A clinical study of intravesical prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) in the treatment of 13 female patients with difficulties in emptying their bladder is reported. Urodynamic investigations were performed before and after instillation of the drug. Although 3 patients had some reduction in residual urine volume, the remainder showed no obvious change and no patient experienced subjective improvement. In 6 patients, biopsies of the vesical mucosa were taken before and after instillation in order to measure the uptake of prostaglandin by the mucosa, but no conclusions could be drawn from these measurements. Although prostaglandins are known to have contractile effects on the detrusor muscle, the results of this study suggest that intravesical PGE2 and PGF2 alpha have no therapeutic value in the treatment of voiding dysfunction and residual urine.

Shiso (Perilla frutescens var crispa f. purprea) is a traditional medicinal herb that exerts anti-inflammatory effects and alleviates lower urinary tract symptoms. In this study, we examined the effects of rosmarinic acid, a major polyphenol in shiso, on urinary function and the bladder in a rat hydrochloric acid-induced cystitis model.

Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) can be one of the most challenging clinical scenarios for urologists to manage. It most commonly occurs as a toxicity of pelvic radiation therapy or in patients treated with the oxazaphosphorine class of chemotherapy. Successful management of HC necessitates a stepwise approach with a thorough understanding of the various treatment options.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We investigated the effects of locally administered human multilineage-differentiating stress enduring (Muse) cells, nontumorigenic pluripotent-like endogenous stem cells, on bladder tissues, function, and nociceptive behavior in a chemically induced Hunner-type interstitial cystitis (HIC)-like rat model without immunosuppressant.
Methods: Chemical cystitis was induced by intravesical instillation of 0.2 N hydrochloride (HCl) for 15 min in female F344 rats.

BK virus (BKV)-related haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is an important cause of morbidity following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The various risk factors include high-level BKV viruria and/or viremia, myeloablative conditioning, acute graft host disease (GVHD), cytomegalovirus viremia, and unrelated or HLA-mismatched donor. The presence of high plasma BK viral load and cytopenias have been implicated as important predictors for protracted disease course.

Prostaglandin E (PGE) instilled into the bladder generates symptoms of urinary urgency in healthy women and reduces bladder capacity and urethral pressure in both humans and female rats. Systemic capsaicin desensitization, which causes degeneration of C-fibers, prevented PGE-mediated reductions in bladder capacity, suggesting that PGE acts as an irritant (Maggi CA, Giuliani S, Conte B, Furio M, Santicioli P, Meli P, Gragnani L, Meli A. 145: 105-112, 1988).
