[Influence of various dialyzers on acid-base balance in hemodialysis].

Various dialyzers and acid-base balance in haemodialysis: 12 patients aged 32 to 52 years in periodic haemodialysis (4hx3) with residue diuresis absent, were examined during four trimestrial cycles with four different dialyzers (Nephross 16 F I60, Gambro Lundia Optima I3,5 micron, RP 5I0, Vita 2). The acid-base balance was examined 30 days after starting of each cycle. The results are reported and discussed.

[Erythrocyte protective synergism of ascorbic acid and alpha-mercaptopropionylglycine].

The antitoxic action of 1-ascorbic acid and alpha-mercaptopropionyl glycine was examined via the formation of Ehrlich-Heinz bodies in human venous red cells following in vitro intoxication with 100 mg/ml acetylphenylhydrazine. Marked synergism was noted, especially when small amounts of glucose were added. Both substances displayed a marked affinity for red cells and penetrated them on contact without an incubation period. Optimum amounts for maximum synergy were alpha-mercaptopropionyl glycine 0.01-0.02, 1-ascorbic acid 0.01-0.02 ml and glucose 40 mg per ml of blood. At this dose, appearance of Ehrlich bodies was appreciably retarded. In addition, changes in the size and quality of such bodies pointed to enhanced cell resistance to the poison used.
