Sulfate free-electrolyte lavage solution is a new osmotically balanced electrolyte gut lavage solution for colon surgery that has been formulated for improved taste and reduced water and electrolyte changes. Sixty patients were prospectively randomized to receive a 1-day preparation with sulfate free-electrolyte lavage solution or a 3-day preparation using a clear liquid diet, cathartics, and e...

The method described here is a modification of the one employed by Loeb. His method consisted principally in bringing powdered gelatin, by means of acetic acid, to a pH slightly below the isoelectric point and then washing it several times with distilled water. This process brought about a complete removal of various cations. No special care was taken to remove anions except so far as they were...

Background: In-situ preservation of cauda epididymal spermatozoa at -10 degree centigrade with electrolyte free media for obtaining maximum functional gametes than preservation at 5 degree centigrade. Materials and Methods: Electrolyte free media prepared with soybean lecithin-glycerol, Coenzyme Q10 - glycerol and soybean lecithin - Coenzyme Q10- glycerol were inoculated separately into ligated...

Enterocytes maintain fluid-electrolyte homeostasis by keeping a tight barrier and regulating ion channels. Carbon monoxide (CO), a product of heme degradation, modulates electrolyte transport in kidney and lung epithelium, but its role in regulating intestinal fluid-electrolyte homeostasis has not been studied. The major source of endogenous CO formation comes from the degradation of heme via h...

Immiscible metals due to their inherent specs are insoluble over the steady state. Developing an innovative approach to this issue would be fascinating and challenge the overriding rules. Herein, we proffer the principles of synthesis of Cu-Nb nanocomposites using electrochemical deoxidation route. This method consists of the cathodic electrolysis of the nanoparticles Cu-Nb2O5 through the...

L forms were induced from 15 of 16 strains of Listeria monocytogenes on penicillin gradient plates incubated under aerobic conditions. The culture medium for maintenance of these L forms must contain an electrolyte in a concentration of 1% or sucrose in a concentration of 10%. The electrolytes NaCl, KCl, or MgSO(4) were used in both induction and maintenance media. Induction of L forms occurred...

Electroporation of cells is successfully used in biology, biotechnology and medicine. Practical problems still arise in the electroporation of cells in suspension. For example, the determination of cell electroporation is still a demanding and time-consuming task. Electric pulses also cause contamination of the solution by the metal released from the electrodes and create local enhancements of ...

BACKGROUND During kidney development, the embryonic collecting duct (CD) epithelium develops into a heterogeneously composed epithelium consisting of principal and intercalated cells. It is unknown by which molecular mechanism the different cell types arise. We have experimental evidence that the electrolyte environment is involved in the process of terminal cell differentiation. METHODS Embr...

spinal cord injury (sci) is a devastating condition, with sudden loss of sensory, motor, and autonomic function distal to the level of trauma. the primary mechanical trauma causes necrosis, edema, hemorrhage, and vasospasm. a cascade of secondary pathophysiological mechanisms is induced, including ischemia, apoptosis, fluid and electrolyte disturbances, excitotoxicity, lipid peroxidation, produ...
