Many reports have revealed the importance of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in the control of the bone marrow environment. However, the specific role of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in this process has not been systematically studied. Here we show that NPY‐deficient mice have significantly reduced hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) numbers and impaired regeneration in bone marrow due to apoptotic destruction of SNS fibers and/or endothelial cells. Furthermore, pharmacological elevation of NPY prevented bone marrow impairments in a mouse model of chemotherapy‐induced SNS injury, while NPY injection into conditional knockout mice lacking the Y1 receptor in macrophages did not relieve bone marrow dysfunction. These results indicate that NPY promotes neuroprotection and restores bone marrow dysfunction from chemotherapy‐induced SNS injury through the Y1 receptor in macrophages. They also reveal a new role of NPY as a regulator of the bone marrow microenvironment and highlight the potential therapeutic value of this neuropeptide. 相似文献

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a symptom complex of urinary urgency, frequency and pelvic pain. Multimodality behavioral and phamacologic treatment is often effective in treating IC. Unfortunately, some patients with IC are refractory to standard treatments. Neuromodulation has been shown to be effective in treating voiding dysfunction. Small studies have demonstrated improvement in pelvic pain and IC symptoms during temporary sacral nerve stimulation. This current study demonstrates that patients refractory to traditional therapies for IC can respond well to sacral nerve stimulation and maintain improvement in symptoms after permanent implantation of a neurogenerator. The technique used to place the neurostimulator can impact on the degree of the response and the complication rate. Sacral neurostimulation continues to evolve and should be in the armamentarium available to treat voiding dysfunction. 相似文献

Experiments were undertaken to determine whether angiotensin (Ang) II concentration increases during massive sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation and whether such an increase plays a role in the pathogenesis of SNS-induced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We also sought to determine whether excessive Ca2+ uptake through L-type channels due to intense adrenoceptor activation is responsible for the LV dysfunction. AngII concentration was measured in the plasma and myocardium before and after massively activating the SNS with an intracisternal injection of veratrine. In separate experiments, rabbits were given losartan, enalaprilat, enalaprilat plus HOE-140, nifedipine, -Bay K 4866, or saline before massively activating the SNS. LV function was evaluated 2.5 h later. The intense SNS activity caused plasma and myocardial AngII to increase by 400 and 437%, respectively. AngII receptor blockade did not prevent LV dysfunction. In contrast, enalaprilat reduced the degree of dysfunction, but its cardioprotection was abolished by HOE-140. Although nifedipine prevented SNS-induced LV dysfunction, administration of the Ca2+ channel opener, -Bay K 4866, did not increase its severity. Our results indicate that AngII is not involved in the pathogenesis of SNS-induced LV dysfunction and that the cardioprotection provided by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition is due to activation of a bradykinin pathway. Furthermore, the finding that the magnitude of the LV dysfunction was reduced by enalaprilat, and not increased by -Bay K 4866, suggests that intense adrenoceptor activation of L-type Ca2+ channels is not the primary pathogenetic mechanism. 相似文献

Our previous work indicates that myocardial ischemia could be the mechanism responsible for the left ventricular (LV) dysfunction that frequently develops after massive sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation. In this study, coronary blood flow (CBF) and myocardial ATP, creatine phosphate, and lactate concentrations were measured after massively activating the SNS of anesthetized rabbits with an intracisternal injection of veratrine. CBF was measured at time 0 (baseline), and at 2, 10, and 20 min after SNS activation in one group, and at 0, 45, 90, and 150 min in a second group. Myocardial ATP, creatine phosphate, and lactate were measured at 0, 2, 10, 20, 90, and 150 min in separate groups of rabbits. SNS activation caused LV dysfunction in approximately 60% of the rabbits. SNS-related increases in CBF kept pace with the increases in myocardial energy demand as determined from the systolic pressure-heart rate product. The subendocardial-to-subepicardial blood flow ratio did not change significantly. Myocardial creatine phosphate concentration was depressed 2 min after SNS activation and remained depressed for at least 20 min. ATP fell continuously and was significantly lower than baseline by 20 min. Tissue lactate concentration was elevated at this time. By 90 min, the concentrations of all three metabolites had recovered. These results indicate that myocardial high-energy phosphate compounds fall after massive SNS activation, but ischemia does not appear to be the underlying mechanism. 相似文献

