Recent studies and analyses have confirmed that baseline prostate volume is related to progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as well as to negative outcomes related to BPH, such as acute urinary retention (AUR) and need for surgery, and can also predict response to therapy. Other investigations have determined that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level has good predictive value for assessing prostate volume. Strong evidence exists that baseline serum PSA level, like baseline prostate volume, predicts future prostate growth. Randomized placebo-controlled finasteride trials have shown that men with larger prostate volumes and higher PSA levels experience a clinically significant response to therapy compared with those with smaller prostate volumes and lower PSA levels. It has also been demonstrated that men with larger prostate glands and higher PSA levels are at increased risk for AUR and BPH-related surgery but that finasteride reduces these risks. Moreover, doxazosin and finasteride, alone and in combination, have been shown to significantly reduce BPH clinical progression. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate nuclear volume estimates by the point-sampled intercepts method in atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) as compared with nodular hyperplasia and well-differentiated prostatic adenocarcinoma. STUDY DESIGN: The study group consisted of 27 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, whole-mounted radical prostatectomy specimens that contained foci of nodular hyperplasia, atypical adenomatous hyperplasia and well-differentiated adenocarcinoma (Gleason pattern 1 and 2). Representative sections were selected for stereologic estimation of volume-weighted mean nuclear volume by the point-sampled intercepts method. On each focus, an average of five fields of vision were systematically chosen. RESULTS: The quantitative results indicate an increase in nuclear volume from nodular hyperplasia (209 +/- 65 micron 3) to AAH (237 +/- 85 micron 3) and prostate adenocarcinoma (436 +/- 106 micron 3). Significant differences were found (F = 39.0, P < .001) with two group comparisons (Scheffe's procedure) between prostate cancer and AAH (P < .001) or nodular hyperplasia (P < .001). The difference between AAH and benign hyperplasia was not signifcant. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that three-dimensional estimates of the nuclear size discriminate AAH and nodular hyperplasia from well-differentiated prostate adenocarcinoma. These findings suggest that AAH is probably a histologic variant of benign prostatic hyperplasia the exact relationship of which to prostatic adenocarcinoma remains to be determined. 相似文献

The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. Phase 3 studies of the safety and effectiveness of alpha-blockers (eg, terazosin and doxazosin) and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (eg, finasteride) for the treatment of BPH began to appear in the literature in 1992. This article reviews the results of landmark studies of these agents, either separately as monotherapy or as combined therapy, for the treatment of BPH. The relationship between prostate size and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is discussed. Although prostate volume is not as strongly correlated with these symptoms as was once believed, it has been shown to be an important predictor of risk for developing acute urinary retention. alpha-Blockers represent an effective treatment for LUTS independent of prostate volume; the clinical benefit of finasteride for LUTS is limited primarily to men with large prostates. Finasteride decreases the risk of progression to acute urinary retention and the requirement for surgical intervention; this benefit is greatest in men with enlarged prostates. 相似文献

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are a common occurrence in aging men, causing bother and interference with daily activities and affecting disease-specific quality of life. There is increasing evidence to suggest that, in many patients, the signs and symptoms of BPH are progressive. Progression can be measured as continued growth of the prostate gland; worsening of symptoms, bother, or quality of life; deterioration of urinary flow rate; episodes of acute urinary retention (AUR); and need for prostate-related surgery. Furthermore, it has become clear that the risk of disease progression increases with age as well as with increasing prostate volume and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. The 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor finasteride has been shown not only to improve symptoms, bother, and quality of life but also to prevent progression to AUR and surgery, with a relative risk reduction of over 50%. As the risk for such progression is higher in patients with larger glands or higher serum PSA values at baseline, it is in those patients that finasteride induces an even greater risk reduction, making it a cost-effective treatment choice for patients with LUTS associated with prostatic enlargement. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients with liver cirrhosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 1995 and August 2001, 216 men with cirrhosis were evaluated. The extent of their liver disease was classified according to the Child-Pugh classification. Serum PSA levels were measured with the Hybritech Tandem-R RIA method and matched with age-related reference PSA levels. Digital rectal examination (DRE) was performed in all patients. Patients with elevated PSA levels and/or abnormal DRE were recommended to undergo further assessment including transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) and biopsy performed by an urologist. RESULTS: Two hundred and sixteen men (mean age 54.09 +/- 9.09 years, range 25-76) with cirrhosis were examined. Their mean PSA value was 0.57 +/- 0.84 ng/mL and tended to be lower than in the normal population. The degree of PSA decrease was found to parallel the severity of the liver disease (p=0.002). The mean serum PSA level increased with each age decade in a statistically significant manner (p<0.001). Four patients (three with elevated PSA values) underwent prostate biopsy. Three biopsies were positive for prostate cancer, the other showed evidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). CONCLUSION: Serum PSA is influenced by the severity of liver disease and its levels tend to be lower in cirrhotic patients than in the normal population. However, serum PSA can still be considered a reliable marker in the clinical management of prostatic disease in patients with cirrhosis. 相似文献

