Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an imbalance between androgen/estrogen, overexpression of stromal, and epithelial growth factors associated with chronic inflammation, has become an atypical direct cause of mortality of aged male diseases.Ginkgopossesses anti-inflammatory, blood flow-enhancing, and free radical scavenging effects. Considering strenuous exercise can reduce BPH risks, we hypothesizeGinkgo+ exercise (Ginkgo+ Ex) could be beneficial to BPH. To verify this, rat BPH model was induced by s.c. 3.5 mg testosterone (T) and 0.1 mg estradiol (E2) per head per day successively for 8 weeks, using mineral oil as placebo. Cerenin®8.33 μL/100 g was applied s.c. from the 10th to the 13th week, and simultaneously, Ex was applied (30 m/min, 3 times/week). In BPH,Ginkgoalone had no effect on T, 5α-reductase, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), but suppressed androgen receptor (AR), aromatase, E2 and estrogen receptor (ER), and the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA); Ex alone significantly reduced T, aromatase, E2, ER, AR, and PCNA, but highly raised DHT. WhileGinkgo+ Ex androgenically downregulated T, aromatase, E2, and ER, but upregulated DHT, AR, and PCNA, implyingGinkgo+ Ex tended to worsen BPH. Conclusively,Ginkgoor Ex alone may be more beneficial thanGinkgo+ Ex for treatment of BPH.

Background/Aim. Nocturia often occurs in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). The aim of the study was to investigate the frequency of nocturia in patients with BPH. Nocturia and other factors associated with it were also investigated. Methods. Forty patients with the confirmed diagnosis of BPH were studied. Transurethral and transvesical prostatectomy were performed in all the patients. Symptoms were evaluated with the International Prostate Symptom Score before, as well as three and six months after the surgery. All the results were compared with the control group. Results. There was no statistically significant difference between the patients before and after the surgery regarding nocturia. There was, however, a statistically significant difference between the operated patients and the control group regarding nocturia, as well as a statistically significant correlation between noctruia and the age of the patients in both the investigated and the control group. A correlation also existed between nocturia and the prostatic size. Conclusion. There was no statistically significant improvement in symptoms of nocturia after the surgery. It is necessary to be very careful in decision making in patients with nonabsolute indiction for surgery and isolated bothersome symptom of nocturia. Age of a patient should also be considered in the evaluation of favorable result of the surgery because of a significant correlation between noctura and the age of a patient.

Pendahuluan. Benign Postate Hiperplasia (BPH) adalah penyakit yang umumnya terjadi pada pria lansia yang disebabkan oleh penuaan. Hiperplasia prostat adalah pertumbuhan jaringan nodul fibroadenomatosa pada prostat. Pembesaran prostat jinak merupakan penyakit yang tersering kedua setelah batu saluran kemih didapatkan secara klinis di Indonesia. Tujuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara usia, obesitas dan riwayat diabetes mellitus dengan kejadian Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) grade IV di Rumah Sakit Dr. M. Haulussy Ambon periode 2012-2014. Metode. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian analitik desain Cross-Sectional, dengan menggunakan catatan medis data di ruang operasi di Rumah Sakit Dr. M. Haulussy Ambon Tahun 2012-2014 dan memperoleh jumlah sampel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi sebanyak 239, yang diambil dengan teknik total sampling. Analisis dilakukan dengan analisis univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi Square. Hasil yang di temukan dalam penelitian ini bahwa kejadian BPH lebih besar pada mereka yang berusia> 65 tahun dan 56-65 tahun dibandingkan dengan usia 46-55 dan <46 tahun dengan hasil tes menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara usia dengan BPH dengan nilai (p= 0,000), ada hubungan antara obesitas dengan nilai BPH (p=0,019) dan riwayat diabetes mellitus setelah menggunakan uji Chi-Square, hubungan antara riwayat diabetes mellitus dengan BPH dengan nilai (p = 0,000). Kesimpulan. Ada hubungan antara umur, obesitas dan riwayat diabetes mellitus dengan kejadian BPH.
