Article Abstract
Plasma electrolytic oxidation of zirconium in citric acid was investigated using optical spectroscopy. A rich emission spectrum consisting of about 360 zirconium and 170 oxygen atomic and ionic lines was identified in the spectral regions 313-320, 340-516, and 626-640 nm. It was shown that the remaining features observed in the spectrum could be ascribed to various molecular species, which involve zirconium, oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. The temperature of the plasma core (T = 7500 ± 1000 K) was determined using measured Zr line intensities, and the temperature of peripheral plasma zone (T = 2800 ± 500 K) was estimated from the intensity distribution within a part of an OH spectrum. The composition of the plasma containing zirconium, oxygen, and hydrogen, under assumption of local thermal equilibrium, was calculated in the temperature range up to 12,000 K and for pressure of 10(5) and 10(7) Pa, in order to explain the appearance of the observed spectral features.

Background: The carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme plays an important role in the equilibration of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate (HCO) under the production of H ions. Emerging evidence suggest that CA activity may play a fundamental regulatory role on respiratory control mechanisms in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Clinical trials suggest that CA inhibitors significantly reduce OSA.

The regulation of cellular metabolism and growth in response to nutrient availability is crucial for cell survival and can significantly impact on lifespan. Central to this regulation is a class of transporters that sense and transport specific nutrients and transduce the signal downstream to control genes responsible for growth and survival. In this study, we identified SUL1, a plasma membrane transporter responsible for regulating the entry of extracellular sulfate in , as a key gene for regulating lifespan.

Background: Juxtaglomerular cells are sensors that control blood pressure and fluid-electrolyte homeostasis. They are arranged as clusters at the tip of each afferent arteriole. In response to decreased blood pressure or extracellular fluid volume, juxtaglomerular cells secrete renin, initiating an enzymatic cascade that culminates in the production of Ang II (angiotensin II), a potent vasoconstrictor that restores blood pressure and fluid-electrolyte homeostasis.
