Background/aims: Ca(2+)/CaM is known to modulate the activity of several transport systems and its regulation can be accomplished either directly or via the involvement of specific protein kinases. Aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of Ca(2+)/CaM on bicarbonate and lactate transports in rat jejunal enterocyte.
Methods: Enzymatic assays in isolated plasma membranes were performed. Moreover membrane vesicles, transiently opened and resealed, were loaded with Ca(2+) and calmodulin, both in the absence and in the presence of ATP, and were used after that to perform uptake studies.
Results: Enzymatic assays gave evidence for the presence of Ca(2+)/CaM-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in plasma membranes from rat jejunum. However, uptake experiments suggest that Ca(2+)/CaM, and not CaMKII, inhibits both basolateral Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange and H(+)-lactate symport, whilst HCO(3)(-) and Cl(-) conductances are unaffected. Neither Ca(2+)/CaM nor CaMKII seem to regulate brush border Na(+)/H(+) exchanger activity.
Conclusion: These data are consistent with a Ca(2+)/CaM-mediated reduction of bicarbonate and lactate exit from jejunal enterocyte.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) supplementation on 200 m time trial performance and physiological responses in swimmers, following PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search across five databases identified eligible randomized controlled trials comparing NaHCO₃ with placebo. Outcomes were 200 m time, blood bicarbonate, blood lactate, and blood pH.

The hydrogenation of bicarbonate, a byproduct of CO captured in alkaline solutions, into formic acid (FA) using glycerol (GLY) as a hydrogen source offers a promising carbon-negative strategy for reducing CO emissions. While Pd-based catalysts are effective in this reaction, they often require high temperatures, leading to low FA yield due to strong hydrogen adsorption on Pd surfaces. In this work, metal-organic framework derived N-doped carbon encapsulated CoNi alloy nanoparticles (CoNi@NC) were prepared, acid-leached, and employed as a support to modulate the electronic structure of Pd-based catalysts.

Background: Venous blood gas and acid-base analysis is often performed in cats and requires appropriate reference intervals (RIs) for interpretation. The currently available RIs were created from small numbers of cats, while current guidelines suggest that a minimum number of 40 samples is required for the creation of an accurate/appropriate RI.
Key Findings: In 41 healthy awake cats, pH, PCO, PO, sodium, potassium, ionized calcium, chloride, glucose, and plasma lactate concentrations were measured, while bicarbonate, standardized base excess, and anion gap were calculated.
Introduction: In patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock (AMICS), the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) remains the most commonly used form of mechanical circulatory support (MCS). However, information on the characteristics of non-responders is limited. This study evaluated the risk factors associated with 30-day mortality in a cohort of patients with AMICS, on IABP support.

The discrepancy between donor organ availability and demand leads to a significant waiting-list dropout rate and mortality. Although quantitative tools such as the Donor Risk Index (DRI) help assess organ suitability, many potentially viable organs are still discarded due to the lack of universally accepted markers to predict post-transplant outcomes. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) offers a platform to assess viability before transplantation.
