ABSTRACT

A cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the age-stratified normal levels and age-related changes in the risk predictors of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) progression. A total of 4706 male participants aged 40 years or older in Zhengzhou (China) were enrolled. The values of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume (PV), and postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) significantly increased with age. Nonlinear relationships between age and IPSS scores ≥8 (P for nonlinearity = 0.046), PSA level ≥1.6 ng ml-1, PV ≥31 ml, or PVR ≥39 ml (all P for nonlinearity <0.001) were observed. After the age of 61 years, the risk indicators related to BPH progression were positively correlated with age (odds ratio [OR] >1), regardless of the predictors of the IPSS score, PSA level, PV, or PVR; and the OR values increased gradually. Therefore, after the age of 61 years, the risk predictors related to BPH progression were positively correlated with age.

ABSTRACT

Evaluating bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in patients with prostatic enlargement may reflect the severity of the disease and aid in predicting the treatment outcome. Objectives: To determine the sonological correlation between intravesical prostatic protrusion and bladder outlet obstruction in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic enlargement. Methods: This prospective study was conducted over one year at the Department of Radiology, University College Hospital, Ibadan. A transabdominal ultrasound scan of the urinary bladder and prostate gland was carried out on patients with prostatic enlargement and BOO. The intravesical prostatic protrusion, pre-and post-void urine volumes, prostate volume and bladder wall thickness were measured. Results: A total of 132 men aged 43 to 90 years (mean age: 63.8±8.64 years) were studied. The median size of the intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) was 7.25 mm (IQR: 0.00 mm; 14.9 mm). The mean prostate volume was 63.3ml±36.0ml. Most subjects (55; 41.7%) had a prostate volume above 60ml, and most patients (101, 77.2%) had bladder wall thickness less than 5mm. The mean bladder wall thickness was 4.26mm±1.54mm. There was a statistically significant correlation between IPP and pre-void urine volume and prostate volume (p = 0.002 and <0.001, respectively). Patients over 70 years had increasing IPP and post-void urine, which lacked statistical significance (p =0.15). Conclusion: The severity of bladder outlet obstruction was reflected in the pre-void urine volume, which correlated with the size of IPP

