Increased concentrations of metal ions after metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip remain a concern. Although there has been no proven link to long-term health problems or early prosthetic failure, variables associated with high metal ion concentrations should be identified and, if possible, corrected. Our study provides data on metal ion levels from a series of 76 consecutive pati...

the solubility of cdf2 in the mixed solvent (water(1)+ethanol(2)) with mass fraction, w1 = 0.9,was determined by using solvent evaporating method in the presence of various concentrations(0.100, 0.200, 0.300, 0.400, 0.500, 0.600, 0.800 and 1.500 mo1.1)) of naci at 25°c. the values ofsolubility and solubility product constant of cdf2 in the mixed solvent were evaluated at zero ionicstrength upon...

Evidence is given of the presence in the cellular material obtained from the pneumonic lung of a proteolytic enzyme digesting coagulated blood serum at hydrogen ion concentrations of 7.3 to 6.7 and inactive at higher; i.e., more acid concentrations. In addition, evidence is brought forward of the presence in the cellular material from the pneumonic lung of a proteolytic enzyme splitting peptone...

BACKGROUND Acid-base abnormalities in neonatal diarrheic calves can be assessed by using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation or the simplified strong ion approach which use the anion gap (AG) or the strong ion gap (SIG) to quantify the concentration of unmeasured strong anions such as D-lactate. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To determine and compare the clinical utility of AG and SIG in quantifying th...

The steady state kinetics of sodium and potassium ion transport adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6-l. 3) suggests an activating action of adenosine triphosphate in addition to its action as a phosphate donor. This action might be an acceleration of dissociation of Kf or its congeners from the enzyme. To test this possibility transient kinetics of the phosphoenzyme was investigated. In membranes f...

ABSTRACT- Olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the most valuable and widespread fruit trees in Iran. Salt stress-induced changes in membrane stability, photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity were examined on four olive cultivars (Dakal, Shiraz, Zard and Amigdalifolia) by emphasizing the correlation between measured parameters and ion (K+, Na+) accumulation. Plants were subjected to four s...

The influence of simple salts on the ion exchange and protonation equilibria of an amphoteric ion-exchange resin, which has strong base and weak acid moieties in a single functional group fixed onto the styrene-DVB matrix, has been investigated. Concentrations of ionic species in the amphoteric ion-exchange resin in equilibrium with various sodium salt solutions were estimated by (23)Na NMR spe...

In order to investigate the functions of reductones, their mutagenic action was studied with and without cupric ion using Salmo nella typhimurium TA 100 strain. Triose reductone (TR), which has the simplest enediol structure among reductones, induced a notable frequency of his+ revertants at 2.5 or 5mM. The addition of cupric ion to TR at a molar ratio of 1:1,000 lowered the most active concent...

This is a study of the negative ion chemistry in the mesosphere above Troms using a number of EISCAT observations of high energy proton precipitation events during the last solar maximum, and in particular around sunset on 23 October, 1989. In these conditions it is possible to look at the relative importance of the various photodetachment and photodissociation processes controlling the concent...
