Multiple Sclerosis Patients

37 patients with multiple sclerosis who had complaints of urination disfunction have been investigated according to Poser criteria. On the basis of clinical and urometric studies (urofluometry) three main disfunctions of urinary bladder were determined. According to the type of urinary tract disfunctions a combination of medicinal preparations had been used. In a month patients of all the three groups had a significant improvement. In patients of the 1-st group urination frequency decreased by 35%, of the 2nd group by 34% and the quantity of residual urine reduced by 48%. In patients of the 3rd group quantity of residual urine came close to a norm, being decreased by 55%.

✓ The authors report over 100 sacral root blocks performed in 50 patients with detrusor activation by air cystometry. The detrusor reflex was abolished with unilateral sacral blocks in over 50% of the patients. The nerve roots most frequently innervating the bladder were S-3 and S-4. Most of these patients suffered from multiple sclerosis and had spinal cord involvement. The possible pathophysiology and its significance regarding urinary bladder innervation is discussed.

Cytoskeletal System

The amphibian urinary bladder has been used as a ‘model’ system for studies of the mechanism of action of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in stimulating transepithelial water flow. The increase in water permeability is accompanied by morphological changes that include the stimulation of apical microvilli, mobilization of microtubules and microfilaments and vesicular membrane fusion events . It has been shown that alterations in the cytosolic calcium concentrations can inhibit ADH transmembrane water flow and induce alterations in the epithelial cell cytomorphology, including the cytoskeletal system . Recently, the subapical granules of the granular cell in the amphibian urinary bladder have been shown to contain high concentrations of calcium, and it was suggested that these cytoplasmic constituents may act as calcium storage sites for intracellular calcium homeostasis. The present study utilizes the calcium antagonist, verapamil, to examine the effect of calcium deprivation on the cytomorphological features of epithelial cells from amphibian urinary bladder, with particular emphasis on subapical granule and microfilament distribution.