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of intravesical electrical stimulation (IVES) combined with a training for bladder motor and sensory dysfunction in the treatment of neurogenic underactive bladder(UAB).Methods:A prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial was used to study neurogenic UAB patients admitted to the China Rehabilitation Research Center from October 2019 to May 2021. Inclusive criteria included age≥18 years old, the patients who have been diagnosed as neurogenic UAB and the course of disease being more than 3 months; patients who have been undergone intermittent catheterization to empty the bladder or patients indicated for intermittent catheterization (post-void residual urine accounts for more than 40% of the functional bladder volume), voluntary signing of written informed consent, able to communicate well with researchers and comply with the requirements of the whole trial, and the patient not undergoing any treatment other than oral medication before IVES. Exclusion criteria included patients with low bladder compliance by urodynamic examination(<20 ml/cmH 2O), patients with mechanical outflow obstruction, patients with complete spinal cord injury, the patients with symptomatic urinary tract infection which was not cured, patients with hydronephrosis or bladder-ureteral reflux, patients with renal insufficiency(serum creatinine greater than 1.5 times of the upper limit of normality), patients with malignant tumors of the bladder or prostate, overactive bladder, Alzheimer's disease, brain atrophy, acute cerebrovascular disease, or cognitive impairment, patients who were pregnant or planning to be pregnant, bladder mucosa injury, patients with pacemakers or defibrillators, those who participated in other clinical trials 3 months before the study, and other circumstances that the researcher consider it is not suitable to be involved in this study. The patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to the ratio of 1∶1. The experimental group used conventional transurethral insertion of bipolar catheter electrodes for IVES combined with bladder motor and sensory dysfunction training, and the control group underwent IVES with open circuit combined with bladder motor and sensory dysfunction training. The stimulation parameters of the two groups were two-way square wave, 1-30 mA intensity, 10-20 Hz frequency, 200 μs pulse width, once a day, lasting 30 minutes for each treatment, and for continuous 20 working days. The post-void residual urine, voiding efficiency, 24-hour intermittent catheterization times, first sensation of bladder filling volume and American Urological Association Symptom Index Quality of Life(AUA-SI-QOL) scores were recorded before and at the end of treatment. The adverse events during the treatment were recorded. Results:Fifty-two patients were selected and 50 patients completed the trial, including 26 patients in the experimental group and 24 patients in the control group. Before treatment, there were no significant differences in gender[16(male)/10(female)vs.13(male)/11(female), P=0.598], age [(40.7±13.5)years vs.(38.5±12.3)years, P=0.543], course of disease[0.71(0.42, 1.63)years vs.0.79(0.42, 1.50)years, P=0.695], post-void residual urine[300(193, 400)ml vs.325(178, 380)ml, P=0.724], voiding efficiency[17%(0, 47.8)% vs.21%(0, 38.0)%, P=0.960], 24-hour intermittent catheterization times[4(2, 4)vs.3(2, 4), P=0.692], first sensation volume during bladder filling[(325.8±74.3)ml vs.(307.5±75.0)ml, P=0.391] or AUA-SI-QOL scores[5(4, 5)vs.4(4, 5), P=0.313] between the experimental group and the control group. At the end of treatment, the post-void residual urine, first sensation volume during bladder filling and AUA-SI-QOL scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group [250(40, 350)ml vs.300(200, 390)ml, P=0.034; (276.5±68.8)ml vs.(315.4±67.3)ml, P=0.049; 4(2, 4)vs.4(3, 5), P=0.024], and the voiding efficiency was significantly higher than that of the control group[33%(14.5, 84.5)% vs.18%(0, 35.8)%, P=0.041], but there was no significant difference in the number of 24-hour intermittent catheterization between the two groups [3(1, 4)vs.3(2, 4), P=0.174]. In the control group, there were no significant changes in post-void residual urine, voiding efficiency, 24-hour intermittent catheterization times, first sensation volume during bladder filling and AUA-SI-QOL scores before and after treatment [325(178, 380)ml vs.300(200, 390)ml, P=0.832; 21%(0, 38.0)% vs.18%(0, 35.8)%, P=0.943; 3(2, 4)vs.3(2, 4), P=0.239; (307.5±75.0)ml vs.(315.4±67.3)ml, P=0.257; 4(4, 5)vs.4(3, 5), P=0.157]. In the experimental group, there were significant improvements in post-void residual urine, voiding efficiency, 24-hour intermittent catheterization times, first sensation volume during bladder filling and AUA-SI-QOL scores before and after treatment [300(193, 400)ml vs.250(40, 350)ml, P<0.001; 17%(0, 47.8)% vs.33%(14.5, 84.5)%, P<0.001; 4(2, 4)vs.3(1, 4), P=0.011; (325.8±74.3)ml vs.(276.5±68.8)ml, P<0.001; 5(4, 5)vs.4(2, 4), P<0.001]. During the treatment period, 1 case of abdominal discomfort occurred in the experimental group and 1 case of urethral discomfort in the control group. After adjusting the stimulation intensity and catheter position, the discomfort disappeared without other serious adverse events. Conclusions:IVES combined with bladder motor sensory dysfunction training can not only effectively improve the bladder emptying efficiency and bladder sensation in patients with neurogenic UAB, but also be safe and easy to operate.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of post-void residual (PVR) urine volume measurements in patients with moderate bladder outlet obstruction. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted between January and December 2019. The inclusion criteria were male patients with symptoms of moderate bladder outlet obstruction. On the other hand, patients with a history of diabetes, symptoms of urinary tract infection, and positive urine for pyuria, as well as patients using medications, such as diuretics, alpha-blockers, and anticholinergic drugs, were excluded. The patients were asked to drink 1000 mL of water one to two hours before the initial ultrasound scan. Pre-void bladder capacity was measured, followed by a post-void ultrasound for residual urine volume measurement at three intervals: immediately after voiding, 15-20 minutes after the first void, and one week later with an empty bladder. Assessment of per-void capacity was carried out, based on the patient's subjective sensation of bladder fullness (a strong desire to void). Results: A total of 78 male patients, with the mean age of 60 years, were included in this study (27 cases in group I; 37 cases in group II; and 14 cases in group III). The mean PVR volume was 92 mL in the first measurement, 62 mL in the second measurement, and 60 mL in the third measurement. Significant differences were found between the first and second PVR measurements and between the first and third PVR measurements (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the second and third PVR measurements (P=0.107). On the other hand, significant differences were found between groups I and II and between groups I and III (P<0.05) in the three PVR measurements. Nevertheless, there was no significant difference between groups II and III in the three PVR measurements (P=0.204, 0.56, and 0.487 for the first, second, and third PVR measurements, respectively). Conclusion: A bladder ultrasound must be performed and interpreted carefully to avoid further unnecessary medications, investigations, or procedures. We recommend a second PVR measurement in patients with bladder outlet obstruction. Also, it is suggested to conduct similar studies in different conditions to confirm our findings.

