The urinary bladder performs critical complex functions that rely on its highly coordinated anatomical composition and multiplex of regulatory mechanisms. Bladder pathologies resulting in severe dysfunction are common clinical encounter and often cause significant impairment of patient's quality of life. Current surgical and medical interventions to correct urinary dysfunction or to replace an absent or defective bladder are sub-optimal and are associated with notable complications. As a result, stem cell based therapies for the urinary bladder are hoped to offer new venues that could make up for limitations of existing therapies. In this article, we review research efforts that describe the use of different types of stem cells in bladder reconstruction, urinary incontinence and retention disorders. In particular, stress urinary incontinence has been a popular target for stem cell based therapies in reported clinical trials. Furthermore, we discuss the relevance of the cancer stem cell hypothesis to the development of bladder cancer. A key subject that should not be overlooked is the safety and quality of stem cell based therapies introduced to human subjects either in a research or a clinical context.展开更多

CAP of various concentrations was instilled into the urinary bladder, and intravesical pressure, detrusor contraction and micturition status were recorded; then the trigone of the bladder was cut off and prepared for peroxidase -antiperoxidase (PAP) immunohistochemical investigation. The changes on the distribution of Sub- stance P (SP) in control and experimental groups were compared. The results showed that the intravesical application of CAP caused a significant change in the urinary bladder function. At a low concentration of CAP there was a slight increase of maximal detrusor pressure, but at a high concentration of CAP the maximal intravesical pressure was significantly decreased and associated with urinary retention and urinary incontinence. PAP sustaining had shown a depletion of SP in CAP-treated urinary bladder in rats, and this depletion was more significant at high concentrations of CAP. Because this depletion could block C-fiber transmission, detrusor function entered, from primary excitation phase, a late inhibitory phase. This suggests that a local application of CAP into urinary bladder could be used in the treatment of neurogenic bladder (detrusor hyperreflexia) to relieve frequency, urgency, incontinence and improve renal function.展开更多

Methods: Six cases of bladder pheochromocytoma were studied. Four cases showed hypertension, 3 of which were paroxysmal hypertension during urination. Catecholamine (CA) was increased in a case, and vanillymandelic acid (VMA) was increased in 2 cases. Bladder sub- mucosal mass was detected by B-ultrasound in 5 cases (5/5), computerized tomography (CT) in 3 cases (3/3), cystoscopy in 5 cases (5/6). Four cases took α-receptor blocker for 2 weeks, 1 case took β-receptor blocker to decrease heart rate. All patients were treated with surgical operation including 4 partial cystectomies, 2 excavations. Results: Three cases had manifestations including headache, excessive perspiration and hypertension during cystoscopy. Four cases were confirmed before operation. Two cases showed hypertension during operation. All patients were pathologically diagnosed as pheochromocytoma post- operatively. In five cases followed up, blood pressure returned to normal. No patient had relapse and malignancy. Conclusions: Typical hypertension during urination comprised the main symptoms. We should highly suspect bladder pheochromocytoma if a submucosal mass was discovered with B-ultrasound, CT, 131I-MIBG (methyliodobenzylguanidine) and cystoscopy. The deter- mination of CA in urine is valuable for qualitative diagnosis. The preoperative management of controlling blood pressure and expansion of the blood volume are very important. Surgical operation is a good method for effective treatment. Postoperative long-time followed up is necessary.展开更多

Methods Altogether 658 UCB cases in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were collected from January 2006 to December 2010. The histopathologic materials and the clinical records were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were preformed to detect the association. Results The mean age of the patients was 61.97±12.97 years (range, 20-90 years). Male to female ratio was about 5:1. A total of 517 cases (78.6%) were superficial at the time of diagnosis (stage Ta/T1). The mean follow-up period was 22.36±24.92 months. Twenty-five patients lacking follow-up information were excluded in calculating recurrence and progression rates, the recurrence rate was about 37.0% (234/633), and progression rate about 6.2% (39/633). Three variables (grade, tumor growth pattern, and pathological stage) were found to be significant risk factors for tumor progression in univariate and multivariate analyses (P<0.05). Conclusions Most of the newly diagnosed UCB cases may be superficial diseases. Grade, tumor growth pattern, and pathological stage are associated with tumor progression of UCB.展开更多

