OBJECTIVE
We have studied the utility of [(18)F]ClF electrophilic addition to the carbon-carbon double bond of analogues of a model positron emission tomography (PET) tracer, [(18)F]EF5. The consequence of simultaneous chlorine/fluorine addition on lipophilicity and biological activity of the
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the sensory block onset time, duration time, and side effects of adding dexmedetomidine to ropivacaine for cervical plexus block.
METHODS
Forty American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Class I or II adult patients who were scheduled to undergo thyroid surgery were
In pentobarbitalized rats, hypoxia induced by inhalation of O2 8%-N2 92%, produces a transient hyperventilation which is followed by a respiratory depression and an apnea. A cardiovascular collapse is then observed. Correction of the hypocapnia depending on the initial hyperventilation, by
OBJECTIVE
Based upon the well known protective effect of intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) accumulation, we tested the hypothesis that storage solution enriched with optimal concentration of the phosphodiestherase-5 inhibitor vardenafil could provide better protection of vascular
Chronic hypoxia caused by migration of native sea-level dwellers to high altitude or chronic lung disease leads to the development of increased pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary hypertension. This altitude-induced hypertension offers no obvious benefit and may indeed be maladaptive. A
Hemodialysis was performed in 12 patients for 2 weeks each utilizing acetate dialysate containing 134 mEq/L sodium and dialysate containing 143 mEq/L sodium, achieved by the addition of sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate to the acetate dialysate. Intradialytic morbidity was lower, dialysis
According to theory, present eukaryotic cells originated from a beneficial association between two free-living cells. Due to this endosymbiotic event the pre-eukaryotic cell gained access to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), which produces more than 15 times as much ATP as glycolysis. Because
The light microscopical morphology of perinatal neuroglia caused by hypoxia was examined in 60 cases, in 5 of them corresponding structures were investigated electron microscopically. The astroglia was studied additional by using the silver impregnation technique Bubenaite in 20 cases of the group.
In depolarised anoxic synaptosomes, in which lactate production was significantly raised compared with normoxic conditions, calcium uptake, net acetylcholine release, and the intrasynaptosomal calcium concentration were all significantly lowered. In contrast, lactate production in synaptosomes
To enhance the production of hCTLA4Ig in transgenic rice suspension cell cultures, anoxic conditions were applied during the production phase. Under the anoxic conditions in sugar-depleted media, cell viability was reduced rapidly and protease activity increased compared to aerobic conditions.
Twin Lakes, located on the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Indian Reservation in eastern Washington, USA, include North Twin Lake (NT) and South Twin Lake (ST). The mesotrophic, dimictic lakes are important recreational fishing sites for both warm-water bass and cold-water trout. To improve
The potential for interaction between the peripheral (PCR) and central (CCR) chemoreflexes has not been studied in the neonatal period, when breathing is inherently unstable. Based on recent work in adult rodents, this study addresses the hypothesis that in neonatal mice there is a hypoadditive
OBJECTIVE
Macrophages play an essential role in immune response, and are closely related to the progression of diseases such as cancer and atherosclerosis. Macrophages polarize to M1 or M2 type, which is related to the environmental hypoxic state. Previously, we found that
Methylmercury (MeHg) strongly bioaccumulates in aquatic food webs resulting in exposure to humans and wildlife through consumption of fish. Production of MeHg is promoted by anaerobic conditions and the supply of inorganic Hg (Hg(2+)), sulfate (SO4(2-)), and labile organic carbon. The anaerobic
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have become important techniques in many research areas. One major limitation is the relatively low sensitivity of these methods, which recently has been addressed by hyperpolarization. However, once hyperpolarization
