    Notes: Abstract Naturally occurring and experimentally induced ascending colon volvulus (ACV) result in transmural compression, increased microvascular permeability and thrombosis and necrosis of the intestinal mucosa analysis of haemostatic variables in horses with naturally occurring ACV have identified changes in plasma antithrombin III (AT III) activity as the most reliable for diagnosing hypercoagulation and predicting survival. In an experimental pony model of no-flow ACV, which results in microvascular injury and thrombosis, systemic haemostasis was evaluated during ischaemia and reperfusion to determine whether selected haemostatic assays consistently yield results suggestive of altered haemostasis (hypercoagulation). Ten normal adult ponies were randomly divided into two equal groups (Group 1, control; Group 2, experimental volvulus). All experiments were performed under general anaesthesia and were terminal. Haemostatic variables (prothrombin time, PT; activated partial thromboplastin time, APTT, platelet count, fibrinogen concentration, and plasma AT III activity) were measured prior to general anaesthesia, immediately before colonic volvulus, at 60 and 120 min of ischaemia, and at 60 and 120 min of reperfusion. Mean plasma AT III activity decreased in both the control and experimental groups after induction of general anaesthesia. Mean plasma AT III activity continued to decrease after reperfusion in Group 2 ponies and differed significantly (p〈0.05) from control ponies at 120 min of reperfusion. Prothrombin time, APTT, platelet count and fibrinogen concentration values were not significantly different between groups. The decreased plasma AT III activity following the experimental procedures in this model of no-flow colonic ischaemia and reperfusion was suggestive of systemic hypercoagulation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Anodic corrosion processes on steels in inert and oxidising atmospheresThe purpose of the investigation here described was to find out to what extent electrochemical techniques lend themselves to the examination of steel corrosion in the presence of molten sulphates and combustion gases. The measured equilibrium potentials of an inert metal electrode are intended to serve for the determination of the redox potential in the salt melt/combustion gases system. If no current is flowing, the stationary potential of a platinum electrode in a sulphate melt at 600° C can be expressed by the equation \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm E} = 0.712 + 0.088\log {\rm PS0}_{\rm 2} \cdot {\rm P0}_{\rm 2} $$\end{document} where E signifies the potential related to the silver/silver sulphate electrode, and pSO2 pO2 the partial pressures (in atmospheres) of the two gases in an inert gas (nitrogen + carbon dioxide). The formula permits the conclusion that the electrode reaction can be expressed by the equilibrium condition .The anode currents set up if the potential of a mild steel or pure iron electrode is kept at the above-mentioned temperature viz. -0.3 V with N2 + CO2 + 5% O2, or + 0.4 V with N2 + CO2 + 0.2% SO2, show that under the test conditions, these metals would be greatly exposed to corrosion. Stainless steels become passive after a few hours although a residual corrosion current at + 0.4 V remains. These observations give rise to the expectation that electro-chemical examinations may well represent a useful means of examining corrosion phenomena caused by molten salts in the presence of combustion gases, so that they merit more detailed investigation.
    Notes: Durch die beschriebene Untersuchung sollten geprüft, wie weit sich elektrochemische Techniken für die Untersuchung der Korrosion von Stahl in Gegenwart von geschmolzenen Sulfaten und von Verbrennungsgasen eignen. Die gemessenen Gleichgewichtpotentiale einer inerten Metallelektrode sollen zur Feststellung des Redox-Potentials im System Salzschmelze/Verbrennungsgase dienen. Das stationäre Potential einer Platinelektrode in einer Sulfatschmelze an 600° C läßt sich - für den Fall, daß kein Strom fließt - darstellen durch die Gleichung \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm E} = 0,712 + 0,088\log {\rm PS0}_{\rm 2} \cdot {\rm P0}_{\rm 2} $$\end{document} wobei E dem Potential, bezogen auf die Silber/Silbersulfat-Elektrode und pSO2 pO2 wie pO2 den Partialdrücken (in at) der beiden Gase in einem Trägergas (Stickstoff + Kohlendioxyd) entsprechen. Die Formel erlaubt den Schluß, daß die Elektrodereaktion durch das Gleichgewicht darstellbar ist.Die Anodenströme, die fließen, wenn das Potential eines Flußstahls oder einer Elektrode aus der oben genannten Temperatur befindlichen Sulfatschmelze konstant gehalten wird (-0,3 V bie N2 + CO2 + 5% O2, bzw. + 0,4 V bei N2 + CO2 + 0,2% SO2), zeigen, daß diese Metalle unter den Bedingungen des Versuches stark angegriffen wurden. Rostfreie Stähle werden nach wenigen Stunden passiv obwohl ein Korrosions-Reststrom bei + 0,4 V verbleibt. Diese Beobachtungen lassen vermuten, daß elektrochemische Untersuchungen ein durchaus nützliches Mittel zur Untersuchungen der Korrosion durch geschmolzene Salze in Gegenwart von Verbrennungsgasen können und daher eingehender untersucht werden sollten.

    Notes: Surface modification of cellulose acetate dialysis membranes was carried out by 60Co radiation induced graft copolymerization of the hydrogel, hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The degree of grafting was controlled by varying the HEMA monomer concentration in the grafting solution and the radiation dose. A continuous flow platelet adhesion test was designed which allows testing under conditions more closely approximating hemodialysis than other small scale in vitro tests. Platelet adhesion on treated membranes fell substantially with increasing surface HEMA concentration. The presence of HEMA on the membrane surface did not affect the membrane activated clotting times significantly.
