To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 200-W high-intensity diode laser in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.The prostate was vaporized by using a side-firing laser fiber (diode laser: power, 150-200 W; wavelength, 980 nm; Limmer, Germany). The following parameters were assessed at baseline, and after a follow-up period of 1- and 6 months: International Prostate Symptom Score, maximum...
To investigate COX-2 expression in carcinoma and stromal cells in patients with urothelial carcinoma of upper urinary tracts (UCUUT) and determine whether expression patterns are associated with clinical characteristics and survival.We performed immunohistochemistry for COX-2 on paraffin-embedded tumors of UCUUT specimens from 79 patients. We evaluated the level of expression in carcinoma cells, presence...
To expand the clinical use of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) in treating patients with small prostates and symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BTX-A injection into the prostate in patients with voiding dysfunction and large prostates has been reported. Sixteen men with symptomatic BPH, a prostate volume less than 30 cm 3 , peak flow rate less than 12 mL/s, and with refractory disease...
To evaluate the efficacy of gene therapy using a gene gun or direct injection for the transfer of human preproenkephalin (PPE) plasmid cDNA using a capsaicin-induced bladder pain model in rats. Opioid peptides play an essential role in the modulation of micturition reflex and control of inflammatory pain. PPE is one such precursor molecule. Human PPE cDNA was cloned into a modified pCMV plasmid...