Finasteride, a 4-aza steroid compound, is an orally active inhibitor of the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme. 5 alpha-Reductase is necessary for the metabolism of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and is found in high levels only in certain tissues such as the prostate. Finasteride has been shown to markedly suppress serum DHT levels in man without lowering testosterone levels. In patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), finasteride was found to decrease prostate volume by a mean of 28% over a period of 6 months, without causing clinically significant adverse effects. DHT appears to be the primary androgen for prostatic growth. Selective inhibition of 5 alpha-reductase by finasteride may provide a novel approach to BPH therapy by reducing prostate size without affecting T-dependent processes such as fertility, muscle strength, and libido. The clinical development of finasteride for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia is reviewed. 相似文献

Finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, dramatically suppresses the production of dihydrotestosterone in men; thus, attention has turned to this agent for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A number of randomized clinical trials have studied finasteride's effects on prostate size, BPH symptoms, flow rate, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. Although the decrease in symptoms with finasteride therapy has been modest compared with more invasive treatments, its use has resulted in sustained reductions in prostatic volume and PSA level with minimal adverse effects. Fewer surgeries for BPH, as well as a decreased incidence of acute urinary retention, have also been seen with finasteride therapy. More research is needed to maximize the effectiveness of such medical therapy for BPH. 相似文献

This study was designed to investigate (a) the presence of protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), ubiquitin, and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the neuroendocrine and secretory epithelium of the human normal prostate and its secretions, and (b) the changes in immunoreactivity to these proteins in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Western blotting and light microscopic immunohistochemistry techniques were used and the numerical density of immunoreactive neuroendocrine cells, and the volume fractions of immunostained secretory epithelium were evaluated. Western blotting revealed the presence of the three antigens in both tissue homogenates and prostate secretion. Some neuroendocrine cells immunoreacted to PGP 9.5 and NPY in all the prostate regions of control specimens. Ubiquitin immunoreactivity was detected in the nuclei from both basal cells and secretory epithelial cells. The cytoplasm of the secretory cells and the glandular lumen also showed immunostaining for the three proteins. The numerical densities of both PGP 9.5 and NPY neuroendocrine cells were lower in hyperplasia than in controls. No differences in the volume fraction occupied by epithelial immunostaining to both proteins was found between hyperplastic and control prostates. We concluded that (a) PGP 9.5 and NPY, but not ubiquitin, are common antigens in both neuroendocrine and secretory prostate cells, (b) the three immunoreactive proteins contribute to the prostate secretions, and (c) the secretion of ubiquitin is markedly diminished in the hyperplastic epithelium.(J Histochem Cytochem 48:1121-1130, 2000) 相似文献

Total androgen receptor content of ventral or dorsolateral prostate of intact, aged (730–740 day old) rats is decreased 50% when compared to intact, young mature (150–170 day old) rats. Treatment with exogenous testosterone increased ventral and dorsolateral prostate androgen receptor content per cell in aged rats to values identical to those of prostates of young mature rats. The increase in prostate receptor content was not attributable to testosterone mediated cellular hypertrophy or hyperplasia. At 24 hr post-orchiectomy ventral prostate cytoplasmic androgen receptors are depleted of endogenous androgen, without any decrease in number of receptors per cell, and nuclear androgen receptors are undetectable. During 30 to 60 min after a single 200 μg testosterone injection, ventral prostate nuclear receptor content increased to the level of intact control rats without producing any reduction in total cytoplasmic androgen receptor content. Although dorsolateral prostate is devoid of cytoplasmic androgen receptor, the effects of orchiectomy and testosterone treatment upon nuclear androgen receptor are comparable to those seen in ventral prostate. These effects of orchiectomy and testosterone injection upon prostatic receptor content and distribution were identical in prostates of young and aged rats. Our studies show that receptor processing in prostates of young and aged rats does not involve a process by which nuclear receptor is derived by depletion of cytoplasmic receptor. Moreover, our studies of the effect of short-term (48 hr) exogenous testosterone treatment upon androgen receptor content in prostates of aged rats are the first demonstration that androgen receptor content may be enhanced independent of generalized androgen mediated anabolic effects in prostate. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Controversy exists as to the influence of inflammatory foci on total and free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations. The objective was to analyze the biological variations of PSA and percent free PSA (%f-PSA) in patients with biochemical criteria for prostate biopsy (PSA higher than 4 ng/mL and normal rectal examination) and compare them with the variation induced by antibiotic treatment in a cohort of patients with a history of lower urinary tract infections and no clinical evidence of prostatitis. METHODS: Ninety patients with a history of lower urinary tract infections, non-suspicious digital rectal examination and PSA between 4 and 20 ng/mL were analyzed. PSA concentration and %f-PSA were determined. Forty-five patients were treated with three weeks of ofloxacin, following which marker determination was repeated. All patients underwent ultrasound-controlled transrectal six-core prostate biopsy. RESULTS: Sixty-seven patients presented benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (30 with prostatitic foci) and 23 cancer. Significant variations in PSA (6.97 ng/mL vs. 5.82 ng/mL, p=0.001) and %f-PSA (14.84% vs. 17.53%, p=0.01) were found only in the treated patients. These differences were significant for patients with BPH-associated prostatitic foci and not for patients with BPH or cancer. The tendency was for PSA to decrease (15 treated patients with PSA <4 ng/mL vs. six non-treated patients) and for %f-PSA to increase. The median variation of %f-PSA was greater than that of PSA. When the cutoff for %f-PSA was set at 25%, 18.9% of unnecessary biopsies after the first determination and 20% after the second could be avoided. By associating the reduction in PSA, up to 46% could be avoided in treated patients. CONCLUSION: Biochemical criteria for prostate biopsy may be modified in patients with a history of lower urinary tract infections due to variations greater than those explained by intraindividual biological variations, and may be influenced by the antibiotic treatment. These results suggest that subclinical inflammatory foci may influence PSA and %f-PSA. 相似文献

