    Notes: Summary The urinary excretion of calcium, oxalate, citrate and magnesium, and the relative saturation products in urine of either calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate, were determined in male duodenal ulcer (DU) patients preoperatively (n=60), and 1 and 5 years following highly selective vagotomy (HSV), and in male healthy controls (n=30). In DU before HSV citrate and magnesium were lowered, oxalate was in the low normal range and calcium was normal. The calcium oxalate product was lower than in controls, while the calcium phosphate product was unchanged. Within 5 years HSV normalized urinary citrate and oxalate, but not urinary magnesium, and the median urinary pH was lower than pre-operatively. There thus results a normal product for calcium oxalate, but a reduced one for calcium phosphate. It is suggested that: (1) unoperated DU patients have a urine composition similar to that cxhibited in normocalciuric recurrent calcium urolithiasis; (2) this spectrum of urinary constituents may be changed by HSV.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei Gesunden (n=34) und Urolithiasis-Patienten mit den verschiedenen definierten metabolischen Untergruppen, einschließlich primärer Hyperparathyreoidismus (pHPT), wurden Parathormon (PTH) mittels zwei verschiedenen Antikörpern, sowie zyklische Nukleotide (cAMP; cGMP im Urin und Plasma studiert, außerdem deren nephrogene Komponente berechnet. Bei Nicht-pHPT-Steinkrankheit (=sog. idiopathische Form) war das nephrogene cAMP (2 h-Nüchternurin) bei der normocalciurisch verlaufenden Mehrheit (n=60) signifikant niedriger als normal, und auch in den anderen Untergruppen (absorptive Hypercalciurie,n=15; renale Hypercalciurie,n=23; Harnsäure-Lithiasis,n=17; Harnsäure/Calciumoxalat-Lithiasis,n=12) waren die Medianwerte niedriger als jener der Kontrollgruppe. Umgekehrt ist nephrogenes cAMP bei pHPT (n=20) stark erhöht, und nur bei dieser Störung war nephrogenes cGMP (2 h-Urin) ebenfalls erhöht. Die gesamte Nukleotid-Produktion (=Summe der nephrogenen Anteile von cAMP und cGMP) ist bei normocalciurisch verlaufender Steinkrankheit signifikant erniedrigt, bei pHPT erhöht. Ausgenommen hohes cAMP bei pHPT sind die Plasma-Nukleotide nicht verschieden. Steinpatienten (idiopathisch und pHPT) haben gemeinsam ein signifikant niedrigeres Serum-Phosphat und eine niedrigere Phosphatschwelle als Gesunde. Ausgenommen pHPT sind die Unterschiede in allen Gruppen beim Serum-Gesamtcalcium nur minutiös, ionisiertes Calcium ist bei renaler Hypercalciurie innerhalb des Normbereiches mäßig erhöht. PTH ist in allen Untergruppen der idiopathischen Lithiasis entweder normal bis niedrig (assay für intaktes Hormon) oder in einigen (absorptive und renale Hypercalciurie, alternativ Harnsäure oder Calcium-Oxalat-bildende Patienten) gering, aber signifikant erhöht (assay für mittlere bioinaktive Hormonregion). Mit den gleichen Bestimmungsmethoden ist das mediane PTH bei operativ bewiesenem pHPT um Faktor 8 bzw. 3 höher als bei gesunden Kontrollen. Aus den Ergebnissen wird gefolgert, daß a) die idiopathische Harnsteinkrankheit mit normaler bis niedriger renaler Bioaktivität der Nebenschilddrüsen einhergeht und diese Patienten bei normal-niedrigem Urin-cAMP eine niedrige renale Phosphatschwelle unbekannter Ätiologie aufweisen; b) das bei drei Untergruppen erhöhte Serum-PTH, gemessen mit einem Antikörper mit vorrangiger Erkennung der bio-inaktiven mittleren Hormonregion, nicht mit dem gleichzeitig normalen Urin- bzw. nephrogenen cAMP dieser Gruppen übereinstimmt, wohl aber mit normalem oder niedrigem PTH, gemessen mit einem assay, der alle Anteile des menschlichen Hormons erkennt; c) die Aktivität der tubulären Guanylat-Zyklase bei pHPT wahrscheinlich gesteigert ist, nicht jedoch in Abwesenheit von Hypercalcämie oder größerem PTH-Exzeß (übrige Gruppen).
