Can a graft be placed over a flap in complex hypospadias surgery? An experimental study in rabbits

International Brazilian Journal of Urology
Purpose: To develop a rabbit experimental study to test the hypothesis that surgical repair of hypospadias with severe ventral curvatures might be completed in one stage, if a graft, such as buccal mucosa, could be placed over the tunica vaginalis flap ...

Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell–Derived Exosomes Attenuate Renal Fibrosis by Suppressing Fibroblast Activation via the INHBA/PI3K/AKT Pathway

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
MSC‐Exo derived from human umbilical cord (HucMSC‐Exo) downregulates INHBA expression, consequently modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling cascade. This regulation attenuates renal fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix deposition, thereby exerting a renoprotective effect against fibrosis.

MicroRNA‐130a‐3p Targets the Androgen‐Related Transcription Factor MAFB: Effects on Proliferation, Migration, Apoptosis, and Cell Cycle in Hypospadias

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
MicroRNA‐130a‐3p targets and inhibits MAFB expression, leading to the development of hypospadimas. MicroRNA‐130a‐3p inhibits the expression of MAFB, disrupts the normal processes of cell proliferation, migration, cell apoptosis, and cycle progression, and ultimately leads to the development of hypospadias.

Primary BPH Stromal Cell Cultures Exhibit Heightened Androgen‐Responsiveness

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common disease in aging males. BPH growth is androgen‐dependent, and it appears that androgens preferentially stimulate the growth of BPH as compared to normal prostate. The mechanism of preferential androgen stimulation of BPH growth is not clear.

Catechins and Their Effect on the Gut Microbiome in Health and Cancer

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catechins are a group of flavonoids found primarily in green tea, fruits, and berries; they play a significant role in the modulation of the gut microbiota, thereby having an impact on gut health and cancer prevention. Owing to their low bioavailability, catechins are transformed by the gut microbiota into various bioactive metabolites such as

The Role of Vaginal Oestrogen Therapy in Postmenopausal Women With Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Does It Have Any Impact on Perioperative Outcomes? A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects up to 50% of postmenopausal women, negatively impacting sexual function and quality of life. While surgery remains the primary treatment, increasing attention has been given to perioperative vaginal oestrogen therapy and its potential impact on surgical outcomes.
