Abstract
Whether or not extremely low levels of serum uric acid (SUA) in xanthinuria are associated with impairment of the endothelial function and exercise-induced acute kidney injury (EIAKI) is unclear. A 59-year-old woman without EIAKI or urolithiasis had undetectable levels of UA in serum and urine and elevated levels of hypoxanthine and xanthine in urine. A genetic analysis revealed homozygous mutations in the XDH gene [c.1585 C>T (p. Gln529*)]. Flow-mediated dilation was within the normal range. This is the first report of a case with extremely low levels of SUA, xanthinuria with novel mutations of xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and a normal endothelial function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify in vitro inhibitors of xanthine crystallization that have potential for inhibiting the formation of xanthine crystals in urine and preventing the development of the renal calculi in patients with xanthinuria. METHODS The formation of xanthine crystals in synthetic urine and the effects of 10 potential crystallization inhibitors were assessed using a kinetic turbidimetric system with a photometer. The maximum concentration tested for each compound was: 20 mg/L for 3-methylxanthine (3-MX); 40 mg/L for 7-methylxanthine (7-MX), 1-methylxanthine (1-MX), theobromine (TB), theophylline, paraxanthine, and caffeine; 45 mg/L for 1-methyluric acid; 80 mg/L for 1,3-dimethyluric acid; and 200 mg/L for hypoxanthine. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the morphology of the crystals formed when inhibitory effects were observed. RESULTS Only 7-MX, 3-MX, and 1-MX significantly inhibited xanthine crystallization at the tested concentrations. Mixtures of inhibitors had an additive effect rather than a synergistic effect on crystallization. CONCLUSION Two of the inhibitors identified here-7-MX and 3-MX-are major metabolites of TB. In particular, after TB consumption, 20% is excreted in the urine as TB, 21.5% as 3-MX, and 36% as 7-MX. Thus, consumption of theobromine could protect patients with xanthinuria from the development of renal xanthine calculi. Clinical trials are necessary to demonstrate these effects in vivo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOTs) are a subtype of serous ovarian carcinoma with atypical proliferation. Frozen-section diagnosis has been used as an intraoperative diagnosis tool in supporting the fertility-sparing surgery by diagnosing SBOTs with accuracy of 48% to 79%. Using DNA microarray technology, we designed multicategory classification models to support frozen-section diagnosis within 30 minutes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We systematically evaluated 6 machine learning algorithms and 3 feature selection methods using 5-fold cross-validation and a grid search on microarray data obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information. To validate the models and selected biomarkers, expression profiles were analyzed in tissue samples obtained from the Yonsei University College of Medicine. RESULTS The best accuracy of the optimal machine learning model was 97.3%. In addition, 5 features, including the expression of the putative biomarkers SNTN and AOX1, were selected to differentiate between normal, SBOT, and serous ovarian carcinoma groups. Different expression levels of SNTN and AOX1 were validated by real-time quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. A multinomial logistic regression model using SNTN and AOX1 alone was used to construct a simple-to-use equation that gave a diagnostic test accuracy of 91.9%. CONCLUSIONS We identified 2 biomarkers, SNTN and AOX1, that are likely involved in the pathogenesis and progression of ovarian tumors. An accurate diagnosis of ovarian tumor subclasses by application of the equation in conjunction with expression analysis of SNTN and AOX1 would offer a new accurate diagnosis tool in conjunction with frozen-section diagnosis within 30 minutes.

Abstract
Type 1 xanthinuria is a rare cause of urolithiasis due to xanthine dehydrogenase deficiency. Pediatric cases are exceptional. Through the genetic analysis of two cases, we discovered three mutations responsible for a loss of enzyme activity. The first one had a C.3536T>C missense mutation in the XDH gene and the other one was heterozygous for two mutations c.700+1G>T and c.31778_82delTCAT. We review the diagnostic methods, possible complications, and preventive measures for stone formation.

Abstract
Xanthine calculi are uncommonly encountered stones. When they occur, they typically do so in association with inborn metabolic disorders such as hereditary xanthinuria or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. They may also occur in association with states of profound hyperuricemia such as myeloproliferative disease after treatment with allopurinol. If the underlying disorder is not addressed, a high risk of stone recurrence exists. Therefore, to raise clinical awareness, we reviewed and report our experience in the treatment of patients with these stones, discussing the underlying pathophysiology and approach to treatment.

Abstract
We describe an enzymatic histochemical localization of two allopurinol-oxidizing enzymes, xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase in rat hepatic tissues. This method is based on the tetrazolium salt procedures by use of a tissue protectant, polyvinyl alcohol, with tetra-nitro BT as the final electron acceptor. The present study demonstrated that both oxidases are present in the cytoplasm of hepatic cells. However, the distribution of the enzymes was uneven, being seen mainly in the pericentral rather than the periportal area. When allopurinol was used as a substrate, the specific staining by xanthine oxidase was more prominent than that of aldehyde oxidase. The results suggested that xanthine oxidase is more effective in oxidizing allopurinol than aldehyde oxidase.