Methods: Immunohistochemistry method was used in the detection of the expression of G1-cyclins in 57 cases of TCC (7 normal bladders as control), and HPV-18 DNA was found in 29 cases by polymerases chain reaction (PCR). Results: Cyclin D1 expression was found in 41 of 57 (71.93%) TCCs and it was reverse associated with HPV (x2=8.21, P<0.05). And cyclin D1 expression was found in 16 of 29 (55.17%) in HPV-18 infection group and 25 of 28 (89.29%) in non-HPV infection group. Cyclin E expression was detected in 36 of 57 (63.16%) and the association between the cyclin E expression and HPV infection was not found (x2=0.52, P>0.05). Cyclin E expression was found in 17 of 29 (56.82%) in HPV-18 infection group and 19 of 28 (67.86%) in non-HPV infection group. There was obvious difference in the cyclin D1 and cyclin E expression between the TCC and normal tissue (x2=7.46, P<0.05; x2=7.45, P<0.05, respectively). Conclusion: These data demonstrated that HPV infection altered the control of G1 cell cycle. And changes of G1 cell cycle regulatory proteins, either by interaction of cellular protein with viral oncoproteins or by changes in the cellular proteins themselves, may be critical for carcinogenesis of TCC of urinary bladder.展开更多

Although this disorder is relatively rare, when the bladder ruptures into the abdominal cavity, urine leaking into the abdominal cavity leads to the development of urinary peritonitis. We encountered seven patients with spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder at our institution between 1987 and 2012. Six of these patients were women, all of whom had undergone surgery and radiotherapy to treat malignant uterine tumor. All seven patients suddenly developed abdominal pain and ascites. Urea nitrogen (UN) and creatinine (Cre) levels were greater in ascites than in the blood in all patients. Although all patients were treated conservatively, recurrence was identified in three patients. Recurrence was observed in only one of the four patients who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Conclusion: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be effective for recurrence of spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder.展开更多

The findings showed that P36 located mainly in the cytoplasm with a small amount in cellular membrane and its total positive rate was 53. 3%. In patients whose tumor cells were deeply infiltrated and poorly differentiated, and who relapsed and died, the positive staining was stronger. The result indicates that P36 is an important molecule closely related to trans formation of bladder cancer. It is an essential marker for judging the malignancy and prognosis of bladder cancer.展开更多

Urinary retention is the most common clinically significant reported side effect ranging from 5.4% to 43% in previous studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the real-time rate of urinary retention in patients treated with BTN/A for refractory non-neurogenic OAB in a multi-institutional study. Methods: Retrospective chart review identified 71 patients who were treated with 100U BTN/A for refractory non-neurogenic OAB from August 2011 to July 2015 at two institutions. Using a flexible cystoscope, 100U Botox® reconstituted with 10 ml normal saline was administered. Injections of 1 ml (10 units/ mL) were administered in 10 evenly distributed sites sparing the trigone. Pre and post BTN/A post-void residuals (PVR) were reviewed. Urinary retention was defined as PVR > 200 mL requiring clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). Results: After exclusion, the study group consisted of 66 patients with a mean age of 67 years and 30% were men. Mean pre and post-procedural PVR were 14.06 mL and 69.21 mL. Eight patients (12.12%) were noted to have elevated PVR > 200 mL post injection however only one patient (female) required initiation of CIC. The rate of urinary retention was 1.5% (N = 1). There was no correlation with age, history of previous radiation, diabetes or prior use of a neuromodulator device. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate a very low risk of real-time urinary retention rates in appropriately selected patients treated with BTN/A for refractory non-neurogenic OAB outside of a clinical trial setting.展开更多

For this scheme to work, a sensor capable of reliably detecting the onset of bladder contractions is needed. This article reviews the methods proposed for or associated with detection of bladder contractions, and their applicability to onset detection is assessed. Fourteen methods are described in this review;bladder pressure, urethral sphincter EMG and anal sphincter EMG are the most promising options for onset detection. For all three modalities, however, further research is needed before clinical application becomes viable.展开更多