    Notes: Summary In healthy controls (n=34) and in the various metabolically defined subgroups of urolithiasis patients, including primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), parathyroid hormone (PTH) was studied using two different antisera, as were the cyclic nucleotides (cAMP; cGMP) and related variables in both urine and plasma; in addition, the nephrogenous components of the cyclic nucleotides were also determined. In nonpHPT (so-called idiopathic) stone disease, nephrogenous cAMP (2-h fasting urine) was significantly lower than normal in the normo-calciuric majority (n=60), and also lower than normal (medians) in all the other subgroups (absorptive hypercalciuria,n=15; renal hypercalciuria,n=23; uric acid lithiasis,n=17; uric/calcium oxalate lithiasis,n=12). In contrast, it was significantly elevated in pHPT (n=20), and only in this latter condition was nephrogenous cGMP (2-h urine) elevated. The total nucleotide production (sum of nephrogenous cAMP + nephrogenous cGMP) is again significantly lower only in normo-calciuric calcium stone disease. Except for high values in pHPT, no differences in plasma nucleotides are observed. Stone patients (idiopathic and pHPT) have significantly lower-than-normal serum phosphate and phosphate threshold in common. With the exception of pHPT, the differences in serum calcium are only minute, while ionised calcium is moderately elevated within the normal range in the serum of renal hypercalciuria patients. In all subgroups of idiopathic lithiasis, PTH is either normal to low (intact hormone assay), or slightly but significantly elevated in three subgroups (absorptive and renal hypercalciuria, patients alternately forming uric acid or calcium oxalate stones), when measured in an assay recognizing only a bioinactive hormone fragment (mid-portion assay). In surgically proven pHPT, median PTH established with the same two assays, is elevated by a factor of 8 (intact hormone assay), or 3 (mid-portion assay) in comparison with healthy controls. From the results it is concluded that a) idiopathic urolithiasis is accompanied by normal or low renal bioactivity of the parathyroid glands in the presence of a low renal phosphate threshold concentration; b) the elevated serum PTH in three idiopathic subgroups measured with an antibody with recognition largely of the bioinactive mid-portion of the hormone, is not in accordance with the simultaneously normal or low urinary and nephrogenous cAMP of these individuals, but is in accord with the normal or low serum PTH measured with an antibody recognizing all regions of the human hormone; c) the activity of tubular guanylate cyclase in pHPT is probably increased, but not in situations where both hypercalcemia and a considerable excess of parathyroid hormone are absent (remaining groups).

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei morbider Adipositas wurde der Einfluß der jejuno-ilealen Bypass-Operation auf den Mineralstoffwechsel untersucht. Mit postoperativer oraler Calcium- und Kalium-Substitution blieben 2 und 5 Jahre nach Bypass-Operation im Serum die Calcium-Fraktionen, Parathormon, Phosphat, Kalium und der Knochenmineralgehalt unverändert, während Serum-Magnesium abfiel. Serum-25-Hydroxyvitamin D war bereits präoperativ niedrig und blieb so postoperativ. Nach der Operation stieg die Urinausscheidung von Oxalat bis in den oberen Normbereich an, während diejenige von Calcium, Magnesium und Citrat stark abfiel. Das Aktivitätsprodukt von Calciumoxalat im Urin blieb unverändert, während das von Brushit abfiel. Da diese Veränderungen im Urin aller Patienten nachweisbar waren, bleiben die Ursachen der postoperativen Steinbildung bei 4 von 19 Patienten zur Zeit unklar. Wir folgern, daß die Empfehlung zur präzisen oralen Calcium-Substitution nach jejuno-ilealem Bypass gerechtfertigt erscheint, weil dadurch langfristige ernste Störungen des Calcium-Stoffwechsels vermieden, außerdem die intestinale Oxalat-Absorption reduziert werden.
    Notes: Summary The influence of jejuno-ileal bypass surgery on mineral metabolism was studied in patients with morbid obesity before operation, and 2 and 5 years after-wards. When calcium and potassium were orally substituted post-operatively, in serum calcium fractions, parathyroid hormone, phosphate, potassium and the bone mineral content remained unchanged, while serum magnesium decreased. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was already low before bypass operation, and did not change thereafter. Post-operatively, the urinary excretion of oxalate rose into the upper normal range, while that of calcium, magnesium and citrate was markedly reduced. The urinary activity product of calcium oxalate rose slightly, but that of brushite decreased. Since these changes were manifest in the urine of all patients, the reasons for the post-operative formation of renal stones in 4 of 19 patients remain unclear at the moment. We conclude that the recommendation for precise oral calcium substitution after jejuno-ileal bypass operation seems justified in order to avoid serious disturbances of calcium metabolism in the long term, and to reduce intestinal oxalate absorption.

