Two groups each of four Merino wethers, two years old and in very lean condition after many weeks on a straw ration, were fattened on a ration of lucerne hay. One group of animals drank 1.3 per cent sodium chloride solution for 16 weeks before and during fattening while the control group drank tap water throughout. Analyses done after body weight increases of about 12 kg showed that, compared to the controls, the saline drinking group had significantly less fat, more water, and more protein in the edible carcase. All differences were significant. Samples of fat from the omentum and perirenal area showed a tendency towards a higher degree of unsaturation in the saline-drinking animals although these results were not statistically significant.

Fly ash (FA) has been an important ingredient for engineered cementitious composite (ECC) with excellent tensile strain capacity and multiple cracking. Unfortunately, the frost resistance of ECC with high-volume FA has always been a problem. This paper discusses the influence of silica fume (SF) and ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) on the frost resistance of ECC with high volume of FA. Four ECC mixtures, ECC (50% FA), ECC (70% FA), ECC (30% FA + 40% SL), and ECC (65% FA + 5% SF), are evaluated by freezing-thawing cycles up to 200 cycles in tap water and sodium chloride solution. The result shows the relative dynamic elastic modulus and mass loss of ECC in sodium chloride solution by freeze-thaw cycles are larger than those in tap water by freeze-thaw cycles. Moreover, the relative dynamic elastic modulus and mass loss of ECC by freeze-thaw cycles increase with FA content increasing. However, the ECC (30% FA + 40% SL) shows a lower relative dynamic elastic modulus and mass loss, but its deflection upon four-point bending test is relatively smaller before and after freeze-thaw cycles. By contrast, the ECC (65% FA + 5% SF) exhibits a significant deflection increase with higher first cracking load, and the toughness increases sharply after freeze-thaw cycles, meaning ECC has good toughness property.

Chemical changes are reported occurring in the blood of animals with obstruction of the jejunum, in which distilled water or sodium chloride solutions were introduced directly into the lumen of the intestine below the point of obstruction. Distilled water given daily from the beginning of the obstruction, had no influence on the development or course of the toxemia. 1 and 2 per cent salt solutions prevented a toxemia in uncomplicated cases. One animal so treated lived 30 days. Distilled water, given after the onset of toxemia, did not alter the progress or outcome of the toxemia. 10 per cent sodium chloride solution, administered after the onset of toxemia, controlled it in most cases for a long period. Hydrochloric acid had no effect on the course of the toxemia.

In our study we carried out an exploratory assessment of the antitumor activity of hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion (Hipep) with 0.9 % sodium chloride solution and compared it with the effect of a single normothermic intraperitoneal (i.p.) Administration of cisplatin in the maximum tolerated dose (mtd). Thirty-six mature female Wistar rats with transplanted i.p. Syngeneic ovarian carcinoma were randomized into three groups: control group (2 ml of 0.9 % sodium chloride i.p. At room temperature, n=12); cisplatin group (cisplatin 4 mg/kg i.p. At room temperature, n=12); Hipep group (open i.p. Perfusion with 0.9 % sodium chloride solution at a temperature of 40,5–41,5 °c for 45 minutes, n=12). The primary endpoint was the overall survival (os) of the animals in each of the three groups. The total peritoneal cancer index (pci), weight and degree of ascites haemorrhagia were assessed at autopsy. The median os in the control group, Hipep, and cisplatin was 19, 39, and 40 days, respectively (log-rank test р<0.0001). In comparison to the control group, the differences were statistically significant for both cisplatin (HR=0.22; 95 % ci: 0.08–0.62; log-rank test р<0.0001) and Hipep (HR=0.32; 95 % ci 0.13–0.82; log-rank test р=0.0013). There were no differences in os between the cisplatin and Hipep groups (log-rank test р=0.4853). The Hipep procedure was associated with a significant decrease in total pci, a tendency towards a decrease in the ascites weight and a higher severity of haemorrhagia. In terms of os, local hyperthermia, provided by Hipep without a cytostatic drug, was comparable with single normothermic i.p. Administration of cisplatin in mtd and exceeded the effects of the latter in relation to the development of peritoneal carcinomatosis.

It is now well established that cobalt was the primary etiologic agent in the “Beer Drinkers” cardiomyopathy which assumed epidemic proportions in recent years. The authors previously reported certain significant ultrastructural alterations in the liver and heart of cobalt treated rabbits. The present report confirms as well as extends the earlier findings on this subject.Ten rabbits were administered subcutaneously with a daily dose of 2.5 to 25 mg/kg of cobaltous chloride for 11-13 days. The control group of six rabbits received an equivalent dose of 2. 2% sodium chloride solution. The treated rabbits lost about 20% of their body weight and on sacrificing revealed flabby hearts, frequently with pericardial edema.

The marine clays located in the Southeast area of China are characterized by their higher water content, higher compressibility and higher salinities. This soil is mainly composed of illite/montmorillonite interlayer minerals. Previous research has shown that the saline water significantly influences the liquid limit and other physical characteristics of the clays. As the desalination of pore water occurs as a result of freshwater or rainfalls, the physical and mechanical behaviors of the soft marine clays changes, and this can lead to potential hazards for infrastructure. Therefore, it is essential to understand the effects of chemistry variations and to predict the long-term foundation deformations. Based on previous works, the deformation behavior of artificial soils corresponding to a mixture of kaolinite and bentonite (the mass ratios of bentonite were 0%, 5%, 10% and 20%) was further discussed in a ln(1 + e)-logp’ system. The permeabilities of the samples mixed with different concentrations of sodium chloride solutions were compared based on oedometer tests. The micro-structures in the samples were investigated by SEM (scanning electronic microscopy) tests. The declining trend of a newly defined volume compression index Ccv and swelling index Csv with pore water salinity and e0/eL was observed when the initial void ratios e0 of the samples were close. The permeability coefficient k and the slopes Ck = e/logk of the mixtures increased with the ionic concentrations. Finally, the changes in volume deformations and permeabilities induced by sodium chloride solution are discussed based on ‘suction pressure’ and initial void compression at micro-level. This paper proves that the influences of salinity on the mechanical behavior of clays are mainly attributable to the interaction between diffused double layers, and these findings are helpful for improving the constitutive model of soft clays when taking pore water chemistry changes into consideration.

INTRODUCTION Bleedings after endoscopic removal of gastric polyps continue to be a relevant issue. A technique has been developed for infltrating the base of polyps with a new hemostatic agent Hemoblock to prevent bleedings during polypectomy. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of this technique.MATERIALS AND METHODS We present the results of the use of Hemoblock in 63 patients with 129 removed polyps. The results were compared with data in the control group, where 267 polyps were removed in 142 patients. In the control group, 0.9% sodium chloride solution, 5% aminocaproic acid solution were used for submucosa injection. We also compared the effectiveness of endoscopic hemostasis for bleeding that occurred after the removal of polyps in both groups. In the main group, hemostasis was performed by irrigation and puncturing using Hemoblock. In the control group the injection method (0.9% sodium chloride solution, 5% aminocaproic acid solution) and electrocoagulation were performed.RESULTS The study showed that the use of Hemoblock during endoscopic removal of polyps for infltration of their base provided a more effective prevention of bleeding, and with the development of bleeding from a thermal defect after polypectomy, the use of irrigation/puncturing of the same drug provides reliable hemostasis.CONCLUSION The use of hemostatic agent Hemoblock in the endoscopic removal of gastric polyps provides prevention of bleeding and radical intervention. With the development of bleeding after polypectomy, irrigation/puncturing hemostatic agent Hemoblock allows to achieve reliable hemostasis.
