目的:我们在尿动力学研究中比较了脊柱裂患者和对照组的心率变异性参数,目的是评估脊柱裂中存在的自主神经系统功能障碍。
方法:连续心率变异性参数在3个连续周期(P0,开始充盈前2分钟;P1,从充盈开始到第一次希望排尿;和P2,从P1到充盈结束或排尿开始)中记录。对照组由接受了视频尿动力学研究的膀胱输尿管反流儿童组成。我们的研究包括11名脊柱裂患者和9名对照参与者。
结果:在基线时,脊柱裂患者表现出较低的神经网络间隔连续差异的均方根值,连续R-R间隔差异超过50毫秒的百分比相对于间隔总数,高频(HF)。相比之下,这些患者的低频(LF)/HF比率升高(5.04±4.75vs.0.67±0.42,P=0.014)。在膀胱充盈期间,对照组的LF/HF值增加(P0,0.67±0.42;P1,0.89±0.34;P2,1.21±0.64;P=0.018),而脊柱裂患者则有所下降(P0,5.04±4.75;P1,3.96±4.35;P2,3.26±4.03;P<0.001)。膀胱充盈期间脊柱裂患儿的HF值显着升高(P=0.002)。在时域中,在膀胱充盈期间,所有NN间期的标准差仅在对照组中升高.在初始评估时,脊柱裂儿童的副交感神经活动域减少。
结论:在膀胱充盈期,在脊柱裂组中,副交感神经活动随着固定的交感神经活动而增加。相比之下,对照组在膀胱充盈结束时表现出向交感神经优势的转变。这些观察结果可能与脊柱裂的神经源性膀胱的病理生理学有关。
OBJECTIVE: We compared heart rate variability parameters between patients with spina bifida and a control group during urodynamic studies, with the goal of evaluating the autonomic nervous system dysfunction present in spina bifida.
METHODS: Continuous heart rate variability parameters were recorded during 3 successive periods (P0, the 2 minutes prior to the start of filling; P1, from the start of filling to the first desire to void; and P2, from P1 to the end of filling or the start of voiding). The control group consisted of children with vesicoureteral reflux who had undergone video-urodynamic studies. Our study included 11 patients with spina bifida and 9 control participants.
RESULTS: At baseline, patients with spina bifida exhibited lower values for the root mean square of successive differences in NN intervals, the percentage of successive R-R interval differences exceeding 50 msec relative to the total number of intervals, and high frequency (HF). In contrast, the low frequency (LF)/HF ratio was elevated in these patients (5.04 ± 4.75 vs. 0.67 ± 0.42, P = 0.014). During bladder filling, LF/HF values increased in the control group (P0, 0.67 ± 0.42; P1, 0.89 ± 0.34; P2, 1.21 ± 0.64; P = 0.018), while they declined in patients with spina bifida (P0, 5.04 ± 4.75; P1, 3.96 ± 4.35; P2, 3.26 ± 4.03; P < 0.001). The HF values were significantly elevated in children with spina bifida during bladder filling (P = 0.002). In the time domain, the standard deviations of all NN intervals were elevated only in the control group during bladder filling. Parasympathetic activity domains were reduced in the children with spina bifida at the initial assessment.
CONCLUSIONS: During the bladder filling phase, parasympathetic activity increased along with fixed sympathetic activity in the spina bifida group. In contrast, the control group exhibited a shift towards a sympathetic preponderance at the conclusion of bladder filling. These observations may be associated with the pathophysiology of neurogenic bladder in spina bifida.
