Transport properties of incipient gels.
We investigate the behavior of the shear viscosity eta(p) and the mass-dependent diffusion coefficient D(m,p) in the context of a simple model that, as the cross link density p is increased, undergoes a continuous transition from a fluid to a gel. The shear viscosity diverges at the gel point according to eta(p) approximately (p(c)-p)(-s) with s approximately 0.65. The diffusion constant shows ...
متن کاملMethods for studying mucociliary transport.
UNLABELLED Mucociliary transport dysfunctions can impair the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic rhinossinusitis and lead to severe consequences such as alterations in respiratory physiology or even death as in cases of cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the physiology of the mucociliary apparatus and how its components (cilia, ...
متن کاملAssessment of pulmonary mucociliary transport using magnetic nanoparticles: influence of their surface potential
Objective(s): Inhaled aerocontaminants are removed from the lungs by pulmonary mucociliary transport (MCT) as an important defense mechanism. This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of the surface potential of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) on the MCT in murine lungs by use of magnetic particle imaging (MPI).Materials and Methods: Three kinds of MNPs (carboxymethyl dextran m...
متن کاملMucociliary transport in ICU patients.
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to determine the bronchial mucus transport velocities in ventilated ICU patients and to study the possible role of impaired mucus transport in the development of retention of secretion and pneumonia. DESIGN The patients were studied prospectively in a convenience sample trial. SETTING The study took place at a university hospital. PATIENTS Thir...
متن کاملEffects of nitric oxide in mucociliary transport.
UNLABELLED The airways are made up of ciliated epithelium which secretes mucous, protecting the respiratory tract from particles inhaled during breathing. Its is paramount to understand the physiology and the mechanisms involved in mucociliary activity. Literature suggests that Nitric oxide (NO), especially the one produced by iNOS expression, maintains the mucociliary function and the immune d...
