1. Salts of l-glutamate added to cerebral tissues maintained in glucose–saline–bicarbonate solutions cause the Na+ content of the tissues to increase rapidly and K+ to be lost. Entry of 22Na+ also is accelerated by l-glutamate and this acceleration is inhibited by low concentrations of tetrodotoxin. 2. Tissue Na+ content and its rate of increase after the addition of l-glutamate are affected by the Ca2+ of incubation media. 3. Very rapid and extensive entry of Na+ to the tissue is caused by EDTA, and a moderate entry by citrate and ATP. Calculations of the concentration of free Ca2+ in media after these additions indicate that Na+ entry is sometimes associated with low Ca2+ concentration, but that other substances, especially l-glutamate, act without greatly diminishing Ca2+ concentration. 4. Experiments with 2,4-dinitrophenol and valinomycin are also reported and aspects of the Na+ entry formulated and discussed.

Introduction: This study aimed to determine whether the degradation of ascorbic acid in aqueous solutions could be used to compare the filtration efficiency of various household water filter jugs.Materials and methods: Based on absorbance measurements of ascorbic acid, a new water quality coefficient (WQC) parameter was defined. Differences between the WQC were determined for 4 different water filters commonly used in household water filter jugs in Poland. In addition, correlations between the WQC, the amount of filtered water (AFW), and a number of other parameters were examined for all 4 filters.Conclusions: Significant differences were found in WQC among the 4 filters. A decreasing efficiency of calcium ion removal from the water was observed with the ongoing use of all 4 filter cartridges. Overall, this method could be a sensitive, simple, fast, eco-friendly, and relatively inexpensive tool for determining the effectiveness of water purification in household water filter jugs, which of course requires further research.

The root canal irrigants are of utmost importance in the soft tissue dissolving, the removal of microorganisms, hard-tissue debris, and smear layer. This study sets forth to investigate the stability and synergic interactions of different systems with various combinations among antimicrobial substances and chelating agents, frequently used in endodontics for the irrigation of the infected root canals through electrochemical evaluation, physicochemical and spectrophotometric analysis. The pharmaceutical products indicated as the antiseptic solutions (sodium hypochlorite - NaOCl, chlorhexidine - CHX) and chelating agents (EDTA, citric acid - CA) have large pH variations on the entire pH domain. The physicochemical parameters� (pH, conductivity) assessment at the CHX and CA solutions shown good stability in time and also electrochemical behaviour (OCP, CV). There is a dissociation of ions in aqueous medium and a competition of the chemical balances among the structures, as an intense electrochemical activity between the functional groups through the intensification of the anodic current currents, and a shift of the potential registered. This allows the formulation that chemical interactions are not always possible among diverse types of antimicrobial solutions and chelating agents for endodontic use.

We aim to present a case of obliterated root canal which was successfully treated in our dental faculty using these new techniques. Teeth with calcified root canals referred for endodontic treatment pose pa rticular diagnostic and treatment challenges. Usually these are intact traumatized anterior teeth without symptoms except of slight discoloration, without apical radiolucency. The thorough knowledge of endodontic anatomy and the use of modern equipment as the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and operating microscope are the basis for long term clinical and radiological success of these cases. The use of rotary endodontic instrumentation in conjunction with chelating agents as EDTA have been advocated for the endodontic instrumentation of narrow or obliterated root canals, where the apical dentin is usually more mineralized. CBCT images offered superior information in comparison to conventional radiographs but it must be taken into consideration only for difficult cases, due to higher radiation dose and costs.
