In the current study, a novel wool dissolving system based on NaHSO3, azone and LKZ-610 (Trisubstituted organic phosphorus, an anti-shrink finishing agent for wool and cashmere) was prepared and employed to process wool fibers into keratin solution at 90°C for 7 hrs, where 65g wool fibers, 30g NaHSO3 and 5g azone were dissolved in 1L LKZ-610, resulting in high molecular weight keratin solution. The anti-pilling rating reached at Grade 4.5 with good hand when the cashmere fabric was treated for 50min at 50°C in the previously prepared wool keratin solution under the condition of 1:20 bath ratio, 8% owf keratin solution and 5% owf LKZ-610.

SUMMARYFrom gel filtration studies it has been found that more than 50% of organic phosphorus dissolved in pig slurry is contained in compounds of high molecular weight. Various ions, e.g. calcium, copper, orthophosphate, are bound by these compounds. From the purine and pyrimidine base composition and resistance to acid and alkali treatment it follows that these organic compounds probably are complexes derived from polydeoxyribonucleotides (DNA).The effect of drying pig slurry at various temperatures (0–100 °C) on the solubility of phosphorus, calcium and copper after redispersion of the dried slurry was investigated. The solubility of organic phosphorus was not affected by drying and redispersion in water, but the amount of phosphorus contained in dissolved organic molecules of high molecular weight decreased on drying at higher temperatures. The solubility of copper was also not affected by heat treatment. The solubility of inorganic phosphorus is mainly related to the solubility constants of mineral phosphates. On the other hand the total solubility of the cations involved is determined by complex formation.

Molybdate reactive high molecular weight (MW > 5000) phosphorus (RHMW-P) in solution was separated from low molecular weight material (PO4-P) by Sephadex gel (G25–150). PO4-P is as close to orthophosphate as has been possible to achieve with molybdenum blue technology. Chromatograms of near-surface waters of 32 lakes showed that RHMW-P was rarely the dominant component of dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), and so cannot be the major influence causing discrepant estimates of orthophosphate concentrations derived from molybdenum blue and radiotracer technology. The low molecular weight material (PO4-P) may still contain chemically reactive organic phosphorus which could lead to overestimation of orthophosphate. Recent literature points to discrepancies in radiotracer estimates too, so further effort is required to provide reliable assessment of orthophosphate in lake water. Estimates of orthophosphate flux from solution to particulate material based on 32PO4-derived turnover times are likely to be in error irrespective of the source of orthophosphate estimate.Key words: molybdenum blue method, radiotracer, orthophosphate flux, reactive high molecular weight phosphorus, gel chromatography, radiobioassay

Microtubules are involved in a number of forms of intracellular motility, including mitosis and bidirectional organelle transport. Purified microtubules from brain and other sources contain tubulin and a diversity of microtubule associated proteins (MAPs). Some of the high molecular weight MAPs - MAP 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B - are long, fibrous molecules that serve as structural components of the cytamatrix. Three MAPs have recently been identified that show microtubule activated ATPase activity and produce force in association with microtubules. These proteins - kinesin, cytoplasmic dynein, and dynamin - are referred to as cytoplasmic motors. The latter two will be the subject of this talk.Cytoplasmic dynein was first identified as one of the high molecular weight brain MAPs, MAP 1C. It was determined to be structurally equivalent to ciliary and flagellar dynein, and to produce force toward the minus ends of microtubules, opposite to kinesin.

SummaryIn 15 patients with acute myocardial infarction who received 1,500,000 U of streptokinase, the gradual appearance of newly synthesized fibrinogen and the fibrinopeptide release during the first 35 h after SK treatment were evaluated. At 5 h the fibrinogen circulating in plasma was observed as the high molecular weight fraction (HMW-Fg). The concentration of HMW-Fg increased continuously, and at 20 h reached values higher than those obtained from normal plasma. HMW-Fg represented about 95% of the total fibrinogen during the first 35 h. The degree of phosphorylation of patient fibrinogen increased from 30% before treatment to 65% during the first 5 h, and then slowly declined to 50% at 35 h.The early rates of fibrinopeptide A (FPA) and phosphorylated fibrinopeptide A (FPAp) release are higher in patient fibrinogen than in isolated normal HMW-Fg and normal fibrinogen after thrombin addition. The early rate of fibrinopeptide B (FPB) release is the same for the three fibrinogen groups. However, the late rate of FPB release is higher in patient fibrinogen than in normal HMW-Fg and normal fibrinogen. Therefore, the newly synthesized fibrinogen clots faster than fibrinogen in the normal steady state.In two of the 15 patients who had occluded coronary arteries after SK treatment the HMW-Fg and FPAp levels increased as compared with the 13 patients who had patent coronary arteries.These results provide some support for the idea that an increased synthesis of fibrinogen in circulation may result in a procoagulant tendency. If this is so, the HMW-Fg and FPAp content may serve as a risk index for thrombosis.

Summary1. Infusions of low molecular weight dextran (Mw = 42 000) to dogs in doses of 1—1.5 g per kg body weight did not produce any significant changes in the coagulation mechanism.2. Infusions of high molecular weight dextran (Mw = 1 000 000) to dogs in doses of 1—1.5 g per kg body weight produced severe defects in the coagulation mechanism, namely prolongation of bleeding time and coagulation time, thrombocytopenia, pathological prothrombin consumption, decrease of fibrinogen, prothrombin and factor VII, factor V and AHG.3. Heparin treatment of the dogs was found to prevent the decrease of fibrinogen, prothrombin and factor VII, and factor V otherwise occurring after injection of high molecular weight dextran. Thrombocytopenia was not prevented.4. In in vitro experiments an interaction between fibrinogen and dextran of high and low molecular weight was found to take place in systems comprising pure fibrinogen. No such interaction occurred in the presence of plasma.5. It is concluded that the coagulation defects induced by infusions of high molecular weight dextran are due to intravascular coagulation.

SummaryUrokinase (UK) could be purified to apparent homogeneity starting from crude urine by sequential adsorption and elution of the enzyme to gelatine-Sepharose and agmatine-Sepharose followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150. The purified product exhibited characteristics of the high molecular weight urokinase (HMW-UK) but did contain two distinct entities, one of which exhibited a two chain structure as reported for the HMW-UK while the other one exhibited an apparent single chain structure. The purification described is rapid and simple and results in an enzyme with probably no major alterations. Yields are high enough to obtain purified enzymes for characterization of UK from individual donors.
