Urinary stones composition and type directly affect surgical planning. However, research on preoperative stone composition analysis is limited. This paper aimed to predict urinary stones types preoperatively using clinical data. Data from 1020 patients, including stone composition, clinical biochemical indicators, and demographic information, were collected. A stone composition graph network was constructed using cosine similarity, with stone composition as nodes and biochemical/demographic data as node features. The Louvain community detection algorithm was utilized to divide the network into distinct communities for the classification of stone types, with the effectiveness of the partitioning evaluated by the Modularity score. Stone types were classified, and their distribution across genders and age groups was described. Clinical feature averages were calculated for each community, and patients were assigned to the most similar community. Six machine learning algorithms (RandomForest, GradientBoosting, SVM, KNN, Logistic Regression, XGBoost) were trained to predict stone types. Model performance was evaluated, and the importance of clinical features for prediction was ranked. Six stone types were identified (Modularity = 0.828), namely common COM (Class I), COM with minor AU (Class II), COM with high UA (Class III), COM containing MAP (Class IV), high CAP-MAP (Class V), and high COM-CAP containing DCPD (Class VI). Among males, Class III and Class I were most prevalent; among females, Class V and Class III were most prevalent (χ<sup>2</sup> = 95.066, P < 0.001). Patients with Class IV stones were significantly older than those with Class I stones (P = 0.038). GradientBoosting showed the best prediction performance, with an Accuracy of 0.837, Precision of 0.840, Recall of 0.8366, F1 Score of 0.8368, and ROC-AUC area of 0.941.

OxDc-A0, a novel gastro-tolerant recombinant oxalate decarboxylase, can degrade oxalate in the stomach, thereby limiting the oxalate pool in the gastrointestinal tract and reducing oxalate absorption and urinary excretion. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and safety profile of OxDc-A0 to assess its drug likeliness. The pharmacodynamics were evaluated in vitro and in hyperoxaluria beagle dog model induced by a high-oxalate diet. OxDc-A0 exhibited excellent gastric tolerance and significant efficacy in reducing urinary oxalate excretion in the dog model with hyperoxaluria. The safety of OxDc-A0 was evaluated in Sprague-Dawley rats, beagle dogs, and golden hamsters according to the guidelines for preclinical safety studies. No adverse effects were observed on the central nervous, cardiovascular, or respiratory system in rats or dogs treated orally with OxDc-A0 up to 37,500 U/kg. Pharmacokinetic studies showed that OxDc-A0 is non-systemically absorbed and is mainly distributed in the gastrointestinal tract. Toxicological studies showed that OxDc-A0 has excellent tolerance, with a NOAEL of 37,500 U/kg/day in both rats and dogs. The maximum tolerated dose was ≥ 105,000 U/kg in rats and ≥ 87,000 U/kg in dogs.

This study aimed to present the multicentric results of single guide wire flexible ureterorenoscopy (URS) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) procedures without fluoroscopy and an ureteral access sheath (UAS) in treating kidney stones in pediatric patients. Moreover, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this procedure to ascertain the feasibility of this radiation-free therapeutic intervention for treating kidney stones in children. A retrospective analysis was done on the data of 105 pediatric patients who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) treatment in two tertiary healthcare centers without fluoroscopy and UAS between May 2014 and May 2024. Of these 105 patients evaluated, 74 (70.5%) were male and 31 (29.5%) were female. The patients had a mean age of 71 ± 4 (ranging from 6 to 204) months. The mean size of stones was 9.3 ± 5 (ranging from 6 to 20) mm, and the average operation time was 51 (ranging from 31 to 98) minutes. Additionally, in 24 (22.8%) patients, the flexible URS could not proceed through the ureteral orifice. Thus, a double J stent was inserted, and the surgical procedure was repeated one month later without any complications. However, 2 (1.9%) of the patients experienced postoperative fever, and 6 (5.7%) patients had minor complications related to haematuria. Stone-free status was observed in 87 out of 105 patients (82.9%). Despite using a single guide wire without fluoroscopy and UAS in treating kidney stones in pediatric patients, the RIRS procedure is technically effective and safe.

We further substantiated these findings by knocking down NLRP3 both in vitro and in NLRP3-knockout mice. Consistently, we observed more pronounced calcium oxalate crystal-induced renal fibrosis and enhanced crystal adhesion upon overexpression of NLRP3 in vitro and in vivo.

Based on our previous studies and bibliometric analysis, we discerned four environmental determinants and elaborated their impacts on human internal exposure related to kidney stone formation. The importance of climatic factor lies in that the relatively high temperature and low humidity environment may contribute greater prevalence of kidney stone, since it promotes elevating the concentration of relatively insoluble stone-forming salts. Geological factors including water quality, hydrogeology, and soil environment is involved in kidney stone formation via the food chain. Additionally, air pollution and heavy metal pollutants also act as potential risk factors by directly or indirectly affecting the normal renal function and urinary metabolism.
