From the data given above the following explanation of the effects of continued loss of the external secretion of the pancreas may be offered. The underlying event is a steadily increasing deficit of sodium and of chloride ion due to the large requirement for these electrolytes in the construction of pancreatic juice. In consequence there is continued loss of water, chiefly from the body fluids...

OBJECTIVE To review the physiology and cardiovascular effects of the commonly used intravenous electrolytes. DATA SOURCES Abstracts, articles and published reviews of studies reported from 1966 to 2000 and identified through a MEDLINE search on cardiac arrhythmias and electrolytes. SUMMARY OF REVIEW While isotonic saline solutions are used to improve the haemodynamic status in critically il...

Nucleus accumbens-1 (NAC1), a nuclear factor belonging to the BTB/POZ gene family, has emerging roles in cancer. We report here that NAC1 acts as a negative regulator of cellular senescence in transformed and nontransformed cells, and dysfunction ofNAC1 induces senescence and inhibits its oncogenic potential.We show that NAC1 deficiency markedly activates senescence and inhibits proliferation i...

Although several plant microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play a role in plant development, no phenotype has yet been associated with a reduction or loss of expression of any plant miRNA. Arabidopsis thaliana miR164 was predicted to target five NAM/ATAF/CUC (NAC) domain-encoding mRNAs, including NAC1, which transduces auxin signals for lateral root emergence. Here, we show that miR164 guides...

This study determined if any of four endodontic solutions would have a softening effect on resorcinol-formalin paste and if there were any differences in the solvent action between these solutions. Resorcinol, formalin, and zinc oxide were mixed and allowed to set for 30 days. The solutions tested were 0.9% sodium chloride, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, chloroform, and Endosolv R. Seven samples pe...

Microbial fuel cell represents an emerging technology to attain electrical energy from wastewater. There are several alternative methods available for wastewater treatment; Microbial fuel cell is one of them, which generates green energy from wastewater for making a contribution to renewable sources of energy. This study states the performance of microbial fuel cell with different parameters i....

The recommendation to avoid high dietary “salt” intake for the prevention and treatment of hypertension is often expressed in terms of dietary sodium. However, a consistent body of evidence suggests that the chloride component of salt is an important contributor to NaClinduced elevations of blood pressure.1 In several rat models of salt-sensitive hypertension (Dahl salt-sensitive [S] rat, DOCA-...

Abstract Nucleus accumbens-associated protein 1 (NAC1) is a transcriptional co-factor that has been extensively investigated in cancer biology. Our recent studies indicate NAC1 can modulate the functional activity of regulatory T cells and tumoral expression restrains antitumor immunity. However, little known about its regulation memory cells. In current study, we analyzed CD4 +T from wild type...

Five cycles of germination NaC1 tolerant alfalfa and the source population, 'Mesa Sirsa', were germinated in four salt solutions (NaC1, NaNO3, KC1, and KNO3) and Mannitol to try to determine the general mechanism involved in seed germination salt tolerance. Average germination over all germplasm sources in NaC1, NaNO3, KC1, KNO3, and Mannitol were 44.80, 38.88, 36.24, 29.07, and 60.93 percent, ...
