Potentiation of anti-cancer drug activity at low intratumoral pH induced by the mitochondrial inhibitor m-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and its analogue benzylguanidine (BG). (1/428)

Tumour-selective acidification is of potential interest for enhanced therapeutic gain of pH sensitive drugs. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of a tumour-selective reduction of the extracellular and intracellular pH and their effect on the tumour response of selected anti-cancer drugs. In an in vitro L1210 leukaemic cell model, we confirmed enhanced cytotoxicity of chlorambucil at low extracellular pH conditions. In contrast, the alkylating drugs melphalan and cisplatin, and bioreductive agents mitomycin C and its derivative EO9, required low intracellular pH conditions for enhanced activation. Furthermore, a strong and pH-independent synergism was observed between the pH-equilibrating drug nigericin and melphalan, of which the mechanism is unclear. In radiation-induced fibrosarcoma (RIF-1) tumour-bearing mice, the extracellular pH was reduced by the mitochondrial inhibitor m-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) or its analogue benzylguanidine (BG) plus glucose. To simultaneously reduce the intracellular pH, MIBG plus glucose were combined with the ionophore nigericin or the Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitor amiloride and the Na+-dependent HCO3-/Cl- exchanger inhibitor 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid (DIDS). Biochemical studies confirmed an effective reduction of the extracellular pH to approximately 6.2, and anti-tumour responses to the interventions indicated a simultaneous reduction of the intracellular pH below 6.6 for at least 3 h. Combined reduction of extra- and intracellular tumour pH with melphalan increased the tumour regrowth time to 200% of the pretreatment volume from 5.7 +/- 0.6 days for melphalan alone to 8.1 +/- 0.7 days with pH manipulation (P < 0.05). Mitomycin C related tumour growth delay was enhanced by the combined interventions from 3.8 +/- 0.5 to 5.2 +/- 0.5 days (P < 0.05), but only in tumours of relatively large sizes. The interventions were non-toxic alone or in combination with the anti-cancer drugs and did not affect melphalan biodistribution. In conclusion, we have developed non-toxic interventions for sustained and selective reduction of extra- and intracellular tumour pH which potentiated the tumour responses to selected anti-cancer drugs.  (+info)

Effect of obesity on red cell mass results. (2/428)

Measurement of red cell mass with isotope dilution remains an important diagnostic test in the evaluation of patients with suspected polycythemia vera (PCV). Results and reference ranges are typically expressed in units normalized for body weight (mL/kg). Obesity is common in polycythemic patients, and it is important to know how the various published normative ranges compare across a wide range of body weights. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 51 consecutive patients referred for red cell mass determination with 51Cr red blood cell dilution. Results were expressed in milliliters per kilogram (mL/kg) by using the actual patient weight and after adiposity adjustments using ideal body weight, body mass index (BMI) and combinations of height-weight, including body surface area. Results were classified as normal, elevated or PCV. RESULTS: There was a high prevalence of obesity in our population (28/51 [55%] with BMI > 27 kg/m2, BMI range 16.0-54.8 kg/m2). The method used to compensate for obesity had a dramatic effect on the derived red cell mass, the fraction of patients with elevated measurements and the fraction of patients meeting criteria for PCV. Concordance for categorization as normal, elevated or PCV by all methods was only 47.1%. CONCLUSION: Obesity is a common confounding factor in the interpretation of red cell mass measurements. Currently published reference ranges generate inconsistent results when extrapolated to obese patients. Further normative data on obese subjects are needed to determine which method (if any) is optimal.  (+info)

Role of antioxidant defenses against ethanol-induced damage in cultured rat gastric epithelial cells. (3/428)

