Should simultaneous ureteral reimplantation be performed during sigmoid bladder augmentation to reduce vesicoureteral reflux in neurogenic bladder cases?

Purpose: To assess the necessity of performing simultaneous collateral reimplantation during sigmoid bladder augmentation (SBA) to reduce vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in low-compliance neuropathic bladder with associated VUR.

Methods: We retrospectively identified 31 patients who underwent SBA alone or with simultaneous ureteral reimplantation at our hospital. The video urodynamics data, VUR status, renal function, and clinical symptoms were studied during follow-up.

Long-term follow-up of sigmoid bladder augmentation for low-compliance neurogenic bladder.

Objective: To assess the clinical and urodynamic outcomes of patients with low-compliance neurogenic bladder who were treated with sigmoid bladder augmentation (SBA) over a long-term follow-up.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 52 patients with low-compliance neurogenic bladder who underwent SBA alone or with antireflux techniques in our hospital from 2006 to 2014. Clinical outcomes regarding bladder function, incontinence, medications, catheterization schedules, subsequent interventions, bowel function, and patient satisfaction were addressed.

[Genotypes and serotypes of avian infectious bronchitis viruses isolated during 2009-2011 in Guangxi, China].

In order to investigate the prevalence and track genetic and antigenic evolutions of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and their prevalence in Guangxi, China since 1985, gene amplification and sequencing and virus neutralization (VN) test on chicken embryo tracheal organ cultures were used in genotyping and serotyping of 28 IBV isolates during 2009-2011 in Guangxi. The results of N gene sequencing and comparison showed that the 28 isolates and reference strains were classified into three groups, and most isolates belonged to group Ill, while the isolates in 1985-2008 belonged to groups IV and II. The data of VN test indicated that the 28 isolates belonged to 6 serotypes; among them, 71.

Bladder neck incision for female bladder neck obstruction: long-term outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of bladder neck incision (BNI) for primary bladder neck obstruction in women.

Methods: Eighty-four women were diagnosed on the basis of videourodynamic study. BNI was performed for each patient, with incisions made at 2 different sites on the bladder neck.

[Efficiency of O'Leary-Sant symptom index and problem index in the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis].

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of O'Leary-Sant problem index and symptom index (OPSI) in the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (IC).

Methods: A total of 82 patients, initially diagnosed as IC, with urinary frequency, urgency and pain on pubic area during bladder filling phase from January 2008 to March 2013 were enrolled.OPSI was used to evaluate their symptoms.

Diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction in men using a near-infrared spectroscopy instrument as the noninvasive monitor for bladder function.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in men using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a noninvasive monitor.

Materials And Methods: The study included 94 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms owing to benign prostatic hyperplasia. All patients underwent uroflow rate and post-void residual (PVR) followed by NIRS assessment of BOO and pressure-flow study for diagnosis.

[Identification of lower urinary tract voiding dysfunction in females by using video-urodynamic study].

Objective: To assess the value of video-urodynamic study (VUD) in the identification of lower urinary tract voiding dysfunction in female.

Methods: A total of 126 female patients with sign and symptoms of lower urinary tract voiding dysfunction underwent VUD from December 2008 to January 2011 in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital. The causes of voiding dysfunction were analyzed based on VUD findings.

Video-urodynamics study on female patients with bladder neck obstruction.

Background: Pressure-flow study combined with cystourethroscopy were used as the major method to define female bladder neck obstruction in China. However, the definition of urodynamics for female bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is not clear so far. Video-urodynamic study (VUDS) would provide more information to define the female BOO, but it is not used commonly due to the limitation of video-urodynamic equipment in China.

[Orthotopic T pouch ileal neobladder: evaluations of urodynamics and upper urinary tract functions].

Objective: To evaluate the urodynamics and functions of upper urinary tract in a substitute of orthotopic T pouch ileal bladder.

Methods: From June 2004 through September 2009, 90 patients underwent the construction of an orthotopic T pouch ileal neobladder after radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The radiographic or ultrasound evaluation of upper urinary tract, determination of renal functions and urodynamic evaluation of T pouch ileal neobladder were performed by data analysis.

[Clinical efficacy of a short-term regimen of Cardura XL on lower urinary tract symptoms and international prognostic scoring system in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Cardura XL (doxazosin mesylate controlled release tablets) on lower urinary tract symptoms, IPSS (international prognostic scoring system) and short-term QOL (quality of life) (3 months) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Methods: From July 2008 to February 2009, 80 male BPH patients with a mean age of 70.5 years old (range: 62-82) were prospectively recruited to receive a daily dose of Cardura XL 4 mg for 3 months.

Objective: Applying bladder outlet obstruction number (BOON) to predict bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Methods: Seventy-six male who were suspected to suffer from BOO due to BPH with lower urinary tract symptoms were evaluated. The data included prostate volume (by transrectal prostate ultrasound), maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) and mean voided volume to calculate the BOON by simple algorithm: prostate volume (cm(3))-3 x Qmax (ml/s)-0.
