Abstract

This study investigates the correlations between the total prostate volume (TPV), using the prostate specific antigen (PSA) and prostate specific antigen density (PSAD) as the blood test results and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), and the prostate transition zone volume (PTZV), as well as variables such as age; the findings can be used as clinical indicators. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 68 healthy men in their 30s who underwent TRUS and PSA and PSAD blood tests from June 2007 to April 2016, with no history of treatment in their prostate. Siemens Acuson sequoia 512 and the probe Siemens EC-10C5 Endocavitary were used as the ultrasound equipment. For statistical analysis, SPSS 18.0 was used to calculate the standard deviation and mean of each variable; Pearson's correlation analysis was also performed. The descriptive statistics of the variables were $24.27{\pm}6.60$ for TPV, $6.99{\pm}6.60$ for PTZV, $2.12{\pm}2.76$ for PSA, and $0.281{\pm}0.1$ for PSAD. The coefficients of correlations between PTZV and variables were 0.831 for PSAD, 0.707 for TPV, 0.398 for age, and 0.118 for PSA. While PSA and age were positively correlated, PSAD and TPV were highly correlated. Therefore, PTZV of men in their 30s without underlying diseases can be predicted using PSAD and TPV.

본 연구는 혈액 검사 결과인 전립선특이항원(PSA) 및 전립선특이항원밀도 (PSAD), 전립선 경직장 초음파 (TRUS)를 이용한 전립선 전체용적 (TPV), 나이등 변수와 전립선이행대용적 (PTZV)과 상관관계를 연구하여 임상적 지표로 활용하고자 한다. 2007년 6월부터 2016년 4월 까지 전립선에 대한 치료력이 없는 건강한 30대 성인 남성으로 TRUS와 PSA, PSAD 혈액 검사를 실시한 총 68명을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 초음파 장비는 Siemens Acuson sequoia 512)와 탐촉자 Siemens EC~10C5 Endocavitary를 이용하였다. 통계 처리의 경우, SPSS 18.0 각 변수와 표준 편차의 평균을 계산하는 데 사용하고, 피어슨 상관관계 분석을 수행 하였다. 변수들의 기술 통계량은 TPV; $24.27{\pm}6.60$, PTZV; $6.99{\pm}6.60$, PSA; $2.12{\pm}2.76$와 PSAD; $0.281{\pm}0.1$이고. 전립선 이행용적과 변수의 상관 계수는 PSAD; 0.831, TPV; 0.707, 나이; 0.398, 그리고 PSA; 0.118이었다. PSA 및 연령과의 양의 크기의 상관관계지만, PSAD, TPV가 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서, 기저 질환이 없는 30대 남성의 PTZV는 TPV와 PSAD를 통해 예측할 수 있다.
