Reduction in nutrient loss during dialysis cultivation of Escherichia coli on a glycerol medium was investigated. A dialysis reactor with an inner fermentation and an outer dialysis chamber was used. Aerobic condition was maintained by limiting the glycerol feed rate to an optimum value which was estimated from the oxygen requirements for glycerol oxidation and oxygen transfer capacity of the reactor. High reduction in nutrient loss was achieved by using water as the dialyzing fluid. However, osmotic movement of water from the dialysis to the fermentation chamber was observed, and the final cell concentration was low. With a nutrient-split feeding strategy (feeding glycerol directly to the fermentation chamber and dialyzing with salt solution), glycerol loss was small, there was no osmotic flux of water to the fermentation chamber, and the cell concentration was high. Both glycerol and salt loss could be avoided, and a cell concentration of 170 g/L was obtained when the dialysis process was substituted by addition of XAD adsorbents to the dialysis chamber. Application of this nutrient-split feeding strategy to cell cultivation in a stirred tank reactor, coupled with dialysis in external dialyzer modules, resulted in low cell concentrations.

Desalting of nucleic acids by the drop dialysis method is limited by the fact that only small volume samples can be used due to the lack of sample containment on the membrane filters. A specially modified Styrafoam cup can be used as a membrane filter holder which serves to contain the sample, thus permitting dialysis of larger sample volumes. 相似文献

Rate dialysis is used to obtain the free steroid fraction in undiluted plasma at 37°C. The free steroid fraction is determined from the rate at which a small amount of tritiated steroid diffuses from plasma on one side of a semipermeable membrane into an identical plasma sample on the other side which lacks radioactive steroid. The method may be generally applicable to steroids since the cell permeability constant, which is a function of the volume of the dialysis cell and the area and diffusion properties of the membrane, was similar for seven steroids tested. The method requires only 0.3 ml of plasma, is simple and economical to perform, and enables up to 120 determinations to be made in one day. The free fractions of cortisol, progesterone, and estradiol-17β were measured in plasma pooled from pregnant and non-pregnant women and pregnant and lactating sows. The results were compared with those obtained for the same plasma pools by centrifugal ultrafiltration. 相似文献

A variant of the whole-cell patch clamp technique is described which allows measurement of whole-cell ionic currents in small cells while minimizing cell dialysis with the pipette solution. The technique involves the application of negative pressure to the inside of small (less than 1 micron) tip diameter pipettes placed on the cell surface to achieve high resistance seals and membrane rupture. The technique has been used successfully in a variety of different types of cells to study membrane currents carried by Ca and K, currents generated by exchange carriers as well as electrical coupling between cells. Overall, the technique seems well suited for the study of ionic currents in small cells, and provides an alternative to conventional patch clamping techniques which necessitate intracellular dialysis. 相似文献

A dialysis cell for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic measurement of protein-small molecule binding 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A dialysis cell is described for use in an NMR spectrometer, to make spectroscopic determinations of protein-small molecule binding. The protein solution is contained within a cylindrical dialysis tube which is concentrically suspended in an NMR tube containing a protein-free dialysis buffer. Simultaneous determinations of the equilibrium transmembrane distribution of the small molecule and the chemical shifts in both compartments are made spectroscopically, providing estimates of the dissociation constant and the chemical shift of the bound species. The cell is used for 31P NMR spectroscopic measurement of the degree of binding of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate to hemoglobin in a 2.8 mM carboxyhemoglobin solution at pH 6.9 and 21 degrees C. The Kd is found to be 2.4 x 10(-3) M. 相似文献

Conventional methods for dialyzing numerous samples are either expensive or tedious and inefficient. These disadvantages were overcome through the construction and use of a Plexiglas dialysis sample holder (DSH). Large numbers of dialysis samples having 0.5 to 2.0-ml volumes may be attached to numbered positions on the DSH. Sample identification is greatly simplified and considerable savings in time and material are achieved. Furthermore, the risk of sample spill or mixing during filling or emptying of dialysis sacks, and the risk of leaks in dialysis tubing, are minimized. 相似文献

Problems related to interaction of drugs with the dialysis membrane and to protein binding must be overcome in order to develop automated methods for drug analysis based on on-line dialysis, trace enrichment and HPLC. In order to study these problems, clozapine and its active metabolite N-desmethylclozapine were chosen as model compounds because they were found to interact with the dialysis membrane, and clozapine is highly protein bound. Addition of a cationic surfactant, dodecylethyldimethyl ammonium bromide, to the donor solution and to the plasma samples was found to inhibit interaction of the drugs with surfaces. The protein binding in plasma was disrupted prior to dialysis by lowering the pH with hydrochloric acid and the plasma proteins were solubilised with glycerol. The results obtained were used to develop a fully automated method for the determination of clozapine and N-desmethylclozapine in human plasma. More than 100 samples could be analysed within 24 h. The limit of detection in human plasma was 0.050 μmol/1 for clozapine and 0.055 μmol/1 for N-desmethylclozapine. Linearity was found for drug concentrations between 0.25–3 μmol/1. The relative standard deviations were between 1.2–6.7% and the method was applicable for therapeutic drug monitoring. 相似文献

