Carboxymethylcellulose(CMC) which is water soluble at room temperature was manufactured from the cellulose material in this study. Experimental parameters were reaction temperature, time and concentration of NaOH and monochloroacetic acid. CMC was tested for solubility, degree of substitution(D.S.) and tensile strength. The surface structure of CMC fiber was tested using scanning electron microscope(SEM). CMC manufactured from viscose rayon was affected by the chemical concentration rather then the reaction time and temperature. Also, degree of substitution is closely related to the solubility of the CMC.

This study was carried out to prevent the abdominal re-adhesions in dogs. Two randomized groups of dogs were subjected to scratch the ileal serosa. Routine abdominal closure was performed on two groups. Second laparotomy was performed one month later for the scoring of the abhesion formation. The adhesions were separated physically after the scoring of the adhesions. In control goup saline was instilled into abdomen and in treated group 1% sodium carboxymethylcellulose(SCMC) solution was instilled into abdomen before the abdominal closure. Third laparotomy was performed another month later to evaulate the adhesions. Reduced adhesion formation following the instillation of 1% SCMC was reported. 1% SCMC is recommended to prevent the re-adhesions as well as adhesions.

This study was performed to compare the effects of carboxymethylcellulose (CMCE), chondroitin sulfate (Chondron), and carboxymethylchitosan (CMCH) on preventing intraperitoneal adhesion. As a result, the tensile strength of adhesions formed between the parietal peritoneum and the ileal serosa was significantly decreased in the groups of three different kinds of anti-adhesive agents. The distance of adhesion site was slightly increased in the treatment groups comparing control group. In the CMCH group, the inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen hyperplasia, and neovascularization were significantly lower than those of control group. It was observed that the damage at intestinal serosa was significantly decreased in the chondron and CMCH groups comparing control group. Therefore CMCH may be useful as a anti-adhesive agent in the prevention of intraperitoneal adhesion in rats.

복강장기의 유착을 방지하기 위하여 토끼의 공장에 인공창상을 일으키고 sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC)와 dextran 70을 단일 혹은 합제로 사용하여 이들의 유착방지 효능을 조사하였고, 아울러 체중의 변화를 조사함으로써 이들을 사용하였을 때 일어날 수 있는 부작용을 검토하였다. 인공창상에 의한 유착형성 유발빈도와 정도를 알아보기 위하여 토끼를 전신마취시킨 다음 개복수술을 시행하여 공장의 장막에 2cm 폭으로 3곳에 abrasion또는 electrocautery를 실시하였던 바, 이러한 인공창상들이 유의성있는 높은 유착형성율(abrasion, 70%; electrocatuery, 72.7%)과 심한 유착정도를 일으켰으며(abrasion, 1.80; electrocatuery, 2.44), 체중의 감소를 가져왔다(abrasion, -2.5%; electrocautery; 9.9%). Abrasion보다는 electrocatuery에 의한 자극이 더욱 심한 유착정도 및 체중감소를 보였으며 심할 경우 폐사를 일으키기도 하였다. 이러한 유착을 효과적으로 방지하기 위하여 1, 2, 3%의 SCMC 및 6, 10%의 dextran 70 용액을 단일 또는 합제를 만들어 abrasion방법으로 공장에 인공창상을 일으킨 토끼의 복강내에 주입하고 수술 4주후에 복강을 열어 유착형성율을 조사하였던 바, 1% SCMC와 10% dextran 70의 합제(Synthetic soln)에서 가장 낮은 유착형성율(0%)을 보여 유착방지 효과가 가장 뚜렸하였다. 아울러 수술 4주일후 체중의 변화도 유의하게 일으키지 아니 하였다. 그러므로 유착방지제로서 synthetic solution을 사용하는 것이 가장 효과적이라고 사려된다.

Bioluminescence of Photobacterium phosphoreum has been used for the detection of pollutants in the environment. Immobilization method was used to maintain the stability of bioluminescence of P. phosphoreum. The carboxymethylcellulose was investigated to find out whether it was suitable for the immobilization of P. phosphoreum as a matrix without disturbing the bioluminescence emission. A maintenance of bioluminescence was determined from the P. phosphoreum immobilized on the various concentrations of carboxymethylcellulose. A relatively high bioluminescence intensity was shown with immobilized cells on 1%(w/v) carboxymethylcellulose. The effect of carboxymethylcellulose concentrations on the sensitivity of Crcompounds including $Na_{2}CrO_{4}$, $K_{2}CrO_{4}$, $CrO_{3}$, CrK$(SO_4)_{2}$ and $CrCl_{3}$ to the bioluminescence intensity. The calculated $EC_{50}$ showed that the linear relations between such substances and bioluminesence intensity were established.

