Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of finasteride combined with tamsulosin hydrochloride administered during the perioperative period on glandular microvessel density in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods:Ninety patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who received treatment in Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from August 2017 to August 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either oral tamsulosin hydrochloride alone (control group, n = 45) or oral finasteride combined with tamsulosin hydrochloride (observation group, n = 45) during the perioperative period of transurethral resection of the prostate. All patients received 6 weeks of medication. Clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, and urodynamic indexes, glandular microvessel density, International Prostatism Symptom Score, bother score, and urine color/degree of haematuria score pre- and post-treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:The maximum urinary flow rate in each group significantly increased 6 weeks after treatment compared with before treatment. The detrusor pressure and residual urine volume in each group decreased 6 weeks after treatment compared with before treatment. After 6 weeks of treatment, the maximum urinary flow rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group [(15.63 ± 2.26) mL/s vs. (13.14 ± 2.23) mL/s], and residual urine volume was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group [(29.19 ± 4.81) mL vs. (32.25 ± 5.52) mL, t = 5.26, 2.80, both P < 0.05). International Prostatism Symptom Score measured 6 weeks after treatment and urine color/degree of haematuria score measured 1 week after treatment were (12.09 ± 2.17) points and (1.51 ± 0.27) points, respectively in the observation group, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(14.28 ± 2.22) points, (2.03 ± 0.38) points, t = 4.73, 7.48, both P < 0.05]. Factor VIII related antigen- and CD34-positive glandular microvessel density values in the observation group were (14.74 ± 3.05) counts/visual field and (19.41 ± 3.07) counts/visual field, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(18.08 ± 3.16) counts/visual field, (22.27 ± 3.16) counts/visual field, t = 5.10, 4.35, both P < 0.05]. The incidence of postoperative hematuria was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group [15.56% (7/45) vs. 35.56% (16/45), χ2 = 4.73, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Compared with tamsulosin hydrochloride alone, finasteride combined with tamsulosin hydrochloride administered during the perioperative stage can greatly improve the urodynamic indexes of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, reduce microvessel density value, International Prostatism Symptom Score, bother score, and decrease the incidence of hematuria. The combined therapy provides a novel idea for preventing perioperative bleeding in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
