The weight of the prostatic lobes in man was determined in an atuopsy series comprising 158 cases. In children the medial pair of lobes formed half of the prostate gland. The "normal" mean weights in adult men of the dorsal, lateral and medial pair of lobes were 3.6, 3.4 and 4.3 g, respectively. In adult men there was no change in lobe weight with increasing age. In subjects who died after protracted disease all of the prostatic lobes had decreased in weight. In subjects with periurethral adenomas the greater weight of the total prostate was due to higher weights of the dorsal and medial prostatic lobes. The observation that the separate prostatic lobes in man can react differently to growth promoting factors indicates that the lobation of the human prostate is not only of anatomical but also of physiological significance.
在一个包含158例尸检的系列研究中测定了男性前列腺叶的重量。在儿童中,内侧的一对叶构成前列腺的一半。成年男性背叶、外侧叶和内侧叶对的“正常”平均重量分别为3.6克、3.4克和4.3克。成年男性中,叶的重量不会随年龄增长而变化。在久病后死亡的受试者中,所有前列腺叶的重量均减轻。在患有尿道周围腺瘤的受试者中,前列腺总重量增加是由于背叶和内侧叶重量增加。男性前列腺各叶对生长促进因子的反应不同这一观察结果表明,人类前列腺的叶状结构不仅具有解剖学意义,而且具有生理学意义。
