The clinical significance of phasic duodenal intubation and ultrasonic monitoring of the gallbladder in healthy subjects

Hypoxic and low-temperature effects on the thermal regulation and the content of catecholamines (epinephrine--E and norepinephrine--NE) in mice have been compared. Continuous and repeated hypoxia brought about a significant drop of the rodent body temperature and heat content. Found was a significant elevation of catecholamines in the pituitary and adrenal tissues, and blood plasma with E prevalence after the continuous exposure. Repeated stimulus resulted in a more pronounced effect. Exception was the adrenal tissue where enhanced E and NE secretion into blood was noted. The uninterrupted and repeated cold conditions were also responsible for heat release. Continuous exposure to low temperature increased NE and decreased insignificantly E in blood and adrenal. Multiple stimulation increased sharply catecholamines concentration in blood plasma with the dominance of epinephrine in the pituitary gland, and norepinephrine in the adrenal.     

The liquid phase removal of no and H2S pollutants using membrane separation of the homogeneous catalyst

Using the liquid phase reaction 2NO + H₂S + 2O₂ 2HNO₃ +S in the presence of heteropolyanion catalyst PW₁₁Fe¹¹(H₂O)O^5– ₃₉, the potentialities of the membrane method in separation of a homogeneous catalyst from a soluble reaction product have been demonstrated. The use of membranes for this purpose is expected to give a further impact for the search of industrial processes based on homogeneous catalysis.
