Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2015;37(7):528-530
Objective To investigate the utility of urodynamic testing in the evaluation of neurogenic vesicoureteral reflux in patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injury at the T10 to L2 level.Methods Twenty-six patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injury at the T10 to L2 level and who displayed vesicoureteral reflux were enrolled and divided into a detrusor hyper-reflexia group (n =21) and a detrusor a-reflexia group (n =5)according to their cystourethrograms and urodynamic test results.Their bladder volume,detrusor pressure (Pdet) and compliance were observed and analyzed at the vesicoureteral reflux point and the leak point.Results The bladder volume and compliance of the detrusor hyper-reflexia group at the vesicoureteral reflux point were (122.46 ± 87.89) ml and (5.94 ± 4.96) ml/H2 O respectively,significantly different from the detrusor a-reflexia group (P < 0.01).At the leak point,the average bladder volume of the detrusor hyper-reflexia group was (210.81 ± 69.72)ml,while the average bladder compliance was (9.53 ± 5.43)ml/H2O and the average detrusor pressure was (42.29 ± 9.57)cm H2O.All were significantly different from the detrusor a-reflexia group's averages.Moreover,there was a significant difference in the Pdet between the leak point and the vesicoureteral reflux points in the detrusor hyper-reflexia group.Conclusions Patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injuries at the T10 to L2 level with neurogenic bladder and detrusor hyper-reflexia have low bladder volumes and compliance,and vesicoureteral reflux tends to occur at an early stage after injury with a destrusor pressure lower than 40 cm H2 O.For patients with detrusor a-reflexia,vesicoureteral reflux and bladder leakage may occur when detrusor pressure is low.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cel s (MSCs) can be differentiated into vascular endothelial cel s to construct ideal blood vessel grafts in vitro that have wide prospective utility in the clinical treatment of ischemic diseases, vascular engineering and regeneration medicine.
OBJECTIVE:To review the recent research progress and related issue in biological characteristics of MSCs as wel as differentiation of MSCs isolated from different sources into vascular endothelial cel s.
METHODS:The first authors retrieved PubMed, Sciencedirect and Medline databases for relevant articles published from January 2000 to June 2015. The key words were“mesenchymal stem cel s;vascular endothelial cel;cel differentiation”in English. Initial y, 156 articles were retrieved, and final y 51 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The MSCs sources are abundant. The research about bone marrow-derived MSCs is the earliest and maximum, but with the increasing donor age, their proliferation and differentiation ability decreases. MSCs from umbilical cord, placenta and amniotic membrane are easy to obtain, and meanwhile both neonatal and maternal does not feel any pain and psychological burden. Given these, these cel s are more acceptable for recipients, and there are no ethical, moral and legal disputes. MSCs from the umbilical cord blood are abundant with weak cel immunogenicity and low viral and bacterial contamination probability. However, the clinical application of amniotic fluid marrow-derived MSCs is limited because of its sampling methods.