ABSTRACT

Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of alpha-1A receptor subtype specific antagonist-tamsulosin in benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods: An open label, non-randomised, prospective, single centred study who were visiting urology department with confirmed diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were included in the study. Thirty patients with BPH were prescribed tamsulosin and were followed up to three months. The initial or baseline data collected were identification of the patients such as international prostate symptom score (IPSS), prostate specific antigen, urine analysis, and ultrasonography of prostate including post void residual urine. The patients were followed up to 3 months to measure clinical and laboratory outcomes (IPSS score, post void residual urine, uroflow rates etc.).Results: In our study, patients receiving tamsulosin 0.4 mg once daily showed a significant improvement in post-void residual urine (PVRU), uroflow rates and IPSS score. The improvements in the above parameters were found to be statistically insignificant at first and third month of follow-up.Conclusions: In our study, tamsulosin an alpha-1A receptor subtype specific antagonist showed significant improvement in BPH symptoms and the drug was well tolerated.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the effect of sensitive "trigger point" stimulation combined with idea training on the recovery of automatic micturition function in patients with dysuria after early stroke. Methods: Fifty-two patients with indwelling catheter after stroke met inclusion and exclusion criteria and admitted to the Rehabilitation Medical Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2016 to April 2018 were enrolled prospectively. They were randomly divided into control group and treatment group according to the random number table (n = 26 each group). The control group was treated with clean intermittent catheterization after bladder function assessment. The observation group determined the sensitive "trigger point" by bladder pressure monitoring,carried out precise stimulation,and combined with the idea urination training,observed the recovery of automatic micturition and residual urine volume in the two groups at three and seven d of treatment. Results: (1) At three days of treatment, the observation group resumed automatic micturition with residual urine volume ≤50 ml,and the patients who resumed automatic micturition but had residual urine volume > 50 ml and the numbers of urinary retention were 15,10, and 1, respectively, and the control group was 6, 15, and 5, respectively. At seven days of treatment, the observation group resumed automatic micturition with residual urine volume ≤ 50 ml, but residual urine volume > 50 ml, and the numbers of urinary retention were 21,4, and 1, respectively, and the control group was 13,9 and 4,respectively. At three and seven days of treatment,the urination disorder in the observation group was significantly improved compared with the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 6. 47 and 5. 44 respectively, all P 50ml was lower than that of the control group (88 ±21 ml vs. 120 ± 47 ml,73 ±29 ml vs. 107 ± 42ml;t=2.233 and 2. 286, respectively, P = 0. 039 and 0.033 respectively). Conclusion: "Trigger point" stimulation induction combined with idea micturition training may promote the recovery of automatic micturition in patients with early stroke micturition disorder,and effectively reduce residual urine volume.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus pelvic floor biofeedback treatment for the neurogenic bladder following spinal cord injury.Method Ninety patients with neurogenic bladder following spinal cord injury were randomly allocated to acupuncture, biofeedback and combination groups, 30 cases each. Every group of patients received acupuncture, pelvic floor biofeedback treatment or a combination of two treatments in addition to conventional bladder rehabilitation training. The LUTS score and the quality of life score were recorded and the bladder diary was kept before and after treatment. A statistical analysis was carried out.Result The LUTS score, the quality of life score, the residual urine volume and the mean voiding frequency decreased significantly in the three groups of patients after four weeks of treatment compared with before treatment (P<0.05) and decreased more significantly in the combination group than in the acupuncture and biofeedback groups (P<0.05). Maximum voided volume increased significantly in the three groups of patients after treatment compared with before (P<0.05) and increased more significantly in the combination group than in the other two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus pelvic floor biofeedback can significantly improve bladder function and the quality of life in patients with neurogenic bladder following spinal cord injury. Its clinical therapeutic effect is superior to that of acupuncture or biofeedback.

