Abstract
Urinary infectious stones are challenging due to bacterial involvement, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of these conditions. Antibiotic-resistant urease-producing bacteria further complicate clinical management. In this study, analysis of urine and stone samples from urinary tract infection (UTI) patients revealed microbial shifts, gene enrichment in stones, and metabolic pathway disparities; antibiotic resistance gene trends were phylum-specific, urease-producing bacteria are at risk of acquiring AMR carried by Enterobacteriaceae under antibiotic, emphasizing potential AMR dissemination between them; Correlations of key pathogenic species in kidney stone and urine microbial communities highlight the need for targeted therapeutic strategies to manage complexities in UTIs; Stones and urine contain a variety of deleterious genes even before antibiotic use, and piperacillin/tazobactam better reduced the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in stones and urine. The presence of diverse antibiotic resistance and virulence genes underscores challenges in clinical management and emphasizes the need for effective treatment strategies to mitigate risks associated with UTIs and urinary infectious stone formation. Ongoing research is vital for advancing knowledge and developing innovative approaches to address these urological conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Kidney stone formation is complex; urinary protein inhibitors play a major role in natural defense against stone formation. Using attenuated total-reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy of kidney stones, proteins are usually not quantified and often reported as 'organic matrix', for which there is little attention: treatment of urolithiasis is based on the nature of the major organic/inorganic stone compound. Literature no longer regards urinary proteins as innocent bystander, but highlights the role of proteins as urolithiasis modulators. We explored the potential significance of the protein content of kidney stones. METHODS 800 stones were analyzed using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy; spectra were corrected for protein content. The ratio of the amide I peak (1655 cm-1) divided by the maximum peak was calculated. A subgroup of stones (n = 43) was weighed; protein concentration was assayed. Kidney stone composition was taken into account when calculating protein concentration. Electrophoresis was implemented to investigate the protein bands. Multiple regression analysis was carried out to study the influence of various demographic variables (age, gender, stone type) on protein concentration. RESULTS Protein concentration showed a marked variation according to the stone composition. High relative protein content (>0.4% stone mass) was found in mixed calcium apatite/calcium oxalate dihydrate stones, mixed calcium oxalate dihydrate/calcium oxalate monohydrate/calcium apatite stones, and mixed calcium oxalate monohydrate/brushite stones, whereas lower protein percentages were found in cystine, urate, and calcium oxalate monohydrate stones. Protein concentration was dependent of the patient's age. CONCLUSION ATR-FTIR is a practical way for assessing protein concentration in kidney stones.

Abstract
The spectroscopic study of pathological calcifications (including kidney stones) is extremely rich and helps to improve the understanding of the physical and chemical processes associated with their formation. While Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) imaging and optical/electron microscopies are routine techniques in hospitals, there has been a dearth of solid-state NMR studies introduced into this area of medical research, probably due to the scarcity of this analytical technique in hospital facilities. This work introduces effective multinuclear and multidimensional solid-state NMR methodologies to study the complex chemical and structural properties characterizing kidney stone composition. As a basis for comparison, three hydrates (n = 1 , 2 and 3) of calcium oxalate are examined along with nine representative kidney stones. The multinuclear magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR approach adopted investigates the 1 H , 13 C , 31 P and 31 P nuclei, with the 1 H and 13 C MAS NMR data able to be readily deconvoluted into the constituent elements associated with the different oxalates and organics present. For the first time, the full interpretation of highly resolved 1 H NMR spectra is presented for the three hydrates, based on the structure and local dynamics. The corresponding 31 P MAS NMR data indicates the presence of low-level inorganic phosphate species; however, the complexity of these data make the precise identification of the phases difficult to assign. This work provides physicians, urologists and nephrologists with additional avenues of spectroscopic investigation to interrogate this complex medical dilemma that requires real, multitechnique approaches to generate effective outcomes.

