11. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia : mechanisms of action and clinical outcome
Abstract : Background: The therapeutic value of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a matter of debate. Aims: Evaluation of the clinical effect of TUMT and of various duration of the treatment; investigation of the kind and extent of tissue lesions induced by TUMT and of the mechanisms behind the therapeutic effect; investigation of the effect of heat on human prostate stromal cells in cell culture.

12. Human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) in prostate cancer: Clinical and Methodological studies
Abstract : Human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) is a predominantly prostate produced protein with many similarities to prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Just like for PSA elevated levels of hK2 can be found in men with protate cancer. We created an assay where hK2 in serum could reliably and with negligible cross-reactivity with PSA, be measured down to 0. READ MORE

13. Studies on mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase : uncoupler-reversible inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase and related enzymes by metal chelates of bathophenenthroline
Abstract : The mitochondrial ATPase constitutes the terminal enzyme of oxidative phosphorylation and is, together with similar enzymes present in chloroplasts and bacteria, responsible for the synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi during electron transport. The enzyme consists of an extrinsic, catalytically active part, called Fl, that is structurally and functionally linked to an intrinsic, proton-translocating device, called Fo. READ MORE

14. Molecular characterization of prostate hyperplasia in prolactin transgenic mice
Abstract : Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer are age-related diseases, affecting a majority of elderly men in the western world, and are known to be influenced by several different hormones, including sex hormones. Although the hormone prolactin (PRL) is well known to exert trophic effects on prostate cells, its involvement in the pathophysiology is still poorly characterized. READ MORE

15. Transurethral resection of the prostate : how to reduce morbidity
Abstract : Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard method for surgical treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Despite the more recent introduction of medical therapies for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), the high efficacy of TURP still makes it one of the most common surgical operations worldwide and approximately 6,000 such operations are performed every year in Sweden.
