Objectives To explore the relationship between chronic prostatitis(CP) and prostatic calculi(PC).Methods 500 normal volunteers and 491 patients with CP were measured PC by transrectal B ultrasongraphy(TAUS) ,The patients were divided into calculi and non-calculi group,CPSI scores were obtained.Results ①Discoverable rate of PC was increased with aging in healthy controls(χ2 = 68,p < 0.001) ; ②Discoverable rate of PC was significant difference in every age segment between healthy controls and CP( p <0.001); discoverable rate of PC was 15.79%、30.09%、55.66%、66.15%、82.76% in every age segment with CP respectively; difference in every age segment was significant(p <0.001) ; ③CPSI scores show no significant difference in calculi and non-calculi group(p>0.05).Conclusions Discoverable rate of PC was increased in CP ,and increased with aging; age and CP are imporetant foctor forming PC.     

Prostate calculi in cancer and BPH in a cohort of Korean men：presence of calculi did not correlate with cancer risk

Prostatic calculi are common and are associated with inflammation of the prostate. Recently,it has been suggested that this inflammation may be associated with prostate carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between prostatic calculi and prostate cancer （PCa） in prostate biopsy specimens. We retrospectively analyzed 417 consecutive patients who underwent transrectal ultrasonography （TRUS） and prostate biopsies between January 2005 and January 2008. Based on the biopsy findings,patients were divided into benign prostatic hyperplasia and PCa groups. TRUS was used to detect prostatic calculi and to measure prostate volume.The correlations between PCa risk and age,serum total PSA levels,prostate volume,and prostatic calculi were analyzed. Patient age and PSA,as well as the frequency of prostatic calculi in the biopsy specimens,differed significantly between both the groups （P〈0.05）. In the PCa group,the Gleason scores （GSs） were higher in patients with prostatic calculi than in patients without prostatic calculi （P = 0.023）. Using multivariate logistic regression analysis,we found that patient age,serum total PSA and prostate volume were risk factors for PCa （P = 0.001）,but that the presence of prostatic calculi was not associated with an increased risk of PCa （P = 0.13）. In conclusion,although the presence of prostatic calculi was not shown to be a risk factor for PCa,prostatic calculi were more common in patients with PCa and were associated with a higher GS among these men.     

Are prostatic calculi independent predictive factors of lower urinary tract symptoms？

We determined the correlation between prostatic calculi and lower urinary tract symptoms （LUTS）,as well as the predisposing factors of prostatic calculi. Of the 1 527 patients who presented at our clinic for LUTS,802underwent complete evaluations,including transrectal ultrasonography,voided bladder-3 specimen and international prostatic symptoms score （IPSS）. A total of 335 patients with prostatic calculi and 467 patients without prostatic calculi were divided into calculi and no calculi groups,respectively. Predictive factors of severe LUTS and prostatic calculi were determined using uni/multivariate analysis. The overall IPSS score was 15.7±9.2 and 14.1±9.1 in the calculi and no calculi group,respectively （P = 0.013）. The maximum flow rate was 12.1±6.9 and 14.2±8.2 mL s~（-1） in the calculi and no calculi group,respectively （P = 0.003）. On univariate analysis for predicting factors of severe LUTS,differences on age （P = 0.042）,prostatic calculi （P = 0.048） and prostatitis （P = 0.018） were statistically significant. However,on multivariate analysis,no factor was significant. On multivariate analysis for predisposing factors of prostatic calculi,differences on age （P〈0.001） and prostate volume （P = 0.001） were significant. To our knowledge,patients who have prostatic calculi complain of more severe LUTS. However,prostatic calculi are not an independent predictive factor of severe LUTS. Therefore,men with prostatic calculi have more severe LUTS not only because of prostatic calculi but also because of age and other factors. In addition,old age and large prostate volume are independent predisposing factors for prostatic calculi.

Association between psychological distress and gastrointestinal symptoms in diabetes mellitus

AIM:To examine the possible association between gastrointestinal symptoms and anxiety and depression in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).METHODS:The study was a matched case-control study based on a face to face interview with designed diagnostic screening questionnaires for gastrointestinal(GI) symptoms and T2DM,Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ-9) for depression and General Anxiety Disorders(GAD-7) for anxiety.The questionnaire consisted of questions about symptoms and signs of anxiety and depression disorders.Also,socio-demographic characteristics,life style habits and the family history of patients were collected.It was carried out from June 2010 to May 2011 among Qatari and other Arab nationals over 20 years of age at Primary Health Care Centers of the Supreme Council of Health,Qatar,including patients with diabetes mellitus and healthy subjects over 20 years of age.RESULTS:In the studied sample,most of the studied T2DM patients with GI symptoms(39.3%) and healthy subjects(33.3%) were in the age group 45-54 years(P < 0.001).The prevalence of severe depression(9.5% vs 4.4%,P < 0.001) and anxiety(26.3% vs 13.7%,P < 0.001) was significantly higher in T2DM patients with GI symptoms than in general population.Obesity(35.7% vs 31.2%) and being overweight(47.9% vs 42.8%) were significantly higher in T2DM patients with GI symptoms than in healthy subjects(P = 0.001).Mental health severity score was higher in T2DM patients with GI symptoms than in healthy subjects;depression(8.2 ± 3.7 vs 6.0 ± 3.6) and anxiety(7.6 ± 3.3 vs 6.0 ± 3.7).The most significant GI symptom which was considerably different from controls was early satiety [odds ratio(OR) = 10.8,P = 0.009] in depressed T2DM patients and loose/watery stools(OR = 2.79,P = 0.029) for severe anxiety.Anxiety was observed more than depression in T2DM patients with GI symptoms.CONCLUSION:Gastrointestinal symptoms were significantly associated with depression and anxiety in T2DM patients,especially anxiety disorders.     

