    (2012) DUARTE, R. J.; CRISTOFANI, L. M.; GIRON, A. M.; DENES, F. T.; ODONE-FILHO, V; TANNURI, U.; SROUGI, M.
    INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES: Bilateral Wilms’ tumor represents 3% of all cases. The challenge of this situation is curing these patients preserving their renal function and quality of life (dialysis free status). Our purpose was to evaluate the success of renal function preservation in children treated for bilateral Wilms’ tumor. MATERIAL & METHODS: From January/1982 through June/2009, 13 children with bilateral Wilms’ tumor (4F: 9M, median age 16 months) were diagnosed. All patients received preoperative chemotherapy with VCR/ACTD (13 patients), VCR/ACTD/ADRIA (10 patients), VCR/ACTD/ADRIA/CBDCA/ETO (3 patients), VCR/ACTD/ADRIA/CBDCA/ETO/IFO (2 patients), for 8 through 40 weeks (median 16 weeks). All patients were submitted to surgical procedure nephron sparing objective. RESULTS: Radical unilatera l nephrectomy was performed in 9 patients (combined with contralateral nodulectomy in 8), bilateral nodulectomy in 3, and unilateral nodulectomy in 1. Two patients presented unilateral disappearing of the disease after preoperative chemotherapy on image and surgical evaluation. The histhopatological analysis revealed the classic triphasic Wilms’ tumor in 9 patients, rhabdomyoblastic differentiation in 3 and blastematous rests in one patient. Four patients relapsed: 2 in the remaining kidney, 1 in the tumoral bed and 1 in lungs (9mo, 1mo, 5mo and 6 mo after surgery). A ll, except the lung relapsed patient, were rescued, achieving a second remission, but one presented a second diffuse abdominal relapse and died. 11/13 patients have normal renal function and are alive and free of disease for 23+ months to 28+years. 1/13 patients presents microalbuminuria and mild systemic hypertension, requiring medication support. CONCLUSIONS: Bilateral Wilms’ tumor was successfully treated and renal function was preserved in 84.6% of surviving patients, even those cases that received nephrotoxic drugs.

    A scoring system for testicular torsion: Decreasing costs and therapeutic delay
    (2012) BARBOSA, J. A. B. A.; OLIVEIRA, C. M.; TISEO, B. C.; PASSEROTTI, C. C.; SROUGI, M.; NGUYEN, H. T.; RETIK, A. B.
    NTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES: Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency requiring prompt intervention to prevent testicular loss. Differential diagnosis is not easily done with clinical evaluation, and imaging studies are usually required, especially ultrasound, causing therapeutic delay. Our objective was to create a scoring system for clinical diagnosis of testicular torsion, thus eliminating the necessity of ultrasound (US). MATERIAL & METHODS: Patients presenting with acute scrotum at a tertiary care center were prospectively evaluated and physical examination was performed by the first urologist to see the patient. Scrotal ultrasound was performed in all patients after visit. Single variate analysis was performed and clinical variables associated with testicular torsion were identified. A scoring system was created based upon logistic regression with relevant variables from univariate analysis. Retrospective validation of the scoring system was performed including all patients seen with suspicion for testicular torsion at this institution up to 2 years prior to the beginning of the prospective evaluation. RESULTS: Two hundred and thirty one patients were enrolled in the first phase of the study. Mean age of patients was 12.1 years and mean duration of symptoms was 40.2 hours. Thirty-three patients had a final diagnosis of torsion. Clinical variables associated with torsion were scrotal swelling, nausea and vomiting from history and testicular swelling, high-riding test icle, horizontal lie of the testicle, increased consistency of the testicle to palpation, presence of a thickened spermatic cord, negative Prehn's sign, absent cremasteric reflex and fixed scrotal skin to testis on physical examination (p<0.05). A scoring system was created with 5 variables, and patients were stratified in low, intermediate and high risk for torsion. Twenty-two patients were at high risk for testicular torsion, all of which had a final diagnosis of torsion, and 170 patients were at low risk for torsion, none of which had a diagnosis for this condition. Low and high risk groups comprised 82% of all patients seen. Retrospective validation was performed for 116 patients and 83% of cases fell within low or high risk categories; all patients in the high risk category had a final diagnosis of torsion and none in the low risk group. CONCLUSIONS: The present scoring system is a valuable tool for diagnosis of testicular torsion, eliminating the necessity of ultrasound in 80% of cases. Prospective validation of this score is necessary.

