Abstract
BACKGROUND Certified Prostate Centers proclaim congruent process and outcome quality results for treatment of prostate carcinoma. Therapy in accordance with the guidelines after presentation of the patient in an interdisciplinary conference and regular documented follow up are not in themselves a guarantee for good quality results (complication free, continence, erectile function, negative surgical margins, biochemical recurrence free), and are significantly influenced by factors not contained within the certification framework. DISCUSSION An association between exceeding the minimum number of operations and quality assurance exists, if at all, only vaguely and on no account justifies the absolute numbers necessary for certification. Although good measuring instruments for a Pentafecta analysis are available, the gathering of quality results for a center are limited to questionnaires for functional quality results and in the non-differentiated request for a pT2R1 rate of under 10 % for oncological quality results. CONCLUSIONS The reasons for this systematic ignoring of the for the patient so important quality results with a simultaneous excessive regard for standardizing organizational procedure processes are manifold. They comprise valid verifiability of process quality, the unclear effects of standardized treatment pathways on actual operation quality and the capitulation to statistical and patient determined problems with sufficient acquisition of comparable functional OP results. Whereas the outcome quality is more important than the process quality for patients with prostate carcinoma, the certified centers conduct themselves in exactly the opposite manner, thus creating a virtually insoluble dilemma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In contrast to conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, the approach of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) shows a steep learning curve with shorter warm ischaemia times (WIT) and comparable postoperative outcomes. Therefore RAPN is considered a good minimally-invasive surgical procedure for patients presenting with a renal cell carcinoma in clinical stage cT1a. The aim of the presented study was to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of our patients after RAPN and to illustrate the learning curve based on characteristic perioperative parameters such as WIT. MATERIAL AND METHODS The data of 109 patients treated by RAPN in our clinic between January 2010 and April 2015 were retrospectively analysed regarding perioperative, laboratory and oncological outcomes. Postoperative complications until 30 days after surgery were documented. We analysed the data of the largest patient population treated by a single urologist, comparing WIT, operating time, blood loss and decline of the glomerular filtration rate between the first and the second 30 consecutive cases. RESULTS Mean WIT was 18.4 min (SD±10.2), mean operating time was 199 min (SD±20), and mean estimated blood loss was 657 millilitres (SD±715 ml). Mean loss of GFR was reported to be 4.99 mg/dl/1.73 m (2) (SD±15.44). 83 (76%) malignant lesions were removed. 11 patients (10%) had a R1 resection, one patient had a R2 resection and in 2 cases the resection status was Rx. 22% of patients developed postoperative complications. Intraoperative complications were documented in 2 cases. According to the Clavien-Dindo Classification, 6% of patients had grade 1 and 2 complications and 13% developed grade 3 and 4 complications. WIT was significantly lower after 30 consecutive cases treated by one urologist. Regarding operating time, GFR or blood loss no significant correlation was found. CONCLUSION Our data is in line with the surgical outcomes described in the literature. RAPN is a safe surgical technique with a steep learning curve. In our experience, 30 surgical cases provide a urologist with sufficient expertise to achieve good perioperative results. Weaknesses of this report include the retrospective design and insufficient documentation in some cases.

Abstract
The prevalence of kidney stones is increasing worldwide. Asymptomatic non-obstructing kidney stones are increasingly detected as an incidental finding on radiologic imaging, which has been performed more frequently over the last decades. Beside the current interventional treatment modalities such as extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureterorenoscopy (URS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL), active surveillance of asymptomatic kidney stones has been a focus of discussion lately, not only for attending physicians, but even more so for patients. The current German and European guidelines recommend active surveillance for patients with asymptomatic kidney stones if no interventional therapy is mandatory because of pain or medical factors. Herein we review the current literature on risks and benefits of active surveillance of asymptomatic non-obstructing kidney stones.

