泌尿性器疾患に於けるPhosphataseの組織化学的研究 第V篇:前立腺肥大症に於ける酸性Phosphataseの組織化学的研究

Abstract

The acid phosphatase in prostatic hypertrophy w h ich is closely connected with the prostate gland was examined histochemically by the method of Takamatsu-Ozawa-Izaki about 10 cases of them. The results of t he acid phoSphatase reaction in them were followings : 1) In the glandular tissues, it was all positive in their epithels and it showed a tendency of diminution in their degenerated, atrophied and flattened epithels and at last it grew negative. 2) In the interstitial tissues, it was generally negative and also in the interstitial hyperplasia. 3) The capillary blood vessels showed in general the negative reaction. 4) About the influences of hormone therapy, their histological changes and the decrease of this reaction were only noticed. 5) About the differences between the alkaline phosphatase and the acid phosphatase, the interesting findings which their was opposed entirely were noticed and so the differences of their functional significances were supposed. 6) The above findings coincided nearly with the biochemical quantitative estimation results of the prostatic acid phosphatase and that enzyme in urine or blood serum.
