DIMITROV, R., 2013. Ultrasonographic features of prostate gland in the domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 170-173 The prostate gland of ten sexually mature, healthy male white New Zealand rabbits at the age of 12 months, weighing 2.8 3.0 kg, was studied by ultrasonography. Following anesthesia, the urinary bladder was filled with physiological saline. The three g...

UNLABELLED Abstract Background: The prostate gland synthesizes a host of hormones, prostaglandins and growth factors. It is not clear if such biochemical factors modulate the hypothalamic/pituitary (H-P) gonadal axis. AIM To determine the influence of the prostate gland on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis feedback system and changes in circulating hormone levels before and after cryoablation o...

AIM: To investigate the topographical anatomy of canine prostate gland by computed tomography (CT) for diagnostic imaging purposes. МATERIAL AND METHODS: Seven clinically healthy mongrel male dogs at the age of 3−4 years and body weight of 10−15 kg were submitted to transverse computerized axial tomography (CAT) with cross section thickness of 5 mm. RESULTS: The CT image of canine prostate is v...

Foamy gland carcinoma is a variant of prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma characterized by abundant, foamy cytoplasm, frequently showing small, pyknotic nuclei. The incidence and Gleason grade of foamy gland carcinoma in a large prostate needle biopsy series have not been established. Foamy gland carcinoma may be deceptively benign appearing and missed on needle biopsy. Immunohistochemical staining...

Metastases to pituitary gland are unusual and mostly asymptomatic, presenting with local symptoms in one of ten patients, and only 3%-5% of them are of prostate origin. Here we report and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of multimodal treatment in a patient with pituitary metastasis of a prostate foamy gland carcinoma. A 78-year-old male patient presented with blurred vision and headache w...

P antigen (PSA) is a serine protease produced by the prostate gland at very high concentrations. PSA is secreted into the seminal plasma in high concentrations (0.5 to 5 g/L), where it plays a role in semen liquefaction. The retrograde release of PSA into the bloodstream is a rare event in young, healthy men. It occurs with a frequency of less than one PSA molecule per million secreted PSA mole...

1. Aldolase was selected as a suitable marker for following the androgenic regulation of mRNA synthesis in the prostate gland. 2. Antibodies raised in rabbits against crystalline prostate aldolase were used to monitor the synthesis of this androgen-induced enzyme after hormonal stimulation of castrated animals, by using procedures in vivo and in vitro for the translation of prostate poly(A)-ric...

Currently there are few parameters that are used to compare the efficiency of different methods of cancerous prostate surgical removal. An accurate assessment of the percentage and depth of extra-capsular soft tissue removed with the prostate by the various surgical techniques can help surgeons with determining the appropriateness of different surgical approaches. Additionally, an objective ass...

Metastasis to the prostate gland from gastric cancer is exceedingly rare. We have presented a rare case of gastric malignancy metastasizing to the prostate diagnosed by transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy.

Role of prolactin in the prostate gland – Studies in transgenic models Jon Kindblom Department of Physiology, The Sahlgrenska Academy, Göteborg University, Sweden The aim of the studies in this thesis was to investigate the role of prolactin (PRL) in normal and pathophysiological conditions of the prostate gland using three different genetically modified mouse models. Benign and malignant disor...