Abstract
GeoBioMed - a new transdisciplinary approach that integrates the fields of geology, biology and medicine - reveals that kidney stones composed of calcium-rich minerals precipitate from a continuum of repeated events of crystallization, dissolution and recrystallization that result from the same fundamental natural processes that have governed billions of years of biomineralization on Earth. This contextual change in our understanding of renal stone formation opens fundamentally new avenues of human kidney stone investigation that include analyses of crystalline structure and stratigraphy, diagenetic phase transitions, and paragenetic sequences across broad length scales from hundreds of nanometres to centimetres (five Powers of 10). This paradigm shift has also enabled the development of a new kidney stone classification scheme according to thermodynamic energetics and crystalline architecture. Evidence suggests that ≥50% of the total volume of individual stones have undergone repeated in vivo dissolution and recrystallization. Amorphous calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite spherules coalesce to form planar concentric zoning and sector zones that indicate disequilibrium precipitation. In addition, calcium oxalate dihydrate and calcium oxalate monohydrate crystal aggregates exhibit high-frequency organic-matter-rich and mineral-rich nanolayering that is orders of magnitude higher than layering observed in analogous coral reef, Roman aqueduct, cave, deep subsurface and hot-spring deposits. This higher frequency nanolayering represents the unique microenvironment of the kidney in which potent crystallization promoters and inhibitors are working in opposition. These GeoBioMed insights identify previously unexplored strategies for development and testing of new clinical therapies for the prevention and treatment of kidney stones.

Abstract
The interaction between organs is a crucial part of modern medicine. As a very prerequisite to manage a disease, practitioners should have a full awareness of the related organs. Kidney and heart are two vital organs that are closely interconnected in various fields. These two organs have a lot of common risk factors for making a person unhealthy; therefore, if you prevent the disease in one of them, the other's morbidity might be alleviated as well. Among them, nephrolithiasis and myocardial infarction (MI) have more risk factors in common, and both could be fatal. Also, these two diseases are important regarding the prevalence, incidence, and burden of disease. Some studies confirm the relationship between MI and nephrolithiasis; however, further researches are needed to discover the exact direction of their relationship. The present review aims to explain the mechanism of MI and nephrolithiasis; clarify the relationship between these two disease based on physiological, pathological, and clinical studies; and propose some solutions for the prevention and treatment of such diseases.

Abstract
Randall plaques (RPs) can contribute to the formation of idiopathic calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones; however, genes related to RP formation have not been identified. We previously reported the potential therapeutic role of osteopontin (OPN) and macrophages in CaOx kidney stone formation, discovered using genome-recombined mice and genome-wide analyses. Here, to characterize the genetic pathogenesis of RPs, we used microarrays and immunohistology to compare gene expression among renal papillary RP and non-RP tissues of 23 CaOx stone formers (SFs) (age- and sex-matched) and normal papillary tissue of seven controls. Transmission electron microscopy showed OPN and collagen expression inside and around RPs, respectively. Cluster analysis revealed that the papillary gene expression of CaOx SFs differed significantly from that of controls. Disease and function analysis of gene expression revealed activation of cellular hyperpolarization, reproductive development, and molecular transport in papillary tissue from RPs and non-RP regions of CaOx SFs. Compared with non-RP tissue, RP tissue showed upregulation (˃2-fold) of LCN2, IL11, PTGS1, GPX3, and MMD and downregulation (0.5-fold) of SLC12A1 and NALCN (P<0.01). In network and toxicity analyses, these genes associated with activated mitogen-activated protein kinase, the Akt/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway, and proinflammatory cytokines that cause renal injury and oxidative stress. Additionally, expression of proinflammatory cytokines, numbers of immune cells, and cellular apoptosis increased in RP tissue. This study establishes an association between genes related to renal dysfunction, proinflammation, oxidative stress, and ion transport and RP development in CaOx SFs.

Abstract
Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been employed to study the interaction of the saccharides glucuronic acid (GlcA) and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) with the (0001) and (011̄0) surfaces of the mineral hydroxyapatite (HAP). GlcA and GalNAc are the two constituent monosaccharides of the glycosaminoglycan chondroitin sulfate, which is commonly found in bone and cartilage and has been implicated in the modulation of the hydroxyapatite biomineralization process. MD simulations of the mineral surfaces and the saccharides in the presence of solvent water allowed the calculation of the adsorption energies of the saccharides on the HAP surfaces. The calculations show that GalNAc interacts with HAP principally through the sulfate and the carbonyl of acetyl amine groups, whereas the GlcA interacts primarily through the carboxylate functional groups. The mode and strength of the interaction depends on the orientation of the saccharide with respect to the surface and the level of disruption of the layer of water competing with the saccharide for adsorption sites on the HAP surface, suggesting that chondroitin 4-sulfate binds to the layer of solvent water rather than to HAP.