Objective: To find out the efficacy of urinary bladder inflation immediately prior to cesarean section (CS) procedure in minimizing incidence of accidently urinary tract injury in high risk patients. Setting: Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine, South Valley University, Qena, Egypt. Duration: From August 2017 to November 2018. Study Design: A prospective randomized controlled trial. Methods: Seventy six pregnant women recruited from attendants of outpatient antenatal care unit of obstetrics and gynecology department who planned for cesarean delivery and carried one or more risk factors for urinary tract injury. Patients randomly were classified into 2 groups (group I included 38 cases, underwent bladder inflation using triple way Foley’s catheter immediately before CS and group II included 38 cases, and underwent bladder deflation with 2 ways Foley’s catheter immediately before CS. Results: The overall incidence of urinary tract injury was significantly higher in group II (7 cases = 18.4%) than in group I (2 cases = 5.2%) with p value < 0.001. The incidence of urinary bladder injury was moderately significantly higher in group II (5 cases = 13.1%) than group I (2 cases = 5.2%) with p value 0.01;ureteric or combined vesico-ureteric injuries had been reported only in group II (1 case = 2.6% and 1 case = 2.6%) respectively with no case reported in group I (p There was a highly statistically significant difference between group I and group II as regard to hospital stay (p < 0.001) but mildly significant differences in operative time and remote urinary tract fistulae (p Conclusions: There was significant reduction in urinary bladder injury, ureteric injury, operative time and hospital stay. Urinary bladder inflation immediately before cesarean section should be applied in patients who have any risk factor of dense bladder adhesion as a protective procedure against urinary tract injuries.展开更多

文摘In order to investigate the effect of capsaicin (CAP) on the urinary bladder function, an in vivo whole bladder study was undertaken in 25 adult healthy Wistar rats. CAP of various concentrations was instilled into the urinary bladder, and intravesical pressure, detrusor contraction and micturition status were recorded; then the trigone of the bladder was cut off and prepared for peroxidase -antiperoxidase (PAP) immunohistochemical investigation.

文摘OBJECTIVE To discuss the pathologic characteristics and theprognosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the bladder(NECB)in order to assist in making a precise diagnosis and to effectivelytreat the disease.METHODS Clinicopathologic features of the 6 cases with NECBwere analyzed retrospectively.The personal data of the patientsand the pathologic and immunohistochemical characteristics ofthe tumor were investigated.The follow-up of these patients wasconducted over a time period ranging from 3 months to 9 years.RESULTS Transurethral resection of the bladder tumorwas performed in all 6 patients.Based on the results of thepathologic examination,4 of the cases were diagnosed as smallcell neuroendocrine carcinoma and the other 2 were diagnosedas atypical carcinoid tumor.On immunohistochemical stainingall tumors expressed neuroendocrine markers includingneuronspecific enolase(CD56),synaptophysin(Syn)andchromogranin(CgA).In patients receiving partial cystectomyfollowed by postoperative chemotherapy,relapse was found in 4of the 6 cases on follow up.CONCLUSION NECB is a rare entity and a tumor with highmalignant potential and characteristic pathologic features.Hematuria is the cardinal symptom of NECB.Metastasis mayoccur at an early stage and the prognosis of the disease is poor.Final diagnosis of NECB depends on histopathologic examinationand immunohistochemical assays.Surgical excision combinedwith radiotherapy and chemotherapy is considered an effectivetreatment.
文摘Objective To study the clinicopathological features of patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder (UCB), and analyze the association of clinicopathological characteristics with tumor recurrence and progression. Methods Altogether 658 UCB cases in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were collected from January 2006 to December 2010. The histopathologic materials and the clinical records were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were preformed to detect the association. Results The mean age of the patients was 61.97±12.97 years (range, 20-90 years). Male to female ratio was about 5:1. A total of 517 cases (78.6%) were superficial at the time of diagnosis (stage Ta/T1). The mean follow-up period was 22.36±24.92 months. Twenty-five patients lacking follow-up information were excluded in calculating recurrence and progression rates, the recurrence rate was about 37.0% (234/633), and progression rate about 6.2% (39/633). Three variables (grade, tumor growth pattern, and pathological stage) were found to be significant risk factors for tumor progression in univariate and multivariate analyses (P<0.05). Conclusions Most of the newly diagnosed UCB cases may be superficial diseases. Grade, tumor growth pattern, and pathological stage are associated with tumor progression of UCB.

