BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition in men, and many patients refractory to conservative treatment may undergo penile prostheses (PPs) placement. The primary concern following PP implantation is device infection. Although antibiotic and hydrophilic coatings have reduced the incidence of inflatable PP (IPP) infections, there remains room for improvement. Optimization of PP outcomes requires a practical in vivo model to better understand mechanisms of infection and to test new infection control strategies...

In men with impaired semen parameters, empiric medical therapies such as clomiphene citrate, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), and anastrozole, a selective aromatase inhibitor, are often employed. The effects of jointly administering these agents on semen parameters are not well understood. Here, we describe the findings of our multi-center, retrospective cohort study of men with idiopathic primary or secondary infertility. Twenty-one men were treated with combination therapy (anastrozole and clomiphene) and 69 men were treated with monotherapy (anastrozole)...

BACKGROUND: EH-2090 is Mindray's new-generation fully automatic urine formed element analyzer (hereinafter referred to as EH-2090). Currently, there are no studies on EH-2090, so we evaluated the analytical and clinical performance of this instrument to verify that it can meet daily clinical needs, and used manual microscopy as a reference method. METHODS: The analytical performance of the EH-2090 was first evaluated for repeatability, linearity, reproducibility, and carryover...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is increasing worldwide. Hemodialysis (HD) is the mainstay of renal replacement therapy for patients with ESKD. Risk factors associated with late arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure in HD patients are poorly investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify factors associated with late AVF failure in HD patients. METHODS: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent forearm or upper arm AVF angioplasty at Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between September 2009 and August 2018 were included...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity that is described in several organ systems. This comprehensive review aims to identify IMTs occurring at various genitourinary (GU) organ sites and describe patterns of clinical management in adult and pediatric patients.

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Jeffrey Loh-Doyle
This article provides a comprehensive discussion of 3-piece inflatable penile implant surgery when performed through an infrapubic approach in patients presenting with challenging anatomy or corporal fibrosis. The infrapubic approach is one of the primary approaches for inflatable device placement with excellent long-term functional outcomes. While the literature is rich in descriptions of infrapubic placement in the primary, uncomplicated setting, its role in the management of complex patients presenting to centers of excellence is less elucidated...

REVIEW

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Basic semen analysis is the first step in the evaluation of male infertility. It includes an assessment of sperm morphology which is believed to reflect on overall spermatogenesis and sperm function. Teratozoospermia, defined as abnormal sperm morphology, is frequently present in association with severe oligoasthenozoospermia, but isolated teratozoospermia (in the presence of normal counts and motility) is a poorly understood clinical entity with conflicting implications in terms of fertility potential and treatment strategies...

BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer (BC) is a urological tumor which can be associated with a poor prognosis. Aging is a crucial factor in cancer development, but the role and prognostic value of aging-related genes (ARGs) in BC are unclear. METHODS: In this study, with reference to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, a 5-gene signature model was constructed for the analysis of BC prognosis, immune microenvironment, and immunotherapy response. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and univariate Cox regression analyses were applied...

REVIEW

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The vulva is the external portion of a gender-affirming vaginoplasty or vulvoplasty procedure-the "visible" result of surgery. The vulvar appearance can play a major role in how individuals feel about their surgical results and new genital anatomy. Therefore, optimizing the aesthetics of the vulva is an important component of surgical care. Although there is no one "ideal" vulvar appearance, aesthetics are optimal when each major sub-unit of the vulva is reconstructed to create a proportional and cohesive vulvar unit...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) necessitated a transition to virtual education which limits hands-on opportunities and student engagement. To adapt, a pilot study investigating clay modeling as an alternative educational tool for medical students was incorporated in a virtual and in-person sub-internship for prospective urology applicants. We aim to review the literature supporting the use of clay modeling in medical education as well as describe our experience with the activity as a way to engage trainees and evaluate early surgical skills...

BACKGROUND: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common subtype of RCC. Although targeted therapy can provide superior treatment outcomes, it is prone to drug resistance, and individual responses to immunotherapy vary greatly. Therefore, finding new diagnostic and therapeutic targets for RCC is of considerable importance. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) GPRC5D-AS1 can serve as a biomarker in clinical applications and the prognosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma. However, the specific mechanism of action of lncRNA GPRC5D-AS1 in RCC has not yet been clarified...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and erectile dysfunction (ED) are well established diagnoses within Men's Health, often more specifically within the prostate cancer survivorship cohort. Taken individually, well defined treatment algorithms exist with which many surgeons are comfortable; however, treatment of both in a single setting or staged fashion introduces complexity. Emerging treatment options also exist, and there is immature or minimal data when these are combined with inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) insertion, radiation history, and/or variable degrees of incontinence...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: With the emergence of immunotherapy and targeted therapies, there are more options for the perioperative period management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), and various types of clinical studies are emerging, leading to the need to explore ways to choose the optimal treatment modality. This review aims to synthesize past and present treatment modalities and to explore future trends in the perioperative period cares of MIBC for the benefit of clinical practitioners...

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the first-line treatment for large renal stones. However, multi-tract or staged procedures may be necessitated in bilateral or anatomically-complex stones to achieve stone clearance. Endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) integrates the advantages of PCNL and retrograde intrarenal surgery. In this article, we detail a hybrid surgical technique adopted for the management of complex simultaneous bilateral upper urinary tract stones...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) progresses with age and is associated with chronic inflammation. We focused on the relationship between BPH and ganglioside monosialodihexosylganglioside (GM3), a sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipid that is involved in chronic inflammation. GM3 molecular species would have a significant role in regulating inflammatory processes. In this prospective study, preoperative and postoperative serum samples were obtained from patients who underwent holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for BPH...