A rat model of ovariectomy-induced voiding dysfunction was established and the effects of ovariectomy and subsequent estrogen replacement on the affinity of muscarinic receptors in the rat bladder were determined. Voiding frequency and spatial distribution patterns were documented in sham-operated (control), and ovariectomized (placebo- or estrogen-treated) rats. The ovariectomized rats had a significantly different urinating pattern, i.e. higher voiding frequency and less peripheral voiding than the sham-operated group, suggestive of urge incontinence. Using this model of voiding dysfunction, negative logs of dissociation constants of carbachol of the rat detrusor muscarinic receptors were then determined indirectly using the Furchgott's double-reciprocal method. Receptor affinities were not significantly different in all groups compared to control females. In conclusion, a model of ovariectomy-induced voiding dysfunction in ovariectomized rats was established, where bladder dysfunction occurred with no significant changes in the affinity of muscarinic receptors. 相似文献

Chronic prostatitis has been a perplexing problem for urologists for decades. This review explores the perils and pitfalls urologists encounter with epidemiology, etiology, classification, diagnosis, and treatment of this syndrome. The major question involves the problem of developing rational treatment plans for patients with a medical condition associated with genitourinary pain, variable voiding, and sexual dysfunction but no obvious and accepted etiology. Exciting, innovative, ongoing research does offer some solutions and management strategies that urologists can even now incorporate into their practice while waiting for the fundamental questions to be answered. 相似文献

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) or neurotransmitters in the bone marrow microenvironment has been known to regulate hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) functions such as self-renewal, proliferation and differentiation. However, the specific role of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in this process remains relatively unexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that NPY deficient mice have significantly reduced HSC numbers and impaired bone marrow regeneration due to apoptotic destruction of SNS fibers and/or endothelial cells. Moreover, NPY treatment prevented bone marrow impairments in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced SNS injury, while conditional knockout mice lacking the Y1 receptor in macrophages did not restore bone marrow dysfunction in spite of NPY injection. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) secreted by NPY-mediated Y1 receptor stimulation in macrophages plays a key role in neuroprotection and HSC survival in the bone marrow. Therefore, this study reveals a new role of NPY in bone marrow HSC microenvironment, and provides an insight into the therapeutic application of this neuropeptide.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common neoplastic condition afflicting men and constitutes a major factor impacting male health. Clinical evaluation to assess the presence and degree of voiding dysfunction and/or the role of BPH in its presence has an increasingly broad spectrum of treatment goals. The goals of the evaluation of such men are to identify the patient's voiding or, more appropriately, urinary tract problems, both symptomatic and physiologic; to establish the etiologic role of BPH in these problems; to evaluate the necessity for and probability of success and risks of various therapeutic approaches; and to present the results of these assessments to the patient so he can make an informed decision about management recommendations and available alternatives. 相似文献

alpha-Adrenoreceptor antagonists have become the primary medical treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It was presumed that the primary mechanism by which alpha-blockers reduced lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was by relaxation of smooth muscle in the prostate through a sympathetic response. Reduction of outlet resistance leads to changes in bladder function, thus improving both storage and voiding symptoms. However, it was observed that many patients with BPH-associated LUTS had significant improvement in storage symptoms without subjective or objective improvement in voiding. Storage symptoms associated with detrusor overactivity (frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence) are typically thought of as being parasympathetically mediated, and therefore anticholinergic medications have been the mainstay of pharmacological treatment, but recent work has suggested that several nonparasympathetic-mediated mechanisms may cause detrusor overactivity. Because alpha receptors appear to play a role in lower urinary tract function at multiple sites and levels, alpha-blockers could be used to treat voiding dysfunction not related to BPH. In addition, these nonprostate effects should be gender-independent, making the use of alpha-blockers plausible in women with specific types of voiding dysfunction. 相似文献

