Single-Carbon-Fiber-Powered Microsensor for In Vivo Neurochemical Sensing with High Neuronal Compatibility

The development of new principles and techniques with high neuronal compatibility for quantitatively monitoring the dynamics of neurochemicals is essential for deciphering brain chemistry and function but remains a great challenge. We herein report a neuron-compatible method for in vivo neurochemical sensing by powering a single carbon fiber through spontaneous bipolar electrochemistry as a new sensing platform. By using ascorbic acid as a model target to prove the concept, we found that the single-carbon-fiber-powered microsensor exhibited a good response, high stability and, more importantly, excellent neuronal compatibility. The microsensor was also highly compatible with electrophysiological recording, thus enabling the synchronous recording of both chemical and electrical signals. The sensing principle could be developed for in vivo monitoring of various neurochemicals in the future by rationally designing and tuning the electrochemical reactions at the two poles of the carbon fiber.     

两种含锌化合物对慢性染铅大鼠海马NADPH-d阳性神经元影响的比较

为探讨硫酸锌(ZnSO4)和牛磺酸锌(TZC)拮抗铅对学习记忆的损害的不同，采用NADPH-黄递酶(NADPH-d)组化，观察了饮用含0.2g／L醋酸铅(PbAc)饮水和含不同剂量(5．0，15．0g／kg)ZnSO4、(5．9、17．7g／kg)TZC饲料喂养的大鼠海马一氧化氮合酶(NOS)活性的变化。结果表明，各补锌组均不同程度地缓解铅致NOS活力减低，铅 低TZC组、铅 高ZnSO4组和铅 低ZnSO4组大鼠海马神经元的NOS活性明显高于染铅组，其中铅 低TZC组的保护作用最显著，而铅 高TZC组的NOS活性明显低于对照组，而接近染铅组水平。结论是锌对抗铅的毒性作用与锌的化学结合形式、锌的剂量密切相关。     

交联聚苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯双极膜的制备及其在电合成环氧丁二酸中的应用

以聚苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯（SBS）嵌段共聚物作为基膜材料,采用自由基接枝聚合反应,在SBS主链上引入丙烯酸（AA）、苯乙烯磺酸和γ-甲基丙烯酰氧基丙基三甲氧基硅烷（KH570）链段作为阳离子交换膜;引入丙烯酸二甲基胺基乙酯和KH570链段作阴离子交换膜,阴、阳离子交换膜经KH570结构中三甲氧基硅烷基团的水解缩合,得到含硅氧交联网的SBS接枝离子交换膜,用流延法制备了SBS双极膜。 测得SBS阴膜和阳膜的吸水率分别为63.9%和72.8%,SBS阴膜和阳膜的离子交换容量分别为1.51和2.71 mmol/g。 将SBS双极膜作为阴阳两室隔膜,采用钨酸钠/过钨酸钠体系由阴极间接电氧化合成了环氧丁二酸。 结果表明,以石墨为阴、阳电极,电流密度为2.0×10-2 A/cm²、50 ℃反应4 h,环氧丁二酸的产率为53.0%,电流效率为40.8%。     

一种考虑IGBT基区载流子注入条件的物理模型

提出了一种考虑绝缘栅极双极晶体管(insulated gate bipolar transistor,IGBT) 基区载流子不同注入条件的物理模型. 在小注入和大注入情况下,分别建立描述IGBT基区载流子运动的输运方程(ambipolar transport equation,ATE),并确定边界条件. 采用傅里叶级数法求解载流子输运方程,并将计算结果分别与IGBT手册提供的实验数据和Hefner模型计算结果相比较,验证了本文提出物理模型的正确性. 关键词： 绝缘栅极双极晶体管 物理模型 注入条件 双极输运方程

以Hindmarsh-Rose(HR)神经元组成网络,研究这些网络的记忆(或模式)存储与时间分割问题.给定一个输入模式,它是几种模式的叠加,网络能够以一部分神经元同步发放的形式一个接一个地分割出每一种模式.如果输入的模式是缺损的,系统能够恢复为原型,即网络具有联想记忆功能.模拟也得到据作者所知至今还未报道的一些现象.     

FitzHugh-Nagumo神经元网络的同步振荡与联想记忆

本文研究由FitzHugh—Nagumo神经元所组成的脉动神经元网络的同步与联想记忆恢复。基于神经元微观生理结构，本文给出具有空间随机分布延时的神经元间耦合，而这种随机分布延时描述了脉动信号从突触前神经元到突触后神经元在轴突上传播所需要的时间。记忆由空时发放的神经元集群表达，在噪声涨落的作用下，系统取得了对不完整输入的记忆恢复。     

Attractors of non-Newtonian fluids

The existence of global attractors is demonstrated for the dynamical systems generated by motions of nonlinear bipolar and non-Newtonian viscous fluids and upper bounds are obtained for the Hausdorff and fractal dimensions of the attractors for the bipolar case.     

Synaptic Coupling Between Two Electronic Neurons

An electrical circuit is proposed to realize an unidirectional coupling between two cells, mimicking chemical synaptic coupling. Each cell represents the FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) model of neuron with a modified exitability (MFHN). We present experimental results on frequency doublings and on the chaotic dynamics depending on the coupling strength in a master–slave configuration. In all experiments, we stress the influence of the coupling strength on the control of the slave neuron.
