    Abstract Hyperoxaluria is one of the leading causes of calcium oxalate stone formation in the kidney. Since hyperoxaluria produces Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress in the kidney, it is thus likely that the adaptive unfolded protein response might affect the mitochondrial population as ER and mitochondria share close physical and functional interactions mandatory for several biological processes. Thus this work was designed to study the putative effects of endoplasmic reticulum stress on the renal mitochondria during hyperoxaluria-induced nephrolithiasis. The results showed that hyperoxaluria induced an ER stress led to the unfolded protein response in the renal tissue of experimental rats. Hampered mitochondrion functioning was detected with decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and upsurged mitochondria calcium. These changes in the mitochondria function and ER stress are preceded by apoptosis. The expression of Sigma-1 receptor protein found in the Mitochondria associated ER membranes, the connecting link between ER and mitochondria was found to decrease in the hyperoxaluric rats. Inhibition of ER stress by 4-Phenylbutyric acid prevented the decrease in mitochondria membrane potential and increase in mitochondria calcium observed in hyperoxaluric rats. Also, it restored the protein expression of the sigma-1 receptor protein. On the other hand, N-acetyl cysteine had a nominal impact on the reduction of the ER stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. In conclusion, our data showed that hyperoxaluria induces renal ER stress which triggers mitochondria dysfunction, might be via alteration in the sigma-1 receptor protein in the mitochondria-associated ER membranes, which leads to apoptosis, renal injury, and calcium oxalate crystal deposition.

    Abstract An in vitro system employing collagen isolated from the sheep tendons to induce mineralization and demineralization reactions was used not only to study the effect of various concentrations of fluoride on the collagen-induced mineralization and demineralization reactions but also to compare their action with the inhibitors of mineralization and/or demineralization. Studies demonstrated that under physiological conditions, at lower concentrations (5 × 10⁻⁶ to 5 × 10⁻⁵ M) fluoride inhibited while at higher concentrations (> 10⁻⁴ M), it stimulated the collagen-induced in vitro mineralization. At higher concentrations, fluoride was also found to inhibit the demineralization of the collagen bound preformed mineral phase. At low concentrations, fluoride acted like Mg²⁺ to inhibit mineralization while at higher concentration, it acted like crystal poisons (e.g., pyrophosphate phosphonates, citrate) to inhibit demineralization. However, unlike magnesium and pyrophosphate, fluoride at its higher concentrations was found to stimulate rather than inhibit the process of mineralization.

    Abstract Hyperoxaluria-associated deposition of calcium oxalate crystals results from oxalate-induced renal injury and inflammation. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of 4-Phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA), a chemical chaperone, in ethylene glycol-induced hyperoxaluria and compare its effect with antioxidant, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given ethylene glycol in drinking water for 28 days to induce hyperoxaluria. 4-PBA and NAC were given by oral gavage. Effect of 4-PBA was analyzed in both prophylactic and curative regimens. After every 7 days, 24-h urine samples were analyzed for kidney injury and inflammation markers. Increased amounts of kidney injury markers like Kidney injury molecule-1, Lactate dehydrogenase, and N-acetyl-β-glucoseaminidase were found in the urine of hyperoxaluric rats which were significantly reduced by 4-PBA treatment in both prophylactic and curative regimens. Inflammatory markers IL-1β, IL-6, and MCP-1 were also raised in the urine of hyperoxaluric rats which were significantly decreased by 4-PBA treatment. Hyperoxaluria was accompanied with renal oxidative stress as reflected by decreased glutathione redox status and increased reactive oxygen species which was significantly reduced by 4-PBA treatment. Histological study with H&E and Pizzolato staining showed numerous calcium oxalate crystal deposits in the renal tissues of hyperoxaluric rats. However, no significant crystal deposits were seen in the 4-PBA-treated hyperoxaluric rats. N-acetyl cysteine treatment effectively decreased renal oxidative stress but did not alter the production of inflammatory markers. Collectively, the present study suggested the potential protective effect of 4-PBA in hyperoxaluria-induced renal injury and inflammation.

    Abstract Myocardial Abscess (MA) is a rare life threatening condition mostly occurring secondary to underlying infective endocarditis. But it can also be found secondary to septicemia with some unknown focus of sepsis in the body. Development of MA as a consequence of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) secondary to myocardial infarction is very rare. We report the case of 56 year old male, who presented with high grade fever and leukocytosis. On detailed evaluation, he was found to have a myocardial abscess with underlying LVA.

    Abstract The impact of cryopreservation in assisted reproduction is increasingly appreciated. Cells, oocytes, and embryos preserved under ultralow temperature can endure storage for indefinite time with almost no alteration in their metabolic and genetic components. Advances in cryopreservation and its applications to preserve cells, gametes, and embryos offer opportunities in conservation of biodiversity and dissemination of elite livestock germplasm. This chapter describes the vitrification for cryopreservation of livestock embryos.

    Abstract The interactions between the main cellular sources of ROS, such as mitochondria and NADPH oxidase, are known to play an imperative role in the pathogenesis of hyperoxaluria-induced nephrolithiasis. The present study was designed to investigate the protective effect of a combinatorial therapy based on the attenuation of oxidative stress with antioxidant (N-acetyl cysteine), and NADPH oxidase inhibitor (apocynin), that might be required to effectively eliminate hyperoxaluric manifestations. Hyperoxaluria was induced in male Wistar rats by administering 0.4% ethylene glycol with 1% ammonium chloride in drinking water for 9 days. Hyperoxaluria accentuated renal oxidative stress in terms of increased ROS production and lipid peroxidation. Mitochondrial dysfunction, a central deleterious event in renal stone crystallization, was evident by decreased activities of electron transport chain complex I, II and IV, augmented mitochondrial ROS, reduced GSH/GSSG ratio, which resulted in the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening as indicated by increased mitochondrial swelling in hyperoxaluric rats. Furthermore, NADPH oxidase activity was significantly increased, with raised expression of NOX1, NOX2, NOX4, p38MAPK and MnSOD, in the renal tissue of hyperoxaluric rats compared to control. However, combinatorial therapy with N-acetyl cysteine (50mg/kg/day) and apocynin (200mg/kg/day), intraperitoneally, significantly improved renal functions in hyperoxaluric rats and considerably ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction. NAC with apocynin was also found to be effective in reducing the redundant activity of NADPH oxidase in renal tissue of hyperoxaluric rats. Hence, our investigation provides novel mechanistic insights that combinatorial approaches using targeted modulators of ROS offer therapeutic benefits in hyperoxaluria-induced nephrolithiasis.
