  • delayed neurological sequelae from ethylene Glycol Diethylene Glycol and methanol poisonings
    Clinical Toxicology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Nandi J Reddy, Madhuri Sudini, Lionel D Lewis
    Abstract:

    Introduction. Ethylene Glycol, Diethylene Glycol and methanol are widely available chemicals and are found in a variety of common household products including antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, brake fluid and lubricants. Following ingestion of these Glycols and methanol, patients frequently develop an early neurological syndrome consisting of inebriation, ataxia, and if severe, seizures and coma. Though uncommon, a neurological syndrome may also develop as a delayed complication. Methods. Using Pub Med 438 references were identified of which 45 were relevant. Features. Ethylene Glycol poisoning has produced cranial nerve deficits (usually VII nerve dysfunction) after a delay of 5–20 days, Parkinsonism and cerebral edema. Diethylene Glycol ingestion has been associated with the development of optic nerve injury, cranial nerve deficits, quadraparesis and peripheral neuropathy. Methanol poisoning has led to Parkinsonism and polyneuropathy. Mechanisms of toxicity. Oxalate crystal deposition likely causes t...

  • synthesis and properties of biodegradable poly butylene succinate co Diethylene Glycol succinate copolymers
    Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jianbing Zeng, Caili Huang, Ling Jiao, Xi Lu, Yuzhong Wang, Xiuli Wang
    Abstract:

    Diethylene Glycol was incorporated into poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) to form biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-co-Diethylene Glycol succinate) (P(BS-co-DEGS)) copolymer through a two-step procedure of esterification and polycondensation from succinic acid with 1,4-butanediol and Diethylene Glycol. The chemical structure of P(BS-co-DEGS) was confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR). The effect of incorporated DEGS content on the molecular weight, thermal properties, crystallization behaviors, and hydrophilicity of the copolymers was investigated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), and water contact angle. The mechanical properties and hydrolytic degradation behaviors of P(BS-co-DEGS) were also studied. The results suggest that with an increase of DEGS content, the crystallizability and degree of crystallinity of the copolymers decreased, while the crystal stru...
