✦ Synopsis

This review will present a new concept on the etiology of the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Conventionally, two known etiological factors for the development of BPH have been aging and the presence of functional testes. Assignment of these two factors, although reasonable, has not been conducive to aid the research community to identify and isolate the patho-physiological agents that are directly responsible for the development of this disease. In the present review, we proposed a broadened concept of intrinsic and extrinsic factors for BPH. This concept offers identifiable research opportunities that will facilitate our quest in search for etiological agents for BPH. A brief description of various intrinsic and extrinsic factors and justifications for their selection will be discussed.

BACKGROUND. The present review summarizes the cellular action of TGF-␀ in benign and malignant growth of the prostate. METHODS. TGF-␀ is a pleiotropic growth factor. It plays an important role in the regulation of growth and differentiation in many cells. In benign prostatic epithelia, its action is

The etiology of prostate cancer or of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is essentially not understood. It is becoming clear, however, that major determinants of the malignant or hyperplastic phenotype are various growth-stirnulatory or -inhibitory factors and their receptors, whose inappropriate ex

## Abstract Calcitriol (1Ξ±,25‐dihydroxycholecalciferol) seems to play an important role in the complex control of prostate cell growth. It inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation and apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanisms of the antiproliferative activity o

We discuss regression modeling of a physiological parameter affected by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Such parameter commonly exists in our daily life (e.g., the sleeping quality of human beings or other animals). An additive regression model is suggested which consists of two parts. The fir
