The characteristics of cholinoreceptors located on neurons TAN1, TAN2, and TAN3 of the ground snail Achatina fulica were studied by incubation of the central ganglia in a bath with cholinotropic preparations during intracellular recording of background neuron spike activity. Acetylcholine, nicotine, the selective n-cholinoreceptor agonist suberyldicholine, and the selective n-cholinoreceptor agonist 5-methylfurmethide concentration-dependently inhibited background spike activity to the level of complete blockade at concentrations of 500 microM. The m-cholinoblocker metamizil (500 microM) completely prevented the inhibitory activity of concentrations of 5-methylfurmethide of up to 500 microM. The central n-cholinoblocker etherophen (500 microM) completely blocked the inhibitory activity of 500 microM suberyldicholine. However, metamizil and etherophen added separately only partially decreased the inhibitory effects of acetylcholine but could not completely block the effect of acetylcholine. At the same time, mixtures of metamizil and etherophen (500 microM each) completely blocked the inhibition of background spike activity induced by acetylcholine. These results show that both classes of cholinoreceptors act on TAN neurons in the same direction.

Nickel is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant, which has various effects on reproductive endocrinology. In this study, human adrenocortical carcinoma (NCI-H295R) cell line was used as an in vitro biological model to study the effect of nickel chloride (NiCl2) on the viability and steroidogenesis. The cells were exposed to different concentrations (3.

Methods: The plasticizers were extracted from the infant formula with acetonitrile, and purified by solid phase extraction column named OASIS Prime HLB. The analytes were then separated by the chromatographic column (BEH Phenyl, 2.
Fabrication and Characterization of a Pb-Sn Nanowire Array for Detecting Carbon Monoxide.
J Nanosci Nanotechnol
February 2016
In this study, a Pb-Sn alloy nanowire of 80 nm in diameter and 50 microm in length is obtained by an anodic aluminum oxide nanomold and vacuum die casting method. The upper and lower ends of the prepared Pb-Sn alloy nanowire array are vapor deposited with 3 microm of copper thin film, which serves as the conductive layer of the gas sensor. Experimental results show that the sensitivities of 3 gas sensors fabricated by 3 different Sn-Pb alloy nanowire arrays, namely Sn70%-Pb 30% wt, Sn63%-Pb 37% wt and Sn50%-Pb 50% wt, for detecting a carbon monoxide concentration of 500 ppm under a working temperature of 250 degrees C, were 17.

This review challenges the use of solutions of dissolved exogenous H2S in the literature as a tool to determine the potential physiological functions of endogenous H2S as well as its putative therapeutic applications. Our major point of contention is that solutions of dissolved H2S are used in vitro at concentrations, within the high microM range, which are above the concentrations of dissolved H2S found in blood and tissues during lethal H2S exposure in vivo. In addition, since the levels of toxicity are extremely variable among cell types, a property that is seldom acknowledged, the physiological relevance of data obtained after local or in-vitro administrations of H2S at concentrations of few microM is far from certain.
