“…Table 2 shows no significant differences among Asian people in the 40-49-year-old age group; participants included Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Asian Americans. With increased age, however, the serum PSA increased at a significantly greater rate in Asian Americans (1.32 ng mL −1 per 10 years) [18] than in Chinese (1.16 ng mL −1 per 10 years), Koreans (1.13 ng mL −1 per 10 years) [15] or Japanese (1.14 ng mL −1 per 10 years) [16]. These results suggest that above age 50, when the prostate gland begins to show hyperplasia or tumorigenesis, environmental, dietary or other unknown factors might affect PSA levels.…”

“…The upper limits of the age-specific PSA reference ranges of the Chinese patients in this study were similar to those of Oesterling et al [14] in the 60-69 age group, but in the other age groups the upper limits of the age-specific PSA reference ranges were lower; the difference was especially large in the 70-79 age group. The table compares the 95th percentiles of each age group in this study with data from Korean [15], Japanese [16,17], and Asian-Americans [18]. The data of Asian Americans were obtained from DeAntoni et al's study [18].…”

This study is to determine age-specific prostate-specific antigen (PSA) distributions in Chinese men without prostate cancer (PC) and to recommend reference ranges for this population after comparison with other studies. From September 2003 to December 2006, 9 374 adult men aged from 18 to 96 years agreed to participate in the study. After all cases of PC were excluded, 8 422 adult men participated in statistical analysis and were divided into five age groups. Simple descriptive statistical analyses were carried out and quartiles and 95th percentiles were calculated for each age group. The age-specific PSA reference ranges are as follows: 40-49 years, 2.15 ng mL -1 ; 50-59 years, 3.20 ng mL -1 ; 60-69 years, 4.10 ng mL -1 ; 70-79 years, 5.37 ng mL -1 . The results indicate that the ethnic differences in PSA levels are obvious. The currently adopted Oesterling's age-specific PSA reference ranges are not appropriate for Chinese men. The reference ranges of this study should be more suitable to Chinese men.

“…1 There are approximately 50 million men ages 40 -74 years in the U.S. 82 The experience of the Prostate Cancer Awareness Week would suggest that approximately 92% of these men have a PSA level Ͻ 4.0 ng/mL. [83][84][85] Among the 8% of men with a PSA level Ն 4.0 ng/mL, 25% or 1 million men have prostate carcinoma. Based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, approximately 19% or 190,000 men would be anticipated to have high-grade disease.…”

Objective To review the literature and collect expert advice for proposing preventive and curative treatments of mouth and dental involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma). Methods The literature pertaining to mouth and/or dental involvement related to SSc was reviewed, and recommendations were developed according to the suggestions of a French multidisciplinary working group of experts and validated by a lecture committee. Results Dentists face 3 main issues in caring for SSc patients: oral mucosa involvement, manducatory apparatus and mouth involvement responsible for limitations in mouth opening, and treatment‐related adverse events. An increased risk of tongue carcinoma has been noted. In patients with severe limitation in mouth opening (<30 mm), recommended treatments are a specific mouth‐opening rehabilitation program, flexible sectional dentures, and splint therapy. Indications for dental implants depend on the severity of SSc, comorbidities, and/or ongoing bisphosphonate treatment. Prevention of mouth infections and caries implies patient education and teaching about mouth and dental hygiene, periodontal maintenance, and treatment of sicca syndrome. Cessation of tobacco use is mandatory. Patient‐tailored rehabilitation may improve limitations in mouth opening. Systematic dental panoramic radiography allows for the early detection of dental caries. Conclusion Prevention of oral and dental complications is a major issue in patients with SSc. Dental treatment should be tailored to limitations in mouth opening, disease severity, and ongoing treatments.
