Purified human brain calmodulin does not alter the bicarbonate permeability of the ANO1/TMEM16A channel Yawei Yu and Tsung-Yu Chen Volume 145, No. 1, January 5, 2015. Pages 79–81. In a revised version of Jung and Lee’s Letter to the Editor, two additional panels were added to their Fig. 1. Consequently, Yu and Chen’s references to Jung and Lee’s Fig. 1, B and C, should refer instead to Fig. 1, ...

We aimed to assess the presence and availability of arsenic (As) in intertidal marshes of the Scheldt estuary. Arsenic content was determined in soils sampled at 4 sampling depths in 11 marshes, together with other physicochemical characteristics. Subsequently, a greenhouse experiment was set up in which pore water arsenic (As) concentrations were measured 4 times in a 298-day period in 4 marsh...

Results rSO2b increased at 12 hours (p = 0.0039), and rSO2s did not change compared to data immediately after surgery. Deficit base decreased (p = 0.016) and standard bicarbonates increased (p = 0.016) on POD1, lactate decreased (p = 0.0001) and diuresis increased (p = 0.013) on POD2, heart rate decreased (p = 0.035) on POD3. There was no change in systemic arterial blood pressure, left atrial ...

Phillipsite tuff samples from Jebal Aritayn (Jordan) was treated chemically by acid, base, and salt and thermally at 200 and 400 oC. Both treated and untreated phillipsite samples were titrated with HCl and NaOH. The potentiometric titration curves showed that Jordanian phillipsite tuff exists in the base form (pH 8.5) and thus has a remarkable buffering capacity toward H. The effect of chemica...

The occurrence of tonic clonic convulsion in an irregularly monitored epileptic patient may pose a problem of differential diagnosis with other convulsant pathologies such as cerebral malaria. We are reporting a case of cerebral malaria that occurred in an epileptic patient whose seizures had been taken as a status epilepticus, the consequence of which was a delay diagnosis of malaria. The obje...

BACKGROUND Metabolic acidosis, usually manifested by low serum bicarbonate level, is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and appears to be associated with higher mortality in dialysis patients. It is not known whether a similar association is present in patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD (NDD-CKD). METHODS We used multivariable-adjusted Cox models to examine the association between b...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the anti-mutagenicity of Salivette and test-tube sampling saliva. In addition, the relation between the inhibiting and pH-buffering capacities of saliva was investigated. METHODS Subjects were 52 healthy female university students. The collection of saliva samples was carried out using 2 sampling devices; test-tube and Salivette. The anti-mu...

This work features first asymmetric Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of allylic carbonates with aldehydes, which may proceed via allyl-Ni intermediates although Zn was used as the terminal reductant. Moderate to excellent enantiomeric excess was obtained with excellent functional group tolerance.

Fluorescence ratio imaging microscopy (Tanasugarn, L., P. McNeil, G. Reynolds, and D. L. Taylor, 1984, J. Cell Biol., 98:717-724) has been used to measure the spatial variations in cytoplasmic pH of individual quiescent and nonquiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. Fundamental issues of ratio imaging that permit precise and accurate temporal and spatial measurements have been addressed including: excitatio...

Image and spectral intensity from bicarbonate-selective europium(III) probes localised in the mitochondria of cells is modulated reversibly by variation of external pCO(2), and is suppressed by addition of the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, acetazolomide.
