The concept of reuse of hypertonic solution was also demonstrated.
The present study aims to determine the basic mechanism of hypertonic solution on airway epithelial barrier.
Administration of a small volume of hypertonic solution has been used as an effective treatment for patients with intradialytic hypotension.
To test the hypothesis that the infusion of hypertonic solution would decrease extravascular lung water postoperatively and thus improve pulmonary function.
Unlike the small intestine, the stomach does not alter the osmolality of food contents, and as a result the esophagus is exposed to high osmolality when gastric contents reflux into the esophagus.73 Lloyd and Borda74 reported inducing pain through the infusion of a moderately hypertonic solution (630 mOsm/kg) into the esophagus in 82% of patients who had a positive Bernstein test.
Furthermore, both cell types exhibited some hypertonic damage that was not apparent while the cells were in hypertonic solution and only manifested once the cells were brought back to isotonic conditions.
In the first phase, five different treatments were examined: 1) 1% SDS, 2) 2% SDS, 3) 2% Tributyl Phosphate, 4) 2% Triton X-100, and 5) Hypotonic followed by hypertonic solution.
The tensile behavior of bovine corneal samples was measured in six different bathing solutions, i.e. hypertonic solution (12% NaCl solution), common preserving isotonic solutions (e.g. phosphate buffer saline, ophthalmic balanced salt solution, and 0.9% NaCl solution), hypotonic solution (distilled water), and neutral solution (mineral oil).
Vaccination of common carp by direct immersion (DI) or hyperosmotic immersion (HI; direct immersion, preceded by a brief immersion in a hypertonic solution) greatly enhanced the uptake of soluble, but not particulate antigen through temporary disruption of the integrity of the epithelia of gills and skin.
Experimental data showed that the hypertonic solution was more effective than ECA for improving interstitial penetration of dextran with molecular weights ranging from 4000 to 2,000,000.
To that end, the current study was proposed to improve the transport through enlargement of extracellular space by treating tumors with hypertonic solution of mannitol and cytotoxic agents (e.g., ethacrynic acid [ECA]), which could effectively shrink and kill cells, respectively.