Abstract
We present the long-term results of open surgery for internal shoulder rotational deformity in brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP). From 1997 to 2005, 207 patients (107 females, 100 males, mean age 6.2 (0.6 to 34)) were operated on with subscapularis elongation and/or latissimus dorsi to infraspinatus transfer. Incongruent shoulder joints were relocated. The early results of these patients has been reported previously. We analysed 118 (64 females, 54 males, mean age 15.1 (7.6 to 34)) of the original patient cohort at a mean of 10.4 years (7.0 to 15.1) post-operatively. A third of patients with relocated joints had undergone secondary internal rotational osteotomy of the humerus. A mixed effects models approach was used to evaluate the effects of surgery on shoulder rotation, abduction, and the Mallet score. Independent factors were time (pre-and post-surgery), gender, age, joint category (congruent, relocated, relocated plus osteotomy) and whether or not a transfer had been performed. Data from a previously published short-term evaluation were reworked in order to obtain pre-operative values. The mean improvement in external rotation from pre-surgery to the long-term follow-up was 66.5° (95% confidence interval (CI) 61.5 to 71.6). The internal rotation had decreased by a mean of 22.6° (95% CI -18.7 to -26.5). The mean improvement in the three-grade aggregate Mallet score was 3.1 (95% CI 2.7 to 3.4), from 8.7 (95% CI 8.4 to 9.0) to 11.8 (11.5 to 12.1). Our results show that open subscapularis elongation achieves good long-term results for patients with BPBP and an internal rotation contracture, providing lasting joint congruency and resolution of the trumpet sign, but with a moderate mean loss of internal rotation.

Abstract
Tension-free alloplastic slings (TFAS) have revolutionized surgery for female stress urinary incontinence for more than 20 years. The procedure is easy to perform, minimally invasive with a short operating time in an outpatient setting and has proven efficacy comparable to retropubic colposuspension. The frequency of surgery for female stress incontinence has tripled within one decade which has to have an impact on the number of complications. In contrast, sacrocolpopexy has remained the gold standard in urological prolapse surgery as none of the new techniques has reached similar efficacy or safety; however, possible complications have to be named and their causes have to be understood to maintain the highest quality of care in the future. Possible complications of TFAS are potentially underestimated with respect to prevalence and manageability. Possible complications of prolapse and incontinence surgery are presented and the underlying causes are identified. Knowledge of the pathophysiology and the cause of complications together with the results of a postoperative diagnostic work-up, allow complication management to be tailored to each individual patient. To prevent complications all conservative treatment options should have been tried preoperatively and a complete evaluation (including urodynamics) should have been carried out for every patient. Postoperative urodynamics may help to document treatment success and to identify and quantify complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Open simple prostatectomy is a well-established and effective operation for prostate volumes greater than 80 gm but also associated with bleeding and urinary incontinence. To benefit from the advances of laparoscopy, robot-assisted simple prostatectomy was established. We determined the learning curve of this minimally invasive surgery by evaluating the first procedures by an experienced robotic surgeon. METHODS Patients presenting for surgical therapy with prostate volumes greater than 80 gm were considered for the study. Evaluation included validated questionnaires preoperatively, and at 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively. Blood loss, transfusions, operation time and pad use after catheter removal were documented. The experience based on the results from 18 cases treated with robot-assisted simple prostatectomy by one of us (JWT) is presented. RESULTS Mean age of the 18 patients was 71.2 years, mean enucleated prostate volume was 91 gm and mean preoperative flow was 9.0 ml/second. I-PSS and QoL values improved significantly from 25 to 6.1 (p <0.005) and from 5 to 1.1 (p <0.005), respectively, and flow rate increased to 28.2 ml/second (p <0.005) postoperatively. There were no significant changes in sexual performance based on IIEF (p = 0.73). Of the 18 patients 14 had complete continence immediately after catheter removal, and at 6 weeks postoperatively 17 were completely continent. Decreases in operation time from 250 to 150 minutes and blood loss from 400 to 200 ml were noted after 5 procedures. Only minor complications occurred and 1 patient required transfusion postoperatively (Clavien-Dindo II). CONCLUSIONS Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy is a safe and effective operation for benign prostatic hyperplasia, which can be learned with good results in a rather short time.

Abstract
Abdominal sacrocolpopexy is a standard procedure for the correction of pelvic organ prolapse of all three compartments and can also be performed minimally invasively without compromising efficacy as by open techniques. In comparison to conventional laparoscopy robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy benefits from several technical stand-alone features, such as three-dimensional view, increased degrees of freedom through angulated instruments, tremor filter and up and down scaling of instrument movements. These advantages facilitate preparation of the vesicovaginal and rectovaginal spaces as well as suturing and reperitonealization, which should lead to decreased operation time and anesthesia time in extreme Trendelenburg position. Surgeon also benefit from the much more ergonomic working conditions of the da Vinci® system: however, comparative studies are rare and conclusions are preliminary. The German reimbursement system (DRG) does not adequately cover da Vinci expenses which, despite the obvious advantages represents the most significant obstacle in the propagation of this technique.

