To address difficulty in isolating the adhered periarterial vein in microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy, we introduced the transfixing microsuture method as well as to evaluate the impact of this technical modification on the surgical success of varicocele repair.We retrospectively evaluated 4 patients with a mean age of 31.5 years who underwent subinguinal varicocelectomy with transfixion of...
To compare the clinical value of single B-mode ultrasonography and B-mode combined with color Doppler ultrasonography in the guidance of mini-invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (m-PCNL) to decrease the incidence of hemorrhagic complications.A total of 297 patients with renal stones who had undergone m-PCNL were retrospectively categorized into 2 groups. Group 1 (187 patients) underwent m-PCNL with...
To determine the systemic response to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and mini-PCNL (MPCNL) and evaluate whether MPCNL is less invasive than PCNL, as experimental studies suggest that the acute-phase reaction is proportional to surgery-induced tissue damage.In all, 165 consecutive patients who had undergone MPCNL (93) or PCNL (72) were prospectively assessed. Blood samples were collected 24 hours...
To determine whether it is necessary to perform bilateral varicocelectomy (BV) in infertile men with left clinical and right subclinical varicoceles by comparing the outcomes of BV with those of left varicocelectomy (LV) in these patients.A total of 104 infertile men with left clinical and right subclinical varicoceles were randomly divided into 2 groups: BV (n = 51) and LV (n = 53). Both BV and LV...
To investigate whether silencing of p21-activated kinase 6 (PAK6) would inhibit prostate cancer growth and to assess the effect of PAK6 silencing when used in combination with docetaxel. PAK6 is a serine/threonine kinase belonging to the PAK family and has been implicated in cell motility, apoptosis, and transformation.Expression of PAK6 in PC-3, DU145, and LAPC4 prostate cancer cell lines was knocked...
