Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Cystoscopy has been routinely performed in patients suspected to be suffering from bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) across the globe. The methodology reported by various guidelines appears to have differences in the techniques and hence there is a need for a review of all those techniques in order to arrive at a consensus. The aim was to review the literature describing the prevalent techniques of cystoscopy for patients of BPS/IC and try to evolve a consensus. METHODS The group the Global Interstitial Cystitis, Bladder Pain Society (GIBS) has worked collectively to systematically review the literature using the key words, "Cystoscopy in Hunner's lesions, bladder pain syndrome, painful bladder syndrome and interstitial cystitis" in the PubMed, COCHRANE, and SCOPUS databases. A total of 3,857 abstracts were studied and 96 articles referring to some part of technique of cystoscopy were short-listed for review as full-length articles. Finally, six articles with a description of a technique of cystoscopy were included for final tabulation and comparison. The group went on to arrive at a consensus for a stepwise technique of diagnostic and therapeutic cystoscopy in cases of BPS/IC. This technique has been compared with the previously described techniques and may serve to be a useful practical guide for treating physicians. CONCLUSION It is important to have a uniform standardized technique for performing a diagnostic and therapeutic cystoscopy in patients with BPS/IC. Consensus on one such a technique has been arrived at and described in the present article.

Abstract
Background. There are significant differences in the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/ BPS), in particular, controversy regarding the diagnostic role of cystoscopy or hydrodistension cystoscopy.The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of cystoscopy with hydrodistension in women with IC/BPS.Materials and methods. The study involved 126 women with IC/BPS, mean age – 46.7 ± 14.0 years. The duration of the disease was 6.0 ± 2.8 years. Questionnaires PUF, VAS, USS, and potassium test were used. Cystoscopy and urinary bladder hydrodistension were performed.Results. The sum of points on the PUF scale was 8.14 ± 1.76, on the VAS scale – 5.45 ± 0.93, on the USS scale – 2.63 ± 0.91. A positive potassium test was detected in 91.3 % of cases, the sensitivity of the test was 86.5 %, the specificity – 84.6 %. The anatomical bladder capacity was 308.0 ± 77.5 ml. The average indicator of maximum bladder filling in women with mild pain was higher than in moderate and severe pain by 30.9 % (p < 0.05) and 53.0 % (p < 0.01), respectively. In 11.9 % of cases, polyps were detected at the external opening of the urethra. During cystoscopy, diffuse mucosal bleeding was detected in 39.8 % of cases, diffuse submucosal bleeding – in 21.4 %, rare glomerulations – in 14.3 %, Gunner’s lesions in 12.7 % of cases. After hydrodistension, the changes were more often diffuse (n = 57). There was a significant relationship (r = –0.57, p < 0.01) between the maximum filling of the bladder and the degree of severity of mucosal abnormalities. The severity of changes in the mucous membrane of the bladder positively correlated with the sum of points on the PUF questionnaire (r = +0.61, p = 0.003), on the VAS questionnaire (r = +0.59, p = 0.008) and according to the USS questionnaire (r = +0.66, p = 0.005).Conclusion. Cystoscopy can be used to examine IC/BPS in accordance with the recommendations of international societies. The obtained data can help to improve the effectiveness of IC/PBS diagnostics.

Abstract
To assess whether quantitative T1 relaxometry can measure permeability, chronic inflammation and mural thickening of mouse bladder wall. Adult female C57BL6 mice unexposed to radiation (controls) or 40 wk postirradiation of 10 Gy were scanned at 9.4 T before and after instillation (0.1 mL) of aqueous, novel contrast mixture (NCM) containing 4 mM gadobutrol and 5 mM ferumoxytol. Rapid acquisition with refocused echo (RARE) sequence was used with variable repetition times (TR). Pixel-wise maps of T1 relaxation times for the segmented bladder wall layers were generated from voxel-wise, nonlinear least square data fitting of TR-dependent signal intensity acquired with TR array of 0.4-10 s followed by the histology of harvested bladder. Significant differences between precontrast and postcontrast T1 (ΔT1) were noted in urothelium and lamina propria of both groups but only in detrusor of irradiated group (P < 0.001; 2-way ANOVA). Nearly twofold higher gadobutrol permeability (550 ± 73 vs. 294 ± 160 μM; P < 0.01) derived as per 1/ΔT1 = r1. [C] in urothelium of irradiated group. Inflammation and bladder wall thickening (0.75 ± 0. vs. 0.44 ± 0.08 mm; P < 0.001) predicted by MRI was subsequently confirmed by histology and altered expression of CD45 and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) relative to controls. NCM enhanced MRI relies on the retention of large molecular weight ferumoxytol in lumen for negative contrast, while permeation of the non-ionic, small molecular weight gadobutrol through ZO-1 generates positive contrast in bladder wall for virtual measurement of paracellular permeability and assessment of chronic inflammation in thin and distensible bladder wall, which is also defined by its variable shape and location within pelvis.