Growth hormone secretion and sensitivity in men with idiopathic osteoporosis

Previous studies have suggested that insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its binding proteins (IGFBPs) have a pathogenetic role in idiopathic osteoporosis. To investigate this question further we compared 20 men with idiopathic osteoporosis with 12 healthy, age-matched men regarding growth hormone (GH) secretion and sensitivity. GH samples were drawn every 30 minutes for 24 hours from 12 of the patients and all controls, and cumulated GH secretion (24hGH) was derived. Peak GH secretion (peakGH) was provoked by an insulin tolerance test. There were no differences between the groups in serum IGF-I (162 ± 30 vs 163 ± 47 μg/liter, mean ± SD), IGFBP-3 (2474 ± 263 vs 2568 ± 197 μg/liter), 24hGH (1.34 ± 1.26 vs 0.79 ± 0.43 U), or peakGH (53.0 ± 21.5 vs 44.1 ± 19.8 mU/liter). Patients and controls were given GH (2.4 U/day) for 1 week. Serum levels of markers for bone turnover increased significantly in both groups, with no difference in response to GH between the groups. The increase in urinary bone resorption markers was only significant in the controls. In the patients, but not in the controls, there were significant positive correlations between indices for GH secretion and markers for bone turnover at baseline and significant negative correlations with relative changes in bone markers during GH treatment. In this study no difference in GH secretion was found between men with idiopathic osteoporosis and controls, but the findings suggest that the GH/IGF-I axis could play a regulatory role in bone metabolism in men with this condition.     

Long-term sexual activity status and influencing factors in men after surgery for hypospadias

The aim of this study was to compare the long-term postoperative status of hypospadiac patients by analysing their sexual psychology, sexual behaviour, sexual function and influencing factors. A total of 130 hypospadiac patients hospitalized between January 1988 and December 2007 were followed up with questionnaires using Zung＇s Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）, Self-rating Anxiety Scale （SAS）, a self-designed sexual function questionnaire and a 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function （IIEF-5）. The surveys served to evaluate the effects of hypospadias type, number of operations and surgical procedures on sexual psychology, sexual behaviour and sexual function. The control group consisted of 50 healthy adults. The postoperative SDS / SAS scores and occurrences of depression/anxiety in hypospadiac patients were significantly higher than those of normal controls （P 〈 0.001）. Patients with proximal hypospadias and multiple procedures differed from those with distal hypospadias and a single procedure in all parameters of sexual psychology （P 〈 0.05）. The average penile lengths and circumferences ofhypospadiac patients under either erect or flaccid conditions were significantly shorter than those of normal controls （P 〈 0.001）. A similar difference existed between patients with distal and proximal hypospadias （P 〈 0.01）. There was no significant difference in any parameter of sexual function between patients with different numbers of operations and surgical procedures. Hypospadiac patients were clearly impaired in sexual psychology and penile development. The severity of hypospadias and number of operations were key factors that influenced the sexual psychology of patients. This finding indicated the importance of long-term follow-up and psychological counselling for hypospadiac patients postoperatively.     

急性体液性排斥反应对移植肾预后的影响

Objective To explore the effect of acute humoral rejection on kidney graft survival.Methods 1098 patients received cadaveric renal transplant from January 2002 to December 2008 in our center. All patients were given triple immunosuppressants including tacrolimus or cyclosporine.According to patients who experienced biopsy-proved humoral rejection and cellular rejection within one year post-transplant, there were 53 cases in humoral rejection group, 109 in cellular rejection group (including 63 patients with borderline change), and 936 in normal group. Patients who experienced acute rejection received mythyl-prednisolone pulse, or received anti-CD3 antibody/plasma exchange/globulin. Clinical characteristics before operation including sex, age, HLA mismatch, panel reactive antibody, cold/warm ischemic time, graft loss rate and graft survival were compared among three groups. The effect of completely reversed cellular rejection and humoral rejection on graft survival was analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in sex, age and cold ischemic time among three groups, but there was significant difference in warm ischemic time, level of PRA and HLA mismatch between cellular rejection group or humor rejection group and normal group (P＜0. 05). During a follow-up period, the incidence of graft loss in humoral rejection group was 27.4 %, significantly higher than 7.3 % in cellular rejection group and 2.2 % in normal group, P＜0. 001. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed the survival rate of grafts in humoral rejection group was significantly lower than in cellular rejection group and normal group (P＜0.001 ). After patients with irreversible rejection were excluded,there was no significant difference in the survival rate of grafts among the three groups.Conclusion Patients with acute humoral rejection survived with inferior graft outcome,but completely reversible rejection showed no effect on the graft survival.
