厚壁空心微球的球形度和壁厚均匀性的表征研究

为建立高效简洁的厚壁空心微球球形度和壁厚均匀性的表征和测量方法,以内径850 m、壁厚25 m的厚壁聚苯乙烯（PS）微球为测量对象,分析球形度和壁厚均匀性的表征方法,探讨测量过程中采样方式对表征微球球形度和壁厚均匀性的影响。研究表明：对于批量微球球形度和壁厚均匀性的表征,当抽样数目不小于30时,测量结果之间的差异很小;而对于单一微球的球形度和壁厚均匀性的表征,至少3个不同投影面的测量结果的平均值才趋于稳定。不同投影面导致球形度或壁厚均匀性较差的批次样品的测量结果有一定差异,多次投影测量可提高测量结果的可靠性。     

基于动态溶胀法制备中空聚合物微球

以表面带正电荷的m级聚苯乙烯微球为种子,经过甲苯、二乙烯基苯溶胀,聚合与包覆等过程制备了直径约5 m的中空聚合物微球。研究了溶剂类型、溶剂用量对动态溶胀法制备的中空聚合物微球粒径、分布和结构的影响,讨论了中空聚合物微球的形成机理。结果表明：添加一定量甲苯、二甲苯等挥发性溶剂是动态溶胀法形成中空聚合物微球的前提;甲苯用量越多,溶胀后形成的中空结构越明显,孔径越大;选择低溶解性的二甲苯溶剂更有利于中空结构的形成。     

静息态脑功能连接在不同认知状态老年人中的应用

目的探讨不同认知状态老年人静息态脑功能连接情况。方法收集阿尔茨海默病患者（AD组）13例、轻度认知功能障碍患者（MCI组）12例、认知正常老年人（对照组）13例，进行磁共振扫描，应用局部一致性（ReHo）方法确定种子点，并进行静息态功能连接分析。结果在静息状态下，AD组和MCI组患者的后扣带回区域、额叶内侧、前额叶背外侧和顶叶部分区域的ReHo均较高。与对照组相比，MCI患者左侧颞叶（颞下回及颞中回）、海马旁回及右侧枕叶舌回、皮层下的部分脑区ReHo显著降低；而右侧额叶（额上回、额中回及中央前回）、顶上小叶及左侧梭状回、颞上回、额下回的部分脑区ReHo显著增高。AD患者变化更加明显，额叶-顶叶，颞叶-脑岛，颞叶-枕叶之间的长距离连接降低，但是额叶内部和枕颞间、丘脑及颞叶间的功能连接增高，3组间差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。结论3组不同认知状态老年人的功能连接不同，有助于AD、MCI患者及正常老年人的鉴别诊断。     

Gadolinium‐Decorated Silica Microspheres as Redox‐Responsive MRI Probes for Applications in Cell Therapy Follow‐Up

The redox microenvironment within a cell graft can be considered as an indicator to assess whether the graft is metabolically active or hypoxic. We present a redox‐responsive MRI probe based on porous silica microparticles whose surface has been decorated with a Gd‐chelate through a disulphide bridge. Such microparticles are designed to be interspersed with therapeutic cells within a biocompatible hydrogel. The onset of reducing conditions within the hydrogel is paralleled by an increased clearance of Gd, that can be detected by MRI.     

Proteins as functional interlayer in organic field-effect transistor

The paper summarizes and discusses the recent advances of proteins as functional interlayers in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Specific focus is given on the proteins integrated into the device structure, either to act as dielectric materials or to perform as the functional interlayer between the dielectric and the organic semiconductor (OSC). The main emphasis is give to the location and the specific effect of protein layers in the structure of OFETs. Besides, the possibility of amyloid serving as useful building blocks for OFET is discussed.     

微米级PS-PEDOT核壳型导电微球的合成与拉曼表征

以分散聚合法制备的微米级聚苯乙烯(PS)微球为模板、3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩(EDOT)为单体、过硫酸铵(APS)为引发剂,通过氧化聚合制备了PS-PEDOT核壳型复合导电微球。采用扫描电镜、透射电镜等对导电微球的形貌和结构进行了表征,重点采用拉曼光谱研究了其核壳结构特征。并研究了超声分散、溶液pH以及单体配比对导电微球形貌的影响。实验结果表明:超声的引入可提高导电微球的单分散性,改善微球的形貌。随着pH的降低或单体配比的增加,导电聚合物在PS微球表面的负载量随之增加,当m(EDOT)/m(PS)由0.60增加到1.25时,导电微球的平均粒径由1.76μm增加到1.91μm。     

Effects of high-energy ultrasound on the functional properties of proteins

In recent years, high-energy ultrasound has been used as an alternative to improve the functional properties of various proteins, such as from milk, eggs, soy and poultry. The benefits of implementing this technology depend on the inherent characteristics of the protein source and the intensity and amplitude of the ultrasound, as well as on the pH, temperature, ionic strength, time, and all of the variables that have an effect on the physicochemical properties of proteins. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the optimal conditions for each type of food. The use of ultrasound is a promising technique in food technology with a low impact on the environment, and it has thus become known as a green technology. Therefore, this review focuses on the application of high-energy ultrasound to food; its effects on the functional properties of proteins; and how different conditions such as the frequency, time, amplitude, temperature, and protein concentration affect the functional properties.