ABSTRACT

La enuresis primaria monosintomática es un problema clínico común que afecta del 5 al 10% de los niños en edad escolar. La etiología exacta no se conoce, pero se ha propuesto una capacidad vesical funcional disminuida como factor predisponente. Existen pocos reportes en la literatura del uso de ultrasonido para su evaluación. Objetivo: Determinar si la capacidad vesical funcional medida por ultrasonido está disminuida en enuresis primaria monosintomática comparada con población sana. Pacientes y Método: Estudio trasversal analítico de febrero de 2014 a mayo de 2015 incluyendo 40 pacientes con enuresis y 40 sin enuresis, 5 a 15 años de edad, midiendo la capacidad vesical funcional mediante ecógrafo Siemens Acuson S2000TM con transductor 3,5 y 5 MHz por un solo operador cegado. Se realizó estadística descriptiva y analítica mediante el programa IBM SPSS 20 TM. Resultados: Los pacientes con enuresis presentaron menor capacidad vesical funcional 171,7 ml vs controles 225,5 ml (p = 0,025). Resultó factor de riesgo OR = 2,81 (IC 95%: 1,06-7,42) tener un familiar de primera línea con antecedente de enuresis y OR = 4,0 (IC 95%: 1,48-10,78) para segunda línea. La capacidad vesical funcional presentó correlación débil con la capacidad vesical normal estimada mediante la fórmula de Kaefer. Conclusión: La capacidad vesical funcional es menor en quien padece enuresis que en los que no la padecen y existe poca correlación con las fórmulas que determinan la capacidad vesical normal esperada como la de Kaefer. Se reafirmó que el antecedente hereditario de enuresis juega un papel importante como factor de riesgo.


