Analysis on Chemical Composition of Urinary Calculi and Evaluation on Metabolic Disturbance in 1080 Uyghur, Kazakh and Han Nationality Patients of Xinjiang

Urinary stones pose a significant health concern globally. The incidence rates vary and are influenced by diverse factors. Despite advancements in the treatment modalities, increasing rate of urinary stones necessitates the development of stone prevention strategies and understanding of metabolic risk factors. Objective: To determine the relationship between chemical composition of urinary calculi and evaluation on metabolic disturbance in 1080 Uyghur, Kazakh and Han patients of Xinjiang. Methods: The stone composition of 1080 patients and analysis of 24-h urine and serum biochemistry results of 775 cases was evaluated by infrared spectroscopic analysis and automatic biochemical machine respectively. Results: Among 644 cases of urinary stones, calcium oxalate stones (409 cases) and mixed type stones (436 cases) were predominant. Metabolic disturbances were found in 643 cases (82.97%) out of 775 patients, showing various urinary abnormalities like hyperuricosuria, hyperoxaluria, hyper-phosphaturia, hyper-cystinuria, hypercalciuria, hypomagnesuria, hypocitraturia, and reduced urine volume (<2000ml in 407 cases). Conclusions: Urinary calculi have intimate connection with metabolic evaluation. Metabolic evaluation and composition of urinary calculi have great significance in treatment and prevention of urinary calculi.

The current status of preventive measures for urinary calculi in children.

Urological calculus is a common disease in urology. Urological calculi are generally more common in adults but have become more common in children in recent years. Most existing studies focus on the prevention of urinary calculi in adults; there are relatively few articles on calculi in children. Reported preventive measures are not comprehensive enough, while the latest research progress has not been updated. The pathogenesis and preventive measures associated with urinary calculi have been the focus of research, but many preventive measures still need further clarification. This article reviews the progress on preventive measures for urinary calculi in children.

Application of Computer-Aided Diagnosis Algorithm in CT Images of Urinary Calculi

In recent years, computer-aided diagnosis has developed from pure theory to clinical trials, which has proved its feasibility and applicability in the diagnosis of breast cancer and pulmonary nodules. Therefore, combined with the actual medical background, computer-aided diagnosis is used in the analysis of urinary calculi components in patients, and the composition and structure of calcium oxalate calculi and anhydrous uric acid calculi are accurately analyzed, which has important guiding significance for the clinical treatment and prevention of urinary calculi.

Physico-Chemical Quality of Drinking Water in the South of Algeria (Case of El-Oued Region) Study of Excess Minerals

The Aim of this Study was to Determine the Physicochemical Composition of Water Intended for Human Consumption in Several Regions of El-Oued - Algeria. Excess Minerals in Drinking Water, Including Magnesium, Calcium, Sulfates, Chloride and Fluorides Play a Fundamental Role in the Prevention of Urinary Calculi, which are Formed Mainly from Calcium Oxalate. the Results Revealed that Wholes Water Samples are Analyzed Magnesium ([Mg 2+] > 50 Mg/L). the Rate of Sulfate Ions Average 638 Mg/l, Exceeding the Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC) Recommended by WHO ([SO42ˉ] > 250 Mg / L). in Addition, 85% had Excess Fluoride [Fˉ] > 0.85 Mg/L, and 100% are Calcium, the Rate of Ca2+ is Greater than 150 Mg/L.

Urinary calculi formation in sheep on high wheat grain diets

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.

Growth studies of calcium oxalate in the presence of various compounds and ions. II.

SUMMARY Crystallisation of calcium oxalate (a major constituent and often the nucleus of urinary calculi) can be prevented or slowed down by introducing into the crystallising medium either a compound or ion which forms a soluble stable complex with the calcium or oxalate ion, or a substance which is absorbed on to some crystal faces, thus causing a retardation in crystal growth. Many substances have been shown to be effective in bringing about this change. Tests carried out in urine indicate that inhibitors of crystal growth function just as effectively in this medium as in a buffer solution and they may therefore be of use in the prevention of urinary calculi.

TREATMENT OF PARAPLEGIA RESULTING FROM TRAUMA TO THE SPINAL CORD

The essentials in the care of the patient suffering from a paralysis of the legs resulting from injury to the spinal cord consist of the prompt application of the following points: Rotation or flexion of the spine should be studiously avoided or the spinal cord may be severed. The deformity of the spine should be promptly reduced by traction or hyperextension or both. The patient must be turned every two hours at least. Proper care of the bladder includes: Avoidance of distention or continuous contraction. Encouragement of the development of an automatic bladder. Avoidance of urinary sepsis, or prompt treatment if it occurs. Prevention of urinary calculi by exercising upper extremities in bed and by early ambulation. Proper care of the skin Avoid prolonged pressure; turn frequently. The bed should be clean, dry, smooth and flat. Maintain adequate protein intake. Large decubitus ulcers should be repaired surgically.

PRESENT STATUS OF DIETARY REGIMENS IN URINARY INFECTIONS

Urology, as one of the younger medical specialties, has made rapid advances and has a record of brilliant achievement. During the last forty years the surgical and diagnostic branches, aided by the inventive genius of men within and without the profession, have produced remarkable results. The medical side of urology, on the contrary, had advanced more slowly. Modern textbooks of urology attest to the rapid change in surgical practice and instrumental technic, but the lack of advance in the medical branch left open a fertile field for charlatans and drug promoters. During the last five years, however, medical urology has progressed in two ways: first, by a more careful study of the organisms most frequently associated with urologic infections, and, second, by attempts at inhibiting the growth of those organisms with dietary therapy. In studying the causes and prevention of urinary calculi, emphasis has been placed on other causes besides
