Profound hypothermia can be induced and reversed with safety without opening the chest when a heart/lung machine is used (Woodhall, Sealy, Hall, and Floyd, 1960; Patterson and Ray, 1962). Blood is drained into the heart/lung machine from an external iliac vein and, after being oxygenated and cooled or warmed as the case may be, is returned to the body through an external iliac artery (Fig. 1). ...

Abstract Background Iron overload, which is common in patients with haematological disorders, known to have a suppressive effect on haematogenesis. However, the mechanism for this still unclear. The antioxidant curcumin has been reported protect against iron overload-induced bone marrow damage through an as-yet-unknown mechanism. Methods We established overload cell and mouse models. Mitochondr...

To study the ionic basis of salt sensitivity in hypertension, 19F-, 13P-, and 23Na-nuclear magnetic resonance techniques were used to measure cytosolic free calcium (Cai), pH (pHi), free magnesium (Mgi), and sodium (Nai) in erythrocytes of essential hypertensive subjects (n = 19). Individuals were studied for 2 mo each on low- (UNaV < 50 meq/d) and high- (UNaV > 200 meq/d) salt diets, with the ...

We study the reversal of magnetization in an isotropic ferromagnetic film free from charges by exposing it to a circularly polarized electromagnetic (EM) field. The magnetization excitations obtained in the form of line and lump solitons of the completely integrable modified KP-II equation which is derived using a reductive perturbation method from the set of coupled Landau-Lifshitz and Maxwell...

Sucrose (Suc) is the predominant form of carbon transported through the phloem from source to sink organs and is also a prominent sugar for short-distance transport. In all streptophytes analyzed, Suc transporter genes (SUTs or SUCs) form small families, with different subgroups evolving distinct functions. To gain insight into their capacity for moving Suc in planta, representative members of ...

Wheat germ and fish skin usually has not been completely utilized sometimes may be discarded, thus causing a lot of waste. Here, we aim at exploring the therapeutic anti-inflammatory effects protease hydrolysates wheat on ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. In current study, protein (WGPH) gelatin (FSGH) treated mice had longer colon than DSS-induced Moreover, reversed gut dysbiosis. Protease were li...

The effect of repetitive electrical field stimulation and the response of the guinea-pig and rat ileal longitudinal muscle to single pulse stimulations was examined. Single pulse field stimulation produced twitch contraction which was inhibited by repetitive field stimulation (10 Hz, 40V, 0.5 msec for 5 m). This inhibition was largely, though never completely, reversed by naloxone. Contrac...
