The water-soluble quaternary ammonium salt of chitosan was synthesized by reaction of chitosan with glycidyl trimethylammonium chloride. It was characterized by Fourier transform infrared and carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectra. Its microbiostatic effects against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candid albicans were explored by microcalorimetry. The antimicrobial activity of the quaternized chitosan was stronger in alkaline condition than that in weak acidic condition.
The acidification response to NH4 Cl loading (0.1 g/kg bw/day) was tested in 16 normal healthy subjects in the basal fasting state on Day 4, the subjects having taken the salt daily for the 3 previous days. The response was measured in terms of blood pH and in urine, creatinine, phosphate, pH, titratable acidity, ammonium, net acidity and creatinine clearance. To minimise inter-subject variation the urine values were adjusted to a standard body surface area of 1.73 m2. A normal range for the blood pH of the mean value +/- 2 SD, encompassed the observed range of values. However, to fit the observed range of acid-base values in urine into the 2 SD range required a logarithmic transformation of the data. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant correlation between blood [H+] net acid secretion, urine titratable acidity and ammonium. Urine net acid secretion was positively correlated with urinary phosphate, titratable acidity and ammonium.

Using the 133Xe clearance method it is shown that NH4Cl infusion into the anterior mesenteric vein decreased capillary blood flow in the liver. Phentolamine completely and propranolol partially prevented the depressive action of NH4Cl on hepatic blood flow. NH5Cl infused into the jugular vein provoked a slight increase in the hepatic blood flow. The adrenaline-like action of ammonium ion on the blood circulation in the liver region is discussed.
An exceptionally mild acetoxyallylation of aldehydes in water promoted by zinc is reported, using 3-bromo-1-acetoxyprop-1-ene as starting material; simple diastereoselectivity mainly depends on the nature of the aldehyde.

Four experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of heat stress on acid-base status and the birds' response to supplemental KCl and KCO3. The corn-soybean meal fish-meal basal ration (.73% K+) contained more K+ and Cl- than is recommended by the National Academy of Sciences for chicks reared under near optimal conditions (24 C and 55% relative humidity). Chicks reared under continuous thermostress (35 C, 70% relative humidity) exhibited panting phase blood alkalosis (pH of 7.46). Supplementing drinking water with .2% NH4Cl reduced panting phase blood pH to normal values and increased live weight gain (23%) and feed efficiency (7.7%). Supplementing drinking water with .15% KCl also increased (P less than .05) live weight gain (46%) and feed efficiency (15.4%) but did not affect (P less than .46) blood pH. A significant (P less than .01) interaction existed between NH4Cl and KCl for body weight gain. Adding .2% NH4Cl to broiler drinking water reduced the level of KCl required in drinking water to optimize weight gain to .1% KCl. Potassium chloride alone, or with NH4Cl, can alleviate some consequences of heat stress, but supplementing drinking water with a high level of NH4Cl (.5%) decreased (P less than .05) blood pH to acidotic levels and reduced body weight gain. Potassium chloride supplementation exacerbated NH4Cl toxicity. Potassium carbonate reduced (P less than .05) body weight gain indicating that the response may not be attributed to K+ alone. Beneficial effects of NH4Cl therapy for heat stressed broilers are speculative.
Lysosomal enzymes of human skin fibroblasts sediment in a Percoll gradient with major peaks at 1.05 and 1.10 g cm-3. The distribution of enzyme activity between the two peaks is dependent on growth state of the cells. Sialidosis Type II fibroblasts show a normal distribution pattern. NH4Cl stimulates enzyme secretion and de novo enzyme synthesis.
Cell fusion induced by syn mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 is inhibited by NH4Cl. The inhibition of fusion is both rapid and rapidly reversible and apprears to be due to the NH4+ ion. Virus production was not significantly altered by NH4Cl, although cell growth was greatly diminished.
A series of 8 new derivatives of 2-alkoxyphenylcarbamoic acid were synthesized and assayed for local anesthetic activity. The above compounds were isolated as hydrochlorides and their structure was proved by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. The index of anesthetic activity of the compounds in infiltration and surface anesthesia increases with the length of the alkyl chain and, except for the C1-C3 congeners, all higher homologues proved to be significantly more active than the standard reference compounds, procaine and cocaine, respectively. Toxicity of the drugs decreases with increasing the chain length and is within acceptable limits.
Malfunction of the liver involves disturbances of urea synthesis and ammonia detoxification. These phenomena became apparent, especially during ammonia loading of patients. The functional state of the liver can be assessed by oral administration of 15NH4Cl and subsequent analysis of 15N-urea and 15N-ammonia in urine by emission spectrometry. Clinical tests based on the ratio of the excess abundances of 15N-ammonia to 15N-urea excreted in urine 3 h after oral administration gave values for patients with liver disease which differed significantly from those for healthy subjects. Absorption disturbances, which often accompany liver diseases, do not influence the effectiveness of the method.
