    Studies in chemically modified celluloses. II. Some aspects of physical properties of chemically modified celluloses

    The changes in physical properties such as moisture regain, tensile strength, elongation at break, bursting strength, and resistance to abrasion of cellulose modified with different oxidizing agents such as dichromate-sulfuric acid, sodium hypochlorite in presence of leuco vat dyes, and potassium metaperiodate and of the corresponding products obtained as a result of reduction with sodium borohydride and those by oxidation with chlorous acid have been studied. Results are critically discussed in the light of existing knowledge on the changes that occur in the fine structure as well as in the chemical structure of cellulose during the mentioned modifications. It is pointed out that complex changes in physical properties of cotton cellulose brought about by chemical modification could hardly be evaluated and interpreted in terms of one or two physical or chemical parameters

    Studies in chemically modified celluloses. I. Oxidative susceptibility of chemically, modified cellulose

    The oxidative susceptibility to different oxidizing agents such as dichromateā€“sulfuric acid, dichromateā€“oxalic acid and sodium hypochlorite in presence of leuco Cibanone Orange R of cellulose oxidized with sodium metaperiodate and its corresponding borohydride-reduced product was studied and compared with that of cellulose. From the changes in the chemical properties of the oxidixed products, an attempt was made to study the mechanism of oxidation of periodate oxycellulose and sodium borohydride-reduced periodate oxycellulose with the above mentioned oxidizing agents

    We report a case of primary pulmonary Hodgkin's disease presenting as an endobronchial mass. Tissue diagnosis was made by microscopic examination following open thoracotomy and excision biopsy of the mass. The patient responded well to the chemotherapy regimen
