Ethylene glycol is one of the most common toxic alcohol ingestions requiring hemodialysis for treatment. With the FDA approval in 1997 of fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole), the indications for hemodialysis in addition to fomepizole for ethylene glycol poisoning have been examined in recent articles and case reports. Fomepizole, a competitive inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, binds to the same sit...

abstract in order to study the effect of using somaclonal variation on production of resistant lines to water deficit conditions on carrot (daucus carota l.), an experiment was carried out in department of biotechnology of all russian research institute of vegetable crops (raas) in 2008-2009. coated seeds of four carrot cultivars which are cultivated in iran including, monarch, nantes improved,...

A new methacrylate monomer with two propylene glycol groups on the side chain, di(propylene glycol) methyl ether (diPGMA), was synthesised and homo- co-polymerised for first time.

An amino acid type poly(ethylene glycol) is a useful tool for preparation of a bi- or multivalent poly(ethylene glycol) hybrid of bioactive peptides, but synthesis is problematic. The amino acid type poly(ethylene glycol) was prepared from poly(oxyethylene)diglycolic acid followed by introduction of a fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl group. The resulting product could be purified easily by LH-20 colu...

A device for automatically maintaining any desired concentration of triethylene or propylene glycol vapor in air is described. It can also be used to measure very rapidly the glycol content of room air. This instrument should greatly facilitate tests of the efficacy of glycol vapors in preventing air-borne infections.

Bioconsequences Section, Unilever Research Port Sunlight Laboratory, Port Sunlight, Wirral, Merseyside L62 4XN, U.K. Polyethylene glycols are an important group of polymers used in the manufacture of explosives, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the polyoxyethylene group is the hydrophilic head group of non-ionic surfactants such as the alcohol ethoxylates used in detergent formulatio...
