    Notes: Abstract The efficiency and efficacy of theelectrogastrogram (EGG) involve a few practical factors,including recording length, sample size, and thecharacteristics of subjects. The aim of this study wasto investigate the effect of these factors on the accuracy ofEGG analysis. Gastric myoelectrical activity wasrecorded using electrogastrography in 24 subjects (ages22-91 years) for 1 hr in the fasting state and 2 hr after a test meal. Computerized spectralanalysis was performed to compute EGG parameters,including dominant frequency, dominant power, and thepercentage of 2-4 cycles per minute (cpm) slow waves. A parameter called misinterpretation was definedto investigate the effect of recording length. Theresults were as follows: (1) Using the recording lengthof 1 hr in each state as a gold standard, themisinterpretation for the recording length of 30 min was 27% forthe dominant frequency and 17% for the dominant power.When the recording length was reduced to 15 min, themisinterpretation increased to 61% for the dominant frequency and 38% for the dominant power. (2)With a sample size of 10 subjects and a recording lengthof 60 min, a statistically significant postprandialincrease was observed in the dominant frequency and power, and a trend in the postprandialincrease of the regularity of the EGG was noted. Whenthe sample size increased to 24 subjects, a significantpostprandial increase was found in all these parameters. (3) None of the EGG parameters exhibited anysignificant difference between the younger and oldersubjects or between men and women. In conclusion, arecording length of 30-60 min seems to be appropriate and produces reliable and predictable results.Age and gender do not affect any of the EGGparameters.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate gastricmyoelectrical activity in patients with functionaldyspepsia. Thirteen healthy subjects and 14 patientswith functional dyspepsia participated in the study. The electrogastrogram (EGG) recording was madein each subject for 30 min in the fasting state and 120min after a standard test meal of 475 calories. Spectralanalysis methods were applied to derive quantitative EGG parameters. There was no difference in theEGG between the patients and controls in the fastingstate. However, abnormalities in the postprandial EGGwere found in the patients. The percentage of 2-4 cpmwaves was significantly lower (74.4 ± 4.0% vs85.7 ± 1.6%, P 〈 0.03) and the postprandialincrease in EGG dominant power was significantly less(–0.52 ± 0.92 dB vs 2.24 ± 0.88 dB,P 〈 0.03) in patients than in controls. It was alsofound that the percentage of postprandial 2-4 cpm wavescould be used to differentiate the patients withfunctional dyspepsia from the healthy controls with a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of 43%. It was concluded that a subset of patients withfunctional dyspepsia have impaired gastric myoelectricalactivity in the fed state.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigateabnormalities in pediatric patients with functionaldyspepsia. Fifteen symptomatic pediatric patientsdiagnosed with functional dyspepsia and 17 aged-matchedhealthy controls were studied. Gastric myoelectricalactivity was recorded using surface electrogastrographyfor 1 hr in the fasting state and 1 hr after a testmeal. It was found that, in comparison with thecontrols, the children with functional dyspepsia had alower percentage of 2- to 4-cpm slow waves in bothfasting state (66.0 ± 4.7% vs 79.7 ± 3.1%,P 〈 0.07) and fed state (72.4 ± 5.4% vs 85.0± 2.9%, P 〈 0.04), and a significantly higherinstability of the dominant frequency in both fastingstate (0.50 ± 0.05 vs 0.31 ± 0.04, P 〈0.01) and fed state (0.39 ± 0.05 vs 0.25 ±0.03, P 〈 0.05). It was also found the postprandial increase inEGG dominant power in the patients was inverselycorrelated with the total symptom score (r = 0.63, P =0.03). It was concluded that abnormal gastricmyoelectrical activity may play a role in the pathogenesis ofpediatric functional dyspepsia.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate thecharacteristics of the gastric slow wave duringdifferent phases of the migrating myoelectrical complex(MMC) and the effect of electroacupuncture on the MMC. The experiment was performed in eight hounddogs implanted with one pair of bipolar serosalelectrodes 2 cm proximal to the pylorus. Gastricmyoelectrical activity was recorded for three completecycles of the MMC in two sessions, one withelectroacupuncture at points ST36 and PC6 and the otherat sham points. The acupuncture was performed for 30 minin phase I of the second cycle of the MMC. Spectral analysis was performed to compute the frequencyand power (amplitude) of the gastric slow wave, whereasblind visual analysis was applied to compute theappearance of spike potentials and the length of each phase of the MMC. It was found that therewas a significant difference in the frequency and powerof the gastric slow wave during different phases of theMMC (P 〈 0.05). Phase I was characterized with the highest frequency and lowest power ofthe gastric slow wave, whereas phase III exhibited thehighest power in the slow wave. It was also found thatin comparison with the sham points, electroacupuncture at the acupoints increased the number of spikebursts. This increase was not significant during the MMCcycle with electroacupuncture (34.4 ± 4.1 vs 27.5± 2.5%, P 〉 0.05) but became significant during the cycle after electroacupuncture (39.8± 3.3% vs 27.5 ± 2.5%, P 〈 0.0005).Similarly, during the MMC cycle after electroacupunctureat the acupoints, there was a significant decrease in the length of phase I (14.8 ± 2.2 vs46.9 ± 6.1 min, P 〈 0.003) and a significantincrease in the length of phase II (75.6 ± 9.9 vs30.6 ± 4.1 min, P 〈 0.003) and phase III (25.8± 0.6 vs 22.1 ± 0.7 min, P 〈 0.003). A similarincrease was observed during the MMC cycle withelectroacupuncture but was not statisticallysignificant. In conclusion, the gastric slow wave hasthe highest power during phase III of the MMC, indicatingthat the antral contraction is characterized not only bythe appearance of spikes, but also by the increasedpower of the slow wave. Electroacupuncture at acupoints of ST36 and PC6 enhances the gastric MMC byreducing the length of phase I and increasing the lengthof phases II and III.

