Of these ten patients, oral mucosa graft was used in nine and preputial graft in one to augment the urethra. this website At median follow-up of 50.5months (IQR 26.5), 80% (8/10) of patients demonstrated durably patent urethra, with no recurrence of fistula.

The Asopa technique is an established option for augmenting urethral caliber for urethral stricture disease. We demonstrate in our series that this technique can be applied to patients with urethrocutaneous fistulae.

It is unclear which time-points of intradialytic blood pressure (BP) best predict prognosis. Thus, it is important to assess the association between different time-points of intradialytic BP and prognosis in clinical practice.

We recruited patients who underwent hemodialysis from January 2014 to June 2014. Data about dialysis were collected, including intradialytic BP. Cox regression analysis was performed to examine the association between different time-points of intradialytic BP and clinical events, with a follow-up through December 31, 2019. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality.

A total of 216 patients were recruitedand 62 (30.7%) patients died (6.1 per 100-person year)during the follow-up. Intradialytic SBP varied greatly in fatalities. this website Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models indicated that the adjusted hazard ratio for death was 1.80 and 5.06 when intradialytic systolic blood pressure (SBP) variation was analyzed in increments of 20mmHg. Furthermore, we divided intradialytic SBP variation into three categories < 15mmHg, 15 ~ 30mmHg,  ≥ 30mmHg. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality increased significantly for patients with intradialytic SBP variation over 30mmHg (P = 0.006 and 0.021). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models indicated that the adjusted hazard ratio for death was 3.78 and 12.62 as intradialytic SBP variation ≥ 30mmHg vs. intradialytic SBP variation < 15mmHg.

Intradialytic SBP variation, rather than BP of specific intradialytic time-points, has the potential to predict long-term mortality in hemodialysis patients. BP stability is crucial for patients' prognosis.

To present our initial experience and evaluate the feasibility of the novel technique of completely intracorporeal laparoscopic "reverse 7" ileal ureteral replacement (IUR).

Between December 2018 and September 2019, two patients underwent completely intracorporeal laparoscopic "reverse 7" IUR, which were female patients with bilateral extensive ureteral strictures (BEUS) secondary to radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection for cervical cancer and postoperative radiotherapy. link= this website Antegrade pyelography and retrograde pyelography showed BEUS preoperatively.

The novel technique was performed successfully by the same surgeon without conversion to open surgery. The operating time of each patient was 420min and 410min, respectively. link2 link2 Meanwhile, the estimated blood loss of each patient was 120ml and 100ml, respectively. There were no major complications during the perioperative period. After ureteral stent was removed, antegrade pyelography postoperatively revealed excellent drainage with the resolution of hydronephrosis in both patients. After removing of ureteral stent and nephrostomy tube, no patients have a complaint about the donor site or the onset of flank pain.

To our knowledge, we present the initial experience with completely intracorporeal laparoscopic "reverse 7" IUR. With initial follow-up outcomes, this novel minimally invasive technique appears to be feasible and efficacious in treating BEUS in carefully selected patients.

While use of carvedilol in patients on hemodialysis is encouraged with its low dialyzability, evidence supporting its superiority over metoprolol in improving the blood pressure control during dialysis is lacking. This study was undertaken to study the blood pressure variations in the peridialytic period after conversion from metoprolol to carvedilol.

In this this prospective, pre-post intervention study, patients on metoprolol were converted to carvedilol. Patients aged 18-65years on biweekly dialysis with intradialytic rise in blood pressure difference between pre- and post-dialysis systolic blood pressure > 10mmHg with post-dialysis blood pressure of ≥ 130/80mmHg were recruited. The recorded blood pressure data post conversion to carvedilol was compared to the retrospective mean blood pressure recordings during metoprolol use.

Of the 48 subjects, the study mostly comprised young males (n-34, mean age- 37.06 ± 14.32years). Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures at different time periods (prein dialysis patients with poorly controlled peridialytic blood pressures. Carvedilol was well tolerated.
Functional vein end to arterial side (ETS) anastomosis uses vein side to arterial side (STS) anastomosis with distal vein ligation, which can achieve similar effects as those of ETS after STS anastomosis. The purpose of the study was to provide a meta-analysis to compare the clinical outcomes between traditional and functional ETS anastomosis in radiocephalic fistula for dialysis access.

Databases including PubMed, EMbase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang database were searched from the inception to February 6, 2020. Eligible studies comparing traditional and functional ETS anastomosis in radiocephalic fistula were included. Data were analyzed using Review Manager Version 5.3.

