SUMMARY This study showed that the application of hormones directly on the surface of the skin will result in uterine and vaginal weight stimulation, at times equal to and sometimes more effective than effects obtained by s.c. injection of the same hormones in the same concentration and over the same length of time. This effect was apparent, using sixteen different oestrogens. It was also shown that the uterine weight response is more sensitive and discriminatory in detecting differences between the potencies of oestrogens than is the vaginal weight response. The rank orders by both response variables, whether by topical or s.c. administration, were similar. It was shown statistically that the differences in potency of the sixteen oestrogens tested in this study are related more to certain molecular structure than to difference in solubility, molecular weight, or melting point. It was postulated that the potency of the oestrogens was related to their molecular structure and activity within the target organs.

The Difference

Beta glucan is a polysaccharide compound, generally not soluble inwater and resistant to acid. Beta glucan is used as an immunomodulator (enhancing the immune system) in mammals is usually a beta-glucan soluble in water, easily absorbed and has a low molecular weight. Several example of beta-glucan such as cellulose (β-1 ,4-glucan), lentinan (β-1 0.6-glucan) and (β-1 ,3-glucan), pleuran (β-1, 6 and β-1 ,3-glucan) are isolated from species of fungi Basidiomycota include mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) and shiitake (Lentinus edodes).The purpose of thisresearch activity is to obtain beta-glucan compound that can be dissolved in water and in alkali derived from fungi Basidiomycota, i.e, Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) and shiitake (Lentinus edodes). The result of beta-glucan compared to characterize the resulting beta glucan that is molecular structure . The difference of beta glucan extraction is based on the differences in solubility of beta-glucan. Beta glucan could be water soluble and insoluble water.

Abstract. Osmotic minipumps containing low doses of either 4-hydroxyoestradiol or 2-hydroxyoestradiol2) were sc implanted for 152 h (6⅓ day) into immature male and female rats. At the end of the test period the animals were killed and the uterine weight, the vaginal opening, the gonadotrophin serum levels and the gonadal weight monitored. The following results were obtained: 1) a significant increase in the uterine weight and a consistent vaginal opening were observed after 4-hydroxyoestradiol but not after 2-hydroxyoestradiol treatment, 2) LH-levels increased after 2-hydroxyoestradiol but not after 4-hydroxyoestradiol; the increase was, however, not significant, 3) FSH-levels and gonadal weights were lowered by 4-hydroxyoestradiol treatment in male animals only; 2-hydroxyoestradiol had no effect on FSH-levels in both sexes, 4) in no instance an antioestrogenic effect of either catecholoestrogen was observed. It is concluded that 4-hydroxyoestrogens — using the above paradigm — have a significant importance on uterine growth and vaginal opening but (on day 6) no role on LH-release, whereas 2-hydroxyoestrogens may increase LH levels (on day 6) but are nearly ineffective with respect to peripheral parameters.

AbstractA new polyethylene-compatible terthiophene chromophore, 5”-thio-(3- butyl)nonyl-2,2’:5’,2”-terthiophene, with melting point lower than 0°C was prepared and used for linear polarizers based on ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy indicate that the new chromophore is dispersed uniformly in films of UHMWPE obtained by casting from solution. The films show excellent dichroic properties (dichroic ratio 30) at rather low drawing ratio (≈ 20) . Moreover, qualitative agreement is observed with the Ward pseudo-affine deformation scheme.

Salmonella newport phages 16–19 and 7–11 have very long heads and are members of two rare and so far little-known phage groups. Both produce various morphological aberrations. Preparations of phage 7–11 contain numerous polyheads and about 0.4% short heads belonging to nine size classes. In addition, one giant phage particle was observed. The head of phage 7–11 seems to be an icosahedron which became elongated by adding successive rows of subunits. Phages 16–19 and 7–11 have buoyant densities in CsCl of 1.43 and 1.48 g/mL and particle weights of 103 and 204 × 106 respectively. Both viruses contain double-stranded DNA, internal proteins, and sugars. Phage 16–19 contains 46.5% DNA of 35 × 106 molecular weight, and glucose. Phage 7–11 contains 47.5% DNA of 108 × 106 molecular weight, and mannose. Base compositions of phage and S. newport DNAs were determined from buoyant densities, melting point, and acid hydrolysis. Phage 16–19 contains 5.4% 5-methylcytosine.

Quinone Structure

A Fenton-like process with combination of dye has been used to enhance the treatment of carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran -7-yl methylcarbamate) pesticide rinsate. Results showed that as compared to Fenton-like process, this photosensitization Fenton-like process improved the degradation efficiency of carbofuran rinsate significantly. Among the conditions studied, the optimum dosage for the complete destruction of carbofuran molecular structure was found under a [H2O2]0/[Fe3 + ]0 ratio of 30–35 and a [Dye]0/[Fe3 + ]0 ratio of 2%, respectively, after an irradiance of 500 W/m2 for 20 min. As a result, the COD degradation efficiency of rinsate could be promoted from 37.1 to 61.2% and 66.0% by an addition of methylene blue (MB) and alizarin red S (ARS), respectively. Nevertheless, ARS showed a much more effective acceleration effect on the mineralization and microtoxicity reduction of carbofuran than MB. A mineralization efficiency of 57.2% and a microtoxicity reduction of 90% could be achieved with the addition of ARS. Because of its quinone structure unit, the dye ARS could play a role like hydroquinone to recycle Fe2 +  from Fe3 + , resulting in one more catalytic effect on the reduction of Fe3 +  and thus the mineralization and microtoxicity reduction of carbofuran was greatly promoted in the presence of ARS. In addition, it was found that carbofuran molecules could be decomposed quickly to lower-molecular-weight intermediates and even mineralized by attacking of hydroxyl radicals. Carbofuran was found to be decomposed to carbofuran phenol, 3-oxo carbofuran phenol, and 3-hydroxyl carbofuran phenol initially, and then further be degraded to smaller molecules, such as NO3−, CH3COOH, (COOH)2 and CO2. Accordingly, it was believed that the Fenton-like process along with the aid of a photosensitizer, such as ARS, under an appropriate ratio could be a feasible and potential technology for the treatment of pesticide rinsate.

Water-soluble phenolic resin was prepared using sodium hydroxide and ammonia as catalysts. The molecular structure of water-soluble phenolic with different molecular weight was studied by infrared spectrum and the mechanism was discussed. The results show that addition reaction and polycondensation synchronize in the reaction process, while addition reaction dominates in the early stage while polycondensation dominates in the later stage.

The performance of JHMGC100S, a kind of HDPE for pipe, was studied, and the comparison with other typical PE100 resin in China and abroad was also did. The results show that: the impact strength of JHMGC100S was higher than other samples, and the bending strength was almost the same; the molecular weight distribution was obvious bimodal; the processability of JHMGC100S was good, and the hydrostatic strength of the pipe which was produced by JHMGC100S fulfilled the rule in GB/T 15558.1-2003.
