Placebo is non-inferior to continuous IV butylscopolamine for pain relief in patients with renal colic. Based on this study and previous evidence, there is no role for continuous butylscopolamine IV in the treatment of renal colic. Trial NL7819.

To investigate the influence factors of infection complications of transrectal ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate biopsy.

A total of 2192 patients who underwent prostate biopsy under transperineal prostate biopsy were analyzed retrospectively from December 2010 to May 2020.We collected the clinical characteristics and the incidence of complications, and used univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to analyze independent risk factors for infection complications after transperineal prostate biopsy.

Univariate analysis showed that the following factors were associated with the infection complications diabetes, bacterial prostatitis, history of urinary retention, history of urinary infection, and number of cores. Furthermore, multivariate logistic analysis revealed that diabetes (OR 2.037, 95% CI 1.143-3.572, P = 0.021) and history of urinary retention (OR 2.563, 95% CI 1.284-3.901, P = 0.013) were independent risk factors for infection complications after transperineal prostate biopsy.

Patients with diabetes and history of urinary retention were more likely to have infection complications after transperineal prostate biopsy.

PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy with lutetium-177 has emerged as an effective treatment option for metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Recently, the concept of modifying PSMA radioligands with an albumin-binding entity was demonstrated as a promising measure to increase the tumor uptake in preclinical experiments. The aim of this study was to translate the concept to a clinical setting and evaluate the safety and dosimetry of [

Lu]Lu-PSMA-ALB-56, a novel PSMA radioligand with albumin-binding properties.

Ten patients (71.8 ± 8.2years) with mCRPC received an activity of 3360 ± 393MBq (120-160μg) [

Lu]Lu-PSMA-ALB-56 followed by whole-body SPECT/CT imaging over 7days. Volumes of interest were defined on the SPECT/CT images for dosimetric evaluation for healthy tissue and tumor lesions. General safety and therapeutic efficacy were assessed by measuring blood biomarkers.

[

Lu]Lu-PSMA-ALB-56 was well tolerated, and no severe adverse events were observed. SPECT images revealed longer circulation of [

Lu]Lu-PSMA-ALB-56 in the blood with the highest uptake in tumor lesions at 48h post injection. Compared with published data for other therapeutic PSMA radioligands (e.g. PSMA-617 and PSMA I&T), normalized absorbed doses of [

Lu]Lu-PSMA-ALB-56 were up to 2.3-fold higher in tumor lesions (6.64 ± 6.92Gy/GBq) and similar in salivary glands (0.87 ± 0.43Gy/GBq). Doses to the kidneys and red marrow (2.54 ± 0.94Gy/GBq and 0.29 ± 0.07Gy/GBq, respectively) were increased.

Our data demonstrated that the concept of albumin-binding PSMA-radioligands is feasible and leads to increased tumor doses. After further optimization of the ligand design, the therapeutic outcomes may be improved for patients with prostate cancer.

The objective was to determine age-related changes in measurements of urethral sphincter complex components in asymptomatic nulliparous women.

Eighty nulliparous women ≥18years underwent 3D ultrasound of the anterior pelvic compartment in a cross-sectional study. Measurements of the urethral sphincter components (smooth muscle sphincter [SMS] andstriated urinary sphincter [SUS]) and urethra including area, length, width, and distance of the SUS and SMS from the urethrovesical junction were obtained. The women were grouped into four age groups < 30years (group A), 30 to < 45 (group B), 45 to < 60 (group C), and ≥ 60years (group D). Age-related differences in the measurements were determined. Inter-rater and intra-rater agreement were performed for 20 nulliparous women.

There were 24, 18, 26, and 12 women in groups A, B, C, and D respectively. None of the urethral sphincter complex measurements was significantly associated with age (p > 0.05). No differences were found between the groups for any measurements using one-way ANOVA and multiple comparison pairwise comparison (p > 0.05) other than width of SMS (C > A), urethral length (C > A), and distance of SUS from urethrovesical junction (C > D). Inter-rater and intra-rater agreement were moderate for area, length, and width of SUS (intraclass correlation 0.6) and good (intraclass correlation above 0.8) for the remaining measurements.

Other than width of SMS, urethral length, and distance of SUS from urethrovesical junction, the dimensions of urethral sphincter complex components, as visualized by 3D endovaginal ultrasound, do not vary with age.

Serotonin (5-HT) increases contractile force and causes arrhythmias in atrial trabeculae from patients in sinus rhythm (SR). In persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF), the force responses to 5-HT are blunted and arrhythmic effects are abolished. Since force but not arrhythmic responses to 5-HT in peAF could be restored by PDE3 + PDE4 inhibition, we sought to perform real-time measurements of cAMP to understand whether peAF alters PDE3 + PDE4-mediated compartmentation of 5-HT4 receptor-cAMP responses. Bax protein Isolated human atrial myocytes from patients in SR, with paroxysmal AF (paAF) or peAF, were adenovirally transduced to express the FRET-based cAMP sensor Epac1-camps. Forty-eight hours later, cAMP responses to 5-HT (100 μM) were measured in the absence or concomitant presence of the PDE3 inhibitor cilostamide (0.3 μM) and the PDE4 inhibitor rolipram (1 μM). We successfully established real-time cAMP imaging in AF myocytes.
