Abstract
While there is a well-developed body of literature in the health field that describes processes to implement research, there is a dearth of similar literature in the disability field of research involving complex conditions. Moreover, the development of meaningful and sustainable knowledge translation is now a standard component of the research process. Knowledge users, including community members, service providers, and policy makers now call for evidence-led meaningful activities to occur rapidly. In response, this article presents a case study that explores the needs and priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in Australia who have experienced a traumatic brain injury due to family violence. Drawing on the work of Indigenous disability scholars such as Gilroy, Avery and others, this article describes the practical and conceptual methods used to transform research to respond to the realities of community concerns and priorities, cultural considerations and complex safety factors. This article offers a unique perspective on how to increase research relevance to knowledge users and enhance the quality of data collection while also overcoming prolonged delays of knowledge translation that can result from the research-production process.

Abstract
THE grey-headed flying fox Pteropus poliocephalus
is managed simultaneously under two contrasting
paradigms in New South Wales (NSW), as a
threatened species and as a pest in orchards and at
camps in some urban centres. Many authors have
called attention to the lack of understanding of the
species and the obstacle this may pose for
conservation efforts. Managing the grey-headed
flying-fox as a threatened species in NSW was
produced as a result of a forum held on the 28th of
July 2001 by the Royal Zoological Society of New
South Wales. It provides a comprehensive and up-todate
review of management strategies for the species,
in the context of recent legislative changes.

Abstract
PURPOSE We examine the ultrastructural changes reported to be present in dysfunctional bladders and determine whether they can be used as a predictor of urodynamic diagnosis in a clinical setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects who required urodynamic diagnosis and cystoscopy as part of clinical management were recruited for this study. After urodynamic diagnosis cases were classified into 1 of 5 dysfunction groups as normal bladder outflow obstruction, idiopathic sensory urgency, obstruction with detrusor instability and pure detrusor instability. A detrusor muscle biopsy was taken from the lateral wall of the bladder at cystoscopy for subsequent electron microscopy. RESULTS Of the 27 cases 6 were normal, 9 had bladder outflow obstruction and detrusor instability, 8 had pure detrusor instability and 4 had idiopathic sensory urgency. The obstructed group showed the myohypertrophy pattern previously reported. In contrast to previous reports, abnormal junctions were found in all patients. For each patient the ratios of abnormal-to-normal junctions were calculated. Mean and standard error ratios were 1.1+/-0.1, 2.7+/-0.2, 6.1+/-1.2, 13.3+/-4.4 for normal, idiopathic sensory urgency, obstruction with detrusor instability and pure detrusor instability, respectively (p = 0.0003, 0.0042 and 0.04). CONCLUSIONS There are distinct morphological changes in the detrusor associated with bladder dysfunction. The ratio of abnormal-to-normal junctions is a novel measurement and can be used to predict urodynamic dysfunction. Ultrastructural studies may be useful as an adjunct in the diagnosis of bladder dysfunction.

Abstract
A series of cultured cell lines (designated UCRU-BL-13) has been established from different serial passages of a multiply aneuploid human bladder transitional-cell carcinoma xenografted in nude mice. Serial passage of the xenografts in vivo and of the cell lines in vitro was accompanied by shifts in the tumor ploidy, with dominance of different major peaks. Despite this, the expression of tumor markers remained constant, and consistent chromosomal markers were observed both in the 8th xenograft passage and in a subline in tissue culture established over a year apart. Chromosomal numbers reflected the predominant aneuploid peaks observed; consistent numerical and structural changes included a marker derived from chromosome 1, 8p-, -10, 11q+, and 17q+. The cell line derived from the initial xenograft comprised a mixture of transitional, adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma cells in early passage, but adenocarcinoma cells were absent from later passages. The lines expressed the B-blood-group antigen, histocompatibility antigens, receptors for transferrin and EGF, and reacted with a series of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed to malignant human epithelial cell lines. These lines provide a model for studying the evolution of tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance in bladder carcinoma exhibiting multiple aneuploidy.

Abstract
Tumour-cell heterogeneity has been studied in a continuous cell line, UCRU-BL-17CL, established from a xenografted human primary bladder carcinoma. The cell line, grown in vitro for more than 30 generations, reflects the pathology of both the xenograft from which it was derived and the original human tumour. It comprises mainly adenocarcinoma cells which secrete mucin in vitro, as well as squamous and transitional carcinoma cells. Features of both adenocarcinomatous and squamous differentiation have been observed within the same cell. The line expresses ABH blood group isoantigens, binds to peanut lectin and reacts with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against keratin and against normal and malignant epithelial cells. It also reacts with MAbs against ras p21 proteins and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It shows high levels of lactic acid dehydrogenase isozyme 5, consistent with a high-grade tumour, forms colonies in methylcellulose and is tumorigenic in nude mice. The karyotype (human) shows many marker chromosomes, consistent with expression of EGF receptors and ras p21 proteins, and an 11:13 translocation. DNA content, as studied by flow cytometry, reveals a shift from tetraploid to near triploid. This line may provide a useful model for studies of the histogenesis of bladder cancer and the relationship between transitional-cell carcinoma and the other histological subtypes of this disease.
