Urinary Tract
Abstract
The goals of this study were to characterize urine-derived stem cells obtained from the upper urinary tract (uUSC), induce these cells to differentiate into urothelial and smooth muscle cells, and determine whether they could serve as a potential stem cell source for bladder tissue e...

Abstract
We report that insertion of the ND into the cloaca is an unrecognized but crucial step that is required for proper positioning of the ureter and that depends on Ret signaling. Analysis of Ret mutant mice at birth reveals hydronephrosis and defective ureter maturation, abnormalities that our results...

Abstract
We investigated ATP release from uroepithelial cells infected with bacteria and the effect of ATP on the host cell proinflammatory interleukin 8 (IL-8) response. The human kidney epithelial cell line A498 and the human uroepithelial cell line UROtsa were grown in culture and stimulated by the uropat...

Abstract
During a 10-year period of the present study, 35 new cases of urinary tract TB were diagnosed, with a male/female ratio of 1.3:1 and a common age group of 31-40 years. 34.3% of the patients were farmers. The most presenting symptoms were polyuria, dysuria and acidic urinary pH with pyuria. 80% ofthe...

Abstract
We tested whether urinary CD80 excretion might distinguish between patients with MCD from those with FSGS. Urinary CD80 was measured in 17 patients with biopsy-proven MCD and 22 with proven FSGS using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and its molecular size determined by wes...

Abstract
We screened 11 inbred mouse strains for reflux and kidney size and identified one strain, C3H/HeJ, that has a 100 percent incidence of vesico-ureteric reflux with otherwise normal kidneys at birth. These mice are predisposed to reflux as a result of a defective uretero-vesical junction characterized...

Prenatal Diagnosis (30)7 2010
Abstract
Fetal diagnosis prompts the question for fetal therapy in highly selected cases. Some conditions are suitable for in utero surgical intervention. This paper reviews historically important steps in the development of fetal surgery. The first invasive fetal intervention in 1963 was an intra-uterine bl...

Anorectal malformations (ARMs) and Hirschsprung disease (HD) are the most common congenital colorectal defects in the newborn. The outcomes of HD and ARMs have improved significantly because of improved understanding of the pathologic anatomy and physiology of these defects and of the modern surgica...

Abstract
The human urinary tract represents an impressive mechanical barrier against infection. Its immediate anatomical proximity to the gastrointestinal tract predisposes it to invasion and infection by enteric bacteria. Thus the immune system of the urinary tract represents an essential and powerful means...

Abstract
Normal lower urinary tract function consists of voiding and storage. During voiding, the pontine micturition reflex center orders the sacral parasympathetic nucleus to increase parasympathetic activity, resulting in urinary bladder detrusor contraction via activation of post-synaptic muscarinic rece...

Of the 31,380 patients with pelvic fractures, 1,444 had GUI. Men more commonly sustained pelvic fractures with GUI than women (66.14% vs. 33.86%). The incidence of urogenital, bladder, and urethral injuries for men and women was 5.34%, 3.41%, 1.54%, and 3.62%, 3.37%, 0.15%, respectively. Patients wi...