Speciation of carrier-free109Cd, added in cationic form to prefiltered extracts obtained by leaching forest soil samples with distilled water, was analyzed
using electrophoresis, dialysis, centrifugation, and ultrafiltration. Rapid establishment of isotopic equilibrium between
the added109Cd and stable cadmium present in the extracts was observed. All the data obtained indicated that109Cd and also stable cadmium were present in the analyzed extracts in the form of neutral or negatively charged organic complexes
or small colloids. The results of electrophoresis enabled the characterization, at least semiquantitative, of the abundance
and electrophoretic mobility of the forms present. The incomplete dialysis of109Cd from the soil extracts through cellophane membrane against water proved the presence of organic associates with molecular
weights higher than 104. Dialysis against the same, but unlabeled extract was always complete, indicating the reversible (labile) nature of the organic
forms of cadmium. Assessment of the stability constants of the organic forms using a simple discrete two-site model suggested
that humate and/or fulvate complexes of cadmium were formed. 相似文献

We have studied the effect of intraperitoneal nitroprusside on small (urea) and middle (vitamin B12) molecule dialysis clearances in patients maintained on chronic peritoneal dialysis. Clearances were measured in six patients during the addition of 6 mg of nitroprusside to three and seven consecutive, hourly two-liter exchanges during the course of a routine dialysis treatment. Results indicate that clearances of urea and B12 both increased about 35 percent with the addition of the vasodilator for three exchanges. Clearances immediately returned to baseline values when administration of the vasodilator was discontinued. Addition of the drug to seven consecutive exchanges resulted in a sustained 35 percent increment in clearances. We conclude that addition of 6 mg of nitroprusside to peritoneal dialysis solution can result in a significant increment in both small and middle molecule clearances. Maintenance of the higher clearances requires sustained administration of the drug, which can be tolerated for at least six exchanges with no adverse side effects. 相似文献

A multichamber equilibrium dialysis apparatus 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
A method for inexpensively producing large quantities of equilibrium dialysis cells as well as two types of cell rotators is described. The method of production is simple enough that several hundred chambers can be produced in a single day. The assay procedure is flexible enough that any number of assays from one to several hundred may be completed in a short time. The chambers have proved extremely useful in the isolation and kinetic characterization of proteins which appear to be associated with membrane transport systems. They will also suffice for any of the other many uses for equilibrium dialysis. The large number of chambers available also provides an ideal means for determining the proper conditions for the growth of protein crystals by dialysis against the crystallizing agent. Microgram quantities of protein are easily crystallized by this technique. 相似文献

Personal experience shows that subjective and objective improvements can be achieved in chronic renal failure treated with dialysis. These aims were achieved by limiting energy intake to 8 MJ a day and by substituting cassava for bread and potatoes, thereby reducing the intake of protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. Water soluble vitamins were added to the diet. With this regimen blood urea concentrations vary between 2.5 and 12 mmol/l for most of the week and the packed cell volume between 0.30 and 0.37. 相似文献

Culture medium exchange leads to loss of valuable auto- and paracrine factors produced by the cells. However, frequent renewal of culture medium is necessary for nutrient supply and to prevent waste product accumulation. Thus it remains the gold standard in cell culture applications. The use of dialysis as a medium refreshment method could provide a solution as low molecular weight molecules such as nutrients and waste products could easily be exchanged, while high molecular weight components such as growth factors, used in cell interactions, could be maintained in the cell culture compartment. This study investigates a dialysis culture approach for an in vitro bone remodeling model. In this model, both the differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) into osteoblasts and monocytes (MCs) into osteoclasts is studied. A custom-made simple dialysis culture system with a commercially available cellulose dialysis insert was developed. The data reported here revealed increased osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity in the dialysis groups compared to the standard nondialysis groups, mainly shown by significantly higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity, respectively. This simple culture system has the potential to create a more efficient microenvironment allowing for cell interactions via secreted factors in mono- and cocultures and could be applied for many other tissues. 相似文献

