In order to study the association between lower urinary tract infection and cystitis glandularis (CG), 120 cases of CG were diagnosed by cystoscopic biopsy in the suspicious foci of the bladder. Among them, 72 cases were subjected to bacterial counting culture of urine and microscopic examination of urinary sediment, and 60 cases to fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) assay to detect HPV, CMV and HSV DNA in urine samples. In the 72 cases of CG, the positive rate of bacterial counting culture of urine was 15.3% (11/72), and gray zone rate was 18.1% (13/72). 31.9% (23/72) patients were positive in bacterioscopy of urinary sediment. There was statistically significant difference as compared with the control group (P<0.01). Only 4 of 60 urine samples were positive by FQ-PCR in detection of the three viruses mentioned above with the positive rate being 6.67%. Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference (P>0.05). It was concluded that the genesis of CG was closely correlated with the chronic lower urinary tract infection, especially caused by Esch coli.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in patients with diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, UTI is more severe, more often caused by resistant pathogens, and produces worse outcomes in those with diabetes mellitus. Although some patients may have altered clinical signs, symptoms of UTI are similar in patients with or without diabetes mellitus. Treatment depends on severity of systemic symptoms, results of urine culture, and underlying diseases of patients. There are no definite indications to treat asymptomatic bacteriuria in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Objective To verify the relationship between catheter-related urinary tract infection(CAUTI)and stress hyperglycemia during catheter retention in stroke patients. Methods We used nosocomial infection monitoring system to track the status of CAUTI in stroke patients in a hospital.The study cohort was all the patients who received retention catheterization from January 2016 to March 2020.According to the nested case-control design,multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship between stress hyperglycemia and CAUTI in stroke patients with indwelling catheter. Results A total of 322 cases of CAUTI and 644 cases of non-CAUTI were enrolled in this study.The length of stay in the case group was(20.68 ± 3.73)d,significantly longer than that[(13.00 ± 4.01)d]in the control group(t=29.473,P <0.001).Compared with non-stress hyperglycemia,stress hyperglycemia posed a higher risk of CAUTI in the stroke patients with indwelling catheter(OR=2.020,95% CI=1.447-2.821,P=0.000)and led to the higher incidence of CAUTI in one thousand days(P<0.001). Conclusion Stress hyperglycemia in the stroke patients with indwelling catheter can significantly increase the risk of CAUTI.

To study the relationship between bacterial infection and the etiology of cystitis glandularis, 36 female Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups. No intervention was given to the rats in the blank group. NS was infused into the bladder of the rats of the control group, and solution containing E. coli was injected into the bladder of experimental group. Three months later, tissue samples of bladder were collected and observed visually and under light microscope. The results showed that tissues of the blank group were normal; one sample in the control group showed Brunn's nests and cystitis cystica, and 10 in the experimental group had the change of cystitis glandularis. Compared to the blank and control group, samples in the experimental group showed significant change (P<0.05). There were no significant difference between blank group and control group (P>0.05). It is concluded that bladder instillation of E. coli can induce cystitis glandularis, which confirms that infection is the cause of cystitis glandularis.

To evaluate the preoperative high risk factors in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia. a score system has been devised which includes associated medical diseases and urologic complications such as urinary retention. urinary tract infection and uremia. A score of one to three was given for each high risk factor. The patients with a total score of one to three of each risk factor were regarded as grade I, four to six as grade II and more than seven as grade III. According to this score and grade system, the high grade group showed the high incidence of postoperative complications and morbidity. So. the more careful preoperative evaluations and postoperative cares might be needed in the high risk patients. On the base of this analysis, if more further studies will be performed. we may expect that we have achieved low mortality and morbidity rates even in high operative risk patients.

