    Notes: Abstract Electromicroscopic examinations were carried out on 30 myocardial biopsies taken from 22 human donor hearts immediately after excision (prestorage) or immediately before transplantation (post-storage). All electron micrographs were independently examined by two morphologists. Eleven structures were examined in each micrograph, and each structure was scored according to the degree of injury. A good interobserver correlation was obtained in 84 % of the structures scored. In the prestorage left ventricular biopsies (n = 11), approximately 20 %–25 % showed moderate to severe ultrastructural injury. The ultrastructural injury observed in the poststorage left ventricular biopsies (n = 15) was no different from that in the prestorage group, particularly injury to the sarcomere and mitochondria. A similar degree and pattern of injury was seen in the right ventricle (n = 4). There was no evidence that an ischemic storage period of less than 6 h increased the degree of injury seen. However, there was a higher incidence of moderate to severe injury in those hearts excised from donors initially dependent on high inotropic support.

    Notes: The thermal degradation of polyglycollide [poly(methylene carboxylate)] has been studied over the temperature range 250-400°C by using the combined kinetic and analytical technique previously described. The results obtained from thermogravimetry and product analysis were in many ways similar to those from previous work involving higher poly-α-esters. Thus the reaction was predominantly first-order and the major degradation product was glycollide monomer. This confirms the observations of Carothers and is best interpreted in terms of an intramolecular ester interchange process. Kinetic studies have shown that the first-order rate constant k is related to temperature T by the expression: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k = 2.1 \times 10^8 e^{ - 32,{{600} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{600} {RT}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {RT}}{\rm sec}^{ - {\rm 1}} } $$\end{document} The results from gas evolution analysis showed consistent and marked deviation from first-order behavior. This is interpreted in terms of the greater sensitivity of this technique to traces of acidic degradation products. Solution viscometry was used to demonstrate the effect of degradation conditions on molecular weight change in both thermogravimetric and gas evolution techniques.

    Poly-α-ester degradation studies. VI. Thermal degradation of poly(3-pentylidene carboxylate) (1980)
    New York : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: The thermal degradation of poly(3-pentylidene carboxylate) has been studied kinetically over the temperature range 200-300°C using thermogravimetry, gas evolution analysis, and rheogoniometry together with isolation and analysis of the reaction products. The observed behavior is completely different from that previously reported for poly(isopropylidene carboxylate) and poly(methylene carboxylate). Whereas in the latter cases the decomposition occurs by a first-order intramolecular ester interchange process characterized by an activation energy in the region of 27 kcal mole-1, poly(3-pentylidene carboxylate) decomposition occurs by random chain scission superimposed on a first-order hydrogen abstraction process. The activation energy associated with this decomposition reaction is in the region of 47 kcal mole-1, and the major degradation products are cis- and trans-2-ethyl crotonic acid.