Abstract
PURPOSE We examined renal papillary Hounsfield density in stone formers with all common stone subtypes to further understand the pathophysiology of stone formation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using computerized tomography we measured the Hounsfield density of a 0.2 cm(2) renal papillary area in patients with a single renal calyceal stone. Results were compared with those in patients without a nephrolithiasis history who served as controls. Stone composition was determined by stone passage or extraction during endoscopic procedures using infrared spectroscopy and polarized microscopy. We measured the Hounsfield density of the stone bearing calyx and of a single calyx from the upper, middle and lower poles of each kidney. RESULTS Mean ± SD renal papillary Hounsfield density in controls was 36.2 ± 4.0 HU. In patients with stones Hounsfield density was significantly greater than in controls in stone bearing calyces, nonstone bearing calyces in the affected kidney and calyces in the contralateral nonstone bearing kidney for all stone composition subtypes (range 48.4 to 61.3 HU, each p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with kidney stones regardless of composition showed the unique radiographic characteristic of increased renal papillary Hounsfield density. This was true for all calyces and for each kidney in all stone formers with a single renal calyceal stone. This radiographic evidence supports the role of renal papillary deposits or plaques in the pathophysiology of stone formation.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of nephrolithiasis is not fully understood. The pioneering work of Alexander Randall in the 1940s sought to clarify our understanding of stone formation. This review traces the inception of the theory of Randall's plaques and the refinement of the hypothesis in the early days of kidney stone research. It then reviews the contemporary findings utilizing sophisticated investigative techniques that shed additional light on the pathophysiology and redefine the seminal findings of Dr. Randall that were made 70 years ago.

Abstract
In this contribution, the latest developments in solid state NMR are presented in the field of organic-inorganic (O/I) materials (or hybrid materials). Such materials involve mineral and organic (including polymeric and biological) components, and can exhibit complex O/I interfaces. Hybrids are currently a major topic of research in nanoscience, and solid state NMR is obviously a pertinent spectroscopic tool of investigation. Its versatility allows the detailed description of the structure and texture of such complex materials. The article is divided in two main parts: in the first one, recent NMR methodological/instrumental developments are presented in connection with hybrid materials. In the second part, an exhaustive overview of the major classes of O/I materials and their NMR characterization is presented.

Abstract
Mechanical resilience of bone tissue decreases with age. The ability to comprehensively probe and understand bone properties could help alleviate this problem. One important aspect of bone quality that has recently been made evident is the presence of dilatational bands formed by osteocalcin (OC) and osteopontin (OPN), which contribute to fracture toughness. However, experimental evidence of the structural role of these two proteins at the organic-mineral interface in bone is still needed. Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) is emerging as a useful technique in probing molecular level aspects of bone. Here, we present the first SSNMR study of bone tissue from genetically modified mice lacking OC and/or OPN. Probing the mineral phase, the organic matrix and their interface revealed that, despite the absence of OC and OPN, the organic matrix and mineral were well preserved, and the overall exposure of collagen to hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles was hardly affected. However, the proximity to the HA surface was slightly increased for a number of bone components including less abundant amino acids like lysine, suggesting that this is how the tissue compensates for the lack of OC and OPN. Taken together, the NMR data supports the recently proposed model, in which the contribution of OC-OPN to fracture toughness is related to their presence at the extrafibrillar organic-mineral interfaces, where they reinforce the network of mineralized fibrils and form dilatational bands. In an effort toward further understanding the structural role of individual amino acids of low abundance in bone, we then explored the possibility of specific (13)C enrichment of mouse bone, and report the first SSNMR spectra of 97% (13)C lysine-enriched tissue. Results show that such isotopic enrichment allows valuable molecular-level structural information to be extracted, and sheds light on post-translational modifications undergone by specific amino acids in vivo.

