    Notes: Abstract. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) of the lung is a very rare disease. There are obvious discrepancies in the literature concerning the appearance of LAM on CT scans of the lung. This study adds the imaging findings of 11 patients and demonstrates how the imaging findings changed over time in four patients. Twenty-two CT examinations, and radiographs that had been obtained close to the CT examinations, of 11 patients with LAM confirmed by open lung biopsy were retrospectively evaluated with particular attention to the size of cystic lesions and wall thickness. Furthermore the CT scans were analysed for the type of pulmonary infiltration process and its distribution, presence or absence of pleural effusion, pneumothorax and lymph node enlargement. Clinical and CT follow-up studies were available in four patients. The CT scans revealed an increase in the interstitial pattern in all patients. Architectural distortion was seen in two patients and cystic lesions were present in all. The size of the cysts varied from small lesions to bullous emphysema. The cystic lesions revealed a wall thickness up to 2 mm but a wall was not perceptible in all. Pneumothorax was seen in only two patients; pleural effusion was seen in two patients. CT examination of patients with LAM reveals neither a uniform nor a pathognomonic appearance. In the early stages of LAM or in cases with interstitial changes the differential diagnosis of centrilobular emphysema or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis seems to be more difficult than most authors believe.

    Notes: The manner in which a series of silcarboranylene-siloxane polymers behave in air at elevated temperatures was investigated by thermogravimetric, isothermogravimetric, and differential thermal analyses techniques. Results indicate that methyl pendant groups on the polymers undergo thermal and oxidative degradations at temperatures under 600°C. Final weight losses of the polymers, however, are significantly lower than that shown by dimethylsiloxanes. The reduced volatility is attributed to the inhibition of thermooxidation by the m-carboranylene group in the polymer molecules. This protective influence decreases apparently as the distance between the carborane nucleus and the methyl groups increases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Unter Verwendung von O-Trimethylsilylcellulose als reaktivem Zwischenprodukt wurde die homogene Sulfatierung von Cellulose mit SO3 bzw. CISO3H untersucht. Sulfatierungsgrad (DSs) und Substituentenverteilung im Anhydroglucosering ließen sich im DSs-Bereich zwischen 0,2 und 2,5 über den DS an Silylethergruppen einerseits, die Art und Einsatzmenge des Sulfatierungsmittels andererseits steuern, wobei wasserlösliche, wenig abgebaute Cellulosesulfate ab DSs ≥ 0,25 erhalten werden. Die Sulfatierung erfolgte sowohl nach Isolierung und Wiederauflösung der O-Trimethylsilylcellulose, als auch, ausgehend von einer Suspension aktivierter Cellulose, durch Silylierung und nachfolgende Sulfatierung im gleichen Reaktionssystem. Offensichtlich wirkt die Silylethergruppe als reaktive Gruppe bei der nachfolgenden Sulfatierung, indem die vorher silylierten Positionen im Anhydroglucosering bevorzugt sulfatiert werden und der erreichbare DSs durch den vorher eingestellten Silylierungsgrad begrenzt wird. Bei der Homogensulfatierung von Trimethylsilylcellulosen wurde eine Reaktivitätsabstufung der Silylgruppen in den verschiedenen Positionen entsprechend C-6 〉 C-2 ≫ C-3 beobachtet.
    Notes: Sulphation of cellulose was performed in an homogeneous aprotic system with SO3 or CISO3H, resp., via O-trimethylsilyl celluloses as reactive intermediates. Na-cellulose sulphates completely soluble in water and showing small chain degradation could be obtained at DSs≥ 0.25. The DSs in the range between 0.2 and 2.5 as well as the distribution of the sulphate half-ester groups within the AGU were regulated via the DSsi at one hand, the type and amount of sulphating agent at the other. Sulphation was performed either with the isolated and redissolved trimethylsilyl cellulose in N,N-dimethylformamide or tetrahydrofurane, or starting with an activated cellulose suspension, by achieving silylation and subsequent sulphation in one system of reaction. Obviously, the silyl group acts as a reactive group in subsequent sulphation, and the sites previously silylated are preferentially sulphated in the subsequent step of reaction, and the DSs is limited by the degree of silylation (DSsi) previously obtained. The homogeneous sulphation of trimethysilyl cellulose indicates a reactivity of silyl ether groups in the order of C-6 〉 C-2 ≫ C-3.

    Notes: Polysiloxanes containing carboranylbutyl and methyl pendant groups were investigated, to determine their resistance to thermal decomposition when heated in air. Results indicate that the copolymers degrade through Si—C as well as Si—O bond rupture. At 300°C. thermooxidative scission of pendant groups was the predominant reaction. whereas Si—O and Si—C bond rupture occurred at 500°C. Variations in the behavior of the copolymers studied suggest that the carborane nucleus provides some inhibiting influence on their thermal decomposition. This is mainly attributed to steric hindrance effects rather than polarity factors. Chain extension with tin octoate caused a reduction of thermal stability, probably because of the addition of Sn—O bonds to the molecules.

    Notes: This study covers the results of synthesis and investigation of thermal stabilities of several organometallosiloxanes and organometal compounds containing Group IV elements. Investigations indicate, in general, that heat resistance is related to the dissociation energies of the M—O bonds, the number of organic groups connected to the metal atom, and the structure of the molecule as a whole. More specifically, the substitution of Ge—O and Sn—O bonds for some Si—O linkages in organosiloxanes produces a reduction in heat stability. The influence of the Ge—O bond to decrease the resistance of siloxanes is less than that of the Sn—O linkage; an increase in the number of Sn—O linkages producing a corresponding decrease in heat stability of the organosiloxane. The resistances of the germoxysiloxanes to heat degradation are less than that which would be expected from indications given by the relative stabilities of more simple organometallic compounds.