    Notes: Electropolymerization of cyanogen in acetonitrile containing an electrolyte yields a poly(cyanogen). Its structure involves an open-structured dimer derived from the heterocyclic anion C7N7- mixed with a sequence of nitrile-substituted, conjugated carbon-nitrogen bonds. Although this polymer is an insulating solid, pyrolysis in vacuo to 700°C leads to highly conducting carbon-nitrogen pyropolymers via crosslinking and nitrogen elimination. The 700° pyropolymer has a carbon-nitrogen ratio of 5:1, a room temperature conductivity of 1 Ω-1 cm-1, and an activation energy for conduction of ∼0.03 eV.

    Notes: Interpolymer ion exchange membranes were prepared from a compatible casting solution that contained poly(styrene sodium sulfonate), poly(vinyl methyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride), and poly(vinyl alcohol). Crosslinking of the films was accomplished through the formation of ester linkages that were stable in aqueous environments. Membrane properties (water content, capacity, concentration potential, equivalent conductivity) were measured over a wide range of membrane compositions. Ultrafiltration was carried out with a feed solution that was 0.01N in KCI and 15 ppm in erythrosin. Rejection and hydraulic permeability data were reported as a function of membrane composition.

    Notes: The performances of several composite membranes (PEC-1000, Teijin, HR-95, HR-98) and one asymmetric membrane (Solrox SC-200) in hyperfiltration are compared at 25°C using different aqueous feed solutions (0.1M and 0.5M NaCl, 0.5M 1,3-and 1,4-dioxan, 0.1M benzyl alcohol and 2-methoxybenzyl alcohol, 1,2- and 1,4-butandiol, and Triton feed solution). The effects of solute dissociation, polarization, and hydrogen bonding ability on solute permeability are discussed; steric effects are also being considered. Strong solute-membrane interactions are exhibited in hyperfiltration by systems with distinct hydrogen bonding capabilities of the solute with functional sites of the membrane matrix. Knowledge of solute-membrane interactions can be useful for elaborating separation and transport mechanisms.

    Notes: The process of depolymerization of PET resin by EG glycolysis under pressure is investigated. The kinetics of this pressurized depolymerization of PET resin is discussed. It was found that the rate of depolymerization is dependent of temperature, pressure, and concentration ratio of EG to PET. The rate of depolymerization is proportional to the square of EG concentration and faster than that under atmospheric pressure. Glycolyzed products under pressure consist of the PET monomer, BHET, and oligomers, mostly dimer and trimer. An equilibrium between BHET and oligomers is attained quickly soon after the depolymerization step is completed in the case of a higher ratio of EG/PET used. In the case of lower ratio of EG/PET, the final product now consists of higher molecular weight of oligomers rather than monomer, dimer, and trimer.