Seven studies were included in the meta-analysis. Five randomized controlled trials and two cohort studies involving 841 patients were identified. Compared with traditional ETS anastomosis, functional ETS anastomosis had shorter anastomosis time (MD -9.54, 95% CI -17.96 to -1.12, P = 0.03), higher surgical success rate (OR 3.80maturation time and 1-month patency rate.
Clinical classification of hyperuricemia (HUA) could help to guide therapy of HUA. Studies on the classification of HUA with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are rare. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the classification of HUA with CKD.

A cross-sectional study of 428 CKD patients was conducted, including 218 HUA patients. By correlation analysis, the association of 24-h urinary uric acid (24-h Uur), uric acid clearance rate (Cur), the urinary uric acid excretion per kilogram of weight per hour (Eur) and fractional excretion of uric acid (FEur) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was analyzed in the HUA and non-HUA groups. According to Eur combined with Cur and the 24-h Uur combined with FEur, HUA with CKD was classified into underexcretion, renal overload, combined and 'normal' types, which were also stratified by CKD stages.

According to the Eur and Cur, in early CKD (eGFR ≥ 60mL/min/1.73m
), the underexcretion type accounted for 83.75%, and the renal overload type accounted for 2.5%. As the CKD stage increased, the proportion of the underexcretion type increased. According to the 24-h Uur and FEur, in early CKD, the underexcretion type accounted for 53.75%, and the renal overload type accounted for 15%. With increasing CKD stages, the proportion of the 'normal' type increased significantly.

Different uses of Eur with Cur or 24-h Uur with FEur varied significantly in classifying HUA patients with CKD. Eur + Cur may be more applicable to the classification of HUA patients with CKD, and further research is needed.

Previous studies have indicated that platelet indices are related to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). link3 However, it is unclear which platelet-related indicators are associated with CVD events in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) without dialysis.

We performed a single-center prospective cohort study involved 1391 CKD patients to explore the relationship between platelet indices and CVD events in CKD patients. link3 A nomogram was generated to predict CVD-free survival after 3 and 5years of follow-up in terms of the fitted Cox regression model. And the time-dependent receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to evaluate the prediction accuracy of platelet indices on CVD events.

During a median follow-up of 3.41years, 211 (15.2%) patients experienced CVD events. Results showed that platelet counts (PLT), plateletcrit (PCT), platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR), and platelet distribution width (PDW) among 5 platelet indices were significantly lower in advanced CKD stages. Cox regression model showed that PLT, PDW, and PCT were associated with CVD events. However, after multivariable-adjusted, low level of PLT, hazard ratio (HR) 0.994 and 95% confidence interval (95% CI 0.989-1.000, p = 0.04), and PDW, HR 0.936 (95% CI 0.878-0.998, p = 0.044) predicted CVD events. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of platelet indices assessed by time-dependent ROC curve analysis showed that only PLT and PDW were significant for predicting CVD events for 5years.

We demonstrated that PLT and PDW among 5 platelet indices were independently associated with CVD events in patients with CKD.

To evaluate the prognosis of patients with pT1 bladder cancer who underwent en bloc resection of bladder tumors (ERBTs), stratified by invasion to the muscularis mucosa (MM) level.

Among 64 specimens obtained by ERBT with bipolar energy from patients with pT1 bladder cancer, MM was detected in 61 specimens. Thus, 61 specimens were included in this retrospective study. Patients were stratified by invasion to the MM level (pT1a, invasion above the MM level; pT1b, invasion within the MM level; and pT1c, invasion beyond the MM level). In specimens with discontinuous MM, invasion to the MM level was predicted from the dispersed MM in the specimen. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS).

Progression occurred in 2/39 patients with pT1a (5.1%), 1/6 patients with pT1b (16.7%), and 6/16 patients with pT1c cancer (37.5%). Cancer death occurred in 1/39 patients with pT1a (2.6%), 0/7 patients with pT1b, and 3/16 patients with pT1c cancer (18.8%). Patients with pT1a or pT1b cancer had a significantly better prognosis than those with pT1c cancer. On univariate analysis, tumor size ≥ 3cm and pT1c were significantly associated with shorter PFS. On multivariate analysis, only pT1c was independently associated with shorter PFS.

This is the first study evaluating the prognosis by T1 substaging based on invasion to the MM level using ERBT specimens. ERBT provided high-quality specimens for diagnosing the MM and showed poor prognosis in pT1c bladder cancer. ERBT could be an appropriate surgical approach for an accurate diagnosis and prognosis of the T1 bladder cancer substage.
