[Potassium ion channels and prostatic diseases].
Potassium ion channels are a complex of protein molded in the cell membrane lipids. Its expression is strong in normal prostatic epithelia and weak in different degrees in prostatic cancer epithelia, but not clearly known in chronic prostatitis epithelia. Drugs affecting potassium ion channels could provide a new direction and some new ideas for the treatment of prostatic diseases.