The effectiveness of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) and deztran in the prevention of adhesion formation on the uterus and embryo collection in rabbits was elucidated. Following induction of adhesion on uterus and uterine horns by abrasion and retrograde flushing of embryos in gonadotropins primed rabbits, the solutions of saline (for control), 1% SCMC, 10% dextran and a synthetic solution of 1% SCNC and 10% dextran in saline were infused in the abdominal cavity at the dose of 5 ml/kg of body weight. The average percentage of adhesion was 11.1, 28.6, 41.7 and 73.3% in the rabbits infused with the synthetic, 1% SCMC, 10% dextran and saline solutions, respectively. The synthetic solution was more effective than other solutions in the rabbits. The average number and recovery rate of embryos were significantly (P<0.01) higher in the synthetic solution group than 1% SCMC, 10% dextran or saline solution groups. Among the collected embryos in the groups, the distribution of the normal embryos was higher in the synthetic solution group (99%) and the 10% dextran solution group (95.7%) than the 1% SCMC solution group (78.4%) and saline (66.2%). Theretore, a synthetic solution which is combined with 1% SCMC and 10% deztran in saline can be effectively used for the prevention of adhesion formation after uterine surgery and embryo collection.

The effectiveness of sodium carboxymethylcellulose(SCMC) and dextran 70 in the prevention of adhesion formation in abdominal cavity of rabbits following artificial injuries was elucidated and the effects -of these medicines on blood pictures were also examined. After abrasion treatment on jejunum in gonadotropins primed rabbits, 1, 2 and 3% of SCMC solutions, 6 and 10% dextran 70 solutions and a synthetic solution of 1% SCMC and loft dextran 70 in 0.9% saline solution were infused into the abdominal cavity. Four weeks later the abdominal cavities were reopened under general anesthesia. The synthetic solution showed the highest adhesion reduction rate(100%), while 1% SCMC, 6 and loft dextran solutions showed no significantly evident effect of adhesion prevention. The SCMC solutions showed better adhesion reduction effect than dextran 70 solutions. After infusion of these adhesion preventive medicines, the changes of total leucocytes, erythrocytes, lymphocytes, PCV, plasma fibrinogen and protein contents were examined. No remarkable difference in blood pictures was shown between the synthetic solution and the other medicines. Therefore, it can be suggested that the synthetic solution of 1% SCMC and 10% dextran 70 in 0.9% saline solution at dose of 5$m\ell$/kg of body weight is prominently effective in the prevention of postoperative adhesion formation and wolf be safe in animals and human.

The 2% Sodium carboxymethylcellulose(CMC) and 10% Dextran 70 solutions were evaluated for the prevention of postoperative adhesion formation in rats. The artificial injuries(2cm longitudinal incision and suture) were performed on the colon and uterine horns in the rats. 2% CMC and 10% dextran solutions were applied to the injured surfaces and peritoneal cavity in the rats. Ten days later, there were significant difference(p<0.01) in the prevention of adhesion formation between control and treated groups(2% CMC and 10% dextran 70), but the,$\boxUl$ was no significant difference between 2% CMC and 10% dextran 70 treated groups. The increment rate of body weight in the 10% dextran 70 treated group was lower than 2% CMC and control groups(p<0.05.). A positive correlation was found between the severity of adhesion formation and the plasma fibrinogen concentration in blood.

Carboxymethylcellulose(CMC) which is water-soluble fiber was manufactured by mercerization and etherification in the earlier study. Experimental parameters were conversion time for each step, concentration of reagent and temperature. To know the presence of functional group, CMC was analyzed by FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy. Ethanol was recovered using evaporator and purity of ethanol analyzed by GC-MASS was 97% and 83% after mercerization and etherification respectively. For the pilot plant, if CMC is folded by 40 times it showed maximum efficiency. Maximum solubility was obtained when the ratio of NaOH and MCA is 3 : 4.5.
