1. A Novel Approach for the Treatment of Radiation-Induced Hemorrhagic Cystitis with the GreenLight™ XPS Laser
ABSTRACT Introduction: The treatment of pelvic malignancies with radiotherapy can develop severe sequelae, especially radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis. It is a progressive disease that can lead to the need for blood transfusion, hospitalizations, and surgical interventions. This tends to affect the quality of life of

2. Periurethral constrictor: late results of the treatment of post prostatectomy urinary incontinence
OBJECTIVES: We evaluated retrospectively, the long-term outcome of patients with post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPUI) after placement of the Periurethral Constrictor (PUC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-six men with severe PPUI were studied, with a mean age of 68.5 years old. Fifty-one men had PPUI due to radical surgery having the device placed aro

3. Risk factors for bone loss with prostate cancer in Korean men not receiving androgen deprivation therapy
PURPOSE: Preexisting bone loss in men with prostate cancer is an important issue due to the accelerated bone loss during androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). In addition, a high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level has been reported to be related to bone metabolism. This study assessed the factors associated with osteoporosis in Korean men with non-metastati

4. Perfis das distroglicanas e morfo-fisiologia do lobo ventral da prostata de camundongos distroficos / Dystroglycans and laminin BETA 3 features on the prostate of mdx mice
The prostate is a fundamental accessory sex gland for the male reproductive process and the stroma-epithelium interaction has an important role in prostate structural maintenance and function. The basal membrane is an interaction link, offering mechanical and physiological support. Nowadays, different studies suggest that dystroglycan (DG), which is an adhes

5. Smooth muscle cell behavior of rat ventral prostate after androgen deprivation in vivo and mechanical stretch assay in vitro / Comportamento da celula muscular lisa da prostata ventral de ratos apos privação androgenica in vivo e sob estiramento mecanico in vitro
Smooth muscle cells (SMC) are the main component of the prostatic stroma and play important roles in the organ physiology, acting on the contraction associated with ejaculation and on the remodeling related to neoplasias or androgen deprivation, on the production of paracrine factors and the synthesis/degradation/reorganization of extracellular matrix compon

6. Regulação hormonal da prostata de femeas do gerbilo : avaliação estrutural, citoquimica e imunocitoquimica / Hormonal regulation of the gerbil female propstate: morphology, cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry
The female prostate is a functionally active gland found in several species of mammals, including humans and rodents. In adult female gerbils, the prostate presents a paraurethral location, showing close contact with the wall of urethra in its median and distal portions. This gland is homologue to the ventral prostate of male rodents and it is formed by a cl

7. Polymorphic inheritance of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and the cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes, susceptibility to prostate cancer and prognostic / Analise do perfil genotipico do sistema glutationa S-transferase e citocromo P450 na avaliação de susceptibilidade ao cancer de prostata e de prognostico
Prostate cancer is currently the most common malignancy worldwide, second only to skin tumors. The incidence of prostate cancer has risen dramatically over the last decade, more than can be explained just by the increase in longevity. It is also apparent that prostate cancer is now being detected at less advanced stages than in the past. Increased awareness

8. The induction of prostatic hypertrophy in the dog with androstanediol.
The effects of androstanediol and estradiol on prostatic growth were investigated in castrate dogs. Estrogens along resulted in no significant change in prostatic weight, whereas androstanediol produced growth comparable to that in uncastrated controls. Androstanediol plus estradiol resulted in an even more striking increase in prostate growth. Approximately

9. Correlation between androgen receptor expression and FGF8 mRNA levels in patients with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hypertrophy.
AIM: To investigate the correlation between androgen receptor expression and fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) mRNA levels. METHODS: 39 human prostate cancers and 14 benign prostatic hypertrophy specimens were examined immunohistochemically for androgen receptor expression and by in situ hybridisation and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for F

10. Dihydrotestosterone in prostatic hypertrophy: I. The formation and content of dihydrotestosterone in the hypertrophic prostate of man
To explore the relation between androgens and prostatic hypertrophy in man, the concentrations of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and androstenedione and the rate of conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone have been measured in normal and hypertrophic prostate tissue. First, a double isotope derivative technique was adapted for the measurement o

12. Dihydrotestosterone in prostatic hypertrophy: II. The formation and content of dihydrotestosterone in the hypertrophic canine prostate and the effect of dihydrotestosterone on prostate growth in the dog
Three types of studies have been performed in immature, mature, and hypertrophic prostate glands of the dog. First, the concentrations of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have been measured in the three types of gland. Dihydrotestosterone was the predominant hormone recovered in all prostates studied and was present in approximately five times higher con
