The experimental data obtained from in vivo single pass perfusion of duodenal, jejunal, and ileal intestinal segments of 33- and 50-day-old rats have been used to test a series of models for calcium absorption. Each model was checked for the statistical validity and goodness-of-fit with the experimental data. The model adopted for the duodenum and jejunum had two major components, one saturable and the other nonsaturable, and a minor secretory component. This model was not applicable to ileal calcium absorption. Here the secretory component appeared to be much more important, and the absorption parameters varied in such a manner as to suggest that this intestinal segment was capable of short term autoregulation of dietary calcium absorption.

Screening and identification of two novel phosphate-solubilizing strains and their role in enhancing phosphorus uptake in rice.

Front Microbiol

January 2025

Low phosphorus (P) use efficiency significantly impacts rice yields. An environmentally friendly approach to increase phosphorus absorption and utilization in rice involves the exploration of phosphorus-solubilizing fungal resources. This study aimed to isolate and characterize fungal strains from the rice rhizosphere and assess their phosphate solubilization capabilities, plant-growth-promoting (PGP) traits, and mechanisms involved.

Objectives: For designing a suitable hydrogel, two crosslinked Alginate/ Carboxymethyl cellulose (Alg/CMC) hydrogel, using calcium chloride (Ca) and glutaraldehyde (GA) as crosslinking agents were synthesized and compared.

Materials And Methods: All samples were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Blood compatibility (BC), Blood clotting index (BCI), weight loss (WL), water absorption (WA), pH, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Cell viability and cell migration were investigated using the MTT assay and the wound scratch test, respectively.

Shaking it off: loss of NHE3-mediated calcium reabsorption is compensated by the distal nephron.

Kidney Int

February 2025

Department of Pediatrics, The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Electronic address:

Sodium reabsorption is tightly coupled to calcium reabsorption in the proximal tubule via the action of the Na/H exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3). Poulsen et al. provide evidence of reduced proximal calcium reabsorption in kidney tubule-specific NHE3-deficient mice that is compensated distally, unaltered phosphate homeostasis, and NHE3 involvement in the hypocalciuric effect of thiazides.

Introduction: This in vitro study assessed how shade changes induced by endodontic medicaments affect the transmission of single and multiples wavelengths of infrared light through enamel and dentin.

Methods: Eighteen extracted single-rooted permanent teeth were prepared, removing all extrinsic staining, and cementum. Tooth slices were treated for 4 weeks with UltraCal™ XS, Ledermix™, or were untreated controls.
