Effects of addiction-associated and affective stimuli on the attentional blink in a sample of abstinent opiate dependent patients

The attentional blink reveals the limits of the brain's ability in information processing. It has been extensively studied in people with neurological and psychiatric disturbances to explore the temporal characteristics of information processing and exami

Research on Dynamic Micro-Deformation under Laser Point Source

The dynamic micro-deformation of the specimen under laser point source is measured using a laser beam reflex amplifier system and numerically simulated by Msc.Marc software. Compared with experimental result and calculated result, the final deformation direction of the specimen depends on the result of the thermal strain and the phase transformation strain cooperation, away from the laser beam or towards the laser beam, the final deformation angle depends on temperature gradient in the thickness direction and the geometry constraint of the specimen. The conclusion lays the foundation for further research on the mechanism of laser bending. At the same time, it is proposed that the model of calculation based on classical Fourier heat transfer theory cannot be enough to simulate the dynamic micro-deformation of the specimen under laser point source, the model of calculation should be modified in the future.

The improvement of thick oxidized porous silicon layer growth process - art. no. 60290S

Oxidizing thick porous silicon layer into silicon dioxide is a timesaving and low-cost process for producing thick silicon dioxide layer used in silicon-based optical waveguide devices. The solution of H2O2 is proposed to post-treat thick porous silicon (PS) films. The prepared PS layer as the cathode is applied about 10 mA/cm(2) current in mixture of ethanol, HF, and H2O2 solutions, in order to improve the stability and the smoothness of the surface. With the low-temperature dry-O-2 pre-oxidizations and high-temperature wet O-2 oxidizations process, a high-quality SiO2 30 mu m thickness layer that fit for the optical waveguide device was prepared. The SEM images show significant improved smoothness on the surface of oxidized PS thick films, the SiO2 film has a stable and uniformity reflex index that measured by the prism coupler, the uniformity of the reflex index in different place of the wafer is about 0.0003.

阿片类药物成瘾者瞳孔光反射的检测和特征提取

建立了一种基于图像处理的快速瞳孔直径检测算法,运用此算法提取了反映阿片类药物成瘾人员与正常人对瞳孔光反射变化差异的3个特征值:绝对收缩幅度(absolute amplitude of contraction,AAC)、相对收缩幅度(relative amplitude of contraction,RAC)和收缩斜率(SCV,slope of contraction velocity);分别研究了成瘾、性别、近视、年龄、睡眠剥夺等因素对于这3个特征值的影响。不同性别、近视人员、睡眠剥夺人员与正常人之间的3个特征值均无显著差异,成瘾人员与之对比均显著减小。老年人相对于正常青年人,3个特征值都明显减小;与成瘾人员相比,仅在RAC值上有显著差异。结果表明,阿片类药物成瘾人员除了与正常人外,也与其他具有潜在影响瞳孔变化因素的非阿片成瘾人员在瞳孔对光反射的特征值上具有显著差异。该研究的实验数据为进一步建立基于检测瞳孔对光反射其直径发生变化的方法来快速、非接触地鉴别出阿片类药物成瘾人员提供了可靠的依据。

1. 快速扫视系统对瞳孔对光反射系统的调制作用2. 麻醉状态下纳洛酮对吗啡依赖大鼠的岛叶神经元的自发放的影响

一. 快速扫视系统对瞳孔对光反射系统的调制作用快速扫视系统是研究运动神经控制的一个很好的模型。瞳孔对光反射是由进入视网膜的光亮度的增加而引起的瞳孔的收缩。之前的实验研究表明这两个系统都是开放的系统。但是对快速扫视系统是否对瞳孔对光反射系统有调制作用并没有研究过。本实验研究了注视状态和快速扫视状态下的瞳孔对光反射的潜伏期和瞳孔直径的变化。结果显示在注视状态下的和出现快速扫视时瞳孔对光反射的潜伏期表现出显著不同。外展和内收会引起瞳孔对光反射的潜伏期和瞳孔相对收缩率不同变化。在出现外展运动时，瞳孔对光反射的潜伏期显著下降，而出现内收运动时，瞳孔对光反射的潜伏期表现出显著增加。而瞳孔相对收缩率在出现两种运动时与注视状态下相比也发生不同的变化：外展运动引起瞳孔对光反射的瞳孔相对收缩率的增加，而内收运动引起瞳孔相对收缩率的减少。尽管快速扫视本身会引起瞳孔的收缩，但是引起的瞳孔收缩的变化不等于在出现快速扫视时的瞳孔对光反射的瞳孔直径的变化，这个结果说明在出现快速扫视时的瞳孔对光反射的变化并不是来源于光效应和快速扫视效应的简单叠加。基于快速扫视出现时间的进一步分析说明在瞳孔对光反射周期内不同时间出现两种快速扫视引起的瞳孔对光反射的潜伏期和瞳孔相对收缩率的变化不同。这些结果说明两个系统是有相互作用的，快速扫视系统可以调节瞳孔对光反射系统。关键词：快速扫视 瞳孔对光反射 调制二. 麻醉状态下纳洛酮对吗啡依赖大鼠的岛叶神经元的自发放的影响药物成瘾是药物长期作用于脑而产生的一种慢性复吸性脑疾病。之前有研究表明岛叶参与成瘾的过程。本实验以CPP为检测手段，检测实验大鼠是否产生吗啡依赖(吗啡给药方式为隔天给药，腹腔注射(10mg/kg)，共三次。然后采用四合一电极对纳洛酮诱发戒断的麻醉大鼠的岛叶和体感皮层进行细胞外电生理记录。与对照组相比，在记录的神经元中，被激活的神经元的所占比例（71.43%）远远大于对照组。将对照组和实验组的发放显著增加的神经元在给药前后的相对平均发放进行比较，两组神经元发放增加并没有显著差异。采用卡方检验比较了对照组和实验组的发放模式，结果显示两组发放模式存在显著差异。说明岛叶参与的方式可能是有更多数目的神经元参与，而不是通过改变单个神经元的发放参与。这也在神经元水平上为岛叶参与成瘾过程提供了一个证据。
