BACKGROUND N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), singly or combined, inconsistently prevent patients exposed to radiographic contrast media from developing contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). OBJECTIVE We asked whether intravenous isotonic saline and either NaHCO3 in 5% dextrose or else a high dose of NAC in 5% dextrose prevent CI-AKI in outpatients exposed to high...

Sedation of fish before handling and transporting can help curtail undue stress that affect their health. This study investigated the effectiveness sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) utilised as an anaesthetic agent for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) with average weight 13.5 ± 0.55 g. The experimental were grouped exposed to different concentrations at 0, 40, 45 50 g L–1 NaHCO3 dissolved in water. Fish...

En un invernadero de la costa Oaxaca, se evaluó tolerancia los pastos híbridos del género Brachiaria: Cobra (BR02/1794), Cayman (BR02/1752), Camello (GP 3025) y Mulato II (CIAT 36087) a condiciones salinas inducidas por NaCl, MgCl2 NaHCO3 siete niveles salinidad: 0, 1.13, 2.48, 3.84, 5.19, 6.40 9.60 g L-1. Se registró el porcentaje emergencia, altura plantas, diámetro tallo, número hojas macoll...

BACKGROUND Developing algal industries in saline-alkali areas is necessary. However, suitable strains and optimal production conditions must be studied before widespread commercial use. OBJECTIVES The effects of light, temperature, KNO3, and CO(NH2)2 on beta-carotene and biomass accumulation were compared and evaluated in order to provide scientific guidance for commercial algal production in...

This study was made to explore the effects of acetazolamide on tumor growth, metastasis and the possible mechanisms. The mice bearing with Lewis lung carcinomas were taken as the animal model. The effects of acetazolamide were compared with the combination treatment of NaHCO3 on tumor growth, metastasis and carbonic anhydrase activity in lung and tumor tissues using imidazole-Tris technique. An...

In this work, the mass and energy balances economic analysis of a continuous process for reduction CO2 (captured as NaHCO3) into sodium formate using Zn reductant are studied. The reaction in hydrothermal media has advantage easily integrating conversion system with capture by absorption basic solutions. conditions (pressure, Zn/NaHCO3 molar ratio, residence time) were theoretically optimized. ...

A basal diet (0.8 g/kg dNa) was formulated in which each of the two sources (NaHCO3 and Na2SO4) were supplemented in such a way to attain four levels (1.7, 2.6, 3.5, and 4.4 g/kg) of total dNa, respectively, under 4×2 factorial arrangement. Eight dietary treatments were replicated four times, with 40 birds in each replicate (n = 1,280). The diets supplemented with Na2SO4 to attain higher levels...

Expolitation of coalbed methane (CBM) involves production of a massive amount saline water that needs to be properly managed for environmental protection. In this study, direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) was utilized for treatment of CBM-produced water to remove saline components in the water. Simulated CBM waters containing varying concentrations of NaCl (1, 20, and 500 mM) and NaHCO...

An experiment with growing lambs was designed to test the hypothesis that alterations in blood acid-base status would influence intake of corn silage. Six wethers (29 kg) were fed a diet of corn silage (36% DM, 8% CP) supplemented with 1.25% urea and .2% sulfur. At feeding time, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium sesquicarbonate (NaSC) were added to the silage at levels of 0, 2% or 4% of di...

Acid and base loads infused into the dorsal aorta of the freshwater channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus Rafinesque) were excreted by both gills and kidneys. The gills excreted 2-3 times as much as the kidneys. After a 2 mmol . kg-1 load of NaHCO3, the gills excreted 50% of the net OH- load in the first 5 h, while the kidneys excreted 18% in the first 6 h. After a 2 mmol . kg-1 load of NH4Cl, t...
