Increasing Tumor Extracellular pH by an Oral Alkalinizing Agent Improves Antitumor Responses of Anti-PD-1 Antibody: Implication of Relationships between Serum Bicarbonate Concentrations, Urinary pH, and Therapeutic Outcomes

on translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...

Dexamethasone lowers cytosolic pH in macrophages by altering alkalinizing pH-regulatory mechanisms.

The effect of dexamethasone on cytosolic pH (pHc) in resident mouse peritoneal macrophages was investigated using the fluorescent probe 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein tetra-acetoxymethyl ester (BCECF-AM). Dexamethasone was found to significantly lower pHc and this reduction of pHc evolved gradually with time, was near maximal at 10 nM dexamethasone, and could be prevented by th...
