David Fincher's Seven thrust Walker's worldview into your viscera; I can still recall that film's gun battle, set in a long corridor, with its slingshot angles and bullets that seemed to explode beside your head, and the ghastly sight, both riveting and repellent, of a partially flayed, obese corpse, its milky white blubber framing intestines that looked like blue balloons.
Acute bladder inflammation induced by local (intravesical) administration of chemical irritants or lipopolysaccharide altered the levels of this cytokine in the bladder suggesting that MIF may be implicated in the early stages of bladder inflammation [ 10 11 ] . In addition, there were changes in the levels of MIF and cyclooxygenase-2 in the central and peripheral nervous tissues that innervate the bladder and other pelvic viscera.
The etiology of PFD is probably multifactorial, including a genetic predisposition to connective tissue abnormalities, vaginal childbirth with damage to the innervation of the pelvic floor muscles, estrogen deficiency, and aging effects [ 1 ] . The pelvic floor, situated at the bottom of the abdominal cavity, forms a supporting shelf for the abdominal and pelvic viscera.
Our previous studies reported the anatomical localization for MIF only in the bladder, while the location of MIF in the peripheral ganglia (MPG; DRG) and in the lumbosacral spinal cord was not determined since the focus was on the change in MIF amounts in these tissues following bladder inflammation [ 10 11 ] . Therefore, as part of our ongoing investigations on the role of MIF in pelvic viscera inflammation, we investigated the location of MIF in two pelvic organs (bladder and prostate) and in peripheral ganglia that innervate these viscera using immunohistochemistry.
Also, we investigated the inferior mesenteric ganglia and the lumbar sympathetic chain that provide sympathetic innervation to the bladder and other pelvic viscera [ 13 ] . We also determined the location of MIF in the L6-S1 dorsal root ganglia that provide afferent innervation to these organs.
