Background There seems to be no consensus concerning taking bladder biopsies during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT). We investigate the clinical significance of bladder biopsy with TUR-BT and the relationship between urinary cytology ...

Improved Urothelial Cell Proliferation, Cytoskeleton and Barrier Function Protein Expression in the Patients With Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome After Intravesical Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection [PDF]
Purpose To investigate urothelial cell proliferation, cytoskeleton, inflammation, and barrier function protein expressions in patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) after intravesical platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections ...

Recently, several reports demonstrate that non-neuronal acetylcholine (ACh) release may contribute to various pathophysiological conditions. In this review, we presented our experiments designed to evaluate the non-neuronal cholinergic system in human ...

Agent-based computational modeling of wounded epithelial cell monolayers [PDF]
Computational modeling of biological systems, or ‘in silico biology’ is an emerging tool for understanding structure and order in biological tissues. Computational models of the behavior of epithelial cells in monolayer cell culture have been developed ...

TUMORS OF THE UPPER UROTHELIUM [PDF]
Forty-two cases of malignant tumors of renal pelvis were reviewed: 28 were transitional cell carcinomas; and 14 were squamous cell carcinomas.The natural history and spread of the disease is discussed in detail. Transitional cell carcinomas spread primarily to the ureter (40 per cent), followed closely by the renal bed (33 per cent) and bladder (30 per

Upk3b is dispensable for development and integrity of urothelium and mesothelium. [PDF]
The mesothelium, the lining of the coelomic cavities, and the urothelium, the inner lining of the urinary drainage system, are highly specialized epithelia that protect the underlying tissues from mechanical stress and seal them from the overlying fluid ...

Transurethral resection and surveillance of bladder cancer supported by 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced fluorescence endoscopy [PDF]
Purpose: We determined whether neoplastic disease, which was missed under white light can be found during transurethral resection of bladder cancer by 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced porphyrin fluorescence.

Pathophysiology of the urothelium and detrusor [PDF]
Conventional wisdom now agrees that symptoms of overactivebladder (OAB) seem to emanate from an aberration in the voidingreflex, leading to involuntary detrusor contractions of eitherneurogenic or myogenic origin. Furthermore, emerging evidencealso encourages us to adopt a new paradigm, in which bladderurothelium is not just a simple barrier but an ...

Altered expression of transmembrane mucins, MUC1 and MUC4, in bladder cancer: pathological implications in diagnosis. [PDF]
Radical changes in both expression and glycosylation pattern of transmembrane mucins have been observed in various malignancies. We and others have shown that MUC1 and MUC4, two transmembrane mucins, play a sentinel role in cell signaling events that ...
