Measurement of Intracellular Ionized Caenorhabditis elegans Calcium in aFree - liying Soil Nematode ,
A calcium chelating fluerescence indicator, fura-2, was used to measure intracellular ionized calcium in thenorhabditis eLegons. The indicator loading process was harmless to the nematode, and completed within 2-3 h. Fura-2 was loaded mainly at its intestinal tract. The effects of DOPA on locomotion and the level of intracellular c lcium were investigated and measured by using a microfl"oromete...
متن کاملReducing routine ionized calcium measurement.
BACKGROUND Ionized calcium (iCa) is measured frequently in hospitalized patients, and hypocalcemia is frequently found, seemingly supporting the practice. METHODS We retrieved the results of 58 040 iCa tests and records of intravenous (IV) and oral calcium supplementation from laboratory and hospital information systems and evaluated them for frequency of testing, frequency of hypocalcemia, a...
متن کاملMeasurement of intracellular calcium.
To a certain extent, all cellular, physiological, and pathological phenomena that occur in cells are accompanied by ionic changes. The development of techniques allowing the measurement of such ion activities has contributed substantially to our understanding of normal and abnormal cellular function. Digital video microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and more recently multiphoton mic...
متن کاملA Study on the Effects of Modulation of Intracellular Calcium on Excisional Wound Healing in Rabbit
An in vitro study on the role of intracellular calcium ions in healing of excisional wound in rabbit was undertaken. We employed two drugs namely, glibenclamide and nitroglycerin that are topically applied in vivo to modulate the activity of intracellular calcium. Our model consisted of a 15 ´ 15 mm excisional wound. Seven groups of New Zealand rabbits were used. The first three groups served a...
متن کاملIon effects in measurement of ionized calcium with a calcium-selective electrode.
We examined the performance characteristics of an improved electrode for measurement of ionized calcium (Orion Research, Inc.) with respect to interferences by Na+, K+, Li+, Mg2+, and H+, as well as the effect of changes in ionic strength and osmolality. At physiologically observed concentrations, all ions except Na+ insignificantly affected ionized-calcium measurements. The decrease in ionized...
