Root of Prunus persica (taoshugen) ameliorated renal fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-β signaling via upregulating Pmepa1 in mice with unilateral ureter obstruction.

Journal of ethnopharmacology
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Various parts of Prunus persica (L.) Batsch (peach) exhibit medicinal properties and are utilized in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for therapeutic purposes. Notably, the root of P. persica, referred to as "taoshug...

Predicting complications after laparoscopic surgery for ureteropelvic junction obstruction using machine learning models: a retrospective cohort study.

World journal of urology
PURPOSES: Postoperative complications in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) negatively impact surgical outcomes and may necessitate redo surgery. We aimed to predict the occurrence of postoperative complications in these patients...

Key RNA-binding proteins in renal fibrosis: a comprehensive bioinformatics and machine learning framework for diagnostic and therapeutic insights.

Renal failure
BACKGROUND: Renal fibrosis is a critical factor in chronic kidney disease progression, with limited diagnostic and therapeutic options. Emerging evidence suggests RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are pivotal in regulating cellular mechanisms underlying fi...

Prediction of surgical necessity in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction using machine learning.

Irish journal of medical science
BACKGROUND: Hydronephrosis developing at the ureteropelvic junction due to obstruction poses clinical challenges as it has the potential to cause renal damage.

Unsupervised Machine Learning to Identify Risk Factors of Pyeloplasty Failure in Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction.

Journal of endourology
In adult patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), little data exist on predicting pyeloplasty outcome, and there is no unified definition of pyeloplasty success. As such, defining pyeloplasty success retrospectively is particularly v...

The learning curve of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children.

Journal of robotic surgery
To explore the learning curve of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in children. The clinical data, surgical information, and postoperative complications of consecutive cases of RALP performed by the same surgeon in Shanghai Children's Ho...

Robot-Assisted Ureteroplasty with Labial Mucosal Onlay Grafting for Long Left-Sided Proximal Ureteral Stenosis in Children and Adolescents: Technical Tips and Functional Outcomes.

Journal of endourology
To evaluate functional outcomes of robot-assisted ureteroplasty with labial mucosa grafting for long proximal ureteral stenosis (LPUS) in children and adolescents. Included in this study were 15 patients who underwent robot-assisted ureteroplasty w...

Pediatric Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty: Where Are We Now?

Current urology reports
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to provide an in-depth exploration of the recent advancements in robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) and its evolving landscape in the context of infant pyeloplasty, complex genitourinary (GU) anatomy, r...

Single port (SP) robotic pyeloplasty in a pediatric patient.

Journal of pediatric urology
We began using the da Vinci single port (SP) robot for pediatric urologic surgeries at our institution due to limited access to the multiport robot. Availability of this technology has allowed us to schedule cases in a timelier fashion and increase a...
