    Abstract Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed solid malignancy in men. African American (AA) men are at greater risk for developing prostate cancer, and experience higher mortality rates, as compared with Caucasian American men. However, mechanistic studies to understand this health disparity have been limited by the lack of relevant
    Significance: Cells derived from prostatectomies of AA patients conferred a bimodal cellular phenotype, recapitulating clinical prostate cellular complexity in this model cell system. Comparisons of viability responses of tumor derived to normal epithelial cells offer the potential for screening therapeutic drugs. Therefore, these paired prostate epithelial cell cultures provide an

    Abstract Purpose: Radiotherapy is a curative therapeutic modality used to treat cancers as a single agent or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. Advanced radiotherapy technologies enable treatment with large fractions and highly conformal radiation doses to effect free-radical damage to cellular DNA leading to cell-cycle arrest, cell death, and innate immune response (IIR) stimulation.
    Experimental design: To understand systemic clinical responses after radiation exposure, proteomic and metabolomic analyses were performed on plasma obtained from patients with cancer at intervals after prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy. Pathway and multivariate analyses were used to delineate molecular alterations following radiotherapy and its correlation with clinical outcomes.
    Results: DNA damage response increased within the first hour after treatment and returned to baseline by 1 month. IIR signaling also increased within 1 hour of treatment but persisted for up to 3 months thereafter. Furthermore, robust IIR and metabolite elevations, consistent with an early proinflammatory M1-mediated innate immune activation, were observed in patients in remission, whereas patients experiencing prostate serum antigen-determined disease progression demonstrated less robust immune responses and M2-mediated metabolite elevations.
    Conclusions: To our knowledge, these data are the first report of longitudinal proteomic and metabolomic molecular responses in patients after radiotherapy for cancers. The data supports innate immune activation as a critical clinical response of patients receiving radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Furthermore, we propose that the observed IIR may be generalized to the treatment of other cancer types, potentially informing multidisciplinary therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.

    Abstract Objective: To describe a new technique for repairing traumatic testicular ruptures using readily available graft material.
    Materials and methods: Surgical management of testicular rupture is often associated with loss of testicular parenchyma because of tissue debridement and concerns of pressure-related ischemia. We present our experience with 3 cases using a novel technique using extracellular matrix graft materials for the reconstruction of tunica albuginea in patients with testicular rupture. We describe a case using bovine pericardium (Neovasc Inc, Richmond, British Columbia) and 2 cases using cadaveric dermis (Coloplast Inc, Minneapolis, MN) to repair complex testicular defects without debridement of extruded testicular parenchyma.
    Results: No postoperative complications occurred in any of the patients. Long-term follow-up at 18 months for one patient revealed good cosmetic results, with radiographic findings confirming testicular integrity and flow.
    Conclusion: The use of graft material in the repair of testicular rupture helps prevent the loss of testicular parenchyma through a tension-free closure leading to excellent cosmetic and radiographic outcomes.

    Abstract Purpose: To present our experience with robot-assisted simple prostatectomy in patients with large gland adenoma (>100 g) that would not be amenable to transurethral treatments.
    Patients and methods: From August 2009 to May 2011, 13 robot-assisted simple suprapubic prostatectomies were performed in patients with symptomatic large gland (>100 g) prostatomegaly on transrectal ultrasonography (mean 163 cc). Essential aspects of our technique include a transverse cystotomy just proximal to the prostatovesical junction and use of a robotic tenotomy grasper to aid in adenoma dissection.
    Results: Mean operative time was 179 minutes (range 90-270 min), and mean estimated blood loss was 219 mL (range 50-500 mL). Mean hospital stay was 2.7 days (range 1-8 d), and the mean urethral catheterization time was 8.8 days (range 5-14 d). None of the patients needed blood transfusion. One patient had an intraoperative urinary leak after bladder closure that was managed with prolonged urethral catheterization (14 d). Histopathologic analysis confirmed benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in all patients, and mean specimen weight on pathologic examination was 127 g (range 100-165 g). Mean follow-up duration was 7.2 months with all patients having a minimum of a 4-month follow-up. Significant improvements were noted in the International Prostate Symptom Score (preoperative vs postoperative 18.1 vs 5.3, p<0.001) and the maximum urine flow rate (preoperative vs postoperative 4.3 vs 19.1 mL/min, P<0.001).
    Conclusions: Minimally invasive robot-assisted simple prostatectomy is technically feasible in patients with large volume (>100 g) BPH and is associated with significant improvements in obstructive urinary symptoms. Surgeons with robotic expertise may consider using this approach for treatment of their patients with large volume BPH.