    Misdiagnosis in Wilms tumor: Concerns on the use of preoperative chemotherapy
    (2012) DUARTE, R. J.; CRISTOFANI, L. M.; DENES, F. T.; GIRON, A. M.; ODONE-FILHO, V; SROUGI, M.
    INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES: Modern image armamentarium allows the preoperative diagnosis of Wilms tumor and the use of preoperative chemotherapy as precluded by SIOP protocols without a biopsy specimen. However, misdiagnosis is possible even with very accurate examination. This paper describes our experience with children who were preoperatively considered as having Wilms tumor and who received preoperative chemotherapy as SIOP 2001 protocol, and after delayed surgery, a different diagnosis was revealed. MATERIAL & METHODS: The charts of children admitted to our institution with diagnosis of Wilms tumor from January 2000 through December 2010 were reviewed in order to disclose all those who were submitted to preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgical removal of the tumor. The histopathological diagnosis and the subsequent treatment were reviewed. RESULTS: 81 children were admitted to our institution with the diagnosis of Wilms tumor during the analyzed period. Median age was 3.2 years (range 7 mo trough 5 years). All children presented with renal mass suggestive of Wilms tumor on abdominal ultrasonography and computerized tomography. All received preoperative chemotherapy with vincristine plus dactinomycin for four weeks, been afterwards submitted to nephrectomy. Histopathological analysis confirmed Wilms tumor in 78/81 cases (96%), but in 3/81 (4%) of the cases the diagnosis was clear cell sarcoma (1/81), multicystic kidney (1/81) and neuroblastoma (1/81). No further chemotherapy was administered to the child with multicystic kidney and the other two children were treated according to specific protocols. CONCLUSIONS: In spite of the refined image methods available in our days, misdiagnosis of Wilms tumor is still possible and it should be a concern when preoperative chemotherapy is the first line treatment.

    The influence of interstitial cells of Cajal density in the outcomes of pyeloplasty in adults: A prospective analysis
    (2023) SROUGI, Victor; BANDEIRA, Rodolfo Anisio Santana de Torres; REIS, Sabrina Thalita; SANTOS, Gabriel Arantes dos; ANDRADE, Hiury da Silva; LEITE, Katia Ramos Moreira; HAMILTON-CHO, David; MITRE, Anuar Ibrahim; ARAP, Marco Antonio; SROUGI, Miguel; DUARTE, Ricardo Jordao
    Purpose: To evaluate if the density of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) influences the outcomes of pyeloplasty in adults. Methods: Twenty-three patients with the diagnosis of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) that underwent laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty were included. ICC density was measured using immunohistochemistry reaction for c-KIT expression in the resected UPJ segment. Pyeloplasty outcome was evaluated by patient self-report pain, urinary outflow using DTPA renogram and hydronephrosis assessment using ultrasound (US) at 12 months of follow-up. A logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association of pyeloplasty outcomes and ICC density. Results: Low, moderate, and high ICC density were present in 17.4%, 30.4%, and 52.2% of the patients, respectively. Complete pain resolution was observed in 100%, 85.7%, and 75% of patients with low, moderate and high ICC density, respectively (p = 0.791). DTPA renogram improved in 75%, 85.7%, and 91.7% of patients with low, moderate and high ICC density, respectively (p = 0.739). Hydronephrosis improved in 25%, 85.7%, and 91.7% of patients with low, moderate and high ICC density, respectively (p = 0.032). Conclusions: Patients with high ICC density have a significant amelioration of hydronephrosis after pyeloplasty. However, ICC density is not associated with functional outcomes.

    Analysis of the learning curve for transurethral resection of the prostate. Is there any influence of musical instrument and video game skills on surgical performance?
    (2015) YAMACAKE, Kleiton Gabriel Ribeiro; NAKANO, Elcio Tadashi; SOARES, Iva Barbosa; CORDEIRO, Paulo; SROUGI, Miguel; ANTUNES, Alberto Azoubel
    Objective: To evaluate the learning curve for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) among urology residents and study the impact of video game and musical instrument playing abilities on its performance. Material and methods: A prospective study was performed from July 2009 to January 2013 with patients submitted to TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Fourteen residents operated on 324 patients. The following parameters were analyzed: age, prostate-specific antigen levels, prostate weight on ultrasound, pre- and postoperative serum sodium and hemoglobin levels, weight of resected tissue, operation time, speed of resection, and incidence of capsular lesions. Gender, handedness, and prior musical instrument and video game playing experience were recorded using survey responses. Results: The mean resection speed in the first 10 procedures was 0.36 g/min and reached a mean of 0.51 g/min after the 20th procedure. The incidence of capsular lesions decreased progressively. The operation time decreased progressively for each subgroup regardless of the difference in the weight of tissue resected. Those experienced in playing video games presented superior resection speed (0.45 g/min) when compared with the novice (0.35 g/min) and intermediate (0.38 g/min) groups (p=0.112). Musical instrument playing abilities did not affect the surgical performance. Conclusion: Speed of resection, weight of resected tissue, and percentage of resected tissue improve significantly and the incidence of capsular lesions reduces after the performance of 10 TURP procedures. Experience in playing video games or musical instruments does not have a significant effect on outcomes.