Abstract
Stenosis of the ureteroenterostomy and symptomatic reflux are among the most dangerous complications of all forms of urinary diversion. Variations in ureter implantation techniques and different surgical expertises are responsible for the heterogeneity of the available prevalence data. Antirefluxive implantation techniques seem to be more vulnerable to stenosis and obstruction than refluxive techniques, although no difference in kidney function deterioration over time was shown according to the presence or absence of reflux protection. Despite frequent controls, approximately one quarter of all obstructed renal units show a complete loss of function. The reimplantation rate of stenotic ureters exceeds 30%.The development of an implantation stenosis may be silent and subtle. The loss of renal function often remains unnoticed if sonography and creatinine measurements are the only follow-up tools employed. Neither of these tests is reliable in estimating kidney function and may mislead both doctor and patient. DMSA scintigraphy and retrograde contrast studies (conduitogram, pouchogram) are the most sensitive tools available to evaluate a symptomatic reflux, whereas MAG-3 renal scans and antegrade function tests (nephrostogram, renal pelvic pressure measurement) are recommended for investigating ureteric obstruction. Stenosis of the ureteroenterostomy usually occurs within 2 years after urinary diversion; delayed occurrence of ureteric obstruction is indicative of malignant local recurrence or compressive metastases.There are various minimally invasive treatment options such as balloon dilatation, internal ureterotomy, stenting and nephrostomy placement. However, the technical challenge of a ureteroenterostomy should not be a deterrent. In fact, if surgically possible, the patient should be offered open revision, since this is the only way to durably cure the underlying pathology and re-establish the already impaired quality of life of patients with urinary diversion as much as possible.

Abstract
Targeted genome enrichment is a powerful tool for making use of the massive throughput of novel DNA-sequencing instruments. We herein present a simple and scalable protocol for multiplex amplification of target regions based on the Selector technique. The updated version exhibits improved coverage and compatibility with next-generation-sequencing (NGS) library-construction procedures for shotgun sequencing with NGS platforms. To demonstrate the performance of the technique, all 501 exons from 28 genes frequently involved in cancer were enriched for and sequenced in specimens derived from cell lines and tumor biopsies. DNA from both fresh frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsies were analyzed and 94% specificity and 98% coverage of the targeted region was achieved. Reproducibility between replicates was high (R2 = 0, 98) and readily enabled detection of copy-number variations. The procedure can be carried out in <24 h and does not require any dedicated instrumentation.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma is chemoresistent and radio-therapy so that surgical tumour excision of the tumor is the only potentially curative option, either as radical nephrectomy or as nephron sparing surgery. As a result of continuously improving radiological imaging modalities, renal tumours are nowadays detected incidentally at an asymptomatic stage in up to 75 %. The ten-year cancer-specific survival for organ-confined disease (T1, T2) after R0-excision is > 90 %. Moreover, locally extending renal tumours (T3) can be treated successfully with five-year survival rates of > 65 %. In case of tumours in a single kidney or synchronous bilateral tumours, good functional and oncological long-term results can be achieved by nephron sparing surgery (imperative indication). T1 renal cell cancer (tumour size < 7 cm ) should be treated by nephron sparing surgery, even if the contralateral kidney is normal, because since this nephron-sparing approach ensures maximal renal reserve in the long term follow up. Minimally invasive techniques offer treatment also for multi-morbide patients. Which approach is to be selected depends on size and location of the tumour as well as on indication (elective or imperative), age and general health of the patient and the surgeon's preference.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) is mandatory for patients with renal tumors in both kidneys or in a solitary kidney in order to preserve renal function (imperative indication). NSS has also become the gold standard (elective indication) for small unilateral renal tumors (< 4 cm) with a normal contralateral kidney. We report the oncological long-term follow-up of NSS of our own series and discuss the results of the current literature. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1979 until 2006, a total of 851 patients was treated at our institution by NSS. The mean tumor diameter was 3 cm (0.5-11 cm) for elective cases and 4.2 cm (1.2-11 cm) for imperative cases. The median follow-up for elective cases is 4.7 years (0.1-24.1 years) and imperative cases 8 years (0.1-25.8 years). Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and local recurrence-free survival (RFS) were estimated. RESULTS Estimated CSS at 5 and 10 years for elective indications were 98.5% and 96.7% and for imperative indications (solitary kidney) 89.6% and 76%. RFS after 5 and 10 years for elective indications were 98.3% and 95.7%; and for imperative indications (solitary kidney) 89.4% and 79.9%. Chronic renal failure requiring haemodialysis developed after NSS in a solitary kidney in nine patients (11.2%). CONCLUSION NSS can be performed with oncologically safe and good functional results in imperative indications. In elective indications the resectability of a tumour rather than size and location is the limiting factor.

