基于 NaI(Tl)闪烁晶体探测方法研制而成的海水放射性传感器是目前国内外开展海洋放射性核素原位自动监测的主要技术手段,但海水放射性传感器在海上长期连续运行时,测量得到的海水伽马能谱数据会受到环境温度影响而发生漂移.开展环境温度梯度变化条件下的海水放射性传感器测量实验,分析海水放射性传感器测量得到的伽马能谱数据随环境温度变化而发生的漂移规律,通过将峰位道址漂移表达为温度的二次函数关系,进而提出了基于环境温度变化的伽马能谱漂移校正方法.经实验室空气环境和水体环境实验验证,空气环境校正后峰位道址漂移不超过±2 道,水体环境校正后峰位道址漂移不超过±3 道,可以满足海水放射性传感器连续测量伽马能谱的温度漂移校正需求.
Objectives/AimsThe bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), considered a part of ‘extended amygdala’ and located in the basomedial forebrain, is characterized by its connections with other limbic structures, hypothalamic and brainstem nuclei. With these crucial connections, it plays a key role in emotional processing and modulation of autonomic physiological and behavioural responses. Consequently, its dysfunction is implicated in many human psychiatric illnesses including depression thus positioning it as a target for neuromodulation with deep brain stimulation (DBS) and investigations of its direct neural activity.MethodsHere, in a cross-sectional design, we acquired task-induced neuronal recordings from BNST from fifteen treatment resistant depressed patients undergoing DBS surgery in a clinical trial. We employed two tasks: 1) empathy induction with painful and non-painful pictures, 2) affect task with emotionally valenced pictures (positive, neutral and negative). We first characterised task induced spectral dynamics and subsequently using permutation testing to assess condition differences. Time- frequency clusters which showed condition differences were then tested for their association with behavioural ratings and depression scores.ResultsEmpathy and affect task both showed task induced responses with condition differences predominantly in theta-alpha range. For empathy task, alpha activity also predicted the painful and non-painful behavioural ratings. Furthermore, alpha activity for non-painful pictures were also significantly associated with depression scores. Affect task showed condition differences in activity for positive and negatives pictures when compared to neutral pictures. Alpha activity of negative pictures (when compared to neutral pictures) were also positively correlated with depression scores.ConclusionsOverall, from direct BNST recordings, we thus show the spectral signatures of BNST in evaluation of empathy and affect pictures. Furthermore, alpha activity in these tasks also predicted depression scores thus highlighting its role as a potential biomarker for depression severity.

Background: Drug addiction is one of the most prevalent and costly health problems worldwide. Over the past decade, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has increasingly been used for the treatment of drug addiction. Simultaneous DBS of nucleus accumbens (NAc) and the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) has successfully been used for preventing heroin relapse. However, the excessive energy consumption speeds up battery depletion, which puts a burden on patients. By comparison, anterior capsulotomy is usually more convenient for patients and its clinical efficacy is similar to that of ALIC DBS. Accordingly, NAc DBS combined with anterior capsulotomy may also be an effective, yet more convenient, intervention for drug addiction and relapse prevention. Case Description: The patient was a 28-year-old man with a polysubstance use disorder (bucinnazine, morphine, and hypnotics) for 13 years. After bilateral NAc DBS combined with bilateral anterior capsulotomy, his craving for the three drugs decreased markedly, and he remained abstinent throughout the follow-up period of approximately 1-year. Moreover, psychiatric and neuropsychological assessments showed significant improvements in depression, anxiety, sleep, quality of life, and most aspects of cognitive functioning. His overall health status was also improved. Conclusions: NAc DBS combined with anterior capsulotomy is a promising surgical treatment for drug addiction.

Methamphetamine (MA) and related stimulants are the world's second most commonly abused drug class with an estimated 24 million users worldwide [1]. MA use is associated with marked medical and psychiatric morbidity, increased mortality, and functional impairments, with estimated costs of $85 million per year globally. Current treatments consist primarily of behavioral interventions which have limited efficacy. To date, no medications or other biological treatments have been approved for the treatment of methamphetamine use disorder (MUD).

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mood disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In many cases, BD can be managed with pharmacotherapy, psychological therapy, or electroconvulsive therapy [ [1] Grande I. Berk M. Birmaher B. Vieta E. Bipolar disorder.

To detect the trace amount of fluorescence signals emitted from chlorophyll-a inside hytoplankton in seawater under LED excitation for implementing detection of chlorophyll-a in seawater, and protecting red tide and other disasters, the digital lock-in amplifier has been designed based on STM32 single chip computer and FPGA. The orthogonal vector lock-in amplifier and generation of the LED light source modulation driving signal DDS are realized by FPGA; while the functions of data processing, temperature compensation and communication are accomplished by STM32. The results of experiments indicate that design scheme can detect chlorophyll-a in seawater in real time under natural environment, and offer higher measurement accuracy. The in-situ seawater chlorophyll-a sensor based on this scheme features simple structure and easy to carry, high accuracy, high stability, and strong anti-interference capability, and possesses wide applicable prospects.
This study was aimed to study the effect of solution pH on the aid effect of compound bioflocculant (CBF) in dye wastewater treatment combined with widely used alum coagulants. The color removal performance of aluminum sulfate (AS) and polyaluminum chloride (PAC) was significantly improved with the aid of CBF. In addition, the effective pH range of alum salts was also broadened by CBF. Floc properties including size, growth, breakage, re-growth and sedimentation natural were determined by PDA2000. The results showed that floc size was enlarged by CBF, especially at acidic conditions and that floc grew faster when CBF was added, especially under neutral and alkaline conditions. Floc sedimentation rate, floc breakage and recovery factor were also enhanced by CBF throughout the studied pH range. CBF was characterized by FT-IR on which there is abundant -COO- and -NH. It was suggested that adsorption and bridging effect of CBF performed a positive role in dye wastewater treatment. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
