Niwanda Yogiswara, Yusuf Azmi, Farapti farapti, Yufi Aulia Azmi 10.17504/protocols.io.be2tjgen Several studies have demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency was associated with an increased incidence of infectious disease, including urinary tract diseases. The present systematic review aims to investigate whether vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased incidence of urinary tract infections (UTI) and whether supplementation could reduce the risk of UTI. This systematic review and meta-analysis will be carried out in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). The search will be performed using multiple databases, including MEDLINE, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov. We will screen observational studies and interventional studies with our inclusion criteria and assessed the quality with the Newcastle-Ottawa scale and Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Currently we do not anticipate any problems with the implementation of the proposed protocol. The results of this study will explain the effects of vitamin D deficiency and the prevention role of vitamin D supplements on UTI.

Potential links between female urine and reproductive tract microbial communities is currently not clear. Here, we collected urine samples from 147 Chinese women of reproductive age and explored the nature of colonization by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, quantitative real-time PCR, and live bacteria culture. To demonstrate the utility of this approach, the intra-individual Spearman's correlation was used to explore the relationship between urine and multiple sites of the reproductive tract. PERMANOVA was also performed to explore potential correlations between the lifestyle and various clinical factors and urinary bacterial communities. Our data demonstrated distinct bacterial communities in urine, indicative of a non-sterile environment. Streptococcus-dominated, Lactobacillus-dominated, and diverse type were the three most common urinary bacterial community types in the cohort. Detailed comparison of the urinary microbiota with multiple sites of the female reproductive tract microbiota demonstrated that the urinary microbiota were more similar to the microbiota in the cervix and uterine cavity than to those of the vagina in the same women. Our data demonstrate the potential connectivity among microbiota in the female urogenital system and provide insight and resources for exploring diseases of the urethra and genital tract.

A. Lenore Ackerman, Jennifer Tash Anger, Muhammad Umair Khalique, James E. Ackerman, Jie Tang, Jayoung Kim, David M. Underhill, Michael R. Freeman 10.17504/protocols.io.wgsfbwe Introduction. Recent data suggest the urinary tract hosts a microbial community of varying composition, even in the absence of infection. Culture-independent methodologies, such as next-generation sequencing of conserved ribosomal DNA sequences, provide an expansive look at these communities, identifying both common commensals and fastidious organisms. A fundamental challenge has been the isolation of DNA representative of the entire resident microbial community, including fungi. .justify:after { content: ""; display:inline-block; width: 100%; } Materials and Methods. We evaluated multiple modifications of commonly-used DNA extraction procedures using standardized male and female urine samples, comparing resulting overall, fungal and bacterial DNA yields by quantitative PCR. After identifying protocol modifications that increased DNA yields (lyticase/lysozyme digestion, bead beating, boil/freeze cycles, proteinase K treatment, and carrier DNA use), all modifications were combined for systematic confirmation of optimal protocol conditions. This optimized protocol was tested against commercially available methodologies to compare overall and microbial DNA yields, community representation and diversity by next-generation sequencing (NGS). .justify:after { content: ""; display:inline-block; width: 100%; } Results. Overall and fungal-specific DNA yields from standardized urine samples demonstrated that microbial abundances differed significantly among the eight methods used. Methodologies that included multiple disruption steps, including enzymatic, mechanical, and thermal disruption and proteinase digestion, particularly in combination with small volume processing and pooling steps, provided more comprehensive representation of the range of bacterial and fungal species. Concentration of larger volume urine specimens at low speed centrifugation proved highly effective, increasing resulting DNA levels and providing greater microbial representation and diversity. .justify:after { content: ""; display:inline-block; width: 100%; } Conclusions. Alterations in the methodology of urine storage, preparation, and DNA processing improve microbial community profiling using culture-independent sequencing methods. Our optimized protocol for DNA extraction from urine samples provided improved fungal community representation. Use of this technique resulted in equivalent representation of the bacterial populations as well, making this a useful technique for the concurrent evaluation of bacterial and fungal populations by NGS. .justify:after { content: ""; display:inline-block; width: 100%; } Ackerman AL, Anger JT, Khalique MU, Ackerman JE, Tang J, Kim J, Underhill DM, Freeman MR, , Optimization of DNA extraction from human urinary samples for mycobiome community profiling.

