    Notes: Objective To investigate the management of women with asymptomatic ovarian masses, to determine the appropriate duration of follow up, and to identify diagnostic indicators of growing cysts.Design Review of women's hospital records.Setting Tokyo Metropolitan Cancer Detection Center, Japan.Population Two hundred and twenty-five pre- and postmenopausal women with a diagnosis of ovarian cyst ≥6 cm in diameter and normal serum level of CA125, diagnosed between 1 October 1990 and 25 December 1991.Main outcome measure Change in size of cyst as shown by ultrasound.Results Seventy-five months after initial diagnosis, 29 (13%) of the masses had progressed, 31 (14%) had persisted, and 165 (73%) had regressed. One hundred and nine masses (48%) had regressed within six months of the initial diagnosis. In univariate analysis transvaginal ultrasonographic assessment of morphology findings, cyst diameter, carcinoembyronic antigen (CEA) and CA 19.9 were associated with the prognosis of the cyst. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that only the initial serum CA19-9 level and serum CEA level were significant predictors of ovarian masses that regressed (P for trend = 0.004 and 0.02, respectively).Conclusion Simple ovarian cysts in patients with a normal level of CA125 have a low risk for ovarian cancer. Vaginal ultrasound at six months will identify regression of most simple cysts. CA19-9 and CEA at the initial diagnosis are useful parameters to predict future regression of ovarian cysts.

    Notes: Abstract We investigated the effects of ischemia induced by ligation of the bilateral internal iliac arteries following partial outlet obstruction on changes in detrusor function in rat. Rats were divided into three groups: sham-operated control rats, rats with partial outlet obstruction, and rats with obstruction + ischemia. Bladder function was studied by the in vitro organ bath technique 7 days after surgery. The weight of the bladder was significantly increased in both the obstruction and obstruction + ischemia groups. The obstruction + ischemia group exhibited a greater increase in weight. The passive length-tension relationship of detrusor muscle strips showed that tissue elasticity was decreased and the active length-tension relationship demonstrated that the peak response was observed at a shorter tissue length in the obstruction + ischemia group compared with the other two groups. There was no difference in the passive and active length-tension relationships between the control group and the obstruction group. The contractile response to various kinds of stimulation (field stimulation, bethanechol, ATP, and KCl) increased in the obstruction group and decreased in the obstruction + ischemia group. These findings suggest that partial outflow obstruction alone increased bladder contractility in response to stimuli. However, ischemia reduced the contractility and elasticity of the bladder wall.

    Effect of magnesium on the function of the rabbit corpus cavernosum (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Contraction and relaxation of the smooth muscle, including the corpus cavernosum, are mediated by changes in the intracellular concentration of calcium. Since magnesium modulates the movement of calcium it can modify the function of the erectile tissue. We designed this study to investigate the effects of magnesium in doses ranging from 5 to 30 mM on the function of the rabbit corpus cavernosum in vitro. The resting tension of tissue strips was significantly reduced by exposure to a solution high in magnesium (5–30 mM). The contractile response to field stimulation under resting conditions, and the contraction to phenylephrine, were significantly decreased by magnesium (5–30 mM). There were no differences in the contractile strength of the corpus cavernosum to KCl. Although the relaxation induced by field stimulation under preincubation with 200 μM phenylephrine was abolished in the presence of 30 mM magnesium, there were no differences at a concentration of 5 mM or of 10 mM magnesium. The relaxation induced by sodium nitroprusside under precontraction with 200 μM phenylephrine was further increased by magnesium dose dependently. A high concentration of magnesium (30 mM) enhanced both bethanechol-induced and ATP-induced relaxations under precontraction with phenylephrine. Our study demonstrated that magnesium reduced the receptor-mediated contraction of the rabbit corpus cavernosum and enhanced the relaxation of this tissue induced by sodium nitroprusside, bethanechol, and ATP.

    Functional restoration of rat bladder after subtotal cystectomy: in vivo cystometry and in vitro study of whole bladder (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Functional restoration of the rat urinary bladder following subtotal cystectomy was studied via in vivo infusion cystometry and an in vitro whole bladder model. After the bladder had been separated from the prostate, subtotal cystectomy was achieved by ligating the bladder completely at a level just above the insertion of the ureters into the bladder. Bladder function was investigated immediately and 7, 14, and 28 days after surgery. Bladder weight was reduced to 17% that in sham-operated controls immediately after surgery, but recovered to 76% of that in controls 28 days after the operation. In vivo capacity also increased after surgery from 13% that of controls to 59% 28 days later. However, voiding pressure remained low (34% of control) 28 days later. An in vitro whole bladder study showed that the response to field stimulation decreased significantly on day 7, but had recovered considerably by day 28. The maximal response to bethanechol decreased significantly 7 days after surgery, but recovered thereafter. The response to phenylephrine increased significantly immediately after surgery, but gradually returnd to the control level. An in vitro volume-pressure study showed that passive complance of the cystectomized bladder decreased after surgery, but improved with time. The peak of the active pressure increase to field stimulation occurred at a low infusion volume immediately after surgery, but bladder capacity increased gradually until 28 days later, when the maximal active pressure was obtained. Our results suggest that restoration of the bladder following subtotal cystectomy may not derive simply from an expansion of the bladder wall. Functional alteration involving the bladder base was also observed.

    Notes: Abstract The expression of two small stress proteins, αB crystallin and the 27-kDa heat shock protein (HSP27), was studied quantitatively and immunohistochemically in normal kidney and renal tumors in rats. Levels of αB crystallin in renal cell tumors tended to be higher than in normal kidney (P = 0.07), but with a wide range of values, whereas they were significantly lower in mesenchymal tumors (P 〈 0.0001). In contrast, HSP27 concentrations in both renal cell (mean ± SD: 1790 ± 940 ng/mg protein,n = 15) and mesenchymal (1260 ± 1080 ng/mg protein,n = 10) tumors were significantly higher than the normal kidney value (142 ± 30 ng/mg protein,n = 10,P 〈 0.0001). A positive correlation was found between αB crystallin and HSP27 levels limited to the renal cell tumor case (Pearson's correlation coefficient,r = 0.68,P 〈 0.01). Immunohistochemistry revealed the loops of Henle to be positive for αB crystallin, whereas HSP27 staining was positive in glomerular and interstitial vascular walls and epithelial cells of proximal and distal tubules. Positive immunostaining for αB crystallin was demonstrated in six of nine renal cell tumors (67%) studied and for HSP27 in all of the nine cases (100%).

    Notes: Abstract Detrusor dysfunction does not recover in some patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) even after prostate resection. ‘We studied the functional restoration of the rat bladder after release of short- or long-term outflow obstruction. Bladder function was assessed by in vivo infusion cystometry and an in vitro organ bath technique. There were no significant differences in bladder weight and contractile strength induced by stimuli in detrusor muscle strips from obstructed rats and age-matched control rats. After short-term obstruction the whole bladder pressure generated in vitro by field stimulation, bethanechol, ATP, and KCl completely recovered to control levels. In contrast, after long-term obstruction, the whole bladder pressure in response to field stimulation remained significantly lower than in controls. Infusion cystometry variables, including the pressure at which micturition was induced, maximal voiding pressure, capacity, and residual urine volume, were similar between controls and rats subjected to short-term obstruction. However, the maximal voiding pressure after long-term obstruction was significantly less than that of controls.