Reactive oxygen species appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury in vivo. Because ingested ethanol diffuses into the gastric mucosa, targeting both epithelium and endothelium, in the present study we examined the possible protective effect of antioxidants on ethanol damage in gastric epithelial cells and endothelial cells in vitro. Cytotoxicity by ethanol was quantified by measuring 51Cr release. The effects of impairment of the glutathione redox cycle and of inhibition of cellular catalase were examined. The generation of superoxide was assessed by the reduction in cytochrome c. Ethanol caused a time- and dose-dependent increase in 51Cr release from epithelial cells. Incubation of cells with DL-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine, while reducing glutathione production, dose dependently enhanced ethanol-induced injury. 1,3-Bis(chloroethyl)-nitrosourea, while inhibiting glutathione reductase activity, also sensitized cells to ethanol. In contrast, the inhibition of catalase with 3-amino-1,2, 4-triazole did not alter the susceptibility of epithelial cells to ethanol. Ethanol induced damage to endothelial cells in a similar fashion. In endothelial cells, however, neither impairment of the glutathione cycle nor inhibition of catalase influenced ethanol-induced damage. Epithelial cells, when exposed to ethanol, increased superoxide production as a function of ethanol concentration, whereas endothelial cells did not. The glutathione redox cycle, but not cellular catalase, plays a critical role in protecting epithelial cells against ethanol damage, whereas neither antioxidant seems to play a role in protection of endothelial cells. The distinct difference in antioxidant protection against ethanol appears to depend on the capability of each cell to produce cytotoxic oxygen species in response to ethanol exposure.  (+info)

High predictive value of red cell volume measurement using carboxy-haemoglobin in a rabbit model of haemorrhage. (4/428)

We have studied the accuracy of blood volume measurements using carbon monoxide (CO)-labelled haemoglobin (COHb) injection and dilution (CO method) by comparing changes in red cell volume (RCV) measured using the CO method and 51Cr-labelled erythrocyte dilution (51Cr method) in a haemorrhage and infusion model in rabbits. RCV was measured repeatedly using the CO method at four different blood volume stages (stages I-IV). At stages I and IV, RCV was measured simultaneously using the 51Cr method. In comparing the sum of the circulating RCV and extracted RCV (SUM RCV) using the CO method, the values were almost equal and there were no significant differences between the values at the four stages. In comparing circulating RCV measured using the CO method and the 51Cr method, mean difference between the two methods was 0.80 (SD 0.76) ml kg-1 or 4.7 (4.6)%, and a positive correlation was observed (r = 0.91). We conclude that the CO method can be used to measure blood volume during perioperative periods in infants because it avoids use of a radioactive tracer, is simple and repeated measurements are possible.  (+info)

Urokinase receptor (uPAR, CD87) is a platelet receptor important for kinetics and TNF-induced endothelial adhesion in mice. (5/428)

BACKGROUND: Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR, CD87) is a widely distributed 55-kD, glycoprotein I-anchored surface receptor. On binding of its ligand uPA, it is known to increase leukocyte adhesion and traffic. Using genetically deficient mice, we explored the role of uPAR in platelet kinetics and TNF-induced platelet consumption. METHODS AND RESULTS: Anti-uPAR antibody stained platelets from normal (+/+) but not from uPAR-/- mice, as seen by fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis. 51Cr-labeled platelets from uPAR-/- donors survived longer than those from +/+ donors when injected into a +/+ recipient. Intratracheal TNF injection induced thrombocytopenia and a platelet pulmonary localization, pronounced in +/+ but absent in uPAR-/- mice. Aprotinin, a plasmin inhibitor, decreased TNF-induced thrombocytopenia. TNF injection markedly reduced the survival and increased the pulmonary localization of 51Cr-labeled platelets from +/+ but not from uPAR-/- donors, indicating that it is the platelet uPAR that is critical for their response to TNF. As seen by electron microscopy, TNF injection increased the number of platelets and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in the alveolar capillaries of +/+ mice, whereas in uPAR-/- mice, platelet trapping was insignificant and PMN trapping was slightly reduced. Platelets within alveolar capillaries of TNF-injected mice were activated, as judged from their shape, and this was evident in +/+ but not in uPAR-/- mice. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate for the first time the critical role of platelet uPAR for kinetics as well as for activation and endothelium adhesion associated with inflammation.  (+info)

Role of 5-lipoxygenase products in the local accumulation of neutrophils in dermal inflammation in the rabbit. (6/428)

