This study presents for the first time a systematic investigation of thermodynamic properties sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (N–A–S–H), through dissolution pure synthetic N–A–S–H gels.

The group-specific protein reagents, N-bromoacetamide (NBA) and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), modify sodium channel gating when perfused inside squid axons. The normal fast inactivation of sodium channels is irreversibly destroyed by 1 mM NBA or NBS near neutral pH. NBA apparently exhibits an allor-none destruction of the inactivation process at the single channel level in a manner similar to inter...

Acylisothiocyanate (1) was allowed to react with benzylidene malononitrile producing oxazine derivative (2). Also, compound (1) was reacted with sodium azide followed by refluxing with sodium ethoxide affording thiazinotetrazole derivative (4). The reaction of acetylacetone with compound (1) gave pyridine derivative (5) by intramolecular cycloaddition while it was reacted with N-methyl aniline ...

The epithelial sodium channel is found in apical membranes of a variety of native epithelial tissues, where it regulates sodium and fluid balance. In vivo, a number of hormones and other endogenous factors, including polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), regulate these channels. We tested the effects of essential n-3 and n-6 PUFAs on amiloride-sensitive sodium transport in A6 epithelial cells. E...

Using the ability of the nerve fibers to conduct impulses as indicator of changes in the concentration of sodium ions in the interstitial spaces of nerve an evaluation has been made of the diffusion constant of sodium ions. The calculated minimal value (0.62 x 10(-4) cm.(2)/min.) undoubtedly is much too low; nevertheless, it is still so high that as a rule the diffusion of sodium ions is far mo...

Participants Patients were eligible if they had received benefits from Ohio Medicaid or Michigan Medicaid and had received naproxen sodium or ibuprofen, but not both drugs. From a cohort of 378 919 patients in the Computerized On-Line Medical Pharmaceutical Analysis and Surveillance System (COMPASS), 59 patients (54% men) who were admitted to hospital for upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding w...

To investigate factors associated with sodium sensitivity, 157 subjects were studied while receiving 10 and 200 mEq sodium diets. Measurements included blood pressure (BP), forearm vascular resistance, plasma renin activity (PRA), and plasma aldosterone. Sodium repletion was associated with a greater than 5% increase in mean BP in 16% of the normotensive subjects and 29% of the borderline hyper...
