Prostate cancer is a global biological, medical, and social issue aggravated by the lack of reliable, highly specific, and sensitive non-invasive tests for diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. One prospective source of biomarkers are the cell-free miRNAs present in various biological fluids. In the present study, we validated the diagnostic potential of cell-free miRNAs: miR-19b, miR-22, miR-92a, miR-378, miR-425, miR-30e, miR-31, miR-125b, miR-200b, miR-205, miR-375, and miR-660; we estimated the required sample size and the minimal miRNA set for a subsequent large-scale validation study. Relative expression of 12 miRNA combined in 31 ratios was investigated in three fractions of biological fluids (urine extracellular vesicles, clarified urine, and plasma) obtained from patients with prostate cancer (n = 10), benign prostate hyperplasia (n = 8), and healthy volunteers (n = 11). Eight of the miRNAs found in urine vesicles (miR-19b, miR-30e, miR-31, miR-92a, miR-125, miR-200, miR-205, and miR-660) showed great promise and when combined into six ratios (miR-125b/miR-30e, miR-200/miR-30e, miR-205/miR-30e, miR-31/miR-30e, miR-660/miR-30e, and miR-19b/miR-92a) could classify patients with prostate cancer, benign prostate hyperplasia, and healthy donors with 100% specificity, 100% sensitivity, and with a high degree of reliability for most donors.

AbstractAlpha-1 blockers, often used to treat benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), have been hypothesized to prevent COVID-19 complications by minimising cytokine storms release. We conducted a prevalent-user active-comparator cohort study to assess association between alpha-1 blocker use and risks of three COVID-19 outcomes: diagnosis, hospitalization, and hospitalization requiring intensive services. Our study included 2.6 and 0.46 million users of alpha-1 blockers and of alternative BPH therapy during the period between November 2019 and January 2020, found in electronic health records from Spain (SIDIAP) and the United States (Department of Veterans Affairs, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, IQVIA OpenClaims, Optum DOD, Optum EHR). We estimated hazard ratios using state-of-the-art techniques to minimize potential confounding, including large-scale propensity score matching/stratification and negative control calibration. We found no differential risk for any of COVID-19 outcome, pointing to the need for further research on potential COVID-19 therapies.

Objective: To study the relationship between obesity, prostate specific antigen (PSA) level, and prostate volume in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) without urinary retention.Material & Method: Twenty two BPH patients without urinary retention were enrolled in this study. Patients were classified into 2 groups based on body mass index (BMI). The first group consisted of 11 patients with obesity (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2), the second group consisted of 11 non obese patients (BMI <  27 kg/m2). Each patient underwent measurement of PSA, prostate  volume and hematocrit. We performed tests for correlation between all variables in both groups. Results: From correlation testing there was a significant relationship between obesity and PSA. With increasing BMI, a lower PSA level was observed (p< 0,05). There was no significant relationship between prostate volume and hematocrit (p > 0,05).Conclusion: There is a significant negative correlation between obesity and PSA in BPH patients without urinary retention

Objective: The aim of this article is to report a case of Giant Prostatic Hyperplasia and see the correlation between volume of prostate and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms. Giant BPH is defined as a prostate weight over 200 g or 500 g; the lower threshold was suggested by Japanese authors. It’s extremely rare, with only 16 cases exceeding 500 g till 2013. Case presentation: Patient was an 87-year-old male with chief complaint of haematuria. We performed Transabdominal Ultra Sonography (USG) on the patient. Discussion: Transabdominal USG showed enlarged prostate with median lobe protruding into the bladder measuring 86 x 102 x 76 mm and 348 cc in volume. We performed transvesical prostatectomy. The large prostate was enucleated completely in one piece with 23 stones measuring about 1 cm in size. Grossly, the mass measured 12 x 8 cm and weighed 300 g. Histopathology evaluation revealed BPH. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first giant BPH case being reported in Indonesia. We would like to emphasize that severity of BPH symptoms does not correlate with volume of the prostate. Unfortunately, we can not conclude that there were correlation between body mass index (BMI) and volume due to lack of BMI data from the literature.

Background and Aims: Cord blood leptin may reflect the leptinemic status of a newborn at birth more accurately than the leptin values of blood collected from other sites. The present study was undertaken to determine the relationship of cord serum leptin concentration at birth with neonatal and maternal anthropometric parameters. Materials and Methods: Blood was taken from the umbilical cord of the babies at delivery. Maternal anthropometric measurements were recorded at admission for delivery. Neonatal anthropometric measurements were recorded within 48 hours after delivery. Linear regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between cord serum leptin concentration and anthropometric parameters of the baby and the mother. Both Serum leptin and serum C-peptide levels were measured by chemiluminescence-based ELISA method. Results: The leptin concentration (ng/ml, mean±SD) in cord blood was 39.13±14.44. Cord leptin levels correlated with birth weight (r=0.673, p<0.0001), ponderal index (r=0.732, p<0.0001) but it did not correlate with maternal body mass index, gestational age (r=0.135, p=0.349) at delivery or cord serum C-peptide concentration (r=-0.049, p=0.735) or placental weight (r=0.203, p=0.157). Conclusion: There are associations between cord leptin concentration at delivery and birth weight, ponderal index (PI) of the babies but not body mass index (BMI) of the mothers. High leptin levels of the baby could represent an important feedback modulator of substrate supply and subsequently for adipose tissue status during late gestation.

Pendahuluan. Benign Postate Hiperplasia (BPH) adalah penyakit yang umumnya terjadi pada pria lansia yang disebabkan oleh penuaan. Hiperplasia prostat adalah pertumbuhan jaringan nodul fibroadenomatosa pada prostat. Pembesaran prostat jinak merupakan penyakit yang tersering kedua setelah batu saluran kemih didapatkan secara klinis di Indonesia. Tujuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara usia, obesitas dan riwayat diabetes mellitus dengan kejadian Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) grade IV di Rumah Sakit Dr. M. Haulussy Ambon periode 2012-2014. Metode. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian analitik desain Cross-Sectional, dengan menggunakan catatan medis data di ruang operasi di Rumah Sakit Dr. M. Haulussy Ambon Tahun 2012-2014 dan memperoleh jumlah sampel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi sebanyak 239, yang diambil dengan teknik total sampling. Analisis dilakukan dengan analisis univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi Square. Hasil yang di temukan dalam penelitian ini bahwa kejadian BPH lebih besar pada mereka yang berusia> 65 tahun dan 56-65 tahun dibandingkan dengan usia 46-55 dan <46 tahun dengan hasil tes menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara usia dengan BPH dengan nilai (p= 0,000), ada hubungan antara obesitas dengan nilai BPH (p=0,019) dan riwayat diabetes mellitus setelah menggunakan uji Chi-Square, hubungan antara riwayat diabetes mellitus dengan BPH dengan nilai (p = 0,000). Kesimpulan. Ada hubungan antara umur, obesitas dan riwayat diabetes mellitus dengan kejadian BPH.
