Abstract

A study of the dimensions of emotional intelligence (EI) and caring behaviors of nurses is presented. The findings show that nurses EI clarify a significant but unique variance of caring behaviors. The best predictors of this behavior are self-encouragement and self-control against criticisms while high empathy's impact depends on combinations with other EI dimensions.

The model is able to reproduce the salient features of the experimental results.

34. Ammonium Ion Effects on Hybridoma Cell Physiology

Author

McQueen, Anne T. and McQueen, Anne T.

Abstract

Ammonium ion is an important inhibitor of mammalian cell growth. Measurements of changes in hybridoma intracellular pH upon NH4Cl addition (using a flow cytometric assay in which cells are stained with a pH-sensitive fluorescent dye) indicate that NH+4 causes a steady-state cytoplasmic acidification. There is a correlation between NH4Cl effects on growth and on intracellular pH, and these effects are independent of the external pH value, suggesting that NH+4, not NH3 (produced by the dissociation of NH+4 at higher external pH values), is the species responsible for growth inhibition. Ammonium ion has similar effects on batch growth in flasks in an incubator and in a bioreactor at controlled pH and dissolved oxygen concentration. Both decreases in the external pH value and increases in the NH4Cl concentration inhibit glucose consumption in batch growth. This is hypothesized to be due to intracellular pH decreases. However, cell growth is not dependent on glucose consumption. Changes in the external pH value and in the NH4Cl concentration, which result in growth inhibition, have no effect on the specific antibody production rate. A mechanism is proposed and a mathematical model is developed to explain the intracellular pH decreases caused by NH+4. This model incorporates a detailed description of the behavior of the Na+/H+-exchanger, which is assumed to be the main pHi controller of the cell. The model is able to reproduce the salient features of the experimental results.
