Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of chronic prostatitis(CP) in China. Methods We search the related original studies about the treatment for Chinese CP all over the world, and only included randomized controlled trials (RCTs). MEDLINE(1966-2007.5), PubMed (1966-2007.5), EMBASE(1988-2007.05), and four Chinese databases were electronically searched and 6 related journals were handsearched. The studies included in the references of eligible studies were additionally searched. Two reviewers independently screened the studies for eligibility, evaluated the quality and extracted the data from the eligible studies, with confirmation by cross-checking. Divergences of opinion were settled by discussion or consulted by the expert. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 4.2 software.Results Nine original studies involving 917 participants met inclusion criteria. Compared withplacebo, prostant, Wenglitong, Chuanshentong, alpha-blockers, bioflabonoid and porstat could reduce the NIH-chronic prostatitis symptom index[RR1.99, 95% CI（1.60, 2.48）； RR2.76 95% CI(2.13，3.57)； RR2.49, 95% CI(1.24, 4.97)； WMD -5.90，95%CI（-8.12，-3.68）； WMD -2.50, 95%CI（-4.85，-0.15）；WMD -6.07， 95%CI(-7.92， -4.22)]. Alpha-blockers, Wengl itong, bioflabonoid and porstat can also reduce the symtom index of pain.Conclusion Drug interventions could improve NIH-CPSI and total symptoms of CP in some degree, but can not improve all symptoms, future RCTs must use an appropriate sample size and optimal duration and follow-up of participants. It is important to improve the quality of internal original studies.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of prostat in combination with antibiotic on the treatment of chronic proatatitis. MethodsWe searched the literatures which were randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the treatment of combination of prostat and antibiotic for chronic prostatitis published between January 2003 and August 2013 in the Databases including CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP, CBM, PubMed, according to the demand of Cochrane Colloboration, combining computer retrieval with manual retrieval. The quality of literature was assessed by using Jadad scale and extract data from literature. Meta-analyses were performed by using the RevMan 5.1 Software. ResultsA total of 12 clinical RCT, involving 3 947 patients were identified. One study was double-blind and three studies were single-blind. Only one study had a Jadad scale score of 3, belonging to high quality document; the rest had a score of 2 or 1, and all were low quality documents. The results of the Meta-analysis showed that compared with the control groups, the treatment of combination of prostat with gatifloxacin on chronic prostatitis had a significant difference in total effective rate[OR=3.98, 95%CI (2.67, 5.94), P<0.000 01], NIH-CPSI score[WMD=-6.45, 95%CI(-7.55, -5.34), P<0.000 01]; the treatment of combination of prostat with Levofloxacin on chronic prostatitis had a significant difference in total effective rate[OR=1.71, 95%CI (1.43, 2.05), P<0.000 01], NIH-CPSI score[WMD=-2.85, 95%CI(-3.39, -2.31), P<0.000 01]. ConclusionThe treatment of combination of prostat with antibiotic was superior to the treatment of prostat or antibiotics on chronic prostatitis. It is an effective therapeutic schedule. But the safety of the treatment of combination of prostat and antibiotic on chronic prostatitis needs further evaluation.
Objective To explore the effect of kidney transplantation on chronic prostatitis-like symptoms. Methods A total of 300 male renal transplant recipients between January 2015 and January 2017 were collected in the study. All recipients received the questionnaire survey of the National Institute of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) preoperatively and at 3 months after transplantation. The score and relevant risk factors were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 210 recipients (70.0%) completed questionnaire effectively, in whom 150 (71.4%) had preoperative and 90 (42.9%) had postoperative chronic prostatitis-like symptoms, respectively. In the 210 patients, the preoperative and postoperative pain score was 6.57±3.12 vs. 3.57±3.16 (P<0.001), voiding score was 3.71±2.38vs. 3.29±2.66 (P=0.116), quality of life score was 7.57±1.60 vs. 5.14±2.75 (P<0.001), and the total NIH-CPSI score was 17.86±3.81vs. 12.00±6.65 (P<0.001), respectively. The severity of chronic prostatitis-like symptoms was alleviated significantly after kidney transplantation. Conclusion Kidney transplantation can alleviate the chronic prostatitis-like symptoms significantly, and improve the quality of life in uremia patients.
Prostate disease is one of the most common urological disease. A large number of studies have shown that prostate disease is related to changes in the local microenvironment. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of periodontal tissue caused by a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Its pathogenesis may involve many factors. Periodontitis may have adverse effects on cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and endocrine systems. Recent studies have found that chronic periodontitis is associated with the occurrence and development of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis, but the relationship is not clear. Therefore, further research is needed. This article elaborates on inflammation and benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis, periodontitis and prostatitis, and periodontitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia, aiming to provide certain ideas for clinical research and diagnosis and treatment.