    Intratumoral Restoration of miR-137 Plus Cholesterol Favors Homeostasis of the miR-137/Coactivator p160/AR Axis and Negatively Modulates Tumor Progression in Advanced Prostate Cancer
    (2023) PIMENTA, Ruan; MIOSHI, Carolina Mie; GONCALVES, Guilherme L.; CANDIDO, Patricia; CAMARGO, Juliana A.; GUIMARAES, Vanessa R.; CHIOVATTO, Caroline; GHAZARIAN, Vitoria; ROMAO, Poliana; SILVA, Karina Serafim da; SANTOS, Gabriel A. dos; SILVA, Iran A.; SROUGI, Miguel; NAHAS, William C.; LEITE, Katia R.; VIANA, Nayara I.; REIS, Sabrina T.
    MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have gained a prominent role as biomarkers in prostate cancer (PCa). Our study aimed to evaluate the potential suppressive effect of miR-137 in a model of advanced PCa with and without diet-induced hypercholesterolemia. In vitro, PC-3 cells were treated with 50 pmol of mimic miR-137 for 24 h, and gene and protein expression levels of SRC-1, SRC-2, SRC-3, and AR were evaluated by qPCR and immunofluorescence. We also assessed migration rate, invasion, colony-forming ability, and flow cytometry assays (apoptosis and cell cycle) after 24 h of miRNA treatment. For in vivo experiments, 16 male NOD/SCID mice were used to evaluate the effect of restoring miR-137 expression together with cholesterol. The animals were fed a standard (SD) or hypercholesterolemic (HCOL) diet for 21 days. After this, we xenografted PC-3 LUC-MC6 cells into their subcutaneous tissue. Tumor volume and bioluminescence intensity were measured weekly. After the tumors reached 50 mm3, we started intratumor treatments with a miR-137 mimic, at a dose of 6 mu g weekly for four weeks. Ultimately, the animals were killed, and the xenografts were resected and analyzed for gene and protein expression. The animals' serum was collected to evaluate the lipid profile. The in vitro results showed that miR-137 could inhibit the transcription and translation of the p160 family, SRC-1, SRC-2, and SRC-3, and indirectly reduce the expression of AR. After these analyses, it was determined that increased miR-137 inhibits cell migration and invasion and impacts reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis rates. The in vivo results demonstrated that tumor growth was arrested after the intratumoral restoration of miR-137, and proliferation levels were reduced in the SD and HCOL groups. Interestingly, the tumor growth retention response was more significant in the HCOL group. We conclude that miR-137 is a potential therapeutic miRNA that, in association with androgen precursors, can restore and reinstate the AR-mediated axis of transcription and transactivation of androgenic pathway homeostasis. Further studies involving the miR-137/coregulator/AR/cholesterol axis should be conducted to evaluate this miR in a clinical context.

    Cholesterol Triggers Nuclear Co-Association of Androgen Receptor, p160 Steroid Coactivators, and p300/CBP-Associated Factor Leading to Androgenic Axis Transactivation in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
    (2022) PIMENTA, R.; CAMARGO, J. A.; CANDIDO, P.; GHAZARIAN, V.; GONçALVES, G. L.; GUIMARãES, V. R.; ROMãO, P.; CHIOVATTO, C.; MIOSHI, C. M.; SANTOS, G. A. dos; SILVA, I. A.; BIRBRAIR, A.; SROUGI, M.; NAHAS, W. C.; LEITE, K. R.; VIANA, N. I.; REIS, S. T.
    Background/Aims: Cholesterol modulates intratumoral androgenic signaling in prostate cancer; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) are not fully elucidated. Herein, we investigated the effect of cholesterol on androgen receptor (AR) coactivators expression and tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Herein, we monitored the expression of AR coactivators (SRC-1, 2, 3 and PCAF) genes in PC-3 cells exposed to 2µg/mL of cholesterol for 8 hours by qPCR. We also performed cell migration at 0, 8, 24, 48 and 72h and flow cytometry assays (viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle) after a 24h exposure. Immunofluorescence assay was performed to evaluate the protein expression of the AR coactivators. Additionally, in vivo experiments were conducted using 22 male NOD/SCID mice. Mice were fed a standard (Control) or hypercholesterolemic (HCOL) diet for 21 days and then subcutaneously implanted with PC-3 cells. The tumor volume was calculated every two days, and after four weeks, the tumors were resected, weighed, and the serum lipid profile was measured. We also measured the intratumoral lipid profile and AR coactivators gene and protein expression by qPCR and Western Blot, respectively. Intratumor testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) concentrations were determined using ELISA. Results: Cholesterol up-regulated the gene expression of coactivators SRC-1, SRC-2, SRC-3 and PCAF, increasing AR expression in PC-3 cells. Next, cholesterol-supplemented PC-3 cells exhibited increased cell migration and altered cell cycle phases, leading to changes in proliferation and reduced apoptosis. We found that SRC-1, SRC-2, SRC-3 and PCAF proteins co-localized in the nucleus of cholesterol-supplemented cells and co-associate with AR. In the in vivo model, the hypercholesterolemic (HCOL) group displayed higher serum total and intratumoral cholesterol levels, increased testosterone and dihydrotestosterone concentrations, and up-regulated AR coactivator expression. The tumor volume of the HCOL group was significantly higher than the control group. Conclusion: Our findings revealed that increased nuclear translocation of the coactivators leads to up-regulated AR gene and protein expression, potentially influencing tumor progression. Studies targeting cholesterol-modulated changes in AR coactivator expression may provide insights into the molecular mechanisms associated with the CRPC phenotype. © 2022 Cell Physiol Biochem Press GmbH & Co KG.
