The urologic epithelial stem cell database (UESC) – a web tool for cell type-specific gene expression and immunohistochemistry images of the prostate and bladder

Laura E. Pascal, Eric W. Deutsch, David Campbell et al. · 1 Dec 2007

BACKGROUND: Public databases are crucial for analysis of high-dimensional gene and protein expression data. The Urologic Epithelial Stem Cells (UESC) database http://scgap.systemsbiology.net/ is a public database that contains gene and protein information for the major cell types of the prostate, prostate cancer cell lines, and a cancer cell type isolated from a primary tumor. Similarly,…

Risk factors for kidney stone disease recurrence: a comprehensive meta-analysis

Kai Wang, Jing Ge, Wenlong Han et al. · 19 Apr 2022

BACKGROUND: Kidney stone disease (KSD) is a common illness that causes an economic burden globally. It is easy for patients to relapse once they have suffered from this disease. The reported recurrence rate of KSD ranged from 6.1% to 66.9%. We performed this meta-analysis to identify various potential risk factors for the recurrence of KSD.…

Antimicrobial peptides of the Cecropin-family show potent antitumor activity against bladder cancer cells

H. Suttmann, Margitta Retz, Friedrich Paulsen et al. · 3 Mar 2008

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the cytotoxic and antiproliferative efficacy of two well-characterized members of the Cecropin-family of antimicrobial peptides against bladder tumor cells and benign fibroblasts. METHODS: The antiproliferative and cytotoxic potential of the Cecropins A and B was quantified by colorimetric WST-1-, BrdU- and LDH-assays in four bladder cancer cell lines as well as…

Normal kidney size and its influencing factors - a 64-slice MDCT study of 1.040 asymptomatic patients

Bernhard Glodny, Verena Unterholzner, Bernadette Taferner et al. · 1 Dec 2009

BACKGROUND: Normal ultrasound values for pole-to-pole kidney length (LPP) are well established for children, but very little is known about normal kidney size and its influencing factors in adults. The objectives of this study were thus to establish normal CT values for kidney dimensions from a group of unselected patients, identify potential influencing factors, and…

Cool and menthol receptor TRPM8 in human urinary bladder disorders and clinical correlations

Gaurav Mukerji, Y. Yiangou, Stacey L. Corcoran et al. · 6 Mar 2006

BACKGROUND: The recent identification of the cold-menthol sensory receptor (TRPM8; CMR1), provides us with an opportunity to advance our understanding of its role in the pathophysiology of bladder dysfunction, and its potential mediation of the bladder cooling reflex. In this study, we report the distribution of the cool and menthol receptor TRPM8 in the urinary…
