Modulation of bladder myofibroblast activity: implications for bladder function
Bladder suburothelial myofibroblasts may modulate both sensory responses from the bladder wall and spontaneous activity. This study aimed to characterize further these cells in their response to exogenous agents implicated in mediating the above activity. Detrusor strips, with or without mucosa, and isolated suburothelial myofibroblasts were prepared from guinea pig bladders. Isometric tension,...
متن کاملSomatic modulation of spinal reflex bladder activity mediated by nociceptive bladder afferent nerve fibers in cats.
The goal of the present study was to determine if supraspinal pathways are necessary for inhibition of bladder reflex activity induced by activation of somatic afferents in the pudendal or tibial nerve. Cats anesthetized with α-chloralose were studied after acute spinal cord transection at the thoracic T9/T10 level. Dilute (0.25%) acetic acid was used to irritate the bladder, activate nocicepti...
متن کاملClinical implications of underactive bladder
Underactive bladder (UAB) is a common urologic condition but a complex disease that causes troublesome lower urinary tract symptoms. Currently, management of UAB remains unsatisfactory. Also, many urological diseases can be combined with UAB. In these combined cases, the treatment results may be affected by UAB component. This review focuses on the clinical implications of UAB in patients with ...
متن کاملPhysiological and pathophysiological implications of micromotion activity in urinary bladder function.
'Micromotions' is a term signifying the presence of localized microcontractions and microelongations, alongside non-motile areas. The motile areas tend to shift over the bladder surface with time, and the intravesical pressure reflects moment-by-moment summation of the interplay between net contractile force generated by micromotions and general bladder tone. Functionally, the bladder structure...
متن کاملBladder emptying flow rate as a function of bladder volume.
The recent introduction of radioisotopic technique to measure bladder emptying flow rate&` has prompted a resurgence of interest in the topic. Since no comprehensive description of bladder emptying flow rate (as a function of bladder volume) has been discussed in the literature, we present such an approach in this communication. The topic is of general interest since radioisotopic methods provi...
