Abstract

The appearance of blood in the seminal fluid is an alarming sign, with a rather inconstant origin. The causes of hematospermia are discussed based on a review of the literature and the authors' own experience with 84 patients. The importance of differential diagnosis is emphasized and a diagnostic scheme is presented. Therapeutic opportunities depending on etiology are discussed. It is concluded that although hematospermia is an often self-limiting sign, resolving in a few weeks, all patients should undergo a careful investigation to rule out the presence of malignancy or other significant disease.

Protein expression of the alpha, gamma, delta and epsilon subspecies of protein kinase C changes as C6 glioma cells become contact inhibited and quiescent in the presence of serum.

Total protein kinase C (PKC) activity and protein expression of the alpha and delta subspecies of PKC increases markedly as C6 glioma cells grow from low cell density to the contact-inhibited quiescent state (also known as G(o)) in the presence of serum. At the same time protein expression of PKC subspecies gamma and epsilon decreases while the beta I, beta II, iota and zeta subspecies did not change. Serum deprivation of growing C6 glioma cells does not induce the same changes in PKC subspecies protein expression. The findings support the growing view that there are significant differences between the G(o) states brought about by contact inhibition or serum deprivation.
