Objective To understand the histologic changes of prostatic carcinoma's bone metastases and other associated observations,and to provide histopathological basis for clinical therapy. Methods Seven patients with prostatic carcinoma bone metastases,whose needle biopsy of prostate and bone metastases was positive,were treated by hormone castrative therapy.The changes of prostatic primary carcinoma,bone metastases and correlated examinations were observed,and the results were compared with those before treatment. Results The prostatic tumors of 7 patients disappeared in 2 months after treatment.The prostate specific antigen (PSA) level of 5 patients returned to normal within 2 months.Two patients had orthopedics surgery because of spinal epidural compression symptom,and their pathologic examination of bone metastases showed that the transparent cells disappeared,the number of tumor bone trabecula reduced and immunohistochemical stains of PSA was negative.Another 2 patients had bone excision because of the development of bone metastases.Transparent acinose cells,mixed with many tumor-like bone tissues,could be found in the focus,with immunohistochemical stains being positive compatible with the changes of focal bone,PSA and imageology examination showed corresponding results. Conclusions Castration therapy can make carcinoma cells of the prostate and bone metastases,partially or completely,disappear.However,part of bone metastases changes may not be consistent with those of primary carcinoma.PSA and imageology examination may show the correlated changes of bone metastases,and provide exact basis for the clinical treatment.

Objective To introduce an optimal incision technique in the endourethral surgery for urethratresia. Methods Sixteen patients suffering from urethratresia were managed by endourethral surgery,2 of them treated with rotator incision and the other 14 with rotator incision plus transurethral scar electrosectomy.The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated by Qmax. Results Successful incisions were achieved in all patients,the duration of procedure being from 18 to 33 min,with a mean of 25 min.Two patients with rotator incision had dysuria (Qmax 9 and 7 ml/s) after the surgery and accepted transurethral resection of scar again.The other 14 patients with rotator incision plus transurethral scar electrosectomy had good voiding.Qmax was more than 16 ml/s in all patients after operation. Conclusions Rotator incision is a safe,simple,efficacious incision technique in the endourethral surgery for urethratresia,and scar electrosectomy is essential for successsful outcome.

Objective To experiment the use of allodecellular skin extracellular matrix for the replacement of urethral. Methods Skin extracellular matrix was obtained from 2 dogs by decellularization process.18 experimental dogs were used and a 4 cm segment of urethral was resected in each.In the experimental group of 15 dogs,the resected urethral was replaced by the allo skin ECM.In the control group of 3 dogs,the resected urethral was replaced by allograft transplantation of untreated skin.The neourethral segment was studied with ecectronmicroscopy and immunohistochemical procedures. Results In the experiment animals,urothelial and monocytes could be seen in the ECM area and fully filled up the area after 6 weeks.The histological structure was not much different with a normal urethra.In the control group with allograft transplantation,rejection and necrosis occurred 8~10 days after the transplantation.On the basis of the experiment,skin ECM has been successfully used in clinical practice for 2 patients. Conclusions Alloskin ECM may be an ideal tissue engineering material for the replacement of urethral.

Objective To study the histopathological features of injured urethra managed by urethral realignment or suprapublic cystotomy and to sum up the experience on its treatment. Methods Urethral realignment or suprapublic cystotomy were carried out for 20 dogs as the instant management;tissue specimens from the two groups were studied using hematoxylin and eosin stain,immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy and the result has been studied. Results Regeneration of urethra was demonstrated in the urethral realignment group at 8 weeks after urethral injured whereas regeneration has been in the suprapublic cystotomy group.The average length of urethral emphraxis was 3.8 cm in the suprapublic cystotomy group whereas that of urethral stricture only 2.5cm in the urethral realignment group at 32 week. Conclusions Urethral realignment might be the treatment of choice for the instant managerment of urethral disruption as compared with suprapublic cystotomy.

Objective To evaluate the application of urine diversion in prostatectomy for hemostasis. Methods In 86 cases underwent suprapubic prostatectomy urine diversion was carried out.The prostatic bed was compressed by the inflated baloon of the urethral catheter.The operation time was recorded and the amount of blood loss both during and after the operation were measured.Postoperative blood hemoglobin and urodynamic parameters were compared with those before operation. Results The average operation time for the 86 patients was 45 min.The average blood loss during the operation was 140 ml and the average postoperative drainage 190 ml.Blood transfusion is not needed in all.The ureteral catheters for urine diversion were maintained for an average of 7.2 days and the urethral catheter for 8.6 days.Normal micturation was noted right after the removal of urethral catheter in all the 86 patients.Postoperative blood routine and biochemical assays were not significantly different from those before operation.The average maximum urine flow rate was 21.5ml/s.2 of the patients have experienced difficulty in micturation.Normal micturation was resumed on endoscopic urethrotostomy.No secondary bleeding or upper urinary tract infection has been noted. Conclusions The application of urine diversion is an effective means of hemostasis in prostatectomy.
