Der radiale Wasserfluss durch die feinen Seitenwurzeln von Schilf- und Mais ist vom radialen Teilchenfluss entkoppelt. Der radiale Wasserfluss wird bereits im Kortex der Wurzel durch den Protoplasten kontrolliert, da die Strömung auf dem apoplastischen Zellwandweg um die Protoplasten herum gegenüber der Strömung durch die Protoplasten nicht signifikant ist. Der radiale Reflexionskoeffizient der Wurzeln wird durch den Reflexionskoeffizient der Plasmamembran bestimmt. Die Feinwurzeln von Schilf- und Mais besitzen einen Reflexionskoeffizienten für Salze, Zucker, Zuckeralkohole und Polymere der sich nicht signifikant von eins unterscheidet. An intakten Wurzeln wurde dies durch die Abwesenheit von solvent drag für NaCl und Mannitol bei der Steigerung des Wasserflusses und der gleich großen hydraulischen Wirkung von osmotischen und hydrostatischen Kräften auf die Exsudation nachgewiesen. Die radialen Wände der Endodermis von Schilf- und Maiswurzeln sind keine perfekte Diffusionsbarriere. Liegen die genannten Stoffe in einer signifikanten Konzentration in der Zellwand vor permeieren sie passiv unter Umgehung der Protoplasten durch die Endodermis in die Xylemgefäße. Auch die Epidermis/Hypodermis der untersuchten Wurzeln hat die Eigenschaft einer semipermeablen Membran in der osmotische Druckgradienten einen Volumenfluss erzeugen. Es wurden zwei Methoden etabliert, mit denen sich der osmotische Druck des Xylemsaftes in isolierten Feinwurzeln bestimmen lässt. Die Feinwurzeln unterschieden sich hinsichtlich des osmotischen Druckes ihres Xylemsaftes und ihrer radialen hydraulischen Leitfähigkeit stark. Die bekannte Fähigkeit der Schilfpflanzen Natriumionen an der Sprossbasis aus dem Xylem zu eliminieren muss um Chloridionen erweitert werden. Die hohe Permeabilität der Endodermis für NaCl verringert die osmotische Wirkung des Brackwassers auf die Wasseraufnahme. Die Entkopplung der Salzaufnahme vom Wasserfluss vermeidet eine exzessive Salzbelastung des Sprosses. / Radial Water fluxes are not coupled to the radial solute fluxes in fine lateral roots of mays and reed. The radial water flow is already controlled by the protoplast in the cortical parenchyma as the hydraulic conductivity of the cell wall path circumventing the protoplasts is negligible compared to hydraulic conductivity of the pathway through the protoplast. The radial reflection coefficient of the root is defined by the reflection coefficient of the plasma membrane. Therefore fine laterals of the common reed (Phragmites australis) and maize (Zea mays) therefore exhibit a reflection coefficient for salts, sugars, alditols and polymers that is not significantly different from unity. This conclusion was drawn from the absence of solvent drag for NaCl and mannitol with increasing water flux and by the observation of equality of the hydraulic effect of both osmotic and hydrostatic forces on the exudation flow in intact roots of both plants. The radial walls of the endodermis are no absolute barrier for diffusion of small osmolytes. In the presence of high cell wall concentrations, the abovementioned osmolytes passively permeated into the xylem vessels at high rates circumventing the protoplast. The epidermis/hypodermis exhibits a semipermeable barrier as well wherein osmotic forces can create a radial volume flux. Two methods were established that allow for the determination of the flow direction and the osmotic pressure of the xylem sap in isolated fine laterals. Laterals differed strongly regarding their hydraulic conductivity and the osmotic pressure of their xylem sap. The known ability of the reed plant to remove sodium ions from the ascending sap has to be expanded for chloride. The high permeability of the endodermis for NaCl reduces the osmotic force of the brackish medium on water uptake. Uncoupling of radial water from the solute fluxes avoids the excessive permeation of NaCl and its accumulation in the assimilating leaves at high rates of transpiration.

