Abstract
Uremic neuropathy in children encompasses a wide range of central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS), autonomic nervous system (ANS), and psychological abnormalities, which is associated with progressive renal dysfunction. Clinically, the diagnosis of uremic neuropathy in children is often made retrospectively when symptoms improve after dialysis or transplantation, due to there is no defining signs or laboratory and imaging findings. These neurological disorders consequently result in increased morbidity and mortality among children population, making uremia an urgent public health problem worldwide. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology, potential mechanisms, possible treatments, and the shortcomings of current research of uremic neuropathy in children. Mechanistically, the uremic neuropathy may be caused by retention of uremic solutes, increased oxidative stress, neurotransmitter imbalance, and disturbance of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Neuroimmune, including the change of inflammatory factors and immune cells, may also play a crucial role in the progression of uremic neuropathy. Different from the invasive treatment of dialysis and kidney transplantation, intervention in neuroimmune and targeted anti-inflammatory therapy may provide a new insight for the treatment of uremia.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an important role in the maintenance of serum calcium levels. It activates renal 1α-hydroxylase and increases the synthesis of the active form of vitamin D (1,25[OH]2D3). PTH promotes calcium release from the bone and enhances tubular calcium resorption through direct action on these sites. Hallmarks of secondary hyperparathyroidism associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) include increase in serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), reduction in renal 1,25[OH]2D3 production with a decline in its serum levels, decrease in intestinal calcium absorption, and, at later stages, hyperphosphatemia and high levels of PTH. In this paper, we aim to critically discuss severe CKD-related hyperparathyroidism, in which PTH, through calcium-dependent and -independent mechanisms, leads to harmful effects and manifestations of the uremic syndrome, such as bone loss, skin and soft tissue calcification, cardiomyopathy, immunodeficiency, impairment of erythropoiesis, increase of energy expenditure, and muscle weakness.

Abstract
Olfactory sensory neurons respond to odorants increasing Ca(2+) concentrations in their chemosensory cilia. Calcium enters the cilia through cAMP-gated channels, activating Ca(2+)-dependent chloride or potassium channels. Calcium also has a fundamental role in odour adaptation, regulating cAMP turnover rate and the affinity of the cyclic nucleotide-gated channels for cAMP. It has been shown that a Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) extrudes Ca(2+) from the cilia. Here we confirm previous evidence that olfactory cilia also express plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA), and show the first evidence supporting a role in Ca(2+) removal. Both transporters were detected by immunoblot of purified olfactory cilia membranes. The pump was also revealed by immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry. Inside-out cilia membrane vesicles transported Ca(2+) in an ATP-dependent fashion. PMCA activity was potentiated by luminal Ca(2+) (K(0.5) = 670 nm) and enhanced by calmodulin (CaM; K(0.5) = 31 nm). Both carboxyeosin (CE) and calmidazolium reduced Ca(2+) transport, as expected for a CaM-modulated PMCA. The relaxation time constant (tau) of the Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) current (272 +/- 78 ms), indicative of luminal Ca(2+) decline, was increased by CE (2181 +/- 437 ms), by omitting ATP (666 +/- 49 ms) and by raising pH (725 +/- 65 ms), suggesting a role of the pump on Ca(2+) clearance. Replacement of external Na(+) by Li(+) had a similar effect (tau = 442 +/- 8 ms), confirming the NCX involvement in Ca(2+) extrusion. The evidence suggests that both Ca(2+) transporters contribute to re-establish resting Ca(2+) levels in the cilia following olfactory responses.

