SummaryThe plasma clearance of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) depends on the initial molecular weight and the degree of substitution. So far, little attention has been paid to the clinical relevance of the C2/C6 substitution ratio of hydroxyethyl starch.10 patients with cerebrovascular circulatory disturbance received hemodilution therapy for 10 days, consisting of 10% HES 200/0.5 (mean molecular weight 200 kD, degree of substitution 0.5) with a C2/C6 ratio of 13.4. A second group of 10 patients received a starch solution with identical initial molecular weight and degree of substitution but with a C2/C6 ratio of 5.7.After the administration of a single dose, no significant differences between the two groups were observed. After repeated administration, significant differences could be detected in hemorheology, coagulation and elimination (p<0.01). The larger C2/C6 ratio led to a higher intravascular mean molecular weight (95 vs. 84 kD), which in turn led to a higher increase in serum concentration during the therapy (14.7 vs.8.6 mg/ml). Hematocrit was lowered more (-30,5 vs. -23,5%) and plasma viscosity was increased more. There was also a more pronounced increase in partial thromboplastin time (+30% vs. +13%) and a factor of 2 larger decrease of factor VIII/von Willebrand factor-complex (p <0.01), which exceeded the dilution effect.The higher C2/C6 ratio of HES 200/0.5/13.4 slows down enzymatic degradation. After repeated administration of this starch, large molecules accumulate which are inefficiently degraded. The same effect has been observed after therapy with highly-substituted HES. This accumulation of large molecules leads to a beneficial longer lasting volume effect. The disadvantages include an increase in plasma viscosity and coagulation disturbances, which cannot be explained with the respective dilution effect alone. For these reasons, the C2/C6 ratio is of clinical relevance and should be included in the product labeling in the future.

Background: The purpose of the study was to prepare acetylated wheat starches which have amylase hydrolysis resistant capacity to use as functional food supporting for diabetes treatment. Method: Acetate wheat starches were prepared by acetylation reaction of native wheat starch with different mole ratios of acetic anhydride. These starches were determined for the physicochemical properties by 1H-NMR, SEM, X-ray, DSC, solubility and swelling capacity, the resistant capacity by amylase hydrolysis in-vitro. Results: Acetate wheat starches were prepared successfully with the increase in acetyl content and degree of substitution corresponding with the increase of anhydride acetic, which resulted in the change of physicochemical properties of the wheat starches, including constitution, solubility, swelling capacity and contributed to the increase in resistant starch content in the acetate wheat starches. The AC150-9 containing 2.42% acetyl with degree of substitution 0,094 and resistant starch 32,11% is acceptable by FDA guideline about food safety. Conclusion: Acetate wheat starches contain low rate of digestive starch, while containing a higher proportion of resistant starch than natural wheat starch, possessing a high resistance to amylase activities. Thus, it is hope that this kind of starch to control the rapid increase of postprandual blood glucose response for diabetes treatments effectively. Key words: Acetate wheat starch, substitution, DS, RS, amylase

N,O-Carboxymethyl chitosans were synthesized by the reaction between shrimp, crab and squid chitosans with monochloroacetic acid under basic conditions at 50°C. The mole ratio of reactants was obtained from various reaction conditions of shrimp chitosan polymer and oligomer types. The mole ratio 1:12:6 of chitosan:sodium hydroxide:monochloroacetic acid was used for preparing carboxymethyl of chitosan polymer types while carboxymethyl of chitosan oligomer types were used the mole ratio 1:6:3 of chitosan:sodium hydroxide:monochloroacetic acid. The chemical structure was analyzed by fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnatic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR). The FT-IR was used for confirm the insertion of carboxymethyl group on chitosan molecules. The 1H-NMR was used for determining the degree of substitution (DS) of carboxymethylation at hydroxyl and amino sites of chitosans. Carboxymethyl chitosan samples had the total DS of carboxymethylation ranging from 1.0-2.2. The highest of DS of carboxymethylation was from shrimp chitosan oligomer type.

Novel chitosan-based adsorbent materials with a higher fatty diacid diglycidyl as the crosslinking agent were synthesized and the adsorption abilities of the resulting polymers evaluated towards typical acid dyes. The successful formation of a crosslinked structure was confirmed via infrared spectroscopic measurements and the solubility of the polymer towards 10% aqueous solutions of acetic and formic acids determined. At higher dye concentrations, the adsorption abilities of the crosslinked chitosan towards hydrophilic CI Acid Orange 7 and CI Acid Red 1 increased with decreasing degree of substitution. However, at lower dye concentrations, the crosslinked chitosan with the lowest degree of substitution exhibited the lowest adsorption capability. With such hydrophilic acid dyes, the extent of adsorption decreased significantly as the pH of the solution increased. On the other hand, CI Acid Red 138, which contains a dodecyl group in the chemical structure, was adsorbed to a considerable extent even at higher pH values, suggesting hydrophobic interaction between the alkyl group in the dye molecule and the hydrophobic crosslinker.

On a chemically defined growth medium the degree of substitution of thymidine with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) in DNA of Tetrahymena pyriformis was controlled by the concentration of tetrahydrofiolic acid, BUdR and thymidine in the medium. A correlation between the degree of BUdR substitution in DNA and the reduction in rate of total RNA synthesis has been established. It was found that the reduction of total RNA synthesis results from inhibition of transcription of all RNA species which have been measured. However, independent of the degree of BUdR substitution in DNA, a preferential inhibition of the synthesis of 25s and 17s ribosomal RNA was found. It is concluded that the various genes may respond differently to BUdR substitution with respect to transcription.

Cellulose sodium xanthates of degree of substitution (D.S.) 0.4 to 0.66 were methylated to xanthate S-methyl esters which were then acetylated completely, the final xanthate D.S. remaining close to the original value. Dexanthation with aqueous chlorine dioxide near pH 4.5 and −5° removed almost all of the S-methyl xanthate groups, but the loss of a few acetyl groups from, and the retention of 1 to 2% of sulphur in, the resulting cellulose acetate could not be avoided. The original xanthate groups were presumably represented in this acetate as unsubstituted hydroxyl groups, and these were located by standard methods involving tosylation–iodination, tritylation, and oxidations with lead tetraacetate. Xanthate groups appeared to occupy the third and sixth, but not the second, position in the cellulose, and 53 to 61% of the substituent was in the sixth or primary position; one sample of viscose was "ripened" before the cellulose sodium xanthate was isolated, and the value was 81%. The results were of a preliminary nature, because severe technical difficulties reduced their reliability.