Background aimsEffective treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is lacking. This study investigated whether transplantation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSC) can treat SUI in a rat model.MethodsRats were induced to develop SUI by postpartum vaginal balloon dilation and bilateral ovariectomy. ADSC were isolated from the peri-ovary fat, examined for stem cell properties, and labeled with thymidine analog BrdU or EdU. Ten rats received urethral injection of saline as a control. Twelve rats received urethral injection of EdU-labeled ADSC and six rats received intravenous injection of BrdU-labeled ADSC through the tail vein. Four weeks later, urinary voiding function was assessed by conscious cystometry. The rats were then killed and their urethras harvested for tracking of ADSC and quantification of elastin, collagen and smooth muscle contents.ResultsCystometric analysis showed that eight out 10 rats in the control group had abnormal voiding, whereas four of 12 (33.3%) and two of six (33.3%) rats in the urethra-ADSC and tail vein-ADSC groups, respectively, had abnormal voiding. Histologic analysis showed that the ADSC-treated groups had significantly higher elastin content than the control group and, within the ADSC-treated groups, rats with normal voiding pattern also had significantly higher elastin content than rats with voiding dysfunction. ADSC-treated normal-voiding rats had significantly higher smooth muscle content than control or ADSC-treated rats with voiding dysfunction.ConclusionsTransplantation of ADSC via urethral or intravenous injection is effective in the treatment and/or prevention of SUI in a pre-clinical setting. 相似文献

Background
Autonomic urinary dysfunction affects patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP); however, the severity and prevalence of urinary dysfunctions in these patients compared with those observed in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are unknown.Objective
We compared urinary dysfunction characteristics in patients with PSP, PD, and MSA.Patients and Methods
Forty-seven patients who satisfied the probable or possible criteria of the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Stroke and Society for PSP were assessed using the urinary symptoms questionnaire and the urodynamic study at Chiba and Toho Universities (n = 26 and 21, respectively). The results were compared with those of patients with PD and MSA (n = 218 and 193, respectively).Results
The mean disease duration of PSP and the mean age were 2.97 ± 0.26 and 71.4 ± 0.88 years, respectively. The mini-mental state examination and frontal assessment battery scores were 22.6 ± 0.70 and 10.7 ± 0.49, respectively. Urinary storage and voiding symptoms were observed in 57% and 56% of patients with PSP, respectively. Detrusor overactivity in the urodynamic study was detected in 81% of patients with PSP, which was slightly more than that found in patients with PD (69%) and MSA (67%); however, this was not statistically significant. Postvoid residual volume in patients with PSP was significantly more than that in patients with PD (P < 0.01), but was equivalent to that in patients with MSA.Conclusions
The present study demonstrated that patients with PSP experienced various urinary dysfunctions. Urinary storage dysfunction in patients with PSP was not different from that in patients with PD or MSA, whereas urinary voiding dysfunction in patients with PSP was milder than that in patients with MSA and more severe than that in patients with PD. These features should be taken into account for the differentiation of PSP from PD and MSA. 相似文献14.

Urinary voiding dysfunction in childhood, manifesting as incontinence, dysuria, and urinary frequency, is a common condition. Urofacial syndrome (UFS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by facial grimacing when attempting to smile and failure of the urinary bladder to void completely despite a lack of anatomical bladder outflow obstruction or overt neurological damage. UFS individuals often have reflux of infected urine from the bladder to the upper renal tract, with a risk of kidney damage and renal failure. Whole-genome SNP mapping in one affected individual defined an autozygous region of 16 Mb on chromosome 10q23-q24, within which a 10 kb deletion encompassing exons 8 and 9 of HPSE2 was identified. Homozygous exonic deletions, nonsense mutations, and frameshift mutations in five further unrelated families confirmed HPSE2 as the causative gene for UFS. Mutations were not identified in four additional UFS patients, indicating genetic heterogeneity. We show that HPSE2 is expressed in the fetal and adult central nervous system, where it might be implicated in controlling facial expression and urinary voiding, and also in bladder smooth muscle, consistent with a role in renal tract morphology and function. Our findings have broader implications for understanding the genetic basis of lower renal tract malformations and voiding dysfunction. 相似文献

