C-reactive protein levels could be a prognosis predictor of prostate cancer: A meta-analysis.

Background: The relationship between the C-reactive protein (CRP) and prognosis in prostate cancer (PCa) has been widely discussed over the past few years but remains controversial.

Material And Methods: In our meta-analysis, we searched 16 reliable studies in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. Otherwise, we have successfully registered on the INPLASY.

CCDC40 mutation as a cause of infertility in a Chinese family with primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Trial Design: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetical disease that inherited in an autosomal-recessive way. Its clinical manifestations (such as male infertility) are mainly caused by defects of motion-related cilia that encoded by mutated genes. Although some mutation has been verified, a number of mutations of PCD remain elusive.

The prognostic value of preoperative serum albumin in patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor: A prospective cohort study.

Background: To evaluate whether the preoperative serum albumin level can predict the survival outcome in patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).

Methods: Four hundred fifty six newly diagnosed patients with BUC who underwent TURBT between January 2014 and December 2017 were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were categorized into low albumin (<40 g/L) and high albumin (≥40 g/L) groups.

Inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase improved erectile dysfunction in rats with type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus (DM), which is closely related to microvascular dysfunction, is a risk factor for erectile dysfunction (ED). Furthermore, the upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is associated with systemic vascular dysfunction in rats with diabetes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of iNOS in diabetes mellitus erectile dysfunction (DMED).

The association between plant-based diet and erectile dysfunction in Chinese men.

Background: Diet, one of the components of lifestyle, has been believed to have associations with erectile dysfunction (ED). However, whether there is an association between plant-based diet and ED is remains to be explored. Thus, we conducted the nested case-control study to investigate the relationship between the plant-based diet and ED in China.

The association between plant-based diet and erectile function in Chinese young healthy men: A population-based study.

The study was designed and conducted to evaluate the plant-based diet status and its association with erectile function (EF) in Chinese young healthy men. From July 2018 to May 2020, 116 objectively proved physically and psychologically healthy men were selected. Clinical questionnaires, detailed physical examinations and blood tests were all assessed.

Association of hypogonadism symptoms and serum hormones in aging males.

The association between hypogonadism symptoms and the levels of serum hormones are still in debate. To investigate the relationship between hypogonadism symptoms and serum hormones in middle-aged and elderly Chinese men, this community-based cross-sectional study was conducted based on a total of 965 ageing men. The ageing males' symptom (AMS) scale, International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaires and related variables were assessed.

Metabolic Syndrome and Risk of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Case-Control Study From Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare-Linked Database.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components are associated with increased risks of several cancers. However, the relationship between MetS and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) has never been investigated before.

Methods: We identified 3,785 UTUC cases aged over 65 years old within the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare database between 2007 and 2016.

Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors and Risk of Skin Cancers in Men: A Meta-Analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis Involving 7,479,852 Subjects.

Purpose: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the association between phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) use and skin cancers and we also examined whether down-expression of the PDE5A gene was related to worse prognosis for malignant melanoma (MM) patients.

Materials And Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrails.gov databases were searched.

The association between anogenital distance and benign prostatic hyperplasia related lower urinary tract symptoms in Chinese aging men.

Purpose: We conducted the study to investigate the relationship between anogenital distance (AGD) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) related lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

Methods: From May 2018 to January 2020, 220 subjects: 110 men with BPH-related LUTS (BPH-LUTS group) and 110 men without any urination complaints (control group) were selected. Clinical questionnaires, detailed physical examinations, including AGD (distance between the anus and posterior base of the scrotum) and AGD (distance between the anus and upper penis) measurements, and blood tests were all assessed.

The association between acquired premature ejaculation and metabolic syndrome in young Chinese men.

We conducted the study to investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and acquired premature ejaculation (APE). From January 2017 to December 2019, 1,000 subjects, 500 men with APE (APE group) and 500 men without APE (control group), were selected. Self-estimated intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) were recorded from each participant to evaluate APE.

Association between 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter gene-linked promoter region polymorphism and the susceptibility of lifelong premature ejaculation: a meta-analysis involving 1,604 subjects.

The relationship between 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter-linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) gene and lifelong premature ejaculation (LPE) risk was discussed widely for the last few years, which was still controversial and remained to be explored. We performed the meta-analysis with 8 reliable research, which were searched in the following databases: PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library. We also performed random and fixed effects models to evaluate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals respectively.

The decline in sexual function, psychological disorders (anxiety and depression) and life satisfaction in older men: A cross-sectional study in a hospital-based population.

This study explored the relationships between the decline in sexual function and psychological burdens and life satisfaction in older men with the aim of providing prospective targets for interventions. From January 2016 to January 2019, we selected 1,326 men aged over 50 years old. We adopted the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5), self-estimated intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT), the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT), the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patients Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the satisfaction with life scale and the control, autonomy, self-realisation and pleasure scale (CASP-19) to measure premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and well-being (including, depression, anxiety, and life quality and satisfaction) respectively.

Thermal Intravesical Chemotherapy Reduce Recurrence Rate for Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients: A Meta-Analysis.

Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer accounts for nearly 80% of newly diagnosed bladder cancer cases, which often recur and progress. This meta-analysis was evaluated by the adverse events and recurrence rate of thermal intravesical chemotherapy vs. normal temperature intravesical chemotherapy in the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Glutathione S-Transferase Pi 1 (GSTP1) Gene 313 A/G (rs1695) polymorphism is associated with the risk of urinary bladder cancer: Evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis based on 34 case-control studies.

Background: Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) contain a series of critical enzymes regulating proliferation or apoptosis in the tumor microenvironment. Data from publications about the correlation between Glutathione S-transferase Pi 1 (GSTP1) gene 313 A/G (rs1695) polymorphism and bladder caner (BCa) remained controversial. To explore the exact correlation between this polymorphism and the development of BCa, we carried out this study.
