Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the role of prostate basal cell staining in diagnosing Gleason score 6 prostate cancer. Materials & Methods: During research period, we collected 20 medical records and paraffin block specimens of Gleason score 6 prostatic adenocarcinoma patients. Specimens were taken from prostate needle biopsy. Demographic data and PSA level were extracted from medical records. Basal cells were detected by immunohistochemical staining for antikeratin 34β-E12 on paraffin block specimens analyzed by an experienced pathologist. Positive results suggest a benign lesion. Results: Mean age is 70 ± 6,5 years. Mean prostate volume and PSA level was 52±17cc and 25±21 ng/ml. Three specimens (15%) showed presence of basal cells on antikeratin 34β-E12 staining, which indicated benign lesions. Leucocyturia was found in all patients of this group. There was a significant association between PSA level and antikeratin 34β-E12 staining (p=0,03). In multivariate analysis, there is no significant association between antikeratin 34β-E12 staining with age, prostate volume, and leucocyturia. Conclusions: 15 % cases of prostatic cancer Gleason score 6 still showed basal cell existence. Immunohistochemical staining of basal cell should be considered in suspicious cases of prostatic cancer.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the epithelial cell counts in each lobe of prostate glands with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Material and methods: Twenty-two BPH patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in Diponegoro Dua Satu Surgery Hospital Klaten, from May until November 2006 were enrolled in this study. Tissue from each lobe of the prostate gland was separately collected, from the middle (A), left lateral (B), right lateral lobes (C). All samples were fixed in 10% formalin buffer, embedded in paraffin and sectioned in 4 micrometer slices with microtome. After hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining, number of epithelial cells was counted under light microscopy. Difference in epithelial cell counts in each alveolus between the three lobes was statistically analyzed using t-test (p<0,05). Results: Twenty-two patients were included in this study from May to November 2006, mean age was 66,64±7,6 (54-88) years old. The most common occupation was farmer. Almost all patients had symptoms of chronic urinary retention (95,45%). Length of hospital stay was 8,77±2,7 (6-17) days, mean weight of prostate resected was 47,05±23,2 (5-90) grams, mean operative time 77,73±22,24 (45-115) minute, mean volume of irrigation fluid (sterile water) was 24,18±7,87 (5-34) liter. Mean number of cells in groups A, B, and C were 23,67±8,4 (13,6-44,4), 29,22±8,8 (16,4-41,2), and 29,11±8,7 (16,4-41,2) respectively. There was significant difference between groups A and B, and between groups A and C (p<0,05) respectively. Conclusion: There was statistically significant difference in epithelial cell count between the middle lobes compared to lateral lobes of the prostate in BPH surgical samples. These findings are supported by cystoscopic observation of smaller middle lobe compared to the lateral lobes in BPH.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate efficacy of diclofenac compared to placebo in relieving pain on removal of indwelling urethral catheters. Materials and methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial, double blind, comparing diclofenac with placebo in relieving pain on removal of indwelling urethral catheters. Adult male patients with indwelling catheters admitted in surgical ward of RSUP Dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta who met the inclusion criteria were recruited. The independent variables were diclofenac or placebo treatment, while the dependent variables were visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and the external variables were age, education level, and duration of indwelling urethral catheter. We gave patients diclofenac or placebo in capsules 2 hours before urethral catheter removal. Immediately after removal by assistant, the patient filled VAS form. We used Chi-square test, independent T-test, and bivariate analysis with SPSS program version 11.5, with p<0,05 was set as statistically significant level. Results: Thirty patients met inclusion criteria. Mean VAS score of both groups was 33,467 + 20,4577, diclofenac group was 31,567 + 20,0934, and placebo group was 35,367 + 21,3412. There was no statistically significant difference of VAS score between both groups (p=0,844). Conclusion: Efficacy of diclofenac and placebo in relieving pain when performing urethral catheter removal is not significantly different.

