Este estudo teve por objetivos analisar a experiência do cateterismo vesical intermitente por crianças e adolescentes portadores de bexiga neurogênica e suas mães, bem como analisar os fatores limitantes e facilitadores para o autocateterismo vesical intermitente nessas crianças e adolescentes na realidade das suas vidas cotidianas. No referencial teórico, buscamos a compreensão dessa construção da realidade, do cuidar/cuidado humano como uma questão de cidadania e valorização da vida nesse cotidiano, e a educação em saúde como uma prática de enfermagem para a valorização do cuidar cuidado. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, aplicando as representações sociais como categoria de análise. Para a coleta dos dados, utilizamos os prontuários das crianças, formulário com questões semi-estruturadas, entrevista e diário de campo. A análise dos dados baseou-se em aspectos da hermenêutica dialética. A interposição das categorias empíricas com o referencial teórico fez emergir dimensões que mostraram esses atores sociais pertencentes a um contexto micro e macro social que determinam o seu modo de agir na e para a vida. A realidade no dia-a-dia das crianças, adolescentes e respectivas mães revelou-se em seis categorias empíricas: “CVI – corpo e sexualidade em evidência" e “CVI – conformação e relutância" são as categorias empíricas que traduzem as falas das crianças e adolescentes; “A responsabilização materna", “A agenda da vida", “O enfrentamento" e “A acomodação/compartilha" são as categorias empíricas que surgiram das falas das mães. Nessas seis categorias, revelam-se importantes elementos limitantes e facilitadores à experiência de cuidar da vida e, conseqüentemente, à experiência do autocateterismo pelas crianças e adolescentes. Cabe aos profissionais de saúde e em especial ao enfermeiro uma atitude solidária, num esquema de co-responsabilidade por meio da educação em saúde, que deverá ser desenvolvida como um processo emancipatório que, além do enfoque biológico, dê importância considerável aos aspectos ligados à vida cotidiana e amplie a consciência de cidadania desses atores sociais para viverem de modo mais pleno nos seus limiares próprios. / This study is aimed at analyzing the experience of intermittent vesical catheterism of children and adolescents with neurogenic bladders and their mothers, as well as analyzing limiting and facilitating factors for intermittent vesical autocatheterism in these children and adolescents in their daily lives. As for theoretical referentials, we sought to understand this construction of reality in human care as a matter of citizenship and valorization of life in this daily life; moreover, the health education as nursing practice on these values were the theoretical reference used in this study. This research is of a qualitative nature applying social representations as an analysis category. For data collection, we used children's reference books, forms with semi-structured questions, interviews and field diaries. The data analysis was based on aspects of dialectic hermeneutics. The interposition of empirical categories with the theoretical basis led to the appearance of dimensions which showed these social actors belonging to a micro- and macro-social context which determines their way of acting in and for life. The children's, adolescents' and their mothers' daily reality was revealed through six empirical categories: “CVI – body and sexuality in evidence" and “CVI – conformation and reluctance" are empirical categories which translate children's and adolescents' speech; “Maternal responsibility", “Life agenda", “Confrontation" and “Acceptance / sharing" are empirical categories which arose from the mothers' speech. In these six categories, important limiting and facilitating elements for the experience of taking care of life are revealed and, consequently, for autocatheterism by children and adolescents. It is the responsibility of the health professional, and especially of the nurse, to express a supportive attitude in a scheme of co-responsibility by means of health education, which should be developed as an emancipatory process which, besides the biological focus, values the aspects related to daily life and increases the citizenry conscience of these social actors so that they can live more fully according to their own thresholds.

Bladder incontinence in patients who suffer from sacral spinal cord injury can wreak havoc on one's quality of life. A 2012 survey suggests that patients who sustain spinal cord injury prioritize the recovery of bladder function over other faculties. With about 12,000 new spinal cord injury cases reported in the United States each year, finding ways to combat the disabilities that result from lower spinal cord dysfunction should be of utmost importance to the scientific research community. Prior to studying the effects of surgical reinnervation on the bladder after long-term decentralization, it was critical to understand the effects that decentralization had on the integrity of both smooth muscle and intramural nerves of the bladder, the function of which could determine the success of surgical reinnervation. Chapter 2 describes in vivo stimulation, ex vivo smooth muscle contractility studies, and immunohistochemical techniques that were used to assess the condition of the functional components of the bladder. Collective results showed that although pelvic plexus-induced stimulation decreased when decentralization included the bilateral transection of the L7 dorsal root, smooth muscle cells and intramural nerves maintained their function after long-term bladder decentralization. Thus, preservation of at least some nerve activity may allow for successful surgical reinnervation after long-term injury. Following confirmation of smooth muscle and intramural nerve viability after decentralization, we sought to determine if nerve transfer after long-term decentralization restores bladder function in canines. In Chapter 3, we detail both decentralization and surgical reinnervation procedures used in our model. Briefly, decentralization of the bladder included bilateral transection of hypogastric nerves, as well as all spinal roots caudal to L7, with a subset of animals undergoing additional transection of the dorsal root of L7. One year after decentralization, animals that showed consistent loss of sensory and motor function underwent surgical reinnervation, which included the