The pathological basis of NB is the occurrence of lesions in the urination control center, which requires systematic treatment. Western medicine has many treatment methods for this disease, which can alleviate the symptoms of the disease. However, the radical effect is not ideal and there are many adverse reactions. In comparison, acupuncture can improve the residual urine volume of NB patients and regulate the related indexes of urodynamics. There are many kinds of acupuncture therapies, such as simple acupuncture and moxibustion, which can comprehensively improve the therapeutic effect and obtain a better disease prognosis. Therefore, this article elaborates on the pathogenesis of SCI complicated with NB, the treatment mechanism, and treatment methods of acupuncture and moxibustion to provide a reference for clinical treatment.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

Urodynamic examination was performed 2 weeks later to determine neurogenic bladder status. The rabbits were treated with anodal block stimulation at sacral anterior roots for 4 weeks. Electrical stimulation of sacral anterior roots improved urodynamic parameters of neurogenic bladder in rabbit models of complete spinal cord injury, effectively promoted urinary function, and relieved urinary retention. Immunohistochemistry results showed that a balance was achieved among expression of muscarinic receptor subunits M2, M3, ATP-gated ion channel P2X3 receptors, and 132-adrenergic receptor, and nerve growth factor expression decreased. These results suggested that long-term sacral anterior root stimulation of anodal block could'be used to treat neurogenic bladder in a rabbit model of complete spinal cord injury.展开更多

We investigated the trends in publication of articles under the topic "neurogenic bladder" using bibliometric analysis. Articles on neurogenic bladder, published between 1995 and 2014, were retrieved from the ISI Web of Science citation database. We analyzed the search results for authors, countries, institutions, journals, and top-cited papers. A total of 1,904 articles were re- trieved. There was a small increase in the number of articles on neurogenic bladder from 1995 (n = 43) to 2014 (n = 117). The USA was the leading country in the total number of articles (n = 598). However, the number of publications from China has rapidly increased, and China was ranked second in 2014. Emmanuel Chartier-Kastler (n = 65) was the most productive author, and University of Paris VI (Paris 6) (n = 61) was the most productive institution. The Journal of Urology published the greatest number of artides on this topic (n = 285). Articles on neurogenic bladder were often published in a professional journal under the category Urology & Nephrology, Neurosciences & Neurology, or Rehabilitation. Visualization analysis based on co-citation networks was conducted using CiteSpace III. Visualization analysis revealed that the hot spots in neurogenic bladder were botulinum toxin-A, prazosin, bethanechol, and afferent pathways. These findings provide new insight into the publication trends and hot spots in neurogenic bladder.展开更多

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

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: Data from sixty-two patients referred to our NB clinic after RH were retrospectively reviewed. Findings of urodynamic studies performed at 3 (UDS-1) and 12 (UDS-2) months after treatment were compared, and logistic analysis was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of the effects of radiotherapy and irreversible NB on decreased bladder capacity and decreased compliance. Irreversible NB was defined as the need for clean intermittent catheterization at the last follow-up. Results: At the median follow-up period of 41 months, 60% of the patients continued to require clean intermittent catheterization. Of patients with irreversible NB and radiotherapy, 80% had decreased bladder capacity and decreased compliance at UDS-2. For decreased bladder capacity and decreased compliance, ORs of adjuvant radiotherapy at UDS-2 were 38.42 (p Conclusions: Careful neurourological follow-up after RH is mandatory for patients who undergo adjuvant radiotherapy and have irreversible NB with impaired urethral relaxation.展开更多

We herein present a case of a young female who presented with macroscopic hematuria. An IMT of the urinary bladder which was not suspected after clinical, radiological and surgical work-up was diagnosed microscopically and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. A close clinical follow-up is recommended because of the unknown biological behavior of this tumor. A brief review of literature is also presented here.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

The primary aim of this treatment is to ensure a low pressure regimen in the urinary bladder, but the mechanisms leading to long-term protection of the urinary tract remain poorly understood. In this paper, we highlight the potential benefits of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin regarding local effects on the bladder structures, urinary tract infections, stone disease, vesico ureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, renal function based on a comprehensive literature review.展开更多

