Disease relevance of methoxymethane

  • We measured pulmonary tissue volume (Vt) and pulmonary capillary blood flow (Qc) by a rebreathing method using two soluble gases, acetylene (C2H2) and dimethyl ether (DME), in 32 normal subjects and 14 patients who had had pulmonary edema [1].
 

High impact information on methoxymethane

  • We calculated Qaw using the time-dependent decrease in DME concentration in relation to the helium concentration in an expired volume fraction between 80 and 130 ml (representing an anatomic dead-space segment distal to the glottis) and the mean DME concentration [2].
  • During exhalation, the instantaneous concentrations of DME and helium were recorded together with expired gas volume [2].
  • The subjects inhaled, from the functional residual capacity position, a 300-ml gas mixture containing 35% DME, 8% helium, 35% oxygen, and the balance nitrogen; they held their breath for 5 s and then exhaled into a spirometer [2].
  • Hydrolysis of tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE) in dilute aqueous acid [3].
  • Analysis of biofuel production was based on ASPEN Plus model simulation of an advanced fermentation process to produce fuel ethanol/protein, a thermochemical process to produce Fischer-Tropsch diesel (FTD) and dimethyl ether (DME), and a combined heat and power plant to co-produce steam and electricity [4].
 

Associations of methoxymethane with other chemical compounds

  • The samples were analysed in the laboratory by gas chromatography for C3-C11 aliphatic hydrocarbons, tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE), tert-amyl methyl ether (MTAE), benzene, toluene and xylene [5].
