Primary Active Transport01:47

Primary Active Transport

201.0K
In contrast to passive transport, active transport involves a substance being moved through membranes in a direction against its concentration or electrochemical gradient. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport and secondary active transport. Primary active transport utilizes chemical energy from ATP to drive protein pumps that are embedded in the cell membrane. With energy from ATP, the pumps transport ions against their electrochemical gradients—a direction...

Primary and Secondary Growth in Roots and Shoots

60.7K
Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

Primary Production01:06

Primary Production

25.5K
The total amount of energy acquired by primary producers in an ecosystem is called gross primary production (GPP). However, of this energy, producers use some for metabolic processes, and some is lost as heat, decreasing the amount of energy available to the next trophic level. The remaining usable amount of energy is called the net primary productivity (NPP). In terrestrial ecosystems, NPP is driven by climate, while light penetration and nutrient availability drive NPP in aquatic ecosystems.

Primary Distribution01:28

Primary Distribution

556
Primary distribution systems deliver electrical power from substations to consumers through various voltage classes, with 15-kV class voltages being predominant among U.S. utilities. Older 2.5- and 5-kV classes are being replaced by 15-kV primaries, while higher 25- to 34.5-kV classes are used in high-density urban areas and rural regions with long feeders. Three-phase, four-wire multigrounded systems are widely employed for balanced power delivery, using the neutral wire as a grounding point.

Nomenclature of Primary Amines01:17

Nomenclature of Primary Amines

4.6K
Primary, secondary, and tertiary amines are compounds consisting of one, two, and three alkyl groups connected to the amino group (–NH2), respectively. As depicted in Figure 1, the common name of the primary amines is obtained by adding the suffix -amine to the alkyl substituent attached to the amino group as the corresponding alkylamine.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Autoimmune Diseases
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease.
  • It predominantly affects women and is characterized by bile duct inflammation, potentially leading to cirrhosis.
  • Many patients are asymptomatic, diagnosed incidentally via elevated alkaline phosphatase.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the key aspects of primary biliary cholangitis.
  • To highlight diagnostic criteria and treatment options for PBC.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical characteristics, pathogenesis, diagnostic markers, and treatment strategies for PBC.
  • Focus on antibody profiles (M2-type antimitochondrial, anti-gp210, anti-Sp100) and biochemical cholestasis.
  • Evaluation of treatment efficacy for ursodeoxycholic acid and combination therapies.

Main Results:

  • PBC is characterized by inflammation of small/medium bile ducts, often diagnosed by elevated alkaline phosphatase.
  • Specific autoantibodies (M2-type antimitochondrial, anti-gp210, anti-Sp100) and cholestasis confirm diagnosis, negating the need for liver biopsy.
  • Ursodeoxycholic acid is effective in over 60% of patients; fibrates and obeticholic acid can be used as adjuncts for persistent cholestasis.

Conclusions:

  • Diagnosis of PBC is achievable through serological markers and biochemical evidence of cholestasis.
  • Ursodeoxycholic acid remains the cornerstone treatment, with emerging options for refractory cases.
  • Understanding PBC pathogenesis and optimizing treatment are crucial for managing this autoimmune liver condition.
