    Role of penile electrodermal activity in the evaluation of autonomic innervation of corpus cavernosum
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2004) Soylu, A; Yilmaz, U; Ozcan, C; Sarier, M; Baydinc, C
    Electrodiagnostic tests measuring the activities of cavernous smooth muscle and sudomotor structures of penile skin are used in order to evaluate autonomic innervation of the penis. Owing to closeness of these tissues, the interference of sympathetic activity during recording is a possibility. In this study, we investigated this possibility in 10 patients whose cavernosal tissues were destroyed during penile prosthesis implantation by comparing the pre- and postoperative penile skin electrodermal activities. Penile electrodermal activities were recorded with surface electrodes before and after the operation. All of the patients had spontaneous and evoked penile electrodermal activity (EDA). The mean amplitude of evoked EDA decreased from 2159 +/- 700 to 1413 +/- 515 muV following penile prosthesis surgery ( P = 0.017). The decrease in the amplitude of penile-evoked EDA following penile prosthesis implantation suggests the contribution of cavernous smooth muscle activity to the sudomotor responses prior to operation. Although corpus cavernosum sympathetic activity contributes to the penile skin recordings, these recordings are mostly the result of penile skin sudomotor sympathetic activity. Therefore, surface potentials recorded from penile skin should not be used for the evaluation of autonomic innervation of corpus cavernosum.

    Sympathetic skin responses in type-1 diabetic children: Relationship to urodynamic findings
    (Wiley, 2006) Soylu, A; Akinci, A; Yilmaz, U; Sarier, M; Aslan, M; Oman, C
    Aims: Cystopathy is an important problem in diabetes mellitus (DM) when diabetes is not well-controlled. In most cases of diabetic csytopathy, autonomic involvement is responsible, which develops insidiously over a long time. We investigated the hand and genital sympathetic skin responses (SSRs) and its relation to urodynamic abnormalities in this group of patients. Methods: We performed hand and genital SSRs in 24 children with Type-1 DM,whose hemoglobin A1C values were above normal limits. We also recruited 19 healthy children for SSRs measurements. Cystometry was performed in 24 children with Type-1 DM. Based on cystometry findings, these children were classified into two groups as normal (n:6) and abnormal (n:18). The amplitude and latency of hand and genital SSRs of 24 children with Type-1 DM and 19 healthy children were compared. Results: Hand and genital SSRs were obtained from all of the diabetic and healthy children. The mean genital SSRs amplitude in diabetic children was significantly lower than the controls. There was no difference in the mean values of all investigated parameters between the normal group and controls. When compared to the controls, there was prolonged latency and decreased amplitude of genital SSRs and decreased hand SSRs amplitude in abnormal group. Conclusions: SSR is a non-invasive test for the evaluation of autonomic sympathetic involvement. Our study revealed differences in genital SSR before the manifestations of cystopathy. Children with abnormal urodynamic findings had changes in both hand and genital SSRs. These findings suggest that SSR tests may have a place in the evaluation of diabetic cystopathy in the early asymptomatic period.
