    Abstract Background: The natural course of polypoid lesions in the ureter during ureteroscopic stone surgery was not yet clarified.
    Methods: Patient data were collected prospectively from six teaching hospitals between 2019 and 2021. Patients with polypoid lesions in the ureter distal to ureteral stones were included during ureteroscopy. Computed tomography was performed on all enrolled patients three months after the procedure. Follow-up ureteroscopy was performed only if the patient consented, due to the need for general anesthesia and ethical considerations.
    Results: Among the 35 patients who were followed up, 14 had fibroepithelial polyps and 21 had inflammatory polyps. Twenty of the followed-up patients underwent ureteroscopy, and nine of them had fibroepithelial polyps. Although fibroepithelial polyps did not disappear in the follow-up ureteroscopy (p = 0.002), the rate of postoperative hydronephrosis was not higher in the fibroepithelial group than in the inflammatory group. Postoperative ureteral stricture and moderate-to-severe hydronephrosis were found to be closely related to the number of resected polyps, regardless of the type of polyp (p = 0.014 and 0.006, respectively).
    Conclusion: Fibroepithelial polyps in the ureter may persist after treatment of adjacent ureter stones. However, conservative management may be preferable to active removal of ureteral polyps because fibroepithelial polyps may not contribute to clinically significant hydronephrosis after surgery, and inflammatory polyps disappear spontaneously. Hasty resections of polyps may increase the risk of ureteral stricture.

    Abstract Purpose: Since renal pelvis pressure is directly related to irrigation flowrate and outflow resistance, knowledge of outflow resistance associated with commonly used drainage devices could help guide the selection of the type and size of ureteral access sheath or catheter for individual ureteroscopic cases. This study aims to quantitatively measure outflow resistance for different drainage devices utilized during ureteroscopy.
    Methods: With measured irrigation flowrate and renal pelvis pressure, outflow resistance was calculated using a hydrodynamic formula. After placement of a drainage device into a silicone kidney-ureter model, a disposable ureteroscope with a 9.5-Fr outer diameter was inserted with its tip positioned at the renal pelvis. Irrigation was delivered through the ureteroscope from varying heights above the renal pelvis. Renal pelvis pressure was measured directly from the port of the kidney model using a pressure sensor (Opsens, Canada). Outflow resistance was determined by plotting flowrate versus renal pelvis pressure. All trials were performed in triplicate for each drainage device inserted.
    Results: Flowrate was linearly dependent on renal pelvis pressure for all drainage devices tested. Outflow resistance values were 0.2, 1.1, 1.4, 3.9, and 6.5 cmH
    Conclusions: In this study, outflow resistance of different ureteral drainage devices was quantitatively measured. This knowledge can be useful when selecting which type and size of drainage device to insert to maintain safe renal pelvis pressure during ureteroscopy.

    Abstract To maintain visualization and control temperature elevation during ureteroscopy, higher irrigation rates are necessary, but this can increase intrarenal pressure (IRP) and lead to adverse effects like sepsis. The IRP is also dependent on outflow resistance but this has not been quantitatively evaluated in a biological system. In this study, we sought to characterize the IRP as a function of irrigation rate in an in vivo porcine model at different outflow resistances. Ureteroscopy was performed in a porcine model with a 9.5 Fr prototype ureteroscope containing a pressure sensor. A modified ureteral access sheath (UAS) (11/13 Fr, 36 cm) was configured to adjust outflow resistance. IRP-irrigation rate curves were generated at four different outlet resistances representing different outflow scenarios. At lower irrigation rates, the pressure change in response to increased irrigation was gradual and non-linear, likely reflecting a "compliant" phase of the renal collecting system. Once IRP reached the range of 35-50 cm H

    Abstract The mesophilic PETase from Ideonella sakaiensis (IsPETase) has been shown to exhibit high PET hydrolysis activity, but its low stability limits its industrial applications. Here, we developed a variant, Z1-PETase, with enhanced soluble protein yield and durability while maintaining or improving activity at lower temperatures. The selected Z1-PETase not only exhibited a 20-fold improvement in soluble protein yield compared to the previously engineered IsPETase

    Abstract Objective: To map thermal safety boundaries during ureteroscopy (URS) with laser activation in two in vivo porcine subjects to better understand the interplay between laser power, irrigation rate, and fluid temperature in the collecting system.
    Methods: URS was performed in two in vivo porcine subjects with a prototype ureteroscope containing a thermocouple at its tip. Up to 6 trials of 60 seconds laser activation were carried out at each selected power setting and irrigation rate. Thermal dose was calculated for each trial, and laser power-irrigation rate parameter pairs were categorized based on number of trials that exceeded a thermal dose of 120 equivalent minutes.
    Results: The collecting fluid temperature was increased with greater laser power and slower irrigation rate. In the first porcine subject, 25 W of laser power could safely be applied if irrigation was at least 15 mL/min, and 48 W with at least 30 mL/min. Intermediate values followed a linear curve between these bounds. For the second subject, where the calyx appeared larger, 15 W laser power required 9 mL/min irrigation, 48 W required 24 mL/min, and intermediate points also followed a near-linear curve.
    Conclusion: This study validates previous bench research and provides a conceptual framework for selection of safe laser lithotripsy settings and irrigation rates during URS with laser lithotripsy. Additionally, it provides insight and guidance for future development of thermal mitigation strategies and devices.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the physical properties and cytocompatibility of contemporary calcium silicate-based sealers. Four calcium silicate-based sealers (BrightEndo MTA sealer, CeraSeal, EndoSeal TCS and One-Fil) were compared to an epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus). Flow, setting time, radiopacity and dimensional change were evaluated according to ISO 6876 standards. Cytotoxicity on human periodontal ligament fibroblast (hPDLF) cells was compared for biological properties using MTT assay. The surface of the sealer was analysed using scanning electron microscopy to evaluate cell attachment. Flow and radiopacity of all sealers met ISO standards, while setting time and dimensional stability did not meet the ISO standards. Calcium silicate-based sealers showed favourable cytocompatibility, and hPDLF cells were well attached to the calcium silicate-based sealers. Calcium silicate-based sealers have clinically acceptable flow and radiopacity, and cytocompatibility. However, these sealers had longer setting time and higher dimensional change than those required by ISO 6876.
