The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål, BPH) is one of the most destructive rice pests worldwide. GXU202 a germplasm common wild (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) with high resistance to BPH. In this study, genetic analysis indicated that BPH-resistant phenotype controlled by major gene. Through combination and comparison QTL linkage BSA-seq analyses, novel gene locus, BPH41, conferring BPH was ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the potential contribution of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography to the determination of the severity of benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) by performing shear wave velocity (SWV) measurements of the prostate using ARFI technology. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty BPH patients and 40 healthy volunteers were included in this study. S...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in middle-aged and older men and negatively affects the quality of life. An ultrasound classification for BPH based on a previous pathologic classification was reported, and the types of BPH were classified according to different enlargement locations in the prostate. Afterwards, this classification was demonstrated using magnetic resonan...

Early evidences have showed that mast cells could infiltrate into benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissues, but the exact role of mast cells in BPH development remains unclear. In this study, we identified more mast cells existing in human BPH tissues compared with that in the normal prostate. In the in vitro co-culture system, BPH-1 prostate cells promoted activation and migration of mast ce...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Renal transplantation is increasingly performed in elderly patients, and the incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) increases with age. Anuric males on dialysis may have occult BPH and not develop obstructive symptoms until urine flow is restored after transplantation. If left untreated, BPH poses a risk for numerous complications, including acute urinary rete...

BACKGROUND In 2003, a 74-item quality-of-life (QOL) scale for Chinese benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients (BPH-QLS) was developed. Although the scale displayed good reliability and validity, the time required to complete it may limit its use. The purpose of this study was to construct and validate a short-form quality-of-life (QOL) scale for Chinese patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperp...

Background: Nocturia is a common cause of night awakenings which bothers many patients with urinary tract diseases. NSAIDs can improve nocturia by decreasing urine production and modify the altered neural pathways between bladder and CNS. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of NSAID in the treatment of nocturia secondary to BPH. Seventy-one patients complaining o...

In Ayurvedic texts vatashthila [i.e.; benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)] is a one of major urinary disorder described in mutraghata (i.e.; decreased urine flow due to obstructionin passage). It very common problem geriatric age group males (usually 60-70 years age). Histo-pathologically the prevalence BPH dependent, initiate usually after 40 age. More than 50% men their 60s and upto 90% 70s 80...

Immobilized preys are routinely used in agro-ecological exposure studies to quantify predation of pests under field conditions, but this method has not been validated. Our purpose was to determine the validity of using immobilized adults of the major rice pest Nilaparvata lugens, brown plant hopper (BPH), as sentinels. We used direct observation by video recording to determine the causal agents...

To investigate the molecular response of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (BPH) to BPH-resistant rice plants, we isolated cDNA fragments of the genes encoding for carboxylesterase (CAR), trypsin (TRY), cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450), NADH-quinone oxidoreductase (NQO), acetylcholinesterase (ACE), and Glutathione S-transferase (GST). Expression profiles of the genes were monitored on f...