Abstract
Occupational lung cancers are underestimated by the number of cases compensated in the French National Insurance System. Rules of compensation of occupational diseases were recently modified in France. Therefore a study was conducted on incident cases of lung cancer in a general hospital in the Paris area. The aim was to evaluate the exposure to carcinogens using data of a detailed specific occupational questionnaire, and to determine the number of cases who could receive compensation. Two hundred and seven subjects (171 males, 36 females, mean age = 64.5 years) were eligible in 1996, and 122 had an occupational questionnaire. Definite exposure to one or more occupational carcinogens in at least one job was identified in 50 subjects, the most frequent agent was asbestos (42 subjects). Claim for compensation was done in 32 subjects, mainly for asbestos (30 subjects). This study emphasizes the frequency of occupational exposure to carcinogens, and the usefulness of systematic occupational questionnaire in subjects having lung cancer. Social and financial consequences are important for these subjects. Further studies are needed, with recruitement of control subjects to allow calculation of the attributable risk to occupational factors in lung cancer.

Abstract
Connexins have been hypothesized to play an important role in intercellular communication within the vascular wall and may provide a mechanistic explanation for conduction of vasomotor responses. To test this hypothesis, we studied the transmission of vasomotor responses in the intact skeletal muscle microcirculation of connexin40-deficient mice (Cx40(-/-)). Arterioles were locally stimulated with hyperpolarizing dilators (acetylcholine [ACh] as well as bradykinin [Bk]) or depolarizing K(+) solution, and the resulting changes in diameter were measured using a videomicroscopy technique at the site of application and up to 1.32 mm upstream. Arterial pressure was elevated 25% in Cx40(-/-) mice (94+/-5 versus 75+/-4 mm Hg). Vessels selected for study had equivalent basal diameter and vasomotor tone in both genotypes of mice. Vasomotion was present in small arterioles of both genotypes, but its intensity was exaggerated in Cx40(-/-) mice. ACh and Bk induced dilation (33% and 53%, respectively, of maximal response) at the site of application that was of similar magnitude in both genotypes. These dilations were observed to spread upstream within <1 second without significant attenuation in Cx40(+/+) mice. However, spreading was severely attenuated in Cx40(-/-) animals (11+/-4% versus 35+/-7% with ACh and 38+/-5% versus 60+/-7% with Bk in Cx40(-/-) and Cx40(+/+), respectively; P<0.05). In contrast, conducted vasoconstrictions, induced by K(+) solution decreased equally with distance in both genotypes. These results support a significant role for Cx40 in vascular intercellular communication. Our observations indicate that Cx40 is required for normal transmission of endothelium-dependent vasodilator responses and may underlie altered vasomotion patterns.

Abstract
We report on a 35-year-old female with eosinophilic fasciitis (Shulman's syndrome). The characteristic features of this disease are scleroderma-like skin indurations, predominantly on the extremities, with joint contractures and intermittent blood eosinophilia. Histologic findings include fibrosis of muscle fascia and eosinophilic infiltration. Systemic corticosteroid therapy usually results in remission of symptoms. In this case refractory to systemic corticosteroids, we report for the fist time a successful therapy using cyclophosphamide.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A study was conducted in coke oven workers to evaluate the biological consequences of the exposure of these workers, particularly production of potential genotoxic factors. METHODS 60 coke oven workers and 40 controls were recruited in the same iron and steel works. Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was assessed by job and measurement of 1-hydroxypyrene (1OHP) in urine samples. An unscheduled DNA synthesis assay was performed on rat pleural mesothelial cells used as a test system to evaluate the effect of the workers' filtered urine on the DNA repair capacity of rat cells to determine whether DNA damaging agents are present in the urine of these workers. RESULTS Urinary concentrations of 1OHP ranged from 0.06 to 24.2 (mean (SD) 2.1 (3.6)) mumol/mol creatinine in exposed coke oven workers, and from 0.01 to 0.9 in controls (0.12 (0.15)). These high concentrations in coke oven workers reflected recent exposure to PAHs and were in agreement with the assessment of exposure by job. No significant difference was found between coke oven workers and controls in the DNA repair level of rat cells treated with urine samples. However, the rat cell repair capacity decreased with increasing 1OHP concentrations in the exposed population (r = -0.28, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS As high concentrations of 1OHP were found in the urine of some workers, a more stringent control of exposures to PAHs in the workplace is required. Exposure to PAHs was not associated with a clear cut modification of the urinary excretion of DNA damaging factors in this test, as shown by the absence of increased unscheduled DNA synthesis in rat cells. However, impairment of some repair mechanisms by urinary constituents is suspected.

