Phase equilibria in the system Na₃AlF₆-Al₂0₃- NaCaAlF₆
The NaCaAlF₆-Al₂O₃ and Na₃AlF₆-Al₂O₃-NaCaAlF₆ phase diagrams were determined using DTA, x-ray diffraction, quench analysis, and optical microscopy. The NaCaAlF₆-Al₂O₃ system was a simple eutectic system with the eutectic located below 0.5 weight percent NaCaAlF₆. The ternary system was a eutectic …

ROLE OF DNA DAMAGE RESPONSE IN LIVER REGENERATION AFTER APAP OVERDOSE INDUCED ALF
… is a leading cause of acute liver failure (ALF) with limited treatment options. The mechanisms of APAP-induced liver injury include formation of a reactive metabolite N-acetyl-p-quinoneimine (NAPQI) and it’s covalent binding to protein, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage and subsequent …

Impact of intestinal bacteria on the anatomy and physiology of the intestinal tract in the PRM/Alf mouse model
… longer intestine, that is characteristic of PRM/Alf mice compared to other mouse strains [2, 3]. Polyamines and SCFAs produced by gut bacteria are important growth factors, which possibly influence mucosal morphology, in particular villus length and crypt depth and play a role in gut lengthening …

Defining effective fiber content of dairy rations
… hulls (CSH), chopped orchardgrass (OG) or alfalfa (ALF) hays were added to corn silage-based rations to determine effects on dry matter intake (DMI), nitrogen balance (NB), rumen volatile fatty acids (VFA), and rumen fluid (RFD) and solids (RSD) dilution rates. DMI was highest for added …

Use of methionine sulfoximine to dissect the role of glutamine synthetase and glutamine in progression of acute liver failure
… response. </p> <p>To induce acute liver failure (ALF) in mice, animals were given intraperitoneal injections of E. coli lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and sugar D-galactosamine (D-GalN). When these animals were pretreated with MSO, 80% of the animals were completely rescued from liver failure. …

Bio-artificial liver support system : an evaluation of models used in demonstrating or improving metabolic and clinical efficacy
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare but devastating clinical syndrome with multiple causes and a variable course. The mortality rate is high. Orthotopic liver transplantation is the only therapy of proven survival benefit but the limited supply of donor organs, the rapidity of progression and the …

A retrospective review of acute liver failure in children admitted at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital
Acute liver failure (ALF) describes a clinical syndrome resulting from severe liver damage and extensive loss of functional parenchymal liver mass triggered by various factors. Early recognition and initiation of specific therapy may improve outcomes and reduce the need for liver transplantation, a …
