ABSTRACT Background Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We present an alternative technique that preserves the complete mesenteric vascularization during the isolation of the intestinal segment used in ICUD, including distal vessels. This approach aims to minimize the risk of ischemia in both the ileal anastomosis and the isolated loop at the diversion site. Methods This cohort study included 31 patients, both male and female, who underwent RARC with ICUD from February 2018 to November 2023, performed by a single surgeon. Intraoperative and postoperative complications data were retrieved for analysis, employing our proposed mesentery-sparing technique in all cases. The primary endpoint was the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications directly attributable to the mesentery-sparing approach in ICUD. Secondary endpoints included other postoperative variables not directly related to mesentery preservation, such as the incidence of postoperative ileus requiring parenteral nutrition and the duration of hospitalization. Results None of the patients experienced intraoperative or postoperative complications directly related to mesentery-sparing, such as intestinal fistulae or internal hernias. The median duration of hospitalization was 6 days, and postoperative ileus necessitating total parenteral nutrition occurred in 19% of the patients. Minor complications (Clavien-Dindo grades I-II) accounted for 27.6% of the cases and major complications (grades III-V) accounted for 20.6%. Conclusion The mesentery-sparing technique outlined herein offers an alternative method for preserving the vascularization of intestinal segments and reducing the risk of intestinal complications in ICUD during RARC.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To analyze the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients who survived moderate and severe forms of COVID-19 and the risk factors for LUTS six months after hospitalization. Materials and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, patients were evaluated six months after hospitalization due to COVID-19. LUTS were assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score. General health was assessed through the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the EQ5D-L5 scale, which evaluates mobility, ability to perform daily activities, pain and discomfort and completed a self-perception health evaluation. Results: Of 255 participants, 54.1% were men and the median age was 57.3 [44.3 - 66.6] years. Pre-existing comorbidities included diabetes (35.7%), hypertension (54.5%), obesity (30.2%) and physical inactivity (65.5%). One hundred and twenty-four patients (48.6%) had a hospital stay >15 days, 181 (71.0%) were admitted to an ICU and 124 (48.6%) needed mechanical ventilation. Median IPSS was 6 [3-11] and did not differ between genders. Moderate to severe LUTS affected 108 (42.4%) patients (40.6% men and 44.4% women; p=0.610). Nocturia (58.4%) and frequency (45.9%) were the most prevalent symptoms and urgency was the only symptom that affected men (29.0%) and women (44.4%) differently (p=0.013). LUTS impacted the quality of life of 60 (23.5%) patients with women more severely affected (p=0.004). Diabetes, hypertension, and self-perception of worse general health were associated with LUTS. Conclusions: LUTS are highly prevalent and bothersome six months after hospitalization due to COVID-19. Assessment of LUTS may help ensure appropriate diagnosis and treatment in these patients.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The increasing adoption of robotic-assisted cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD), despite its complexity, prompts a detailed comparison with extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD). Our study at a single institution investigates perioperative outcomes and identifies risk factors impacting the success of these surgical approaches. Methods: In this retrospective analysis, 174 patients who underwent robotic-assisted cystectomy at the University of Louisville from June 2016 to August 2021 were reviewed. The cohort was divided into two groups based on the urinary diversion method: 30 patients underwent ECUD and 144 underwent ICUD. Data on demographics, complication rates, length of hospital stay, and readmission rates were meticulously collected and analyzed. Results: Operative times were comparable between the ICUD and ECUD groups. However, the ICUD group had a significantly lower intraoperative transfusion rate (0.5 vs. 1.0, p=0.02) and shorter hospital stay (7.8 vs. 12.3 days, p<0.001). Factors such as male sex, smoking history, diabetes mellitus, intravesical therapy, higher ASA, and ACCI scores were associated with increased Clavien-Dindo Grade 3 or higher complications. Age over 70 was the sole factor linked to a higher 90-day readmission rate, with no specific characteristics influencing the 30-day rate. Conclusion: Robotic cystectomy with ICUD results in shorter hospitalizations and lower intraoperative transfusion rates compared to ECUD, without differences in operative time, high-grade postoperative complications, or readmission rates. These findings can inform clinical decision-making, highlighting ICUD as a potentially more favorable option in appropriate settings.

ABSTRACT Purpose: Smoking is a recognized risk factor for bladder BC and lung cancer LC. We investigated the enduring risk of BC after smoking cessation using U.S. national survey data. Our analysis focused on comparing characteristics of LC and BC patients, emphasizing smoking status and the latency period from smoking cessation to cancer diagnosis in former smokers. Materials and Methods: We analyzed data from the National Health and Examination Survey (2003-2016), identifying adults with LC or BC history. Smoking status (never, active, former) and the interval between quitting smoking and cancer diagnosis for former smokers were assessed. We reported descriptive statistics using frequencies and percentages for categorical variables and median with interquartile ranges (IQR) for continuous variables. Results: Among LC patients, 8.9% never smoked, 18.9% active smokers, and 72.2% former smokers. Former smokers had a median interval of 8 years (IQR 2-12) between quitting and LC diagnosis, with 88.3% quitting within 0-19 years before diagnosis. For BC patients, 26.8% never smoked, 22.4% were active smokers, and 50.8% former smokers. Former smokers had a median interval of 21 years (IQR 14-33) between quitting and BC diagnosis, with 49.3% quitting within 0-19 years before diagnosis. Conclusions: BC patients exhibit a prolonged latency period between smoking cessation and cancer diagnosis compared to LC patients. Despite smoking status evaluation in microhematuria, current risk stratification models for urothelial cancer do not incorporate it. Our findings emphasize the significance of long-term post-smoking cessation surveillance and advocate for integrating smoking history into future risk stratification guidelines.

