background protein-bound toxins such as indoxyl sulfate (is) are not efficiently removed by conventional hemodialysis (hd). objectives to improve the removal of is, we performed an in vitro study to evaluate the effects of high dissolved hydrogen on the dissociation of is from albumin using simulated hd. materials and methods wasted dialysate from peritoneal dialysis was concentrated a hundred ...

PURPOSE Calcium oxalate urolithiasis is one of the most common urinary tract diseases and is of high prevalence. The present study proposes to evaluate the antilithiatic property of hydrogen sulfide and its metabolites like thiosulfate & sulfate in an in vitro model. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antilithiatic activity of sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaSH), sodium thiosulfate (Na(2)S(2)O(3)) and sodi...

Domains rich in cationic amino acids are ubiquitous in peptides with the ability to cross cell membranes, which is likely related to the binding of such polypeptides to anionic groups on the membrane surface. To shed more light on these interactions, we investigated specific interactions between basic amino acids and oligopeptides thereof and anions by means of electrophoretic experiments and m...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), citric acid, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), alone or in combination, on reducing the population of four foodborne pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus on eggshells. In each series of tests, eight fresh eggs were inoculated with each bact...

objectives: the aims of this study were to test whether lightening of the overexposed radiographs improve determination of endodontic files length and whether lightened radiographs are comparable with ideally exposed radiographs. material and methods: four dried human skull coated with soft tissue-equivalent wax used for exposing radiographs of the upper molars. first, the endodontic file was p...

the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) was degraded by novel strain ofpseudomonas aeruginosa kgs under accession no. jq328193, which was isolated from carwash wastewater. the purpose of this research was to study different optimization conditionsrequired for enhancing the biodegradation of sodium dodecyl sulfate p. aeruginosa kgs.influence of different physicochemical factors such ...

nanoporous sodium montmorillonite clay (na+-mmt) was used as a support for the immobilization of 1-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (na+-mmt-[pmim]hso4). this catalyst showed excellent catalytic activity for the preparation of 2-amino-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4h-benzopyrans via three-component reactions between aldehydes, dimedone and malononitrile. the proc...

The relationship between hydrogen ion secretion and the transport of other electrloytes was examined in the isolated urinary bladder of the water turtle. Symmetrical solutions which were free from exogenous carbon dioxide and bicarbonate bathed the two surfaces of the preparation, and the spontaneous electrical potential of the bladder was nullified by a voltage clamp. Active transport of sodiu...

a mathematical method for calculation of the minimum cross-sectional area of a thickener is presented by obtaining minimum laboratory batch settling test data, a function, which is called settling function, is derived. this function is found to be in the form of a polynomial of third order. the settling function and mass flux relation are used for the design of thickener. the method predicts th...
