Self‐Propelled In Situ Polymerized Nanoparticles Activating the STING Pathway for Enhanced Bladder Cancer Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A self‐propelled nanomedicine delivery system forms DMCU nanoparticles in the bladder via in situ polymerization of dopamine hydrochloride, Mn2+, cGAMP, and urease. The urease‐driven propulsion enhances retention and drug delivery. These nanoparticles activate the STING pathway, stimulating dendritic cells and T cells to boost anti‐bladder cancer ...

Are β3‐adrenoceptor gene polymorphisms relevant for urology?

open access: yesNeurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 33-39, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Aims β3‐adrenoceptors (ARs) are an important drug target for the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and are under investigation for other indications. The human β3‐AR gene is polymorphic; an exchange of amino acid tryptophan (Trp) for arginine (Arg) in position 64 of the receptor protein is the most frequent and best‐studied ...

Effect of autonomic nervous system resection extent on urinary dysfunction in robotic rectal cancer surgery

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In rectal cancer surgery, this study examined the risk factors for urinary dysfunction and the effect of autonomic nervous system resection extent on urinary dysfunction. Autonomic nervous system resection and lateral lymph node dissection were independent risk factors for urinary dysfunction.