OBJECTIVES@#To classify bladder cancer based on immune cell infiltration score and to construct a risk assessment model for prognosis of patients.@*METHODS@#The transcriptome data and data of breast cancer patients were obtained from the TCGA database. The single sample gene set enrichment analysis was used to calculate the infiltration scores of 16 immune cells. The classification of breast cancer patients was realized by unsupervised clustering, and the sensitivity of patients with different types to immunotherapy and chemotherapy was analyzed. The key modules significantly related to the infiltration of key immune cells were identified by weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), and the key genes in the modules were extracted. A risk scoring model and a nomogram for risk assessment of prognosis for bladder cancer patients were constructed and verified.@*RESULTS@#The immune cell infiltration scores of normal tissues and tumor tissues were calculated, and B cells, mast cells, neutrophils, T helper cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were determined to be the key immune cells of bladder cancer. Breast cancer patients were clustered into two groups (Cluster 1 and Custer 2) based on immune cell infiltration scores. Compared with patients with Cluster 1, patients with Cluster 2 were more likely to benefit from immunotherapy (P<0.05), and patients with Cluster 2 were more sensitive to Enbeaten, Docetaxel, Cyclopamine, and Akadixin (P<0.05). WGCNA screened out 35 genes related to key immune cells, and 4 genes (GPR171, HOXB3, HOXB5 and HOXB6) related to the prognosis of bladder cancer were further screened by LASSO Cox regression. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of the bladder cancer prognosis risk scoring model based on these 4 genes to predict the 1-, 3- and 5-year survival of patients were 0.735, 0.765 and 0.799, respectively. The nomogram constructed by combining risk score and clinical parameters has high accuracy in predicting the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival of bladder cancer patients.@*CONCLUSIONS@#According to the immune cell infiltration score, bladder cancer patients can be classified. And the bladder cancer prognosis risk scoring model and nomogram based on key immune cell-related genes have high accuracy in predicting the prognosis of bladder cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the signal abnormality of conus medullaris in patients with overactive bladder(OAB)and un-deractive bladder(UAB)by MRI diffusion tensor imaging(DTI). Methods From May,2021 to April,2023,23 patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction without trauma and supraspi-nal lesions were enrolled(case group).All patients underwent imaging urodynamics and pelvic floor electromy-ography.Based on the bladder contraction during the filling phase of urodynamics,the patients were divided into UAB group and OAB group.Eight healthy subjects were included as the control group.All participants under-went T10 to L5 spinal segment MRI scans and DTI scans.The position of conus medullaris was determined by comparing the DTI sequences with the MRI scans.The fractional anisotropy(FA),apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC),and relative anisotropy(RA)of the conus medullaris intermediate segment were compared. Results Twelve cases were in UAB group,and eleven in OAB goup.Abnormalities were found in the pelvic floor elec-tromyography in the case group.There was significant difference in sacral reflex arc nerve conduction testing be-tween UAB and OAB groups(P = 0.036).Compared with the control group,ADC increased(t = 2.185,P = 0.037)in the case group;FA decreased(t = 3.439,P = 0.005)and ADC increased(t = 4.582,P<0.001)in UAB group. Conclusion DTI is helpful to find the potential lesion of spinal cord in patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction.FA and ADC are valuable indicators for the diagnosis of conus medullaris injury.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic performance of continuous-time random-walk (CTRW) diffusion model combined with vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS) in the diagnosis of muscle invasion of bladder cancer.Methods:In this case-control study, 64 patients with pathologically confirmed bladder urothelial carcinoma in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively enrolled from August 2022 to March 2023. The patients were divided into the muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) group and the nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) group (29 cases and 35 cases, respectively) according to the pathological results. All patients underwent bladder MRI within 4 weeks before surgery, including T 2WI, conventional diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and multi-b-value DWI. The CTRW model was used to obtain three quantitative diffusion parameters, including D m (an anomalous diffusion coefficient), α (related to temporal diffusion heterogeneity), and β (related to spatial diffusion heterogeneity). The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated using a mono-exponential model. The VI-RADS scores were evaluated based on T 2WI and conventional DWI. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the diffusion parameters between the MIBC group and the NMIBC group. The combination of the parameters was investigated with logistic regression analysis. The diagnostic performance for muscle invasion of bladder cancer was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic analysis and the area under the curve (AUC). The difference between AUC was compared using the DeLong test. Results:There were statistically significant differences in ADC, D m, and α between the MIBC group and the NMIBC group ( Z=-2.31, -2.91, -3.97, P=0.021, 0.004,<0.001). No significant difference was found in β between the two groups ( Z=1.69, P=0.091). The AUC (95% CI) of D m and α for diagnosing MIBC were 0.712 (0.587-0.838) and 0.790 (0.676-0.904) respectively, both of which were higher than that of ADC (AUC 0.669, 95% CI 0.537-0.801) with statistically significant differences ( Z=2.86, 2.27, P=0.004, 0.023). The AUC (95% CI) of CTRW (D m+α) was 0.782 (0.661-0.876), which was significantly higher than that of ADC ( Z=2.35, P=0.019). The AUC (95% CI) of VI-RADS score and VI-RADS combined with CTRW parameter (VI-RADS+D m+α) were 0.823 (0.716-0.930) and 0.900 (0.799-0.961) respectively, with a statistically significant difference between them ( Z=2.16, P=0.031). Conclusion:The D m and α parameters in the CTRW diffusion model show better performance than the ADC in the mono-exponential model for muscle-invasive evaluation of bladder cancer, and the CTRW diffusion model can enhance the diagnostic performance of VI-RADS.

