Article Abstract
A 49-year-old man was referred to our department with profuse serous fluid discharge from a Penrose drain after undergoing internal fixation with metal screws for multiple pelvic bone fractures. A definite ureteral penetration was identified that was orientated from the lateral to the medial aspect of the right distal ureter. The patient was surgically treated with excision of the 2-cm injured ureteral segment, end-to-end ureteroureterostomy, and double J ureteral stent placement. To our knowledge, a penetrating ureteral injury caused by bone drilling has not been reported previously in the published literature. This case shows that surgeons who do pelvic surgery, including orthopedic surgeons, should be familiar with the anatomical relationship of the ureter and its potential injuries.

This study evaluates the consistency between intrarenal pelvic pressures (IPP) and intracaliceal pressures (ICP) and explores the impacts of irrigation flow rate (IFR) and ureteral access sheath (UAS) position on ICP using a novel Flexible Ureteroscope Pressure Measurement System. Six pigs with 12 kidneys were included in this study under general anesthesia. The IPP and ICP were measured using the Flexible Ureteroscopic Pressure Measurement System under varying UAS positions and IFRs.

Inflammatory diseases are a major source of morbidity and mortality world-wide, the pathogenesis of which are characterised by the interplay of key pro-inflammatory and oxidative enzymes. Here, we report the development of a small molecule dual inhibitor targeting vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), two clinically relevant pro-inflammatory/oxidative enzymes that play complementary pathogenic roles in various inflammatory diseases. This agent, SNT-8370 [(E)-3-(3-((2-(aminomethyl)-3-fluoroallyl)oxy)benzyl)-2-thioxo-1,2,3,7-tetrahydro-6H-purin-6-one)], irreversibly inhibits VAP-1 and MPO activity with equivalent and enhanced nanomolar potency, respectively, when compared to benchmark clinical VAP-1 and MPO inhibitors.

With the advancement of modern ureteroscopes and laser technology, kidney-sparing surgery(KSS)has an expanding role for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC), although radical nephroureterectomy remains the gold standard. Patients with UTUC are generally elderly and often have major medical comorbidities. As such, KSS is recommended for patients with imperative indications, such as bilateral disease, renal insufficiency, or a solitary kidney, while maintaining renal function, resulting in the avoidance of potential long-term cardiovascular morbidity and hemodialysis.

This study provides a comprehensive investigation of antimicrobial additives (ZnO/AgNPs and SiO/AgNPs) on the properties of biodegradable ternary blends composed of poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) by examining the morphology, thermal stability, crystallinity index, and cell viability of these blends. Overall, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed that AgNPs and SiO exhibited comparable sizes, whereas ZnO was significantly larger, which influences their release profiles and interactions with the blends. The addition of antimicrobials influences the rheology of the blends, acting as compatibilizers by reducing the intermolecular forces between biopolymers.
