RESUMO

Objective: To assess the outcomes of redo laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RLP) in pediatric patients with recurrent ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in contrast to redo open pyeloplasty (ROP). In addition, evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of RLP as a treatment modality for recurrent UPJO in children. Materials and Methods: The data of 44 patients from March 2012 to March 2022, who underwent redo pyeloplasty, were retrospectively reviewed. In Group RLP, the children underwent RLP, whereas ROP was attempted in Group ROP. Demographics, clinical manifestations, surgical duration, hospitalization duration, complication rates, and treatment success were examined within the respective groups. Moreover, preoperative and postoperative measurements of anterior-posterior diameter of the renal pelvis (APD), preoperative assessment of differential renal function (DRF), and the percentage of improvement in DRF (PI-DRF) were subject to analysis. Results: The study included 28 patients who underwent RLP (Group RLP), and 16 patients who underwent ROP (Group ROP). In all cases, the Anderson-Hynes technique was employed. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding age, body mass index, gender distribution, affected side, preoperative APD, postoperative APD, and preoperative DRF. In comparison to Group ROP, Group RLP exhibited a shorter hospitalization duration, a longer surgical procedure duration, and a higher percentage improvement in PI-DRF. The median follow-up period for Group RLP was 25 months, whereas it was 25.5 months for Group ROP. Notably, the success rates were similar between the two groups, with a success rate of 89.2% in RLP and 87.5% in ROP (p = 0.634). Conclusion: RLP has a comparable success rate to ROP and is a safe, effective, and feasible procedure for the treatment of failed pyeloplasty in children.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir (LLG) and transvesicoscopic Cohen reimplantation (TCR) in the treatment of vesicoureteral junction obstruction (VUJO) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 66 pediatric patients with VUJO and VUR. They were classified into two groups, undergoing either the laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir operation (LLGO) (n = 35) or transvesicoscopic Cohen reimplantation operation (TCRO) (n = 31). The surgeries were performed between April 2018 and September 2022 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, China. General characteristics, preoperative attributes, postoperative complications, renal function recovery, and improvement of hydronephrosis were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: All surgical procedures were successful with no requirement for reoperation. Both groups were comparable with respect to gender, affected side, weight, and postoperative complications. Nonetheless, the LLGO group contained a greater number of children younger than 12 months. The LLGO group demonstrated superiority over the TCRO group regarding the duration of the operation, intraoperative blood loss, and length of postoperative hospital stay. In contrast, postoperative complications, recovery of renal function, and hydronephrosis improvement did not exhibit statistically significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Both LLGO and TCRO were demonstrated to be precise, safe, and reliable surgical methods for treating pediatric VUJO and VUR. LLGO ureteral reimplantation offers particular advantages in selecting cases and appears more suitable for children younger than 12 months who have a small bladder capacity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dysregulated apoptosis of penile mesenchymal cells during male urethragenesis has been previously demonstrated to underly hypospadiac urethral closure failure, and androgen receptor (AR) has been shown to play a central role in regulating penile mesenchyme cell proliferation and survival. However, the regulatory mechanisms upstream and downstream of AR remain poorly understood. Our clinical data and bioinformatics analysis previously indicated that hsa_circ_0000417, a circRNA significantly downregulated in hypospadias preputial specimens, may act as a ceRNA for AR via sequestering hsa_miR-6756-5p, and that the biological functions of hsa_circ_0000417 may significantly involve the PI3K/AKT pathway. In this study, we employed human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF-1) to experimentally validate this putative hsa_circ_0000417/miR-6756-5p/AR axis and its impact on penile mesenchymal cell proliferation and apoptosis. METHOD AND RESULTS: We showed that hsa_circ_0000417 knockdown significantly promoted proliferation and suppressed apoptosis of HFF-1 cells. Mechanistically, hsa_circ_0000417 functioned as a molecular sponge for miR-6756-5p in HFF-1 cells and relieved the latter's translational repression on AR mRNA, leading to decreased AKT activation and increased expression of pro-apoptotic proteins BAX and cleaved-caspase 9. Conversely, elevated levels of miR-6756-5p resulted in diminished AR expression concomitant with enhanced AKT activation and HFF-1 cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, our data describe for the first time a circRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism of AR and its functional consequences in penile mesenchymal cells in the context of hypospadias. These findings may contribute to advancing our current understanding of the roles of AR and mesenchymal cell fate decisions during penile morphogenesis.

