7.7. Regenerative Medicine of the Urinary Tract
1655-LekM4CNMREG-J
Seminars for the subject regenerative medicine of the urinary tract will allow to bring closer the definition of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in urology. Possibilities of regeneration of urinary tract elements using in vitro cell culture will be discussed. Cell types and materials suitable for regeneration of these structures will also be analyzed. During the tutorials the possibilities of regeneration of of the urinary tract elements will be discussed. Previous attempts on bladder, urethra, kidney regeneration and stress urinary incontinence treatment will be presented. Particular emphasis will be placed on discussion about conducted clinical trials, however, experimental studies will also be analyzed. The aim of the course is to assess the possibilities of using tissue engineering methods in clinical urology as well as to learn the limitations of these methods.

Assessment criteria
Assessment methods:
- task implementation: oral or multimedia presentation (0-40 points): W2-W4; U1-U3
- didactic discussion (0-20 points) K1-K3
Credit based on the appropriate number of points (0-60 points > 60%)
Students who have received the maximum number of points form task implementation will be given the option of completing the course within early additional exam.
- final test (20 questions); the condition of passing the test is to obtain 60% of points: W1-W4; U1-U3.
<12 failed
≥12 credit
Assessment criteria:
The exam consists of 20 single choice test questions. Basic percentage calculations transferring the correct answers onto the scale of grades are as follows (pursuant to the criteria applied by the Medical Examination Centre). Grades are awarded pursuant to the number of points, according to the table below:
fail – 0-10 pts (0-55%)
satisfactory – 11-13 pts (56-67%)
satisfactory plus – 14-15 pts (68-75%)
good – 16-17 pts (76-83%)
good plus – 18 pts (84-91%)
very good – 19-20 pts (92-100%)
Extended observation (0 – 10 points; >50%): K1 – K3