Abstract
The hypercalciuria and hypermagnesuria that accompany aldosteronism contribute to a fall in plasma ionized extracellular Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]o and [Mg2+]o). Despite these losses and the decline in extracellular levels of these cations, total intracellular and cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) is increased and oxidative stress is induced. This involves diverse tissues, including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and plasma. The accompanying elevation in plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH) and reduction in bone mineral density caused by aldosterone (Aldo)-1% NaCl treatment (AldoST) led us to hypothesize that Ca2+ loading and altered redox state are due to secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Therefore, we studied the effects of total parathyroidectomy (PTx). In rats receiving AldoST, without or with a Ca2+-supplemented diet and/or PTx, we monitored urinary Ca2+ and Mg2+ excretion; plasma [Ca2+]o, [Mg2+]o, and PTH; PBMC [Ca2+]i and H2O2 production; plasma α1-antiproteinase activity; total Ca2+ and Mg2+ in bone, myocardium, and rectus femoris; and gp91phox labeling in the heart. We found that 1) the hypercalciuria and hypermagnesuria and decline ( P < 0.05) in plasma [Ca2+]o and [Mg2+]o that occur with AldoST were not altered by the Ca2+-supplemented diet alone or with PTx; 2) the rise ( P < 0.05) in plasma PTH with AldoST, with or without the Ca2+-supplemented diet, was prevented by PTx; 3) increased ( P < 0.05) PBMC [Ca2+]i and H2O2 production, increased total Ca2+ in heart and skeletal muscle, and fall in bone Ca2+ and Mg2+ and plasma α1-antiproteinase activity with AldoST were abrogated ( P < 0.05) by PTx; and 4) gp91phox activation in right and left ventricles at 4 wk of AldoST was attenuated by PTx. AldoST is accompanied by SHPT, with parathyroid gland-derived calcitropic hormones being responsible for Ca2+ overload in diverse tissues and induction of oxidative stress. SHPT plays a permissive role in the proinflammatory vascular phenotype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal failure has been viewed as a state of cellular calcium toxicity due to the retention of small fast-acting molecules. We have tested this hypothesis and identified potentially neuroexcitatory compounds among a number of putative uremic neurotoxins by examining the acute in vitro effects of these compounds on cultured central neurons. The in vitro neuroexcitatory and synergistic effects of guanidinosuccinate and spermine were also examined in vivo. METHODS The acute effects of 17 candidate uremic neurotoxins on murine spinal cord neurons in primary dissociated cell culture were investigated using the tight-seal whole-cell recording technique. The compounds studied comprised low-molecular-weight solutes like urea, indoles, guanidino compounds, polyamines, purines and phenoles, homocysteine, orotate, and myoinositol. Currents evoked by these compounds were further examined using various ligand- and voltage-gated ion channel blockers. The acute in vivo effects of guanidinosuccinate and spermine were behaviorally assessed following their injection in mice. RESULTS It was shown that 3-indoxyl sulfate, guanidinosuccinate, spermine, and phenol evoked significant whole-cell currents. Inward whole-cell current evoked by 3-indoxyl sulfate was not blocked by any of the applied ligand- or voltage-gated ion channel blockers, and the compound appeared to influence miscellaneous membrane ionic conductances, probably involving voltage-gated Ca2+ channels as well. Phenol-evoked outward whole-cell currents were at least partly due to the activation of voltage-gated K+ channels, but may also involve a variety of other ionic conductances. On the other hand, inward whole-cell currents evoked by guanidinosuccinate and spermine were shown to be due to specific interaction with voltage- and ligand-gated Ca2+ channels. Guanidinosuccinate-evoked current was caused by activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-associated ion channels. Low (micromol/L) concentrations of spermine potentiated guanidinosuccinate-evoked current through the action of spermine on the polyamine binding site of the NMDA receptor complex, whereas current evoked by high (mmol/L) concentrations of spermine alone involved direct activation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Finally, intracerebroventricular administration of 0.25 micromol/L spermine potentiated clonic convulsions induced by guanidinosuccinate. These neuroexcitatory and synergistic effects of guanidinosuccinate and spermine could take place at pathophysiologic concentrations. CONCLUSION The observed in vitro and in vivo effects of uremic retention solutes suggest that the identified compounds could play a significant role in uremic pathophysiology. Some of the compounds tested displayed in vitro and in vivo neuroexcitatory effects that were mediated by ligand- and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The findings suggest a mechanism for the involvement of calcium toxicity in the central nervous system complications in renal failure with particular reference to guanidinosuccinate and spermine.

Abstract
The mechanisms of central nervous system dysfunction in uremia are multifactorial and only partially characterized. Studies using sealed presynaptic nerve terminals (synaptosomes) for in vitro ion transport and metabolism of neurotransmitter in chronic renal failure (CRF) neuronal cell culture and in vivo brain structure microdialysis generated significant new information. An increase in total calcium content of the cerebral cortex accompanied by increased levels of cytosolic calcium ([Ca(2+)]i) in synaptosomes are common findings in rats with CRF. Mechanisms leading to the increase in [Ca(2+)]i include increased calcium uptake mediated by parathyroid hormone and decreased activity of Na(+),K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and Ca(2+)-ATPase of synaptosomes in CRF rats. Moreover, these synaptosomes respond inappropriately to depolarization, which can impair neurotransmitter metabolism. Brain gamma-aminobutyric acid content, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine release uptake and degradation are affected by uremia. These may lead to certain somatic, behavioral, and motor dysfunctions in uremia. Many derangements of the central nervous system in uremia appear to be mediated by secondary hyperparathyroidism of CRF because parathyroidectomy of animals with CRF prevented the increase in basal levels of [Ca(2+)]i and derangements in neurotransmitter metabolism. The role of other neurotoxins, such as guanidinosuccinic acid, are also reviewed.

