尿石症是一种世界范围的常见病和多发病,其主要的矿物成分为草酸钙(CaOxa)等[1-2]。但至今为止,尿石症形成过程中的许多化学及物理问题尚不清楚:尿液中的微晶是怎样生长和聚集?随后又是怎样黏附到尿路细胞膜上而形成结石?正常人与尿石患者尿液中微晶的数量和尺寸等存在什么样的     

草酸钙结石患者尿液中纳米微晶的成核、生长、聚集及其与结石形成的关系

肾结石的主要组分是草酸钙(CaOxa)等晶体。目前肾结石只能在形成以后才能被诊断,这给患者带来了极大的痛苦。肾结石的形成与尿液中的纳米微晶性质密切相关,如果能在结石形成之前或形成初期早期检测,则可以有效地预防肾结石发生发展。本文结合本课题组的工作,从微晶尺寸、微晶的聚集程度、形貌、化学组分、Zeta电位和稳定性等方面综述了肾结石患者尿液中纳米微晶的性质差异及其与肾结石形成的关系,并与健康对照者进行了比较;讨论了CaOxa结石患者在服用防石药物柠檬酸钾后尿微晶的性质变化。研究结果表明尿液中的纳米微晶的聚集是导致微晶快速增大和结石形成的关键因素,说明通过调控纳米微晶的物理、化学性质,有可能抑制肾结石的形成和复发。

生物成因文石与无机成因文石的红外特征峰的差异表现为文石的υ2(面外弯曲振动)谱带具有明显的频率蓝移特征[1-2],该现象归因于有机大分子对生物无机矿化过程的调控作用[3]。但对于同为生物成因的文石,在不同的软体动物双壳纲的贝壳不同壳层中,由于相应的文石质壳层的形成时间与形成条件存在差异,也将导致其红外光谱特征吸收峰的位置出现特异性[4-5]。     

内吗啡肽-1及其类似物的合成及与阿片受体结合作用

内吗啡肽－1和内吗啡肽－2（Endomorphin-1,EM-1;Endomorphin-2,EM-2)是阿片肽类化合物中近期发现的两种,被认为是μ型阿片受体（μ-opiate receptor,MOR)的高亲和性、高选择性的内源性配基^[1]。这一发现是阿片肽研究领域的又一次重大突破,尤其是EM－1与阿片受体相结合的作用^[2]、镇痛效应和降血压活性引起了广泛关注。Fiori等^[3]进而指出了EM－1的生物活性构象,当其处于膜模拟环境中时,认为主链采取伸展构象,2－Pro等^[3]进而指出了EM－1的生物活性构象,当其处于膜模拟环境中时,认为主链采取伸展构,2－Pro采取顺式构型;1－Tyr的侧链与3－Trp的侧链距离较近,而结合EM－1构象研究成果,合理替换了EM－1的2－／3－位氨基酸（Amino acid,Aa),用液相多肽合成法得到了EM－1及其6个类似物,并利用离体生物检定法研究了它们的阿片受体结合作用,以期有助于内吗啡肽进一步的基础及应用研究。     

玉米须提取液对尿液中草酸钙晶体形成的影响

本文采用X射线衍射(XRD)、红外光谱(FTIR)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)等方法分析了玉米须提取液对正常人尿液中草酸钙晶体形成的影响,通过电导率法研究了草酸钙晶体生长的动力学过程,以及从生物矿化的角度对玉米须提取液影响尿液中草酸钙晶体的可能机理进行了探讨。由于玉米须提取液中有机酸或多糖的羟基、羰基等通过配位作用与Ca²⁺结合形成可溶性配位化合物,减少了Ca²⁺与Oxa^2-的结合能力,从而抑制了CaOxa的成核和生长。同时,可能由于玉米须提取液中有效成分与二水草酸钙(COD)的吸附点键合,增强了COD晶体在溶液中的热力学稳定性,进而抑制了COD晶体向热力学更稳定态的一水草酸钙(COM)晶体转变。结果显示,这种抑制作用随玉米须浓度增大而增大,且COD晶体尺寸随着玉米须浓度的增大而减小。玉米须抑制COD晶体向COM晶体转变的作用为开发预防和治疗尿结石的药物提供了启示。     

Simulation of calcium oxalate stone <Emphasis Type="Italic">in vitro</Emphasis>

Crystallization of calcium oxalate is studied mainly in the diluted healthy urine using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and is compared with the crystallization in the diluted pathological urine. It suggests that the average sizes of calcium oxalate crystals are not in direct proportion to the concentrations of Ca²⁺ and Ox^2- ions. Only in the concentration range of 0.60-0.90 mmol/L can larger size of CaOx crystals appear. When the concentrations of Ca²⁺ and Ox^2- ions are 1.20, 0.80, 0.60, 0.30 and 0.15 mmol/L in the healthy urine, the average sizes of calcium oxalate crystallites are 9.5 X 6.5, 20.0 X 13.5 and 15.0 jj,m X 10.0 jj,m, respectively, for the former three samples after 6 d crystallization. No crystal appears even after 30 d crystallization for the samples of concentrations of 0.30 and 0.15 mmol/L due to their low supersaturations. The results theoretically explain why the probability of stone forming is clinically not in direct proportion to the concentrations of Ca²⁺ and Ox^2- ions. Laser scattering technology also confirms this point. The reason why healthy human has no risk of urinary stone but stone-formers have is that there are more urinary macromolecules in healthy human urines than that in stone-forming urines. These macromolecules may control the transformation in CaOx crystal structure from monohydrate cal-cium oxalate (COM) to dihydrate calcium oxalate (COD). COD has a weaker affinity for renal tubule cell membranes than COM. No remarkable effect of the crystallization time is observed on the crystal morphology of CaOx. All the crystals are obtuse hexagon. However, the sizes and the number of CaOx crystals can be affected by the crystallization time. In the early stage of crystalli-zation (1-6 d), the sizes of CaOx crystals increase and the number of crystal particles changes little as increasing the crystallization time due to growth control. In the middle and late stages (6-30 d), the number of crystals increases markedly while the growth rate changes little due to the nucleation control.     

