Lithium has previously been observed to stimulate in vitro Dexter culture hemopoiesis with increases in granulocytes, megakaryocytes, and pluripotent stem cells (CFU-S). In the present study, a two-phase murine Dexter culture system was established to study the mechanism of lithium-mediated stem cell stimulation. Different lots of horse sera or fetal calf sera were found to have markedly differ...

The electrical conductivity, thermochemical and electrochemical properties of a system consisting melts aluminium trichloride sodium-lithium chlorides taken in different ratios have been studied. In this system, the behaviour Ni2+ ions via cyclic voltammetry electromotive force modes heating cooling were It was found that melting temperature passes through minimum at lithium chloride (хLiCl) co...

1. We have measured cation transport in vivo in seven healthy volunteers under control conditions and after they had taken lithium carbonate for 21 days in doses which maintained the serum lithium concentration in the range 0.6-0.8 mmol/l. 2. We have measured cation transport in vivo after the administration of an oral load of rubidium chloride, and have found that, although intra-erythrocytic ...

Nanopore experiments have traditionally been carried out with chloride-based solutions. Here we introduce silver/silver-glutamate-based electrochemistry as an alternative, and study the viscosity, conductivity, and nanopore translocation characteristics of potassium-, sodium-, and lithium-glutamate solutions. We show that it has a linear response at typical voltages and can be used to detect DN...

The psychiatric use of lithium salts in the control of mood disorders is now well established (Prien et al. 1971). There are, however, of late reports to indicate that lithium salts might exert an influence upon complex psychological functions viz. acquisition, retention and subsequent elicitation and expression of learned responses, which appear to be directly related to the drug induced chang...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The migratory efficiency of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) toward cerebral infarct after transplantation is limited. Valproate (VPA) and lithium enhance in vitro migration of MSC by upregulating CXC chemokine receptor 4 and matrix metalloproteinase-9, respectively. Ability of VPA and lithium to promote MSC homing and to improve functional recovery was assessed in a rat mode...
