Therefore, different pharmacological approaches have been or are being proposed for the treatment of nephrolithiasis by calcium oxalate. Among them, the pyridoxine, a component of vitamin B6, has been suggested as a potential therapeutic agent that can minimize the effects of hyperoxaluria. However, the results are controversial. Objective: To evaluate the effects of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) on the urinary excretion of oxalate and its possible impact on renal disorders caused by nephrocalcinosis induced from an experimental model of hyperoxaluria in rats. Methods: It was used 60 Sprague Dawley male rats and were randomized into four groups: Group 1 [(G1: n = 15) clinical control]; Group 2 [G2: Ethylene glycol (EG) 0.5% + Vitamin D3 (VD3), n = 15], which hyperoxaluria was induced by the administration of EG diluted in water and offered in association with VD3 (Cholecalciferol) at a dose of 0.5 uM; Group 3 [G3: 0.5% EG + VD3 + pyridoxine (VB6); n = 15], which the animals received the same drugs offered to the G2 plus VB6 at a dose of 180mg / kg body weight / day; Group 4 (G4, n = 15) which the animals are supplemented only with the same dose of VB6 in G3. All animals were euthanized after 28 days of intervention and submitted a metabolic study on the urine of 24 hours; histopathological / morphometric analysis of oxidative stress in renal parenchymal and spectroscopic measurement of calcium. Results: Among the urinary parameters evaluated, there was significant reduction in the citrate in G2 compared to the control group- G1 (781.9 and 2414.4mg / L, respectively), while the oxalate was significantly increased in G2 and G3 compared to G1 (7.79, 8.94 and 2.96mg / L, respectively). The urinary calcium was significantly lower in the induced groups (G3: 0.9, G2: 1.5 and G1: 2.25mg / dL). Histomorphometric analysis revealed that only the animals of G2 and G3 developed nephrocalcinosis without, however, no substantially differences from each other in the counting of intratubular crystals were found. Similarly, considering the histopathologic analysis, only the induced animals (G2 and G3) exhibited atrophy, stromal extravasation and inflammatory infiltrate in the renal parenchyma in a similar pattern between the two groups. Regarding to the analysis of oxidative stress, an increase of lipid hydroperoxide levels associated with reduced superoxide dismutase activity and glutathione peroxidase in the G2. In the other groups, the enzyme pattern remained relatively stable compared to the control, except for catalase activity, which activity proved to be increased in all groups. In the other groups, the enzyme pattern remained relatively stable compared to the control (G1), except for the catalase activity, in which activity increased in all groups. As expected, the quantification of calcium in the renal parenchyma was significantly higher in G2 and G3 as compared to groups without induction. Conclusion: Pyridoxine was not able to produce a significant effect in the treatment and / or prevention of urinary disorders, as well as morphological, inflammatory and functional renal tissue in rats with secondary hyperoxaluria obtained from the administration of inducing agents. Introdução: O oxalato de cálcio (OxCa) é o principal componente metabólico envolvido na formação dos cálculos renais. Por esta razão, diferentes abordagens farmacológicas foram ou estão sendo propostas para o tratamento da nefrolitíase por OxCa. Dentre elas, a piridoxina, um componente da vitamina B6, tem sido sugerida como potencial agente terapêutico capaz de atenuar os efeitos da hiperoxalúria, porém com resultados ainda controversos. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da piridoxina (Vitamina B6) sobre a excreção urinária de oxalato e seu eventual impacto nas alterações renais causadas pela nefrocalcinose induzida a partir de um modelo experimental de hiperoxaluria em ratos. Métodos: Foram utilizados 60 ratos machos da raça Sprague-Dawley, randomicamente distribuídos em quatro grupos: GRUPO 1 (G1: n=15) controle clínico; GRUPO 2 [G2: Etilenoglicol (EG) a 0,5%+vitamina D3 (VD3), n=15] no qual a hiperoxalúria foi induzida a partir da administração de EG diluído em água e ofertado em associação com a VD3 (Colecalciferol) na dose de 0,5 μM; GRUPO 3 [G3: EG 0,5%+VD3+Piridoxina(VB6); n=15] onde os animais receberam as mesmas drogas ofertadas ao G2 acrescido da VB6 na dose de 180mg/kg peso/dia; GRUPO 4 (G4, n=15) animais suplementados apenas com a VB6 na mesma dose do G3. Todos os animais foram eutanasiados após 28 dias de intervenção e submetidos a estudo metabólico na urina de 24 horas; análise histopatológica/morfométrica, análise do estresse oxidativo no parênquima renal, bem como dosagem espectroscópica do cálcio. Resultados: Dentre os parâmetros urinários avaliados, observou-se significativa redução do citrato no G2 em relação