Frontometaphyseal dysplasia is an uncommon genetic syndrome affecting bone and connective tissue. This condition is characterized by the prominence of supraorbital ridges, hyperostosis of the skull, mandibular hypoplasia and malocclusion with antegonial notching, underdeveloped paranasal flaring of the long bone, and a widened iliac wing. Frontometaphyseal dysplasia has an X-linked dominant trait. Clinical manifestations are more severe in males and have extreme variability in females. We present an 11-year-old boy who had frontometaphyseal dysplasia with disfigured face due to bilaterally urinary tract malformation and chronic urinary tract infection. To improve facial appearance, his prominent supraorbital ridges were contoured by ostectomy and burring through bicoronal incision. Urologic operation was performed simultaneously. Histologically, resected bony specimen revealed bony tissue with normal trabecular pattern suggesting exostotic bone. The patient healed without any postoperative complications and he and his parents were satisfied with his final facial morphology.

This study was undertaken to compare the complications of outside-in transobturator tape procedures (TOT) and inside-out transobturator tape procedures (TVT-O) with concomitant gynecologic surgery for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). A retrospective review of 206 consecutive patients who underwent either TOT or TVT-O with concomitant gynecologic operations between March 2008 and February 2011 was conducted. The incidence of perioperative complications was compared. For statistical analysis, chi-squared tests were used. There were no reports of intraoperative complications such as vaginal injury or bladder perforation. Postoperative complications were noted in 23 procedures (11.2%). These included 6 cases of urinary retention (2.9%), 2 cases of vulva hematoma (1.0%), 7 cases of urinary tract infection (3.4%), 4 cases of de novo urgency (2.9%), and 4 cases of vaginal erosion (2.9%). There were no significant differences in complication rates between the two groups. Our results suggest that inside-out and outside-in procedures are simple and safe techniques that may have a low rate of complications when used with a concomitant gynecologic operation.

PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of warm water sitz baths in patients who have undergone transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) owing to lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the records of 1,783 patients who had undergone TURP between 2001 and 2009. In the warm water sitz bath group, patients were instructed to sit in a tub containing lukewarm water at 40-45degrees C for 10 minutes each time. Patients were advised to perform the procedure for at least 5 days immediately after the removal of a Foley urethral catheter. The differences in post-TURP complications between the warm water sitz bath group and the no sitz bath group were compared. RESULTS: After TURP, 359 of the 1,561 patients performed a warm water sitz bath. Complications after TURP, such as hemorrhage, urinary tract infection, urethral stricture, and acute urinary retention were found in 19 (5.3%) and 75 (6.2%) patients in the sitz bath and no sitz bath groups, respectively (p=0.09). There was a significant difference in postoperative complications such as urethral stricture between the warm sitz bath group and the no sitz bath group (p=0.04). The group that did not undergo warm water sitz bath treatment showed a 1.13-fold increased risk of rehospitalization within 1 month after TURP due to postoperative complications compared with the warm water sitz bath group (odds ratio [OR]=1.134; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.022 to 1.193; p=0.06). CONCLUSIONS: Warm water sitz bath treatment reduced postoperative complications such as urethral stricture. These results suggest that large-scale prospective studies are needed to establish an ideal method and optimal duration of sitz baths.

PURPOSE: The purpose of present study is to analyze the incidence and the predisposing factors for postoperative complications that diabetes mellitus (DM) patients suffer after undergoing total hip arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Among the 379 patients who underwent primary cementless total hip arthroplasty from September 1998 to February 2007, fifty-nine patients (62 hips) who had DM were selected and the other 320 patients (378 hips) without DM were set as a control group to perform comparative analysis. The mean follow up period was 36 months (range, 12-117 months) and the mean age of patients was 55.5 years (range, 16-79 years). The preoperative and annual postoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the postoperative complications were checked. We analyzed the factors that were associated with the incidence of postoperative complications in DM patients. RESULTS: The DM group had a higher incidence of urinary tract infection and a longer admission period than did non-DM group (p=0.001 and p=0.002). The HHS was 52 and 53 (p=0.185), respectively, for the DM patients and the non-DM patients preoperatively, and it was 93 and 95 (p=0.467), respectively, at the last follow up. The predisposing factors for postoperative complications in DM patients are a high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level and comorbidities. CONCLUSION: Total hip arthroplasty in DM patients is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative complications and a prolonged admission period. A high HbA1c level and comorbidities are considered to have significant associations with these complications.
