Sling incision with associated vaginal wall interposition for obstructed voiding secondary to suburethral sling procedure

Obstructed voiding is a well recognized complication following a suburethral sling procedure. Current methods of transvaginal and transabdominal urethrolysis have had variable success rates in relieving the obstruction, and do not restabilize the urethra to prevent potential postoperative stress incontinence. We report on a procedure used in 4 cases which addresses both of these issues. All patients had persistent urinary retention beyond 8 weeks after a suburethral sling procedure. An oupatient procedure consisting of sling incision and associated tissue interposition (vaginal wall in three cases and fascia lata in one) was successful in relieving the obstruction. Continence status was maintained in 3 of the 4 patients. There were no major complications of this outpatient procedure.     

Variation in the diagnosis of vesicoureteric reflux using micturating cystourethrography

  Variability in the interpretation of micturating cystourethrography by paediatric radiologists for the diagnosis of vesicoureteric reflux in children was evaluated. All 265 micturating cystourethrograms (MCUs) that were available from 304 consecutive children aged 0.5 – 61 months  –  who were investigated after their first urine infection between 1993 and 1995 as part of a prospective cohort study  –  were selected for interpretation. Three experienced paediatric radiologists from the same department independently interpreted the MCUs according to the grading system of the International Reflux Study in Children, from grades 0 to V, with the presence of intrarenal reflux also noted. Apart from being informed that urine infection was the indication for the MCU, no other clinical information was given to the radiologists. The indices of variability used were the percentage of agreement and the kappa statistic, expressed as a percentage. Both measures were weighted with integers representing the number of categories from perfect agreement. Disagreement was analysed for children and kidneys. For the diagnosis of vesicoureteric reflux in individual patients, including grade, the percentage of agreement was 96% – 97% (kappa 90% – 91%) and the weighted percentage of agreement was 96% – 98% (weighted kappa 93% – 94%). The same high level of agreement was present for individual kidneys, with a percentage of agreement of 97% – 98% (kappa 89% – 92%) and a weighted percentage of agreement of 98% – 99% (kappa 94% – 95%). There was near perfect agreement in the interpretation of radiological micturating cystourethrography among three experienced paediatric radiologists for the diagnosis and grade of vesicoureteric reflux. Any variations in the medical care of children suspected of having vesicoureteric reflux are not explained by differences in the reporting of this diagnostic test.

Myoblast fusion in Drosophila melanogaster is mediated through a fusion-restricted myogenic-adhesive structure (FuRMAS).

During myogenesis in Drosophila embryos, a prominent adhesive structure is formed between precursor cells and fusion-competent myoblasts (fcms). Here, we show that Duf/Kirre and its interaction partners Rols7 (found in founder myoblasts and growing myotubes) and Sns (found in fcms) are organized in a ring-structure at the contact points of fcms with precursor cells, while cytoskeletal components like F-actin and Titin are centered in this ring in both cell types. The cytoplasmic protein Blow colocalizes with the actin plugs in fcms after cell adhesion. Furthermore, the requirement of additional as yet unidentified components was demonstrated by using mammalian C2C12 myoblasts. In this study, we propose that the fusion-restricted myogenic-adhesive structure (FuRMAS) is pivotal in linking cell adhesion as well as local F-actin assembly and dynamics to downstream events that ultimately lead to plasma membrane fusion. Moreover, we suggest that the FuRMAS may restrict the area of membrane breakdown.

Stimulated pressure response of the ileocolonic junctional zone and its use as a continence mechanism in a canine model

Summary Mechanisms for maintaining passive continence in the efferent limb of urinary diversions include compression of tissue, peristalsis, equilibration of pressure and use of valves. Motor activity and pressure in the ileum, ileocecal valve (ICV) and the colon were evaluated in dogs. Spontaneous activity and pressure were compared with stimulated pressure response and activity. Stimulation was performed at the pelvic nerve and the small nerves in the mesenterium, as well as direct neurostimulation of the bowel. Resting pressure at the ICV was 12.7±0.4 cmH₂O rising to 26.4±2.2 cmH₂O during spontaneous depolarization. Stimulation of the pelvic nerve resulted in increased colonic motor activity with unchanged pressure. Electric stimulation of small mesenterical nerves to the ICV increased pressure in the ICV to 35.0±4.1 cmH₂O, while direct myoelectric stimulation of the ICV zone increased the intraluminal pressure to 75.0±3.2 cmH₂O. Termination of the electric stimulation was followed by a slow decrease of pressure to the resting level a period of 30–45 s. Maintaining continence at the ICV with long-term constant or intermittent stimulation seems feasible.     

Infection of catheterised patients: bacterial colonisation of encrusted Foley catheters shown by scanning electron microscopy

Summary The surfaces of 32 encrusted urinary catheters were examined by scanning electron microscopy to investigate the association of bacteria with the encrusting deposits. Deposits consisted of struvite crystals surrounded by aggregates of very small crystallites of hydroxyapatite. Underneath these minerals there was a layer of closely packed bacteria. Impressions of bacteria were also observed in hydroxyapatite. Crystals were often engulfed by the bacterial layer, which thus appeared to bind the crystals to each other and to the catheter surface. This thick layer of bacteria associated with crystals may protect both the bacteria from antibiotics and the crystals from acidic bladder washout solutions intended to dissolve them. Furthermore, the existence of this sessile population explains why urease-producing bacteria are not invariably detected in the urine of patients with encrusted catheters. The observation of this bacterial layer (or biofilm) by scanning electron microscopy provided direct evidence for infection being implicated in catheter encrustation.     

Connective tissue metabolism in children with chronic renal failure

To assess the characteristics of connective tissue metabolism in chronic renal failure (CRF), urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) fractions and hydroxyproline (HYP) was determined in ten patients with CRF and in ten age-matched healthy children. CRF was found to be associated with elevated free HYP (19.9±6.1 vs 9.8±3.6 mol/day,P<0.05) and depressed peptide HYP excretion (33.1±13.5 vs 225.2±17.7 mol/day,P<0.01), a low rate of total GAG excretion (7.0±2.4 vs 16.1±1.9 mol uronic acid/day,P<0.05) with low chondroitin 4 — sulphate + chondroitin 6 — sulphate (Ch-Ss) (14.0±9.9 vs 65.0±22.1%) and a high proportion of non-sulphated or under-sulphated fractions, i.e. hyaluronic acid + chondroitin + heparan sulphate (HA+Ch+HS) (75.3±11.4 vs 31.5±5.7%). Urinary 3-methyl-histidine (3-met-HIS) excretion and plasma essential free amino acids did not differ in the two groups. In response to haemodialysis no consistent change occurred in urinary excretion of 3-met-HIS, peptide-bound HYP, total GAG or percentage distribution of individual GAG fractions. After haemodialysis all plasma amino acids decreased significantly, and there was a significant increase in urinary excretion of free HYP (P<0.05). We conclude that the alterations in urinary excretion of total and individual GAGs observed in CRF may reflect disturbed connective tissue metabolism which does not appear to be accounted for by protein malnutrition or enhanced protein breakdown and remains uninfluenced by haemodialysis therapy.
