Contractile activity of the iliac and sigmoid intestines versus detrusor activity, reabsorption and secretory activity of the iliac and sigmoid intestinal mucosa in contact with urine were studied in 30 rats. It was found that isolated segments of the iliac and sigmoid intestines have spontaneous contractile activity (stronger in the iliac intestine) while bladder segment contracted only in response to electric stimulation. A contraction-stimulating effect of acetylcholine and a relaxing effect of noradrenaline in experiments with the iliac intestine were close to their effects on the detrusor. The sigmoid intestine responded weaker to the above mediators. The iliac mucosa actively reabsorbed urinary urea, creatinin, glucose causing elevation of their concentrations in blood as well as K, Na, Ca, CI, P and secreted protein in urine leading to hypoproteinemia. The sigmoid mucosa showed weaker metabolic activity. The results of the study demonstrate importance of consideration of biological properties of different intestinal regions for choice of a cystoplasty method after cystectomy.
