PSA and PSAP were examined in 198 prostatic biopsies and correlated with PSA and PSAP serum levels evaluated before biopsies. In every type of lesion there was no relation between PSA or PSAP serum levels and their expression in biopsy specimens. PSA and PSAP staining was similar in both cancer and benign hyperplasia and lower in dysplasia, atrophy and prostatitis; while serum levels were higher in adenocarcinomas than in other lesions. A significant difference of PSAP serum levels was noted in different Gleason's grading of neoplasia, found neither with PSA serum levels/nor with PSA and PSAP tissue staining.

To study the clinical correlation between fasting plasma glucose, lipid metabolism, prostate-specific antigen and prostate volume in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, and to explore the combined effect as diagnostic indicators. A total of 108 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia treated in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Third Affiliated Hospital from June 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed as the hyperplasia group, and 98 healthy physical examination personnel were selected as the control group during the same period. Compare the differences in levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), small and dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C), homocysteine, lipoprotein a (LPa), prostate specific antigen (PSA), and free prostate specific antigen (fPSA) between two groups of patients.

- Cowper glands can sometimes be mistaken for prostatic adenocarcinoma in prostate biopsies, especially when the tissue samples are incomplete or distorted.
- Immunohistochemistry can help differentiate between the two, but traditional prostate-specific markers may show positive results in Cowper glands, which can lead to confusion.
- This study found that basal markers like high molecular weight keratin and p63 are more reliable for identifying Cowper glands, while prostate-specific markers should be used cautiously to avoid misdiagnosis.

To study the clinicopathological features, immunohistochemical phenotypes, molecular changes, differential diagnosis and prognosis of isolated intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (iIDC-P). Three iIDC-P cases were collected retrospectively from 2016 to 2022 at Ningbo Clinical Pathology Diagnosis Center, Ningbo, China. The clinicopathologic features and immunophenotypic profiles were studied using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry.

Article Synopsis
- CTNNB1 mutations in prostate cancer are uncommon but can lead to aggressive forms of the disease, characterized by the overactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is linked to cancer progression and resistance to treatments.
- A specific case of a patient with CTNNB1-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) was studied, revealing unusual cancer characteristics and generating patient-derived organoids and xenografts for further analysis.
- Results showed that the cancer lacked typical prostate cancer markers and was resistant to standard therapies, indicating the need for more targeted research and treatment strategies for such rare cancer mutations.
Distribution of prostatic markers in glands of the female urethra and anterior vaginal wall-a rapid autopsy study.

Department of Surgery, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, 3052, Australia.
Background: There are varying reports of immunohistochemically detected prostatic marker protein distribution in glands associated with the female urethra that may be related to tissue integrity at the time of fixation.
Aim: In this study we used tissue derived from rapid autopsies of female patients to determine the distribution of glandular structures expressing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostate-specific acid phosphatase (PSAP) along the female urethra and in surrounding tissues, including the anterior vaginal wall (AVW).
Methods: Tissue blocks from 7 donors that contained the entire urethra and adjacent AVW were analyzed.