    Abstract Patients presenting with prostate cancers undergo clinical staging evaluations to determine the extent of disease to guide therapeutic recommendations. Management options may include watchful waiting, surgery, or radiation therapy. Thus, initial risk stratification of prostate cancer patients is important for achieving optimal therapeutic results or cancer cure and preservation of quality of life. Predictive biomarkers for risks of complications or late effects of treatment are needed to inform clinical decisions for treatment selection. Here, we analyzed pre-treatment plasma metabolites in a cohort of prostate cancer patients (N = 99) treated with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) at Medstar-Georgetown University Hospital in a longitudinal, quality-of-life study to determine if individuals experiencing radiation toxicities can be identified by a molecular profile in plasma prior to treatment. We used a multiple reaction mass spectrometry-based molecular phenotyping of clinically annotated plasma samples in a retrospective outcome analysis to identify candidate biomarker panels correlating with adverse clinical outcomes following radiation therapy. We describe the discovery of candidate biomarkers, based on small molecule metabolite panels, showing high correlations (AUCs ≥ 95%) with radiation toxicities, suitable for validation studies in an expanded cohort of patients.

    Abstract Although significant progress has been made during the last 3 decades in the minimally invasive surgical management of stone disease, the medical prevention of urolithiasis still remains challenging as much less progress has been achieved during the same time period. The purpose of this article is to provide the practicing urologist with practical guidelines for the metabolic evaluation and management of the recurrent stone patient. The recommendations are based on the latest available information regarding the pathogenesis, medical treatment options, and decision-making rationale when managing these challenging patients.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine the current practice patterns in the use of ablation technology for the management of small renal masses at academic centers in the United States.
    Methods: An email survey was sent to 112 academic urologists subspecializing in minimally invasive management of renal cancer. The survey consisted of 13 questions and 4 clinical scenarios pertaining to the use of ablation technology. The responses were then tabulated and analyzed to determine practice trends.
    Results: The overall response rate was 62%. Ablation was offered by 93% of the academic urology centers and cryoablation was more frequently used (79%) than radiofrequency ablation (55%). Lack of sufficient efficacy data was the most prevalent reason (80%) for not offering ablation. The maximum size limit for offering ablation was 4 cm by 55% and 3 cm by 34% of the respondents. A collaborative approach using both radiologist and urologist was most commonly used (51%). Most urologists (68%) used both laparoscopic and percutaneous technique, depending on the tumor and adjacent organ location. Intraoperative ultrasound was universally used during the laparoscopic technique and was usually performed by the urologist (95%). Computed tomographic scan was the most frequently used imaging modality for percutaneous ablation (78%) and for surveillance of recurrent disease (81%). In a younger, healthy patient, most urologists recommend extirpative approach for the management of a small renal mass, whereas laparoscopic-assisted ablation was most commonly recommended for an elderly patient with comorbidities.
    Conclusions: Our survey suggests that laparoscopic and percutaneous ablation is offered by the majority of academic centers for carefully selected patients.

    Abstract We report the first known case of anuric renal failure after same-session bilateral atraumatic flexible ureteroscopy for renal calculi. Although, there is no consensus about stenting patients who undergo same-session bilateral ureteroscopy due to the lack of prospective randomized studies; strong consideration should be given to stenting the ureter at least one side to avoid this complication.
