The effects of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium contents of diets containing different proportions of wheat grain to roughage on the excretion of minerals involved in urinary calculi formation by sheep, were examined in three separate studies: the first, with six sheep, determined the effects of increasing the percentage of wheat grain in the diet on the digestibilities of Ca, P and Mg, the excretion of these three elements in urine and on the propensity of the diets to form calculi; the second involved two sheep and studied the effects of supplementing a 90% grain diet with CaCO3 and roughage on faecal and urinary excretion of Ca, P and Mg; the third was carried out using four sheep fed on a 75 % grain diet and examined the effects of supplementation with extra P, Ca and roughage on Ca, P and Mg excretion. Urinary P concentration was directly correlated with the formation of calculi. Plasma inorganic phosphorus (P,) increased when grain in the diet was 75 % or greater and this led to increased urinary P excretion. The addition of CaCO3 reduced urinary P without large changes in plasma P1 and increased the faecal output of P. Extra roughage added to high grain diets reduced the digestibility of both Ca and P and the plasma concentration and urinary excretion of P. The significance of these findings for the prevention of urinary calculi in sheep is discussed.

Abstract Backgrounds: Previous studies have demonstrated that excretion of urinary extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different nephron segments differs between kidney stone formers and non-stone formers (NSFs), and could reflect pathogenic mechanisms of urinary stone disease. In this study we quantified selected populations of specific urinary EVs carrying protein markers of immune cells and calcium/phosphorus physiology in calcium oxalate stone formers (CSFs) compared to non-stone formers (NSFs). Methods Biobanked urine samples from CSFs (n = 24) undergoing stone removal surgery and age- and sex- matched NSFs (n = 21) were studied. Urinary EVs carrying proteins related to renal calcium/phosphorus physiology (phosphorus transporters (PiT1 and PiT2), Klotho, and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23); markers associated with EV generation (anoctamin-4 (ANO4) and Huntington interacting protein 1 (HIP1)), and markers shed from activated immune cells were quantified by standardized and published method of digital flow cytometry. Results Urine excretion of calcium, oxalate, phosphorus, and calcium oxalate supersaturation (SS) were significantly higher in CSFs compared to NSFs (P < 0.05). Urinary excretion of EVs with markers of total leukocytes (CD45), neutrophils (CD15), macrophages (CD68), Klotho, FGF23, PiT1, PiT2, and ANO4 were each markedly lower in CSFs than NSFs (P < 0.05) whereas excretion of those with markers of monocytes (CD14), T-Lymphocytes (CD3), B-Lymphocytes (CD19), plasma cells (CD138 plus CD319 positive) were not different between the groups. Urinary excretion of EVs expressing PiT1 and PiT2 negatively (P < 0.05) correlated with urinary phosphorus excretion, whereas excretion of EVs expressing FGF23 negatively (P < 0.05) correlated with both urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion. Urinary EVs with markers of HIP1 and ANO4 correlated negatively (P < 0.05) with clinical stone events and basement membrane calcifications on papillary tip biopsies. Conclusions Urinary excretion of EVs derived from specific types of activated immune cells and EVs with proteins related to calcium/phosphorus regulation differed between CSFs and NSFs. Further validation of these and other populations of urinary EVs in larger cohort could identify biomarkers that elucidate novel pathogenic mechanisms of calcium stone formation in specific subsets of patients.

The plasma concentration of androstenedione and testosterone, metabolic clearance rate of androstenedione, and in vivo conversion ratio of androstenedione to testosterone have been studied in a normotensive 5-year-old female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to a deficiency of 11 β-hydroxylase. Prior to glucocorticoid administration, the urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids varied from 2.2 to 4.9 mg/24 hours, urinary excretion of pregnanetriol varied from 0.7 to 2.2 mg/24 hours, and total 17-hydroxysteroid excretion varied from 1.2 to 7.5 mg/24 hours. Urinary tetrahydro-11-deoxy cortisol (TSH) was detected at a concentration of 550 µg/24 hours. The plasma concentration of androstenedione varied from 100 to 530 mµg/100 ml and the plasma concentration of testosterone varied from 40 to 90 mµg/100 ml. These values are significantly elevated when compared to those obtained in normal prepubertal females. Urinary steroid excretion and plasma androgen concentrations fell to normal in response to glucocorticoid administration. The metabolic clearance rate of androstenedione was 890 liters per day per M2 and the in vivo conversion ratio of androstenedione to testosterone was 11%. The calculated production rate of androstenedione was 4.7 mg per day per M2. Virilization in congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11 β-hydroxylase deficiency can be explained by an elevated plasma concentration of testosterone, which can be accounted for on the basis of conversion from androstenedione.

