[Benign prostatic hyperplasia].

More than 40% of men, aged 50 years and more, develop a benign prostatic hyperplasia. There is some evidence that a disturbance of the testosterone and estrogene metabolism within the prostate is involved in the pathogenesis. In relation to the symptoms, either a conservative therapy or a surgical treatment and resection of the prostate is performed. Retrograde ejaculation is a frequent consequence of surgical treatment.

Humans

[Cryosurgery of the healthy rat liver].

Cryosurgical treatment was applied to normal liver tissue of 13 clinically intact rats, with a view to investigating effects of freezing temperatures upon normal liver tissue. The animals were sacrificed after different intervals from surgery, and their liver tissue was macroscopically and histologically examined. Major postoperative complications were not observed but for one animal which died of wound healing disorder. The method seems to be suitable also for treatment of liver cell carcinoma or liver metastases.

Animals

[Animal experiment studies of cryosurgical treatment of DS sarcomas and Morris hepatomas implanted in the liver].

Cryosurgical treatment was applied to solid liver tumours of rats with a view to studying the effects of freezing temperatures upon liver carcinoma. Such treatment was applied to twelve rats to which carcinomas, 0.5 cm to 3.0 cm in size, had been implanted. Cryosurgical treatment was successful in one case. Many of the animals died of complications which resulted from freezing of surrounding organs, such as stomach or greater liver vessels.