文摘In spite of the fact that xanthomas of the skin,tendons and mucosae are relatively common conditions,urinary bladder xanthoma is a rare benign lesion,only occasionally reported in literature.It usually appears as an exophytic mass into the bladder cavity,which often worries the clinicians,because it is considered as a neoplasm that need both an excision and follow-up.We herein describe the 32nd case,accidentally identified in a 63-year-old man with a right urinary bladder mass on follow-up abdominal ultrasound scan for a previous open pyeloplasty.He also referred mild obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms.Consequently,a cystoscopy with biopsies was performed and the subsequent histopathological examination was consistent with the diagnosis of urinary bladder xanthoma.Therefore,no additional therapeutics interventions were needed,and the patient currently presents nor symptoms,recurrences,or other pathologies.Although its rarity,it is important to correctly identify urinary bladder xanthoma,differentiating it from other pathological entities which present similar histopathological characteristics,but which sometimes could be associated with a patients’dismal prognosis.Moreover,an accurate diagnosis of urinary bladder xanthoma can avoid both additional treatments and follow up,but also allows to recognize some potential detrimental pathologies which could be associated with it,such as either an altered lipid metabolism or urothelial neoplasms.Proper and prompt recognition and treatment of these last can notably improve patient’s outcome.
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. 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.

文摘A complete spinal cord injury model was established in experimental rabbits using the spinal cord clip compression method. Urodynamic examination was performed 2 weeks later to determine neurogenic bladder status. The rabbits were treated with anodal block stimulation at sacral anterior roots for 4 weeks. Electrical stimulation of sacral anterior roots improved urodynamic parameters of neurogenic bladder in rabbit models of complete spinal cord injury, effectively promoted urinary function, and relieved urinary retention. Immunohistochemistry results showed that a balance was achieved among expression of muscarinic receptor subunits M2, M3, ATP-gated ion channel P2X3 receptors, and 132-adrenergic receptor, and nerve growth factor expression decreased. These results suggested that long-term sacral anterior root stimulation of anodal block could'be used to treat neurogenic bladder in a rabbit model of complete spinal cord injury.

文摘Neurogenic bladder is a dysfunction of the lower urinary tract caused by nervous system disor- der. We investigated the trends in publication of articles under the topic "neurogenic bladder" using bibliometric analysis. Articles on neurogenic bladder, published between 1995 and 2014, were retrieved from the ISI Web of Science citation database. We analyzed the search results for authors, countries, institutions, journals, and top-cited papers. A total of 1,904 articles were re- trieved.

文摘Dear Editor,Phaeochromocytoma of thelurinary bladder is a rare tumour that originates from chromaffin tissue of the sympathetic nervous system situated within the urinary bladder wall[1].These are tumours of the sympathetic nervous tissue and the symptom profile will depend on the secretory function[1].These account for less than 0.05%of all bladder tu-mours and less than 1%of all phaeochromocytoma[1].As phaeochromocytoma of the urinary bladder is such a rare condition,only limited literature is available to direct clinical decision making.
文摘Objective: To study the diagnosis and treatment of pheochromocytoma in urinary bladder. 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.
文摘Purpose: To clarify which patients need careful neurourological management after abdominal radical hysterectomy (RH) by investigating the effects of adjuvant radiotherapy and reversibility of neurogenic bladder (NB) on the storage function as well as the effects of urethral resistance on the emptying function. Methods: Data from sixty-two patients referred to our NB clinic after RH were retrospectively reviewed. Findings of urodynamic studies performed at 3 (UDS-1) and 12 (UDS-2) months after treatment were compared, and logistic analysis was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of the effects of radiotherapy and irreversible NB on decreased bladder capacity and decreased compliance. Irreversible NB was defined as the need for clean intermittent catheterization at the last follow-up. Results: At the median follow-up period of 41 months, 60% of the patients continued to require clean intermittent catheterization. Of patients with irreversible NB and radiotherapy, 80% had decreased bladder capacity and decreased compliance at UDS-2. For decreased bladder capacity and decreased compliance, ORs of adjuvant radiotherapy at UDS-2 were 38.42 (p Conclusions: Careful neurourological follow-up after RH is mandatory for patients who undergo adjuvant radiotherapy and have irreversible NB with impaired urethral relaxation.
文摘Urinary bladder neural dysfunction (UBND) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. When urinary bladder paralysis develops, urinary system infection readily occurs. If the infection is not treated properly, serious sequelae will happen. Western doctors primarily use
文摘Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm with unknown malignant potential that has been described in most organ systems. We herein present a case of a young female who presented with macroscopic hematuria. An IMT of the urinary bladder which was not suspected after clinical, radiological and surgical work-up was diagnosed microscopically and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. A close clinical follow-up is recommended because of the unknown biological behavior of this tumor. A brief review of literature is also presented here.
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Intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin are the cornerstone of medical treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The primary aim of this treatment is to ensure a low pressure regimen in the urinary bladder, but the mechanisms leading to long-term protection of the urinary tract remain poorly understood. In this paper, we highlight the potential benefits of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin regarding local effects on the bladder structures, urinary tract infections, stone disease, vesico ureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, renal function based on a comprehensive literature review.
