Avaliação histológica da próstata de cães adultos sexualmente intactos / Prostatic histological evaluation in adult not castrated dogs

Avaliou-se histologicamente a próstata de 30 cães adultos e idosos sexualmente intactos que apresentavam ou não sintomatologia clínica de doença prostática, e verificou-se a incidência de possíveis alterações da glândula. Dentre as alterações encontradas, a hiperplasia prostática benigna constituiu o diagnóstico mais comum, 85,6 por cento (n=24), seguida por prostatite crônica, 64,3 por cento (n=18), displasia do epitélio glandular, 42,8 por cento (n=12), atrofia do epitélio glandular, 39,3 por cento (n=11), infiltrado inflamatório focal, 25 por cento (n=7), dilatação glandular focal, 21,4 por cento (n=6), prostatite aguda, 7,1 por cento (n=2), metaplasia escamosa, 3,6 por cento, (n=1), metástase de neoplasia sistêmica, 3,6 por cento (n=1) e abscesso prostático, 3,6 por cento (n=1). Como em muitos casos os cães são assintomáticos, ressalta-se a importância da realização rotineira de exames clínicos específicos, como o toque retal e a ultrassonografia, para o diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento das afecções prostáticas.

The prostates of 30 not castrated old dogs with or without clinical symptoms of prostatic disease were histologically evaluated. It was observed the incidence of possible changes in the gland. Among the changes, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was the most common diagnosis, accounting for 85.6 percent (n=24), followed by chronic prostatitis, 64.3 percent (n=18), dysplasia of the glandular epithelium, 42.8 percent (n=12), atrophy of the glandular epithelium, 39.3 percent (n=11), focal inflammatory infiltrate, 25 percent (n=7), focal glandular dilation, 21.4 percent (n=6), acute prostatitis, 7.1 percent (n=2), squamous metaplasia, 3.6 percent (n=1), metastasis of systemic neoplasia, 3.6 percent (n=1), and prostatic abscess, 3.6 percent (n=1). Because the lack of symptoms in most of dogs with prostatic changes, the specific clinic exams in routine, as rectal palpation and ultrasonography, are very important to early diagnosis and treatment of dogs with prostatic disease.

Herniorrafia perineal, ressecção de cisto prostático e criptorquidectomia vídeolaparoscópicas por único acesso em cão / Perineal vídeolaparoscopic, prostatic cystic resection, and cryptorchidectomy in a dog under unique access

O presente relato descreve a realização de criptorquectomia, ressecção de cisto prostático e herniorrafia perineal vídeolaparoscópicas em um cão da raça Collie que apresentou recidiva dos sinais clínicos após redução cirúrgica convencional. Pela cirurgia laparoscópica, com três portais retroumbilicais, localizou-se um testículo intrabdominal, que foi removido após a aplicação de clipes de titânio no mesórquio e nos vasos testiculares. Verificou-se também a presença de um cisto prostático que foi drenado por punção transparietal com agulha e, em seguida, realizaram-se a ressecção da parede e omentopexia na cavidade cística. Na avaliação da cavidade pélvica, verificou-se que o tamanho do defeito herniário permitia ser manejado por laparoscopia. Aplicou-se uma sutura intracorpórea no padrão colchoeiro abrangendo músculo coccígeo e elevador do ânus. O procedimento total durou aproximadamente 140 minutos, não havendo complicações. Conclui-se que a cirurgia laparoscópica pode ser empregada no tratamento de cisto prostático e na herniorrafia perineal de cães.

This research describes the cyst resection of the prostate, perineal hernia and laparoscopic criptorquidectomia of a Collie dog, which showed clinical signs of recurrence after conventional hernia surgery. By mean three retroumbilical portals,an intraabdominal testicle was located through laparoscopic surgery. It was removed after the application of titanium clips in mesorquio and pots testicules. A prostate cyst was noticed that was drained by puncture with a transparietal needle. An incision was made in the wall and omentopexia of the cystic cavity was performed. In the evaluation of the pelvic cavity, it was found that the hernial defect was small and could be managed by laparoscopy. An intracorporeal suturing pattern was applied which covered the coccygeal muscle and lifted the anus. The entire procedure took about 140 minutes, with no complications. It was concluded that laparoscopic surgery can be used to treat prostate cysts and the perineal hernia of dogs.

Therapeutic Effect of Tonglieshu capsules for Nonbacterial Prostatitis / 广州中医药大学学报

[ Objective ] To investigate the therapeutic effect of Tonglieshu capsules (mainly composed of Radix Linderae, Semen Litchi, Semen Vaccariae, Rhizoma Corydalis, Rhizoma Sparganii, Rhizoma Curcumae, Herba Taraxaci, etc. ) for nonbacterial prostatitis. [Methods] Forty SD rats were randomized to 4 groups: normal control group (group A) , model group (group B), Qianlietong group (group C) and Tonglieshu, Capsules (group D). Except those in group A, rats in other groups were injected with Xiaozhiling Injection directly into the prostatic glands to establish nonbacterial prostatitis. After treatment with Tonglieshu capsules for 4 weeks, white blood cells counting, density of lecithin corpuscle and inflammatory cells infiltrating into interstitium and glandular lumen of prostatic tissues were observed. [Results] WBC counting was decreased and density of lecithin corpuscle increased in group D (P 0.05) . [Conclusion] Tonglieshu capsules has an effect in treating chronic prostatitis by decreasing the WBC counting, reducing infiltration of inflammatory cells and increasing the density of lecithin corpuscle in prostatic tissues.
