Congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract are common. In particular, the duplicated collecting system is one of the most common kidney abnormalities, but most are asymptomatic. The pathogenesis of these abnormalities is also known very little and some pathogenic genes are thought to be related.

Interleukin (IL)-10 was cloned from the common carp (Cyprinus carpioL.) using IL-10 primers from carp head kidney following stimulation with concanavalin A and lipopolysaccharide. The cDNA consisted of a 1096 bp se-quence containing a 55 bp 5¢ untranslated region and a 498 bp 3¢ untranslated region. An open reading frame of 543 bp encoded a putative 180 amino acid protein with a putative signal peptide of 22 amino acids.

Signal transduction pathways are often embedded in com-plex networks, which result from interactions between pathways and feedback circuitry. In order to understand such networks, qualitative information on which inter-actions take place and quantitative data on their strength become essential.

TRPP2, also called polycystin-2, the gene product ofPKD2, is a membrane protein defective in 10–15% of cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Mutations in PKD2 are also associated with extrarenal dis-orders, such as hepatic cystogenesis and cardiovascular abnormalities.

The EVI1 transcriptional repressor is critical to the normal development of a variety of tissues and participates in the progression of acute myeloid leu-kaemias. The repressor domain (Rp) was used to screen an adult human kidney yeast two-hybrid library and a novel binding partner designated ubiquitously expressed transcript (UXT) was isolated.

The interaction of xenon with copper⁄6-hydroxydopa (2,4,5-trihydroxy-phenethylamine) quinone (TPQ) amine oxidases from the plant pulses lentil (Lens esculenta) and pea (Pisum sativum) (seedlings), the perennial Mediter-ranean shrub Euphorbia characias(latex), and the mammals cattle (serum) and pigs (kidney), were investigated by NMR and optical spectroscopy of the aqueous solutions of the enzymes.

Pig kidney fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is a homotetrameric enzyme which does not contain tryptophan. In a previous report the guanidine hydrochlo-ride-induced unfolding of the enzyme has been described as a multistate process [Reyes, A. M., Ludwig, H. C., Yan˜ez, A. J., Rodriguez, P. H and Slebe, J. C.

Despite the aberrant expression of cholinesterases in tumours, the question of their possible contribution to tumorigenesis remains unsolved. The identifica-tion in kidney of a cholinergic system has paved the way to functional studies, but details on renal cholinesterases are still lacking. To fill the gap and to determine whether cholinesterases are abnormally expressed in renal tumours, paired pieces of normal kidney and renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) were compared for cholinesterase activity and mRNA levels....

The reactions of the flavin semiquinone generated by laser-induced stepwise two-photon excitation of reduced flavin have been studied previously (El Hanine-Lmoumene C & Lindqvist L. (1997) Photochem Photobiol66, 591–595) using time-resolved spectroscopy. In the present work, we have used the same experimental procedure to study the flavin semiquinone in rat kidney long-chain hydroxy acid oxidase and in the flavodehydrogenase domain of flavocytochrome b2 FDH

Some urinary tract disorders rarely cause symptoms until the problem is very advanced; these include kidney failure, tumors and stones that do not block urine flow, and some low-grade infections. Sometimes, symptoms occur but are very general and difficult for the doctor to connect to the kidney. For example, a general feeling of illness (malaise), loss of appetite, nausea, or generalized itching may be the only symptoms of chronic kidney failure. In older people, mental confusion may be the first recognized symptom of infection or kidney failure. ...

Renal Cell Carcinoma: Treatment Localized Tumors The standard management for stage I or II tumors and selected cases of stage III disease is radical nephrectomy. This procedure involves en bloc removal of Gerota's fascia and its contents, including the kidney, the ipsilateral adrenal gland, and adjacent hilar lymph nodes. The role of a regional lymphadenectomy is controversial. Extension into the renal vein or inferior vena cava (stage III disease) does not preclude resection even if cardiopulmonary bypass is required.

Microdeletion Syndromes The term contiguous gene syndrome refers to genetic disorders that mimic a combination of single-gene disorders. They result from the deletion of a small number of tightly clustered genes. Because some are too small to be detected cytogenetically, they are termed microdeletions. The application of molecular techniques has led to the identification of at least 18 of these microdeletion syndromes (Table 63-4). Some of the more common ones include the Wilms' tumor–aniridia complex (WAGR), Miller Dieker syndrome (MDS), and velocardiofacial (VCF) syndrome.