Biogenic synthesis of calcium oxalate crystal by reaction of calcium ions with spinach lixivium

In this paper, we report a biogenic synthesis protocol for preparation of calcium oxalate (CaC₂O₄, CaOx) crystal at room temperature by a simple protein-mediated reaction of aqueous Ca²⁺ ions with the C₂O₄²⁻ ions spontaneously released from spinach. The aggregation of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) and calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) with a rod-like morphology was mainly formed in the spinach root lixivium, and the proportion of COM crystal in the aggregation increased with the concentration of Ca²⁺ ions increasing, however, spindle-shaped crystal was mainly obtained in the spinach leaf lixivium and the content of COM in the product was higher than that obtained in the root lixivium with the similar concentration of Ca²⁺ ions. COM phase disappeared and only COD crystal with morphology of tetragonal bipyramidal prisms presented in the product when the leaf lixivium was replaced by the leaf broth. The biomolecules such as proteins with molecular weight of 31 kDa liberated from the spinach root are negative-charged, which played important roles for the control of CaOx crystal growth in the root lixivium corresponding to the changes of protein secondary structures after reaction with Ca²⁺ ions. This research was potentially important for unraveling the biomineralization mechanism of CaOx crystal.     

Effect of Concentration of Structurally-Different Carboxylic Acids on Growth and Aggregation of Calcium Oxalate in Gel Systems

The effect of concentration of structurally-different carboxylic acids such as ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid （H4edta）, citric acid （H3cit）, tartaric acid （H2tart）, and acetic acid （HOAc） on growth and aggregation of calcium oxalate （CaOxa） in gel systems was comparatively investigated. H2tart and H3cit could change the morphology of cal- cium oxalate monohydrate （COM） and induce the formation of calcium oxalate dihydrate （COD）. H4edta could induce the formation of COD at a lower concentration of 0.33 mmol/L and have the strongest ability to inhibit aggregation of COM. HOAc inhibited COM aggregation only at a higher concentration than 500 mmol/L. With increasing the number of carboxylic groups in an acid or increasing the concentration of carboxylic acid, the capacity of this acid to induce COD formation and to inhibit growth and aggregation of COM crystals increased. That is, this capacity followed the order： H4edta〉H3cit〉H2tart〉 〉HOAc. The result in this work suggested that the presence of H3cit and H2tart in urine played a role in the natural defense against stone formation.     

二水草酸钙的热力学转化及海藻多糖的稳定作用

草酸钙结石的形成与尿液中草酸钙的存在形式密切相关，一水草酸钙(COM)促进尿石症形成，而二水草酸钙(COD)易随尿液排出体外。本文采用体外模拟方法，比较研究了COD晶体在水溶液、正常人尿液和结石患者尿液3个不同体系中的稳定性及海藻龙须菜多糖(SPS)对COD的稳定作用。在水溶液和患者尿液中，不但COD转化率高，而且得到的转化产物COM晶体聚集程度大；而在正常人尿液中，COD转化率低，转化产物聚集程度较小。COD在不同体系中转化的速度依次为：水溶液＞患者尿液＞正常人尿液。从海藻龙须菜中提取的硫酸多糖可以稳定COD的存在并减小COM的聚集，这有利于阻止草酸钙结石的形成，因此，海藻龙须菜多糖有可能用于防止草酸钙结石形成。

Crystallization kinetics of calcium carbonate at a stoichiometric ratio of components

The formal kinetics of calcium carbonate crystallization in aqueous solutions is studied at a stoichiometric ratio of Ca²⁺ and CO₃^2- ions. The kinetics of the process was monitored by convenient and reliable methods (complexometric analysis for calcium in an aqueous solution and energy dispersive and microscopic measurement of solid particle sizes). The effect the temperature and degree of supersaturation have on the periods of induction and mass crystallization and the equilibrium concentration of calcium ions in solution is estimated at continuously controlled pH and solution ionic strength. The kinetic parameters (n, k, τ_1/2, E_a) of calcium carbonate crystallization are calculated. It is shown that calcium carbonate with a calcite structure formed at a stoichiometric ratio of reagents, and changes in the temperature (25–45°C) and the solution’s degree of supersaturation (2–6) within the considered range had no effect on the characteristics of the solid phase.

Inhibition of the crystal growth and aggregation of calcium oxalate by elemental selenium nanoparticles

Chemical modulation of calcium oxalate (CaC₂O₄) crystals morphologies by elemental selenium nanoparticles (nanoSe⁰) was investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The coordination between nanoSe⁰ and C₂O₄²⁻ had great effect on the formation of CaC₂O₄ crystals. NanoSe⁰ inhibited the growth of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals, prevented the aggregation of COM crystals and induced the formation of the spherical calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) crystals containing selenium, which are the thermodynamically less stable phase and has a weaker affinity to the cell membranes than COM crystals. The inhibition of the crystal growth and aggregation of CaC₂O₄ crystals by nanoSe⁰ displayed concentration effects.
