TREM2 in Macrophages Promotes Renal Fibrosis via Activation of β‐Catenin Signalling Pathway in Obstructive Nephropathy

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) promotes obstructive nephropathy progression by activating the β‐catenin signalling pathway, driving M2 macrophage polarisation, migration and fibrogenic gene expression. targeted inhibition of TREM2 thus represents a promising novel strategy against renal fibrosis.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

The Application of External Ureteral Catheters in Children With Acute Kidney Injury Caused by Ceftriaxone-Induced Urolithiasis

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Objective: To evaluate our use of external ureteral catheters in children with acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from ceftriaxone-induced urolithiasis.Methods: From July 2010 to June 2015, a series of 15 children, including 12 males and 3 females, were

Emergent versus delayed lithotripsy for obstructing ureteral stones: a cumulative analysis of comparative studies [PDF]

, 2017
Objective To analyze the current evidence on the use of ureteroscopy (URS) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for the management of obstructing ureteral stones in emergent setting. Methods A systematic literature review was performed up

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

Calcium Phosphate Composition Affects Ureteroscopic Laser Lithotripsy [PDF]

, 2016
The effects of stone composition on transurethral lithotripsy (TUL) have not been sufficiently elucidated. The purpose of this study was to identify how calcium phosphate stone composition impacts TUL.

A minor high‐grade component in non‐invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma is not associated with a more indolent behaviour

Histopathology, Volume 88, Issue 7, Page 1430-1442, June 2026.
Non‐invasive papillary urothelial carcinomas with minor high‐grade component are not associated with a more indolent behavior and should likely be regarded as high‐grade carcinomas. Aims The latest WHO edition proposed using a cut‐off of ≥5% high‐grade component (%HGc) as a criterion to label non‐invasive papillary urothelial carcinomas as high‐grade ...

URETERAL STRICTURE AFTER ESWL FOR URETERAL CALCULI

The Japanese Journal of Urology, 2003
There are many reports on the effects of ESWL, but few reports on the complications, especially remaining ureteral stricture after this treatment. Therefore we have retrospectively reviewed our cases to define the predisposing factors of this complication.Since 1991 we have treated urolithiasis with ESWL using a Siemens Lithostar for the first therapy.
