Experiments were carried out in conscious, chronically instrumented lambs (n = 8) and young adult sheep (n = 11) to investigate age-dependent renal responses to hemorrhage. Various parameters of renal function were measured for 1 h before and 1 h after either 10% hemorrhage (experiment 1) or 20% hemorrhage (experiment 2). The two experiments were carried out in random order at intervals of 2-5 ...

In an open-chest porcine model, we examined whether myocardial pharmacological conditioning at the time of reperfusion with low-dose insulin or insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), not affecting serum glucose levels, could reduce infarct size and improve functional recovery. Two groups of anaesthetized pigs with either 60 or 40 min. of left anterior descending artery occlusion (total n = 42) we...

Lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) from Vibrio marinus MP-1 was purified 15-fold and ammonium activated. The optimum pH for pyruvate reduction was 7.4. Maximum lactate dehydrogenase activity occurred at 10 to 15 degrees C, and none occurred at 40 degrees C. The crude-extract enzyme was stable between 15 and 20 degrees C and lost 50% of its activity after 60 min at 45 degrees C. The partially p...

Materials and Methods The patients included in the study were those after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting, and heart valve replacement surgeries, complicated by ARDS, in ICU RSCS after acad. Vakhidov within 20102014. In complex respiratory therapy included intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV). In a comparative aspect, to divide two group patients: Group A,...

Using a global database of 125 magnetometers covering several decades, we present occurrence statistics for fluctuations the horizontal geomagnetic field (dBh/dt) exceeding 99.97th percentile (P99.97) both ramp changes (Rn) and root-mean-square (Sn) over periods, ?, from 1 to 60 min describe their variation with latitude magnetic local time (MLT). Rates exceedance are explained by reference mag...

RP-HPLC method was developed for simultaneous determination of escitalopram oxalate (ESC) and flupentixol HCl (FLU) in tablet dosage form. Mobile phase consisting mixture acetonitrile potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0 with 0.1% triethylamine) the ratio 60: 40 at flow rate 1ml/min using C18 Grace (250mmX 4.6mm) column 231 nm. The retention time ESC FLU found to be 2.96 min 6.98 min, respectivel...

INTRODUCTION Since strenuous exercise for 10 min during preoxygenation was shown to provide better protection from decompression sickness (DCS) incidence than resting preoxygenation, a logical question was: would a longer period of strenuous exercise improve protection even further? HYPOTHESIS Increased strenuous exercise duration during preoxygenation increases DCS protection. METHODS Ther...

Photocatalyst nanocomposites of ZnO/bentonite clay are synthesized by Solid-state ion exchange method. Ion exchange intercalation process of clays is used to incorporate the catalyst into the basal space of the layered structure of clays. The purpose of this study is to find a new method, which is focused on simplifying and saving time to prepare ZnO-bentonite composite with photocatalyst prope...
