Botulinum toxin type A normalizes alterations in urothelial ATP and NO release induced by chronic spinal cord injury.
Christopher P. Smith,David Gangitano,Alvaro Munoz,Nilson A. Salas,Timothy B. Boone,K. Roger Aoki,Joseph Francis,George T. Somogyi +7 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that alterations in the ratio of excitatory and inhibitory urothelial transmitters promote bladder hyperactivity in rat bladders following SCI that can be reversed, to a large extent, by treatment with BoNT-A.

Inhibitory effect of intravesically applied botulinum toxin a in chronic bladder inflammation
Vijaya M. Vemulakonda,George T. Somogyi,Susanna Kiss,Nilson A. Salas,Timothy B. Boone,Christopher P. Smith +5 more
TL;DR: In a CYP model of chronic bladder inflammation intravesical BTX-A significantly inhibits the afferent neural response without impairing efferent bladder function.

Receptor activated bladder and spinal ATP release in neurally intact and chronic spinal cord injured rats
TL;DR: In NI rats sensory muscarinic receptors are the predominant mechanism by which CCh induces ATP release from primary afferents within the lumbosacral spinal cord, and nicotinic or purinergic receptor mechanisms become active, as evidenced by the fact that Atr was only partially effective in inhibiting CCh-induced spinal ATP release.

Construct validity of the pig intestine model in the simulation of laparoscopic urethrovesical anastomosis: tools for objective evaluation.
John R. Boon Md,Nilson A. Salas,Desiderio Avila,Timothy B. Boone,Larry I. Lipshultz,Richard E. Link +5 more
TL;DR: Tests of performance time and postoperative leakage accurately reflected the subjects' degree of experience, indicating that this model for L-UVA provides an experience closely resembling the person's past experience and that the porcine intestine provides a valid model for simulating the procedure.

TL;DR: In this article, a porcine-intestine model was used to simulate laparoscopic urethrovesical anastomosis (L-UVA) performed laparoscopically in the LapTrainer.
