Conservative Management and Safe Discontinuation of Continuous Antibiotic Prophylaxis in a Child With an Ectopic Ureterocele: An Eight-Year Follow-Up Case Report and Literature Review Open
An ectopic ureterocele is a rare congenital anomaly often managed surgically due to risks of urinary tract infections (UTIs), hydronephrosis, and renal impairment. Yet there is no consensus on selecting surgical or conservative observation…

NAA10 gene expression is associated with mesenchymal transition, dedifferentiation, and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma Open
In ccRCC, NAA10 expression was shown to be a negative prognostic factor related to tumor progression rather than tumor initiation, and high NAA10 expression promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition and undifferentiation.