文摘Objective: This study was designed to investigate differential pattern of G1-cyclins (D1 and E) in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of human urinary bladder with or without human papillomavirus-18 (HPV-18) infection. Methods: Immunohistochemistry method was used in the detection of the expression of G1-cyclins in 57 cases of TCC (7 normal bladders as control), and HPV-18 DNA was found in 29 cases by polymerases chain reaction (PCR). Results: Cyclin D1 expression was found in 41 of 57 (71.93%) TCCs and it was reverse associated with HPV (x2=8.21, P<0.05). And cyclin D1 expression was found in 16 of 29 (55.17%) in HPV-18 infection group and 25 of 28 (89.29%) in non-HPV infection group. Cyclin E expression was detected in 36 of 57 (63.16%) and the association between the cyclin E expression and HPV infection was not found (x2=0.52, P>0.05). Cyclin E expression was found in 17 of 29 (56.82%) in HPV-18 infection group and 19 of 28 (67.86%) in non-HPV infection group. There was obvious difference in the cyclin D1 and cyclin E expression between the TCC and normal tissue (x2=7.46, P<0.05; x2=7.45, P<0.05, respectively). Conclusion: These data demonstrated that HPV infection altered the control of G1 cell cycle. And changes of G1 cell cycle regulatory proteins, either by interaction of cellular protein with viral oncoproteins or by changes in the cellular proteins themselves, may be critical for carcinogenesis of TCC of urinary bladder.
文摘Fish bones are the most common foreign objects leading to bowel perforation.Most cases are confined to the extraluminal space without penetration of an adjacent organ.However,abscess formation due to the perforation of the rectosigmoid colon by a fish bone can lead to the penetration of the urinary bladder and may subsequently cause the fish bone to migrate into the urinary bladder.In the presented case,a 42-yearold female was admitted for lower abdominal pain.The computed tomography(CT)demonstrated a 5cm pelvic abscess containing a thin and curvilinear foreign body.After conservative management,the patient was discharged.After 1 mo,the subject developed a mechanical ileus.Surgery had to be delayed due to her hyperthyroidism.Migration of the foreign body to the urinary bladder was shown on additional CT.A Yellowish fish bone 3.5 cm in size was removed through intraoperative cystoscopy.The patient was discharged 8 d after the operation without any unexpected event.
文摘Non-traumatic rupture of the urinary bladder is termed “spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder”. Although this disorder is relatively rare, when the bladder ruptures into the abdominal cavity, urine leaking into the abdominal cavity leads to the development of urinary peritonitis. We encountered seven patients with spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder at our institution between 1987 and 2012. Six of these patients were women, all of whom had undergone surgery and radiotherapy to treat malignant uterine tumor. All seven patients suddenly developed abdominal pain and ascites. Urea nitrogen (UN) and creatinine (Cre) levels were greater in ascites than in the blood in all patients. Although all patients were treated conservatively, recurrence was identified in three patients. Recurrence was observed in only one of the four patients who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Conclusion: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be effective for recurrence of spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder.
文摘Distribution and expression of P36 in 30 cases of urinary bladder cancer were studied with SP immunocytochemistry. The findings showed that P36 located mainly in the cytoplasm with a small amount in cellular membrane and its total positive rate was 53. 3%. In patients whose tumor cells were deeply infiltrated and poorly differentiated, and who relapsed and died, the positive staining was stronger. The result indicates that P36 is an important molecule closely related to trans formation of bladder cancer. It is an essential marker for judging the malignancy and prognosis of bladder cancer.
