Aim: of the study was to investigate the difference of distribution and expression of the lysyl oxidase enzymes (LOX), the pro-collagen C proteinase (PCP) and the myofi broblasts in the vaginal tissue of postmenopausal women, with and without prolapse. Materials and Methods:This was a prospective closely matched controlled clinicopathological study. Samples were obtained from the anterior vaginal wall of postmenopausal patients that underwent hysterectomy for benign conditions. The immunohistochemical study of the samples was performed on paraffi n embedded specimens with the semi-automatic Ventana method according to the manufacturer's instructions. We have also examined the correlation between prolapse and parity, age and body weight in the same population. Results:We have examined vaginal tissue from 44 postmenopausal patients: 21 with prolapse and 23 without (control group). LOX enzymes were observed in all samples, but they were strongly expressed only in the control group (P<0.005). Similarly PCP and myofi broblasts were positive in all tissues but no statistically important difference in their expression was observed between the two groups. Linear correlation between older age and higher parity with prolapse, was observed. There was no correlation between prolapse and body weight. Conclusion:LOX enzymes are strongly expressed in the vaginal tissue of postmenopausal women without prolapse and may play an important role in the pathophysiology of POP. There is no statististical difference in the expression of PCP and fi broblasts between the control group and the patients with prolapse. Higher parity and older age are associated with prolapse, but the same doesn't apply for higher body weight.

“…21 Fritel et al analyzed questionnaires answered by 2,625 women between 49 and 61 years and found increased prevalence of SUI associated with parity, but did not find a correlation with vaginal delivery, 22 and this finding does not agree the finding by other authors describing vaginal delivery as a leading cause of neuromuscular impairment of pelvic floor and UI. 23 Donforth et al found an association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and smoking with UI. 24 Tamanini et al found that diabetes mellitus was a risk factor for UI, with a three times increase in the chance of symptom onset.…”

StreSS urinary incontinence among women participating in the family health program of DouraDoS (mS), Brazil 649Rev Assoc Med Bras 2010; 56(6): 649-54 IntroductIonUrinary incontinence (UI) is defined as involuntary loss of urine through the urethra. 1 This condition can be classified into three common types: stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), and mixed urinary incontinence. In SUI, urine leakage occurs when there is increased intraabdominal pressure, such as while practicing physical exercise, coughing, or sneezing. UUI is the inability to hold urine because of a strong need to void. Mixed urinary incontinence is a combination of the two previous conditions. 2 The economic impact of UI is significant both for the public health system and the families of patients with this pathology. In the United States, the cost of the treatment of patients with UI was estimated to be approximately $ 19.5 million in 2000. 3 The annual amount paid for routine care of a U.S. woman with UI was estimated at $ 900.00. 4 Studies have shown the negative impact of UI on the social, sexual, and psychological dimensions. 5 Fultz et al. assessed the impact of UI in 3,364 employed women and demonstrated impairment of work rhythm because of increased frequency of bathroom breaks. 6 Tamanini et al., using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ-SF), showed that among 225 patients with UI, 8.9% (20) and 17.8% (40) considered the impact of this condition on their quality of life to be severe and very severe, respectively. 7 Telephone interviews conducted in 2003 with 82,196 people over 65 years demonstrated that the prevalence of UI is twice as high in women compared to men and UI is significantly associated with depression. 8 The prevalence of female UI can range from 8.5% to 55%. showed a weak association. Using logistic regression, only pairing of weight and hysterectomy was able to predict the outcome (SUI). Most women with SUI (63.9%) had very severe impairment in the QOL. conclusIon. The prevalence of SUI was similar to that found in other studies; BMI, parity, number of pregnancies, and hysterectomy were associated with this disease, which seriously impairs the QOL.