Abstract
Xanthinuria is a rare cause of nephrolithiasis and is usually due to an inherited abnormality in purine metabolism. A 5-year 6-month-old boy was assessed for a history of recurrent episodes of renal colic. The child first presented with symptoms due to xanthine calculi at 1 month of age, the youngest presentation we were able to identify. Xanthine calculi, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nephrolithiasis and ureterovesical junction obstruction in children. Xanthine calculi should also be considered when symptoms suggestive of urinary tract infection are present but the urine culture is negative, and when an orange-brown sediment is noted in the urine or similar coloured stains are found in the nappy.

Abstract
Although gout and hyperuricaemia are usually thought of as conditions of indulgent male middle age, in addition to the well-known uricosuria of the newborn, there is much of importance for the paediatric nephrologist in this field. Children and infants may present chronically with stones or acutely with renal failure from crystal nephropathy, as a result of inherited deficiencies of the purine salvage enzymes hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) or of the catabolic enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH). Genetic purine overproduction in phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase superactivity, or secondary to glycogen storage disease, can also present in infancy with renal complications. Children with APRT deficiency may be difficult to distinguish from those with HPRT deficiency because the insoluble product excreted, 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (2,8-DHA), is chemically very similar to uric acid. Moreover, because of the high uric acid clearance prior to puberty, hyperuricosuria rather than hyperuricaemia may provide the only clue to purine overproduction in childhood. Hyperuricaemic renal failure may be seen also in treated childhood leukaemia and lymphoma, and iatrogenic xanthine nephropathy is a potential complication of allopurinol therapy in these conditions. The latter is also an under-recognised complication of treatment in the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome or partial HPRT deficiency. The possibility of renal complications in these three situations is enhanced by infection, the use of uricosuric antibiotics and dehydration consequent upon fever, vomiting or diarrhoea. Disorders of urate transport in the renal tubule may also present in childhood. A kindred with X-linked hereditary nephrolithiasis, renal urate wasting and renal failure has been identified, but in general, the various rare types of net tubular wasting of urate into the urine are recessive and relatively benign, being found incidentally or presenting as colic from crystalluria. However, the opposite condition of a dominantly inherited increase in net urate reabsorption is far from benign, presenting as familial renal failure, with hyperuricaemia either preceding renal dysfunction or disproportionate to it. Paediatricians need to be aware of the lower plasma urate concentrations in children compared with adults when assessing plasma urate concentrations in childhood and infancy, so that early hyperuricosuria is not missed. This is of importance because most of the conditions mentioned above can be treated successfully using carefully controlled doses of allopurinol or means to render urate more soluble in the urine. Xanthine and 2,8-DHA are extremely insoluble at any pH. Whilst 2,8-DHA formation can also be controlled by allopurinol, alkali is contraindicated. A high fluid, low purine intake is the only possible therapy for XDH deficiency.

Abstract
Genetic heterogeneity has been suggested in xanthinuria from the hitherto unexplained ability of some patients with this hereditary disorder to convert allopurinol to its active metabolite oxipurinol--an activity generally attributed to xanthine oxidase. This study provides evidence that the enzyme aldehyde oxidase is also deficient in xanthinuric patients not converting allopurinol to oxipurinol, whereas a xanthinuric patient with normal formation of oxipurinol had normal aldehyde oxidase activity. It is concluded that the enzyme aldehyde oxidase is the principal enzyme responsible for the formation of oxipurinol in man.

Abstract
The mechanism of stone formation in the urinary tract is reviewed. Diet, urinary tract infection and metabolic disorders account for the different epidemiological patterns of stone formation. The diagnosis and management of renal tract calculi are discussed. Calcium stones are associated with hypercalciuria, urine acidification defects, the use of furosemide in premature babies, hypercalcaemia, hyperoxaluria, hyperuricosuria, an alkaline urine and hypocitraturia. Uric acid stones occur in acid urine, from increased purine synthesis with lympho- or myeloproliferative disorders or from several inborn errors of purine metabolism which can also cause xanthine or dihydroxyadenine stones. Cystinuria, inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder is best treated with a low sodium diet, a fluid intake exceeding 40 ml/kg per day maintaining urine pH between 7.5 and 8 and, if necessary, with oral penicillamine. Oxalate stones occur in relation to diet, bowel disease and primary inherited defects in oxalate metabolism. Urinary tract infection causing struvite and carbonate apatite formation is the commonest cause of stones in Europe.
