Long-term effect of estradiol implants on the female urinary tract during the climacteric

The incidence of lower urinary tract dysfunction increases during the climacteric, and there is embryological, biochemical and epidemiologic evidence to suggest that depleted estrogen status is at least partially responsible. Twelve climacteric women underwent full assessment before and 1 year after treatment with a 50 mg subcutaneous estradiol implant +5 mg norethisterone for 7 days per month. Assessment consisted of a symptoms questionnaire, midstream urine sample, uroflowmetry, videocystourethrography with pressure flow studies, and urethral pressure profilometry. Subjectively, only the symptom of nocturia significantly improved. There was no change in flow variables but there was a significant decrease in residual urine and the degree of bladder base descent. Cystometric capacity was slightly but significantly decreased, and two patients developed genuine stress incontinence whilst on treatment. Nonetheless, there was a significant improvement in urethral pressures at rest but not under stress. This effect was predominantly in the proximal urethra. These data do not support the contention that estrogen replacement therapy is beneficial for lower urinary tract dysfunction during the climacteric.     

女性膀胱颈部梗阻的诊断与治疗

为探讨女性膀胱颈部梗阻的病因、诊断及治疗方法。总结１９８１年５月～１９９６年６月收治女性膀胱颈部梗阻病例３２例。２９例经手术治疗，其中２例行膀胱颈ＹＶ成形术，２７例经尿道膀胱颈部后唇切除术，效果满意。结果认为，女性膀胱颈部梗阻病因为纤维组织增生和慢性炎症所致；尿流率检查是客观评价排尿状况的指标；膀胱镜检查为可靠的诊断手段；经尿道膀胱颈部后唇切除为有效的治疗方法。     

辣椒素对慢性脊髓损伤大鼠排尿功能的影响

目的：明确辣椒素对正常大鼠和慢性脊髓损伤(SCI)大鼠排尿功能的影响和作用的可能机制。方法：建立SCI的动物模型，实验大鼠和正常大鼠分别全身给药或膀胱内灌注辣椒素，记录膀胱内压力变化图(CMG)和尿道外括约肌肌电图(EUS-EMG)的改变。结果：正常大鼠辣椒素全身用药后出现非排尿性膀胱收缩，排尿效率下降，但排尿压不受影响。膀胱内灌注辣椒素亦会导致排尿效率降低而不影响排尿压。SCI大鼠全身用药后非排尿性膀胱收缩消失，残余尿量减少，排尿压下降，但排尿效率提高，膀胱内用药则可完全阻断排尿反射。结论：对辣椒素敏感的膀胱感觉传入神经参与正常大鼠和SCI大鼠的排尿反射。对正常大鼠起稳定膀胱逼尿肌的作用，而对SCI大鼠则是引起膀胱灌注时非排尿性收缩的原因，因此，阻滞感觉传入神经纤维是治疗SCI后膀胱高反射的有效方法。     

维汉族BPH患者前列腺形态与尿流动力学的相关性

目的 探讨维汉民族前列腺增生患前列腺的体积、症状积分和膀胱排尿症状的相关性。方法 对71例住院手术的维汉不同民族前列腺增生症(BPH)患进行国际前列腺症状评分(BPSS)，生活质量评分(L)，前列腺体积(V)，重量(M)，患年龄(age)，尿流动力学指标的直线相关分析。结果 40例汉族及31例维族BPH患的前列腺体积与膀胱颈压，膀胱颈压与膀胱顺应性，最大尿流率与膀胱顺应性均呈正相关。结论 最大尿流率、前列腺体积、膀胱顺应性、膀胱颈压四个参数不但能了解膀胱排尿功能和形态改变，也可做为临床上手术切除增生前列腺组织，解除梗阻，缓解症状，评价治疗效果的指标。     

Urethral closure function in women with prolapse

In 19 patients with different types of severe descensus, all without clinical evidence of stress incontinence, urethral stress pressure profiles and stress tests were done before and after repositioning of the prolapse. In 13 of the 19 patients, continence was artificial, because during repositioning they showed leakage of urine; however, 6 of the patients remained continent. The pressure transmission ratios decreased in different parts of the urethra in all the patients when repositioning with a gynecological speculum was done. The drop was most significant in those patients who lost urine after repositioning, showing poor urethral function. In women with genito-urinary prolapse, a test of urethral function is essential, even if there is no clinical evidence of incontinence after removal of the descensus. In cases of severe stress incontinence under this condition, a procedure for bladder neck stabilization should be added to routine prolapse surgery.     

Schafer列线图在良性前列腺增生术前评价中的应用

目的 :研究Schafer列线图在确定前列腺手术适应证中的作用。方法 :对 45例前列腺增生症 (BPH)患者进行了压力 -流率测定 ,经Schafer列线图和线性被动尿道阻力关系 (Lin -PURR)定量分析BPH患者膀胱出口梗阻 (BOO)程度和逼尿肌收缩强度。结果 :本组患者无BOO和轻度BOO者为 2 0 .0 % ,逼尿肌收缩强度很弱者为 8.9% ,不适合前列腺手术者为 2 8.8%。结论 :对BPH患者术前作出准确的评价 ,在前列腺治疗的方法选择方面有十分重要的意义     

Urethro-vesical function during spinal shock

Summary Twenty spinal shock patients were investigated with simultaneous urethrovesical, anal and rectal pressure recordings and EMG of the external urethral and anal sphincters. Dynamic and static urethral pressure profiles (UPP) were carried out with empty and full bladder. Baldder filling was accompanied by an increased resistance in the internal sphincter zone, which in turn was paralleled in the majority of cases by an elevation of pressure in the membranous urethra without concomitant increase of its EMG activity. This is suggestive of an increased sympathetic activity in the bladder neck area and in the smooth muscle component of the external urethral sphincter. Dynamic pullthrough UPP's displayed higher resistances in the membranous urethra than static interrupted UPP's pointing to the role played by the urethral muscosal receptors in eliciting artefactual results. Higher pressures were recorded in the juxtabulbar portion of the membranous urethra than in its mid portion pointing to a gradient of pressure within the external urethral sphincter itself. The amount of EMG activity recorded in the anal and urethral sphincters at rest was somewhat decreased; high pressures and distinct reflex activity were recorded in both sphincters showing that they escape spinal shock characterized primarily by areflexia. After defining spinal shock a rational explanation based upon neuroanatomical and neurophysiological findings is offered as to why somatic activity of the sacral segments escapes it as evidenced by clincial, urodynamic, and electromyographic recordings.