Studies were undertaken to define the role of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) products and, in particular, of leukotriene (LT) B4 in the polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) emigration process using a rabbit model of dermal inflammation. Our results show that i.v. administration to rabbits of MK-0591, a compound that inhibits LT biosynthesis in blood and tissues when administered in vivo, significantly reduced 51Cr-labeled PMN accumulation in response to intradermally injected chemotactic agonists, including IL-8, FMLP, C5a, and LTB4 itself. In addition, pretreatment of the labeled PMN with MK-0591 ex vivo before their injection in recipient animals was equally effective in reducing 51Cr-labeled PMN emigration to dermal inflammatory sites. These results support a role for de novo synthesis of 5-LO metabolites by PMN for their chemotactic response to inflammatory mediators. Other studies demonstrated that elevated intravascular concentration of LTB4 interferes with PMN extravasation inasmuch as a continuous i.v. infusion of LTB4, in the range of 5-300 ng/min/kg, dose-dependently inhibited extravascular PMN accumulation to acute inflammatory skin sites elicited by the chemoattractants LTB4, FMLP, C5a, and IL-8 and by TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and LPS; such phenomena may constitute a natural protective mechanism from massive tissue invasion by activated PMN in specific pathologic conditions such as ischemia (and reperfusion). These studies demonstrate additional functions of 5-LO products in the regulation of PMN trafficking, distinct from the well-characterized chemotactic activity of LTB4 present in the extravascular compartment.  (+info)

Impaired autoregulation of the glomerular filtration rate in patients with nondiabetic nephropathies. (7/428)

BACKGROUND: The ability of the kidney to maintain constancy of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) over a wide range of renal perfusion pressures is termed autoregulation. Defective autoregulation of GFR has been demonstrated in diabetic nephropathy. Whether this is also the case in patients with nondiabetic nephropathies is not known. METHODS: We investigated the effect of acute lowering of blood pressure (BP) on GFR in 16 (8 males and 8 females) albuminuric subjects suffering from different nondiabetic nephropathies and in 14 (7 males and 7 females) controls matched with respect to sex, age, BP, and baseline GFR. The subjects received in random order an intravenous injection of either clonidine (150 to 225 microg) or saline (0.154 mmol/liter) within two weeks. We measured GFR ([51Cr]-EDTA), albuminuria (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; ELISA), and BP (Takeda TM-2420). RESULTS: Clonidine induced similar reductions in mean arterial BP 17 (2) versus 19 (2) mm Hg [mean (SE)] in patients with nephropathy and in controls, respectively. GFR diminished in average from 89 (6) to 82 (5) ml/min/1.73 m2 (P < 0.05), and albuminuria declined from a geometric mean of 1218 (antilog SE 1.3) microg/min to 925 (1.3) in the patients with nondiabetic nephropathies (P < 0.05), whereas these variables remained unchanged in the control group. The mean difference between changes in GFR (95% confidence interval) between the nondiabetic macroalbuminuric and control subjects was 6.1 (-0.03 to 12.21) ml/min/1.73 m2 (P = 0.051). CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that albuminuric patients with nondiabetic nephropathies frequently suffer from impaired autoregulation of GFR.  (+info)

Injurious effect of Helicobacter pylori culture fluid to gastroduodenal mucosa, and its detoxification by sucralfate in the rat. (8/428)

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori plays an important role in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer. Although several cytotoxins related to H. pylori have been reported, their effects on gastroduodenal mucosa have not been well evaluated in vivo. AIM: To investigate the effects of the combination of acid and toxic substances derived from H. pylori on gastroduodenal mucosa, and to observe the effect of sucralfate on such factors in the rat. METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fasted overnight and anaesthetized. The pylorus was ligated, and a double-lumen cannula was inserted into the forestomach for gastric luminal perfusion. In other animals, a cannula was inserted to perfuse the proximal duodenum. 51Cr-EDTA was administered intravenously and mucosal integrity was monitored by measuring the blood-to-lumen 51Cr-EDTA clearance. After 72 h of culture of H. pylori (NCTC11637 and Sydney strain 1), Brucella broth containing 3% FBS was filtered to remove the bacteria (supernate of H. pylori culture fluid; HPsup). HPsup was acidified (pH=2.0) with HCl, and tested for its injurious action on gastric or duodenal mucosa by luminal perfusion. HPsup was incubated with sucralfate for 30 min. The supernate was collected by centrifugation and the pH was readjusted to 2.0. This sucralfate-treated HPsup was used to test the effect of sucralfate against H. pylori-related mucosal injurious factors. RESULTS: Non-acidified and acidified HPsup did not cause any detectable injury to the gastric mucosa. Non-acidified HPsup did not cause injury in the duodenal mucosa. However, acidified HPsup induced a significantly greater increase in 51Cr-EDTA clearance and greater histological damage than in controls. Sucralfate completely reversed this. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that an H. pylori-related toxic substance may aggravate duodenal acid injury by acting on luminal surfaces, and that the detoxification of this substance by sucralfate may contribute to its anti-ulcer action.  (+info)

Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony Celebrates Completion of Chromium-6 Treatment Plant - Cal WaterRibbon-Cutting Ceremony Celebrates Completion of Chromium-6 Treatment Plant - Cal Water
Cal Water held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of a chromium-6 (Cr-6) treatment plant in its Dixon District yesterday. Mayor Jack Batchelor and representatives from Senator Lois Wolk, Assemblymembers Bill Dodd and John Garamendis offices; Solano County Supervisor John Vasquez, among other local officials, were in attendance.. The treatment plant, one of three plants Cal Water has constructed in the past year, will reduce the amount of naturally occurring Cr-6 from the local water supply. In July 2014, the State of California set the countrys first regulation for Cr-6, allowing no more than 10 parts per billion (ppb) of the constituent be in water provided to consumers. Wells in Cal Waters Dixon District had naturally occurring Cr-6 levels ranging from 15-24 ppb; however, since the treatment plants came online, the water supply in the Dixon District has remained in compliance with the new state standard.. In order to find the most effective solution, Cal Waters Water ...
Cancer Causing Chromium-6 Found In 75% Of Drinking Water In America - Infinite UnknownCancer Causing Chromium-6 Found In 75% Of Drinking Water In America - Infinite Unknown
As Donald Trump said recently at a rally in Michigan, we used to make cars in Flint and you couldnt drink the water in Mexico. Now the cars are being made in Mexico, and you cant drink the water in Flint. Nor can you safely drink public water almost anywhere in America, as its almost universally contaminated with chromium-6, heavy metals or other toxic chemicals.. This doesnt even cover the deliberate poisoning of public water systems with fluoride, a neurotoxic chemical purchased in bulk from Chinese chemical plants (or sometimes acquired as a waste product from fertilizer manufacturing factories). Fluoride is dumped into public water supplies under the quack science claim that every person in the nation is deficient in fluoride - a blatantly false and highly irresponsible claim. In reality, many children suffer from fluorosis, a dark mottling and discoloration of the teeth caused by too much exposure to toxic fluoride.. Avoid fluoride. A highly toxic metal, fluoride accumulates in certain ...

Estimation of residual glomerular filtration rate in peritoneal dialysis patients using cystatin C: comparison with 51Cr-EDTA...Estimation of residual glomerular filtration rate in peritoneal dialysis patients using cystatin C: comparison with 51Cr-EDTA...
Background. Measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important assessment in peritoneal dialysis patients. In clinical practice, it is commonly measured by calculating the mean of the urinary clearance of urea and creatinine (GFRUrCl) but this process is time consuming and unreliable. We wished to compare several estimates of GFR including residual GFR estimated from cystatin C (GFRCysC) using a published equation (Hoek), GFRUrCl and 51Cr-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) clearance, in peritoneal dialysis patients.. Methods. GFRCysC, GFRUrCl and 51Cr-EDTA clearance were measured in 28 patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis in a single dialysis unit.. Results. GFRCysC was related to GFRUrCl (Spearmans rank correlation coefficient rs = 0.44; P = 0.0185) and to 51Cr-EDTA clearance (rs = 0.48; P = 0.0099). GFRCysC values were significantly (P = 0.0077) lower than 51Cr-EDTA clearance results (mean bias −19.7%). However, GFRCysC did not differ significantly (P , 0.05) from ...

