Objective:This study aimed to compare the detection efficacy of transrectal ultrasound-guided transrectal cognitive fusion targeted+ systematic prostate biopsy and transperineal cognitive fusion targeted + systematic biopsy in patients with suspected prostate cancer (PCa). In addition, the relative clinical characteristics of PCa were evaluated.Methods:A total of 385 patients with suspected prostate cancer in the affiliated hospital of Qingdao University from May 2019 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients met the prostate biopsy criterion, who underwent transrectal(n=275)and transperineal(n=110)prostate biopsy respectively. There were no significant differences of mean age [(70.7±7.3)years vs.(69.2±8.4) years], PSA [(55.12±116.96)ng/ml vs. (63.41±315.34)ng/ml], prostate volume [(55.96±35.26)ml vs. (64.35±55.99)ml] between two groups. According to preoperative prostate magnetic resonance imaging combined with intraoperative ultrasound, 2-4 needles targeted puncture of suspected lesion were performed, followed by 12 needle systematic prostate biopsy. The detection rate of prostate cancer between two biopsy ways were compared. The related factors of PCa including age, prostate volume and PSA level were collected for univariable and multivariable logistic analysis. The cancer detection rate was compared and logistic regression was used to assess the impact of patient characteristics on PCa detection.Results:For all patients, the detection rate with cancer between transrectal group and transperineal group were 121/275(40.0%) and 67/110(60.9%), respectively. The transperineal group detected a higher rate of PCa ( P=0.003)and more clinically significant prostate cancers (csPCa) (54.6% vs.36.7%, P=0.001) than that of the transrectal group, there were significant differences between two groups ( P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that PSA( OR=1.025, P=0.001) and prostate volume( OR=0.984, P=0.001)were two independent factors for the detection rate of prostate cancer between two biopsy ways( P<0.05). The effect of age on the detection rate of PCa in the transperieal group was significantly lower than that of the transrectal group( OR=0.037, P=0.238 vs. OR=0.053, P=0.002). Conclusion:The transperieal biopsy could find more PCa than the transrectal biopsy. PSA level and prostate volume could affect the detection rate of cancer between two prostate biopsy ways.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of sub-chronic aluminum exposure on synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus of rats and to explore the mechanism of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3 K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/rapamycin target protein(mTOR) signaling pathway. METHODS: Specific pathogen free adult healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into control group and low-, medium-and high-dose groups based on body weight, with 10 rats in each group. Rats were treated with maltol aluminum solution at the concentrations of 0, 10, 20 and 40 μmol/kg body weight by intraperitoneal injection, 5 days per week for 3 months. After the exposure, rats were weighed. Morris water maze was used to test the learning and memory ability, and the two-electrode binding technique was used to record the long-term potentiation(LTP) amplitude in the hippocampus CA1 area of rats. The protein expression of PI3 K, AKT and mTOR in rat hippocampus tissues was detected by Western blot. RESULTS: After the exposure, the body weights of rats in the medium-and high-dose groups were lower than that of the control group(P<0.05). The results of the positioning navigation experiment showed that the escape latencies of the rats in the medium-and high-dose groups were shorter than that in the control group during the 2 nd to 4 th days of the experiment(P<0.05). The results of space exploration experiments showed that there was no statistical difference on the target quadrant retention time and the number of crossing the platform among the 4 groups(P>0.05). At 1, 30, and 60 min after high-frequency stimulation, the LTP amplitudes in the hippocampus CA1 area of the aluminum-treated groups were lower than that of the control group at the same time point(P<0.05), and the LTP amplitudes of hippocampus CA1 area of rats decreased with the increase of maltol aluminum exposure dose(P<0.01). The relative expression of PI3 K, AKT and mTOR protein in the hippocampus tissues of the aluminum-treated groups was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05), and the relative expression of the above three proteins decreased with the increase of the maltol aluminum exposure dose(P <0.01). CONCLUSION: Sub-chronic aluminum exposure could lead to dose-dependent inhibition of hippocampus synaptic plasticity in rats, thereby impairing the spatial learning ability of rats. This process may be related to inhibition of PI3 K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway by aluminum.