Abstract
Patients with advanced renal failure have derangements in the function of their nervous system. The available clinical and experimental data indicate that the state of the secondary hyperparathyroidism of renal failure plays a major role in the genesis of the nervous system dysfunction. The excess parathyroid hormone (PTH) mediates its deleterious effect by causing an elevation in cytosolic calcium of brain cells. This report reviews the evidence leading to the conclusion that PTH is a major uremic toxin.

Abstract
The parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene is expressed and translated in the rat hypothalamus, and the possibility that PTH may modulate neural activity was therefore examined in anesthetized rats. Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injections of 1.0 or 10.0 micrograms rat, human, or bovine PTH(1-34) was followed 60 min later by increased concentrations of DOPAC (dihydroxyacetic acid) and the DOPAC:dopamine (DA) ratio in the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH), but not in other (brainstem, cerebral cortex, cerebellum) regions of the brain. Tissue concentrations of norepinephrine and serotonin were unchanged by ICV PTH administration, although MBH concentrations of 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) were increased following PTH administration. An increase in MBH DA turnover (as indicated by an increased DOPAC:DA ratio) was also induced by the ICV injection of 10 micrograms PTH-related protein [PTHrP(1-34)]. Pretreatment with the receptor antagonists PTH(7-34) or PTHrP(7-34) completely blocked the subsequent DOPAC response to ICV PTH or PTHrP, respectively. The DOPAC concentrations in hypothalamic extracellular fluid (ECF), sampled by microdialysis, were also increased within 20 min of PTH(1-34) perfusion, in the absence of changes in the ECF concentrations of 5-HIAA. These results demonstrate that PTH and PTH-like peptides specifically increase DA turnover in the rat MBH and suggest novel roles for these hormones in neural regulation.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) modulates dopamine (DA) metabolism in the rat medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) in vivo. Direct effects of PTH on MBH DA metabolism were therefore investigated in vitro. Incubation of rat MBHs for 60 min with 10(-7)-10(-5) M human PTH1-34 consistently reduced the tissue DA content and increased the DOPAC (dihydroxyphenylacetic acid) to DA ratio. This ratio was further increased in tissues incubated in 10(-5) M PTH1-34, as a result of an increase in DOPAC content. The tissue content of DOPAC and DA was unaffected by 10(-9) M PTH. The serotonin (5HT) content of the MBH was reduced by 10(-5) M PTH1-34, but concentrations of 5HT, 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid, and norepinephrine were otherwise unaffected by 10(-9)-10(-5) M PTH1-34. Concentrations of DA in the incubation media were reduced after exposure to 10(-6) or 10(-5) M PTH1-34. The uptake of 3H-labelled DA by incubated tissues was also reduced by 10(-6) M PTH1-34, as was the metabolism of 3H-labelled DA into tissue and media DOPAC. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) activities A and B were significantly increased after the incubation of the MBH with 10(-6) or 10(-5) M PTH1-34. These results further demonstrate neuromodulatory actions of PTH on dopaminergic neurons within the rat MBH in vitro, and suggest neural and/or neuroendocrine roles of PTH of central or peripheral origin.

Abstract
Uremia is often associated with alterations in calcium metabolism and vascular smooth muscle function in hypertension and atherosclerosis. The ways in which these conditions inter-relate are not clearly understood. In order to study the possibility that circulating factors might influence smooth muscle function, experiments were performed on rat aortic strips. The serum from both uremic patients and rats enhanced the norepinephrine-induced contraction (NEIC) and net 45-calcium uptake in rat aortic strips. In a similar manner, the serum of parathyroidectomized uremic rats also increased the NEIC, whereas verapamil reduced the aortic response to levels below those of the control, in the presence of uremic serum. These findings suggest that in both chronic (patients) and early (rats) stages of uremia, there is a circulating factor, different from parathyroid hormone, that affects calcium uptake and vascular smooth muscle contraction.

