Introduction: Hypervelocity impacts on the surface of growing planets may generate impact-induced vapor clouds and many chemical species are produced within such vapor clouds. These species may control the surface environments of the planets, such as temperature and redox state of the atmosphere. It is, thus, important to understand the composition of gases produced within an impact-induced vap...

lithium is a drug used for the treatment of bipolar disorder. it has several mechanisms of action, and recently it is shown that lithium can antagonize the 5-ht1b/1d serotonin receptors. sumatriptan is a 5-ht1b/1d receptor agonist used for the treatment of cluster headaches and migraine which might cause memory impairment as a potential side effect. in this study, effects of lithium on sumatrip...

hormone-independent prostate cancer cell lines are resistant to antineoplastic drugs, this study sought to determine the usefulness of lithium chloride as an inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3β to increase the cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin, etoposide or vinblastine antineoplastic drugs on du145 cells. combination effect was assessed by using low and ic50 doses of drugs + lithium chloride...

In the present work, the ash transformation and deposition behavior during wheat straw and wood waste combustion were investigated by combustion experiments in an entrained flow reactor. The influence of sewage sludge addition on ash chemistry and deposition tendency was also studied. During combustion wheat straw, fine fly ash particles smaller than 2.5 μm are mainly formed due to vaporization...

The behavior of lithium ion diffusion from an electrolyte into a polycrystalline layered cathode has been studied using molecular dynamics computer simulations. Lithium silicate glass was the model solid electrolyte while the cathode was a nanocrystalline vanadia with amorphous V2O5 intergranular films ~IGF! between the crystals. Nanosized V2O5 crystals were aligned with their ~001! planes para...

Introduction: Lithium salts are known as effective psychotropic medicine for treatment bipolar disorder and may be used to treat alcoholism, schizoaffective disorders, and cluster headaches. The antioxidant activity and immunomodulatory effects of prospective lithium compounds have been investigated in this work. Materials and Methods: The antioxidant properties were studied by the voltammetry...

These experiments examined the effects of pre-test intra dorsal hippocampus (intra-CA1) administration of GABAA receptor agonist and antagonist, muscimol and bicuculline respectively, on state-dependent learning induced by lithium. Male NMRI mice were trained in a one-trial step-down inhibitory avoidance task, and immediately after training they received IP injections of either saline (10 mL/kg...

Lithium is widely used in medicine as an anti-depressive drug. In spite of abundant literature, questions on the side effects of lithium ions are far from being answered. In this study, the effects of lithium on biochemical parameters related to lipid metabolism were investigated. Male Wistar rats were treated with different doses of lithium for a period of up to 60 days. Blood samples were col...
