Absorption Characteristics

The fine defective structure of silicon carbide powders obtained from silicic acid-saccharose, aerosil-saccharose, aerosil-carbon black, and hydrated cellulose-silicic acid gel systems was investigated. The relation between IR absorption characteristics and the microstructure of SiC particles obtained from different starting materials was established. The numerical relationship between the lattice parameter a and the frequency ?TO is presented.

Hydrolysis Of

In vitro studies of invertase action patterns were conducted in the presence of silicon (Si). This element is known to inhibit the enzyme both in living tissues and cell-free preparations. Substrates included sucrose, raffinose, stachyose, and turanose. Sugarcane acid invertase was prepared from lyophilized immature storage tissue and was partially purified by salt fractionation, dialysis, and gel filtration. Enzyme products were studied by paper chromatography. Two products, fructose and glucose, were quickly obtained in large quantity from sucrose. Against raffinose the reaction proceeded more slowly but yielded a total of four products. This suggests a powerful work potential of cane invertase since complete acid hydrolysis of raffinose gives only three products. It is proposed that both 1 —> 6 and 1 —> 2 linkages are broken. Fructose appears by direct hydrolysis of raffinose and by secondary attacks upon the intermediate product sucrose. Use of stachyose as substrate gave additional evidence for hydrolysis of the 1 —> 6 linkage. Three products were obtained in the presence of only one 1 —> 2 fructosidic linkage. Incorporation of Si into invertase digests abruptly terminated the reactions against sucrose, raffinose and stachyose. The effective Si concentration was slightly more than 3 µmoles of Si per milliliter of digest. Significance of the invertase inhibition is mentioned both from the standpoint of increasing sucrose yield and as an analytical indicator of silicic acid content of plant tissues. When the disaccharide turanose was employed as substrate, increasing Si levels gave additional products rather than suspended enyme action. Four products appeared in the presence of 9 µmoles of Si. The substrates sucrose and raffinose yielded masses of variably-staining products at Si levels above 27 µmoles per milliliter. The latter products were of low chromatographic mobility and resembled fragments of hydrolyzed starch. To account for Si action on invertase it is proposed that a silicic acid gel forms around the enzyme in direct proportion to Si concentration. Inhibition of sucrose hydrolysis does not stem from severe protein structural changes. Rather, the hypothetical, gel-encased enzyme might cease to function against one substrate while retaining or increasing its capacity to attack others.

In a randomized, double-blind study, patients with chronic plaque-type psoriasis were either treated with 30 ml colloidal silicic acid gel, orally, daily, and topically with the same gel ( n = 15), or were treated identically with placebo gel ( n = 15) for 3 months. One stable psoriatic lesion on the knee or elbow was treated topically and followed throughout the study. Five patients in the treated group and seven controls had psoriatic arthropathy and 11 treated patients and 12 controls had psoriatic onychopathy. Three treated patients and six controls withdrew because of skin irritation or lack of efficacy. In the treated group there were clear improvements in scaling, induration and erythema after treatment. The nail changes were cured in five of 10 evaluable patients in the treated group and joint pain was reduced by almost half in the four evaluable patients with arthropathy. There were no such improvements in the placebo group.
