RESUMEN
Chronic prostatitis is hard to be identified in BPH patients in clinical works. This study aimed to diagnose chronic prostatitis in BPH patients by noninvasive methods. BPH patients who received transurethral resection of prostate from January 2014 to July 2015 were enrolled in current study. Patients were received examinations of PSA, sex hormones, inflammatory cytokines, metabolic panel and transrectal ultrasonography. According to histological results, patients were divided into two group of BPH with/without prostatitis. Logistic regression was used to find risk factors of chronic prostatitis. As a result, 181 men with an average age of 72.15 ± 8.41 years were enrolled in this study, including 116 patients with prostatitis and 65 patients without prostatitis. The storage sub-score, PSA and IL-2R were significantly higher in patients with prostatitis than those without prostatitis. Based on logistic regression analysis, the above three parameters were also the risk factors of BPH with prostatitis. The diagnostic model was calculated as: 0.317 × storage sub-score + 0.092 × PSA + 0.003 × IL-2R - 4.296. The AUC was 0.725. Histological prostatitis in BPH patients can be diagnosed by the combination of serum IL-2R, PSA and storage sub-score. Identification of chronic prostatitis in BPH patients could more efficiently alleviate urinary symptoms and reduce the risk of disease progression.

PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate 5α-reductase inhibitors (5αRIs) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients with a large prostate (>80 mL) after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-seven patients were recruited from January 2007 to October 2014. Patients were randomized into a trial and a control group. The trial group was treated with 5αRIs for 3 years after TURP, while the control group received a placebo. We evaluated the indicators before, peri and after TURP. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the indicators before and peri-TURP. Six months later, there were significant differences in PSA and hematuria (HU). Three years after TURP, there were significant differences in prostate volume (PV), level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), the maximum flow rate (Qm), and HU between the trial and control groups. Additionally, there were significant differences in the PV, PSA, international prostate symptom score (IPSS), patient quality of life (QoL) in the trial group alone between those treated with finasteride and those treated with dutasteride. CONCLUSIONS: After TURP for large BPH, administration of 5αRIs for 3 years improved PV, PSA, Qm and HU. Additionally, dutasteride produced superior improvements in PV, PSA, IPSS and QoL compared with finasteride.

BACKGROUND: Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) has been widely used as a golden standard therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia for over 40 years. However, not all patients achieved favorable outcome postoperatively. Since the level of bladder outlet obstruction and the dysfunction of detrusor (overactive and underactive) were both found to affect surgical efficacy, urodynamics was recommended as routine preoperative examination in selecting proper surgical candidates by International Continence Society in spite of its invasiveness and high cost. The aim of this research was to compare the predictive value between ultrasonography and urodynamics for TURP efficacy and determine if preoperative urodynamic test could be replaced by ultrasonography. METHODS: Two hundred and seventy-one patients took part in the retrospective analysis. All the subjects had preoperative evaluation of symptoms, life quality, and combined examination of ultrasonography and urodynamics. Surgical efficacy was measured according to the recovery of international prostate symptom score, quality of life score, and maximal flow rate 6 months after TURP. Fisher's linear discriminant analysis was applied to establish the predictive models of surgical efficacy by choosing parameters from ultrasonography or urodynamics as independent factors. Receiver's operating characteristic curve was then plotted to compare the values between the models. RESULTS: Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of models consisting of parameters from both ultrasonography and urodynamics were favorable. Corresponding models of ultrasonography and urodynamics were found to have non-significant difference in area under curve (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative ultrasonography has as strong value as urodynamics does in predicting surgical outcome of patients undergone TURP and might take the place of urodynamics in selecting surgical candidates. Further prospective analysis with larger popularity and longer period of follow up should be launched to verify the result of this research.
