Abstract
AIMS Misoprostol is a prostaglandin E1 analogue that is used to prevent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate whether use of misoprostol also decreases the risk of NSAID-induced kidney injury. METHODS Randomized controlled trials that compared misoprostol vs. placebo in an adult patient population were selected. The primary outcome was kidney injury and the secondary outcome was severe adverse events. The quality of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. RESULTS Twelve studies were eligible for inclusion. Although the rates of kidney injury and severe adverse events did not differ significantly between misoprostol and placebo, a posthoc subgroup analysis that excluded studies in which different NSAIDs were used in the misoprostol and placebo groups suggested that misoprostol may reduce the risk of NSAID-induced kidney injury (risk difference -0.09, 95% confidence interval -0.15 to -0.03, P < .01, I2 = 87%; evidence of very low certainty). CONCLUSION There is limited evidence that misoprostol reduces the risk of NSAID-induced kidney injury. Misoprostol possibly contributes to reducing the risk of kidney injury associated with chronic NSAID use. The findings of this meta-analysis suggest further high-quality clinical trials are warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interstitial cystitis (IC) and bladder pain syndrome (BPS) are chronic conditions that can be debilitating for patients. There is no consensus as to their etiology, and there are many proposed treatment algorithms. Oftentimes multimodal therapy, such as combining behavioral modification and physical therapy alongside pharmacotherapies, will be utilized. With the various treatment options available to patients and providers, there is an ever-growing need to implement evidence-based therapies. AREAS COVERED The authors explore the different pharmacotherapies as commonly recommended in the American Urological Association (AUA) and European Association of Urology (EAU) multitiered guidelines for IC/BPS treatment as well as other investigational therapies. Pharmacotherapies targeting bladder, pelvic, and/or systemic factors in the overall treatment of IC/BPS are discussed with a particular focus on evidence-based guideline therapies. This article also looks at emerging therapies of interest. EXPERT OPINION IC/BPS is a syndrome that requires a multimodal approach, including clinical phenotyping and directed therapy based on the patient's symptoms. The AUA and EAU provide guidelines for practitioners to follow, but adequate treatment requires the therapy to be targeted toward the patient's phenotypic domain.

Abstract
CONTEXT Different types of behavioural, dietary, interventional, pharmacologic, and surgical therapies have been used to treat painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC). Because of the paucity of randomised placebo-controlled studies on different treatments, an evidence-based management approach has not yet been developed. OBJECTIVE To critically review and synthesize data from a wide range of current therapeutic approaches to PBS/IC, to quantify the effect size from randomised controlled trials (RCTs), and to reach clinical agreement on the efficacy of treatments for PBS/IC. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We performed a systematic review of the literature to identify articles published between 1990 and September 2010 on the management of PBS/IC. We included articles restricted to the English language published since 1990 to date that reported on oral and intravesical treatment, multimodal or combined treatment, and surgical treatment. For all RCTs, standardised mean differences (SMDs) were extracted and combined in a meta-analysis applying a random-effect model that incorporated the heterogeneity of effects. The four outcomes assessed in all studies were a change in the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index (ICSI), pain, urgency, and frequency. Non-RCTs (nRCTs) were analysed with a narrative synthesis of the evidence from all research designs. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS We included 7709 adult patients from 29 RCTs and 57 nRCTs. Meta-analysis of RCTs showed that only cyclosporine A provided a simultaneous great effect size of SMD on ICSI, pain, and frequency. Amitriptyline at different dosages showed a great effect size of SMD on pain and urgency or on ICSI and frequency. The remaining RCTs showed sporadic significant changes in only one of the four considered parameters. The attributed levels of evidence for treatments reported in RCTs were 1b; grades of recommendations ranged from A to C. According to the Jadad score, 11 RCTs were high-quality studies. Meta-analysis of RCTs showed a great heterogeneity in the applied methodologies, clinical outcomes assessed, and the obtained results in different studies. The results from the nRCTs showed that the most frequently adopted treatment is oral pentosan polysulfate and that the use of botulinum A toxin intradetrusorial injections in PBS/IC is increasing. A high heterogeneity in drugs and treatment modalities, clinical outcomes, and obtained results was also found for nRCTs. CONCLUSIONS Limited evidence exists for the few treatments for PBS/IC. The lack of definitive conclusions is due to the great heterogeneity in methodology, symptoms assessment, duration of treatment, and follow-up in both RCTs and nRCTs.

