Summary: The study found a correlation between prostate-specific antigen velocity (PSAV) and the surgical outcome of thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP), with a cutoff value of -0.52 ng/ml for PSAV to guide postoperative follow-up treatment at 3 months after benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery.

Summary: The combination of DKI and PSA derivatives has a higher diagnostic efficiency in distinguishing prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia, with a higher AUC value than the individual PSA indicators, and may play an important role in clinical diagnosis.

Summary: This study investigates the potential relationship between human microbiota and prostatic disease by analyzing stool and urine samples from patients. The results suggest that the microbiota composition in urine samples is different among different patient populations, indicating a potential link between microbiota and prostatic disease.

Summary: This review article discusses the role of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in prostate diseases and their potential as therapeutic targets. HSPs are overexpressed in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa), and play roles in maintaining cell homeostasis, protein folding and repair, as well as immune response and apoptosis.

Summary: Phloretin, a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative flavonoid, shows promising effects in treating BPH and PCa, based on animal and in-vitro studies. Further research is needed regarding its safety and effective dosages in human clinical trials.

Summary: Lymphocytes expanded from BPH tissue samples can recognize tumor antigens and autologous tissue independently from the presence of tumor lesions. These findings support the connection between BPH and prostate cancer and may lead to personalized preventive vaccination strategies for patients with BPH.

Summary: The aim of this study was to describe the level of pre-testing and contamination in the Goteborg-1 prostate cancer screening trial. The results showed that similar proportions of men were prostate specific antigen-tested in both the screening group and control group, yet only a minority of contamination prostate specific antigens led to biopsy. Organized screening was found to be more effective in reducing prostate cancer mortality than non-organized testing.

Summary: LPKTT capsules inhibit prostate proliferation in rats induced by testosterone propionate, reducing micturition frequency, increasing voided volume, and showing similar effects to positive controls in terms of reducing prostate weight and the ratio of prostate weight to body weight.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between post-transurethral enucleation of the prostate nadir prostate-specific antigen level and prostate cancer. The findings suggest that a post-operative nadir prostate-specific antigen level of >= 1.7 ng/ml predicts significant residual cancer, while patients with low post-operative levels can be managed conservatively.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between prostate volume (PV), total PSA (tPSA), and free PSA (fPSA) in men with histologically diagnosed BPH. The results show significant correlations between PV and both tPSA and fPSA. This suggests that PV can be estimated based on the given PSA values.

Summary: The intake of FruHis enhances the beneficial effects of lycopene on IGF-1, TPSA, and symptom scores among BPH patients. However, these effects are not statistically significant.

Summary: This study provides a summary and comparison of different laser-based enucleation techniques for benign prostate hyperplasia, finding that en-bloc and two-lobe techniques are safe alternatives with comparable surgical outcomes and similar functional results to the three-lobe technique. En-bloc and two-lobe techniques demonstrate superior enucleation efficiency compared to the three-lobe technique.

Summary: This study investigated the false screening rates in men taking 5-ARIs who underwent PSA testing, and whether the ordering physicians noticed false negative findings. The study found that more than a quarter of men with false negative tests were missed, and the likelihood of identifying false negative results was lower when the ordering physician was not a urologist.

Summary: The study examined the detergent-sensitivity patterns of membrane-associated prostasomal proteins, revealing differences in molecular complex distribution between normal physiology and conditions of low sperm count. These findings suggest that the solubilization signature can serve as a comprehensive distinction factor for evaluating the surface properties of specific vesicles and their potential implications in health and disease research.
