AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the vaporization speed and tissue damage depth of human prostatic tissue affected by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using 70 W and 120 W 2 µm laser devices.
- Results showed that the 120 W device increased the vaporization speed significantly to 10.84 g/5 min, compared to 5.21 g/5 min at 70 W, while the proportion of vaporization remained high for both devices.
- Despite the increased speed at 120 W, there were no significant differences in the depth of tissue damage between the two laser power outputs, indicating both devices are effective and safe for generating vaporized human prostate tissue.
Article Abstract
Objective: To compare the speed of vaporization of human prostatic tissue with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and depth of tissue damage using 70 and 120 W 2 µm laser devices.
Methods: Fresh prostatic tissue specimens were obtained from 5 patients by open prostatectomy and divided into separate groups (70 and 120 W) based on the energy of laser output (70 and 120 W respectively). Trials were performed in acryl basin containing 0.9% saline at 37 °C. And then each prostate gland in vitro was vaporizated similarly as routine transurethral 2 µm laser vaporesection. 70 W and 120 W power were applied for prostatic vaporesection. The 2 µm laser vaporization proportion and vaporesection speed were calculated postoperatively. Prostatic tissue was embedded for histological evaluation. After hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-reduced (NADH) measurement, depth of coagulation zone and necrotic tissue layer were measured. The results of prostatic tissue between two groups were compared.
Results: With increasing output power, the speed (mean ± SD) of vaporesection of human prostatic tissue increased from (5.21 ± 0.66) g/5 min at 70 W to (10.84 ± 1.23) g/5 min at 120 W. Significant differences existed in the speed of vaporesection, resection and vaporization between 120 W and 70 W devices (P = 0.000). The proportion of vaporization mode was 81% at 70 W and 87% at 120 W during prostatic vaporesection. There was a stable penetration/coagulation depth with increasing power output for (0.98 ± 0.13)/(0.30 ± 0.09) mm at 70 W and (0.99 ± 0.12)/(0.31 ± 0.08) mm at 120 W. There were no significant differences in penetration and coagulation depth between 120 W and 70 W (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: Both 120 and 70 W 2 µm Laser devices yield excellent performance and security in vaporizated human prostate tissue. The 120 W 2 µm laser offers significantly higher vaporesection rates than 70 W power. And vaporization mode is a predominant procedure of prostatic vaporesection.

Monitoring of extracellular matrix (ECM) microstructure is essential in studying structure-associated cellular processes, improving cellular function, and for ensuring sufficient mechanical integrity in engineered tissues. This paper describes a novel method to study the microscale alignment of the matrix in engineered tissue scaffolds (ETS) that are usually composed of a variety of biomacromolecules derived by cells. First, a trained loading function was derived from Raman spectra of highly aligned native tissue via principal component analysis (PCA), where prominent changes associated with specific Raman bands (e.

Core histones including H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are key modulators of cellular repair, transcription, and replication within eukaryotic cells, playing vital roles in the pathogenesis of disease and cellular responses to environmental stimuli. Traditional mass spectrometry (MS)-based bottom-up and top-down proteomics allows for the comprehensive identification of proteins and of post-translational modification (PTM) harboring proteoforms. However, these methodologies have difficulties preserving near-cellular spatial distributions because they typically require laser capture microdissection (LCM) and advanced sample preparation techniques.
