Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: To evaluate the effect of exosomes (Exos) derived from silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1)-overexpressing human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the recovery of pubococcygeus muscle Injury.
Methods And Results: Exos isolated from SIRT1-overexpressing BMSCs (SIRT1/exos) were injected into a vaginal dilation-induced rat model of Stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The efficacy of Exos treatment on SUI was evaluated by determining the values of urodynamic parameters. The proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells (SCs) were examined by CCK-8 assay, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining. The mRNA and protein expression of molecules related to SC differentiation were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blotting, respectively. Treatment with SIRT1/exos significantly improved the values of abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP), maximum bladder volume (MBV), and estimated marginal mean in rats of SUI. Exposure of SIRT1/exos enhanced the proliferation, differentiation, and activation of SCs. Moreover, SIRT1/exos exhibited their positive effect on BMSCs by activating the ERK signaling.
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that SIRT1/exos meliorated pubococcygeus muscle injury in rats by promoting ERK pathway, which may provide a novel cell-free therapeutic strategy for SUI.

A Randomized Comparison of Transobturator Tape with the Plication of Urethral Ligaments in the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The new urethral ligament plication (ULP) operation for curing SUI is tape free. Instead of using a tape, the pubourethral ligament (PUL) is prevented from lengthening to cause urine loss on effort by a single collagen-creating polyester suture that confines all four branches of the PUL and adds new collagen to strengthen the ligaments. Its anatomical basis is identical to that for the midurethral sling (MUS).

Objective: To review the current literature surrounding onabotulinum toxin A injections for patients with pelvic floor dysfunction and to demonstrate how to perform these injections.
Setting: Academic tertiary care hospital PARTICIPANTS: It is estimated that about 50-90% of patients with chronic pelvic pain have pain that originates from myofascial sources, including the pelvic floor muscles. In patients with pelvic floor dysfunction, management consists of pelvic floor physical therapy with the addition of pelvic floor trigger point injections with a local anesthetic as needed.
Construction and Evaluation of a Risk Prediction Model for Stress Urinary Incontinence in Late Pregnancy Based on Clinical Factors and Pelvic Floor Ultrasound Parameters.

: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is frequently underrecognized in late pregnancy, with limited tools for effective risk assessment. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of clinical and pelvic floor ultrasound parameters for SUI and construct a validated risk model. : Clinical, obstetric, and pelvic floor ultrasound findings were collected from a total of 521 women in late pregnancy who were enrolled in the study.

Electromyography (EMG) is a well-established method for the quantification of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the strength and activity of the urethral sphincter (US) and levator ani muscles (LAMs) by analyzing EMG variables for these PFMs separately using an airbag-type stretchable/inflatable electrode array (ASEA) device. In addition, the study assessed the predictive value of surface EMG (sEMG) signals obtained via ASEA in postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