INAA was used to determine selected trace elements—Ca, Al, P, and S—in 104 cleaned scalp hair samples from kidney dialysis
patients (n=54) and healthy controls (n=50) in order to explore any differences in these elements that might be related to prolonged dialysis and/or associated medication
in comparison with blood serum levels of Al and P measured in the same clinic at the time of hair sampling. After correction
for P (and Si) interference in Al content, it was observed that there were no significant differences (at 95% confidence level)
in hair Al and Ca, which had been expected, whereas while there were definite increases in P and S. Multivariant factor analysis
applied to the same data set, however, showed some multiple correlations among four variables: serum Al, duration of dialysis,
medication, and hair Al. 相似文献

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a well established method of depuration in uremic patients. Standard dialysis solutions currently in use are not biocompatible with the peritoneal membrane. Studying effects of dialysate on peritoneal membrane in humans is still a challenge. There is no consensus on the ideal experimental model so far. We, therefore, wanted to develop a new experimental non-uremic rabbit model of peritoneal dialysis, which would be practical, easy to conduct, not too costly, and convenient to investigate the long-term effect of dialysis fluids. The study was done on 17 healthy Chinchilla male and female rabbits, anesthetized with Thiopental in a dose of 0.5 mg/kg body mass. A catheter, specially made from Tro-soluset (Troge Medical GMBH, Hamburg, Germany) infusion system, was then surgically inserted and tunneled from animals' abdomen to their neck. The planned experimental procedure was 4 weeks of peritoneal dialysate instillation. The presented non-uremic rabbit model of peritoneal dialysis is relatively inexpensive, does not require sophisticated technology and was well tolerated by the animals. Complications such as peritonitis, dialysis fluid leakage, constipation and catheter obstruction were negligible. This model is reproducible and can be used to analyze the effects of different dialysis solutions on the rabbit peritoneal membrane. 相似文献

Two patients with Parkinson''s disease and renal insufficiency had excessively high concentrations of amantadine hydrochloride in the blood. The amounts of the drug removed by hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis were small. However, since extrarenal elimination is negligible in such patients, frequently repeated dialysis may be required to remove the drug. 相似文献

High-throughput protein production systems have become an important issue, because protein production is one of the bottleneck steps in large-scale structural and functional analyses of proteins. We have developed a dialysis reactor and a fully automated system for protein production using the dialysis cell-free synthesis method, which we previously established to produce protein samples on a milligram scale in a high-throughput manner. The dialysis reactor was designed to be suitable for an automated system and has six dialysis cups attached to a flat dialysis membrane. The automated system is based on a Tecan Freedom EVO 200 workstation in a three-arm configuration, and is equipped with shaking incubators, a vacuum module, a robotic centrifuge, a plate heat sealer, and a custom-made tilting carrier for collection of reaction solutions from the flat-bottom cups with dialysis membranes. The consecutive process, from the dialysis cell-free protein synthesis to the partial purification by immobilized metal affinity chromatography on a 96-well filtration plate, was performed within ca. 14 h, including 8 h of cell-free protein synthesis. The proteins were eluted stepwise in a high concentration using EDTA by centrifugation, while the resin in the filtration plate was washed on the vacuum manifold. The system was validated to be able to simultaneously and automatically produce up to 96 proteins in yields of several milligrams with high well-to-well reliability, sufficient for structural and functional analyses of proteins. The protein samples produced by the automated system have been utilized for NMR screening to judge the protein foldedness and for structure determinations using heteronuclear multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The automated high-throughput protein production system represents an important breakthrough in the structural and functional studies of proteins and has already contributed a massive amount of results in the structural genomics project at the RIKEN Structural Genomics/Proteomics Initiative (RSGI). 相似文献

In order to investigate the prevalence of GB virus C (GBV-C)/hepatitis G virus (HGV) infection in dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients in Central Brazil and also to analyze the virus genotypes distribution, a total of 123 patients including 98 on hemodialysis, 13 on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis treatment, and 12 who received kidney transplantation were interviewed in one unit of dialysis treatment in Goiania city. Blood samples were collected and serum samples tested for GBV-C/HGV RNA by polymerase chain reaction. Genotypes were determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Eighteen samples were GBV-C/HGV RNA-positive, resulting in an overall prevalence of 14.6% (95% CI: 9.2-21.7). A high positivity for GBV-C/HGV RNA was observed in patients who had received kidney transplant (16.7%), followed by those on hemodialysis (15.3%), and peritoneal dialysis (7.7%). RFLP analysis revealed the presence of genotypes 1, 2, and 3 of GBV-C/HGV; more precisely, 9 (50%) samples were found belonging to the 2b subtype, 4 (22%) to the 2a subtype, 3 (17%) to genotype 1, and 2 (11%) to genotype 3. The present data indicate an intermediate prevalence of GBV-C/HGV infection among dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients in Central Brazil. Genotype 2 (subtype 2b) seems to be the most prevalent GBV-C/HGV genotype in our region. 相似文献
