Abstract
A glycopolymer, poly(3-O-methacroyl-5,6-O-isopropylidene-1,2-O-(S)-trichloroethylidene-α-d-galactofuranose) (PMIPTEG) was synthesized from the sugar-carrying methacrylate monomer, 3-O-methacroyl-5,6-O-isopropylidene-1,2-O-(S)-trichloroethylidene-α-d-galactofuranose (MIPTEG) via conventional free radical polymerization with AIBN in 1,4-dioxane. The structures of glycomonomer and their polymers were confirmed by UV-vis, FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, GPC, TG/DTG-DTA, DSC, and SEM techniques. SEM images showed that PMIPTEG had a straight-chain length structure. On the other hand, the thermal decomposition kinetics of polymer were investigated by means of thermogravimetric analysis in dynamic nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates. The apparent activation energies for thermal decomposition of the PMIPTEG were calculated using the Kissinger, Kim-Park, Tang, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Friedman methods and were found to be 100.15, 104.40, 102.0, 102.2, 103.2 and 99.6 kJ/mol, respectively. The most likely process mechanism related to the thermal decomposition stage of PMIPTEG was determined to be a Dn deceleration type in terms of master plots results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric motility studies are frequently conducted with anaesthetized animal models. Some studies on the same animal species have reported differences in vagal control of the stomach that could not be explained solely by slightly different experimental conditions. A possible limitation in the comparison between similar studies relates to the use of different anaesthetic agents. Furthermore, anaesthetic effects may also limit generalizations between mechanistic studies of gastric function and the gastric function of conscious animals. In the present study, we used the [(13)C]-breath test following a liquid mixed-nutrient test meal (Ensure), 1 ml) with the aim to investigate the rate of gastric emptying in animals that were either conscious or anaesthetized with either Inactin or urethane. METHODS One week after determining the maximum (13)CO(2) concentration, time to peak [(13)C] recovery and gastric half emptying time in control, conscious rats, we repeated the experiment in the same rats anaesthetized with Inactin or urethane. KEY RESULTS Our data show that Inactin anaesthesia prolonged the time to peak [(13)C] recovery but did not significantly reduce the maximum (13)CO(2) concentration nor delay gastric half emptying time. Conversely, urethane anaesthesia resulted in a significant slowing of all parameters of gastric emptying as measured by the maximum (13)CO(2) concentration, time to peak [(13)C] recovery and half emptying time. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Our data indicate that Inactin(R) anaesthesia does not significantly affect gastric emptying while urethane anaesthesia profoundly impairs gastric emptying. We suggest that Inactin(R), not urethane, is the more suitable anaesthetic for gastrointestinal research.

Abstract
alpha-Chloralose is an anesthetic characterized by its ability to maintain animals in physiological conditions though immobilized and anesthetized. In addition, alpha-chloralose induces a loss of consciousness with little influence on either pain response or cardiovascular reflexes. The pharmacological mechanisms of alpha-chloralose's actions are poorly understood. In vitro experiments have demonstrated alpha-chloralose enhances GABA(A) receptor function, which may underlie its anesthetic effect. However, how alpha-chloralose affects hippocampal synaptic function and neuronal network synchronization is unknown. In the present study, we performed electrophysiological recordings to examine the effects of alpha-chloralose on synaptic transmission, tetanic stimulation-induced gamma oscillations (30-80 Hz) and neuronal receptor function in rat hippocampal slices and dissociated hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. The results demonstrated that alpha-chloralose (30-100 microM) diminished tetanic stimulation-induced gamma oscillations without affecting single stimulation-induced field potential responses. In single, dissociated hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, alpha-chloralose activated GABA(A) receptors at a high concentration while it potentiated GABA(A) receptor-mediated currents at low concentrations. However, alpha-chloralose did not affect glutamate-, glycine-, or ACh-induced currents. Slice-patch recordings revealed alpha-chloralose enhanced GABAergic leak current and prolonged the decay constant of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs). It is concluded that alpha-chloralose suppresses hippocampal gamma oscillations without significantly affecting basic synaptic transmission or ionotropic glutamate, choline and glycine receptor function. Enhancement of GABAergic leak current and prolongation of GABAergic sIPSCs by alpha-chloralose likely underlie its disruption of neuronal network synchronization in the hippocampus.

