Objective: To study the relationship between innervations of detrusor and urodynamic classification in myelodysplastic bladder (MB).

Methods: 38 MB and 11 normal bladder specimens were obtained. MB specimens included detrusor hyperreflexia 25 cases and detrusor hyporeflexia/areflexia 13 cases. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using antibodies against S-100, Neurofilament protein (NF200) and Synaptopysin (SY).

Results: (1) Stronger staining of S-100 and NF200 was seen in detrusor hyperreflexia specimens, compare with normal control (P<0.01 and P<0.05 respectively). 14 specimens (56.0%) were also stained in smooth muscle bundle. The varicosities in detrusor hyperreflexia were more abundant than those in control specimens (P<0.001). (2) There was less staining of S-100 and NF200 in detrusor hyporeflexia/areflexia specimens, compared with control (P<0.01 and P<0.05 respectively). 3 of them showed no staining of S-100 and NF200, clinical urodynamic study manifested that there was no reflex of bladder detrusor. The varicosities were significantly diminished in muscle bundle compare with control (P<0.001). (3) There was no correlation of nerve density between age and gender (P>0.05).

Conclusions: There is a closed relationship between innervations of detrusor and urodynamic results in MB. It is necessary to treat different type of MB with variety methods respectively.
