Summary: By sequencing genes in 15 UTUC patients treated by RNU, it was found that the majority of patients had a clonal relationship between UTUC and subsequent UCB, supporting the idea that UCBs following UTUC surgery are primarily clonally derived recurrences.

Summary: The study found that patients who underwent radical nephroureterectomy for upper urinary tract urothelial cancer after radical cystectomy experienced poor overall survival and cancer-specific survival, with most surgeries being performed for locally advanced tumors. Independent risk factors for worse survival included UTUC T stage, presence of metastasis, and male gender.

Summary: The study revealed significant genomic differences and carcinogenesis prevalence between UTUC and UCB, with differences in mutational landscape and driver genes. This suggests the necessity for site-specific management of patients with urothelial carcinoma. Mutational signatures could serve as screening tools for clinical differential diagnosis between UTUC and UCB.

Summary: This study investigated the latency period between AA exposure and UTUC development and found that the risk of UTUC decreased after the ban on AA in Taiwan. The latency periods of UTUC varied with age, the dose of AA exposure, and sex, with 9 years for middle-aged women and 8 years for middle-aged men with moderate AA exposure.

Summary: Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare but aggressive malignancy occurring in the renal pelvis or ureter. UTUC is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to non-specific symptoms and the lack of early biomarkers. However, microRNAs (miRNAs) show promise as novel biomarkers for optimizing the diagnosis and prognosis of UTUC.

Summary: Kidney-sparing procedures for low-risk upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) have become elective indications. Ureterorenoscopy (URS) is commonly used for diagnosis and treatment, but it carries a higher risk of bladder seeding. This review examines the importance and scientific evidence for chemoprophylaxis after URS.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of non-invasive tests in the diagnosis of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Among the 10,084 screened publications, 25 were included in the analysis. Most of the studies had small sample sizes and heterogeneous control groups. Voided urinary cytology was the most commonly used test, with low sensitivity and good specificity. Fluorescence in situ hybridization in diagnostic cytology showed higher sensitivity and similarly good specificity. Other urine or blood tests had limited research and varied results. Currently, there is a lack of high-quality data confirming the effectiveness of non-invasive tests in the diagnosis of UTUC.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated 86 patients diagnosed with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and found that single-position complete retroperitoneoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (SCRNU) is an efficient technique for UTUC treatment. The SCRNU group had shorter operating time, fewer perioperative complications, less postoperative pain, lower recurrence rate, and cheaper medical expenditure compared to the traditional retroperitoneoscopic nephroureterectomy (TRNU) group.

Summary: This study showed that among patients with MIBUC undergoing TURBT followed by CCRT for bladder preservation, current smokers with smoking-related COPD had significantly worse survival outcomes compared to nonsmokers without COPD. Additionally, hospitalization frequency for COPD with acute exacerbation within 1 year before CCRT was strongly associated with higher mortality in these patients.

Summary: Urothelial carcinomas (UC) arising from different locations, such as the bladder and upper urinary tract, may have similarities and differences that question treating them as a single oncologic entity. Future investigations should prioritize understanding the tumor biology of both bladder and upper urinary tract UC to determine when treatment standards for bladder UC can be applied to upper urinary tract UC.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance of Xpert(R)-BC-Detection and Bladder-Epicheck(R)-test in the detection of upper urinary tract tumors (UTUC) and compared them with cytology and Urovysion(R)-FISH test. The results showed that Bladder-Epicheck(R) and Urovysion(R)-FISH, combined with cytology, could be helpful ancillary methods for the diagnosis of UTUC while Xpert(R)-BC-Detection had limited usefulness due to its low specificity.

Results showed that detecting SLNs in the upper urinary tract is possible yet challenging, with only 2 out of 19 cases detecting SLNs. Most cases did not show lymphatic outflow.

Summary: The study found an inverse relationship between plasma selenium levels and RCC, while a direct relationship was observed between red blood cell cadmium levels and RCC. Low plasma selenium levels may interact with high total urinary arsenic levels or high red blood cell cadmium concentration to increase the risk of RCC. The multiplicative interaction between low eGFR and high red blood cell cadmium concentration may further increase the risk of RCC.

Summary: This modeling study examines the effectiveness of different screening strategies, contact tracing, and the severity of novel epidemic outbreaks for various population sizes. The study finds that universal testing has limited impact on reducing COVID-19 cases when rigorous contact tracing and symptomatic screening are implemented. However, contact tracing and symptomatic screening are effective in reducing cases by identifying subclinical cases.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between global DNA methylation marker 5-methyl-2-deoxycytidine (5mdC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and investigate the possible modifying effects of plasma folate and vitamin B-12 levels on this association. The study found that higher 5mdC (%) and plasma folate and vitamin B-12 levels were associated with a decreased risk of RCC. Additionally, low plasma folate levels and low 5mdC (%) were associated with a greater odds of RCC compared to controls, as well as low plasma folate levels and high blood cadmium levels.

Summary: The high incidence of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in Taiwan is largely due to exposure to aristolochic acid (AA), a principal component of Aristolochia-based herbal medicines. Studies have shown that AA-induced UTUC is associated with higher risks of renal failure and distinctive genetic mutations and DNA adducts. Clinically, AA-related UTUC patients exhibit younger age, female gender, impaired renal function, and a higher recurrence rate of contralateral UTUC.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