    Notes: Summary We have searched for elevated basal plasma somatostatin in patients with documented cholelithiasis (n=37) and compared the data with healthy control subjects (n=27). Using an acidic assay system for measuring somatostatin in unprocessed plasma, we could not find deviations from normal values in biliary stone patients. Also basal blood levels of other islet cell hormones (insulin, glucagon) and minerals (calcium, magnesium) are unchanged. Further studies are needed to find out whether an abnormal response of plasma somatostatin to appropriate stimuli can play a role in the etiology of biliary stones.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An drei Kollektiven (jen=12) von männlichen Gesunden (22–43 Jahre), Patienten mit rezidivierender Calcium-Urolithiasis (21–36 Jahre), Hyperparathyreoidismus (HPT; 17–71 Jahre) wurden gleichzeitig renales zyklisches Adenosinmonophosphat (RcAMP), fraktionelle tubuläre Phosphat-Rückresorption und Serum-Parathormon während endogener Kreatininclearance gemessen. Gesunde haben ein RcAMP (µMol/g Kreatinin) von 1,48±SEM 0,27; Steinkranke 2,037±0,343 (nicht signifikant); HPT 6,234±0,454 (p〈0,001). Zwischen HPT und Gesunden besteht kein Überlappungsbereich. Die Phosphat-Rückresorption ist am niedrigsten bei HPT (0,84±0,015), höher bei Gesunden (0,924±0,007), am höchsten bei Steinkranken (0,941±0,007). Alle Gruppenunterschiede sind statistisch signifikant. Parathormon (pg-equiv/ml) ist unter den gewählten Bedingungen, d.h. mäßige Hydrierung der Versuchsperson, am niedrigsten bei Steinkranken (〈100–339), höher bei Gesunden (〈100–933), am höchsten bei HPT (400–1150). Zwischen ersteren und letzeren besteht kein Überlappungsbereich, wohl aber zwischen Gesunden und HPT. Die resultierende diagnostische Unsicherheit kann im Einzelfall durch zusätzliche Bestimmungen von RcAMP und ionisiertem Serum-Calcium umgangen werden: Serum-PTH beachtend liegt HPT außerhalb, RCU innerhalb der 2-Sigmabereiche Gesunder. Ein solches diagnostisches Vorgehen erscheint bisherigen Verfahren überlegen, bedarf aber der Ausdehnung auf ein größeres Krankengut. Da HPT eine Krankheit des mittleren und gehobenen Alters ist, muß außerdem die Erstellung von Normbereichen für RcAMP bei Gesunden dieser Altersdekaden angestrebt werden.
    Notes: Summary In three groups (n=12 each) of male controls (22–43 years), patients with recurring calcium urolithiasis (21–36 years) and hyperparathyroidism (HPT; 17–71 years) proven by surgery renal cyclic adenosine monophosphate (RcAMP), fractional tubular phosphate reabsorption and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) were measured during endogenous creatinine clearance. RcAMP (µMol/g creatinine) was: controls 1.48±SEM 0.27; stone formers 2.037±0.343 (not significantly different); HPT 6.234±0.454 (p〈0.001). There is no overlap between HPT and controls. Phosphate reabsorption is least in HPT (0.84±0.015), higher in controls (0.924±0.004) and stone formers (0.941±0.007). All differences are statistically significant. Under the conditions selected (moderate hydration of individuals) Serum PTH (pg-equiv/ml) is lowest in stome formers (〈100–339), higher in controls (〈100–933) and HPT (400–1150). There is no overlap in PTH between the former and the latter group but a marked one between controls and HPT. For clinical purposes the resulting diagnostic uncertainty in a given patient can be overcome by additional determinations of RcAMP and ionised serum calcium: when referring to serum PTH HPT patients fall outside, RCU patients within 2 standard deviations of either parameter in control subjects. This procedure presently appears superior to those proposed in the past (urinary cAMP etc.) but requires confirmation in larger patient populations. Moreover, since HPT prevails in middle and upper age decades, their RcAMP values and those of RCU patients should be related to a range seen in closely age- and sex-matched controls.

    Notes: Alpha-hydroxy acids are a common class of naturally occurring chemicals that have become increasingly popular for cosmetic use. Currently alpha-hydroxy acids from both natural and synthetic sources are being used in skincare products. From lactic acid to complex natural blends, several different approaches have been adopted for the use of alpha-hydroxy acids. This paper reviews the history of alpha-hydroxy acids use in cosmetics and gives new data showing the increased rate of cell renewal by topical application.
