Project description:Background and study aims
Bladder cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. If the cancer has spread particularly aggressively or keeps coming back after initial treatment, a radical cystectomy may be required. A radical cystectomy is an operation where the entire bladder is removed, as well as nearby organs that may contain cancer cells, such as the prostate and vas deferens (tubes that transport sperm) in men, and the uterus and ovaries in women. Although total removal of the bladder is an effective treatment against the cancer, patients often experience long-term side effects from the surgery. One of the most pronounced after effects are problems with functional problems, namely sexual problems and urinary incontinence. Another common problem following a radical cystectomy is difficulties with bowel movements, such as difficulty passing stools or needing to go urgently. The aim of this study is to look at defecation (rectal function) in patients before and after their radical cystectomy surgery.
Who can participate?
Adults suffering from bladder cancer, with a planned radical cystectomy.
What does the study involve?
Before the planned surgery, participants are asked to complete questionnaires regarding their sexual function and continence. Additionally, pressure measurements in the rectum are taken so that rectal function can be determined. Twelve months after the patients have had their radical cystectomy, the questionnaires and function tests are repeated to find out whether the results have changed.

Project description:Sexual quality of life is rarely mentioned by physicians during follow-up consultations, even though it is the source of a significant deterioration in quality of life (QOL).
The assessment of female sexual function is based on self-administered questionnaires. Four questionnaires have been translated and validated in French: FSFI, PISQ-IR, PISQ-12, BISF.
The objective of this project is to determine which questionnaire is acceptable and adapted to a cohort of women living in France who have undergone treatment for rectal cancer

Project description:Fetal life is a crucial period for sexual reproduction when bipotential gonads differentiate into either a testis or an ovary. Gaining insights into the complex molecular events underlying this process is central to a better understanding of disorders of sexual development. The present work therefore intends to improve the knowledge on molecular pathways at play during gonad development in humans using RNA-Sequencing.

Project description:<p>Urethral microbiome of adolescent males is designed to characterize the microbial communities resident in the urethra of young men, to identify differences in these communities as a function of race/ethnicity, circumcision status, sexual exposures, and uro-genital symptoms. We collect detailed sexual behavior and symptoms data using cellular telephones with Internet access. Specimens are routinely collected at monthly intervals, and intermittently following reported symptoms, specific sexual exposures, or identification of a sexually transmitted infection. We also collect periodic samples from the penile coronal sulcus to better characterize its relationship to the urethral micriobial communities.</p> <p>Participants are ages 14 - 17 at enrollment, and prior history of sexual exposure is not required for participation. Parental permission is obtained for each participant. The planned duration of followup is up to 4 years allowing for prospective observation of both physical and behavioral maturation from middle adolescence into young adulthood.</p> <p>The overall objectives of the project are to better characterize the healthy male urethral microbiome, and to use this information to better understand acquisition of urethritis and sexually transmitted infections, as well as chronic genital pain and prostatitis syndromes that become common among young adults.</p>

Project description:The purpose of this study is to learn more about the personal experiences of patients who are treated with pelvic exenteration surgery. Pelvic exenteration is a surgical procedure in which the pelvic organs including the reproductive organs, bladder and/or rectum are removed. We would like to understand more about the physical, emotional, educational, and sexual needs of patients who are treated with this surgery. We will use what we learn from this study to help find better ways of preparing patients for this type of surgery. This will also allow us to be more helpful to patients’ needs after surgery.

Project description:Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer by the site in Europe and the third most common cancer in the USA with high morbidity and mortality. Survival after the treatment has improved over the past few decades as a result of early diagnosis, radiotherapy, and advances in surgical techniques such as abdominoperineal resection (APR), low anterior resection (LAR) and total mesorectal excision (TME). These innovative surgeries are the current standard treatment for the mid and the low rectal cancers which avoids the permanent colostomy. It is very difficult to find out the incidence of the bowel, bladder and sexual dysfunction of patients either because they are embarrassed or because they do not relate their symptoms to rectal cancer treatment. This article reports the incidence of the bowel, bladder and sexual dysfunction following surgery for rectal cancer from the National Academy of Medical Sciences, Bir Hospital, a tertiary level hospital.

Project description:Changes in human bladder epithelial cell gene expression associated with interstitial cystitis or antiproliferative factor treatment. Explanted bladder epithelial cells from patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) have been shown to differ from explanted control cells in several ways, including production of an antiproliferative factor (APF), altered production of certain epithelial growth factors, and rate of proliferation. To better understand the role of the APF in abnormal bladder epithelial cell proliferation in IC, we studied gene expression patterns in normal bladder epithelial cells treated with APF vs. mock APF and compared them to expression patterns in IC vs. normal cells using microarray analysis. Oligo-dT-primed total cellular RNA was labeled with [33P]dCTP and hybridized to GeneFilter GF211 microarray membranes (Research Genetics) containing cDNA for 3,964 human genes. Thirteen genes that function in epithelial cell proliferation or differentiation were consistently differentially expressed in both IC (compared with control) and APF-treated (compared with mock APF-treated) normal bladder epithelial cells. The general pattern of gene expression in IC and APF-treated cells suggested a less proliferative phenotype, with increased expression of E-cadherin, phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase-associated protein 39, and SWI/SNF complex 170-kDa subunit, and decreased expression of vimentin, {alpha}2-integrin, {alpha}1-catenin, cyclin D1, and jun N-terminal kinase 1; these findings were confirmed for the structural gene products (E-cadherin, vimentin, {alpha}2-integrin, and {alpha}-catenin) by immunohistochemistry. These results are compatible with the previously noted decreased proliferation rate of IC and APF-treated normal cells, and indicate that the mechanism whereby APF inhibits cell proliferation may involve both downregulation of genes that stimulate cell proliferation along with upregulation of genes that inhibit cell growth.