Abstract
To evaluate the hepatic regenerative response in patients with alcoholic liver disease, sera from 263 patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis and/or cirrhosis were analyzed for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). HGF concentration was elevated above healthy controls in 95% of the patients (median level = 2.4 ng/ml), whereas AFP tended to be depressed below controls (median level = 4.1 ng/ml). Correlations with parameters of liver injury (i.e., ascites, encephalopathy, AST bilirubin, and protime) all showed a more significant correlation with HGF concentrations than those of AFP. Patients with HGF levels below the mean (4 ng/ml) exhibited significantly better survival (median survival = 35 months vs. 8.5 months for those with HGF > or = 4 ng/ml; p = 0.007). Serum HGF levels were associated with various specific histologic features of alcoholic hepatitis that included, but were not exclusively related to, necrosis.

Abstract
For diagnostic purposes, mineralogical analysis was performed in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissue from a 58-year-old patient previously exposed to asbestos and rare earth dusts. No significant retention of asbestos was demonstrated in lung tissue by light microscopy (asbestos bodies) or transmission electron microscopy analysis (uncoated fibers). Particles containing rare earth (cerium, lanthanum) and phosphorus were identified in alveolar macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and cerium-containing particles accounted for 70% of particles observed in the lung tissue. Ultrastructural analysis of lung tissue revealed the presence of particles containing cerium and phosphorus in interstitial macrophages and elastic fibers. These results suggest that rare earth is metabolized and should be considered as biopersistent in the human respiratory tract, since occupational inquiries revealed that exposure to cerium oxide abrasive powder had ceased at least 15 years earlier.

Abstract
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a potent stimulator of DNA synthesis in a variety of epithelial cells, including hepatocytes, and has been implicated in liver regeneration. We show here that combining dextran sulfate with HGF/SF markedly increases the plasma concentrations of HGF/SF that are achieved during intraperitoneal infusion. Three days of administration of HGF/SF by this mechanism caused a dose-dependent increase in liver wet weight. Mitotic figures were rarely observed in control livers but were abundant in livers exposed to HGF/SF, and liver DNA content was elevated. Serum levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, total protein, and albumin were also dose dependently increased, whereas alkaline phosphatase was reduced. From these data we conclude 1) that combining HGF/SF with dextran sulfate provides a novel method for delivering HGF/SF in a continuous manner, 2) that HGF/SF can induce liver growth in an intact animal, and 3) that HGF/SF-induced liver enlargement is associated with changes in serum biochemistry.

Abstract
A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate lung retention of particles containing cerium in subjects with and without previous occupational exposure to mineral dusts. Analytical transmission electron microscopy was performed on 459 samples of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and 75 samples of lung tissue. Study of the distribution of mineralogical species in human samples showed that particles containing cerium were encountered in less than 10% of subjects. The proportion of subjects with particles containing cerium in their biological samples was not different between controls and subjects with previous occupational exposure to fibrous or nonfibrous mineral dusts. This was considered as the background level of lung retention of cerium in the general population. By contrast, determination of the absolute concentration of particles containing cerium in BAL fluid and lung tissue samples showed that 1.2% (from BAL fluid) and 1.5% (from lung tissue) of subjects with previous exposure to mineral particles had high lung retention of particles containing cerium. This study is believed to be the first one in which lung retention of cerium was estimated in the general population.

Abstract
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent stimulator of DNA synthesis in cultured hepatocytes. To determine whether HGF has any activity in vivo, we have tested HGF in rats in which intrahepatic cholestasis was induced by acute administration of alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT). The hepatotoxic effects of a single injection of ANIT were manifested 48 h later as large increases in serum bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase. These biochemical changes were accompanied by widespread periportal edema, hypertrophy of bile duct epithelium, and randomly scattered areas of liquifaction necrosis in the hepatic parenchyma. The increases in bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase were markedly attenuated when HGF was administered 30 min before ANIT and again at 6, 12, 24, 30, and 36 h after ANIT. In addition, this HGF dosing regimen completely prevented the occurrence of parenchymal lesions, although it had no effect on periportal histopathology. The effect of ANIT was dose dependent; a maximal response was observed at 320 micrograms/kg per injection, with an intermediate response at 105 micrograms/kg. Delaying the administration of HGF until 12 h after ANIT was as effective as when administration was begun 30 min before ANIT. Taken together these results show that HGF can prevent some aspects of ANIT hepatotoxicity.
