A study of the acid lability and acute toxicity of dimethoxymethane in rats
No full textThe pH stability and acute oral toxicity of dimethoxymethane (DMM) in rats were studied, In in vitro studies, DMM was found to be stable in artificial gastric juice at pH 2.5 and above but readily hydrolyzed at pH2 and below, with 1 mole of DMM producing approximately 1 mole of formaldehyde and 2 moles of methanol. DMM incubated in sealed, excised stomachs appeared to equilibrate with the external incubation fluid over a 24-hour period without significant hydrolysis, In the toxicity study, three groups of female rats (n = 5) were administered, by gavage, phosphate-buffered saline (control), DMM (31 mmoles/kg body weight [bw]/day), or methanol (MeOH) (30 mmoles/kg bw/day), respectively, for 3 consecutive days and then sacrificed on day 5, Transient ataxia lasting about 30 minutes was observed in animals following DMM administration, increased urine volume was observed in the DMM group at the end of days 4 and 5, Markedly elevated level of formic acid was present in the urine of the MeOH group at days 1, 2, and 3, but not in the DMM group, Urinary ascorbic acid levels were increased In the DMM group on days 1, 2 and 3, and returned to baseline level at days 4 and 5, Microscopic examination detected no abnormal histological changes in the liver and kidneys of MeOH- or DMM-treated animals, No treatment effects were observed on the following endpoints: organ weights (liver, heart, thymus, kidneys), serum corticosterone, serum chemistry profile, hematology, hepatic phase 1 and phase 2 mixed-function oxidase activities, hepatic and serum thiobarbituric acid, hepatic glutathione, urinary protein, and urinary N-acetylglucosaminidase activity, These observations suggested that hydrolysis of DMM in the stomach required a gastric acidity below pH 2,5, At higher DW, intact DMM readily penetrated the stomach and therefore likely reached the circulation and other body tissues. There was no significant hydrolysis of orally administered DMM, and the acute effects were limited to transient ataxia and biochemical responses in the liver.PT: J; CR: *ACGIH, THRESH VAL TLVS CHEM *CCAC, 1993, GUID CAR US EXP AN *HSDB, 1998, HSDB *IARC, 1995, IARC MON EV CARC RIS, V62, P217 *US EPA, 1998, CHEM HAZ DAT AV STUD *USP, 1995, US PHARM, V23 BENINI L, 1995, GUT, V36, P825 BURCHELL B, 1981, METHOD ENZYMOL, V77, P169 BURKE MD, 1985, BIOCHEM PHARMACOL, V34, P3337 CHIVERTON SG, 1989, ALIMENT PHARM THERAP, V3, P403 CHU I, 1992, ORGANOHALOGEN COMPOU, V10, P17 DODGE L, 1994, NTIDDE94006949 GARGAS ML, 1989, TOXICOL APPL PHARM, V98, P87 GRADY S, 1986, J ANAL TOXICOL, V10, P1 HABIG WH, 1974, J BIOL CHEM, V249, P7130 JONES AW, 1993, CLIN CHEM, V39, P1837 KAO CH, 1998, J NUCL MED, V39, P1798 KONTUREK JW, 1993, SCAND J GASTROENTERO, V28, P401 LUBET RA, 1985, MUTAT RES, V142, P127 MAHE S, 1995, GASTROEN CLIN BIOL, V19, P20 MARICQ MM, 1998, 216 AM CHEM SOC NAT, V43, P578 MCLAUCHLAN G, 1989, GUT, V30, P573 MCMARTIN KE, 1980, AM J MED, V68, P414 POON R, 1992, P 4 ANN M INT SOC ST, P146 POON R, 1994, J BIOCHEM TOXICOL, V9, P297 POON R, 1995, INHAL TOXICOL, V7, P1195 ROGERS JM, 1993, TERATOLOGY, V47, P175 SAKANASHI TM, 1996, TERATOLOGY, V54, P198 SCHENKMAN JB, 1967, MOL PHARMACOL, V3, P113 TOMILINA LA, 1984, GIG TR PROF ZABOL, V6, P27 VANHERCK H, 1991, LAB ANIM, V25, P325 VINET B, 1987, CLIN CHEM, V33, P2204 YAGI K, 1982, LIPID PEROXIDE BIOL, P232; NR: 33; TC: 4; J9: INT J TOXICOL; PG: 7; GA: 331DTSource type: Electronic(1

