[Evaluation of hydroxyproline excretion in the urine (UHP) in prostate carcinoma].

82% of the male patients with healthy urogenital tract showed an isoelectric line in the stimulataneous EMG-derivation of the sphincter of the bladder under conditions of rest; in 18% of the males a moderate activity was present. In voluntary innervation at once an intensive electric activity of a spinle-shaped discontinuous pattern of the action potential developed in 76% of the patients. In the pressing trial in 83% of the cases a slight to moderately strong activity appeared. In contrast to the examined patients with healthy outlet of the vesicle the patients in whom an adenoma of the prostate gland or a carcinoma of the prostate gland, respectively, was present exhibited deviations from the normal pattern of the action potential, in which cases carriers of adenoma and carcinoma differed. Whether and to what extent the electromyography on the m. sphincter vesicae allows the possibility of the differentiation between adenoma of the prostate gland and carcinomaof the prostate gland in the early clinical stage shall be reserved for further examination.

[The importance of ureaplasma urealyticum in non-specific prostato-urethritis (author's transl)].

312 patients with non-specific prostato-urethritis were investigated with a standardised procedure using the four glass test. In 42.3% of patients mycoplasma was isolated which in almost all cases was Ureaplasma urealyticum. Clinically patients were symptom-free after eradication of mycoplasma in cases where previously urea-plasma counts of more than 10,000 CFU/ml prostatic secretion and of more than 1000 CFU/ml urine had been demonstrated. In cases where there were smaller counts of Ureaplasma urealyticum and where Mycoplasma hominis had been demonstrated tetracycline therapy did not lead to cure in any case.

[Protein concentrations in the ejaculate of patients with chronic prostatitis].

In 158 patients suffering from chronic prostatitis and 23 healthy men seminal fluid concentrations of IgG, IgA, C3c, coeruloplasmin, alpha-1-antitrypsin and alpha-1-glycoprotein were determined by immunodiffusion. Concentration of IgG is closely correlated to leucocyte counts, that of IgG, C3c, and coeruloplasmin to erythrocyte counts. C3c, coeruloplasmin, alapha-1-glycoprotein and alpha-1-antitrypsin are further correlated to sperm counts. IgG and C3c concentrations are related to pathogenetic factors. If pathogenic bacteria are found, they are significantly higher than in patients with mycoplasmas, without bacteria or normal men. The same relation is found when observing the leucocyte count. IgG is significantly lower when mycoplasmas are found.

[Testosterone, FSH and LH level in the serum of patients with prostatic neoplasms, treated with female hormones].

Testosterone, FSH and LH were measured in serum of patients suffering from prostatic carcinoma. The efficacy of treatment with 1 mg diethylstilbestrol/d (Cyren A) was shown by suppressed serum levels of testosterone, FSH and LH comparable to castration in a follow-up until 560 weeks after beginning of therapy. Prolactin was raised in all patients under treatment.

[Operative possibilities for tumors in single kidneys with particular reference to in situ perfusion (author's transl)].

Surgical removal of malignant tumors from a single kidney is definitely a problem which can be solved by modern techniques of urological surgery. The different operation techniques in 5 of the patients operated on in the Urologische Universitätsklinik Giessen are presented and discussed. In the individual case, besides extracorporeal tumor surgery, the excision of the tumor especially using in situ perfusion with the aid of the floating catheter can facilitate the surgical intervention considerably, and in particular reduce the danger of a postoperative renal failure.

[Embolisation of malignant renal tumours (author's transl)].

We have carried out embolisation of malignant renal tumours using homogenised muscle in a number of patients. Since October 1974, this has been done 22 times; in six cases the tumour was inoperable. Pre-operative embolisation of resectable renal tumours makes the operative procedures easier and reduces operative risks in older patients. Haematuria, which can cause bladder obstruction, is considered a particular indication in the presence of an inoperable tumour. Tumour growth can be reduced or there may even be regression. There were no significant complications as a result of embolisation of renal tumours with autologous homogenised muscle.

[Plasma and urinary CEA-assay in patients with urological tumours (author's transl)].

Plasma and urinary carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) assays were performed in 151 patients with urological tumours. CEA measurement is unreliable in renal cell carcinoma and carcinoma of the prostate. However, CEA-assays permit the diagnosis of bladder tumours. The test is particularly useful in the followup and therapeutic control of patients with carcinoma of the bladder.