Abstract

Objective: To compare the effects of verapamil on the contralateral kidney affected by unilateral ureter obstruction. Material & method: The right ureter of oryctalagus cuniculus rabbits, were obstructed surgically with silk suture material, and kept alive for 14 days. One group was obstructed without other treatment, one group was given verapamil from day 7 until day 14 of the obstruction. One group was obstructed and given verapamil from day 0 through day 14. One group was given a sham operation as a control group. The contralateral kidney of all groups were harvested and processed with ApopTag. The increase of apoptotic tubular cells compared to the control group was then analyzed between each group. Results: The highest increase in apoptotic cells was in the obstructed group without verapamil, but increased significantly compared to control (p<0,001). The groups which received verapamil had lower increase of apoptotic tubular cells, in the group given verapamil for 14 days lower than the group which received verapamil only for 7 days. Both the 7 to 14 and the 0 to 14 groups were significantly lower than the group without verapamil (p=0,035 and p<0,001 respectively). Conclusion: verapamil has a protective effect on the contralateral kidney by inhibiting apoptosis caused by unilateral ureter obstruction. While the definitive treatment for urinary obstruction is to relieve it, verapamil can protect the kidney in the mean time.

Abstract

Objective: The study aims to study the difference between urinary culture before and after indwelling catheter insertion and also the difference in positive bacterial culture rate between urine and catheter swab at the 7th and 14th days. Material & method: The subject of this study were patients who used indwelling catheters in urology outpatient department. The sample was allocated into two groups of 10 patients each, 7 and 14 days group. Sterile urinary culture was initially checked before catheter insertion. After 7 and 14 days of catheterisation respectively, urine and intraluminal catheter swab were performed upon removal. All samples were examined in Microbiology Department using McConkey and Nutrient agar (Mayo technique – T/T33). After 24 hours incubation, bacterial colonies were identified. Results: All urinary cultures obtained before the study were sterile, after 7 days catheter insertion two cultures (20%) remained negative and the remainder (80%) became positive. McNemar test result was 0,008 (p<0,05). In 14 days group after catheter insertion only one (10%) remained negative while 9 others were positive for bacteria. Mcnemar test shows 0,004 (p<0,05). The urinary and catheter swab culture is not significantly different in 7 days of indwelling catheterization patients (0,500; p>0,05) and also in 14 days patients (1,000, p>0,005). While the catheter swab culture is significantly positive after administering the urinary catheter in 7 and 14 days of catheterization (0,002; p<0,05). Conclusion: There was significant difference in urinary culture positive rate before and after catheter insertion in 7th and 14th day. Bacteriuria rose sharply after urinary catheter insertion despite aseptic procedure. There was no difference in culture positive rate between urine and catheter swab at 7th day as well as 14th day.

