Urine cytology in patients with urinary tract calculosis.

Urinary cytological examination was performed on 375 patients suffering from urolithiasis at the Department of Urology. University School of Medical Sciences, Bydgoszcz between 01.01.1991 and 31.12.1992. 189 were female (mean age: 47.5 years), 186 were male (mean age: 53.5 years). We found dysplastic cells in urinary sediments in 25.3% of patients before therapy and in 5.3% of patients after conservative or traditional operation and interventional therapy (ESWL. PCNL). Degenerated cells were found in 72% of patients before therapy and in 30.4% after therapy only. In our group neoplasmatical cells were not found. Inflammatory background was found in 44.5% before and in 21.9% after therapy, pyuria in 19.7% and 0.8% respectively. In urinary sediments we found concrements in 24% of patients before and 7.7% after therapy. However, 20 (51.3%) of 39 patients after interventional therapy (ESWL, PCNL) had concrements in urinary sediments. In conclusion, no abnormality was seen in 85.1% before therapy and in 31.2% after therapy. The significance of cytological examination in management of calculous diseases was discussed.

Endometriosis of the urinary bladder.

Although every seventh or eighth case of endometriosis is found to have urinary involvement, this type of endometriosis is still rarely recognized. The symptoms are not specific and are frequently suggestive of a neoplastic process. On the basis of our two cases of histopathologically two types of endometriosis as well as literature review the practical significance of endometriosis in urology is described. In each patient who previously underwent a gynaecological or surgical procedure in the abdominal cavity, endometriosis of the bladder is likely to occur. This possibility should not be ruled out, otherwise it could lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

[Antithrombin III activity in blood of patients with renal cancer].

The activity of antithrombin III (AT III) in the blood of 20 patients with renal carcinoma was examined. An increase of AT III activity in comparison with control group was observed. The increase of AT III activity in the blood of the patients with renal carcinoma can be as a result of compensatory mechanism safing these patients before thromboembolic complication. The measurement of AT III in renal carcinoma can be a prognostic symptom of haemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications.

[The activity of alpha-2 macroglobulin in the blood of patients with prostatic carcinoma].

The activity of alpha 2-macroglobulin in the blood of the patients with prostatic carcinoma (PC) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was examined. It was shown an decrease of alpha 2-macroglobulin in patients with prostatic carcinoma in comparison with control group consisted of the patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The low activity of alpha 2-macroglobulin in the blood od the patients with PC can be a symptom of an increase risk of haemorrhagic complications.

[Activity of antithrombin III in the blood of patients with bladder cancer].

The activity of antithrombin III (AT III) in the blood of patients with bladder carcinoma was examined. It was shown an increase of AT III activity in comparison with control group. The changes of AT III activity in the blood of patients with bladder carcinoma can be the symptoms of an increased risk of haemorrhagic or thromboembolic complications.

[Antithrombin III and alpha 2-antiplasmin in blood of patients operated on for benign prostatic hyperplasia].

The pre- and postoperative activity was studied of antithrombin III (AT III) and alpha 2-antiplasmin (alpha 2-AP) in blood of 40 patients subjected to transurethral prostatic electroresection due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). For comparison of the obtained results a control group was formed from patients with other diseases of the genitourinary system with exception of neoplasms. The activity of AT III and alpha 2-AP before the operation was similar to that in the control group. Intraoperatively (day 0) and on the first day after the operation, a statistically significantly lower activity of AT III and alpha 2-AP was found in the patients with BPH in relation to the initial value as well as to the control group. On day 5 after the operation, normalization of AT III and alpha 2-AP activity was found. During operations of the prostate a release occurs of thromboplastins and plasminogen activators initiating the activation of blood clotting and fibrinolysis. The decrease of activity of AT III and alpha 2-AP could be caused by AT III and alpha 2-AP use-up in the process of inhibition of the created thrombin and plasmin.

[Activity of alpha 1-antitrypsin in blood of patients operated on for tumor and benign hyperplasia of the prostate].

The activity of alpha 1-antitrypsin in the blood of the patients with prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia before and after the operation was examined. It was observed an increase of alpha 1-antitrypsin in the blood of patients with prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia after the operation. In the blood patients of control group an increase of alpha 1-antitrypsin was observed too. The activity of alpha 1-antitrypsin in prostatic carcinoma was the highest during the whole observation period. The similar increase of the activity of alpha 1-antitrypsin after the operation in the blood of all groups of patients is connected with inflammatory reaction. The highest activity of alpha 1-antitrypsin in the blood of patients with prostatic carcinoma is the proof that the malignant neoplasm is associated with much more inflammatory reaction and the further hormonal treatment can be connected with a risk of thromboembolic complications.

[Levels of plasminogen and alpha 2-antiplasmin in blood of patients with prostatic tumor].

In the blood of 20 patients with prostatic carcinoma the level of alpha 2-antiplasmin and plasminogen were examined. The control group consisted of 20 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The low activity of alpha 2-antiplasmin in the blood of the patients with prostatic carcinoma was observed. The level of plasminogen was similar in both groups and it was in the low part of laboratory normal range. We concluded that the low levels of plasminogen and alpha 2-antiplasmin were a result of their consumption during activation of fibrinolysis process. The measurement of the alpha 2-antiplasmin and plasminogen can be useful to predict a risk of bleeding complications in the patients with prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

[Activity of alpha 1-antitrypsin in blood of patients with prostatic tumor].

