in this study, the effects of acute and chronic lithium on nociception induced by formalin and its interactions with morphine-induced analgesia were studied in mice. formalin test was selected to study nociception. subcutaneous injection of different doses of morphine (1.5, 3 and 6 mg/kg) induced analgesia in a dose dependent manner in both phases of the formalin test. intraperitoneal administr...

objective: the lithium concentration in the plasma is assumed to give someindication as to the concentration of this ion in different organ cells especially incentral nervous system. while the practical value of intracellular lithium measurement is controversial however, erythrocytes have proved to be useful for studying lithium concentration and its transport across the membrane. there are som...

spinel-type of mno2 nanoparticles which successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal process, have a required capacity for lithium uptake from liquid resources. themost lithium adsorption capacity of 6.6 mmol/g of up to now was found to be an important limiting parameter for industrial applications. therefore, increasing uptake capacity of these ion sieves by studding the effect of six effective ...

In the present study, interactive effects of D1 and D2 dopamine receptors antagonists and different periods of lithium pretreatment on morphine dependence in mice have been investigated. This study was designed to investigate whether the hypothesis that lithium and dopaminergic mechanisms via their effects on phosphoinositide pathways and calcium flux could influence morphine withdrawal respons...

objective: cartilage mass produced from mesenchymal stem cell (msc) differentiation would be a suitable candidate for use in regenerative medicine. since the proper function of cartilage tissue is largely dependent on matrix glycosaminoglycan (gag) contents, the objective of this study was to investigate the enhancing effect of two gsk3 inhibitors on the gag content of cartilage produced by hum...

Introduction: Magnesian silicates such as for-sterite (Mg 2 SiO 4) and enstatite (MgSiO 3) are major minerals in universe including disks around young stars [e.g., 1], shells around evolved stars, in particular, oxygen rich stars [e.g., 2, 3] and so on. It is thus important to understand evaporation and condensation behaviors of magnesian silicates, which are major phase-transformation reaction...

TiO2 has been considered as a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries. However, its poor rate capability originating from the intrinsically low lithium ion diffusivity and its poor electronic conductivity hampers putting such an application into practice. Both issues can be addressed by nanostructure engineering and conductive surface coating. Herein, we report a template-assisted sy...

During the past decade, tremendous attention has been given to the development of new electrode materials with high capacity to meet the requirements of electrode materials with high energy density in lithium ion batteries. Very recently, cobalt silicate has been proposed as a new type of high capacity anode material for lithium ion batteries. However, the bulky cobalt silicate demonstrates lim...

The study aimed to find the origin of high lithium content groundwater in southeast Hungary. To be concerned with assessing economic potential these waters, it is necessary investigate lithium-releasing geochemical processes. For this purpose, granite and pegmatite samples were analysed for alteration from various Battonya Complex locations. key processes are chloritisation biotite sericitisati...

conclusions lithium intoxication should be considered in the differential diagnosis, especially in elderly patients on lithium therapy who are admitted to the emergency department with chest pain. case presentation a 62-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department due to weakness and acute chest pain. her ecg revealed st elevation in leads di, avl and v5-6, with a ventricular rate of...