本論文企圖以文化歷史地理學觀點﹐詮釋臺灣地圖史中地圖的文化意涵。
研究中﹐以臺灣古地圖上的山形符號為個案﹐嘗試由山形符號的外在形式
﹐理解文化群空間觀點之內在意涵。 方法論採用文化景觀探究法﹐由
觀念､技術､工具三方面解明地圖的文化意涵。在資料處理上﹐將地圖視
為一個資訊庫﹐著手完成古地圖文獻目錄與資料整理工作﹐並比較國內外
地圖史的研究與發展﹐認為：古地圖或地圖史的研究﹐應放在歷史地理學
的研究架構中。 首先﹐筆者將臺灣地圖史分成歐殖､清領､日治等三
個時期﹐收錄古地圖61幅﹐將臺灣山形符號歸納成三大類六小類。 接
著指出﹐地圖是地理思維下的產品﹐文化人以不同的觀點繪製地圖﹐如果
空間觀點不同﹐就會產生不同的空間概念。而三個文化群的空間觀點隨著
山形符號製圖法的進步﹐人看世界的觀點也愈來愈提高。 最後提到﹐
三個文化群擁有獨立的製圖技術﹐但製圖技術並未交互傳承﹐因此﹐臺灣
地圖史其實是一個製圖技術產生斷層的歷史﹔唯一能夠在三個文化群之間
交互流通的東西﹐就是地理資訊的承用與地圖成品的保存。 此外﹐通
過地圖的歷史性研究﹐本論文對地圖進行一個深切的反省與再認識。認為
地圖乃是符號的景觀化﹐並提出地圖的虛構現實性､地圖的完形性質及地
圖的規則﹐進一步的說明地圖反映了時代變遷下的人類世界觀。最後﹐筆
者亦提出地圖的人文性觀念﹐論述製圖技術科學化的省思､地圖與藝術的
歷史關係﹐以及地圖與審美等議題。 總結來說﹐臺灣地圖史中地圖的
文化意涵﹐是以文化群觀點為基礎的意涵﹐山形符號就是這種意涵的具體
表現形式。文化群有不同的空間觀點﹐象徵著人的主體性的發揮﹐人可以
從地圖的創作中建立主體性﹐激發人類的生命活力。
MAPS IN CULTURAL HISTOICAL GEOGRAPHIC VIEW:CULTURAL
INTERPRETATION WITH EARLY MAPS OF TAIWAN Abstract In the
article, the author endeavor to interpret the cultural meaning
of the maps in the map history of Taiwan from the view of
cultural historical geography. Taking the mountain symbols in
the early maps of Taiwan as a study case. The author intend to
interpret the metaphor meaning of the spatial view of cultural
groups from the forms of mountain symbol. As far as the
methodology is concerned, the author apply cultural landscape
approach, analyzing of idea, technique and instrument, as for
the disposal of the data. Maps are regarded as a repository of
information. By editing early maps, arranging these data, and
comparing the development of the research of map history both
inside and outside of Taiwan, the author concludes that the
study of early map or map history should be put into a framework
of historical geography. First, the map history of Taiwan are
divided into three periods: European, Chin's, and Japanese
ruling. The mountain symbols of the 61 early maps of Taiwan are
classified into three major groups and six minor ones. The
author also point out that maps are the products of geographical
thinking. Cultural man drawn map from different views. The
modification of mountain symbols in different stapes was
following the change of the spatial view of different cultural
groups. People's view toward the world also progressing.
Finally, the author points out that all of the three cultural
groups has their own map-making technique; however, it seems to
be no fact in continuity in the map history of Taiwan. But, the
geographical information as the conserved early maps were
continuously used by the following cultural groups. Through
the historical research of maps, the author considers maps as
the symbols making landscape. Also, the author brings up the
reality of fiction, the idea of humanity of map and discusses
the scientific awareness for map-making skill, the historical
link between map and art, and map versus appreciation. So, it
clarifies a point their the subjective position of man in his
perceptivity world by his production of maps. Man can built up
his subjectivity in order to create inspire human vitality.
