PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Urologic pain conditions such as chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and chronic orchialgia are common, yet diagnosis and treatment are challenging. Current therapies often fail to show efficacy in randomized controlled studies. Lack of efficacy may be due to multifactorial causes and heterogeneity of patient presentation. Efforts have been made to map different phenotypes in patients with urologic pain conditions to tailor more effective therapies. This review will look at current literature on phenotype classification in urologic pain patients and their use in providing effective therapy. RECENT FINDINGS: There has been validation of the 'UPOINT' system (urinary symptoms, psychosocial dysfunction, organ specific findings, infection, neurologic/systemic and tenderness of muscle) to better categorize male chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. Refinement of domain systems and recent cluster analysis has suggested possible central processes involved in urologic pain conditions similar to systemic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and irritable bowel syndrome. SUMMARY: Domain characterization of urologic pain conditions via phenotype mapping can be used to better understand causes of chronic pain and hopefully provide more effective, targeted and multimodal therapy.

A wide spectrum of glandular epithelial metaplastic changes may be seen in the bladder. Cystitis glandularis (CG) is a well-known metaplastic lesion occurring in the presence of chronic inflammation, but there are a few data about mucin expression in its two subtypes (typical and intestinal). The purpose of the present study was to determine the expression of mucin core proteins and CD10 in the different types of CG. For this examination, we used a panel of monoclonal-specific antibodies for MUC1, MUC2, MUC5AC, and MUC6. CG of the intestinal type expressed MUC5AC both in goblet and columnar cells, and strongly expressed intestinal mucin MUC2 only in goblet cells in all cases. There was no expression of MUC1, MUC6, and CD10 in the metaplastic cells. CG of the typical type showed an expression of MUC1 similar to normal urothelium, but the CD10 expression was more intensive than in the control. The mucin expression profile in the different types of CG allows the identification of "gastric mucin" (MUC5AC) together with intestinal mucin (MUC2), while typical CG (CGTP) retains MUC1. Different and contrasting immunoprofiles were evident in various forms of CG. The absence of CD 10 in CG of the intestinal type is a finding that points towards an incomplete form of urinary bladder metaplasia.

To examine the expression of human telomere reverse transcriptase (hTERT), p53 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in cystitis glandularis, 38 patients were divided into two groups: group A (including 18 cases of papillary cystitis glandularis) and group B (including 20 subjects with normal bladder mucosa). All the cases were immunohistochemically examined by using antibodies specifically against p53 and PCNA, and hTERT was determined by in situ hybridization. hTERT was found in 6 cases (33.3%) and p53 was detected in 4 cases (22.2%) in group A, while they were not detected in group B. There were significant differences in hTERT and p53 expression between groups A and B (P<0.05 for both). PCNA was detected in 7 cases (38.9%) in group A and 1 case (5.0%) in group B, and significant difference in PCNA expression was found between the two groups (P<0.05). The expressions of hTERT, p53 and PCNA were significantly higher in group A than in group B, suggesting that papillary cystitis glandularis is predisposed to cancerous change, and p53, PCNA, hTERT may be related to the malignant alteration.

In this study, we used insurance claims for over one-third of the entire US population to create a subset of 128,989 families (481,657 unique individuals). We then used these data to (i) estimate the heritability and familial environmental patterns of 149 diseases and (ii) infer the genetic and environmental correlations for disease pairs from a set of 29 complex diseases. The majority (52 of 65) of our study's heritability estimates matched earlier reports, and 84 of our estimates appear to have been obtained for the first time. We used correlation matrices to compute environmental and genetic disease classifications and corresponding reliability measures. Among unexpected observations, we found that migraine, typically classified as a disease of the central nervous system, appeared to be most genetically similar to irritable bowel syndrome and most environmentally similar to cystitis and urethritis, all of which are inflammatory diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the rationality of clinical typing of cystitis glandularis (CG) and the potential of cancerization of different types of CG. METHODS: Flow cytometry was performed to examine the ploidy of 25 fresh bladder specimens of patients with CG resected during operation, 13 high risk type and 12 low risk type, and 7 specimens of normal mucosa of bladder, by calculating the DNA index (DI). Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), mutant p53, p21ras, Rb, and bcl-2 in other 38 preserved specimens of CG resected during operation, 18 high risk type and 20 low risk type, and 5 specimens of normal bladder. RESULTS: The DI was 1.00 +/- 0.03 in the normal bladder group, 1.05 +/- 0.07 in the high risk type CG group, and 1.01 +/- 0.05 in the low risk type CG, without significant differences between any 2 groups (t = -1.639, P = 0.115). The expression of PCNA and expression of p53 were negative in the low risk group, and PCNA was expressed in 5 specimens of high risk type CG (27.8%), and not expressed in the low risk type CG (P = 0.017). p53 was expressed in 4 specimens of high risk type CG (22.2%), and not expressed in the low risk type CG (P = 0.041). There were no significant differences in the expression of p21, Rb, and bcl-2 between the high and low risk groups. CONCLUSION: High risk type and low risk type of CG are both benign lesions. High risk type CG may be more likely to cancerate. It is reasonable to distinguish different types of CG. p53 gene may play an important role in the canceration of CG.

