Abstract
Aim Mucopolysaccharidosis type III B (MPS IIIB) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the NAGLU gene which codes the lysosomal enzyme alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase. The major symptoms of the disease are cognitive and neurological defects. In this study, the molecular spectrums of 13 MPS IIIB patients were evaluated. Material and methods Thirteen MPS IIIB patients from 11 families were included in this study. All patients were both clinically and molecularly diagnosed. NAGLU gene sequencing was performed using a next generation sequencing platform (Illumina MiSeq). Demographic, clinical and laboratory findings of the patients were obtained via the hospital records. Results Ten different mutations from the 13 MPS IIIB patients were identified. Eight of the 10 mutations were missense, one was splice site, and one large deletion was also observed. Two mutations c.509G>T (p.Gly170Val) and c.700C>G (p.Arg234Gly) have been defined for the first time in this study. Conclusion Our study expanded the mutation spectrum of the NAGLU gene thereby contributing to the improved genetic counselling of MPS IIIB patients. Confirming the literature, missense mutations were also found to be the most common NAGLU mutations in our study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and intracorporeal urinary diversion are only performed in a few centers of excellence worldwide. Functional and oncologic outcomes are comparable. We report on our experience with RARC and intracorporeal diversion. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified 86 RARCs in 72 men and 14 women (mean age 69.7 years). All patients underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy followed by intracorporeal urinary diversion using ileal conduit or neobladder. Of the 86 patients, 24 patients (28%) underwent intracorporeal ileal conduit and 62 patients (72%) underwent intracorporeal neobladder formation. A Studer pouch was created in all who underwent intracorporeal neobladder diversion. Cancer specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) are reported. RESULTS The mean operative time was 418.9 min (range 205-690 min) and blood loss was 380 ml (range 100-1000 ml). The mean hospital stay was 17.5 days (range 5-62 days). All the surgeries were completed with no open conversions. Minor complications (grade I and II) were reported in 23 patients, while major complications (grade III and above) were reported in 21 patients. The mean nodal yield was 20.3 (range 0-46). Positive margins were found in in 8%. The average follow-up was 31.5 months (range 3-52 months). Continence could be achieved in 88% of patients who received an intracorporeal neobladder. The cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were 80% and 70%, respectively. CONCLUSION RARC with intracorporeal diversion seems to be safe and reproducible in tertiary centers with robotic expertise. Operative times are acceptable and complications as well as functional and oncologic outcomes are comparable. Further standardization of RARC with intracorporeal diversion may lead to a wider adoption of the approach.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the TLR-4 gene TLR4 c.896A < G polymorphism on the development and clinical severity of urinary tract infections (UTI) and renal scar formations in children. The patients with first diagnosis of UTI (n = 112) and healthy controls (n = 93) were enrolled in the study. The TLR4 c.896A < G polymorphism was analysed in groups. The mean age of the patients in the study group was 8.1 ± 3.5 years and 9.2 ± 2.7 years for those in the control group. The TLR4 c.896A < G polymorphism was detected in 12.5% in the UTI group and in 15.1% of the control group. Forty patients showed pyelonephritis (PN) with scar tissue, 37 patients had PN without scars, and 35 patients had lower UTI. The TLR4 c.896A < G polymorphism was found in 22.5% of patients with scar-positive PN, and it was also present in 10.8% of patients with scar-negative PN and 2.9% of patients with lower UTI. We found higher TLR4 c.896A < G polymorphism and allelic frequency in patients with upper UTI compared to patients with lower UTI (P = 0.041 and P = 0.039, respectively). No significant difference was observed between patients and the control group for TLR-4 c.896A3. The TLR4 c.896A < G polymorphism and alleles were higher in patients with upper UTI than in patients with lower UTI. The TLR4 c.896A < G polymorphism frequency was nearly twice that in the scar-positive PN patients when compared to the scar-negative patients. Larger-scale studies involving larger numbers of patients should be performed.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the 5-HT3 antagonist, ondansetron and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, diclofenac sodium, as a pain reliever in the treatment of acute ureteral colic. Sixty four patients with severe or moderate pain who were clinically diagnosed as having ureteral colic associated with microscopic or gross hematuria were included in the study. Thirty three patients were administered ondansetron and 31 patients were administered diclofenac sodium. Exclusion critera were known kidney or liver disease causing dysfunction, known hypersensitivity to ondansetron or diclofenac sodium, pregnancy, lactation, duodenal ulcer or bleeding. After pain assessment with a verbal scale and a visual analog scale (VAS), we randomized patients and administered 8 mg ondansetron intravenously to 33 patients and 75 mg diclofenac sodium intramuscularly to 31 patients and pain scores were recorded every 15 minutes. If significant pain relief was not achieved within 60 minutes, i.v. meperidine was given as rescue pain medication. Ondansetron was effective as a primary pain reliever in 14 (42.4%) patients, whereas 19 patients required additional medication. Diclofenac sodium was effective as a primary pain reliever in 24 (77.4%) patients, whereas 7 patients required additional medication. Ondansetron was not superior to diclofenac sodium in relieving pain in patients with acute ureteral colic.
