RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A growing number of studies indicate that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play critical roles in human diseases, and show great potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This study aimed to investigate the expression and function of circANKS1B in prostate cancer (PC). METHODS: The expression of circANKS1B and miR-152-3p was analyzed by real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell migration and invasion were measured using a transwell assay. The interaction between circANKS1B and miR-152-3p was confirmed by a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Rescue experiments were conducted to determine whether circANKS1B regulated the invasion of PC cells via the circANKS1B-miR-152-3p-TGF-α pathway. RESULTS: The expression of circANKS1B was markedly upregulated in both PC cells and tissues. Moreover, high circANKS1B expression was associated with poor prognosis in PC patients. Dual-luciferase reporter assay indicated that circANKS1B directly bound to miR-152-3p. Furthermore, circANKS1B negatively regulated miR-152-3p expression. Knockdown of circANKS1B markedly suppressed cell migration and invasion and TGF-α expression in PC cells, whereas the effects of circANKS1B silencing were reversed by miR-152-3p deficiency. In addition, the impact of miR-152-3p silencing on invasion of circANKS1B-deficient PC cells was also abrogated by TGF-α deficiency. Overall, circANKS1B acts as a sponge for miR-152-3p to promote PC progression by upregulating TGF-α expression. CONCLUSION: Our findings reveal that circANKS1B may be a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for PC.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of transurethral resection of the prostate combined with endocrine therapy (TURP + ET) with that of αlA-blockers combined with ET ((αlA-b + ET) in the treatment of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in patients with advanced prostate cancer (PCa), and to investigate the safety of the TURP + ET for the treatment of PCa with BOO. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 63 cases of PCa with BOO, 28 treated by αlA-b + ET and the other 35 by TURP + ET. We obtained the residual urine volume (RV), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and quality of life score (QoL) before and after treatment along with the overall survival rate of the patients, followed by comparison of the parameters between the two methods. RESULTS: At 3 months after treatment, RV, IPSS, and QoL in the TURP + ET group were significantly decreased from (137.8 ± 27.6) ml, (22.3 ± 3.6), and (4.2 ± 0.8) to (29 ± 13.6) ml, (7.8 ± 2.1), and (1.6 ± 0.5) respectively (P < 0.05), while Qmax increased from (5.6 ± 2.1) ml/s to (17.6 ± 2.7) ml/s (P < 0.05); the former three parameters in the αlA-b + ET group decreased from (133.6 ± 24.9) ml, (21.5 ± 3.2), and (4.7 ± 1.1) to (42 ± 18.3) ml, (12.8 ± 2.6), and (2.5 ± 0.7) respectively (P < 0.05), while the latter one increased from (6.3 ± 2.4) ml/s to (11.7 ± 2.3) ml/s (P < 0.05), all with statistically significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). The overall survival rate of the TURP + ET group was not significantly different from that of the αlA-b + ET group (51.4% vs 46.4% , P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: TURP + ET is preferable to αlA-b + ET for its advantage of relieving BOO symptoms in advanced PCa without affecting the overall survival rate of the patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of catheterization before transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy in reducing risk of urethrorrhagia. Currently, transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TPPB) is one of the most commonly used measures to help diagnose prostate cancer. However, whether the retention of catheterization before transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is associated with the reduced risk of urethrorrhagia remains uncertain. METHODS: A cohort study was conducted in our hospital from January 2021 to September 2021. This study included 93 patients who participated in transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. We compared the risk of urethrorrhagia in patients who underwent indwelling catheterization before biopsy and those who did that after biopsy, and performed an unadjusted analysis. We also analyzed the use of related confounding factors to limit the cohort of men, and applied propensity-score adjustment to control potential confounders. Analyses that restricted the cohort men with the related confounding factors and that used propensity-score adjustment to control for potential confounders. RESULTS: A total of 93 men were recruited in the cohort study, and the numbers of patients in group 1 and group 2 were 64 and 29, respectively. There were 34 patients (53.1%) of urethrorrhagia in group 1, and 22 patients (75.8%) of urethrorrhagia in group 2. This was a significant difference between the 2 groups (P = .008). After adjusting for correlative factors, the preoperative catheterization is still a protective factor for postoperative urethrorrhagia through multivariate multiple piecewise linear regression analysis. CONCLUSION: The result of this cohort study suggested that preoperative catheterization can significantly reduce the risk of urethrorrhagia.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the differential diagnosis and treatment of acute scrotum. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of 316 cases of acute scrotum and reviewed the related literature. RESULTS: Among the total number, there were 117 cases of acute epididymitis (37.0%), 76 acute orchitis (24.1%), 39 acute periorchitis (12.3%), 23 acute scrotal infection (7.3%), 21 testicular trauma (6.6%), 17 idiopathic scrotal edema (5.4%), 16 testicular torsion (5.1%), and 7 scrotal gangrene (2.2%). Eighty-one of them underwent surgery and 235 received conservative treatment, of whom 1 with scrotal gangrene died of toxic shock for refusing surgical drainage. Those with testicular torsion all showed positive results in Prehn's test and responded well to surgery. CONCLUSION: Acute scrotum is detrimental to male health, for which early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential.

RESUMO

Peptidyl-prolylcis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (encoded by the PIN1 gene) regulates the conformation of proline-directed phosphorylation sites and is important in the etiology of cancer. Since the identification of a functional polymorphism of PIN1, (-842 G>C; rs2233678), in the PIN1 promoter region, numerous studies have evaluated the association between the PIN1 promoter polymorphism (-842 G>C) and cancer risk. However, the available results are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation, a meta-analysis of seven previous case-control studies was performed, which included 4,524 cases exhibiting different tumor types and 4,561 control subjects. The published literature was retrieved from PubMed and EMBASE. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the strength of the association. Overall, the results of the present study demonstrated that individuals carrying the variant C allele (G/C and C/C) were associated with a significantly decreased cancer risk (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.62-0.90 for GC vs. GG; OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.64-0.88 for GC/CC vs. GG). In further stratified analyses, a decreased cancer risk was observed in the following subgroups: Breast and lung cancer patients, Asian individuals, and in studies with a sample size >500. The results indicated that the PIN1 promoter polymorphism (-842 G>C; rs2233678) contributes to a decreased risk of cancer via attenuating the transcriptional activity.