Abstract
Effects of acute renal failure (ARF) on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) were studied in rats. Cervical and cortical SEPs were measured both before and after bilateral ureteral ligation. A significant augmentation of amplitudes and an increase in latencies of the cortical SEP were observed in ARF. The peripheral nerve conduction velocities were unchanged. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in uremic rats were significantly elevated after the bilateral ureteral ligation. In previously parathyroidectomized rats, the bilateral ureteral ligation had no effects on amplitudes of SEP or serum PTH levels.

Abstract
The role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3) in regulating cytosolic Ca++ by stimulating Ca++ release from intracellular organelles is well established. However, other modes of intracellular Ca++ regulation by 1,4,5-IP3 have not been determined. To determine if 1,4,5-IP3 may regulate cell cytosolic Ca++ by acting on plasma membrane bound Na(+)-Ca++ exchanger, we investigated Ca++ transport in synaptosomes using 45Ca++ as tracer. In the presence of either an inhibitor of voltage gated Na+ channels (tetrodotoxin) or the K+ ionophore (valinomycin), Ca++ uptake was significantly inhibited (P less than 0.05) by 1,4,5-IP3 in a concentration dependent manner, with half-maximal inhibition occurring at submicromolar concentrations between 10(-9) M and 10(-10) M 1,4,5-IP3. Similarly, Ca++ efflux by the exchanger was significantly inhibited 40% by 1,4,5-IP3. The inhibitory effect of 1,4,5-IP3 on the Na(+)-Ca++ exchanger was observed in the presence of Ca++ channel blockers, and in vesicles pretreated with caffeine to deplete the 1,4,5-IP3-sensitive stores of Ca++. These results suggest that during signal transduction in brain, 1,4,5-IP3 may increase cytosolic [Ca++] in part by inhibiting the Na(+)-Ca++ exchanger and thus, Ca++ efflux from cell.

Abstract
Abnormalities in the function of the central nervous system exist in chronic renal failure (CRF) and some of these derangements may be related to excess parathyroid hormone (PTH) which causes a rise in brain calcium. The latter may affect metabolism of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine (NE) in brain synaptosomes. We measured NE content, uptake and release in brain synaptosomes of CRF rats and studied whether excess PTH affects these parameters. Synaptosomes from rats with 21 days of CRF compared to those from normal animals have higher calcium content (11.4 +/- 0.92 vs. 7.1 +/- 0.50 nmol/mg protein, P less than 0.01) and lower Na-K ATPase activity (6.5 +/- 0.81 vs. 11.4 +/- 0.76 mumol Pi/mg protein/hr, P less than 0.01). NE content (11.0 +/- 0.60 vs. 13.6 +/- 0.55 pmol/mg protein/hr, P less than 0.01), uptake (46 +/- 4.5 vs. 110 +/- 5.9 pmol/mg protein times 50 min, P less than 0.01) and release (2.0 +/- 0.2 vs. 5.1 +/- 0.47 pmol/mg protein times 10 min, P less than 0.01). Parathyroidectomy (PTX) in CRF rats kept normocalcemic reversed these abnormalities in brain synaptosomes; indeed calcium content, Na-K ATPase activity and NE content, uptake and release in synaptosomes from PTX-CRF rats were not different from those seen in normal rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
To understand the increased morbidity and mortality associated with acute hyponatremia in young women, we characterized the Na+-K+-adenosinetriphosphtase (ATPase) pump in rat brain synaptosomes to determine if this adaptive mechanism was different between the sexes. Veratridine-stimulated sodium (Na+) uptake was significantly greater (P less than 0.001) in females than in males (8.08 +/- 0.3 vs. 5.56 +/- 0.4 nmol/mg protein), suggesting either an increased rate of Na+ uptake and/or decreased extrusion of Na+ by the Na+-K+-ATPase pump in females. Uptake rate was determined by measuring Na+ transport at 5 s, and it was found to be twice as large in females as in males (1.01 +/- 0.2 vs. 0.46 +/- 0.1 nmol/mg protein). However, in the presence of 2.5 mM ouabain, uptake in both groups were similar, suggesting that the difference was probably due to decreased function of the Na+-K+-ATPase pump in females. Transport evaluation of the Na+-K+-ATPase pump showed ouabain-sensitive K+ uptake in males to be significantly greater (P less than 0.001) than in females (10.53 vs. 4.97 nmol/mg protein), and ouabain-sensitive Na+ uptake in inverted synaptosomes was 70% greater in males (4.00 vs. 2.37 nmol/mg protein). [3H]ouabain binding studies showed maximum binding capacity in males and females to be similar (103 +/- 12 vs. 110 +/- 15 pmol/mg protein), whereas the dissociation constant was significantly (P less than 0.005) greater in males (109 +/- 8 vs. 82 +/- 6 nM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The role of dibutyryl 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dibutyryl cAMP) as putative second messenger for parathyroid hormone (PTH) in regulating canine proximal tubular basolateral membrane Na+-Ca2+ exchange and passive calcium permeability was assessed, as was the nature of this passive calcium permeability. Dibutyryl cAMP (50 mg) infused in vivo over 30 min increased fractional phosphate excretion from 4.9 +/- 1.8% to 20.5 +/- 4.6%, P less than 0.05, n = 6, but had no effect on either passive Ca2+ efflux or sodium-stimulated Ca2+ efflux from Ca2+-preloaded basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV). Both of these mechanisms have been previously shown to be stimulated by PTH. Further studies were performed to investigate the mechanism of the passive calcium flux. Calcium uptake by BLMV was blocked by lanthanum (La3+) but not by the calcium-channel blocker verapamil. La3+ blocked efflux of Ca2+ from preloaded vesicles when it was placed in the external solution. This La3+-blockable efflux was larger in potassium equivalent BLMV prepared from normal dogs than in BLMV prepared from thyroparathyroidectomized dogs. Benzamil produced 50% inhibition of sodium-stimulated Ca2+ uptake at 250 microM whereas neither amiloride nor diltiazem achieved 50% inhibition at the maximal doses studied. Benzamil, 1 mM, had no effect on passive calcium efflux and neither did the substitution of sucrose for potassium, which has been shown to affect Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange by the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. This suggests that the calcium flux under potassium equivalent conditions was not mediated by Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange by the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. These results demonstrate that the basolateral membrane of proximal tubular cells possesses both a Na+-Ca2+ exchanger inhibitable by benzamil and a passive calcium permeability not inhibited by benzamil nor by verapamil but by La3+. Neither of these two mechanisms of calcium flux was affected by dibutyryl cAMP whereas both have been shown to be stimulated by PTH.