Nocturnal enuresis is a common clinical problem affecting 5% to 10% of school-age children. Etiology is not known but a diminished functional bladder capacity it has been proposed as a predisposing factor. There exist only a few studies evaluating it by ultrasound. Objective: To identify if there is a difference of the functional bladder capacity measured by ultrasound between nocturnal enuresis group and healthy children. Patients and Method: A cross-sectional study from February 2014 to May 2015 including two groups, nocturnal enuresis and a control group of 40 patients each, 5 to 15 years old. A single blinded operator measured the functional bladder capacity by ultrasound with an Acuson S2000 SiemensTM 3.5 and 5 MHz transducer. Analytics and descriptive statistics were performed using IBM SPSS 20TM software. Results: Patients with enuresis showed a decreased functional bladder capacity vs. controls (171.7 ml vs 225.5 ml; p = 0.025). A history of first-degree relative with enuresis increased the risk of having enuresis OR = 2.81 (95% CI: 1.06-7.42), a second-degree relative presented OR = 4.0 (95% CI: 1.48-10.78). Functional bladder capacity presented a weak correlation with the bladder capacity estimated by Kaefer’s formula. Conclusion: The functional bladder capacity is lower in the patients with nocturnal enuresis when compared to control group. There is little correlation between functional bladder capacity and Kaefer’s formula to determine the normal bladder capacity. We reaffirmed that the family history with enuresis strongly increases the risk of developing nocturnal enuresis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of fire-needle acupuncture in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Method Sixty subjects were randomized into two groups by using the sealed envelope method. The control group was intervened by conventional medications; after classified into four syndrome types, down diffusion of damp-heat, liver qi stagnation, turbid stagnation and kidney qi deficiency, the treatment group was majorly treated with fire-needle acupuncture in addition to filiform-needle acupuncture. Fire-needle acupuncture was performed at Guanyuan (CV4), Qugu (CV2) and bilateral Dahe (KI12), once a week, for continuous 6 months; the filiform-needle acupuncture was majorly at Baihui (GV20) and Qihai (CV6) with adjunctive points modified according to different syndromes, twice a week, 8 sessions as a treatment course, for 5 courses in total. Result The improved rate was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05);the residual urine volume was significantly changed after the intervention in both groups (P<0.01), and the decrease in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Fire-needle acupuncture can improve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower the residual urine volume.