The activity of alpha 1-antitrypsin in patients with prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia was examined. The activity of alpha 1-antitrypsin was higher in patients with prostatic carcinoma. The higher activity of alpha 1-antitrypsin is good prognostic sign for patients with prostatic carcinoma because it is born of large defense possibilities in these patients against the disease.

[Tissue type plasminogen activator and its inhibition in blood of patients operated on for prostatic carcinoma].

In 30 patients with prostatic carcinoma a higher of t-PA, a low of PAI-1, alpha 2-antiplasmin and plasminogen activity with increased fibrin degradation products (FDP) level and a short euglobulin lysis time (ELT) were observed. Following surgery a further increased of fibrinolytic activity occurred. The activity of t-PA and PAI-1 were higher than before operation. Apart from that we observed a decreased of plasminogen and alpha 2-AP with further increased level of FDP. On 5-th day the values of examined parameters were similar as before the operation.

[Activity of protein C in blood of patients with prostatic carcinoma].

The activity of Protein C in the blood of the patients with prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia was examined. It was observed a slightly decrease of activity of protein C in the blood the patients with prostatic carcinoma. The observation of the activity of Protein C is useful because it allow to differentiate from patients with prostatic carcinoma a group of high risk of haemorrhagic complications. The activity of Protein C may be a prognostic factor of a progress of a prostatic carcinoma.

[Disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome with secondary fibrinolysis activation in prostatic carcinoma].

We reported on a 74 year old patients with local advanced prostatic carcinoma. Following prostatic surgery an increased bleeding tendency was observed. The patients showed clinical and laboratory evidence for consumption coagulopathy with hyperfibrinolysis. The laboratory data were: marked decrease of AT III, Protein C, increase of thrombin/AT III complex level, fibrin degradation products (FDP) and antigen of t-PA. The treatment was ended successful.

[Diagnostic value of cytologic examination of urine sediment in patients with non-neoplastic diseases].

The results are presented of urine sediment cytological examination of all patients treated in the Department of Urology for non-neoplastic diseases from March 01, 1989 to October 01, 1991. Out of the total number of 936 newly admitted patients in 88 cases the urine cytological examination demonstrated dysplastic cells which accounted for 9.4%, while in 11 cases cells suspected of malignancy were found which accounted for 1.2%. These patients are under constant urological control.

Diagnostic value of urine cytology and urine carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level in the distinction between bladder cancer and urinary tract infection.

In the retrospective investigation we estimated the CEA levels in urine and urine cytology in 293 patients with urinary bladder cancer (group I) and in 129 patients with urinary tract infection (group II). An increased CEA level was found in 212 cases of bladder cancer and in 109 cases of urinary infection. Neoplastic cells in urine sediment were identified in 254 cases in the first group, while in the second, multiple inflammatory cells and pyuria were diagnosed in 55 and 56 cases, respectively. The combined examination (increased CEA level and/or positive cytology of the urine sediment) allowed for the diagnosis of neoplastic disease in 270 patients in the first group and infection diseases in 123 patients in the second group. After surgical therapy an increased urine CEA level and neoplastic cells in the urine cytology were found in 1 case which was then confirmed histopathologically. In the group with urinary infection an increased CEA level in urine, after antiphlogistic therapy, was found in 5 cases, inflammatory cells in 12 cases, pyuria in 8 cases and suspect cells were found in 6 cases in the group with urinary infection. In specimens from these cases, after electroresection, bladder cancer was diagnosed in 2, and cystitis cystica type changes in 2 cases.

Carcinoembryonic Antigen↗

[Levels of carcinoembryonic antigen in blood serum and in urine in employees who smoke at the "Pasamon" Industrial Works in Bygdoszcz].

CEA levels in serum and urine determined in healthy persons who were heavy smokers. We examined 215 workers of the "PASAMON" Industrial Works (186 women and 29 men). The level of CEA in serum was elevated in 19% of healthy workers smoking 10 or more cigarettes daily. In 10% of female smokers the CEA level in urine was increased. In the age-matched group of non-smokers neither in serum nor in urine any increase in levels of CEA was observed. In diagnosis, prognosis and follow up of patients with neoplasms an increased level of CEA in serum of heavy smokers should be taken into consideration.

[Bacteroides melaninogenicus, during Fournier's gangrene].

In two patients (L.C., case No. 5834/215/90 and I.J., case No. 18760/140/91) Fournier's gangrene was diagnosed. From samples of necrotic and stinking secretion, strains of Bacteroides were isolated in anaerobic conditions. Application of metronidazole for treatment and surgical cleaning of the wound resulted in healing of one patient, while the second died.

Bacteroidaceae Infections↗

[Levels of carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha fetoproteins in urine of of workers at the Bydgoszcz industrial works "Pasamon"].

A group of 215 healthy workers of the Bydgoszcz Industrial Works "Pasamon", aged 19-61 years, was examined. Normal values of CEA and AFP in urine were determined using the RIA method. They were 0-42 ng/ml and 0-9 UI/ml, respectively. The increase of CEA was often observed in patients with the urinary tract infections. The cytological examination of urine sediment and determination of CEA level may, in some cases, indicate the difference between the urinary tract infections and urothelial carcinomas.
