Dietary Soy Protein Isoflavonoid Effects on the Reproductive Tract of the Nonhuman Primate and Neoplastic Human Prostate Gland
… studies have revealed marked disparities in prostate cancer incidence throughout the world. Prostate cancer incidence is estimated to be 10 to 60 times lower in Asian men living in their country of origin when compared to African American and Caucasian American men. The precursor lesion of …

Optimizing PSMA scintigraphy for resource limited settings – a retrospective comparative study
… reviewed. The detection rates for uptake in the prostate gland/bed and in metastases were compared on planar, SPECT, and SPECT/CT. The agreement between modalities was calculated for the detection of metastases and for staging. The impact of imaging a limited FOV was determined

Design and in vitro development of resorbable urologic drug delivery device
… (CIP) to the seminal vesicle and nearby prostate gland for treatment of chronic prostatitis (CP). The device functions as an elementary osmotic pump (EOP) to release CIP for a period of 2-3 weeks after implantation in the seminal vesicle (SV) through transrectal needle injection or …

Androgen receptor-mediated growth suppression and apoptosis of human prostate epithelial cells
… the development, growth, and homeostasis of the prostate gland, and its dysregulation mediates common prostate pathologies, including benign and malignant forms of neoplasia. Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer mortality in men. The mechanisms …

Localization of nerve growth factor-β in the stallion reproductive tract
… localized in Sertoli cells of the testis and the prostate gland. Immunohistochemistry on paraffin embedded paraformaldehyde fixed tissues was performed using a rabbit polyclonal anti-NGF-β antibody on a total of six male equine reproductive tracts, including a one-day old colt, a one-year old colt …

THE ROLE OF THE TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR DEAF-1 IN PROSTATE FUNCTION
… fibroblasts. Heterozygous Deaf-1 males develop prostate inflammation and prostate T-Cell lymphomas suggesting DEAF-1 haploinsuffciency produces a genetic defect in prostate function. The Deaf-1 knockout mice also develop lung and liver tumors and these data show a potential role of Deaf-1 in the …

Regulatory Proteins in Progenitors and Differentiated Cells of the Human Prostate
Prostate cancer (PC) develops from an androgen-dependent tissue that contains androgen receptors in both the stromal and glandular compartments. Surgical removal of the prostate may cure the patient, but if metastatic spread has occurred, androgen suppression therapy is the standard treatment. …

A 3-D Multiparametric Ultrasound Elasticity Imaging System for Targeted Prostate Biopsy Guidance
<p>Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and second-leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. Early and accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer remains challenging; following an abnormal rectal exam or elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen in serum, clinical guidelines …

Generation and application of recombinant antibody fragments for prostate cancer detection.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent adenocarcinoma and the second highest cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Early diagnosis is required to identify the development of PCa to reduce the risk of the disease metastasising to different regions of the body. Multiple biomarkers in serum have …
