Objective: To investigate the possibility of regeneration of somatic motor nerve to replace splanchnic nerve and the electrophysiologic characters of the regenerated nerve.
Methods: An artificial somato-autonomic reflex pathway was established by intradural microanastomosis of L(4) ventral root (VR) to L(6)VR at the left side in 12 male Wistar rats. Then the L(4)VR proximal to the anastomosis was stimulated by silver electrode and the evoked potentials were recorded on the distal end to the anastomosis, pelvic nerve and postganlionic fibers of the major pelvic ganglia (MPG). Cystometrography was used to record the intravesical pressure. Hexamethonium, a cholinergic ganglion blocker, was given directly on the pelvic ganglion so as to observe the change of the intravesical pressure evoked by stimulation of the nerves. Another 12 rats were used as controls.
Results: (1) In the experimental group, stimulation of the L(4)VR proximal end to the anastomosis evoked potentials on the distal end, the pelvic nerve, and the postganglionic fibers of the MPG, and induced bladder contraction. Stimulation of the contralateral sciatic nerve failed to evoke change of intravesical pressure. In the control group stimulation of the L(4)VR or sciatic nerve failed to evoke potentials on the postganglionic fibers of pelvic nerve and change of intravesical pressure. (2) Stimulation of the ipsilateral sciatic nerve led to an increase of intravesical pressure. (3) After the use of hexamethonium stimulation of the ipsilateral sciatic nerve and proximal end of L(4)-L(6) anastomosis failed to evoke change of intravesical pressure. (4) The conduction velocity of the regenerated motor axons was 33.3 m/s +/- 6.9m/s, significantly higher than that of the control group (11.6 m/s +/- 1.6 m/s).
Conclusion: Somatic motor axons can regenerate to the MPG and reinnervate the bladder and the impulses from the somatic motor neurons can initiate voiding.

International cross-sectional survey on current and updated definitions of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome.

First Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, Medical University of Lublin, Lublin, Poland.
Background: The Abdominal Compartment Society (WSACS) established consensus definitions and recommendations for the management of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) in 2006, and they were last updated in 2013. The WSACS conducted an international survey between 2022 and 2023 to seek the agreement of healthcare practitioners (HCPs) worldwide on current and new candidate statements that may be used for future guidelines.
Methods: A self-administered, online cross-sectional survey was conducted under the auspices of the WSACS to assess the level of agreement among HCPs over current and new candidate statements.

Article Synopsis
- * The researchers created a 63-gene signature called Chemoresistance-Motility (CrM) to study how NMIBC evolves over time and used it to analyze 1,846 samples, revealing that early resistance stages are linked to increased cell movement and metastasis.
- * The study suggests that patients with high CrM scores have worse outcomes, ineffective responses to BCG and immune therapies, and identifies five alternative drugs to gemcitabine that may be effective, proposing a need for further validation of these findings.

The article presents a clinical observation demonstrating the functional results of orthotopic bladder plastic surgery according to Studer after radical cystectomy, which demonstrates the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) 2.5 years after surgery. According to the literature, patients who survived the early postoperative period with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and no lymph node involvement have a high probability of relapse-free and cancer-specific life expectancy of more than 15 years, but the probability of developing severe renal failure reaches 20%, which reduces the quality and duration of life of such patients.

Objectives: The study was aimed to establish the "inside-out" preparation with the urothelium and investigate the changes in urothelial permeability of the cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced cystitis model in rats.
Methods: In female rats with or without CYP injection, the isolated whole bladder was utilized as an "inside-out" preparation with the urothelium, which was created by reversing the bladder from a top portion. The preparation was fixed in the organ bath, and instilled with a Krebs solution (0.

Benign prostate hyperplasia is the leading cause of lower urinary tract symptoms due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in elderly male patients. The impact of prostate volume (PV) on clinical and urodynamic characteristics was evaluated in those patients with BOO requiring prostate de-obstruction maneuvers in this study. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 301 patients underwent transurethral resection of prostate due to combination with urinary retention (UR) alone and bladder stone (BS) alone.
