Expression of Toll-Like Receptors in the Animal Model of Bladder Outlet Obstruction

Table 1

Semiquantitative analysis of the inflammation in the bladder.

Parameters	SOP ()	SOB ()	BOOP ()	BOOB ()
Acute inflammation	None (7/7)	None (6/6)	None (8/8)	None (7/7)	NS
Chronic inflammation	None (7/7)	None (4/6); Low (2/6)	Low (6/8); Medium (2/8)	Low (7/7)	<0.01

SOP: rats that underwent sham operation and received a placebo (water); SOB: rats that underwent sham operation and received an alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist (tamsulosin); BOOP: rats that underwent bladder outlet obstruction operation and received a placebo (water); BOOB: rats that underwent bladder outlet obstruction operation and received alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist (tamsulosin). The results were evaluated by the Kruskal Wallis test with post hoc Dunn’s test. NS: nonsignificant. Significant difference between the BOOP group and the SOP group; .
