Vaginal topography does not correlate well with visceral position in women with pelvic organ prolapse

The objective was to determine whether vaginal topography accurately predicts the location of the pelvic viscera on fluoroscopy in women with pelvic organ prolapse. Eighty-nine women undergoing preoperative evaluation for reconstructive pelvic surgery at a tertiary care referral practice formed the study population. Each woman completed a comprehensive urogynecologic history and physical examination, which included a quantified (POP-Q) assessment of her vaginal topography, as described by Bump et al. In addition each woman underwent pelvic floor fluoroscopy (PFF). Visceral sites were selected which corresponded clinically to the vaginal sites measured by the POP-Q. The most dependent portion of the bladder, small intestine, rectum and urethrovesical junction was measured. Twenty-five (28%) women had stage II prolapse, 34 (38%) had stage III prolapse, and 28 (32%) had stage IV prolapse. The remaining 2 women were symptomatic, with stage I prolapse. For the entire study population there was no correlation between the fluoroscopic position of the small bowel and/or rectum and any apical or posterior wall POP-Q site (C, Ap or Bp). There was no correlation with the fluoroscopic position of the UVJ at rest or with straining and the corresponding POP-Q site (Aa). The fluoroscopic position of the most dependent portion of the bladder correlated only modestly with the upper (Ba,ρ=0.51) and lower Aa,ρ=0.68) anterior vaginal wall POP-Q sites. In women without prior surgery (n=33) there was only modest correlation between the fluoroscopic position of the bladder and the corresponding POP-Q site (Aa,ρ=0.71). In this unoperated subpopulation there was no correlation with PFF and any other POP-Q site. In women who had undergone prior hysterectomy (n=25) or hysterectomy with anterior and/or posterior colporrhaphy (n=17), there was only a modest correlation of the most dependent portion of the bladder and the upper anterior vaginal wall site (Bb,ρ=0.67 andρ=0.55, respectively). It was concluded that vaginal topography does not reliably predict the position of the associated viscera on PFF in women with primary or recurrent pelvic organ prolapse. EDITORIAL COMMENT: The authors seek to evaluate whether physical examination of vaginal prolapse using the POP-Q test correlates with fluoroscopic findings of visceral position. Surprisingly, little correlation is found, even in previously unoperated patients. One reason for this lack of correlation between the two modalities of evaluation may lie in the use of two different fixed points of reference: the POP-Q examination uses the hymen as the fixed point of reference, whereas the investigators chose to use the posterior edge of the femur as a fixed bony point of reference when evaluating pelvic floor fluoroscopy in the same patient. The lack of correlation between visual inspection of vaginal wall prolapse and what lies deep to that prolapse should not be used to invalidate the use of the POP-Q as a means to evaluate pelvic prolapse. Rather, the findings support the premise behind the ICS/AUGS/SGS committee on pelvic organ prolapse, specifically that clinical pelvic examination of the vaginal walls looks at surfaces only, and as such cannot determine what, if any, organ lies deep to that surface.

C-terminal tail of β-adrenergic receptors: immunocytochemical localization within astrocytes and their relation to catecholaminergic neurons in N. tractus solitarii and area postrema

β-Adrenergic receptors (βAR) in the medial nuclei of tractus solitarii (m-NTS) and area postrema (AP) may bind to catecholamines released from neurons, whereas only the AP has fenestrated capillaries allowing access to circulating catecholamines. Since varied autonomic responses are seen following βAR activation of the dorsal vagal complex, including the m-NTS and AP, we hypothesized that there might be a cellular basis for varied responses to βAR stimulation that depends pn the differential access to circulating catecholamines. Therefore, we comparatively examined the ultrastructural localization of the βAR in relation to catecholaminergic neurons in these regions. An antibody directed against the C-terminal tail (amino acids 404–418) of hamster β-adrenergic receptor (βAR404) was used in this study. The localization of βAR404 was achieved by the avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (ABC) technique in combination with a pre-embed immunogold labeling method to localize tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the catecholamine-synthesizing enzyme. Within m-NTS and at subpostremal border, labeling for βAR404 was evident along the intracellular surface of plasma membranes of small, apparently distal, astrocytic processes. Astrocytic processes with βAR404-immunoreactivity formed multiple, thin lamellae around TH-labeled and non-TH neuronal cell bodies and dendrites. βAR404-immunoreactive astrocytes also extended end-feet around blood vessels and surrounded groups of axon terminals that were directly juxtaposed to each other. Some, but not all, of these axons demonstrated TH-immunoreactivity. Fewer βAR404-immunoreactive astrocytes were detected in AP, regardless of their proximity to catecholaminergic processes or blood vessels. The present astrocytic localization of βAR404, together with the earlier, neuronal localization of βAR's third intracellular loop, suggest that the βAR may be substantially different between neurons and astrocytes. The regional difference in the prevalence of βAR404-immunoreactive astrocytes suggests that these receptive sites may either: (i) be preferentially activated by catecholamines released from terminals rather than circulating catecholamines; or (ii) be down-regulated in AP due to blood-born substances, such as catecholamines. The extensive localization of βAR in the border between m-NTS and AP also suggests that catecholaminergic activation of these astrocytes may dictate the degree of diffusion of catecholamines which are of neuronal or vascular origin. The specific localization of βAR404-immunoreactivity to the more distal portions of astrocytes suggests the possibility that astrocytes have restrictive distributions of βAR and that the β-adrenergic activation lead to morphological or chemical changes that are also localized to the distal portions of astrocytes. Additionally, the detection of βAR404 in astrocytes contacting non-TH-immunoreactive neurons suggests the possibility for catecholaminergic modulation of non-catecholaminergic neurons via the activation of astrocytes.

Glutamine and Other Amino Acid Losses During Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration

Abstract: Serum amino grams and daily losses of glutamine (Gin) and other amino acids (AAs) into diafiltrate were measured during the first 5 days of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) in 6 ICU patients with acute renal failure (ARF). Four patients had ARF as a part of multiple organ failure (MOF) of septic origin, and 2 patients had isolated ARF because of primary renal disease. During the study, all the patients received defined total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The mean daily AA losses into dialysate were relatively low (0.61 ± 0.1 g N ) and reached 4.5% of the daily AA substitution. Gln represented 32.7 ± 5.9% of the total AA losses (0.19 ± 0.04 g N ). Serum levels of Gin (p = 0.002) and of most other AAs were significantly lower in the patients than in the control subjects (AA analysis in 16 healthy volunteers). Phenylalanine (Phe) was the only AA that was increased significantly (p < 0.01) in the patients. The mean patient serum concentrations of Phe and tyrosine were significantly higher (p < 0.03) than the correspondent concentrations in dialysate, but the lysine concentration was higher in dialysate (p < 0.03). The serum and dialysate concentrations of other AAs did not differ. Gin in serum decreased significantly (p < 0.03) on the second day of CVVHDF but returned to the baseline levels subsequently. Serum concentrations of Phe increased on the second day of CVVHDF (p < 0.05). Serum concentrations of other AAs remained stable during the whole study. We conclude that Gin losses into dialysate during CVVHDF are relatively low, but CVVHDF itself may induce changes in Gin metabolism and distribution that are reflected by a decrease of serum Gin levels at the institution of this treatment. Therefore, the need for Gin supplementation in ICU patients is even greater in the first days of CVVHDF.