Whats Really in Your Tap Water? - LewRockwellWhat's Really in Your Tap Water? - LewRockwell
For other contaminants, there are no specific federal standards, the EWG says. In the case of chromium-6, which is a form of the element chromium, for example, the government looks only at overall chromium levels, and not all types are harmful. Chromium-6 has been linked to tumors in animal studies, and may also be linked to increased risk of stomach cancer in workers exposed to the compound, the EWG says. Chromium - 3, on the other hand, is "mostly harmless.". This is why in some areas we see chlorine and other disinfectants added into the water supply, which raises even more health concerns and doesnt really provide an ample solution to the problem.. Below is a great statement from the Waterkeeper Alliance:. "Every day around the world, polluters are poisoning our waterways, and people everywhere are suffering the consequences. When a coal company discharges millions of gallons of toxic coal ash into a river, families who depend on that waterway as a drinking-water source are the innocent ...

SUMMARY The survival of red cells in the circulation can be measured in a variety of ways: (1) by labeling with radioactive isotopes, particularly chromium-51 (51Cr), and assessing the disappearance of the radioactive tag from the circulation over time; (2) by labeling the erythrocytes with biotin or a fluorescent dye and measuring this marker over time; (3) by determining the disappearance of transfused antigen-matched allogeneic erythrocytes using immunologic markers; and (4) by measuring the excretion of carbon monoxide, a product of heme catabolism.. Such studies show that normal human red cells have a finite life span averaging 120 days, with very little random destruction. The mitochondrial and ribosomal removal highlighting maturation of the reticulocyte is accompanied by increasing cell density, but after a few days of intravascular life span there is little further increase in density or other changes in the physical property of the red cells. Thus, cell density is not a good marker for ...

Two mouse monoclonal anti-anti-idiotopic antibodies (anti-anti-Id, Ab3), AF14 and AF52, were prepared by immunizing BALByc mice with rabbit polyclonal antiidiotypic antibodies (anti-Id, Ab2) raised against antibody D1.3 (Ab1) specific for the antigen hen egg lysozyme. AF14 and AF52 react with an internal image monoclonal mouse anti-Id antibody E5.2 (Ab2), previously raised against D1.3, with affinity constants (1.0 3 109 M21 and 2.4 3 107 M21, respectively) usually observed in secondary responses against protein antigens. They also react with the antigen but with lower affinity (1.8 3 106 M21 and 3.8 3 106 M21). This pattern of affinities for the anti-Id and for the antigen also was displayed by the sera of the immunized mice. The amino acid sequences of AF14 and AF52 are very close to that of D1.3. In particular, the amino acid side chains that contribute to contacts with both antigen and anti-Id are largely conserved in AF14 and AF52 compared with D1.3.

As noted in the Introduction, the role of NO in epileptogenesis is unclear. NO has been suggested to be both an anticonvulsant and a proconvulsant in animals (9, 10, 12-16). These inconsistencies may be due to the fact that although these studies measured the effects of NOS inhibitors, they did not actually measure NO production. The advantage of the current L-band EPR study is that we can make direct NO measurements by detecting it as the (DETC)2-Fe-NO complex in the brain of living mice. We were able to confirm that NO levels are elevated in tonic and clonic convulsions.. Both the in vivo and ex vivo EPR measurements confirmed that more NO was produced in the tonic than in the clonic convulsions, perhaps indicating that NO levels were proportional to the intensity of the convulsion. These results suggest that NO works as a proconvulsant. However, in the presence of NOS inhibitors, both L-NNA and 3Br-7NI suppressed the transition from clonic to tonic convulsion at high PTZ doses, while the ...
GROUNDWATER: Chromium-6 not Hinkleys only concernGROUNDWATER: Chromium-6 not Hinkley's only concern
Public water supply systems generally blend or treat the water to ensure that the water delivered to the consumers has arsenic concentrations below the (maximum contaminate level, or MCL)," Fram wrote in an email.. One private well in Hinkley exceeded the safe drinking limit for arsenic by nearly 30 times, Izbicki said in a phone interview Wednesday.. In addition, water from six of the 72 wells sampled exceeded the drinking water limit for uranium, while six of the 72 also exceeded the drinking water limit for nitrate, he said.. Last week, Hinkley residents received letters stating the USGS found unsafe levels of arsenic, uranium or nitrate in their wells, Izbicki said.. One Hinkley resident said shes not afraid of the arsenic.. "Im managing it," Penny Harper said.. "I knew it was four times the MCL, now I find out that it is five times (the safe level for arsenic in drinking water)," she said after receiving the USGS report.. In 2013, PG&E installed a reverse osmosis filter under her bathroom ...