Abstract
In vivo PTH administration to rats resulted in increased brain synaptosomal Ca++ transport, while parathyroidectomy (PTX) resulted in decreased transport. To determine the mechanism of action of PTH on Ca++ transport in rat brain synaptosomes, we performed transport studies by the Na-Ca exchanger and also measured cAMP generation in synaptosomes from PTX rats. Ca++ transport was studied after in vivo additions of either bovine (b)PTH, cAMP, or forskolin, and adenylate cyclase activity was assessed after additions of either bPTH, forskolin, sodium fluoride (NaF), or isoproterenol. In the presence of 1-34 bPTH [10(-7) M], Ca++ uptake was significantly increased by 55% (P less than 0.001) above control, while 3-34 bPTH [10(-7) M] had no effect on uptake. Both 8br,cAMP [10(-6) M] and dibut,cAMP [10(-6) M] also significantly increased (P less than 0.001) Ca++ uptake above control by 63 and 44%, respectively. Similarly, forskolin [10(-5) M], the adenylate cyclase activator, increased Ca++ uptake by 41%. We next evaluated Ca++ efflux, and found that 1-34 bPTH [10(-7) M], 1-84 bPTH [10(-7) M], and forskolin [10(-5) M] also increased Ca++ efflux by 50, 73, and 120%, respectively, above control. Since Ca++ transport was increased by either PTH, cAMP, or forskolin, we decided to determine if PTH action on Ca++ transport in synaptosomes was dependent on cAMP. This was investigated by measuring cAMP production during the conversion of 32P-ATP to 32P-cAMP in the presence of an ATP regenerating system (30 micrograms creatine phosphokinase, 10 mM creatine phosphate), and the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitor (1 mM IBMX). Whereas forskolin [10(-4) M] and NaF [100 mM] significantly increased (P less than 0.001) adenylate cyclase activity in synaptosomes by eight- and fourfold, respectively, neither 1-34 bPTH nor 1-84 bPTH increased synaptosomal cyclase activity. However, in canine renal cortical plasma membranes (CRCPM), we observed significant increases in cAMP production with either forskolin, NaF, or PTH. Finally, to determine if synaptosomes contain an intact adenylate cyclase system, we measured cAMP production in the presence of the beta adrenergic agent, isoproterenol. Isoproterenol significantly increased adenylate cyclase activity in both synaptosomes (90%) and CRCPM (50%). These data suggest that although there is an intact adenylate cyclase system in rat brain synaptosomes, PTH-stimulated calcium transport in synaptosomes appears to be independent of this system.