The results of nonspecific resistance indices, hematological, biochemical research on complex treatment of calves suffering from bronchopneumonia. It is established that the use of antibiotics (intramitsynu, tsefatoksymu and betamoksu LA), drugs that regulate the acid–base status, provide therapeutic efficacy, respectively – 75, 94 and 88% and shorten the duration of their treatment in 7 – 12 days. The treatment had a positive impact on the overall condition of the animals. In the blood have established probable increase in the number of red blood cells, respectively, 23.2% (p ˂ 0.001); 36.6 (p ˂ 0.001); 29.5% (p ˂ 0.05), hemoglobin contents to 8.04 (p ˂ 0.05); 17.3 (p ˂ 0.001) and 17.5% (p ˂ 0.001), reducing the number of leukocytes (p ˂ 0.001) according to 31.8; 34.3; 36.6%. The content of total protein in serum of calves experimental groups increased to 3.75 (p ˂ 0,001); 6.38 (p ˂ 0.05) and 6.93% (p ˂ 0.001), respectively, due to increased albumin fraction in the second experimental group 18.4% (p ˂ 0.001), the third – 14.8% (p ˂ 0,01). The results showed that the applied treatment had a positive impact on the carotene content in blood serum (to 43.5; 34.6; 46.0%; p ˂ 0.05), total calcium (respectively 15.0, 14.7; p ˂ 0.05; 18.3%; p ˂ 0.05) and inorganic phosphorus (6.4; 15.3; 15.8%; p ˂ 0.05).Integrated treatment of calves suffering from bluetongue bronchopneumonia, helped indexes increase non–specific resistance. The data obtained by the use of antibiotics (intramitsynu, tsefatoksymu and betamoksu LA) promoted faster normalization lizotsymnoyi and bactericidal activity of blood. Thus, in the first experimental group LASK increased by 25.6% (p ˂ 0.001); the second – by 26.3% (p ˂ 0.001) and the third at 35.3% (p ˂ 0.001). BASK calves tended to increase according to 11.7; 10.6 and 11.3%.

Quantitative Identification

Abstract Quantitative determination of calcium, phosphorus, and oxalic acid, assisted by occasional determination of ammonia nitrogen and insoluble nitrogen when indicated by qualitative tests, provides a means of computing the component substances of calculi. The determinations may be performed by slight modifications of the methods in use in the routine clinical chemistry laboratory, although flame photometry is particularly convenient for the determination of calcium.

Pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin (DOX), epidoxorubicin (EPI), and their metabolites in plasma have been performed in eight patients receiving 40 to 56 mg/m2 of both anthracyclines as a bolus injection in two sequential cycles. Terminal half-life and volume of distribution appeared to be smaller in case of EPI, whereas plasma clearance and cumulative urinary excretion was larger in comparison to DOX. The major metabolite of DOX was doxorubicinol (Aol) followed by 7-deoxy-doxorubicinol (7d-Aolon). Metabolism to glucuronides was found in case of EPI only. The area under the curves (AUC) of the metabolites of EPI decreased in the order of the glucoronides E-glu greater than Eol-glu, 7d-Aolon greater than epirubicinol (Eol). The AUC of Eol was half of the value in its counterpart Aol. In the case of EPI, the AUC of 7d-Aolon was twice the level of that of the corresponding metabolite of DOX. The terminal half-lives of the cytostatic metabolites Aol and Eol were similar, but longer than the corresponding values of their parent drugs. Half-lives of the glucuronides (E-glu, Eol-glu) were similar to the half-life of their parent drug. 7d-Aolon had a somewhat shorter half-life in comparison to both DOX and EPI. Approximately 6.2% of EPI and 5.9% of DOX were excreted by the kidney during the initial 48 hours. Aol was found in the urine of patients treated with DOX, whereas Eol, E-glu, and Eol-glu were detected in urine of patients treated with EPI. The cumulative urinary excretion appeared to be 10.5% for EPI and its metabolites, and 6.9% for DOX and its metabolite. The plasma concentration v time curves of (7d)-aglycones showed a second peak between two and 12 hours after injection, suggesting an enterohepatic circulation for metabolites lacking the daunosamine sugar moiety. The plasma concentrations of the glucuronides were maximal at 1.2 hours for E-glu and 1.9 hours for Eol-glu. All other compounds reached their maximum plasma concentration during the first minutes after the administration of DOX and EPI. Deviating plasma kinetics were observed in one patient, probably due to prior drug administration.
