RESUMO

Objective To investigate the experience of diagnosis and management of coexisting ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and nonreflux megaureter (NRM).Methods The retrospective study of UPJO with NRM was based on 10 years information retrieved from January 2005 to December 2015.The data of 13 patients (8 males and 5 females) were available and recorded.Mean age at surgery was 3.7 years old (range 1.8 to 14 years).The diagnosis and mangement were summarized.Coexisting ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO) and vesicoureteral reflux,iatrogenic stricture and vesicoureteral reflux were excluded.Intravenous pyelography,voiding cystourethrography,ultrasound and CT reconstruction were performed before operation.Only six patients had an accurate diagnosis as UPJO with UVJO before surgery.Pyeloplasty was the initial surgical management choice for 10 patients,and ureteroneocystostomy in 3 patients.Results UVJO were diagnosed with pyelography techniques in 3 patients after pyeloplasty,while 4 were diagnosed as nonreflux and nonobstruction megaureter.Of the 10 patients who underwent initial pyeloplasty,additional ureteroneocystostomy was required in 3 and the prognosis was good.Additional pyeloplasty was required in 2 of the 3 patients who initially underwent ureteroneoeystostomy.Mean follow-up time from last operation was 23.3 months (6-53 months),the overall prognosis was good.Conclusions It is often difficult to correctly diagnose coexisting UPJO and NRM.In patients with UPJO,it is highly recommended nephrostomy radiography after pyeloplasty to evaluate the distal ureterovesical junction.Initial pyeloplasty is always recommended as first-line therapy.Additional ureteroneocystostomy was required when hydroureteropelvic was aggravated.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Colitis is a serious health problem, and chronic obesity is associated with the progression of colitis. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of natural raw meal (NRM) on high-fat diet (HFD, 45%) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS, 2% w/v)-induced colitis in C57BL/6J mice. MATERIALS/METHODS: Body weight, colon length, and colon weight-to-length ratio, were measured directly. Serum levels of obesity-related biomarkers, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), insulin, leptin, and adiponectin were determined using commercial kits. Serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-1beta, and IL-6 were detected using a commercial ELISA kit. Histological study was performed using a hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining assay. Colonic mRNA expressions of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were determined by RT-PCR assay. RESULTS: Body weight and obesity-related biomarkers (TG, TC, LDL, HDL, insulin, leptin, and adiponectin) were regulated and obesity was prevented in NRM treated mice. NRM significantly suppressed colon shortening and reduced colon weight-to-length ratio in HFD+DSS induced colitis in C57BL/6J mice (P < 0.05). Histological observations suggested that NRM reduced edema, mucosal damage, and the loss of crypts induced by HFD and DSS. In addition, NRM decreased the serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 and inhibited the mRNA expressions of these cytokines, and iNOS and COX-2 in colon mucosa (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The results suggest that NRM has an anti-inflammatory effect against HFD and DSS-induced colitis in mice, and that these effects are due to the amelioration of HFD and/or DSS-induced inflammatory reactions.

RESUMO

Initially, when periaqueductal gray (PAG) is electrically stimulated, analgesia is induced, and this phenomenon is called stimulation-produced analgesia. Nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) as well as PAG are known to be the potent analgesic centers. NRM could modulate the nociceptive response of spinal cord neurons through spinally projecting fibers. However, as well as the above analgesic effects have been confined to the somatic pain, it was variable according to species, and the analgesic effect by NRM stimulation on the visceral pain was not yet clarified. In this study the analgesic effect by NRM stimulation on the visceral pain was examined through recording the activities of the dorsal horn neurons with renal input and renal pain, as a type of visceral pain. The renal pain was induced by ureteral occlusion or renal arterial occlusion, which in turn activated the renal mechanoreceptor or chemoreceptor. These cells had concomitant somatic input. In order to compare the effects of NRM stimulation on the renal pain with somatic pain, the somatic stimulation such as squeezing was conducted on the peripheral receptive field. The main results are summarized as follows: 1) After an electrical stimulation of NRM, spontaneous activities of dorsal horn neurons with renal input were reduced to 73.3 +/- 9.7% of the control value. 2) After an electrical stimulation of NRM, activities of dorsal horn neurons with renal input evoked by a brush, a type of non-noxious stimuli, did not change significantly. But the activities by a squeeze, a type of noxious stimuli, the activities were reduced to 63.2 +/- 7.2% of the control value. 3) After an electrical stimulation of NRM, activities of dorsal horn neurons with renal input evoked by occlusion of ureter or renal artery were reduced to 46.7 +/- 8.8% and 49.0 +/- 8.0% of the control value respectively. 4) The inhibitory effect of NRM on the dorsal horn neurons with renal input did not show any difference between renal A delta fiber and C fiber group. 5) By the electrical stimulation of NRM, the activities evoked by ureteral occlusion showed more reduction in the high threshold cell group than in the wide dynamic range cell group. These results suggest that activation of NRM can alleviate the renal pain as well as the somatic pain by modulating the dorsal horn neurons activities.
