Abstract

We evaluated the effectiveness of small intestine submucosa in ureteral reconstruction. We report an experimental study in 6 female pigs weighing between 50 and 60 pounds. The animals were anesthetized, midline laparotomy was performed and two-thirds of the diameter of the upper third of the left ureter were incised parallel to the ureteral axis, leaving intact only a third of the ureteral wall for a segment of 7 cm. A 5Fr double-J*; stent was positioned to secure patency at all times. The created gap was then bridged with an small intestine submucosa patch in a cylindrical format, which was subsequently sutured to the proximal and distal ureteral segment. The right ureter served as our control and simple intubated Davis ureterotomy was performed. All animals survived the whole followup of 7 weeks. Histologically there was evidence of epithelial regeneration along the segments reconstructed with small intestine submucosa, supported by a well vascularized collagen and smooth muscle background. There was no evidence of foreign body reaction to the graft material. In vivo patency was confirmed by retrograde pyelography in the bridged ureters 7 weeks after the initial procedure. All the ureters without an small intestine submucosa ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
