prostatitis/edema

UNASSIGNED To investigate the expressions of substance P (SP) and neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) in the posterior horn of the L5－S2 spinal cord in the rat model of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (CNP) at different time points of modeling. METHODS Forty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on E coliinduced prostatitis in rats. METHODS BMSCs were isolated, cultured and amplified by the attached choice method. Fifty SD rats were randomized into five groups of equal number: normal control, acute

Active substance of vitaprost is a complex of water-soluble biologically active peptides isolated from bovine prostate. The prostatic extract has an organotropic action in relation to the prostate. As all peptide bioregulators, prostatic extract has antiaggregant and anticoagulant properties,

The pathogenesis of nonbacterial prostatitis (NBP) is not understood mainly due to the lack of appropriate experimental models. We developed a new experimental model of NBP by inducing a partial obstruction of the urethra (PUO) in the rat. Male Wistar rats aged 12 weeks were used. PUO was produced

BACKGROUND The prevalence of prostatitis is extremely high, with vast majority belongs to National Institutes of Health Category III: Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes (CPPS). The etiology of CP/CPPS is noninfectious, with no precise mechanisms has been elucidated to

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effects of phytosterols on abacterial prostatitis and discuss the possible mechanism. METHODS Xiaozhiling-induced chronic prostatitis model were used to observe the inhibitory effect of phytosterols on abacterial prostatitis. The changes of serum IL-2,

Aims: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) causes long-standing pain and/or storage symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the likelihood of deterioration of bladder sensation in a carrageenan-induced CP/CPPS model

BACKGROUND Abacopteris penangiana (Hook.) Ching (AP) is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and dampness and for the treatment of edema and inflammation. In order to further support and develop the traditional use of Abacopteris penangiana as

The exact etiology and pathogenesis of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) are still unknown, as a result, available therapeutic options for patients are far from satisfactory. Therefore, there is a need to develop a valid therapeutic approach that can ameliorate the

OBJECTIVE To confirm the hypothesis of prostatic stromal involvement in chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). METHODS A literature review to analyze mechanisms commonly indicated as a cause of CP/CPPS that can interfere with the processes of cell growth of smooth muscle

OBJECTIVE Prostatitis in men is a painful, noninfectious inflammatory condition. It is similar to interstitial cystitis which is associated with increased bladder mast cell and sensory nerve fiber density as well as suprapubic pain. Certain strains of rats may provide a useful model for studies of

BACKGROUND Atypical prostate hyperplasia, resembling PIN lesions in men, together with chronic inflammatory exudates, have been reported after chronic administration of phenylephrine (PE). The present study aims to characterize the evolution of the expression of typical leukocyte markers

A 23-year-old African native male patient presented with fever, lumbalgia and dysuria after returning from a trip to Togo. His physical examination revealed pain over the pubic symphysis and rectal tenderness on digital exam. The C-reactive protein (CRP) level was elevated along with positive blood

Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is uncommon with an incidence reported as 0.33-1.96 abscesses per 10,000 hospital admissions per year. Two-thirds of the cases were caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a less common cause of SEA, and it is usually after
