prostatitis/phosphatase

Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) is uniquely expressed in prostatic tissue and prostate cancer. In this study, the immunogenicity of PAP was investigated in a male rat model. We show that immunization with recombinant rat or human PAP in CFA leads to a significant Ab response, but does not generate

Prostatitis, BPH, and P.Ca are the most frequent pathologies of the prostate gland that are responsible for morbidity in men. Raised levels of PSA are seen in different pathological conditions involving the prostate. PAP levels are altered in inflammatory or infectious or abnormal growth of the

Steryl ferulate (SF) is a bioactive mixture extracted from rice bran and shows higher inhibitory activity against inflammation than the corresponding free sterols. In this study, the aim was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect and prostate gene expression profiling of SF using a

Granulomatous prostatitis and poorly differentiated prostate carcinoma can mimic each other both clinically and histologically. To develop criteria useful in resolving problem cases, the authors compared the reactivities of these conditions (nine cases of granulomatous prostatitis and six cases of

OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effects of Pomegranate peel extracts (PPE) on experimental prostatitis rats. METHODS The Prostatitis model was established by injection of carrageenan and Staphylococcus aureus in rat prostate. After 9 days' treatments of PPE, the rats were sacrificed for

Prostatic acid phosphatase was determined with Merck-Kanto's test kit on the cases of prostatic cancer experienced at our University Hospital from August in 1983 to February in 1985. Untreated cases were 4 stage A cases, 1 stage B case, 3 stage C cases, 3 stage D1 cases and 12 stage D2 cases. Nine

Nonbacterial prostatitis is often difficult to differentiate from other prostatic complaints and remains a vaguely characterized syndrome. Prostatic fluid inflammatory cells and elevated immunoglobulins raise the suspicion that this syndrome is caused by some undetected infection. Prostatic fluid

The article presents the results of evaluation of efficacy of new drug prostatilen AC (rectal suppositories), containing regulatory peptides of the bovine prostate and zinc arginate-glycinate complex, in the treatment of prostatitis. The experiment was conducted on 40 Sprague-Dawley rats weighing

Granulomatous prostatitis may result from tuberculosis and fungal infection and has been described following prostatic surgery. In most cases, however, the aetiology is unknown, although it may be due to a reaction to extravasated or altered prostatic secretions. We have investigated cells

A prospective study comparing a new radioimmunologic and a classical enzymatic assay for prostatic acid phosphatase was done to evaluate their respective roles in patients with prostatic diseases. We studied 50 patients with cancer of the prostate, 101 with benign prostatic hypertrophy and 17 with

We assayed prostatic specific antigen and prostatic acid phosphatase serum levels in 1,383 patients using a double antibody radioimmunoassay (RIA) 125I. Establishing the upper normal limit in 10 ng/ml for prostatic specific antigen and 2.5 ng/ml for prostatic acid phosphatase, the false positive

Fifty men with cytologically confirmed chronic prostatitis were treated for 3 months by consecutive p.o. administration of doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, and cephalexin. The subjective symptoms, palpatory findings, secretory capacity of the accessory genital glands (values of acid

A high incidence of spontaneous, non-acute, age-dependent prostatitis was observed in the lateral prostate of Copenhagen rats and Wistar rats. The lumen of infected acini was filled with polymorphonuclear leucocytes, shed epithelial cells and cell residues. Epithelial cells lining such acini showed
