        Effects of Age and Multiple Vaginal Births on Lower Urinary Tract Structure and Function in Nonhuman Primates

        J. Koudy Williams,Karl-Erik Andersson,Shannon Lankford,Gopal Badlani 대한배뇨장애요실금학회 2023 International Neurourology Journal Vol.27 No.1

        Purpose: The relative roles of urinary sphincter damage, aging, and childbirth in stress urinary incontinence (SUI), have not been established. This study was performed to elucidate the roles of these factors. Methods: The study included: (1) 8 female cynomolgus monkeys (17–19 years of age and 7–8 vaginal births each); (2) six 5-yearold nulliparous monkeys with surgically created chronic urinary sphincter dysfunction; and (3) six 5-year-old, nulliparous, nosurgery controls. Sedated abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP) and maximum urethral sphincter pressures (MUP) were measured. Sphincters, bladders, and pelvic support muscles were quantified for collagen content. Additionally, bladders were analyzed for collagen fiber thickness, length, and angle using CT-FIRE analysis of Picrosirius red-stained tissues. Results: Resting MUP values were similar in the controls and older multiparous monkeys (P>0.05). However, aging and multiple births reduced pudendal nerve-stimulated increases in MUP (P<0.05 vs. controls). ALPP values were lower in the older multiparous versus younger groups of monkeys (P<0.05). Sphincter collagen content was greater, and muscle content less, in the injury model (P<0.05 vs. controls). However, these measures were not affected by age and childbirth (P>0.05 vs. young groups). Bladder collagen content was greater, and muscle content less, in the old multiparous monkeys (P<0.05 vs. younger groups). Additionally, collagen fibers were thicker and more angular in the bladders of the older multiparous monkeys than in the other nonhuman primate groups (P<0.05). Pelvic support muscles had higher collagen and lower muscle content in the older multiparous monkeys than in the younger groups of monkeys (P<0.05). Conclusions: SUI, associated with aging and multiple childbirths, appeared to be more strongly associated with bladder dysfunction, reduced pelvic muscle support, and the compensatory response to neural stimulation than with selective urinary sphincter dysfunction.

        Cell Versus Chemokine Therapy Effects on Cell Mobilization to Chronically Dysfunctional Urinary Sphincters of Nonhuman Primates

        J Koudy Williams,Silmi Mariya,Irma Suparto,Shannon S. Lankford,Karl-Erik Andersson 대한배뇨장애요실금학회 2018 International Neurourology Journal Vol.22 No.4

        Purpose: A major question remaining in approaches to tissue engineering and organ replacement is the role of native mobilized native cells in the regeneration process of damaged tissues and organs. The goal of this study was to compare the cell mobilizing effects of the chemokine CXCL12 and cell therapy on the urinary sphincter of nonhuman primates (NHP) with chronic intrinsic urinary sphincter dysfunction. Methods: Either autologous lenti-M-cherry labeled skeletal muscle precursor cells (skMPCs) or CXCL12 were injected directly into the sphincter complex of female NHPs with or without surgery-induced chronic urinary sphincter dysfunction (n=4/treatment condition). All monkeys had partial bone marrow transplantation with autologous lenti-green fluorescent protein (GFP) bone marrow cells prior to treatment. Labeled cells were identified, characterized and quantified using computer- assisted immunohistochemistry 6 months posttreatment. Results: GFP-labeled bone marrow cells (BMCs) were identified in the bone marrow and both BMCs and skMPCs were found in the urinary sphincter at 6-month postinjection. BMCs and skMPCs were present in the striated muscle, smooth muscle, and lamina propria/urothelium of the sphincter tissue. Sphincter injury increased the sphincter content of BMCs when analyzed 6-month postinjection. CXCL12 treatment, but not skMPCs, increased the number of BMCs in all layers of the sphincter complex (P<0.05). CXCL12 only modestly (P=0.15) increased the number of skMPCs in the sphincter complex. Conclusions: This dual labeling methodology now provides us with the tools to measure the relative number of locally injected cells versus bone marrow transplanted cells. The results of this study suggest that CXCL12 promotes mobilization of cells to the sphincter, which may contribute more to sphincter regeneration than injected cells.

        Clinical characteristics and outcomes of obstetric patients transferred directly to intensive care units

        Saad Pirzada,Kimberly Boswell,Jerry Yang,Samantha Asuncion,Fernando Albelo,Amanda Tuchler,Lauren Becker,Allison Lankford,Emad Elsamadicy,Quincy K Tran 대한중환자의학회 2024 Acute and Critical Care Vol.39 No.1

        Background: Medical complications in peripartum patients are uncommon; however, such events in patients already under biological stress can lead to poor outcomes. Often, these patients are transferred to tertiary care centers, but their conditions and outcomes are not well understood. Our study looked at peripartum patients transferred to an intensive care unit (ICU) at an academic quaternary center.Methods: We reviewed charts of adult, non-trauma, interhospital transfer (IHT) peripartum patients sent to an academic quaternary ICU between January 2017 and December 2021. We conducted a descriptive analysis and used multivariable ordinal regression to examine associations of demographic and clinical factors with ICU length of stay (ICU LOS) and hospital length of stay (HLOS).Results: Of 1,794 IHT peripartum patients, 60 (3.2%) were directly transferred to an ICU. The average age was 32 years, with a median Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of 3 (1–4.25) and median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score of 8 (7–12). Respiratory failure was most common (32%), followed by postpartum hemorrhage (15%) and sepsis (14%). Intubation was required for 24 (41%), and 4 (7%) needed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Only 1 (1.7%) died, while 45 (76.3%) were discharged. Median ICU LOS and HLOS were 5 days (2–12) and 8 days (5–17). High SOFA was linked to longer HLOS, as was APACHE II score.Conclusions: Transfers of critically ill peripartum patients between hospitals were rare but involved severe medical conditions. Despite this, their outcomes were generally positive. Larger studies are needed to confirm our findings.