ao controle (781,9, e 2414,4mg/L, respectivamente), enquanto que o oxalato mostrou-se significativamente aumentado nos G2 e G3 quando comparado ao G1 (7,79; 8,94 e 2,96mg/L, respectivamente). O cálcio urinário foi significativamente menor nos grupos induzidos (G3:0,9, G2:1,5 e G1: 2,25mg/dL). A análise histomorfométrica revelou que apenas os animais dos G2 e G3 desenvolveram nefrocalcinose sem, no entanto, apresentar diferença significativa entre si na contagem dos cristais intratubulares. Da mesma forma, considerando-se a análise histopatológica, apenas os animais induzidos (G2 e G3) exibiram atrofia, extravasamento estromal e infiltrado inflamatório no parênquima renal, em um padrão bastante semelhante entre os dois grupos. Com relação à análise do estresse oxidativo, houve aumento dos níveis do hidroperoxido de lipídeo associado à redução da atividade da superoxido dismutase e glutationa peroxidase no G2. Nos demais grupos, o padrão enzimático manteve-se relativamente estável em relação ao controle, com exceção da atividade da catalase, cuja atividade revelou-se aumentada em todos os grupos estudados. Como esperado, a quantificação do cálcio no parênquima renal foi significativamente maior em G2 e G3 quando comparado aos grupos sem indução. Conclusão: A piridoxina não foi capaz de produzir um efeito significativo no tratamento e/ou na prevenção das alterações urinárias, bem como morfológicas, inflamatórias e funcionais do parênquima renal de ratos com hiperoxalúria secundária obtida a partir da administração de agentes indutores.

Background: The objective of our study was to evaluate the association of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl concentration with intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in patients with septic shock. Methods: We prospectively evaluated 175 patients aged over 18 years with septic shock upon ICU admission. However, 16 patients were excluded. Thus, 159 patients were enrolled in the study. In addition, we evaluated 16 control patients. At the time of the patients' enrollment, demographic information was recorded. Blood samples were taken within the first 24 hours of the patient's admission to determine serum MDA and protein carbonyl concentrations. Results: The mean age was 67.3 ± 15.9 years, 44% were males, and the ICU mortality rate was 67.9%. Median MDA concentration was 1.53 (0.83-2.22) µmol/L, and median protein carbonyl concentration was 24.0 (12.7-32.8) nmol/mL. Patients who died during ICU stay had higher protein carbonyl concentration. However, there was no difference in MDA levels between these patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that higher levels of protein carbonyl were associated with ICU mortality (area under the curve: 0.955; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.918-0.992; P <.001) at the cutoff of >22.83 nmol/mL (sensibility: 80.4% and specificity: 98.1%). In the logistic regression models, protein carbonyl concentrations (odds ratio [OR]: 1.424; 95% CI: 1.268-1.600; P <.001), but not MDA concentrations (OR: 1.087; 95% CI: 0.805-1.467; P =.59), were associated with ICU mortality when adjusted for age, gender, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score; and when adjusted by APACHE II score, lactate, and urea; protein carbonyl concentrations (OR: 1.394; 95% CI: 1.242-1.564; P <.001); and MDA (OR: 1.054; 95% CI: 0.776-1.432; P =.73). Conclusion: In conclusion, protein carbonyl, but not MDA, concentration is associated with ICU mortality in patients with septic shock. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Na maioria das vezes, o oxalato de cálcio (OxCa) é o principal componente metabólico envolvido na litíase. Diferentes autores têm utilizado a hiperoxalúria para estudar a deposição de cristais de OxCa nos túbulos renais em ratos. Em algumas situações, litíase e nefrocalcinose podem coexistir, no entanto, os resultados de estudos em modelos de ratos indicam que a deposição renal de cristais de OxCa é caracterizado pela nefrocalcinose e está relacionado com a lesão, inflamação e regeneração celular. A ingestão de etilenoglicol (EG) ou hidroxi-L-prolina (HLP) em alimentos ou água produz hiperoxalúria crônica. Esta, por sua vez, associada a cristalúria por OxCa com eventual deposição no parênquima renal. O EG pode ser associado ou não a outros componentes como a vitamina D3 (Colecalciferol), potencializando a deposição de OxCa no rim. Os indutores da nefrocalcinose (EG e HLP) podem ser utilizados em diferentes concentrações e períodos causando variação na intensidade da calcificação no parênquima renal. Entretanto, não está até o momento elucidado nem o melhor agente e nem a melhor concentração a ser utilizada a fim de se obter um modelo estável não nefrotóxico para o estudo de cristalização de OxCa. Foram utilizados 40 ratos machos da raça Sprague-Dawley, distribuídos de maneira randomizada