Les aquaporines (AQPs) sont des petites protéines formant des canaux hydriques àtravers les membranes cellulaires. Les AQPs 0, 1, 2 ,4 ,5 ,6 et 8 assurent le transport sélectif de l’eautandis que les AQPs 3, 7, 9 et 10 permettent également le passage du glycérol. Nous avons étudié leurexpression dans l’épiderme, la couche supérieure de notre peau supposée imperméable. Dans lesmélanocytes, des cellules dendritiques responsables de la pigmentation, seule l’AQP1 est exprimée.Nous avons montré que les kératinocytes, les cellules majoritaires de l’épiderme, expriment enprolifération les AQPs 3 et 10, alors que les kératinocytes différenciés expriment les AQPs 3 et 9. Lalocalisation de l'AQP3 a été précédemment rapportée à la membrane plasmique des kératinocytes, de lacouche basales à la couche épineuse. Nous avons localisé l'AQP9 dans les kératinocytes différenciés dela couche granuleuse au contenu riche en glycérol et réduit en eau. De fait nous pensons que l'AQP9 ysert de transporteur de glycérol. Enfin contrairement à d'autres auteurs, nous n’avons pu mettre enévidence de lien entre prolifération tumorale et expression des aquaporines. / Aquaporins (AQPS) are a family of small proteins forming water channels across cell membranes.AQPs 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 are strictly water channel whereas AQPs 3, 7, 9 and 10 allow transport ofwater and glycerol. We have studied their expression in the epidermis, the outer-most water-impermeablelayer of the skin. In melanocytes, dendritic cells responsible for pigmentation, only AQP1 is expressed, invitro and ex vivo. We have shown that keratinocytes, principal cells of the epidermis, express AQPs 3 and10 in proliferation, whereas differentiated keratinocytes express AQPs 3 and 9. The localisation of AQP3to plasma membrane of keratinocytes was previously reported from the basal layer to the spinous layer ofthe skin. We localised AQP9 in the fully differentiated keratinocytes of the granular layer, where there is ahigh glycerol and low water content. So we think that AQP9 likely functions as a glycerol transporter.Unlike other authors, we were unable to identify a link between tumorous proliferation and the expressionof aquaporins.

Introduction: Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are converted by the enzyme soluble epoxid hydrolase (sEH) to the biologically inactive dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs). EETs are significantly involved in the control of blood pressure, they influence vascular tone and renal transport mechanism. sEH inhibitor reduce blood pressure by increasing the bioavailability of EETs in many models of hypertension. Aim of the study: To determine that sEH inhibitor decreases blood pressure and improves the renal function during the development of malignant hypertension in transgenic rats after the induction of the mouse renin gene. Methods: Hypertension in Cyp1a1-Ren-2 transgenic rats was induced through a dietary administration of the natural xenobiotic indole-3-carbinol (I3C, 0.3 %) for 3 and 11 days. I3C activates the renin gene. At the same time, during a three-day induction of hypertension, the inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase L-NAME (600 mg/l) was administered in drinking water. The sEH inhibitor c-AUCB was given in drinking water at a dose of 13 or 26 mg/l, starting 48 hours before the initiation of I3C and L-NAME administration. Radiotelemetric measurement of blood pressure was performed and renal excretory parameters were monitored in the conscious animals. The effects on renal hemodynamics and...

The Commission for making the river Vltava and the river Labe in Bohemia navigable was founded in 1896 on the basis of a decree of the ministry of interior as the first water management office to be systematically engaged in making Czech rivers navigable by the canalization method. The Commission was headed by the vice-regent of the Kingdom of Bohemia to whom the members of state's and country's curia were subordinate. The executive section was represented by the central office, composed of the technical and administrative departments. Its activities were financed by two thirds by the Austrian state, one third was paid from the Czech country's treasury. After the establishment of the independent Czechoslovak republic, both curias were dissolved and the Commission was put under the control of the ministry of public works. The president of the country's political administration was appointed as the head of the Commission. The competence of the Commission was step by step extended from the initially entrusted task of making the river Vltava and the river Labe in the division Prague - Ústí nad Labem navigable also to making the river Vltava in Prague navigable as well as to the adaptation of the Holešovice port in Prague to a modern trade port and to drawing up studies on the utilization of water...
