    Notes: Abstract Radiation doses to the tumour and non-tumorous liver compartments from yttrium-90 microspheres in the treatment of hepatic cancer, as estimated by a partition model, have been verified by correlation with the actual doses measured with a beta probe at open surgery. The validity of the doses to the lungs, the tumour and non-tumorous liver compartment as estimated by the partition model was further evaluated in clinical settings. On the basis of the observation that one of three patients who received more than 30 Gy from a single treatment and one of two patients who received more than 50 Gy from multiple treatments developed radiation pneumonitis, it was deduced that an estimated lung dose 〈30 Gy from a single treatment and a cumulative lung dose 〈50 Gy from multiple treatments were probably the tolerance limits of the lungs. Three of five patients who received lung doses 〉30 Gy as estimated by the partition model and were predicted to develop radiation pneumonitis, did so despite the use of partial hepatic embolization to reduce the degree of lung shunting. Furthermore, a higher radiological response rate and prolonged survival were found in the group of patients who received higher tumour doses, as estimated by the partition model, than in the group with lower estimated tumour doses. Thus the radiation doses estimated by the partition model can be used to predict (a) complication rate, (b) response rate and (c) duration of survival in the same manner as the actual radiation doses measured with a beta probe at open surgery. The partition model has made selective internal radiation therapy using90Y microspheres safe and repeatable without laparotomy.

    Notes: Measurements of fluorescence depolarization on fumarase labeled with the dye pyrene-butyryl were used to test for previously reported structural changes in this enzymes. These apparent conformation changes were of interest because they seemed to correlate with variation in catalytic activity provoked by changing temperature or pH, or by the presence of a competitive inhibitor. In the present studies, the bound dye pyrene-butyryl and the enzymes were investigated systematically to ensure that simple interpretation of fluorescence depolarization results would be meaningful. This analysis showed that carefully controlled experimental condition were necessary to eliminate a dye component with a short fluorescence lifetime and that it was essential to allow for small variations of lifetime with temperature. Contrary to the previous report, a constant rotational relaxation time of the magnitude expected for a nearly spherical molecule of fumarase was found. No changes were detectable by fluorescence depolarization in the size or shape of pyrene-butyryl-fumarase under the solution conditions tested that caused variation in enzyme activity.

    Notes: Polyfunctional alcohols, acyclic, cyclic, and heterocyclic imines, and organotin oxides have been studied as crosslinking agents for chlorosulfonated polyethylene. Mechanisms for the crosslinking reactions involving the sulfonyl chloride moiety have been proposed. Differences in curing activity have been correlated with structural modifications of the curing agents consistent with classical chemical reactions for nonpolymeric systems. Of the curing systems examined, the polyols provide nontoxic, low cost, safe-processing formulations offering excellent physical properties which have found use in practical commercial applications.

    Notes: The concept that flammability is fundamentally related to the potential thermal energy available per unit of volume of material emerged from attempts to correlate the effect of composition variables on the flammability of neoprene vulcanizates as measured by the oxygen index (O.I.) test. The origins of this test clearly show that it is a highly specific measure of flammability - the tendency of a composition to continue to burn once ignited - and that it is thermodynamically related to the heat of combustion of materials. This relationship is developed to a linear correlation which includes a wide variety of synthetic and natural materials and permits reasonable prediction of O.I. values from elemental analysis. Polymeric materials containing carbon and oxygen in atom ratios of less than 6 to 1 are more flammable than predicted. The effect of atmospheric temperature on O.I. can be predicted in relation to the O.I. value at normal temperature. This effect is shown to be independent of the composition of the material being tested. These two correlations permit the construction of a simple general map of flammability against which experimental data can be compared and judgments made with respect to the significant variables involved. There appears to be a significant relation between O.I. data, as viewed from these correlations, and the data of other flammability tests.