Abstract
Interstitial cystitis (IC)/painful bladder syndrome (PBS) is a painful debilitating chronic visceral pain disorder of unknown etiology that affects an estimated 1 million people in the United States alone. It is characterized by inflammation of the bladder that results in chronic pelvic pain associated with bladder symptoms of urinary frequency and urgency. Regardless of the etiology, IC/PBS involves either increased and/or abnormal activity in afferent nociceptive sensory neurons. Pain-related symptoms in patients with IC/PBS are often very difficult to treat. Both medical and surgical therapies have had limited clinical utility in this debilitating disease and numerous drug treatments, such as heparin, dimethylsulfoxide and amitriptyline, have proven to be palliative at best, and in some IC/PBS patients provide no relief whatsoever. Although opiate narcotics have been employed to help alleviate IC/PBS pain, this strategy is fraught with problems as systemic narcotic administration causes multiple unwanted side effects including mental status change and constipation. Moreover, chronic systemic narcotic use leads to dependency and need for dose escalation due to tolerance; therefore, new therapies are desperately needed to treat refractory IC/PBS. This has led our group to develop a gene therapy strategy that could potentially alleviate chronic pelvic pain using the herpes simplex virus-directed delivery of analgesic proteins to the bladder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial cystitis is characterized by over 6 months of chronic pain, pressure and discomfort felt in the lower pelvis or bladder. It is often relieved with voiding, along with daytime frequency and nocturia in the absence of a urinary tract infection. Interstitial cystitis occurs primarily in females including adolescents and its diagnosis is still one of exclusion. It is now recognized as a serious medical condition associated with significant disability. OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to review the pathogenesis and treatment of interstitial cystitis with emphasis on new pathogenetic trends and therapeutic modalities. METHODS About 713 mostly original papers were reviewed in Medline from 1990 to August. 2008. All authors independently reviewed the literature. Large, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trials were few and the medical histories of the patients used varied considerably making conclusions difficult. Promising pilot trials turned out mostly negative on follow-up. RESULTS Increasing evidence of co-morbid diseases, neurogenic inflammation and the effect of stress are promising as new targets for pathophysiology. No new effective treatments have emerged. Oral pentosanpolysulfate, amitriptyline, hydroxyzine and quercetin, as well as intravesical heparin/bicarbonate/lidocaine solutions, are still used with variable success. Some pilot open-label trials presented encouraging findings. CONCLUSION Interstitial cystitis contributes substantially to chronic pelvic pain and to poor quality of life. Oral or intravesical administration of solutions containing sodium hyaluronate, chondroitin sulfate and quercetin to both reduce bladder inflammation and 'replenish' the glycosaminoglycan layer should be tried. There is a clear need for therapeutic modalities. New potential translational research areas are suggested.

Abstract
The urologic chronic pain conditions such as chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome and interstitial cystitis are syndromes whose evaluation and management are controversial. Part of the difficulty in diagnosis and therapy is the heterogeneity of etiologies and symptoms. We propose a six-domain phenotype, which can classify these patients clinically and can direct the selection of therapy in the most evidence based multimodal manner. The domains are urinary, psychosocial, organ specific, infection, neurologic and tenderness of skeletal muscles. This system is flexible and responsive to new biomarkers and therapies as their utility and efficacy are proven.

Abstract
Local delivery of drugs directly into the bladder by way of a urethral catheter is a clever approach to optimize drug delivery to the disease site while reducing systemic bioavailability. Pharmacotherapy by this route is referred to as intravesical delivery. In recent years, intravesical delivery has been used in combination with and oral regimen of drugs or as second-line treatment for neurogenic bladder and detrusor overactivity. Negligible absorption of instilled drugs into the systemic circulation explains the near-minimal adverse toxicity reported with this form of therapy. The authors discuss shortcomings of the current options available for intravesical delivery and provide a broad overview of the latest advances through technology innovation to overcome these drawbacks.

Abstract
Targeting of drugs administered systemically relies on the higher affinity of ligands for specific receptors to obtain selectivity in drug response. However, achieving the same goal inside the bladder is much easier with an intelligent pharmaceutical approach that restricts drug effects by exploiting the pelvic anatomical architecture of the human body. This regional therapy involves placement of drugs directly into the bladder through a urethral catheter. It is obvious that drug administration by this route holds advantage in chemotherapy of superficial bladder cancer, and it has now become the most widely used treatment modality for this ailment. In recent years, the intravesical route has also been exploited either as an adjunct to an oral regimen or as a second-line treatment for neurogenic bladder. (Lamm, D. L.; Griffith, J. G. Semin. Urol. 1992, 10, 39-44. Igawa, Y.; Satoh, T.; Mizusawa, H.; Seki, S.; Kato, H.; Ishizuka, O.; Nishizawa, O. BJU Int. 2003, 91, 637-641.) Instillation of DNA via this route using different vectors has been able to restrict the transgene expression in organs other than bladder. The present review article will discuss the shortcomings of the current options available for intravesical drug delivery (IDD) and lay a perspective for future developments in this field.