Californias Water Quality Challenges - Public Policy Institute of CaliforniaCalifornia's Water Quality Challenges - Public Policy Institute of California
Almost 400 small rural water systems and schools are unable to provide safe drinking water. In some areas, nitrate-produced by nitrogen fertilizers and manure-is polluting local groundwater basins. Chemicals such as arsenic and chromium-6 are also a challenge. Treatment to remove contaminants is costly for small systems that do not benefit from economies of scale. Solutions for at-risk communities statewide would require additional expenditures of $30-$160 million annually, and this number is likely to grow as requirements are tightened. Effective wastewater management is also a challenge in many of these communities. New state funding and administrative support-including more flexibility to encourage consolidation with larger systems-will help, but durable funding for system operations is needed ...

Introduction: Therapy with chimeric antigen receptor T (CART) cells for hematological malignancies has shown promising results. Effectiveness of CART cells may depend on the ratio of naive (T-N) vs. effector (T-E) T cells, TN cells being responsible for an enduring antitumor activity through maturation. Therefore, we investigated factors influencing the T-N/T-E ratio of CART cells.. Materials and methods: CART cells were generated upon transduction of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with a CD19.CAR-CD28-CD137zeta third generation retroviral vector under two different stimulating culture conditions: anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibodies adding either interleukin (IL)-7/1L-15 or IL-2. CART cells were maintained in culture for 20 days. We evaluated 24 healthy donors (HDs) and 11 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) for the composition of cell subsets and produced CART cells. Phenotype and functionality were tested using flow cytometry and chromium release assays.. Results: IL -7/1L-15 ...

For now, the most specific, sensitive and versatile method for evaluating target cell death is the radioactive 51Cr release assay. However, radioactive methods are very difficult to implement in an industrial context and alternative methods (such as calcein or enzymes release-based assays) generally suffer from poor performances, resulting in difficulties in assay validation. Furthermore, available surrogate assays, such as FcγR affinity or effector cell activation assays, do not comply with the Regulatory requirement of biological relevance, i.e. the final lysis of target cells ...
Assessment of Total Chromium in Illinois Community Water Supplies - Public Water UsersAssessment of Total Chromium in Illinois Community Water Supplies - Public Water Users
In response to the Environmental Working Groups recent report on the presence of chromium-6 in drinking water, U.S. EPA will work with state and local officials to better determine how wide- spread and prevalent this contaminant is. When U.S. EPA finishes their guidance and approved sample method for chromium-6, it will be used to develop a network to scientifically assess the prevalence of chromium-6 in source water (surface and groundwater), drinking water, and public water supply distribution systems. This information will help to prioritize U.S. EPAs technical assistance and guidance. Moreover, it will also assist U.S. EPA with the question of prevalence and need to establish a drinking water standard.. Illinois EPA believes that it is very important that we start with a sound understanding and assessment of what we know relative to total chromium in Illinois ground and surface water (including Lake Michigan) used as a source of public water supply. To that end, Illinois EPA has developed ...

Beyond Pesticides, January 4, 2011) A report released by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) finds that drinking water in 31 cities across the country is contaminated with hexavalent chromium, or chromium-6, a carcinogenic chemical contaminant with numerous sources including treated wood utility poles that line streets and backyards across the the United States. Wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA), such as playgrounds, decks, and railroad ties, in addition to utility poles, can leach the chemicals into soils and groundwater, creating serious risks to public health. Other common sources of chromium-6 pollution include discharge from steel and pulp mills as well as metal-plating and leather-tanning facilities. It can also pollute water through erosion of natural deposits.. The use of CCA in the treatment of utility poles is notable not only because of the presence of poles in numerous communities throughout the country, but also because utility companies often donate or sell ...

