  • (20) In two exceptional patients with a prolonged PR interval, this apical sound was separated from a presystolic rumble that occurred during an accelerated phase of mitral inflow or at the A wave of mitral valve echograms.

Influx


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of flowing in; as, an influx of light.
  • (n.) A coming in; infusion; intromission; introduction; importation in abundance; also, that which flows or comes in; as, a great influx of goods into a country, or an influx of gold and silver.
  • (n.) Influence; power.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) At its vanguard is the historic quarter of Barriera di Milano, which is being transformed by an influx of artists and galleries.
  • (3) During both influx and efflux experiments the lenses of both groups released a small of proteins, but no difference found between the two groups.
  • (4) It is concluded that a Na-H antiport system in vascular smooth muscle regulates Na influx rate, contributes to intracellular pH regulation and influences basal levels of Na,K-pump activity.
  • (5) beta-Adrenergic blockade and Ca2+ antagonists markedly suppressed Ca2+ influx, phospholipase A2 activity, phospholipase C activity and cell death.
  • (6) Since the effects of T3 on thymocyte adenylate cyclase activity, cAMP concentration, and 2-DG uptake occur subsequent to these effects on calcium metabolism and require the presence of Ca2+ in the extracellular fluid, we suggest that an increase in [Ca2+]i, due at least partly to an influx of extracellular calcium, is the initiating event in these plasma membrane-mediated responses of the rat thymocyte to T3.
  • (7) These studies indicate that, in three models of acute liver injury, the net influx of calcium across the plasma membrane is increased early in the evolution of the injury before irreversible damage occurs.
  • (8) The same experimental conditions that favored a large component of Cao-activated Na efflux also caused a large increase in Ca influx.
  • (9) Intratracheal instillation of neutralizing concentrations of anti-TNF markedly reduced PMN influx measured at 4 hours but had no effect on PMN recruitment quantitated at 2 hours.
  • (10) This response seemed to be triggered mainly by the influx of Ca2+ through L-type Ca2+ channel activated by membrane depolarization, which was caused by the ATP-induced inward current.
  • (11) Addition of Ni2+ prior to TRH blunted the component of the TRH-induced transient increase in [Ca2+]i dependent on influx of Ca2+.
