The aim of the study was to compare the serum profile of transferrin isoforms between SLE and SSc. The study was carried out in 38 patients with SLE and 43 patients with SSc. Transferrin isoforms were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis method. Among the transferrin isoforms only the level of pentasialotransferrin in SLE patients was significantly higher than in SSc patients (p = .014). The median concentrations of trisialotransferrin and pentasialotransferrin were significantly lower in SLE patients (p  less then  .001, p = .042; respectively) and SSc (p = .001, p  less then  .001; respectively) than in the healthy subjects. In contrast, the level of tetrasialotransferrin manifested significant increase in comparison to the controls (p  less then  .001 for all comparisons). The serum profile of transferrin isoforms alters in SLE and SSc but only level of pentasialotransferrin differs between SLE and SSc patients. We confirm that the serum profile of transferrin isoforms in SLE and SSc is unique to these diseases.Objective To determine the factors affecting the outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in patients in infantile/toddler and preschool age group. Materials and Methods The data of 186 renal units from 152 patients who underwent PCNL were retrospectively analyzed. Patients under ≤72 months of age were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to their age infantile/toddler and preschool group. Demographics and stone features were compared between infantile/toddler and preschool age groups. Effects of different factors on complications and stone-free rates were investigated. Comparisons in the study were done using SPSS 24.0 software for Windows. Results The mean age of the patients was 40.5 ± 16.5 months, and the fe
