Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the acetylation of wood. The wood to be acetylated is first subjected to an extraction step. The resulting extracted wood particularly has a reduced hemicellulose content. This extracted wood is subjected to contact with an acetylation agent. The extraction can be done with an extraction fluid which is, e.g., water, acetone, ethanol, methanol, or acetic acid. The water can be pure water, such as tap water or demineralised water, or it can be a dilute salt solutions (e.g. water containing ammonium oxalate or sodium sulphite). Hot water extraction is preferred. The resulting acetylated extracted wood, particularly wood elements, have a desirable swelling behaviour at lower acetyl contents than conventional acetylated wood. The wood can be in the form of wood elements, solid wood, or wood veneers.

Abstract: Subjects with heart failure (HF) are at higher risk of developing thrombosis. The inventors thus determined the thrombin generating capacity in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Their prospective study included 34 ADHF patients and 30 control inpatients without HF. Compared to controls, endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) was higher in ADHF patients at admission using platelet-rich plasma and remained increased during the hospitalization period. Soluble markers of endothelial dysfunction including von Willebrand factor, factor VIII and endothelial protein C receptor were higher in ADHF patients at admission. The plasma levels of DNA-histone complexes were elevated significantly in ADHF patients at admission compared to controls. Higher concentrations of annexin-V/tissue factor (TF)-positive eEVs were also found also in ADHF patients at admission compared to controls. The findings demonstrate that methods of determining the thrombin generating capacity in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), which combine measurements of endogenous thrombin potential and endothelial dysfunction, are particularly valuable for stratifying the patients and thus for orienting treatments and following-up of the patients.
