Mature cladodes of Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller have a thick chlorenchyma (about 4 mm) with a relatively high chlorophyll convent (0.65 gm ), suggesting that light may be greatly attenuated and hence CO fixation negligible in the inner part of this tissue.

Responses of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase) to an elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration were determined along with net CO2 uptake rates for the Crassulacean acid metabolism species Opuntia ficus-indica growing in open-top chambers. During the spring 13 months after planting, total daily net CO2 uptake of basal and first-order daughter cladodes was 28% higher at 720 than at 360 μl CO2 l(-1). The enhancement, caused mainly by higher CO2 assimilation during the early part of the night, was also observed during late summer (5 months after planting) and the following winter.

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) solutions were evaluated in a rat cecal abrasion model to test the effect of these high-molecular-weight hydrophilic polymer solutions on postoperative adhesion formation when used as tissue precoating solutions. Eleven groups of 5-20 animals each were studied including 25 control animals treated with Ringer's lactate (RL) solution. Animals were reoperated at 2 weeks and adhesions were scored according to a 0-4 grading scale.
