[Infectious factor in transuretral surgery of benign prostate hyperplasia: a systematic review and meta-analysis].

Purpose: To assess postoperative bacteriuria and infectious complications in terms of antibiotic prophylaxis (ABP) regimens, preoperative urine bacterial status and total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) undergoing transurethral prostate surgery.

Materials And Methods: The PubMed, ClinicalKey, Google Scholar and the Cochrane bibliographic databases were searched from 1992 to 2022. The Mantel-Haenszel method was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and inverse variance method was used to calculate mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI).

[Cytological examination of urine in the differential diagnosis of recurrent lower urinary tract infection].

Introduction: A diagnosis and treatment of recurrent lower urinary tract infection (UTI) in women is still one of the unresolved problems of urology. The proper identification of the etiological factor determines the treatment tactics. Therefore, the most urgent issue of recurrent lower UTI is the differential diagnosis of the causative pathogens.

[Extended culture study as a keypoint to rethinking antibiotic therapy for chronic bacterial prostatitis].

Objective: To juxtapose the microbiological efficacy of standard and targeted antibiotic therapy (ABT) based on the comparison of the results of extended bacteriology of biomaterial in patients suffering chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) before and after treatment.

Study Design: single-centre observational comparative study. Sixty patients with CBP aged 20 to 45 years were included in the study.

[Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women the normal condition of healthy women urine].

Objective: to study the dynamics of the microbiota of a freshly excreted middle portion of urine in primigravida at different times of all three trimesters of pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: A single-center prospective observational cohort study was conducted with a consecutive enrollment of 30 women at different gestational ages: I - 8-12 weeks, II - 22-24 weeks, III - 30-32 weeks. A midstream specimen of morning vesical urine was taken for the study, then it was cultivated using nutrient media for aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms under appropriate conditions.

[Long-term inflammatory and neoplastic reaction of prostate tissues during its transurethral infection with uropathogens: evaluation of the results of animal model study].

Introduction: There is no convincing evidence of the persistence of acute or the development of chronic bacterial-induced prostatic inflammation in the long term when infected with various titers of the uropathogen. Along with this, controversial data are presented on the relationship between post-infectious chronic inflammation and neoplastic changes in prostate tissues.

Objective: To carry out, based on the experimental data: 1) assessment of the degree of bacterial contamination and the severity of histological changes in prostate tissues on the 60th follow-up day in case of transurethral infection with various uropathogens in titers of 102,3,5 CFU/ml; 2) fundamental comparative analysis between the indicators of the inoculated test-titer and microbial load with the severity of histological changes in prostate tissues; 3) verification of neoplastic transformations in the prostate tissues during a long-term persistent bacterial-induced inflammatory process.