em quatro grupos: GRUPO I (Controle clínico, n=10); GRUPO II (Etileno Glicol a 0,5% + Vitamina D3, n=10); GRUPO III (Etileno Glicol a 1,25%, n=10); GRUPO IV (Hidroxi-L-prolina a 5%, n=10). Após uma semana de seguimento (momento M1), cinco animais de cada grupo foram... Urinary lithiasis is the third most common cause of urinary tract disease only surpassed by urinary and prostate diseases. Most often, the calcium oxalate (CaOx) is the major metabolic component involved in lithiasis. Different authors have used hyperoxaluria to study deposition of crystals in renal tubules CaOx in rats. In some situations, lithiasis and nephrocalcinosis may coexist, however, the results of studies in rat models indicate that renal deposition of crystals is characterized by CaOx nephrocalcinosis and is associated with injury, inflammation, and cell regeneration. Ingestion of ethylene glycol (EG) or hydroxy-L-proline (HLP) in food or water produces chronic hyperoxaluria. This, in turn, associated with crystalluria CaOx for eventual deposition in the renal parenchyma. The EG can be with or without other components like Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), increasing the deposition OxCa kidney. The induce nephrocalcinosis (EG and HLP) can be used in different concentrations and times causing variation in the intensity of calcification in renal parenchyma. However, it is not yet elucidated neither the best nor agent and the optimal concentration to be used in order to obtain a stable nonnephrotoxic model for studying crystallization CaOx. A total of 40 male rats of Sprague-Dawley rats, selected randomly distributed into four groups: group I (Clinical control, n = 10), group II (Ethylene Glycol 0.5% + Vitamin D3, n = 10); GROUP III (Ethylene Glycol 1.25%, n = 10) GROUP IV (Hydroxy-L-proline 5%, n = 10). After a week of monitoring (when M1), five animals from each group were sacrificed, and the other at the end of 4 weeks (M2 Moment).

Abstract: The objective of our study was to evaluate the association between peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) concentration and its polymorphisms with mortality in patients with septic shock. We prospectively evaluated 175 patients aged over 18 years with septic shock upon intensive care unit (ICU) admission. However, 48 patients were excluded. Thus, 127 patients were enrolled in the study. At the time of the patients’ enrollment, demographic information was recorded. Blood samples were taken within the first 24 hours of the patient's admission to determine serum PAD4 concentrations and its polymorphism PADI4_89 [rs11203366], PADI4_94 [rs2240340] and PADI4_104 [rs1748033]. The mean age was 63.3 ± 15.2 years, 56.7% were male, PAD4 concentration was 4.62 (2.48‐6.20) ng/mL and the ICU mortality rate was 67.7%. The patients who died in the ICU had higher APACHE II and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores. In addition, PAD4 concentration was higher in patients who died during ICU stay. However, there were no differences regarding PADI4 polymorphisms and ICU mortality. In the logistic regression models, PAD4 concentrations were associated with ICU mortality when adjusted for APACHE II score and lactate (OR: 1.477; CI 95%: 1.186‐1.839; P < .001), and when adjusted for age, gender and APACHE II score (OR: 1.392; CI 95%: 1.145‐1.692; P < .001). In conclusion, PAD4 concentration, but not PADI4_89, PADI4_94 and PADI4_104 polymorphisms, is associated with ICU mortality in septic shock patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between the pH readings in 24-h urine and the random fasting specimen in patients with urolithiasis using 2 methods., Methods: A total of 114 patients with urinary lithiasis using potassium citrate were prospectively analyzed. All patients collected 24-h urine and an additional sample, after nocturnal fasting, collected on the day they brought the 24-h sample at the lab. Two different methods (test strip and digital meter) were used to determine pH values., Results: The pH analysis using strips in the 24-h urine presented a mean value similar to the one obtained in the fasting sample (6.07 ± 0.74 vs. 6.02 ± 0.82, respectively; P > 0.05). The same behavior was seen considering the readings with a digital pH meter (5.8 ± 0.78 vs. 5.75 ± 0.83; P > 0.05). However, readings conducted in the same specimen with pH meter and test strip were dissonant (P < 0.05), suggesting that the colorimetric method is not reliable in the assessment of urinary pH in this population., Conclusion: pH assessment in a random urinary specimen proved as efficient as the 24-h urine standard method to monitor patients with kidney stones in the use of potassium citrate. Classical test strip analysis is not sensitive enough to evaluate the urine pH in this population and digital pH meter reading is preferred., Competing Interests: None., (AJCEU Copyright © 2022.)
