To the Editor, The Indian Medical Gazette. Sir,?Dr. Brahmachari advises the use of sodium chloride in making up antimony solutions for injection, ' and Drs. Napier and Muir state that the use of sodium chloride does not matter much and their injections can be given without sodium chloride. I have recently noticed in my kala-azar centres that while using scale preparation of sodium antimony tart...

The enhancing effect of sodium chloride addition on the adsorption of paraquat onto activated carbon was discussed from the standpoints of equilibrium amount adsorbed and adsorption rate in vitro. The amount of paraquat adsorbed was increased by the addition of sodium chloride. The amount adsorbed with 0.1% addition was about five times greater than that in sodium chloride-free solution at an e...

abstract various resistances to salinity are due to plants genetically variations, and selection on the basis of one factor will not be a suitable criterion in measurement of resistance to salinity, therefore in choosing resistant varieties, it is necessary to notice to a set of resistant indexes to salinity, creating changes in physiology, anatomy and morphology of plant species. this research...

These experiments were aimed at investigating renal behavior towards chloride, as distinct from sodium, during dietary deprivation of these ions in adrenalectomized rats. Adrenalectomized and shamoperated control rats were maintained on saline for 3 wk, then chloride conservation during a very low chloride intake was assessed both with an abundant sodium intake (as buffered sodium phosphate in ...

introduction: pomegranate (punica granatum l.) belong to punicaceae family is native to iran and grown extensively in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide. pomegranate is also important in human medicine and its components have a wide range of clinical applications. cracking causes a major fruit loss, which is a serious commercial loss to farmers. fruit cracking, seems to be a problem that less...

TEIGER, D., F. ScHEwzR AND A. FARAH: The effects of sodium ion and rate of stimulation on the refractory period of isolated rabbit atrial muscle. J. Pharmac. exp. Ther. 155: 58-68, 1967. Variations in sodium ion concentration and rate of stimulation influence the effective refractory period of rabbit atrial musde. Thus sodium chloride concentrations higher than normal and an increase in rate of...

This study evaluated the effects of sodium chloride reduction and replacement with potassium chloride or modified potassium chloride based salts using a weight or molar equivalent basis on the sensory and physico-chemical properties of pork sausage patties. Three independent replications of pork sausage patties were manufactured to compare five treatments: full sodium, reduced sodium, modified ...

Blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension is raised by sodium chloride but not by nonchloride sodium salts. Although a high sodium chloride diet is known to augment the pressor response to norepinephrine and angiotensin II, the effect of nonchloride sodium salts on pressor responsiveness has not been studied so far. To examine whether sodium chloride and nonchloride sodium salts ev...

NAC1 is a transcriptional corepressor protein that is essential to sustain cancer cell proliferation and migration. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of NAC1 function in cancer cells remain unknown. In this study, we show that NAC1 functions as an actin monomer-binding protein. The conserved BTB protein interaction domain in NAC1 is the minimal region for actin binding. Disrupting NA...
