Sugar Mixtures

1. Diets containing various sugar mixtures together with polyethylene glycol of high molecular weight as a marker were fed to pigs 1, 2 and 3 weeks old. The piglets were slaughtered 2.5 h later, and the ratio of sugar to marker was determined in the contents of the alimentary tract as far as the caecum.2. The greatest fall was found in the first part of the small intestine.3. Glucose had always disappeared by the third quarter of the small intestine.4. Xylose and fructose disappeared more slowly, especially in the younger pigs, but were usually absent from the contents of the last quarter of the small intestine.5. Sucrose was removed far less completely, and the ratio of sucrose to marker frequently did not decrease along the second half of the small intestine. Sucrose was removed much less efficiently when it formed 15% of the diet than when it formed only 5%, and much less efficiently by the younger than by the older pigs.

Exclusion Chromatography

1. The preparation of tanned gelatin spheres and granules from high-molecular-weight gelatin is described. This material is comparatively hard, giving high flow rates, is insoluble in water at temperatures between 0° and 100° and is resistant to digestion by trypsin and chymotrypsin. The high-molecular-weight fraction of gelatin was prepared by precipitation with polyethylene glycol, and the spheres and granules prepared from this fraction were hardened and insolubilized by tanning with either formalin or chromium salts or both. 2. The spheres and granules were used successfully for the separation of protein molecules and other protein-aceous materials ranging in molecular weight from 200 to greater than 6000000. This gel exclusion material has several properties superior to those of other products used for similar purposes. Further, it was noticed that the porosity of the spheres differed considerably from that of the granules.

Gel filtration of human plasma cryoprecipitate on Sepharose 2B indicated the molecular weight of factor VIII coagulant activity (VIIIc) to be significantly greater than that found in antihaemophilic concentrate. Polyethylene glycol at 3% concentration precipitated approximately half of the VIIIc from cryoprecipitate. This activity eluted as high molecular weight material on gel filtration. The addition of more polyethylene glycol to a concentration of 8% precipitated most of the remaining VIIIc from cryoprecipitate. This activity appeared to be of significantly lower molecular weight, approximately corresponding in elution volume to that observed for antihaemophilic concentrate. The possibility that an antibody to VIIIc generated in a patient treated with cryoprecipitate might be directed against the higher molecular weight form of factor VIII was investigated. However, no significant differences between the higher and lower molecular weight forms of factor VIII either in stability or in reactivity with human antibody to factor VIII were found.

Etec Infection

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important cause of diarrhoea in children and piglets. Infection of ETEC results in fluid secretion and electrolyte losses in the small intestine. In this study the effects of tempeh, a traditional fungal fermented soyabean product, on fluid losses induced by ETEC infection in piglets was investigated. Pairs of ETEC-infected and non-infected small intestinal segments of piglets were perfused simultaneously for 8 h with pre-digested tempeh, its supernatant and saline as an internal control. In saline perfused segments, ETEC infection reduced net fluid absorption by more than 500 μl/cm2, whereas this reduction was significantly less for pre-digested tempeh and its supernatant (75 and 282 μl/cm2, respectively). The supernatant of pre-digested tempeh was also compared with its permeate and retentate fractions. These fractions were created by ultra-filtration and contained respectively low and high molecular weight (>5 kDa) compounds. Again ETEC infection caused a significant reduction of net fluid absorption when perfused with saline (386 μl/cm2) and also with the permeate fraction (300 μl/cm2), but much less with the supernatant and the retentate fraction (125 and 140 μl/cm2, respectively). The reduction in net fluid absorption upon ETEC infection when perfused with supernatant of either undigested or pre-digested tempeh was not different. Therefore from this study it can be concluded that a high molecular weight soluble fraction of tempeh is able to protect against fluid losses induced by ETEC, suggesting that this could play a potential role in controlling ETEC-induced diarrhoea.

Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer

The synthesis process of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) by bulk polymerization was investigated. Compared with BPO as initiator, PCE prepared by using AIBN as initiator exhibited better cement paste fluidities. PCE using isopentenyl polyethylene glycol (TPEG) or isobutenyl polyethylene glycol (IPEG) as macromonomer showed excellent fluidities and retaining properties at 80°C and 75°C, respectively. The fumaric acid was more suitable to copolymerize as the third monomer than maleic anhydride. The molecular weight measurements showed that the characteristics of molecular weight and its distribution for all the synthesized samples were in accordance with their cement paste fluidities. The solid-state PCEs can be conveniently dissolved into water to prepare PCE solution with arbitrary concentration, and still with good cement application performances.
