The renal calyces are chambers of the kidney through which urine passes. The minor calyces surround the apex of the renal pyramids. Urine formed in the kidney passes through a renal papilla at the apex into the minor calyx; two or three minor calyces converge to form a major calyx, through which urine passes before continuing through the renal pelvis into the ureter.

Function

Peristalsis of the smooth muscle originating in pace-maker cells originating in the walls of the calyces propels urine through the renal pelvis and ureters to the bladder.

Clinical significance

Example of a "staghorn" kidney stone projecting into the renal calyces

A "Staghorn calculi" is a kidney stone that may extend into the renal calyces.

A renal diverticulum is diverticulum of renal calyces.^[1]^[2]

Modified Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity score for retrograde intrarenal surgery.

Jung JW1, Lee BK, Park YH, Lee S, Jeong SJ, Lee SE, Jeong CW.Author information 1Department of Urology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Korea.AbstractThe Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity (S-ReSC) score is a well-validated tool for the prediction of stone-free rate (SFR) after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. We modified the S-ReSC score system for application to retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and evaluated this score. A total of 88 patients who underwent RIRS from 2011 to 2013 were included. The modified S-ReSC score was assigned according to the number of sites involved in the renal pelvis (#1), superior and inferior major calyceal groups (#2-3), and anterior and posterior minor calyceal groups of the superior (#4-5), middle (#6-7), and inferior calyx (#8-9). If the stone was in the inferior sites (#3, #8-9), one additional point per site was added to the original score. The SFR was examined according to the modified S-ReSC score. To evaluate the predictive accuracy, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used and compared with the Resorlu-Unsal Stone (RUS) score. The SFR was 85.2 % and was significantly decreased in the order of low (1-2: 94.2 %), medium (2-4: 84.0 %), and high (>4: 45.5 %) modified ReSC score groups (p < 0.001). AUCs of the modified S-ReSC score (0.806) and score group (0.766) were higher than the AUC of the RUS score (0.692; p = 0.012 and p = 0.040, respectively). The modified S-ReSC score predicts the SFR after RIRS well. Furthermore, its predictive accuracy is higher than that of the RUS score.

Computational identification of microRNAs in the strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) genome sequence and validation of their precise sequences by miR-RACE.

Han J1, Li A1, Liu H2, Wen X1, Zhao M2, Korir NB1, Korir NK3, Wang C1, Fang J4.Author information 1College of Horticulture, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China.2Department of Horticulture, Nanjing Jinling Institute of Technology, Nanjing 210038, China.3Department of Agricultural Technology, Kenyatta University, P.O. Box, 43844-00100 Nairobi, Kenya.4College of Horticulture, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China. Electronic address: fanggg@njau.edu.cn.AbstractIn plants, microRNAs (miRNAs) play significant roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation and have been found to control many genes involved in different biological and metabolic processes. Extensive studies were carried out to discover miRNAs and analyze their functions in model plant species, such as in Arabidopsis and rice that have been reported. In this research, we used bioinformatics to predict microRNAs in an important strawberry rootstock cultivar to discover and validate precise sequences of microRNAs in strawberry. By adopting a range of filtering criteria, we obtained 59 potential miRNAs belonging to 40 miRNA families from the Fragaria vesca genome. Using two specific 5' and 3' miRNA RACE PCR reactions and a sequence-directed cloning method, we accurately determined 34 precise sequences of candidate miRNAs, while six other sequences exhibited some minor divergence in their termini nucleotides, and 19 miRNAs that could not be cloned owing to expression abundance may be too low or these mirRNAs predicted could not be existing in strawberry. Potential target genes were further predicted for the miRNAs above. The expression of the 16 miRNAs unreported and having exact sequences and their targets by experiment could be detected in different tissues of strawberry ranging from roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits by qRT-PCR and some of them showed differential expression in various tissues. The functional analysis of 16 miRNAs and their targets was carried out. Finally, we conclude that there are 34 mirRNAs in strawberry and their targets play vital roles not only in growth and development, but also in diverse physiological processes. These results show that regulatory miRNAs exist in agronomically important strawberry and might have an important function in strawberry growth and development.
