Phosphatidylserine vesicles increase Ca2+ uptake by rat brain synaptosomes.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) vesicles incorporated into rat brain synaptosomes increased total Ca2+ uptake. Total Ca2+ uptake was resolved in three components: K+ depolarization-induced Ca2+ uptake, Na+/Ca2+ exchange, and passive Ca2+ entry, which were differently affected by PS depending on the amount of incorporated phospholipid. K+ depolarization-induced Ca2+ uptake was stimulated by 0.05-0.10 mumol PS/mg protein while 0.10-0.30 mumol PS/mg protein increased Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity and passive Ca2+ entry but not K+ depolarization-induced Ca2+ uptake. High amounts of incorporated PS also increased passive Rb+ uptake

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Inhibition of the Na+/Ca2+ exchange in cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles by amiloride.
The pyrazine diuretic amiloride inhibits the Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity of cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles in a concentration-dependent way. A good relationship between the uptake of amiloride by the vesicles and the inhibition of the exchanger has been found. Kinetic analyses indicate that the inhibition of Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity by amiloride is non-competitively removed by Ca2+ and competitively overcome by an outwardly directed Na+ gradient
