Analysis of prostatic fluid in prostatic disease.

Abstract

The current studies of expressed prostatic fluid tend to confirm our previous reported pilot observations of a shift in lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes to a predominance of LDHV in patients with prostatic malignancy. They also suggest a decrease in concentration of acid phosphatase and an increase in concentration of protein in the presence of carcinoma of the prostate. These observations suggest a diffuse metabolic alteration of the prostate in the presence of prostatic carcinoma.

[Histochemical studies of the epithelium of the human ampulla ductus deferentis].

Human ampullary epithelium contains numerous apical granules, which show a strong P.A.S. reaction, but do not stain with methods for acid mucins. No glycogen is detected. Acid phosphatase and non-specific esterase are localized in granules, scattered within the cytoplasm, while peroxidase activity is not demonstrable. The significance of these results is discussed.
