Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation of cancer cells characterized by high self-renewal and differentiation capacities, resulting in increased cancer recurrence, larger tumor size, higher rates of metastasis, higher resistance to treatment, and overall poorer prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the role of CSCs as a prognostic tool to predict the risks of metastasis and recurrence in bladder cancer. A literature search was conducted across seven databases from January 2000 to February 2022 for clinical studies investigating the use of CSCs to determine the prognosis of bladder cancer. The following keywords were used: (“Bladder Cancer” OR “Transitional Cell Carcinoma” OR “Urothelial Carcinoma”) AND (“Stem Cell” OR “Stem Gene”) AND (“Metastasis” OR “Recurrence”). A total of 12 studies were deemed eligible for inclusion. SOX2, IGF1R, SOX4, ALDH1, CD44, Cripto-1, OCT4, ARRB1, ARRB2, p-TFCP2L1, CDK1, DCLK1, and NANOG, which were all identified as CSC markers, have been implicated in the recurrence and metastasis of tumor in bladder cancer, which played a role as prognostic factor of bladder cancer. Given the pluripotent and highly proliferative properties of CSCs. CSCs may play a role in the complex biological behavior of bladder cancer, including, but not limited to, its high rates of recurrence, metastasis, and resistance to treatment. The detection of cancer stem cell markers offers a promising approach in determining the prognosis of bladder cancer. Further studies in this area are thus warranted and may contribute significantly to the overall management of bladder cancer.Cancer stem cells; Bladder cancer; Recurrency of bladder cancer; Metastasis of bladder cancer; Prognosis factor of bladder cancer","PeriodicalId":501140,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Urology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138537729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the association between testicular histopathology and components of the metabolic profile among men with non-obstructive azoospermia. Participants were divided into two groups: men with non-obstructive azoospermia and men with obstructive azoospermia. Testicular biopsies were performed among those with non-obstructive azoospermia. We included 115 patients in this study: 83 (72.2%) had non-obstructive azoospermia and 32 (27.8%) had obstructive azoospermia. The plasma glucose concentration, glycated hemoglobin level, and lipid profile were similar between patients with non-obstructive azoospermia and those with obstructive azoospermia. Upon subgroup analysis of patients with non-obstructive azoospermia, those with Sertoli-cell-only syndrome had the lowest testosterone (431 ± 238 ng/dL; <em>P</em>=0.039) and highest follicle-stimulating hormone (23.4 ± 18.2 mIU/mL; <em>P=</em>0.002) concentrations. They also had the highest triglyceride concentration (163 ± 114 mg/dL; <em>P</em>=0.001). Interestingly, patients with Sertoli-cell-only syndrome had a lower fasting plasma glucose concentration (92 ± 11 mg/dL; <em>P</em><0.001) and glycated hemoglobin level (5.9 ± 0.8%; <em>P</em>=0.022) than those with histopathological patterns of maturation arrest and hypospermatogenesis. In conclusion, differences in glucose and lipid metabolism are evident between men with non-obstructive azoospermia with different spermatogenesis patterns.","PeriodicalId":501140,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Urology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138537718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
