    Notes: Summary 50 patients were studied with respect to renal tubular damage related to open operative, percutaneous and extracorporeal shock wave treatment of renal stones. Preoperative and postoperative urinary N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG) levels were measured as a marker of renal damage. There was no significant evidence of renal tubular damage in patients who underwent a conventional or percutaneous nephrolithotomy; urinary NAG excretion was significantly increased after ischaemic surgery. After extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) serum NAG levels increased, probably because a damage of the white blood cells in cutaneous and renal circulation, but a slight increase of urinary NAG excretion could suggest a mild renal tubular damage especially in case of more than 2,000 shocks.

    Notes: Summary Second generation lithotripters require a higher number of shocks per session as well as an increased rate of secondary treatments for complete stone disintegration compared to the original spark gap lithotripter. The clinical relevance of biological side effects caused by such treatment are less known. We evaluated urinary excretion of N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG) before and after lithotripsy in 50 patients treated with a low pressure spark gap lithotripter (Dornier HM3) and in 36 patients treated with a piezoelectric lithotripter (Wolf Piezolith 2200) in an attempt to evaluate their side effects on renal tissue. The urinary excretion of NAG increased after both spark gap lithotripsy using the modified HM3 and piezoelectric lithtripsy. These changes may be associated with slight tubular damage that would occur after anesthesia-free lithotripsy in patients subjected both to a high number of shocks and to secondary treatments.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mittels DSC Mikrokalorimetrie wurde die thermische Denaturierung von mikrobieller Ribonuklease T1 (RNAase T1) als eine Funktion despH-Wertes untersucht. Die mittleren Denaturierungstemperaturen, Enthalpieänderungen und Wärmekapazitätsänderungen von Ribonuklease T1 wurden mit denen von pankreatischer Ribonuklease A (RNAase A) verglichen. Man fand, daß das mikrobielle Protein T1 einen komplizierteren Konformationsübergang zeigt, als die bei Ribonuklease A auftretende einfache Zweizustandsänderung. Es wird weiterhin die Hypothese des Auftretens einer “geschmolzenen Kügelchen” Form diskutiert. Die Konformationsbeständigkeit von RNAase T1 ist bei hohenpH-Werten niedriger als die von RNAase A. Die größte Stabilität von RNAase T1 liegt bei einempH-Wert von etwa 5, während die von RNAase A bei etwapH=8. Bei einempH-Wert von 3.7 wird durch einen reproduzierbaren exothermen Peak das Auftreten einer irreversiblen Aggregation angezeigt. Die Konformationsänderungen von RNAase T1 sind impH-Wertbereich 4.5 bis 7.0 reversibel, die von RNAase A sind irreversibel bei einempH-Wert von mindestens 8.0.
    Notes: Abstract The thermal denaturation of microbial Ribonuclease T1 (RNAase T1) as a function ofpH, was studied by means of DSC microcalorimetry. The midpoint denaturation temperatures, enthalpy changes and heat capacity changes of Ribonuclease T1 were compared with those obtained for pancreatic Ribonuclease A (RNAase A). It was found that the microbial T1 protein undergoes a more complex conformational transition than the simple two-state transition shown by Ribonuclease A. The hypothesis of the presence of a ‘molten globule’ form is discussed. The conformational stability of RNAase T1 is lower than that of RNAase A at highpH values. Indeed, the maximum stability of RNAase T1 occurs atpH ≈ 5, whereas that of RNAase A occurs atpH ≈ 8. AtpH=3.7 an irreversible aggregation phenomenon was indicated by the existence of a reproducible exothermic peak. The conformational transition of RNAase T1 is reversible in the range ofpH 4.5–7.0, whereas it becomes irreversible atpH≥8.0 as for RNAase A.
