    Notes: Summary The intracellular bicarbonate concentration in the cytoplasmic water of kidney cells of Necturus was determined by means of double-barreled HCO3 −-selective liquid ion-exchange microelectrodes. These microelectrodes permit the simultaneous determination of intracellular HCO3 − and membrane PD of single cells. The fact that these double-barreled microelectrodes yielded a normal peritubular cell membrane electrical PD (70 m V) may be taken as evidence against any significant cellular damage by the electrodes. This electrometric study yielded a mean intracellular [HCO3 −] in single proximal tubule cells of Necturus of 11.1±0.6 mM, a value which is more than an order of magnitude higher than that predicted for a Donnan-type electrochemical equilibrium distribution of HCO3 − ions. Thus there is a net electrochemical gradient favoring the passive efflux of HCO3 − ions across both individual cell membranes. The movement of HCO3 − ions from cell-to-interstitium would contribute to the renal acidification function. Across the luminal cell membrane the two possible mechanisms are either active reabsorption (lumen-to-cell) of HCO3 − ions as such or active H+ secretion (cell-to-lumen). Our directly measured relatively high intracellular [HCO3 −] and the associated calculated relatively alkaline kidney cell pH of 7.44 are both more consistent with the H+ secretion hypothesis.

    Notes: A second-order unconditionally stable ADI scheme has been developed for solving three-dimensional parabolic equations. This scheme reduces three-dimensional problems to a succession of one-dimensional problems. Further, the scheme is suitable for simulating fast transient phenomena. Numerical examples show that the scheme gives an accurate solution for the parabolic equation and converges rapidly to the steady state solution. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
