Analysis of changes in sodium and chloride ion transport in the skin.

ABSTRACT: The measurement of electric potential and resistance reflect the transport of sodium and chloride ions which take place in keratinocytes and is associated with skin response to stimuli arising from external and internal environment. The aim of the study was to assess changes in electrical resistance and the transport of chloride and sodium ions, under iso-osmotic conditions and following the use of inhibitors affecting these ions' transport, namely amiloride (A) and bumetanide (B). The experiment was performed on 104 fragments of rabbit skin, divided into three groups: control (n?=?35), A-inhibited sodium transport (n?=?33) and B-inhibited chloride transport (n?=?36). Measurement of electrical resistance (R) and electrical potential (PD) confirmed tissue viability during the experiment, no statistically significant differences in relation to control conditions were noted. The minimal and maximal PD measured during stimulation confirmed the repeatability of the recorded reactions to the mechanical and mechanical-chemical stimulus for all examined groups. Measurement of PD during stimulation showed differences in the transport of sodium and chloride ions in each of the analyzed groups relative to the control. The statistical analysis of the PD measured in stationary conditions and during mechanical and/or mechanical-chemical stimulation proved that changes in sodium and chloride ion transport constitute the physiological response of keratinocytes to changes in environmental conditions for all applied experimental conditions. Assessment of transdermal ion transport changes may be a useful tool for assessing the skin condition with tendency to pain hyperactivity and hypersensitivity to xenobiotics.

Project description:ObjectivesDerangements of chloride ion concentration ([Cl-]) have been shown to be associated with acute kidney injury and other adverse outcomes. For a physicochemical approach, however, chloride ion concentration should be considered with sodium ion concentration. This study aimed to examine the association of chloride ion concentration and the main strong ion difference (difference between sodium ion concentration and chloride ion concentration) during the first 24 hours after admission into ICU with the development of acute kidney injury and mortality.DesignRetrospective analyses using the eICU Collaborative Research Database.SettingICUs in 208 hospitals across the United States between 2014 and 2015.PatientsCritically ill patients who were admitted into the ICU.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsA total of 34,801 patients records were analyzed. A multivariable logistic regression analysis for the development of acute kidney injury within 7 days of ICU admission shows that, compared with main strong iron difference 32-34 mEq/as a reference, there were significantly high odds for the development of acute kidney injury in nearly all groups with main strong iron difference more than 34 mEq/L (main strong iron difference = 34-36 mEq/L, odds ratio = 1.17, p = 0.02; main strong iron difference = 38-40 mEq/L, odds ratio = 1.40, p < 0.001; main strong iron difference = 40-42 mEq/L, odds ratio = 1.46, p = 0.001; main strong iron difference > 42 mEq/L, odds ratio = 1.56, p < 0.001). With chloride ion concentration 104-106 mEq/L as a reference, the odds for acute kidney injury were significantly higher only in chloride ion concentration less than or equal to 94 mEq/L and chloride ion concentration 98-100 mEq/L groups. Analyses conducted using inverse probability weighting showed significantly greater odds for ICU mortality in all groups with main strong iron difference greater than 34mEq/L other than the 36-38mEq/L group, as well as in the less than 26-mEq/L group.ConclusionsMain strong iron difference measured on ICU presentation to the ICU predicts acute kidney injury within 7 days, with low and, in particular, high values representing increased risk. The association between the chloride levels and acute kidney injury is statistically insignificant in models incorporating main strong iron difference, suggesting main strong iron difference is a better predictive marker than chloride on ICU admission.
