Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell line, NCHi027-A, from a female child with Posterior Cloaca (Type B)

Stem Cell Research
Cloaca is an ultra-rare severe anorectal malformation in females where the gastrointestinal, genital, and urologic systems converge. Posterior Cloaca (Type B) is an extremely rare specific variant, where the urogenital sinus opens just anterior to the ...

Renal tubular epithelial cells add value in the diagnosis of upper urinary tract pathology [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Diagnosis of upper urinary tract infections (UTI) is challenging. We evaluated the analytical and diagnostic performance characteristics of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) and transitional epithelial cells (TECs) on the Sysmex UF-5000 ...

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell line, NCHi028-A, from a male child with Prune Belly Syndrome

Stem Cell Research
Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare, multi-system congenital myopathy mainly affecting males, whose genetic basis is still being explored. Phenotypically, its morbidity spans from mild to lethal, and PBS cases manifest three cardinal pathological ...

Virulence behavior of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains in the host model Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

, 2018
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Although a number of bacteria can cause UTIs, most cases are due to infection by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).

PPARγ promotes urothelial remodeling during urinary tract obstruction

Experimental and Molecular Medicine
Urinary tract obstruction (UTO) is a common cause of kidney injury that can result in chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Heterogeneity in the extent of obstructive renal damage in humans with UTO implies the existence of unknown ...

Epidural Analgesia Decreases Narcotic Requirements in Low Level Spina Bifida Patients Undergoing Urologic Laparotomy for Neurogenic Bladder and Bowel [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose Concern of anatomical anomalies and worsening neurologic symptoms has prevented widespread use of epidural catheters in patients with low level spina bifida (LLSB). We hypothesize that thoracic epidural placement in the T9-T10 interspace is safe
