Study ofcobalamin-binding proteins revealed seminal plasma to be the most concentrated site of transcobalamin II in man. The next richest normal fluid, blood, has approximately one-tenth its concentration. Normal seminal unsaturated cobalamin-binding capacity averaged 15,030±7,290 pg/ml, of which 11,550±6,660 pg/ml was transcobalamin II. Transcobalamin II levels were markedly diminished in subj...

Primary adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicles is a rare neoplasm. Congenital seminal vesicle cysts are commonly associated with unilateral renal agenesis or dysgenesis. To the best of our knowledge, mucinous adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicle cyst that's associated with an ectopic ureter opening into the seminal vesicle and ipsilateral renal agenesis has not been described in the radiologic...

The hypothesis that rat seminal vesicles may contain luteinizing hormone (LH)/human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) receptors was tested by means of a number of different techniques. Northern blotting demonstrated that rat seminal vesicles contained multiple LH/hCG-receptor transcripts. In situ hybridization revealed that these transcripts were present primarily in the principal epithelial cells l...

s:696:"Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is classified as an elective dysmetabolic thesaurotic pneumoalveolitis and characterized by the presence within the alveoli of the lungs of myriad of tiny calculi. The classic presentation of the chest radiography is unmistakable with multiple small "sand-like" opacities diffusely involving both lung fields. We present a case of male infertility fo...

BACKGROUND The use of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging as a part of preparation for radiotherapy is increasing. For delineation of the prostate several publications have shown decreased delineation variability using MR compared to computed tomography (CT). The purpose of the present work was to investigate the intra- and inter-physician delineation variability for prostate and seminal vesicles, ...

The pharmacological activity of several new pregnane derivatives 15-19 were determined on gonadectomized male hamster flank organs, seminal vesicles and in vitro conversion of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) as 5alpha-reductase inhibitors. Steroids 15-19 decreased the diameter of the pigmented spot in the flank organs as compared to the T treated animals; in this model, steroids 1...

In this study, we present an intensity-modulated radiotherapy technique based on forward planning dose calculations to provide a concave dose distribution to the prostate and seminal vesicles by means of modified dynamic arc therapy (M-DAT). Dynamic arcs (350 degrees) conforming to the beam's eye view of the prostate and seminal vesicles while shielding the rectum, combined with two lateral obl...

BACKGROUND One of the problems that addicts suffer from is decreased libido. Erectile dysfunction has been reported in men using opioids for treatment of heroin addiction. OBJECTIVE The study was performed to investigate the effects of morphine and detoxification with methadone as causes of sexual dysfunction in addiction. METHODS AND METHODS A total of 40 adult male rats (Wistar) were used...

PURPOSE To investigate a new method and its effect on the procedure of dilating the ejaculatory duct and flushing the seminal vesicle with an F9 seminal vesicle scope in patients with chronic and recurrent seminal vesiculitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients with a diagnosis based to signs, laboratory detection, digital rectal examination, and transrectal ultrasonography were involve...
