Urodynamics describes a collection of tests designed to evaluate lower urinary tract function and can be performed using retrograde filling of the bladder within a room. In this study, we designed and calibrated the potable urodynamics monitoring system using DSP chip (TMS320VC33, Texas InstrumentTM, U.S.) and obtained signals of bladder(Pves) and bladder neck pressure(Pneck) and EMG using calibration kit (DPT9022K0122, MedtronicsTM, U.s,). This system monitor spontaneous urination during daily life and can make patients more comportable.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether postoperative cystography findings can predict early and longterm recovery from incontinence after radical prostatectomy (RP), compared with the other cystography parameters. Methods: I retrospectively reviewed 118 patients who underwent robot-assisted RP (RARP) for localized prostate cancer at single institution between January 2016 and April 2021. One hundred and seven patients were included in the study. Postoperative cystography was routinely performed 7 days after surgery. The bladder neck to pubic symphysis ratio, vesicourethral angle, and bladder neck anteroposterior length (BNAP) ratio (the bladder neck-posterior margin distances divided by the anteroposterior lengths) were evaluated. Continence was defined as cessation of pad use. The association between these variables and urinary incontinence was also analyzed. Results: The urinary incontinence recovery rates 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after RARP were 43.92%, 66.35%, 87.85%, and 97.19%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that a lower BNAP ratio and wider vesicourethral angle were significantly associated with continence restoration at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. In addition, in terms of days of pad usage, lower BNAP ratio, wider vesicourethral angle, and bladder neck preservation were significantly associated with recovery from urinary incontinence within 12 months as assessed by Cox proportional hazard analysis. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that vesicourethral angle and BNAP ratio were independent predictors of early recovery from post-prostatectomy incontinence. I suggest that both the sagittal and coronal views of postoperative cystography help anticipate early continence restoration after RARP.

A 14-year-old, spayed female, poodle was presented with dysuria and hematuria. A mass that appeared hypoechoic on ultrasound and hypoattenuating on computed tomography (CT) extended from the bladder neck to the urethra. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the mass invading the muscular layer of the bladder, urethra, and prostate with distinct margins. Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) was confirmed with the CADET-BRAF test. This study describes the CT and MRI features of suspected TCC lesions involving the bladder, prostate, and urethra. MRI showed superior soft tissue contrast resolution, enabling evaluation of invasion of the muscular layer of the bladder and urethra.

난소를 제거한 57개월령의 golden retrieve개가 심한 배뇨실금을 나타내며 양측성 요관이소증으로, 좌측에는 통상적인 새요관개구술(neoureterostomy)로 방광삼각지대에 새로운 요관개구부를 만들었고 방광목에 위치한 우측요관의 개구부는 그 부위를 확장만 시킴으로써 수술 후 배뇨실금 증상을 교정할 수 있었다. 방광목확장개구수술방법은 본 증례에서 처음으로 개에 시도되어 좋은 수술결과를 나타내었고 요관개구부가 방광목인 이소증 치료에 효과가 있을 것으로 생각되며 지속적인 임상적용과 관찰이 요구된다.

방광암의 림프절 전이는 방광의 림프순환에서 처음과 두 번째로 거쳐 가는 외/내 장골, 폐쇄림프절과 총장골림프절에서 주로 일어난다. 방광암에서 횡격막을 넘어서 일어나는 전이는 드물고, 두경부로의 전이는 예후가 좋지 않으며 생존율도 낮다. 방광요로상피암 환자에서 뼈나 그 외에 고형장기로의 전이 없이 목 피부의 염증성 변화와 함께 림프절전이를 동반하는 것은 드문 증례이므로 이에 보고하고자 한다.

Purpose: We compared a transperineal ligation model and a transperitoneal ligation model in male rats to determine which animal model of overactive bladder (OAB) was more useful based on cystometrography, estimations of oxidative stress, and measurements of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Materials and Methods: Male rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=15 in each): the control group, the transperineal ligation group, and the transperitoneal ligation group. Four weeks after the ligation procedure, cystometrography was performed and oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and histologic changes were evaluated. Oxidative stress was assessed by measuring 8-hydroxy-20-deoxyguanosine and superoxide dismutase, and pro-inflammatory cytokine activity was investigated by measuring levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$. Results: The transperineal model led to results similar to those observed for the transperitoneal model, namely (1) increased voiding frequency and reductions in the non-voiding contraction interval and the maximal vesical pressure, (2) increased levels of oxidative stress markers, (3) increased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and (4) fibrotic changes in the bladder tissue. Conclusions: We suggest that the transperineal procedure can be used as an alternative OAB model in male rats.

By far, the largest known preventable cause of cancer is cigarette smoking. The percentage of cancer deaths in Korea due to tobacco is still increasing. Smoking cigarette at an early age has become more common among women. Tobacco consumption is related causally to cancer to the lung, mouth, larynx, esophagus, bladder, kidney, uterine cervix, and pancreas. Recently, several studies demonstrated that there is very strong correlation between cigarette smoking and p53 mutations in lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and bladder cancer. The recent findings of cigarette smoking and cancer, p53 and bcl-2 mutations, adverse effects of smoking on the effects of radiotherapy, and benefits of quitting will be discussed.
