial surface and potential age‐related changes.

Medium- to long-term outcomes of vaginally assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in the treatment of stage III–IV pelvic organ prolapse

BMC Women's Health, 2022
Background Vaginally assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (VALS) refers to the placement of synthetic meshes through the vagina in addition to traditional laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
