    Notes: Summary Laser-induced intramyocardial revascularization (LIR) has been used to promote direct communications between blood within the ventricular cavity and that of the existing myocardial vasculature in an attempt to increase perfusion in patients with ischemic heart discase. This study was conducted to measure the effects of LIR channels on regional myocardial flood flow (microspheres), cardiac mechanics (sonomicrometers), and myocardial tissue pressures in 18 dogs. Under baseline hemodynamic conditions (mean HR=165.2±11.4 bpm, LVP=123.6±22.9/4.0±1.8 mmHg, AoP=112.8±27.1/77.0±22.5 mmHg), myocardial blood flow in laser-treated tissue (mean =1.11±.10 cc/min/gm before laser; .71±.19 cc/min/gm after laser) was reduced as compared to blood flow in control tissue (mean=1.12±.15 cc/min/gm before laser; 1.25±.22 cc/min/gm after laser). Regional myocardial systolic shortening (11.32%±3.82% before laser; 7.49%±2.86% after laser) was decreased by 33%. During simultaneous reversible ligation of the LAD and LCCA for 2 min, when intramyocardial channels represented the only tissue access for the injected microspheres, blood flow in laser-treated tissue was not increased above that of the control non-lasered tissue. However, regional blood flow was greater in laser-treated ischemic tissue (mean=.61±.12 cc/min/gm) than in untreated ischemic areas (mean=.04±.03 cc/min/gm) when left ventricular pressure (LVP) was acutely elevated (mean SLVP=207.0±16.1 mmHg). Using these measurements, a model is proposed to predict regional systolic pressure gradients between the left ventricular cavity and coronary intramyocardial vasculature required to permit restoration of blood flow to ischemic myocardium. We conclude that improved perfusion via laser-induced intramyocardial channels does not occur in otherwise normal myocardium exposed to acute coronary ligation and only small improvements in perfusion are noted when LVP is significantly elevated. Consideration of further clinical application of this approach is seriously cautioned awaiting additional experimental studies.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Geschwindigkeiten der Polymerisationen unter dem Einfluß vorbestrahlter PMMA-Filme und die Geschwindigkeiten der entsprechenden unkatalysierten Polymerisationen dieser Monomeren sind beinahe nicht unterscheidbar. Diese Beobachtung steht mit der berechneten Geschwindigkeit eines bimolekularen Zerfalles von Radikalen in mit Monomerem gequollenen Polymerfilmen in Übereinstimmung. Die Radikale verschwinden ebenfalls schnell, wenn das Monomere langsam auf die Filme destilliert wird. Fügt man das Monomere in Form einer wäßrigen Emulsion hinzu, so werden die Geschwindigkeiten von den Diffusionen des Monomeren in die Filme und von kleinen Radikalen aus den Filmen gleich, so daß ein Teil der Radikalaktivität in die Emulsion entkommt, wo er eine sehr langlebige Emulsionspolymerisation initiiert.
    Notes: The rates of polymerisation of styrene and vinyl acetate under the influence of preirradiated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) film are almost indistinguishable from the corresponding uncatalysed rates of these monomers. This observation is consistent with the calculated rate of bimolecular decay of radicals in a polymer film swollen with monomer. The radicals disappear rapidly even if the monomer is distilled slowly on to the film. If the monomer is added in the form of an aqueous emulsion the rates of the diffusions of the monomer into the film and of small radicals out of the film are so balanced that a proportion of the radical activity escapes into the emulsion where it initiates a very long-lived emulsion polymerisation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Kinetik der Emulsionspolymerisation von Styrol, die durch den Einfluß von vorbestrahlten Filmen von PMMA angeregt wurde, ist untersucht worden. Die Bruttoreaktionsgeschwindigkeit war von der Anzahl von Radikalen in den Filmen unabhängig. Nach einer Induktionszeitperiode folgte die Polymerisation einem SMITH-EWART-Fall-II-Mechanismus. Die ARRHENIUSfaktoren der Wachstumsgeschwindigkeitskonstanten waren 8-10 Kcal./Mol und 107-109 l Mol-1 sec-1. Die mittlere Aktivierungsenergie der Übertragungsreaktionen, die den Polymerisationsgrad bestimmen, war 11-13 Kcal/Mol.
    Notes: The kinetics of the emulsion polymerisation of styrene initiated by previously gammairradiated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films have been investigated. The rate of polymerisation was independent of the number of radicals in the film. After an induction period the polymerisation followed a SMITH-EWART Case II mechanism. The ARRHENIUS factors for the propagation rate constant were 8-10 kcal./mole and 107-109 l./mole sec. The average activation energy of the transfer reactions which regulated the degree of polymerisation was 11-13 kcal./mole.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Anwendbarkeit der Trübungstitrationsmethode zur Analyse von Polymermischungen wurde an bekannten Mischungen untersucht. Die Methode war, wenn Mischungen von Block- oder Pfropfcopolymeren mit Homopolymeren benutzt wurden, in drei von vier Versuchen nicht einmal halbquantitativ.Elektronenmikroskopische Aufnahmen von Proben der Suspension, die während der Trübungstitrationen der Polymerlösungen entnommen wurden, zeigten, daß die Voraussetzung einer einheitlichen Teilchengröße oder einer einfachen geometrischen Teilchenform nicht gegeben ist.
    Notes: The validity of turbidimetric titration in the analysis of polymer mixtures was tested using mixtures of known composition. In some cases, which included three out of four mixtures of block or graft copolymers with homopolymers, the method was not even semiquantitative.Electron micrographs of samples of the suspension taken during titration of single polymer solutions show that assumptions of uniform size or regular geometrical shape of the particles are invalid.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Beschleunigung der Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit von mit γ-Strahlen bestrahltem Styrol und Vinylacetat durch Zusatz von Polymethacrylsäuremethylester wurde untersucht. Die gefundenen G-Werte von reinem Styrol (0,46 Radikale/100 eV.) und von reinem Vinylacetat (5,7) entsprechen den Werten früherer Bearbeiter. Unsere Versuche zeigten, daß der „aromatische Schutz“ von Styrol gegenüber bestrahltem Polymethacrylsäuremethylester bedeutungslos ist.Radiochemische Bestimmungen der Methacrylsäureestergehalte von Blockpolymeren, die durch Bestrahlung von Lösungen von Polymethacrylsäuremethylester in Vinylacetathergestellt wurden, zeigten, daß ca. 70% der Copolymeren sich durch Hauptkettenspaltung des Polymethacrylsäureesters und den Abbruch der wachsenden Vinylacetatketten durch Disproportionierung oder Übertragungsreaktion bilden. Der Rest der Copolymeren kann auf Kombination von wachsenden Vinylacetatketten, Pfropfungen an den Polymethacrylsäuremethylester oder auf Seitengruppenspaltungen zurückgeführt werden.
    Notes: The acceleration of the polymerisations of γ-irradiated styrene and vinyl acetate by added polymethyl methacrylate has been examined. G values of 0.46 radicals/100eV. for pure styrene and 5.7 for pure vinyl acetate are in agreement with those of previous workers. It was shown that styrene does not exert any significant “aromatic protection” over irradiated polymethyl methacrylate.Radiochemical assays of the methyl methacrylate content of the block-copolymers formed in irradiated solutions of polymethyl methacrylate in vinylacetate showed that ca. 70% arose from main chain scission of polymethyl methacrylate with the growing vinyl acetate chains terminating by disproportionation or transfer. The remainder could have arisen from vinyl acetate chains terminating by combination, grafting to the polymethyl methacrylate or side chain scission.
