AIM The study investigates the effects of magnesium nanovesicles on the memory processes performance in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS L-a-phosphatidylcholine was used to obtain nano formulations as lipid vesicles systems stabilized thereafter with chitosan. The experiment was carried out on white Swiss mice, divided into 3 groups of 7 animals each, treated orally 7 consecutive days: Group I (Co...

The thermophilic Geobacillus bacterium catalyzed the formation of 100-μm hexagonal crystals at 60°C in a hydrogel containing sodium acetate, calcium chloride, and magnesium sulfate. Under fluorescence microscopy, crystals fluoresced upon excitation at 365 ± 5, 480 ± 20, or 545 ± 15 nm. X-ray diffraction indicated that the crystals were magnesium-calcite in calcite-type calcium carbonate.

Mixtures of aldonic and aldaric acids are difficult to analyse. Aldonic acids can be separated in a satisfactory way on anion-exchange resins with a solution of sodium chloride as eluent. Under these circumstances, however, aldaric acids show unacceptably long elution times and peak broadening. The ability of aldaric acids to form non-adsorbable complexes with magnesium ions lowers their elutio...

Twenty-two patients receiving long term diuretic treatment for arterial hypertension (19) and congestive heart failure (3) received magnesium chloride 10 mmol/day for four months. Both systolic and diastolic pressures decreased significantly, by a mean of 13 +/- 9 mmHg. No significant changes were recorded in serum or urinary electrolytes except for magnesium.

There is a power and a force in magnesium that cannot be equaled anywhere else in the world of medicine. There is no substitute for magnesium in human physiology; nothing comes even close to it in terms of its effect on overall cell physiology. Without sufficient magnesium, the body accumulates toxins and acid residues, degenerates rapidly, and ages prematurely. It goes against a gale wind of m...

Various electrochemical approaches, including potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit potential evolution and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), are employed to investigate the degradation behavior of biomedical magnesium alloy under the influence of aggressive ions, such as chloride, phosphate, carbonate and sulfate, in a physiological environment. The synergetic effects and mutu...

MgSO4 is routinely used in therapeutics despite its toxicity. The aim of the present review was to compare MgSO4 and MgCl2 effects in order to answer the question whether MgSO4 could be or not replaced by MgCl2. Considering that the two salts have both similar and proper effects, a clear-cut conclusion is not easy to draw. However, choosing MgCl2 seems advisable because of its more interesting ...

The extruded AZ61A magnesium alloy plates of 6 mm thickness were butt welded using friction stir welding (FSW) process. The corrosion behavior of the welds was evaluated by conducting immersion test in NaCl solution at different pH value, immersion time and chloride ion concentrations. An empirical relationship was established incorporating pH value, immersion time and chloride ion concentratio...

OBJECTIVE To review the physiology and cardiovascular effects of the commonly used intravenous electrolytes. DATA SOURCES Abstracts, articles and published reviews of studies reported from 1966 to 2000 and identified through a MEDLINE search on cardiac arrhythmias and electrolytes. SUMMARY OF REVIEW While isotonic saline solutions are used to improve the haemodynamic status in critically il...
