Journal ArticleDOI
Cystinuria caused by mutations in rBAT , a gene involved in the transport of cystine
Maria Julia Calonge,Paolo Gasparini,Josep Chillarón,Miguel Chillón,Michele Gallucci,Ferran Rousaud,Leopoldo Zelante,Xavier Testar,Bruno Dallapiccola,Franco Di Silverio,Pedro Barceló,Xavier Estivill,Antonio Zorzano,Virginia Nunes,Manuel Palacín +14 more
TL;DR: RBAT is established as a cystinuria gene, which involves the defective transepithelial transport of cystine and dibasic amino acids in the kidney and intestine and nearly abolished the amino acid transport activity induced by rBAT in Xenopus oocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of phytotherapy (Permixon) with finasteride in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia: a randomized international study of 1,098 patients.
Jean Christophe Carraro,Jean Pierre Raynaud,Gary G. Koch,Geoffrey D. Chisholm,Franco Di Silverio,Pierre Teillac,Fernando Calais da Silva,Joris Cauquil,Dominique Chopin,Freddie C. Hamdy,Miroslav Hanus,Dieter Hauri,Athanasios Kalinteris,Josef Marencak,Antoine Perier,Paul Perrin +15 more
TL;DR: Controversy regarding the relative efficacy of treatments for the relief of the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of inflammation, pre-malignant lesions, incidental carcinoma in histologically confirmed benign prostatic hyperplasia: a retrospective analysis.
Franco Di Silverio,Vincenzo Gentile,Anna De Matteis,Gianna Mariotti,Voria Giuseppe,Pastore Antonio Luigi,Alessandro Sciarra +6 more
TL;DR: Different histological variables associated to BPH are differently influenced by the age of patients and prostate volume, and they differently influence serum PSA levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammation and chronic prostatic diseases: evidence for a link?
Alessandro Sciarra,Franco Di Silverio,Stefano Salciccia,Ana Maria Autran Gomez,Alessandro Gentilucci,Vincenzo Gentile +5 more
TL;DR: The concept that inflammation can promote chronic prostatic diseases, such as BPH or PCa, is actually supported by several new significant findings; however, no specific oncologic surveillance for these cases is justified at the moment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance (mr) imaging and proton mr spectroscopic imaging in the detection of local recurrence after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer
Alessandro Sciarra,Valeria Panebianco,Stefano Salciccia,Marcello Osimani,Danilo Lisi,Mauro Ciccariello,Roberto Passariello,Franco Di Silverio,Vincenzo Gentile +8 more
TL;DR: The results show that combined 1H-MRSI and DCMRE is an accurate method to identify local prostate cancer recurrence in patients with biochemical progression after RP.
