Morphofunctional Analysis of the Prostate Exposed to Chemical Manufacture Factors

The structural characteristics of the prostate and the blood flow in the organ were studied in chemical plant workers suffering from chronic prostatitis. The prostate echostructure was characterized by vast zones of fibrosis and calcinosis, the hemodynamic ultrasonic parameters were low. Degenerativ...

Description
Summary:The structural characteristics of the prostate and the blood flow in the organ were studied in chemical plant workers suffering from chronic prostatitis. The prostate echostructure was characterized by vast zones of fibrosis and calcinosis, the hemodynamic ultrasonic parameters were low. Degenerative changes in the acinar structures and stromal fibrosis predominated in the biopsy specimens, these shifts were the most pronounced in the peripheral and transitory zones. Foci of common and small-acinar degeneration of the glands, abundant concrements, and significant collagenization with periglandular and perivascular sclerosis without or with slight inflammatory infiltration were detected. We hypothesize that long exposure to adverse factors of sulfuric acid manufacture contributed to the development of pathological changes in the prostate.