Abstract
Mice that lack or over-express a gene of interest are important tools for unraveling gene function. The determination of single nephron function by micropuncture or precise determination of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by inulin clearance method require experiments under anesthesia. A good anesthetic protocol should allow for reasonable and stable glomerular and tubular function. The aim of this study was to compare the commonly used thiobutabarbital (TBB) versus alpha-chloralose (CHL) anesthesia with regard to absolute levels and the stability of blood pressure, heart rate, and kidney function. Male CD1 mice were anesthetized with TBB (100 mg/kg body weight i.p.) or CHL (120 mg/kg body weight i.p.), plus ketamine (100 mg/kg body weight i.m.) given to every mouse for analgesia. After preparation for clearance experiments, two 30-min urine collections were performed at periods 1 and 2 (P1 and P2). It was observed that heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure did not differ between TBB ( n=9) vs. CHL ( n=9) and were stable through P1 and P2. In CHL, GFR as well as fractional excretion of fluid, Na(+) and K(+) were stable from P1 to P2 (P1: 190+/-15 microl/min, 1.6+/-0.2%, 0.7+/-0.1%, 35+/-5%; percent change in P2: 1+/-6, 26+/-10, 29+/-15, 6+/-10 respectively). In TBB, GFR was significantly greater vs. CHL in P1 and did not significantly change in P2 (246+/-8 microl/min, p<0.05; percent change: -6.5+/-4). Fractional excretion of fluid, Na(+) and K(+) were not significantly different vs. CHL in P1, but significantly increased in P2 (P1: 1.5+/-0.2%, 1.1+/-0.2%, 31+/-3%; percent change in P2: 122+/-23, 128+/-21 and 29+/-6 respectively; each p<0.05 vs. P1). In conclusion, mice under both anesthetic regimens present reasonable and stable blood pressure and reasonable kidney function, but kidney reabsorption is more stable under CHL than under TBB anesthesia, which may facilitate study of the response in kidney function to acute interventions.

Abstract
1,2-O-(R)-Trichloroethylidene-beta-D-mannofuranose (1) was obtained from the reaction of D-mannose with chloral. Reaction of 1 with potassium tert-butoxide (3 Mequiv) gave the thermodynamically stable 1,2,5-O-orthodichloroacetyl-beta-D-mannofuranose as the sole product whereas 1.5 Mequiv of reagent gave the kinetically controlled 1,2,3-O-orthodichloroacetyl-beta-D-mannofuranose (10) as the main product. Orthoester 10 gave the 5,6-isopropylidene derivative, which was also obtained from the reaction of 5,6-O-isopropylidene-1,2-O-(R)-trichloroethylidene-beta-D-mannofuranose with potassium tert-butoxide (1.5 Mequiv). These novel orthoesters are expected to prove useful as protecting groups and as building blocks in the formations of new mannofuranisidic units.

Abstract
Mice deficient for adenosine A1 receptors (A1AR) lack tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF). In vivo micropuncture experiments were performed under anesthesia in A1AR-deficient and wild-type littermate mice to study the effects of chronic absence of A1AR on fluid and Na(+) reabsorption along the nephron, as well as the functional consequences at the single-nephron level of the lack TGF. Evidence is provided for an A1AR-mediated tonic inhibition of Na(+) reabsorption in a water-impermeable segment of the loop of Henle, possibly the thick ascending limb. In contrast, proximal tubular reabsorption of fluid, Na(+) and K(+) was unaffected by the chronic absence of A1AR. Experiments in which artificial tubular fluid was added to free-flowing late-proximal tubules demonstrated an essential role of A1AR/TGF in the stabilization of fluid and Na(+) delivery to the distal nephron. Further, the occurrence of spontaneous oscillations of hydrostatic pressure in proximal tubule ( P(PT)) at a frequency of about 32 mHz depended on intact A1AR/TGF. In comparison, the normal, stabilizing reduction in P(PT) following the initial rise in P(PT) during sustained small increases in proximal tubular flow rate does not require A1AR/TGF; TGF-independent mechanisms appear to compensate in this regard for a lack of TGF under physiological conditions and the lack of TGF is unmasked only when supraphysiological flow rates overwhelm TGF-independent compensation.

