ABSTRACTThe present work focuses on the γ-ray irradiation doses and conditions (dry solid state, solid state dispersing in 0.5–2 % aqueous H2O2 solution, solid state dispersing in 1% aqueous acetic acid, and 2% aqueous K2S2O8) to determine the level that the molecular weight of chitosan is lowered significantly without changing its primary structure. Molecular weight of chitosan (105-106 Dalton) is reduced approximately 50% under the γ-ray dose of 20 kGy in the dry solid state. The decrease in molecular weight is enhanced up to 80% when chitosan is suspended in 0.5–2 % aqueous H2O2 solution during γ-ray irradiation. In either condition, the backbone structure of the irradiated product is maintained with little change in the terminal chain. In the cases of (i) chitosan suspended in 2% aqueous K2S2O8 and (ii) chitosan in 1% aqueous acetic acid, chitosans lose their primary structures and physical properties.

We developed a time-dependent diffusion model for analyzing the concentration profiles of low-molecular-weight tracers in the interendothelial clefts of the capillary wall that takes into account the three-dimensional time-dependent filling of the surrounding tissue space. The model provides a connecting link between two methods to investigate transvascular exchange: electron-microscopic experiments to study the time-dependent wake formed by low-molecular-weight tracers (such as lanthanum nitrate) on the tissue side of the junction strand discontinuities in the interendothelial cleft of frog mesentery capillaries (R. H. Adamson and C. C. Michel. J. Physiol. Lond. 466: 303-327, 1993) and confocal-microscopic experiments to measure the spread of low-molecular-weight fluorescent tracers in the tissue space surrounding these microvessels (R. H. Adamson, J. F. Lenz, and F. E. Curry, Microcirculation 1: 251-265, 1994). We show that the interpretation of the presence of tracer as an all-or-none indication of a pathway across the junctional strand is likely to be incorrect for small solutes. Large-pore pathways, in which the local tracer flux densities are high, reach a threshold concentration for detection and are likely to be detected after relatively short perfusion times, whereas distributed small-pore pathways may not be detected until the tissue concentrations surrounding the entire vessel approach threshold concentrations. The analysis using this approach supports the hypothesis advanced by Fu et al. (J. Biomech. Eng. 116: 502-513, 1994) that the principal pathways for water and solutes of < 1.0 nm diameter across the interendothelial cleft may be different and suggests new experiments to test this hypothesis.

Abstract Mark and Saito were the first to fractionate a high polymer (cellulose acetate) by chromatographic adsorption on blood carbon. They found that molecules of low molecular weight were adsorbed first, and that the mean molecular weight of the product which remained unadsorbed was higher than the original molecular weight. Levi and Giera confirmed this result, but did not succeed in fractionating Buna-S or polyisoprene, for these polymers were eluted by the solvent during the washing operation in the column. The present authors have carried out further experiments in this field with a study of three commercial synthetic elastomers, viz., GR-S (butadienestyrene copolymer), Perbunan-N (butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer), and Visitanex (polyisobutylene). The polymer was adsorbed by starting with a poor solvent composed of a mixture of toluene and methanol ; the quantity of alcohol added was just below the threshold of precipitation. The adsorbent used was a mixture of 75 per cent of lamp black (80 square meters per gram) and 25 per cent of coarse active carbon. The latter served to prevent agglomeration of the lamp black. The adsorbent was divided into three layers, of 10 grams each. At the end of the tube was a filter of fritted glass. Filtration was carried out under pressure, the rate of flow thereby being maintained constant, The polymers were characterized by their intrinsic viscosities. The molecular weights which were estimated by means of the relation, found experimentally between the molecular weight and viscosity, are only approximate, for this relation holds true only for narrow fractions.
