Hyperoxaluria, nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and renal failure after massive resection of the small intestine: report of a case.

Hyperoxaluria is frequently seen in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, or after resection of the ileum. It is assumed to be responsible for the development of nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis (oxalate nephrosis) and progressive renal impairment in these patients. Steatorrhea may aggravate the severity of hyperoxaluria. A 60-year-old male underwent massive resection of the jejunum and ileum 10 years prior to admission, due to strangulation of the small bowel, with occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. He remained well except for steatorrhea which developed two-and-a-half years prior to admission, when microhematuria, proteinuria and oxaluria developed progressively. Since that time, the nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and renal failure have continued to worsen despite therapy with oxalate restriction and oxalate-binding agents. A renal biopsy, performed late in the clinical course, showed severe changes in the renal parenchyma. The decline in renal function proved irreversible. The unusual metabolic consequences of massive resection of the small intestine and their mechanisms are discussed.     

Evaluation of clinical criteria for the acute respiratory distress syndrome in pediatric patients.

OBJECTIVE: The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the validity of the North American-European Consensus Committee (NAECC) definition for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in pediatric patients. A secondary aim was to evaluate the threshold value for the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, used to determine which pediatric patients have ARDS. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Pediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Pediatric intensive care unit patients who required mechanical ventilation, died, and underwent autopsy between January 1, 1996, and December 31, 2002 (n = 34). INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Clinical and chest radiograph information was collected retrospectively through chart review using a standardized data collection tool. Data included the criteria specified in the NAECC definition of ARDS and demographic information. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and likelihood ratio of clinical diagnosis of ARDS compared with a pathologic diagnosis. The threshold value of PaO2/FiO2 was identified by plotting receiver operating characteristics curves and comparing the areas under the curves. The NAECC definition yielded a sensitivity of 80.7% (95% confidence interval 60-92%), specificity of 71.4% (95% confidence interval 30-95), positive predictive value of 91.3% (95% confidence interval 70-98), negative predictive value of 50.0% (95% confidence interval 20-78), and likelihood ratio of 2.82. A PaO2/FiO2 <150 had a slightly higher (but not significantly different) specificity for ARDS than a value >200 (71% vs. 86%, p = .15) without changing sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests the need for further research with larger number of children to identify an optimal Pao2/Fio2 threshold for identifying ARDS in this population.     

Loss of heterozygosity for distal markers on 22q in human gliomas.

Loss of constitutional heterozygosity as determined through the analysis of restriction-fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) on tumoral and constitutional DNA has proven to be helpful to delimit the location of tumor-suppressor genes in the human genome. In malignant gliomas this approach indicates that chromosomes 9p, 10, 17p, and 22 may contain genes of this category involved in its origin and/or progression. Regarding chromosome 22, the data so far provided by molecular studies confirmed those previously reported by cytogenetic studies, suggesting the existence of a sub-group of malignant gliomas characterized by monosomy of this chromosome. However, the precise location of the putative glioma suppressor gene on chromosome 22 remains ambiguous. We have performed a combined cytogenetic and RFLP study on a series of 31 gliomas, looking for structural abnormalities of this chromosome. In 3 instances, terminal deletions of the long arm of chromosome 22 were observed by both methodologies, suggesting that the band q13 region distal to the D22S80 marker might be the critical domain non-randomly involved in tumor suppression of gliomas.

Involvement of IL-1beta in acute stress-induced worsening of cerebral ischaemia in rats.

Stress is known to be one of the risk factors of stroke. Most of the knowledge on the effects of stress on cerebrovascular disease in humans is restricted to catecholamines and glucocorticoids effects on blood pressure and/or development of atherosclerosis. However, few experimental studies have examined the possible mechanisms by which stress may affect stroke outcome. We have used an acute stress protocol consisting of the exposure of male Fischer rats to an acute, single exposure immobilisation protocol (6 h) prior to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), and we have found that stress worsens behavioural and neurological outcomes and increased infarct size after MCAO. The possible regulatory role of the TNFalpha and IL-1beta was studied by looking at the release of these cytokines in brain. The results of the present study showed an increase in IL-1beta release in cerebral cortex after exposure to acute stress. Brain levels of IL-1beta are also higher in previously stressed MCAO rats than in MCAO animals without stress. Pharmacological blockade of IL-1beta with an antibody anti-IL-1beta led to a decrease in the infarct size as well as in neurological and behavioural deficits after MCAO. In summary, our results indicate that IL-1beta, but not TNFalpha, accounts at least partly for the worsening of MCAO consequences in brain of rats exposed to acute stress.
