Two-Stage Origin of K-Enrichment in Ultrapotassic Magmatism Simulated by Melting of Experimentally Metasomatized Mantle
2019
The generation of strongly potassic melts in the mantle requires the presence of phlogopite in the melting assemblage, while isotopic and trace element analyses of ultrapotassic rocks frequently indicate the involvement of subducted crustal lithologies in the source. However, phlogopite-free experiments that focus on melting of sedimentary rocks and subsequent hybridization with mantle rocks at pressures of 1&ndash
Pressure dependence of the low-frequency dielectric constant of KNbO_3
1997
The effect of pressure on the low-frequency dielectric constant, $\epsilon_0$, of single crystals of KNbO_3 is investigated by means of capacitance measurements. The dielectric constant increases with pressure up to 22.5 kbar, where it exhibits a large value ($\epsilon_0$ = 5000), and then decreases. This change in its behaviour is related to a phase transition induced by pressure. On decompression, the samples do not revert back to the ambient pressure phase.
Semi-empirical indo and shell-model calculations for perovskites
1999
Abstract Structural, phonon and some elastic and dielectric properties have been calculated for various paraelectric or ferroelectric phases of the perovskites KNbO3 and SrTiO3, using either the semi-empirical INDO (Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap) method or a temperature-dependent shell model. The INDO method was used to calculate the energy changes resulting from [100], [110] or [111] displacements of Nb atoms in the cubic perovskite cell of KNbO3, at 0K. The conventional shell model gives a good account of the elastic, dielectric and phonon properties of the cubic phase of strontium titanate at room temperature, but difficulties remain in modelling the permittivity and elast…
Dual effect mediated by protease-activated receptors on the mechanical activity of rat colon
2002
1. The present study examined the mechanical effects of agonist enzymes and receptor-activating peptides for protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 and PAR-2 on longitudinal and circular muscle of rat isolated colonic segments in the attempt to clarify the PAR functional role in intestinal motility. 2. The responses to PAR-1 and PAR-2 activation were examined in vitro by recording simultaneously the changes of endoluminal pressure (index of circular muscle activity) and of isometric tension (index of longitudinal muscle activity). 3. Both PAR-1 agonists, thrombin (0.1 nM - 3 microM) and SFLLRN-NH2 (1 nM - 3 microM), and PAR-2 agonists, trypsin (0.1 nM - 10 microM) and SLIGRL-NH2 (1 nM - 10 mic…
Arachidonic acid relaxes human pulmonary arteries through K+ channels and nitric oxide pathways.
2004
We aimed to investigate the role of K(+) channels and nitric oxide (NO) on the relaxant effects of arachidonic acid in the human intralobar pulmonary arteries. Arachidonic acid produced a concentration-dependent relaxation (E(max)=93+/-3% of maximal relaxation induced by papaverine 0.1 mM;-log EC(30)=7.03+/-0.09) that was antagonized by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin (1 microM), by the combination of cyclooxygenase blockade and cytochrome P450 (CYP) blockade with 17-octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA, 10 microM), by the combination of cyclooxygenase inhibition and NO synthase (NOS) inhibition with N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine (l-NOARG, 100 microM), by the simultaneous inhibition of CYP and …
Effects of bupivacaine on human erythrocytes submitted to stress and evidence for an interaction between bupivacaine and flumazenil
1999
Aims To examine the effects of bupivacaine on erythrocytes submitted to an oxidative stress (AAPH) and to provide evidence for an in vitro interaction between bupivacaine and flumazenil. Methods Human erythrocytes were studied with or without AAPH in the presence of different concentrations of bupivacaine (0.15, 0.3, 0.9 and 1.8 mmol l−1 ), or flumazenil (0.16 mmol l−1 ) and with the association of flumazenil and two doses of bupivacaine (0.15 and 0.3 mmol l−1 ). Potassium efflux was measured by flame photometry at t0, and every 30 min for 2 h. Results In the absence of AAPH, extracellular potassium remained unchanged. Oxidative stress induced a significant increase in extracellular potassi…

1999
1. This study investigates the effects of two agonists of the prostanoid EP3-receptor (MB PEEP: 1-2 mmHg) and subjected to occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD, for 7.5, 15, 25, 35, 45 or 60 min) followed by reperfusion (2 h). Infarct size was determined by staining of viable myocardium with a tetrazolium stain (NBT), histological evaluation by light and electron microscopy and determination of the plasma levels of cardiac troponin T. 3.

Der erythrocytäre Magnesiumstoffwechsel bei intakter und kälteinhibierter Glykolyse
1962
Continuation of glycolysis in human erythrocytes by incubation of heparinized whole blood at 37°C is followed by a decrease in the Mg-content of red cells. On inhibition of glycolysis by cold (4°C), the Mg-content of erythrocytes remains unaltered or, often, slightly increases. These actions are in clear contrast to the behaviour of potassium ions under the same conditions.