文摘Introduction: According to the most recent AUA/SUFU guidelines, intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (BTN/A) is a standard, evidence strength grade B, third line treatment option for refractory non-neurogenic overactive bladder (OAB). Urinary retention is the most common clinically significant reported side effect ranging from 5.4% to 43% in previous studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the real-time rate of urinary retention in patients treated with BTN/A for refractory non-neurogenic OAB in a multi-institutional study. Methods: Retrospective chart review identified 71 patients who were treated with 100U BTN/A for refractory non-neurogenic OAB from August 2011 to July 2015 at two institutions. Using a flexible cystoscope, 100U Botox® reconstituted with 10 ml normal saline was administered. Injections of 1 ml (10 units/ mL) were administered in 10 evenly distributed sites sparing the trigone. Pre and post BTN/A post-void residuals (PVR) were reviewed. Urinary retention was defined as PVR > 200 mL requiring clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). Results: After exclusion, the study group consisted of 66 patients with a mean age of 67 years and 30% were men. Mean pre and post-procedural PVR were 14.06 mL and 69.21 mL. Eight patients (12.12%) were noted to have elevated PVR > 200 mL post injection however only one patient (female) required initiation of CIC. The rate of urinary retention was 1.5% (N = 1). There was no correlation with age, history of previous radiation, diabetes or prior use of a neuromodulator device. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate a very low risk of real-time urinary retention rates in appropriately selected patients treated with BTN/A for refractory non-neurogenic OAB outside of a clinical trial setting.
文摘In patients suffering from neurogenic detrusor overactivity, continence can be regained by conditional stimulation of the dorsal genital nerve (DGN);that is applying electrical stimulation to the DGN at the onset of an involuntary contraction. For this scheme to work, a sensor capable of reliably detecting the onset of bladder contractions is needed. This article reviews the methods proposed for or associated with detection of bladder contractions, and their applicability to onset detection is assessed. Fourteen methods are described in this review;bladder pressure, urethral sphincter EMG and anal sphincter EMG are the most promising options for onset detection. For all three modalities, however, further research is needed before clinical application becomes viable.
文摘Background: Accidental urinary tract particularly bladder injury during cesarean delivery has a significant maternal morbidity, as it may lead to extended operative time, infection of urinary tract and sometimes development of urinary tract fistulae. Objective: To find out the efficacy of urinary bladder inflation immediately prior to cesarean section (CS) procedure in minimizing incidence of accidently urinary tract injury in high risk patients. Setting: Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine, South Valley University, Qena, Egypt. Duration: From August 2017 to November 2018. Study Design: A prospective randomized controlled trial. Methods: Seventy six pregnant women recruited from attendants of outpatient antenatal care unit of obstetrics and gynecology department who planned for cesarean delivery and carried one or more risk factors for urinary tract injury. Patients randomly were classified into 2 groups (group I included 38 cases, underwent bladder inflation using triple way Foley’s catheter immediately before CS and group II included 38 cases, and underwent bladder deflation with 2 ways Foley’s catheter immediately before CS. Results: The overall incidence of urinary tract injury was significantly higher in group II (7 cases = 18.4%) than in group I (2 cases = 5.2%) with p value < 0.001. The incidence of urinary bladder injury was moderately significantly higher in group II (5 cases = 13.1%) than group I (2 cases = 5.2%) with p value 0.01;ureteric or combined vesico-ureteric injuries had been reported only in group II (1 case = 2.6% and 1 case = 2.6%) respectively with no case reported in group I (p There was a highly statistically significant difference between group I and group II as regard to hospital stay (p < 0.001) but mildly significant differences in operative time and remote urinary tract fistulae (p Conclusions: There was significant reduction in urinary bladder injury, ureteric injury, operative time and hospital stay. Urinary bladder inflation immediately before cesarean section should be applied in patients who have any risk factor of dense bladder adhesion as a protective procedure against urinary tract injuries.
文摘A wide range of objects have been inserted into the urinary bladder and urethra.Most foreign bodies in the lower genitourinary tract are self-inserted via the urethra as the result of erotic impulses,psychometric problems,sexual curiosity,or sexual practice while intoxicated.Here we report the case of a 32-year-old female with alleged history of insertion of glass ampoule in the urethra by the husband in eroticism which was removed with open surgery.This is the first case of its kind as per the literature available.