Materials and methods: The study cohort consisted of 76 AS patients with GS 3+3 PCa and at least two consecutive mpMRIs of the prostate performed between 2006 and 2015. Patients were followed according to the Prostate Cancer Research International Active Surveillance (PRIAS) protocol and additional mpMRIs. The primary end points were GS upgrading (GU) (>3+3) in protocol-based biopsies and protocol-based TC. Results: 53/76 (69%) patients had progression (PIRADS upgrade, size increase or new lesion[s]), 18/76 (24%) had radiologically stable disease, and 5/76 (7%) had regression (PIRADS or size decrease, disappearance of lesion[s]) in repeat mpMRIs during AS. PIRADS scores 4 to 5 in the initial mpMRI was associated with GU (p=0.008) and protocol-based TC (p=0.009). Tumour progression on repeat mpMRIs was associated with TC (p=0.045) but not with GU (p=1.00). PIRADS scores 4-5 predict GU (sensitivity 0.80 [95% confidence interval (CI); 0.51-0.95, specificity 0.62 [95% CI; 0.52-0.77]) with PPV and NPV values of 0.34 (95% CI; 0.21-0.55) and 0.93 (95% CI; 0.80-0.98), respectively. Conclusion: mpMRI is a useful tool not only to select but also to monitor PCa patients on AS.

Shankun Zhao, Ran Kang, Zhigang Zhao 10.17504/protocols.io.kwdcxa6 Intracavernous pressure (ICP) measurement is a well-established technique for assessing the erectile function, which was performed by cannulating either crus or shaft of the penis. But yet, as far as we know, no consensus has reached on the ES parameters of frequency and voltage response.Moreover, the current technique for ICP measurement in the rat is difficult to perform, especially in the cannulation of the corpus cavernosum. It often leads to failure in the experiment and takes time to explore the optimum conditions for inexperienced investigators. In present study, we provided a detailed step-by-step procedure of ICP measurement.

Results: 53/76 (69%) patients had progression (PIRADS upgrade, size increase or new lesion[s]), 18/76 (24%) had radiologically stable disease, and 5/76 (7%) had regression (PIRADS or size decrease, disappearance of lesion[s]) in repeat mpMRIs during AS. PIRADS scores 4 to 5 in the initial mpMRI was associated with GU (p=0.008) and protocol-based TC (p=0.009). Tumour progression on repeat mpMRIs was associated with TC (p=0.045) but not with GU (p=1.00). PIRADS scores 4-5 predict GU (sensitivity 0.80 [95% confidence interval (CI); 0.51-0.95, specificity 0.62 [95% CI; 0.52-0.77]) with PPV and NPV values of 0.34 (95% CI; 0.21-0.55) and 0.93 (95% CI; 0.80-0.98), respectively. Conclusion: mpMRI is a useful tool not only to select but also to monitor PCa patients on AS.

Hyun Suk Yoon, Yong Tae Kim, Bong Suk Shim, Hana Yoon 10.17504/protocols.io.meyc3fw This study aimed to investigate the effects of lactic acid bacterial fermentation extract (LABEF) on cystitis induced by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the mouse bladder by pathological analyses and measurement of the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-18 (IL-18). LABEF was administered orally (5 μg/L) to mice for 10 days following which, the study group (n = 12) was injected intravesically with 5 μg/L LPS. The bladder tissue was then harvested after 24 hours and subjected to hematoxylin and eosin (H-E) staining. A semiquantative score was used to evaluate inflammation (bladder inflammation index; BII). TNF-α immunohistochemical staining and multiplex cytokine assay were also performed. TNF-α and IL-18 levels were determined. The results were compared with those of the control group (n = 12). The BII in the control and study groups was 2.7 ± 0.5 and 1.1 ± 0.7, respectively, with the control group scores significantly differing from the study group scores (p value Department of Urology, Ewha Womans University, School of Medicine, Department of Urology, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Department of Urology, Ewha Womans University, School of Medicine, Department of Urology, Ewha Womans University, School of Medicine 3 2017 Hyun Suk Yoon, Yong Tae Kim, Bong Suk Shim, Hana Yoon 2017.