ABSTRACT

Background: Post Void Residual Urine (PVR) is a key marker for the evaluation of the efficacy of bladder emptying particularly in women with pelvic organ prolapse and lower urinary tract dysfunction. Objectives of the present study were to compare pre and postoperative post void residual urine volume and to know the relation of PVR to urinary symptoms and prolapse. Methods: 65 patients admitted with urogenital prolapse. Detailed history, general physical examination was done as per predesigned and pretested proforma. Grading for prolapse was done by POP-Q, Baden walker halfway. PVR was measured before and after operation Results: Age has shown significant relation with the raised PVR > 50 ml (p=0.007). Out of 65 cases, 11 had second, 48 had third degree and 6 had procedentia according to Baden Walker system. Urge and stress incontinence were complained by 43% and 26% of patients respectively and increased frequency and nocturia was complained by 68% and 65% of patients. Storage symptoms were not significantly associated with degree of prolapse or raised PVR. Straining to void, incomplete emptying and has to reduce to void were present in 42, 46 and 47 patients respectively and showed significant association with degree of prolapse. Except incomplete emptying other two were associated with raised PVR. Conclusion: Vaginal hysterectomy with anterior colporrhaphy was effective procedure in reducing elevated PVR in prolapse patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study interdialytic body weight gain(IBWG)in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients,and to analyze the associated factors. Methods A total of 269 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.The patients were divided into two groups according to the percentage of IBWG(PIBWG:interdialytic body weight gain/dry weight×100%):PIBWG>3.50%(190 cases)and PIBWG≤3.50%(79 cases).Associated factors of IBWG were analyzed. Results The average IBWG of 269 MHD patients was(2.42±1.01)kg(0-6.33 kg),and PIBWG was(4.25±1.79)%.In male patients,IBWG was (2.45±1.09)kg,and PIBWG was(3.99±1.79)%.In female patients,IBWG was(2.39±0.85)kg,and PIBWG was(4.64±1.74)%which was significantly higher compared to males(P<0.01).Patients with PIBWG<3.00%accounted for 20%,with PIBWG≥3.00%to<5.00%accounted for 50%,with PIBWG≥5.00%accounted for 30%.Compared to patients with PIBWG>3.50%,those with PIBWG≤3.50%were characterized by elder age(year)(60.50 ±14.49 vs 54.07±13.78),more males(70.88%vs 54.74%),shorter dialysis duration(month)(41.03±41.92 vs 58.83±43.57),larger BMI(kg/m2)(22.67±3.36 vs 20.91±3.25)and less dry weight(kg)(56.69±10.94 vs 62.82±10.97),more residual urine(ml,In)(6.19±0.94 vs 5.48±0.8),lower predialysis serum β2MG(mmol/L)(31.61±9.82 vs 38.54±10.38)and phosphorus(mmol/L)(1.92±0.66 vs 2.15±0.58).Correlation analysis revealed that PIBWG was positively correlated with dialysis duration,Scr,BUN,β2-MG,phosphorus,decrease and decrease percentage of BP during hemodialysis,and negatively correlated with age,dry weight,BMI,residual urine,and pre-dialysis SBP,MAP. Conclusions PIBWG of about 70%of our patients was below 5%.Young.female.low BMI and dry body weight,long dialysis duration,low residual urine,chronic glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy are associated with more IBWG,which may lead to greater intradialytic BP fluctuation.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a pre-operation video assisted education program on residual urine, gas passing and state anxiety in women undergoing hysterectomy. METHODS: Nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design was used for the study. In the research, video assisted education program was applied to the experimental group while a similar conventional education was done to the control group. The pre-operation state anxiety and post-operation residual urine and gas discharge of both the groups were measured. The data were analyzed using SPSS. RESULTS: The experimental group was significantly higher than control group on gas passing (t=3.04, p=.00). However the residual urine (t=0.34, p=.73) and state anxiety (t=0.81, p=.82) did not make significant differences. CONCLUSION: This study is very meaningful in that it developed and provided a nursing intervention can positively affect hysterectomy patients. The pre-operation video assisted education program may be an effective nursing intervention that is clinically practical and useful to reduce time of the gas passing of hysterectomy patients after the operation.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Although post-void residual urine (PVR) is frequently utilized clinically in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), mainly because of its procedural simplicity, its role as a clinical prognostic factor, predictive of treatment goals, is still under much dispute. We investigated the predictive value of PVR for BPH-related clinical events including surgery, acute urinary retention (AUR), and admission following urinary tract infection (UTI). METHODS: From January to June of 2006, patients over 50 years of age who were diagnosed with BPH for the first time at the outpatient clinic and were then treated for at least 3 years with medications were enrolled in this study. The variables of patients who underwent surgical intervention for BPH, had occurrences of AUR, or required admission due to UTI (Group 1, n=43) were compared with those of patients who were maintained with medications only (Group 2, n=266). RESULTS: Group 1 had a significantly higher PVR, more severe symptoms, and a larger prostate at the time of the initial diagnosis in both the univariate and the multivariate analysis. In the 39 patients who underwent BPH-related surgery, although there was a significant change in Qmax at the time of surgery (mean, 13.1 months), PVR and the symptom score remained unchanged compared with the initial evaluation. In the receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, the area under the curve of Group 1 was in the order of prostate volume (0.834), PVR (0.712), and symptom score (0.621). When redivided by arbitrarily selected PVR cutoffs of 50 mL, 100 mL, and 150 mL, the relative risk of clinical BPH progression was measured as 3.93, 2.61, and 2.11. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that, in the symptomatic Korean population, increased PVR at baseline is a significant indicator of BPH-related clinical events along with increased symptom score or prostate volume.

ABSTRACT

Objective To access the effect of intermittent catheterization (IC) on the urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods Sixty patients of spinal cord injury combined with urinary tract infec-tion were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group (32 patients) treated with sensitive antibiotics and IC;control group (28 patients) treated with sensitive antibiotics only. Both groups were treated for two weeks. Results In the treatment and control group,the cure rate was 56% and 29% ,respectively,the total effective rate was 91% and 64% in the treatment and control group,respectively,the clearance rate of bacteria was 81% and 57% ,respec-tively. All differences were significant (P<0.05). Conclusions IC can improve the effect of antibiotic on urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury, and might be effective on the treatment of urinary tract infection caused by various neurogenic bladders.