Nerve growth factor （NGF） has been widely studied because it plays an important role in the survival， growth and differentiation of nerve cells. It is distributed throughout the body and plays different pathophysiological roles according to the combined receptors. TrkA is its high affinity receptor， and many studies have shown that NGF plays different roles according to its downstream signal transduction pathways after combining with it. After combining with NGF， it also has a cross-effect on other signal transduction pathways that occur in the body. This paper reviews the signal transduction pathways combined with NGF and TrkA from different disease symptoms， so as to explore the role of NGF/TrkA signal pathways in children with overactive bladder.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy of Solifenacin in the treatment of children with idiopathic overactive bladder （OAB）. MethodsThe study included 67 children with idiopathic OAB treated in the urology clinic of our hospital from March 2022 to March 2023. After at least 2-week-long behavioral therapy showed no significant therapeutic effect， 52 of the cases in the trial group were given oral Solifenacin 5 mg once daily and the other 15 cases in the control group continued the behavioral therapy. The cases in trial group were subdivided into OAB-dry group （27 cases without urinary incontinence） and OAB-wet group （25 cases with urinary incontinence）. The 3-day micturition diary， OAB Symptom Scores （OABSS） and the adverse reactions were recorded and analyzed before， at Weeks 2， 4， 8 and 12 after the treatment. ResultsOf all the 67 cases who completed a 3-month follow-up， 44 were cured including 41 in the trial group and 3 in the control group， 4 presented with adverse reactions. After the 3-month follow-up， the OABSS declined markedly in trial group than in control group （Z=4.524， P<0.001）； the cure rates in trial group and control group are 78.8% and 20% respectively， with significant difference （χ2=15.367， P<0.001）. At each follow-up，we found increased mean voided volume （F=9.707， P<0.001）， reduced mean voiding frequency during daytime （F=3.837， P=0.009） and decreased voiding urgency （χ2=482.835， P<0.001）. After the 3-month follow-up， the cure rates in OAB-dry group and OAB-wet group are 81.5% and 76% respectively， with no significant difference （χ2=0.234， P=0.629）. ConclusionsIn children with idiopathic OAB， oral Solifenacin 5 mg once daily could significantly increase mean voided volume， reduce mean voiding frequency during daytime， relieve symptoms of urinary urgency and lead to fewer adverse reactions， but is not significantly effective for the treatment of urinary incontinence in OAB-wet children .

【Objective】 To investigate the urinary tract characteristics of diabetes insipidus (DI) complicated with upper urinary tract dilatation (UUTD), and to summarize the treatment experience. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 28 DI patients treated in China Rehabilitation Research Center were retrospectively analyzed with UUTD and all urinary tract dysfunction (AUTD) systems to evaluate the urinary tract characteristics. The relevant laboratory results, video-urodynamic recordings (VUDS), UUTD, neurophysiologic tests, treatment regimens and follow-up data were summarized. 【Results】 There were 21 DI cases (75.0%) and 7 cases of DI with neurogenic bladder (NB). Polyuria, polydipsia, urine specific gravity, urine osmotic pressure and water deprivation vasopressin test had diagnostic value for DI. In addition, detailed history, neurological examination, VUDS and neurophysiologic tests had significant diagnostic value for DI with NB. Enterocystoplasty was recommended for 2 DI with NB patients with poor bladder capacity, compliance and renal impairment. For the remaining 26 patients, individualized medication combined with bladder neck incision and appropriate bladder management, including intermittent catheterization, catheter indwelling and regular voiding, achieved satisfactory results. High serum creatinine decreased from (269.8±105.7)μmol/L to (164.4±90.2)μmol/L in 13 patients with abnormal renal function. Forty-eight dilated ureters showed significant improvement in the UUTD grade, and the median grade decreased from 3 to 2. 【Conclusion】 Bladder distension, trabeculation and decreased or absent sensations were common features for DI patients with UUTD. Individualized therapy by medication combined with appropriate bladder management can improve the dilatation and renal function.