bilateral transfer of part of the obturator nerve to the anterior vesical branch of the pelvic nerve and the semimembranosus branch of the sciatic nerve to the pudendal nerve. Behavioral observations, in vivo stimulation of transferred nerves, and retrograde tracing studies were used to explore the efficacy of reinnervation on both sensory and motor components of bladder function. Ultimately, results showed that the new neuronal pathways created by nerve transfer can restore bladder sensation and possibly motor function in lower motor neuron-lesioned canines. Beyond the effects of surgical reinnervation on bladder function, we were interested in taking a closer look at the mechanisms that dictate function after decentralization and reinnervation (Chapter 3). Based on our previous work that found that transfer of somatic nerves resulted in bladder smooth muscle expression of a nicotinic receptor subunit thought to be expressed primarily in striated muscles, we were interested in assessing changes in the profile of nicotinic receptors responsible for bladder function. Ex vivo smooth muscle contractility studies showed that response to nicotinic receptor agonists were not altered after decentralization or reinnervation. Furthermore, the α1 nicotinic receptor subunit was expressed in bladder smooth muscle across all surgical groups. Future studies are necessary to better elicit the physiological relevance of these nicotinic receptors in the bladder. Additionally, due to the complexity of surgical reinnervation, it was important to understand all contributions to bladder innervation (Chapter 4). We previously identified that cells in the ventral horns of spinal cord levels rostral to the sacral cord can directly innervate the bladder via retrograde tracing. Because these direct inputs were not in proximity of the spinal root transections made during decentralization, we wanted to know how decentralization and reinnervation impacted their effects on the bladder when stimulated. L2-mediated detrusor contractions were significantly decreased by transection of the hypogastric nerves, suggesting that many of the nerves originating from the L2 cord are sympathetic in nature; however, treatment with phentolamine did not completely eliminate the increase in pressure in response to L2 stimulation. Therefore, the remaining inputs likely act upon the bladder through a yet undefined pathway. The quantity of positively labelled cells did not change in sections of the L2 ventral horn across all surgical groups, suggesting no change in the contribution of direct inputs to bladder innervation. Finally, anatomical feasibility of the obturator and semimembranosus branch of the sciatic nerve transfers has been assessed in an unembalmed cadaver, the results of which have not yet been published. Overall, this research gives us reason to believe that surgical reinnervation is a viable option for patients who develop lower neurogenic bladder after injury to the sacral cord, cauda equina, or peripheral nerves mediating bladder function. / Biomedical Sciences

L’exagération de l’activité contractile spontanée (ACS) et les tumeurs de vessie (TV) sont des modifications morphologiques vésicales observées à moyen et long terme chez les patients ayant une hyperactivité détrusorienne neurogène. Cependant la carcinogénèse vésicale chez les patients neurologiques n’a jamais été étudiée à ce jour et la signification de l’ACS est non élucidée. Nos buts étaient d’étudier la carcinogénèse des vessies neurologiques (en particulier le rôle de l’inflammation chronique) et d’étudier les mécanismes de l’ACS.Nous rapportons que l’expression immunohistochimique de Foxp3 est caractéristique des patients neurologiques ayant une TV agressive de différenciation épidermoïde. Ainsi Foxp3 pourrait être une cible pour le développement d’immunothérapies anti-tumorales. Par une étude en bains d’organes sur des fragments de vessies fraîches issus de patients ayant une hyperactivité détrusorienne neurogène réfractaire, nous observons que l’ACS vésicale in vitro est corrélée à l'âge et la présence de muqueuse vésicale. La modulation pharmacologique de la communication intercellulaire médiée par les connexines 40, 43 et 45 n’inhibe pas l’ACS. La traduction clinique de ces résultats préliminaires est encore difficile. Cependant la compréhension de la signification de l’ACS pourrait identifier de nouvelles voies thérapeutiques pour l’hyperactivité détrusorienne neurogène. Nos résultats ne peuvent pas être argumentés par la littérature encore pauvre à ce sujet. Ce programme de recherche innovant sur les modifications morphologiques à moyen et long terme des vessies neurologiques est poursuivi grâce à une collaboration nationale et à la transversalité des domaines d’expertises des chercheurs impliqués. / Increased spontaneous contractile activity (SCA) and bladder cancer are medium and long-term morphological changes of the bladder observed in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity. However, urothelial carcinogenesis in neurological patients has never been studied and the signification of ACS remains unknown. Our objectives were to study the bladder carcinogenesis in neurological patients (in particular the role of chronic inflammation), and the mechanisms of SCA in neurogenic bladders. We report that Foxp3 expression appears to be a characteristic of neurological patients presenting with aggressive bladder cancer and squamous cell differentiation. Thus, targeting Foxp3 may represent an interesting strategy to improve anti-tumor immunotherapy for bladder cancer. By conducting organ bath studies on bladder strips from patients with refractory neurogenic detrusor overactivity, we observe that the in vitro SCA may be modulated by age and the presence of mucosa. The pharmacological modulation of intercellular communication, targeting connexins 40, 43 and 45, cannot inhibit the SCA of neurogenic bladder strips. These results are still difficult to translate into clinical practice. However, understanding the origin of bladder SCA could help identify new therapeutic strategies for detrusor overactivity. Our results are still preliminary and cannot be supported by the literature due to paucity of data. This research program on medium and long-term morphological changes of human neurogenic bladders is pursued through a national collaboration and cross-disciplinary areas of expertise of the researchers involved.