Abstract

Objective: To study the relation of the Aging Male Symptom Score (AMS score) with age groups, and to find the age when the AMS score increases. Material & method: In all, 347 patients with age beginning at 50 years underwent an interview with the AMS Score questionnaire, then they were divided according to age in groups, less than or equal to 50 years, 51 – 55 years, 56 – 60 years, and more than 60 years. Results: In the age group less than or equal to 50 years, there were 26 men (7,5%). With an abnormal AMS psychology, there were 18 men, with abnormal AMS somatovegetative score there were 20 men, with an abnormal AMS sexual score 20 men, and with abnormal total AMS Score 14 men. In the age group 51 – 55 years, there were 146 men (42,07%), with an abnormal AMS psychology in 75 men, with abnormal AMS somatovegetative score 114 men, abnormal AMS sexual in 123 men, and abnormal total AMS Score in 71 men. In age group 56 - 60 years there were 48 men (13,83%), abnormal AMS psychology in 35 men, abnormal AMS somatovegetative score in 44 men, abnormal AMS sexual in 45 men, and abnormal total AMS Score in 35 men. In the age group of more than 60 years, there were 127 men (36,6%), abnormal AMS psychology was found in 87 men, abnormal AMS somatovegetative score in 112 men, abnormal AMS total sexual score 122 men, and abnormal total AMS score was in 96 men. All of the AMS score values significantly increased after 55 years old, p value at AMS psychology was 0,005, AMS somatovegetative was 0,000, AMS sexual was 0,000, and at total AMS Score was 0,000. To define the age when AMS score increases. The conclusion was that AMS psychology values begin to increase after 55 years (sensitivity 69,71, specificity 45,93), AMS somatovegetative values increase after 55 years (sensitivity 89,14, specificity 22,09), and total AMS score value begins to increase at 55 years (sensitivity 74,86, specificity 50,58). However, AMS sexual value increase at 50 years (sensitivity 90,34, specificity 23,08). Conclusion: All of the AMS score values increase significantly at 55 years.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate problems in diagnosis and management of congenital hydronephrosis. Material & methods: This study was retrospective. Data was collected from medical records of patients with congenital hydronephrosis, which were hospitalized or went to urologic outpatient clinic at Ciptomangunkusumo Hospital from January 1999 to December 2008 and Harapan Kita Maternal and Pediatric Hospital from January 2004 to December 2008. Data was analyzed with SPSS programme version 13.0. Statistical analysis was performed to find the relationship between age at diagnosis and kidney function (Mann-Whitney test) and between age at diagnosis and nephrectomy rate (Chi-Square test). Results: There were 15 patients who presented because of antenatal diagnosis. Of the 145 patients, we could collect antenatal history only from 63 patients.  Obstetricians provided antenatal care in 56 out of 63 patients. Antenatal ultrasound was performed in only 59 out of 63 patients and only 44,07% (26 patients) with hydronephrosis was detected antenatally. Eleven out of 26 antenatally diagnosed patients came to our clinic at a later age. Three standard studies (postnatal ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram, and renal scintigraphy) were performed only in 12 out of 145 patients (8,27%). Ultrasound was performed in 108 patients (74,5%), voiding cystourethrogram in 79 patients (54,5%), and renal scintigraphy in only 26 ptients (17,9%). The suggested management was conducted in 115 patients; operative management in 95 patients (82,61%) and conservative treatment in 20 patients (17,39%). The most common operative procedures were ureteroneocystostomy, pyeloplasty, nephrectomy, and posterior urethral valveablation. Mean serum creatinine in below 12 months old group and above 12 months old group was 0,78±0,93mg/dl dan 1,03±0,88 mg/dl respectively(p<0,05). There was no significant difference in nephrectomy rate in both age groups (p>0,05). Nephrectomy was performed in 16 patients, with the most common indication was grade IV hydronephrosis with thin parenchyma in 11 patients (68,75%) and the most common etiology was UPJ obstruction in 10 patients (62,5%). We can only collect follow up data from 73 out of 115 managed patients (63,48%). Urinalysis, ultrasound/voiding cystourethrogram, and renal function studies were not routinely conducted during follow up. Conclusion: The management of congenital hydronephrosis in Indonesia needs improvements in antenatal care standards, particularly obstetric ultrasound, to improve early detection of congenital hydronephrosis. Better education for parents about the importance of follow up is needed, especially for antenatally diagnosed patients. A consensus regarding diagnostic tools used in managing congenital hydronephrosis must be established among urologists, pediatricians, and radiologists.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of estrogen on wistar’s vaginal epithelium. Material & method: We divided 30 female wistars into three groups, ten wistars underwent bilateral ovariectomy, 10 wistars underwent bilateral ovariectomy, and estrogen replacement and 10 wistars as control. The second group received estradiol 1 mg/kg/day, directly after ovariectomy. After 4 weeks the vagina was then harvested and stained with hematoxylin-eosin to evaluate the thickness of epithelial layer of vagina. A pair T-test was use for statistical analysis. Results: Estrogen ablation decreased the thickness of epithelial layer in wistar’s vagina. The mean thickness of epithelial layer in vagina were 3, 5, and 10 for each group respectively. The mean epithelial layer of the first group as well as the second group showed significant difference compared to control group (p>0,05), while the first group showed insignificant difference compared to the second group. Conclusion: Estrogen ablation seems to decrease the thickness of vaginal epithelium, while estrogen replacement revealed insignificant effect.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this research is to get the profile of human sperms membrane protein based on identification for molecular weight, concentration protein, phosphorylation activity, and ability to raise enough antibodies. Material and methods: There are three phases in this research, first, isolation protein of human sperms membrane with using lysis buffer containing Tween-20, second, determination of molecular weight, phosphorylation activity, and protein concentration, and third, antibody production. Molecular weight of protein membrane was detected by SDS-PAGE, confirmation of protein concentration measured Biuret method, kinase activity measured using spectrophometry at its optimum condition, and then production of antibody that corfirmed by ELISA technique. Results: Human sperms contain the protein with molecular weight of 201, 163, 116, 97, 72, 56, 48, 32, 27, 20, and 17kDa. The highest phosphorylation activity was found on protein with molecular weight of 20 kDa is 30.197x 10-3 unit, while the lowest phosphorylation activity is 28.976x10-3 unit was shown on protein with 116 kDa of molecular weight and then   this protein can induce production of antibody. Biuret method show the protein concentration from protein with molecular weight 116 kDa is 410 ug/mL. Conclusion: The protein that has molecular weight of 116 kDa can be used as immunocontraception agent because phosphorylation activity has lower, good concentration, and could induce the production of antibody.
