2. Renal papillary calcareous deposits in patients with calcium oxalate kidney stones: Characteristics and formation mechanism
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;30(1):19-23
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of renal papillary calcareous deposits and their role in the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stone, and to explore the formation mechanism of renal calcareous deposits. Methods: A total of 21 patients with calcium oxalate kidney stones were included in the present study. The components of the calculi were detected by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The calcific plaques were observed and the renal papilla biopsy specimens were obtained during PCNL. The specimens were then subjected to alizarin bordeaux staining and light microscopic examination. The expression of osteopontin, BMP-2, and type II collagen in the kidneys was examined by immunohistochemistry. Seven resected renal specimens from patients with non-urolithiasis served as control. Results: Renal papillary calcific plaques were found in all the 21 patients with renal calculi. Local calcareous deposits were found in the renal interstitium around tubular basement membrane and extended toward the mucous membrane in the renal papillas. Microscopically, once the calcareous deposits pierced into the collection system, tiny stones could be seen growing on the deposits. Immunohistochemistristry showed the renal tissues of renal stone patients and normal renal tissues both expressed osteopontin, but not BMP-2 or type II collagen. Conclusion: Renal papillary calcareous deposits may be one of the initiating nidi for kidney stone formation and they may not be an osteoblastic reaction resembling arteriosteogenesis.

Objective To observe the effects of exercise on serum adiponectin and adiponectin receptor (AdipoR) level in skeletal muscle of insulin-resistant rats. Methods A total of 30 healthy male rats were randomly divided into a control group ( NC, n = 8) and a high-fat group ( HF, n = 22), fed with normal chow and high fat diet, respectively. Eighteen weeks later, the high-fat group was randomly divided into a high-fat diet control group (HC, n = 10) and an exercise group (HE, n = 12). The HC and HE group were continually fed with high fat diet, while the HE group was administered with swimming training for 6 weeks in addition at the same time. After 24 weeks, the insulin sensitivity index was calculated, and serum adiponectin level was detected by using ELISA. The expressions of AdipoR mRNA in skeletal muscle were detected with real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results After 18 weeks, compared to NC group, the insulin sensitivity index of HF group decreased significantly. It suggested that insulin resistance appeared in HF group. Twenty-four weeks later, compared to NC group, the ISI of HC group was significantly decreased, meanwhile the level of serum adiponectin, expression of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 mRNA in skeletal muscle of HC group were 71.9% , 59.9% and 69.2% of those of the NC group, respectively; compared to HC group, the ISI was increased significantly by exercise, meanwhile the expression of AdipoR1 mRNA in skeletal muscle was significantly increased by 1.33 times, however the level of serum adiponectin and the expression of AdipoR2 mRNA in skeletal muscle were not altered in HE group. Conclusion Six weeks of exercise improves insulin sensitivity through increasing the expression of AdipoRI mRNA in skeletal muscle.

Microtubule is one of the key components of the cytoskeleton and plays an important role in the maintenance of cell shape and the process of signal transduction and mitosis. Due to the extreme importance of microtubule in the process of mitosis, tubulin becomes one of the most important targets for development of new anticancer drugs and tubulin inhibitors are used for the treatment of cancer nowadays. These inhibitors have antitumor activity by inhibiting or promoting the assembly of tubulin to microtubules and interfering the process of cell mitosis. This review summarized the research progress of the tubulin inhibitors, especially the introduction of the tubulin inhibitors of pharmacological activities and the progress of clinical research. Also, the development trend of these inhibitors is discussed.