BACKGROUND: The Uzbek version of the Acute Cystitis Symptom Score (ACSS) was developed as a simple self-reporting questionnaire to improve diagnosis and therapy of women with acute cystitis (AC). The purpose of this work was to validate the ACSS in the German language. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The ACSS consists of 18 questions in four subscales: (1) typical symptoms, (2) differential diagnosis, (3) quality of life, and (4) additional circumstances. Translation of the ACSS into German was performed according to international guidelines. For the validation process 36 German-speaking women (age: 18-90 years), with and without symptoms of AC, were included in the study. Classification of participants into two groups (patients or controls) was based on the presence or absence of typical symptoms and significant bacteriuria (≥ 10(3) CFU/ml). Statistical evaluations of reliability, validity, and predictive ability were performed. ROC curve analysis was performed to assess sensitivity and specificity of ACSS and its subscales. The Mann-Whitney's U test and t-test were used to compare the scores of the groups. RESULTS: Of the 36 German-speaking women (age: 40 ± 19 years), 19 were diagnosed with AC (patient group), while 17 women served as controls. Cronbach's α for the German ACSS total scale was 0.87. A threshold score of ≥ 6 points in category 1 (typical symptoms) significantly predicted AC (sensitivity 94.7%, specificity 82.4%). There were no significant differences in ACSS scores in patients and controls compared to the original Uzbek version of the ACSS. CONCLUSION: The German version of the ACSS showed a high reliability and validity. Therefore, the German version of the ACSS can be reliably used in clinical practice and research for diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of patients suffering from AC.

The present work was intended to be a revision of our series of Eosinophilic Cystitis and we have found that, from one single anatomicopathological picture three different clinical pictures emerge with different treatments and prognosis. Group I is constituted by young people and children with a profuse background of atopy and parasitosis, which develop mictional syndrome and haematuria and show good response to steroids. Group II includes middle-aged women, with development of chronic recurrent cystopaty and a poor response to treatment. Group III comprises elderly patients with a history of vesical injury or chronic vesical irritation, with no separate clinical signs and symptoms and requiring no treatment.

Chronic cystitis was diagnosed in 36% of children with neuromuscular ureteral dysplasia, in 69% of those with vesicoureteral reflux, in 42% of girls with urolithiasis. Recurrent inflammation was registered in 96, 11% of patients with fibrinous cystitis and catarrhal cystitis, respectively, and in 62% of girls with bullous cystitis. Histological examination of 130 biopsies of bladder mucosa from girls with frequent recurrences of chronic cystitis provided a clear morphological picture of each endoscopic cystitis form. In bullous cystitis there are 2 congenital variants of mucosal structure: overdevelopment of lymphoid tissue as massive lymphoid follicules and lymphangioectatic form. Catarrhal cystitis is characterized by vascular angiomatosis. All the patients with fibrinous cystitis had squamous cell epithelial metaplasia. Morphological findings evidence that fibrinous cystitis is the most severe and unfavorable form of cystitis, bullous cystitis is less severe while catarrhal cystitis is favorable.

Transurethral resection material from a series of 64 patients with classical (ulcer) interstitial cystitis (60 women and 4 men, with a mean age of 64 years), 44 with nonulcer interstitial cystitis (40 women and 4 men, with a mean age of 39 years) and 20 control women (mean age 49 years) were studied by light microscopy. Patients with classical disease had mucosal ulceration and hemorrhage, granulation tissue, intense inflammatory infiltrate, elevated mast cell counts and perineural infiltrates. Patients with nonulcer disease, despite the same severe symptoms, had a relatively unaltered mucosa with a sparse inflammatory response, the main feature being multiple, small, mucosal ruptures and suburothelial hemorrhages that were noted in a high proportion of the patients. It is suggested that these features are characteristic, specific and prevalent enough to allow for morphological differentiation of the 2 clinical subtypes of interstitial cystitis.

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the urinary bladder of unknown aetiology and pathogenesis. The classic form (Hunner's ulcer) is characterized by high mast cell numbers in the detrusor muscle and an expansion of mucosal mast cells in the lamina propria and also in the epithelium. Such cells can be recovered in bladder washings and in the urine in single cell suspensions. We have counted the mast cells and measured the histamine in bladder washings from 16 patients with classic IC and from a control group of 15 patients with so-called early, non-ulcerative IC. The bladder washings from all patients with classic IC contained well preserved mast cells (median 2.16, range 0.5-8.6 x 10(3) cells/I) and histamine (median 14.3, range 6-66 ng/l), while only occasional mast cells and traces of histamine were found in washings from patients with non-ulcerative IC. The histamine content was strongly correlated to the number of mast cells (r = 0.87). The mean histamine content per mast cell was estimated at 7.6 +/- 0.65 (SEM) pg/cell. The high histamine content per mast cell in relation to previously published data (2.8-4.6 pg/cell) can be attributed to the mild and rapid handling of the specimens.

Painful bladder disease is an ill-defined disease presenting with chronic cystitis symptoms, despite sterile urine. This report includes only patients with painful bladder diseases of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. We have chosen to classify these patients pathoanatomically as follows: interstitial cystitis, detrusor myopathy, chronic unspecific cystitis and eosinophilic cystitis. The pathoanatomical appearance of the four groups of patients are described in details and certain clinical differences appear between the groups. The etiology and pathogenesis to the inflammatory reactions and muscle changes found in the detrusor biopsies are unknown, but many theories exist. It is suggested that something in the urine gains access to the bladder wall and initiates the pathoanatomical changes through a defective urothelium and glycosaminoglycans layer. In the interstitial cystitis patients, the inflammatory process and mast cell degranulation might be monitored by the urinary excretion of 1,4-methyl-imidazole-acetic acid and eosinophil cationic protein. It is concluded that no specific therapy for the disease exists, since etiology and pathogenesis are still unknown and therefore future research in this field is very important.
