The study involved 107 women aged 20 to 52 years with chronic recurrent cystitis (57 of them with leukoplakia) developing under conditions of a pathogenic and/or opportunistic infection. All patients underwent a conventional clinical and instrumental examination. Biopsy samples for culture-based and microscopic examination were taken from the area of the Pawlik’s trigone of the vagina and the Lieutaud’s trigone of the urinary bladder, in case of leukoplakia — from the field of visually healthy tissue. The carried out cytomorphological analysis and assessment of pathological processes in the adjacent tissues suggest that the infection from the vagina penetrates through the intersynaptic clefts, interstitial cell nests, the blood and lymphatic microcirculatory system into the bladder, causing cystitis inherent changes — from initial morphological forms to rough ones, up to leukoplakia. A complex of clinical, functional and pathomorphological changes that fit into the framework of the chronic cystovaginitis concept was identified.

Beneficial influence is so-called. sexual operations in persons with hypertrophy of prostatae was explained by the advancing atrophy of the last days. But the rapid onset of the result, on the one hand, and the negative data of the microscopic examination of the prostate after the operation, on the other, showed that the atrophy of the prostate was not very good here. In addition to the explanation of this fact, they put a decrease in the congestion of the urinary tract, which was considered an ethological moment for hypertrophy of the prostatae. smyavinoschago duct) on the tone of the sphincteris vesicae, in order to find out in this way partly the clinical significance of these operations.

Cystoisospora belli is a coccidian protozoan that colonizes epithelial cells of the small intestine. Infection occurs by ingestion of parasite oocysts in water or food. Clinical features of infection include watery diarrhoea, dehydration, fever, and weight loss in both immune competent and immune deficient patients. Cystoisospora belli forms tissue cysts that allow for relapses of this infection. Cystoisosporiasis presenting as chronic diarrhoea is an opportunistic infection associated with HIV infection. Diagnosis is by microscopic examination of faecal specimens for C. belli oocysts, which show blue autofluorescence under ultraviolet light. Cystoisospora belli infection, even in patients with AIDS, responds rapidly to treatment with co-trimoxazole.

The authors report a case showing proliferation of KIT- and connexin 43-expressing mesenchymal cells of the urinary bladder. A 75-year-old woman had an ulcerated endophytic mass (size, approximately 2 × 2 cm) in the left posterolateral wall. She underwent transurethral resection and subsequent partial cystectomy. The suburothelial mass extended to the muscularis propria. The histopathological analysis revealed spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells that were loosely arranged with myxoid stroma and showed a focal compact fascicular arrangement. In the immunohistochemical analysis, these spindle cells were stained with specific antibodies to KIT and connexin 43. The patient is currently free of disease at 5 years after operation. The proliferating spindle cells in the present case might represent a phenotype of interstitial cells of the lamina propria.

Mechanical lithotripsy of urinary bladder stones was performed with the RotoLith lithotriptor in 8 pigs with implanted human stones or artificial stones after open cystotomy. The effect of the treatment on the urinary bladder was investigated macro- and microscopically immediately after the lithotripsy in 4 animals and 4 weeks after the lithotripsy in the other 4 animals. The stones were fragmented into very small pieces which would have been possible to pass with the urine. The histopathologic examination immediately after the procedure showed slight mucosal edema, patches of erosions in the mucosa, and minor submucosal bleeding. Microscopic examination of the bladders removed 4 weeks after lithotripsy showed slight chronic inflammation. The experimental results have encouraged us to plan to use this lithotripsy procedure in selected patients with bladder stones.

Abstract Context.—Primary lymphoma of the urinary bladder is rare. Only 84 cases have been reported in the English literature to date, and none of these cases has had molecular confirmation of clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangement. Objectives.—To review all cases with primary urinary bladder lymphoma in our records, to classify them using the REAL classification, to confirm their immunophenotype and genotype, and to determine their outcome. Design.—We identified 4 cases of primary urinary bladder lymphoma in our medical records from a 30-year period. Immunohistochemical detection of immunoglobulin light chains and molecular analysis of immunoglobulin heavy-chain genes using the polymerase chain reaction were performed on paraffin-embedded material. Results.—All patients were older than 60 years. The male-female ratio was 1:3. All patients had a history of chronic cystitis. Histologic features of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma with centrocyte-like cells, plasmacytoid B cells, or both were observed in all cases. Monoclonality of B cells was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction, or both methods in every case. All patients presented with stage IAE disease, were treated with radiotherapy alone, and have been in continuous complete remission for 2 to 13 years. Conclusions.—Primary bladder lymphomas are usually of low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type. They are more common in females and are associated with a history of chronic cystitis. Lymphoepithelial lesions are seen only in association with areas of cystitis glandularis. B-cell clonality is readily demonstrable by immunohistochemistry and/or polymerase chain reaction analysis. Local radiotherapy appears to confer long-term control.