In this study, efficient, high-precision grinding of cemented carbide alloys using a specific grinding wheel was performed, and the ground surface characteristics were investigated in detail. The results showed that final finishing using a chromium-bonded wheel produced an extremely smooth surface with an average roughness Ra of 4 nm. The grinding process produced a chromium- and copper-rich surface layer, as well as a large amount of diffusion of oxygen. Adhesive strength tests using a microscratching method were also carried out on ground substrates coated with diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. The surface ground by the chromium-bonded wheel exhibited superior adhesive strength due to its strong chemical affinity with the DLC film.. ...

We have shown that both regressor and progressor clones can be isolated from a UV regressor tumor, RD-1024. Although the daughter clones are characterized by differences in tumorigenic potential in normal transplant hosts, they nevertheless seem to express the same major tumor rejection antigens, because immunization with either the regressor parent tumor, RD-1024, or with regressor Cl 8 protects against subsequent challenge with progressor C1 4 or Cl 9. Consistent with the in vivo-generated data is the evidence that draining lymph node cells with functional specificity for regressor Cl 8 are capable of cross-reactive cytotoxicity in an in vitro chromium release assay. We have demonstrated an indirect interaction occurring in vivo between regressor and progressor cells, in that Cl 8 cells have the ability to influence the outcome of simultaneous or sequential challenge with Cl 4 or Cl 9 cells. Because 500 rad of gamma irradiation has been shown to compromise the ability of mice to respond to a ...

The energy requirements for T-cell-mediated cytolysis have been investigated. Cytolytic thymus-derived lymphocytes (CTL) were generated in vitro in mixed leukocyte cultures and assayed for cytotoxicity on 51Cr-labeled mastocytoma target cells. Cytolysis was only slightly reduced in the absence of exogenous glucose (less than 5 micrometer) or under conditions of extreme hypoxia (less than 0.2 micrometer oxygen). Furthermore, neither the glucose analogues 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 5-thio-D-glucose nor the respiratory antagonists sodium azide and 2,4-dinitrophenol were very effective inhibitors of cytolysis when used individually. However, these glucose analogues were highly effective in inhibiting cytolysis in the absence of oxygen, and the respiratory antagonists inhibited cytolysis to a much greater extent in the absence of glucose. In addition, synergistic effects were observed when the glycolytic and respiratory inhibitors were combined. Taken together, these results indicate that T-cell-mediated ...

We studied the effects of hyperthermia (up to 43°) on the cytolytic activity (51Cr release assay) and differentiation of primary and secondary cytolytic T-lymphocytes (CTL) in vitro. Mixed-leukocyte cultures were established from splenic leukocytes of C57BL/6 mice and DBA/2 stimulator lymphocytes, and the CTL formed on Day 4 (primary) or on Day 21, 3 days after restimulation of the cultures with alloantigen (secondary), were assayed against P815 mastocytoma cells. Hyperthermia (43°) caused a marked decrease in cytolytic activity, the response curves for primary and secondary CTL being characterized by an initial shoulder followed by an exponential curve with an increment of dose needed to reduce activity to 37% of a starting value of 4 or 2 min, respectively. Some of the damage was repaired when the cells were incubated at 20° or 37° for several hr (peak = 4 hr), and neither suppression of protein synthesis nor damage to membrane lipids seemed to be the causative mechanism.

The solution of D-glucose was perfused for 1 h and the rate of absorption was calculated from the amount that disappeared from the perfusate. D-Glucose was absorbed rapidly from the dorsum of the tongue and the absorption was saturable. The saturable absorption was also observed in the ventral surface of the tongue, but not in the other three sites. The rate of D-glucose absorption in the dorsum and the ventral surface of the ...

In patients with hematocrit of 60% or above the A blood viscosity is increased, and the tissue oxygenation is compromised. There is an increased incidence of cardiovascular complications. Immediate phlebotomy is often done, but if the red cell volume is not increased and the plasma volume and total blood volume are decreased, phlebotomy may be harmful. Twenty-five patients with hematocrits of 60% or above have been studied. Patients with clinical or laboratory evidence of dehydration are not included. Red cell volume was determined by chromium-51 and plasma volume by iodine-131 human serum. The expected red cell volume and plasma volume ...