ObjectiveIn the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT), finasteride reduced the risk of prostate cancer by 25%, even though high-grade prostate cancer was more common in the finasteride group. However, it remains to be determined whether finasteride concentrations may affect prostate cancer risk. In this study, we examined the association between serum finasteride concentrations and the risk of prostate cancer in the treatment arm of the PCPT and determined factors involved in modifying drug concentrations.MethodsData for this nested case-control study are from the PCPT. Cases were drawn from men with biopsy-proven prostate cancer and matched controls. Finasteride concentrations were measured using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry validated assay. The association of serum finasteride concentrations with prostate cancer risk was determined by logistic regression. We also examine whether polymorphisms in the enzyme target and metabolism genes of finasteride are related to drug concentrations using linear regression.
Results and Conclusions
Among men with detectable finasteride concentrations, there was no association between finasteride concentrations and prostate cancer risk, low-grade or high-grade, when finasteride concentration was analyzed as a continuous variable or categorized by cutoff points. Since there was no concentration-dependent effect on prostate cancer, any exposure to finasteride intake may reduce prostate cancer risk. Of the twenty-seven SNPs assessed in the enzyme target and metabolism pathway, five SNPs in two genes, CYP3A4 (rs2242480; rs4646437; rs4986910), and CYP3A5 (rs15524; rs776746) were significantly associated with modifying finasteride concentrations. These results suggest that finasteride exposure may reduce prostate cancer risk and finasteride concentrations are affected by genetic variations in genes responsible for altering its metabolism pathway.Trial Registration

The conversion of testosterone (T) to 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) has been demonstrated in Penicillium crustosum broth obtained from fermented pistachios, lemons and corn tortillas. Furthermore, the presence of 5alpha-reductase enzyme, which is responsible for this conversion, has been established by electrophoretical techniques in these cultures.5alpha-Reductase enzyme is also present in animal and human androgen-dependent tissues as well as in prostate and seminal vesicles. The increase of the conversion of T to DHT in prostate gland, has been related to some illnesses such as benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer. Furthermore, treatment with 5alpha-reductase inhibitors such as finasteride reduces the prostate growth. These data have stimulated research for the synthesis of new molecules with antiandrogenic activity, whose biological effect needs to be demonstrated.The purpose of this study is to determine the inhibition pattern of 5alpha-reductase in P. crustosum by finasteride and the new steroidal compound PM-9. K(m) and V(max) values for T, were determined in the broths by Lineweaver-Burk plots using different testosterone concentrations. The inhibition pattern of finasteride and PM-9 was also determined by Lineweaver-Burk using different concentrations of T and inhibitors. Results show that finasteride and PM-9 inhibit 5alpha-reductase present in the broth in a competitive manner. 相似文献

Urethral glands of the male mouse contain secretory component and immunoglobulin A plasma cells and are targets of testosterone. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The occurrence and possible functions of mucosal immunity in the male urogenital tract have not been extensively investigated. In this study we used immunolabeling to localize secretory component (SC) and immunoglobulin (Ig) A in the urogenital tract of the male mouse. SC was located in the ventral prostate, while SC and IgA plasma cells were both detected in the urethral glands in the pelvic and bulbous portions of the urethra. SC and IgA were not observed elsewhere in the urogenital tract. We also examined the ventral prostate and urethral glands of sham-castrated, oil-treated castrated, and testosterone-treated castrated mice. There was a striking reduction in the size of the ventral prostate and urethral glands in oil-treated castrates compared to the other two groups, based on gross and histological morphology. Morphometric analysis showed that the cell and nuclear sizes of the urethral gland acinar cells were reduced after castration and restored to normal size by testosterone treatment. Androgen receptors (AR) were localized in the nuclei of urethral gland cells by immunocytochemistry using anti-AR antibodies. Labeling of SC and IgA plasma cells was similar in the urethral glands and ventral prostates of sham- and testosterone-treated castrates, but was reduced or absent at these sites in oil-treated castrates. These studies show that the ventral prostate and urethral glands may be sites for secretory immunity in the male murine urogenital tract, and that the urethral glands are targets for testosterone. 相似文献