Abstract
There is continuing debate about whether abundant citrate plays an active role in biomineralization of bone. Using solid state NMR dipolar dephasing, we examined another normally mineralized hard tissue, mineralized articular cartilage, as well as biocalcifications arising in pathological conditions, mineralized intimal atherosclerotic vascular plaque, and apatitic uroliths (urinary stones). Residual nondephasing ¹³C NMR signal at 76 ppm in the spectra of mineralized cartilage and vascular plaque indicates that a quaternary carbon atom resonates at this frequency, consistent with the presence of citrate. The presence, and as yet unproven possible mechanistic involvement, of citrate in tissue mineralization extends the compositional, structural, biogenetic, and cytological similarities between these tissues and bone itself. Out of 10 apatitic kidney stones, five contained NMR-detectable citrate. Finding citrate in a high proportion of uroliths may be significant in view of the use of citrate in urolithiasis therapy and prophylaxis. Citrate may be essential for normal biomineralization (e.g., of cartilage), play a modulatory role in vascular calcification which could be a target for therapeutic intervention, and drive the formation of apatitic rather than other calcific uroliths, including more therapeutically intractable forms of calcium phosphate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze urinary uric acid stone matrix proteins (SMP) with mass spectrometry (MS) to evaluate the mechanisms of uric acid stone formation. SMP plays an important role in urinary stone formation. Several proteomic studies apply to calcium-containing stones have been reported; however no proteomic study for urinary uric acid stone has been reported. METHODS Pure kidney uric acid stones from 5 individuals were demineralized, and SMPs were isolated. The obtained proteins were analyzed with reverse-phase liquid chromatography-tandem MS. The acquired data were searched against a Swiss Prot human protein database using Matrix Science, Mascot. The identified proteins were submitted to the AmiGO Web site for gene ontology analysis. They were also sumitted to Metacore software and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes website (KEGG) for pathway analysis. MS-determined protein expressions were verified by immunoblot. RESULTS MS analysis identified 242 proteins from 5 proteomic results and the number of the identified protein of each result ranged from 52 to 156. Metacore software analysis suggested that inflammation may play an important role for kidney uric acid stone formation. Endogenous metabolic pathways were also analyzed and submitted to KEGG Web site, which revealed that these proteins may participate in fat metabolism. Five identified proteins were selected for immunoblot validation, and 3 proteins were confirmed. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that inflammatory process may play a role in kidney uric acid stone formation. Our endogenous metabolic pathway analysis data revealed that these proteins may participate in lipid metabolism. Whether this finding implies a relation between lipotoxicity and kidney uric acid stone former requires further investigation.

Abstract
Age-related bone fragility fractures present a significant problem for public health. Measures of bone quality are increasingly recognized to complement the conventional bone mineral density (BMD) based assessment of fracture risk. The ability to probe and understand bone quality at the molecular level is desirable in order to unravel how the structure of organic matrix and its association with mineral contribute to the overall mechanical properties. The (13)C{(31)P} REDOR MAS NMR (Rotational Echo Double Resonance Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) technique is uniquely suited for the study of the structure of the organic-mineral interface in bone. For the first time, we have applied it successfully to analyze the structure of intact (non-powdered) human cortical bone samples, from young healthy and old osteoporotic donors. Loading problems associated with the rapid rotation of intact bone were solved using a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) approach, and a method allowing osteoporotic samples to be balanced and spun reproducibly is described. REDOR NMR parameters were set to allow insight into the arrangement of the amino acids at the mineral interface to be accessed, and SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) was applied to enhance the signal to noise ratio and enable a better analysis of the data. From the REDOR data, it was found that carbon atoms belonging to citrate/glucosaminoglycans (GAGs) are closest to the mineral surface regardless of age or site. In contrast, the arrangement of the collagen backbone at the interface varied with site and age. The relative proximity of two of the main amino acids in bone matrix proteins, hydroxyproline and alanine, with respect to the mineral phase was analyzed in more detail, and discussed in view of glycation measurements which were carried out on the tissues. Overall, this work shows that the (13)C{(31)P} REDOR NMR approach could be used as a complementary technique to assess a novel aspect of bone quality, the organic-mineral interface structure.
