The Dome Wall of Bladder Acts as a Pacemaker Site in Detrusor Instability in Rats

چکیده
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to confirm that the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) in the dome wall of the bladder are pacemaker cells, and that the dome wall of the bladder acts as a pacemaker site in the detrusor instability (DI) rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS The model of DI in Wistar rats was established and urodynamic studies measuring the bladder volume and pressure were performed. The detrusor excitability was investigated using the amplitude and frequency of phasic contraction of strips. The localization and quantity of ICCs was identified by immunohistochemistry and c-KIT protein expression in the rat bladder. PCR assay and Western blot were used to assess the expression of HCN2 and Cx43. RESULTS The bladder capacity, residual volume, voiding volume, and maximum voiding pressure were significantly increased in the DI group. The contraction frequency and amplitude of the strips from the dome of the bladder in the DI group were higher than the triangle, body, and base parts. Both the concentration of c-KIT positive ICCs cells and expression of the c-KIT protein in the dome wall were higher than in other parts of the bladder. The expression of HCN2 and Cx43 in each part of the DI rat group were obviously higher than each part in the control group. Compared to the body, base, and triangle parts, the expression of HCN2 and Cx43 in the dome wall were obviously higher in the DI group. CONCLUSIONS The quantity of ICCs was higher in the dome wall and the dome wall of bladder acts as a pacemaker site in the DI rat model.

Developmental changes in spontaneous smooth muscle activity in the neonatal rat urinary bladder.
Changes in spontaneous activity of the urinary bladder during postnatal development were examined in muscle strips from the base and dome of bladders from 1- to 5-wk-old rats. Activity was analyzed using fast Fourier transformation (FFT), nonlinear cross prediction, and the Shannon entropy test. Spontaneous activity was not detected in strips from 1- to 5-day-old rats but was observed in 50% of...

Introduction: According to EAU 2018 guidelines, TURBT is the gold standard method for diagnosis and treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder tumor. It has been reported that in 50% of cases no detrusor was found in the specimen. The aim of this study is to compare presence of detrusor in specimens taken by conventional and en-bloc method. Methods: From September 2017 to September 2018, 60 patie...

PURPOSE Evaluate the rabbit augmented bladder with Pelvicol. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty New Zealand rabbits were divided into 4 groups. Bladder augmentation was performed using a 10 x 10 mm sized porcine acellular collagen matrix. The material was placed on the dome of the bladder wall as a patch with 5-0 polyglycolic sutures. The bladder was resected on the 7th, 14th day, 30th and 90th day...