Diabetics have voiding and continence dysfunction to which elevated levels of advanced glycation end products (AGE) may contribute. In addition, pudendal nerve injury is correlated with voiding dysfunction and stress incontinence in rats. The aim of this study was to investigate whether pudendal nerve crush (PNC) in diabetic rats alters urinary function. Female virgin Sprague-Dawley rats (144) were divided equally into diabetic, diuretic, and control groups. Half of the animals in each group were subjected to PNC, and the other half to sham PNC. Diabetes was induced 8 wk before PNC or sham PNC by streptozotocin injection (35 mg/kg). Animals underwent conscious cystometry and leak point pressure (LPP) testing 4 or 13 days after PNC or sham PNC. Tissues of half the animals were tested for levels of AGEs. Qualitative histological assessment was performed in the remaining animals. Diabetic rats 4 days after PNC voided significantly greater volume in a shorter time and with significantly less pressure than after sham PNC, suggesting that diabetic rats have a functional outlet obstruction that is relieved by PNC. LPP was significantly reduced 4 days after PNC in diabetic and diuretic animals and returned to normal 13 days after PNC. Diabetic rats with PNC demonstrated increased muscle fiber disruption and atrophy of the external urethral sphincter. AGEs were significantly elevated in diabetic rats. PNC relieves a functional outlet obstruction in diabetic rats. AGEs are elevated in diabetic rats and could play a role in urinary dysfunction and recovery from PNC. 相似文献

Neural disturbance of micturition may occur as a result of a prolapsed intervertebral disc. Single nerve root lesions are unlikely to cause bladder dysfunction; a massive central protrusion producing total blockage of the vertebral canal or multiple disc lesions are more likely to cause disturbance of voiding. High lesions are more prone to cause severe bladder dysfunction. Vesical dysfunction may sometimes be present without the typical back and leg pain.Provided a gynaecological cause is excluded, any young or middle-aged woman developing incontinence and retention with a sterile urine must be fully investigated to exclude a disc lesion. Once the disc has been removed, bladder function will improve, but in some cases recovery will be slow. Rarely some patients have permanent bladder dysfunction following a disc operation. 相似文献

Urinary tract infection is a common and frequently recurring condition in children. The susceptibility of the host, the presence of urinary tract abnormalities, and the virulence of the urinary pathogens are of primary importance in the development of the infection. Renal parenchymal scarring, hypertension, and renal insufficiency are well-established complications of the infection in children. To reduce the risk of renal damage, diagnosis and treatment must be prompt. The diagnosis demands radiologic evaluation of the urinary tract in all boys, all children younger than 5 years, all patients with voiding dysfunction, and school-aged girls with recurrent infection to identify those patients with vesicoureteral reflux, obstruction, or other urinary tract abnormalities. Both voiding cystourethrography and renal ultrasonography are the initial examinations to use to determine the next appropriate study. Children with vesicoureteral reflux or with recurrent urinary tract infections should receive prophylactic antibiotic therapy and should be observed closely to prevent renal scarring. 相似文献

Cardiac overstimulation by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is a salient characteristic of heart failure, reflected by elevated circulating levels of catecholamines. The success of beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) antagonists in heart failure argues for SNS hyperactivity being pathogenic; however, sympatholytic agents targeting alpha2AR-mediated catecholamine inhibition have been unsuccessful. By investigating adrenal adrenergic receptor signaling in heart failure models, we found molecular mechanisms to explain the failure of sympatholytic agents and discovered a new strategy to lower SNS activity. During heart failure, there is substantial alpha2AR dysregulation in the adrenal gland, triggered by increased expression and activity of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2). Adrenal gland-specific GRK2 inhibition reversed alpha2AR dysregulation in heart failure, resulting in lowered plasma catecholamine levels, improved cardiac betaAR signaling and function, and increased sympatholytic efficacy of a alpha2AR agonist. This is the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of a molecular mechanism for SNS hyperactivity in heart failure, and our study identifies adrenal GRK2 activity as a new sympatholytic target. 相似文献

When evaluating patients with voiding dysfunction, noninvasive tests such as uroflowmetry and measurement of postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) can help to determine whether additional testing is warranted. PVR can be measured by 2 methods: catheterization or bedside bladder ultrasonography. Although both methods have advantages, the convenience, efficiency, and safety of bladder ultrasound makes its use beneficial in a wide variety of populations, including hospitalized patients, children, and the elderly. More recently, bladder ultrasound has been used for other procedures, such as suprapubic aspiration, evaluation of intravesical masses, and to determine bladder wall thickness and bladder wall mass, both of which have been associated with outflow obstruction. 相似文献
