there are increasing data on novel tumor markers such as gelatinase a, which play a key role in tissue invasion and metastasis. since prostate cancer is one of the common malignancies, we designed a simple and applicable indi¬rect hemagglutination (iha) test for determination of total gelatinase a in se¬rum samples. in this study, we have analyzed the circulating form of gelatinase a (mmp-2) in...

conclusions w. coagulans inhibits the development of bph can be useful for the treatment of this condition. results the present study revealed that bph caused elevation of mda levels, suppression of tac levels, and increased pcna expression in the prostate gland. interestingly, in a dose-dependent manner, wce caused decreased mda levels and increased tac levels in the prostate gland, compared t...

Histological staining of reactive stroma has been shown to be a predictor of biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer, however, molecular markers of the stromal response to prostate cancer have not yet been fully delineated. The objective of this study was to determine whether or not the stromal biomarkers detected with a thioredoxin-targeted nanodevice could be used to distinguish the stroma ...

Aim: to improve the outcomes of surgical treatment benign prostatic hyperplasia by bipolar transurethral resection based on personalized approach. Materials and methods. Surgical prostate was carried out in 50 patients: approach, that is extensive preoperative preparation, adopted 25 cases, standard procedure implemented rest cases. Functional were assessed 1, 3 6 months aft er surgery, taking ...

Promoter hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes has been confirmed to serve a pivotal role in tumorigenesis. Protocadherin 8 (PCDH8), a novel tumor suppressor gene, has been reported to be inactivated by promoter hypermethylation a number of cancer types, including bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of PCDH8 hypermethylati...

Thirty cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and 30 cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma were selected and stained by AgNOR (argyrophilic staining of the nucleolar organizer region) method. Specimens were obtained by either prostatectomy (open!TIJR) or needle biopsy of the prostate. In this study, the sections of prostatic adenocarcinoma were reviewed. 6 cases were diagnosed as well-differen...
