RESUMO

AIM: This study examined whether levetiracetam contributes to improvements in the axon-nerve damage in an experimental rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-eight Wistar albino adult male rats weighing 250-300 gr were randomized into six groups having or not having sciatic nerve damages and receiving different (none, 300 and 600 mg/kg) levetiracetam doses, and control (non-levetiracetam). Functional gait analysis and tissue sample analysis with the aid of light microscopy and hematoxylin-eosin dye were evaluated between the groups. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used for the detailed examination of sciatic nerves. S-100 (Schwann cell marker) immunoreactivities in sciatic nerve was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Sciatic functional index of the injured rats receiving 300 mg/kg levetiracetam was -65.59 ± 29.48 and -47.13 ± 21.36 in the 2nd and 6th weeks, respectively (p < 0.001). Also, IMA and TOS levels were significantly higher in the control group compared to those receiving levetiracetam (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively).      The most significant nerve regeneration was in the group injured and treated with LEV 600 mg/kg (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: There was a significant improvement in the sciatic functional index, histopathological findings, and parameters showing tissue oxidant status in rats with sciatic nerve injury receiving levetiracetam treatment. Further investigations should be performed to evaluate the contribution of levetiracetam as a treatment modality in sciatic nerve injuries.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Urinary incontinence is a severe and common health problem. In this study, we aimed to assess severity of sexual dysfunction and depression in patients with urinary incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study has been conducted between 2015 and 2017. Age, body mass index, accompanying health problems, Over Active Bladder (OAB) symptom score, Type of urinary incontinence, Beck Depression Scale were assessed for all PATIENTS: International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) was used for male patients in order to assess sexual dysfunction. Index of Female Sexual Function (IFSF) and Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS) were used in female patients in order to assess sexual dysfunction. RESULTS: 33 patients have been included in the study (Male-12: Urge-10/Stress-1/Mixed-1/Female-21: Urge-10/Stress-6/Mixed-5). Mean age of all patients was 47.9 (Male-49.3/Female-47.2). Mean Body Mass Index for all patients was 23.2 (Male-25.9/Female-21.8). Mean OAB score was 24.3 for all patients (Male-27.5: Urge-28.6/Stress-17/Mixed-27/Female-22.5: Urge-24.2/Stress:21.3/Mixed-20.6). Mean Beck Depression Result for all patients was 20.9 (Male-18.5: Urge-20.2/Stress-9/Mixt-11/Female-22.4: Urge-19.1/Stress-20.3/Mixed-31.6). Mean IIEF-5 score for male patients was 39.5 (Urge-41.4/Stress-55/Mixed-5). Mean IFSF score for female patients was 19.9 (Urge-17.9/Stress-21.3/Mixed-22.4) and mean FSDS score for female patients was 22.1 (Urge-22.3/Stress-23.1/Mixed-20.8). DISCUSSION: Most of the patients that have been included in the study were diagnosed as urge incontinence. When assessing the OAB scores, they were higher in urge incontinence group. Beck depression results showed higher scores in female patients and it was higher in urge group of male patients and mixt group of female PATIENTS: Sexual dysfunction rates were found to be higher for both genders


INTRODUCCIÓN: La incontinencia urinaria es un problema de salud grave y frecuente. En este estudio se pretende evaluar la gravedad de la disfunción sexual y la depresión en pacientes con incontinencia urinaria. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: El estudio se ha realizado entre 2015 y 2017. Edad, índice de masa corporal, problemas de salud concomitantes, puntuación de los síntomas de vejiga hiperactiva, tipo de incontinencia urinaria y escala de depresión de Beck fueron evaluados en todos los PACIENTES: El índice internacional de la función eréctil 5 (IIEF-5) fue utilizado en los pacientes varones para determinar la disfunción sexual. El índice de la función sexual femenina (IFSF) y la escala sexual femenina de la señal de socorro (FSDS, por sus siglas en inglés) fueron utilizados en pacientes mujeres para determinar la disfunción sexual. RESULTADOS: Treinta y tres pacientes han sido incluidos en el estudio (varones: 12, ganas: 10, estrés: 1 y mixto: 1; mujeres: 21, ganas: 10, estrés: 6 y mixto: 5). La media de edad de todos los pacientes era de 47,9 (varones: 49,3 y mujeres: 47,2) años. El índice de masa corporal promedio de todos los pacientes fue de 23,2 (varones: 25,9 y mujeres: 21,8). La media de puntuación de vejiga hiperactiva en todos los pacientes fue de 24,3 (varones: 27,5, ganas: 28,6, estrés: 17 y mixto: 27; mujeres: 22,5, ganas: 24,2, estrés: 21,3 y mixto: 20,6). Los resultados de la media de Beck para la depresión de todos los pacientes fue de 20,9 (varones: 18,5, ganas: 20,2, estrés: 9 y mixto: 11; mujeres: 22,4, ganas: 19,1, estrés: 20,3 y mixto: 31,6). La puntuación media IIEF-5 para pacientes varones fue de 39,5 (ganas: 41,4, estrés: 55 y mixto: 5). La puntuación media IFSF para pacientes mujeres fue de 19,9 (ganas: 17,9, estrés: 21,3 y mixto: 22,4) y la puntuación media FSDS para pacientes mujeres fue de 22,1 (ganas: 22,3, estrés: 23,1 y mixto: 20,8). DISCUSIÓN: La mayoría de los pacientes que han sido incluidos en el estudio fueron diagnosticados con incontinencia de urgencia. A la hora de evaluar las puntuaciones de vejiga hiperactiva fueron más altos en el grupo de incontinencia. Los resultados de la media de Beck para la depresión mostraron puntuaciones más elevadas en pacientes mujeres y fue mayor en el grupo de pacientes varones con ganas y en el grupo de pacientes mujeres con mixto. Las tasas de disfunción sexual se encontraron altas en ambos sexos
