儿童原发性夜间遗尿症生理心理治疗的疗效及随访评估

目的应用生理心理治疗观察儿童原发性夜间遗尿症(PNE)的临床远期疗效,并探讨其治疗机制。方法对2004年9月至2006年1月在上海交通大学医学院附属上海儿童医学中心发育行为儿科应用生理心理治疗PNE患儿的资料进行回顾性分析,治疗中2周随访1次(随访观察6个月),治疗结束后1个月随访1次,家长每日记录患儿遗尿频率和夜间自行起床排尿次数。B超测定治疗前和治疗结束时最大憋尿状态下的膀胱容量。统计分析生理心理治疗的远期疗效,遗尿频率、膀胱容量以及夜间自行起床排尿次数的变化情况,采用Logistic回归分析影响生理心理治疗远期疗效的危险因素。结果研究期间应用生理心理治疗的68例PNE患儿远期疗效为:治愈43例(63.2%),显效18例(26.5%),部分有效5例(7.4%),无效2例(2.9%)。治疗前平均遗尿频率为每周(6.12±1.32)次,停止治疗6个月后遗尿频率为每周(1.23±0.18)次(t=2.65,P=0.011)。治疗前平均夜间自行起床排尿次数为每周(0.72±0.15)次,停止治疗6个月后平均夜间自行起床排尿次数为每周(6.83±1.16)次(t=2.25,P=0.026)。治疗前患儿平均膀胱容量/...     

Prestimulation-Induced Startle Modulation in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Nocturnal Enuresis

Startle modulation was induced by prestimulation in 43, 6-11 year old boys with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), 13 of whom were or had been enuretic, 17 age-matched enuretic boys, and 42 age-matched normal boys, using 60-ms and 120-ms prestimulation intervals and a 4000-ms continuous tone. There was a significant multivariate effect of enuresis on startle amplitude modulation. This effect was attributed primarily to the reduction of amplitude inhibition following the 120-ms prestimulation interval regardless of whether or not enuresis was associated with ADHD. There was no effect of ADHD on startle modulation by prestimulation. The inhibition following the 120-ms prestimulation interval in the enuretic boys was reduced to the level of 5-year-old normal children, suggesting a maturational component of the deficient startle inhibition. The neurophysiologic dysfunction underlying the deficient startle inhibition in enuresis, but not ADHD, is discussed in terms of a possible dysfunction of mesopontine reticular mechanisms mediating preattentive processing of signals associated with spinal reflexes involved in urinary bladder control.     

Clinical observation of 82 cases of enuresis treated by ginger-partitioned moxibustion plus cupping therapy

Purpose: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect in the treatment of enuresis by ginger-partitioned moxibustion plus cupping therapy.Methods: Ginger-partitioned moxibustion was applied on Guanyuan (CV 4) and bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) and cupping therapy was applied on Shenque (CV 8) in the treatment of 82 cases of enuresis, in comparison with 76 cases treated by Chinese herbal medicine.Results: The effective rate was 84.1% in the treatment by ginger-partitioned moxibustion plus cupping therapy and was 64.5% in the treatment by Chinese herbal medicine.Conclusion: Ginger-partitioned moxibustion plus cupping therapy was better than Chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of enuresis (P<0.05).

Relationship between enuresis and obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome in children

ObjectiveWe explored the relationship between enuresis and obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in children and influencing factors of enuresis with OSAHS.MethodsWe recruited 196 children ≥5 years old from the otolaryngology outpatient department, who experienced snoring and underwent nasopharynx lateral radiography and in-laboratory polysomnography. We analyzed correlations between the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) and lowest oxygen saturation (L-SaO2) with age, body mass index (BMI), tonsil size, and adenoidal–nasopharyngeal (A/N) ratio using the Pearson correlation test. Differences in severe OSAHS prevalence, age, AHI, L-SaO2, tonsil size, and A/N ratio between children with and without enuresis were assessed using the chi-square test and t-test. Risk factors of enuresis were analyzed using logistic regression. Follow-up was conducted to assess remission in children with enuresis after adenotonsillectomy.ResultsBMI, tonsil size, and A/N ratio were correlated with AHI and L-SaO2. Severe OSAHS prevalence, AHI, tonsil size, and A/N ratio were higher and L-SaO2 were lower in children with enuresis. Logistic regression showed that BMI, AHI, tonsil size, and sleep apnea were risk factors for enuresis.ConclusionsOur study findings showed that enuresis was associated with OSAHS in children. Adenotonsillectomy may improve the symptoms of enuresis.

Enuresis in hyperthyroidism: a temporary lack of central control mechanism leads to nocturnal enuresis

We report on a 9-year-old boy who suffered from hyperthyroidism and a new appearance of enuresis. Bedwetting ceased and prepulse inhibition (PPI) – measured as a parameter of central control – increased during the course of therapy.
Conclusion:  The increase in PPI is an indication that enuresis in hyperthyroidism could be as a result of a temporary loss of central control on brainstem reflexes. The case conveys new insights into the correlation between thyroid hormones and micturition patterns and the aetiology of enuresis.

Discrete regions in the laterodorsal tegmental area of the rat regulating the urinary bladder and external urethral sphincter

In urethane anesthetized rats, the laterodorsal tegmental area was stimulated systematically with a carbon fiber electrode to clarify regions regulating the urinary bladder and/or the external urethral sphincter. Contraction of the former was monitored by bladder pressure and that of the latter by electromyogram. Stimulation of a small area around the ventrolateral edge of the central gray in a plane at the junction of the mesencephalon and pons, where cholinergic neurons in the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus formed the largest mass, induced contraction only of the bladder. Arranged in tandem rostrocaudally with this bladder site, a very small area whose stimulation induced contraction only of the sphincter was found also at the ventrolateral edge of the central gray in a plane slightly caudal to the above. Slightly lateral and caudal to this sphincter site, there were sites the stimulation of which induced contraction of both the bladder and sphincter. It was thus shown physiologically that there were discrete sites in the laterodorsal tegmental area regulating the bladder and sphincter independently.     

Enuresis: Current concepts

Incontinence disorders are an important group of problems that clinicians manage in children and adolescents. This paper reviews the physiology of micturition, the epidemiology of enuresis, etiologic concepts of incontinence disorders, a general clinical approach to enuretic patients, laboratory evaluation and general principles of management. Neurological and nephrological concepts of enuresis are emphasized in this discussion.
