72-year-old woman with vaginal bleeding Sagittal fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 10.18.1) demonstrate an ill-defined mass in the endometrial cavity that extends into the myometrium of the uterine fundus superiorly and protrudes into the lower uterine segment. There are multiple round, T2-hypointense fibroids within the uterine body and fundus. Notice the bulky, heterogeneously enhancing mass centered in the vagina and extending anteriorly to encase the urethra and bladder base and abutting the rectum posteriorly.

Inflammatory Changes

Acute renal failure due to bilateral ureteral obstruction is a rare complication after appendectomy in children. We report a case of bilateral ureteric obstruction in a 14-year-old boy nine days after surgery for an acute appendicitis. After saline-filling of the urinary bladder, transabdominal ultrasound demonstrated bilateral hydronephrosis of moderate degree. No abscess was found with CT but presence of millimetric stones on both distal ureters was shown, with bilateral calyceal dilatation. Cystoscopy revealed inflammatory changes in the bladder base. Following introduction of bilateral ureteric stents, there was rapid normalisation of urinary output and serum creatinine.

α1-adrenoceptor (AR) antagonists can provide effective treatment of symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, their mechanisms of action have not been fully elucidated. We previously reported that chronic administration of doxazosin causes an up-regulation in the mRNA expression of all three α1-AR subtypes in the rat prostate. As α1-AR antagonists might also affect the properties of α1-ARs in the lower urinary tract, we examined the effects of doxazosin (2 or 4 mg/kg daily subcutaneously, supplemented with 4 mg/kg daily orally for 8 or 12 weeks) on α1-AR subtype mRNAs in the rat bladder dome, bladder base, and urethra using real-time reverse transcription PCR. Rats that received the highest doses of doxazosin had significantly heavier bladder base and prostatic urethra than controls. PCR data showed that all three α1-AR subtypes were expressed in all tissues studied. Doxazosin treatment caused an up-regulation in the mRNA levels of α1A-AR in the rat bladder base and prostatic urethra, indicating that chronic doxazosin treatment may cause an alteration in the properties of α1A-AR subtype mRNA in these two areas. Furthermore, the heavier bladder base and prostatic urethra in the doxazosin-treated rats suggest that α1-AR antagonist treatment might also influence the growth process in these areas of the rat lower urinary tract.Key words: α1-adrenoceptor, doxazosin, bladder, urethra.