Abstract
The preparation of 3,5-(E)-dieno-3,5,6,8-tetradeoxy-(S)-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-alpha-D-glycero-octo-1,4-furano-7-ulose starting from either 1,2-O-(S)-trichloroethylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranose (beta-chloralose) or 1,2-O-(S)-trichloroethylidene-alpha-D-galactofuranose (galactochloralose) and the preparation of methyl 3,5-(E)-dieno-3,5,6-trideoxy-(S)-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-alpha-D-glycero-hepta-1,4-furano-uronate starting from beta-chloralose are described. Endocyclic double bond formations were realised by the elimination of 3-acetoxy groups using DMF-sodium bicarbonate. This elimination was not successful when the starting compound was 1,2-O-(R)-trichloroethylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranose (alpha-chloralose), where the trichloromethyl group occupies the endo position.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of volume expansion for prandial/postprandial natriuresis, we first determined spontaneous daily NaCl, H2O, and diet turnover and Evans blue and inulin spaces in male Wistar rats on various high-salt diets. Second, we measured the time course of Na and water clearance in chloralose/ketamine anesthetized rats over 270 minutes after a single intragastric Na load (0, 290.4, or 581 micromol/100 g body weight). Finally, similar measurements were made during and after a local [NaCl] increase in the left carotid artery supplying the brain for 60 minutes. Daily NaCl, H2O, and diet intake per rat was 2 to 74 mmol, 13 to 223 ml, and 1.5 to 33 g, respectively. Only inulin space and plasma [Na] correlated with daily Na uptake (X; regressions Y = 0.02X + 15.13, N = 99, r2 = 0.0716, P = 0.02; and Y = 141.7 + 0.1005X, N = 179, r2 = 0.104, P < 0.0001, respectively). Under chloralose/ketamine anesthesia, 86% to 102% of the total (i.v. plus i.g.) Na load and some 50% of the unilaterally administered intracarotid Na were excreted. Chloralose/ketamine anesthesia is thus suitable for studies on Na balance mechanisms. Plasma [Na] is under cerebral control. Because of its immediate onset, this mechanism might be the principal determinant of prandial and postprandial natriuresis and hence for the systemic Na balance.

Abstract
The possible role of extracellular volume (ECV) expansion in prandial/postprandial natriuresis was evaluated in control, sham-operated (SO), and uninephrectomized (UNX) male Wistar rats fed a 0.64 (normal salt, NS) or 8 (high salt, HS) g% NaCl diet for seven days after UNX. We thus determined daily NaCl, diet, and water intake and Evans blue and inulin spaces on day 7. Finally, we determined Na and water clearance after a single i.g. Na load (581 micromol/100 g body weight) under chloralose/ketamine anesthesia in UNX and control HS rats. NaCl, diet, and water intakes were comparable beyond day 5. Plasma volume and ECV were similar in all groups. With NS diet, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in UNX was compensated but lower than that of SO rats (0.55 vs. 0.74 ml/min per 100 g body weight). Blood pressure (BP) was 111 mm Hg in SO controls and 112 mm Hg in the UNX group. After oral Na loading, BP rose in both groups and remained higher in UNX (134 vs. 126 mm Hg at 15 minutes, 130 vs. 118 mm Hg at 225 minutes). Cumulative Na and water excretions were similar (513 and 610 micromol/100 g body weight, 1.97 and 2.35 ml/100 g body weight in SO and UNX, respectively). Chronically salt-loaded UNX rats seem to maintain dietary Na balance by mechanism(s) other than volume expansion.