Abstract
Although the symptoms of interstitial cystitis (IC)--a debilitating, chronic disease characterized by urinary urgency and frequency, and bladder and pelvic pain on bladder filling--are easily confused with those of urinary tract infections, there is an absence of an underlying infection, and antibiotic therapy is of no therapeutic benefit. Severe cases of this disorder, which affects mainly women, can have a great negative impact on the quality of life of patients because of extreme urinary frequency. The diagnosis of IC is difficult and should be based on patient history, physical examination, and cystoscopy. A large number of pharmacologic treatments have been used to treat this condition with limited success, including pentosan polysulfate, heparin, antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, intravesical dimethyl sulfoxide, and bacille Calmette-Guérin. Among the potentially effective new treatment modalities currently under investigation are suplatast tosilate, resiniferatoxin, botulinum toxin, and gene therapy to modulate the pain response. As knowledge of the pathogenesis of IC increases through intensified research, the ability to provide effective treatment to patients with this disease will improve.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish the efficacy of a multidrug oral treatment with the tricyclic antidepressant agent doxepin and the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor piroxicam in patients with interstitial cystitis (IC), who had failed standard therapy in an open, prospective, nonrandomized study. METHODS A total of 37 patients diagnosed with IC received 75 mg doxepin and 40 mg piroxicam daily. The treatment was termed DOXCAM. Effectiveness of therapy was assessed with frequency-volume charts, an IC symptom score and with cystometry prior to treatment, 8 weeks after the start and 4 weeks after termination of drug treatment. RESULTS Medication was not tolerated by five patients. Twenty-six of 32 patients have experienced virtual total remission of symptoms (81%) and six patients had significant relief (19%). DOXCAM treatment resulted in a significant percent decrease in pain (65% versus 21%). Daytime frequency decreased from 17.6+/-5.7 to 11.3+/-3.6 voids while nocturia did not improve significantly. Twenty-three of the 26 patients who became symptom free and four of the six patients who showed significant improvement had a return of symptoms after cessation of therapy. CONCLUSION It is reasonable to consider oral treatment with DOXCAM in those patients who have failed first-line therapies.

Abstract
Interstitial cystitis is an elusive disorder. Without a defining etiology and distinctive pathophysiology, diagnosis is made on an exclusionary basis. Treatment strategies for the disease vary, as do estimates of its prevalence. Nevertheless, advances are being made in understanding this disease. Basic research is helping to define rational treatment approaches for interstitial cystitis, and new therapies based on the findings of such research are being developed. This article reviews the theories of the etiology of interstitial cystitis and reviews the evidence for clinical effectiveness of various treatments.

Abstract
Misoprostol, a prostaglandin E1 analog, is a racemate of four stereoisomers. On administration it rapidly de-esterifies to its active form, misoprostolic acid. Misoprostolic acid is 85% albumin bound and has a half-life of approximately 30 minutes. It is excreted in urine as inactive metabolites. No significant drug interactions have been reported. Besides its gastrointestinal protective and uterotonic activities, misoprostol regulates various immunologic cascades. It inhibits platelet-activating factor and leukocyte adherence, and modulates adhesion molecule expression. It protects against gut irradiation injury, experimental gastric cancer, enteropathy, and constipation. It improves nutrient absorption in cystic fibrosis. Misoprostol has utility in acetaminophen and ethanol hepatotoxicity, hepatitis, and fibrosis. It is effective in asthmatics and aspirin-sensitive asthmatic and allergic patients. It lowers cholesterol and severity of peripheral vascular diseases, prolongs survival of cardiac and kidney transplantation, synergizes cyclosporine, and protects against cyclosporine-induced renal damage. It works against drug-induced renal damage, interstitial cystitis, lupus nephritis, and hepatorenal syndrome. It is useful in periodontal disease and dental repair. Misoprostol enhances glycosoaminoglycan synthesis in cartilage after injury. It prevents ultraviolet-induced cataracts and reduces intraocular pressure in glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It synergizes antiinflammatory and analgesic effects of diclofenac or colchicine and has been administered to treat trigeminal neuralgic pain. It reduces chemotherapy-induced hair loss and recovery time from burn injury, and is effective in treating sepsis, multiple sclerosis, and pancreatitis.

Abstract
Interstitial cystitis is a complex inflammatory condition of the bladder. The pathophysiology of interstitial cystitis is incompletely understood, although altered epithelial permeability, mast cell activation and sensory afferent nerve upregulation play critical roles. A unified understanding of the pathogenesis of interstitial cystitis is emerging and this will hopefully lead to the introduction of novel therapies for pain and irritative voiding symptoms. Interstitial cystitis is a common disease among women and is frequently misdiagnosed as prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia among men.