RESUMO

Background: Proximal hypospadias with severe chordee is still a formidable challenge for most pediatric urologists, and the treatment approach remains controversial. Here, we describe a modified two-stage technique to repair proximal hypospadias with severe chordee. Methods: We retrospectively identified 53 children referred for proximal hypospadias with severe chordee from July 2016 to July 2019, who underwent a two-stage urethroplasty. In group 1, the children were repaired with staged tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty, while Byars' two-stage urethroplasty was attempted in group 2. We corrected chordee by releasing all remaining attachments to the corpora after degloving the penis, transceting the urethral plate, and dorsal plication. The mean age of patients in the first stage of surgery was 26.6 months in group 1 and 24.8 months in group 2. Postoperative complications in the two groups included: fistula, urethral stricture, urethral diverticulum, and glanular dehiscence. Results: A total of 20 cases were repaired with staged TIP urethroplasty (group 1), and 33 cases were repaired with Byars' two-stage urethroplasty (group 2). The length of follow-up in group 1 was 39.8 ± 10.1 months, and in group 2, it was 38.1 ± 8.7 months (P > 0.05). After the second stage of surgery, 1 case (5%) in group 1 and 11 cases (33.3%) in group 2 developed a urinary fistula (P < 0.05). One case (5%) in group 1 and three cases (9.1%) in group 2 had urethral stricture (P > 0.05). All strictures were cured by repeated dilation, and no patient required reoperation. No cases in group 1 and one case (3%) in group 2 had urethral diverticulum (P > 0.05). There was no residual chordee in both groups. Two cases (10%) in group 1 and 13 cases (39.3%) in group 2 required reoperation (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Staged urethroplasty is appropriate to repair proximal hypospadias with severe chordee. Particularly, staged TIP urethroplasty is a good choice for patients with proximal hypospadias and severe chordee, especially those with better penile development, wider urethral plate, larger glans, and deeper navicular fossa of the urethra.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Congenital hypospadias is a common congenital malformation of the urinary system in male children. However, the role of circRNA in congenital hypospadias remains unknown. METHODS: Differentially expressed circRNAs and mRNAs were identified by RNA sequencing. GO and KEEG analysis were performed to uncover the key function and pathways. The interaction networks were constructed and analyzed by competing endogenous (ce)RNA analysis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and qRT-PCR were used to detect the expressions of androgen receptor (AR) and hsa_circ_0000417 in normal and hypospadias tissues. Further, the correlation between hsa_circ_0000417 and other clinical indicators were calculated. RESULTS: Compared with normal foreskin tissues, 1329 circRNAs and 978 mRNAs were significantly upregulated, 3176 circRNAs and 614 mRNAs were significantly downregulated in hypospadias tissues, respectively. MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways play important roles in congenital hypospadias. The expression of AR and hsa_circ_0000417 in 68 hypospadias tissues was significantly lower than that in 68 normal foreskin tissues (P < 0.05). The expression of the AR, as analyzed using IHC, was consistent with the qPCR results. A significant correlation was noted between the expression of AR and hsa_circ_0000417 in 68 clinical samples (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the expression level of hsa_circ_0000417 was associated with the incidence of other diseases and the location of the hypospadias site (P < 0.05). Expression of hsa_circ_0000417 was significantly downregulated in hypospadias patients without other diseases (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Hsa_circ_0000417 may regulate the expression of AR, and the expression of hsa_circ_0000417 in normal foreskin tissues is associated with the occurrence of hypospadias.
