	abstract = {We recently reported the synthesis and testing of a new class of unimolecular micelles based on hyperbranched polyglycerols as second generation synthetic plasma expanders and as general drug delivery vehicles. A detailed biodistribution study of two derivatized hyperbranched polyglycerols of different molecular weights derivatized with hydrophobic groups and short poly(ethylene glycol) chains is reported in this article. In mice, these materials are nontoxic with circulation half-lives as high as 31 h, controllable by manipulating the molecular weight and the degree of PEG derivatization. Organ accumulation is low, presumably due to the "pegylation" effect. Thermal degradation and hydrolysis data suggest that these polymers are highly stable with a long shelf life, a major advantage for a pharmaceutical product. Degradation under acidic conditions has been observed for these polymers.},

	abstract = {Vapour pressure and excess partial molar enthalpy were measured at 25 degreesC for solutions of methanol in H2O and artificial serum solutions. The mole fraction range studied was from 5 x 10(-4) to 5 x 10(-3). From the vapour pressure data, the partial pressures were determined by the Barker{\textquoteright}s and Boissonnas{\textquoteright} methods. Various thermodynamic functions were then calculated from them. The curve-fitting (Barker{\textquoteright}s method) gave the osmotic coefficients very close to unity in all the cases, including serum solutions. The purely numerical method without resorting to any fitting function (Boissonnas{\textquoteright} method), on the other hand, produced the osmotic coefficient significantly larger than unity in serum solutions studied. This is consistent with the findings by the earlier freezing point depression study on ethanol in human blood serum solutions. The partial molar enthalpy data indicated highly non-ideal behaviours also, particularly in serum solutions. The detailed mechanism causing non-ideality even at this dilute concentration range is yet to be elucidated. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.},
