Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is involved in the metabolic activation of various carcinogens. CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI polymorphism has been identified in urologic cancer patients, while studies of the polymorphism have shown inconclusive trends in the risk of urologic cancers. Therefore, we performed this systematic review to provide a complete picture and conducted a meta-analysis to derive a precise ...

The recent introduction of radioisotopic technique to measure bladder emptying flow rate&` has prompted a resurgence of interest in the topic. Since no comprehensive description of bladder emptying flow rate (as a function of bladder volume) has been discussed in the literature, we present such an approach in this communication. The topic is of general interest since radioisotopic methods provi...

the overall rate of atrial pacing lead dislodgement is estimated to be about 3%. these leads are generally repositioned via a second operation through opening the pacemaker pocket. some operators have introduced percutaneous techniques using snare system or deflectable catheters for this purpose. in this article we present our experience with five cases of percutaneous lead repositioning. three...

Neural stem cells were first applied to the urological field through intraspinal transplantation for the recovery of voiding dysfunction in provocative animal research [1], which was then developed further by many researchers in collaboration with several stem cell technologies. Extraordinary interest currently exists in the treatment of degenerative neuronal and bone diseases. This has been ge...
