The objective of this study was to determine the optimal mixing ratios pork skin gelatin, κ-carrageenan, and calcium chloride for manufacturing senior-friendly gelatin gels with hardness tongue or gum intake, as well fulfilling protein, dietary fiber, contents Korean industry standard (KS) foods. ratio ingredients determined within 6.60~33.3% (w/v) 2.50~6.25% 0.235~2.351% using response surface...

Whole-cell patch-clamp techniques were used to study enzymatically dispersed epicardial coronary artery smooth muscle cells. Depolarizing voltage pulses of 500millisecond duration from -60 mV (118 mmol/L CsCl, 22 mmol/L tetraethylammonium chloride, and 5 mmol/L EGTA pipette solution) elicited inward L-type calcium currents (ICa). When EGTA was omitted from the pipette solution, an outward curre...

The contributions of electrogenic sodium/calcium exchange current ( I NaCa), calcium-activated chloride conductance [ I Cl(Ca)], and calcium-activated nonselective cation conductance to delayed afterdepolarizations (DAD) were examined. Nonselective cation channels were absent in canine M cells, since inhibition of I NaCa and I Cl(Ca)eliminated all calcium-activated currents without abolishing c...

A significantly improved apparatus for the isopiestic measurement of thermodynamic activities at elevated temperatures is described. Details of the new design and of an analysis of the propagation of the experimental errors are presented. The apparatus was tested by measurements of calcium chloride against sodium chloride at 353.15 K. Accuracies of better than 0.1% in the osmotic coefficient ar...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of cerium chloride, cerium chloride/fluoride and fluoride application on calcium release during erosion of treated dentine. METHODS Forty dentine samples were prepared from human premolars and randomly assigned to four groups (1-4). Samples were treated twice a day for 5 days, 30s each, with the following solutions: group 1 placebo, group 2 fluoride (Elmex ...

Vasopressor agents may affect cerebral oxygenation (rScO2) as determined by near-infrared spectroscopy on the forehead. This case series evaluated the effect of calcium chloride vs. α and β-adrenergic receptor agonists on rScO2 in patients (n = 47) undergoing surgery during i.v. anesthesia. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac output (CO) were assessed by Model-flow(®) and ephedrine (55 ± 3...

The concentrations of malate, calcium ions, hydrogen ions, and chloride ions were measured in secretions coliected hetween June 1991 and May 1992 from the secretor\ trichomes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.|. The average maiate cisncentration was 114 mM and \ aried from 2 to 2K7 mM. the average chloride ion concentration «as 177 mM and varied trom 68 to 355 mM, and the average calcium ion conce...

Debaryomyces hanseniZopf isolated from the fructoplane of apples were found to be effective as biocontrol agent against rot of papaya caused by Ulocladium. chartarum(Pr.) Simm. The ability of D. hansenii to prevent infection of U. chartarum was lost when the antagonist cells were killed by autoclaving. Cell free culture filtrates of antagonist were unable to prevent disease incidence. Efficacy ...

Ipomoea carnea fam. Convolvulaceae is a poisonous plant and its toxicity is supposed to be due to the cardiac and respiratory failure. The present paper describes the cardiac effect of aqueous extract of the fresh leaves of I. carnea using mouse and frog heart. The aqueous extract produced an initial blockade of isolated frog heart for 5-10 sec followed by dose dependent increase in both amplit...
