Objective To investigate the mechanisms of calculus crystal transport by macro-phage in kidney. Methods Hyperoxaluria rat model was established by administration of 1% ethyl-ene glycol and 1% ammonium chloride in drinking water. 24 h rat urine was collected, urinary oxalate were analyzed by ion chromatography. The expression and location of osteopontin and macrophage in kidney were observed by immunohistochemistry. Macrophage and calculus crystal at the basement membrane of renal tubular epithelial cells and interstitium were observed. Results The urinary ox-slate concentration were (0.22±0.13), (0.29±0.08), (0. 50±0.26), (0. 41±0. 22), (0.25±0. 12) ng/ml among these 5 groups. The osteoponitin expression was 0.16±0.04, 0.25±0.09, 0.37±0.10, 0.23±0.08, 0.19±0.02 respectively. The expression of osteopontin was positively correlated with urinary oxlate concentration(r=0.887, P<0.05). The macrophage at the basement membrane of renal tubular epithelial cells was 0.12±0.08, 0.19±0.06, 0.27±0.04, 0.16±0.03, 0.18±0.03 respectively. The macrophage distribution was positively correlated with the expression of osteopontin (r= 0.596, P<0.05). The macrophage moved from vessel to the basement membrane of loops of Henle, then disrupted and released the calculus crystal. Conclusions The macrophage might take part in the calculus crystal transport in kidney at the basement membrane of loops of Henle, which may be the source of Randall plaque. This process may be mediated by osteopontin.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes between pedicle screw internal fixation via the Wiltse approach and conservative treatment in young patients with thoracolumbar fracture with Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity score (TLICS) ≤ 4 points.Methods:This retrospective study included 219 young patients with thoracolumbar fracture with TLICS score ≤ 4 points who had been treated from January 2014 to December 2018 at Department of Orthopaedics, The Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University and obtained full follow-up. They were assigned into a surgery group of 126 patients subjected to pedicle screw internal fixation via the Wiltse approach and a conservative group of 93 patients subjected to conservative treatment. The surgery group included 65 males and 61 females, aged from 18 to 37 years, with a TLICS score of 1 point in 38 cases and of 2 to 4 points in 88 ones; the conservative group included 48 males and 45 females, aged from 19 to 38 years, with a TLICS score of 1 point in 29 cases and of 2 to 4 points in 64 ones. Patients in both groups underwent thoracolumbar X-ray, CT and MRI before treatment and regular thoracolumbar X-ray reexamination after treatment. Improvements in visual analog scale (VAS) for low back pain were compared between pre- and post-treatment. The 2 groups were compared in terms of VAS, anterior height of the injured vertebra and kyphosis cobb angle between pre-treatment, one month post-treatment and the last follow-up.Results:The 2 groups were comparable due to insignificant differences between them in the pre-treatment general data ( P>0.05). In the surgery group, patients were followed up for 24 to 72 months, the average VAS scores at one month post-treatment (2.5±1.2) and the last follow-up (2.3±0.8) were significantly improved compared to the pre-treatment value (6.8±2.1) ( P<0.05), and no serious surgical complications occurred. In the conservative group, patients were followed up for 30 to 65 months, the average VAS scores at one month post-treatment (3.9±1.9) and the last follow-up (3.5±0.9) were significantly improved compared to the pre-treatment value (6.2±2.0) ( P<0.05), and the rate of complications was 11.8% (11/93, including 3 cases of neural symptoms of the lower limb, 4 cases of bedsore and 4 cases of pulmonary infection). The VAS, anterior height of the injured vertebra and kyphosis cobb angle at one month post-treatment and the last follow-up in the surgery group were all significantly better than in the conservative group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In young patients with thoracolumbar fracture with TLICS ≤ 4 points, pedicle screw internal fixation via the Wiltse approach can lead to better therapeutic outcomes than conservative treatment, especially in relief of postoperative low back pain.
