Article Abstract
1. The effects of volume depletion and NaHCO(3) loading on the expression of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3), Na(+) : HCO(3)(-) cotransporter type 1 (NBC1) and neuronal (n) and inducible (i) isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) were determined in rat kidney. 2. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Rats were divided into four groups: (i) euvolaemic (EC); (ii) hypovolaemic (HC); (iii) euvolaemia with NaHCO(3) loading (EB); and (iv) hypovolaemia with NaHCO(3) loading (HB). The expression of NHE3, NBC1, nNOS and iNOS proteins was determined in the cortex of the kidney by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Tissue content of nitric oxide (NO) metabolites (NO(x)) were also determined in the cortex using a colourimetric assay. 3. Compared with the EC group, the expression of NHE3 and NBC1 was increased in the HC group and decreased in the EB group. Comparing the EB and HB groups, the expression of NHE3 and NBC1 was higher in the latter group. The expression of NHE3 was decreased and that of NBC1 was increased in the HB group compared with the HC group. The NO(x) content and nNOS expression were decreased in the hypovolaemic (HC) and NaHCO(3)-loaded (EB and HB) rats. Moreover, the expression of iNOS was decreased in the HB group compared with the other groups. 4. An altered volume status and NaHCO(3) loading may affect the regulation of NHE3 and NBC1 in the kidney and the endogenous NO system may play a role in the observed effects.

Background: Cardiovascular therapeutic devices typically require systemic heparin due to underlying thrombotic risk. The Impella axial flow system further relies on internal perfusion with either a heparin-containing or sodium bicarbonate purge solution during operation. The combination of systemic and device-mediated heparin often contributes to varying levels of overall anticoagulation, raising the possibility of increased bleeding risk and complications due to heparin sensitivity.

Immediate release (IR) amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) tablets are currently manufactured via a multi-step process which includes hot melt extrusion (HME), grinding of the extrudate, sieving to achieve narrow particle size, blending with other excipients, and finally, direct compression. Due to the multi-step nature of the process, the production time and costs are much higher for ASD tablets than conventional tablets. Thus, a new and more efficient method of IR-ASD tablet production using HME coupled with injection molding (IM) was explored as a viable alternative.

High ambient temperature (HTa) in tropical conditions leads to evaporative heat dissipation by panting in lactating dairy goats. This panting causes respiratory hypocapnia, which increases the renal excretion of buffer molecules including sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate. In response, renal acid excretion decreases to preserve acidity.

The selective isolation by countercurrent chromatography of artepillin C, a prenylated derivative of p-coumaric acid, directly from the ethanol extract of Brazilian green propolis in a single step was developed using a two-phase system containing organic solvent and a basic aqueous solution, based on the ionization ability of carboxyl groups in a basic medium, which allows the selective extraction of compounds such as artepillin C to the aqueous phase, in the form of a salt. The solvent system hexane - 5 % aqueous NaCO was first optimized with different proportions of ethyl acetate, with the hexane - ethyl acetate ratio 1:1 - 5 % aqueous NaCO being selected. Fractionation of the ethanol extract of green propolis with this solvent system yielded artepillin C with a purity of 72 %.
