Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A(BTX-A)bladder injection in the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity(NDO)with autonomic dysreflexia(AD).Methods:The patients with spinal cord injury at or above T6,who were treated at Guangdong Provincial Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022,were included in this study prospectively. Inclusion criteria:①chronic spinal cord injury patients over 18 years old(with no progression of neurological symptoms within 3 months);② presence of NDO and AD;③ inadequate response or intolerance to oral antimuscarinic agent(M-receptor antagonists or β 3-receptor agonists)④ perform clean intermittent catheterization to empty the bladder. Exclusion criteria:① primary disease in the acute or progressive phase;② previous surgeries that would affect lower urinary tract function,such as transurethral sphincterotomy,bladder neck resection,prostatectomy,or bladder surgery;③ allergy to BTX-A or its adjuvants,or those with allergic predisposition ④ patients who were pregnant,breastfeeding,or planning for pregnancy in the near future;⑤ patients did not accept or were unable to perform intermittent catheterization. Before treatment,all patients were required to maintain 3-5 day urine diary,along with urodynamic studies(UDS),incontinence specific quality of life instrument(I-QOL)and AD symptom severity assessment,and blood pressure monitored. Key UDS parameters recorded included maximum bladder capacity,maximum detrusor pressure during filling phase,changes in maximum systolic blood pressure(SBP)relative to baseline(ΔSBP)during UDS examination,and the frequency of 24-hour blood pressure exceeding baseline by 20 mmHg. After general anesthesia or epidural anesthesia,BTX-A(200 U)was injected into the bladder at 30 points(including the triangle)under the cystoscope using a special injection needle,6.7 U per injection,and then the catheter was kept for 3-5 days after treatment. Three months later,relevant indicators were collected and compared with pre-treatment data. Results:A total of 43 patients were included in this study,including 34 males and 9 females. The age was(39.23±13.17)years old and the disease course was(2.69±3.27)years old. There were 33 cervical and 10 thoracic cases. The American Spinal Injury Association Injury Scale score distribution was as follows:26(60%)A,4(9%)B,9(21%)C,and 4(9%)D. The presence of AD was confirmed in all patients during urodynamic examination(UDS),that was the systolic blood pressure(SBP)suddenly increased and exceeded 20 mmHg(1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa). Before treatment,The AD symptoms severity score(consist of headache,sweating,goose bumps,anxiety and palpitation)were(14.53±2.51),Bladder-related AD frequency was 10.67 episodes/day. Baseline SBP was(103.51±9.64)mmHg,the maximum SBP was(150.40±22.75)mmHg,and the change in SBP(ΔSBP)from maximum to baseline SBP during UDS examination was(43.83±21.01)mmHg. The UDS indicated that the maximum detrusor pressure during storage phase was(54.95±24.68)cmH 2O,and the bladder capacity was(131.70±75.29)ml. Bladder diary showed the volume of catheterization each time from was(181.16±49.86)ml,and The I-QOL score was(44.07±8.60). Three months after treatment,the AD symptoms severity score(consist of headache,sweating,goose bumps,anxiety and palpitation)were(11.37±2.39). The frequency of bladder-related AD episodes was(7.51±2.37)episodes/day,showing statistically significant differences compared to pre-treatment( P<0.05).The SBP before UDS examination was(102.12±10.28)mmHg,with no statistically significant difference from baseline( P = 0.518). The maximum SBP in perfusion phase and the ΔSBP were(132.84±16.30)mmHg and(28.72 ± 14.02)mmHg,respectively,both demonstrating statistically significant differences( P < 0.05). The UDS examination revealed that the maximum detrusor pressure during the storage phase was(29.77±13.72)cmH 2O,showed a significant decrease,and the bladder capacity was(272.63±79.75)ml,which were both statistically different before and after surgery. Bladder diary showed the volume of catheterization each time was(326.74±63.71)ml;I-QOL score was(71.86±11.45),both were significant different after treatment( P < 0.01). Conclusion:BTX-A intravesical injection in the treatment of NDO can also alleviate the severity and frequency of bladder related AD.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the major diseases that harmful to healthy elderly, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the early clinical stage of AD. There is a lag in the clinical diagnosis of both diseases. An objective and reliable auxiliary diagnostic method is urgently needed to provide early diagnosis and differential indicators for AD and MCI, to predict the probability of individuals suffering from AD and MCI transforming into AD, and to reduce the overall incidence of AD and reduce the huge medical and economic burden for the country and society. Event-related potential is widely used in AD and MCI, and the resolution at the millisecond level can truly reflect the time course of cognitive processing and the degree of impairment of cognitive function in patients. In this study, we investigated the differences in the amplitude and latency of ERP components in healthy elderly, MCI and AD patients, and the correlation between ERP components and cognitive impairment. Early N170 and P200 showed high sensitivity and specificity in differentiating MCI from healthy elderly or MCI from AD. The late perception-related ERPs also showed high sensitivity and specificity in differentiating healthy elderly from MCI/AD. The differences in ERPs between MCI and AD may be related to the etiology, the degree of disease progression and the site of brain damage. The specific brain mechanism still need to be further explored and will be the focus of future research. With the progress of the research, the relationship between the specific ERP manifestations and the mechanism of brain injury as well as the impairment of cognitive function will be more clear. It is believed that the application of ERP in clinical will bring more benefits to AD and its early clinical MCI.
