Context-Processing Deficits in Schizotypal Personality Disorder.

Research suggests that schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) is a part of the spectrum of schizophrenia-related illnesses. This article hypothesizes that a deficit in the representation and maintenance of context is a core cognitive disturbance in schizophrenia and that SPD individuals should demonstrate context-processing deficits. To test this hypothesis, the authors administered 3 versions of their AX-CPT task, designed to assess context processing, to 35 healthy controls and 26 individuals with DSM-IV SPD. They also administered working memory and selective attention tasks. SPD individuals displayed context representation deficits similar to those found in schizophrenia but did not show the same additional deficits in context maintenance. Context processing was strongly associated with working memory and selective attention performance in the SPD individuals. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Effects of the glucocorticoid agonist, RU28362, and the antagonist RU486 on lung phosphatidylcholine and antioxidant enzyme development in the genetically obese Zucker rat

The biochemical maturation of the lung in late gestation and in the young animal is regulated by glucocorticoids. The present study was aimed at dissociating the different glucocorticoid receptor sites involved in these regulatory functions. The obese Zucker rat was selected as a model for this study as it exhibits hypersensitivity to glucocorticoid hormone action by virtue of its elevated receptor numbers and activity. Two synthetic steroid analogues were administered to obese animals; RU28362, a specific type II receptor agonist, and the type II antagonist RU486. RU28362 promoted a strong catabolic effect, which was associated with reduced food intake and the abolition of growth in the rats. The agonist, RU28362, attenuated developmental increases in antioxidant enzyme activities, and altered the growth of the tissue. At the age studied, development of the lung phosphatidylcholine (PC) system was almost complete, but RU28362 increased disaturated PC 16:0/16:0 concentrations by almost 2-fold, and altered the molecular composition of total pulmonary PC. RU486 attenuated the growth of the rats and reduced their food intake. Treatment with the type II antagonist attenuated lung growth and increased the activities of pulmonary copper zinc (Cu/Zn) and manganese (Mn) superoxide dismutases. RU486 had no effect on lung PC concentrations and molecular composition. The data suggest a role for type I glucocorticoid receptors in the regulation of the antioxidant enzyme system in the lung, as type II antagonism will channel endogenous glucocorticoid binding to the type I site. Type II receptor binding would appear to play a role in regulating the lung PC content.     

Frictional assessment of magnesium stearate and palmitate lubricant powders

A method has been developed for the frictional assessment of powder lubricants using a shear-box tester similar to that employed by Jenike. One commercial magnesium stearate, three high-purity magnesium stearates and three high-purity magnesium palmitates were assessed using this method. Powders with a well-ordered crystal structure and particle shape have a lower initial maximum coefficient of friction μ_a. The difference between μ_a and μ_b, the equilibrium dynamic friction coefficient, gives an indication of lubricant film-forming propensity. The basic friction equation is obeyed by the powders for most of the load range studied but deviates slightly approaching zero normal load.     

纳米SiO2增韧聚丙烯（PP）的研究

通过熔融共混法制备了聚丙烯（PP）／SiO2纳米复合材料，并使用扫描电镜（SEM），电子拉力机和冲击机等对材料进行表征。研究发现硅烷偶联剂对纳米SiO2在聚丙烯（PP）中的分散起一定的作用，但不是非常有效。添加相容剂PP-g-MAH后，可以使纳米SiO2均匀地分散于PP中。当纳米SiO2含量为2重量份时，PP/SiO2纳米复合材料的性能最优，与纯PP相比较，Izod冲击强度提高了90％，拉伸强度略微提高了5％，弯曲强度提高了23%。最后，作者对纳米SiO2的增韧机理和PP-g-MAH大幅度改善纳米SiO2在PP中分散效果的机理作了初步推断。

PROCESS CONTROL PERSPECTIVE FOR PROCESS ANALYTICAL TECHNOLOGY: INTEGRATION OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PRACTICE INTO SEMICONDUCTOR AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES

FDA's Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative provides an unprecedented opportunity for chemical engineers to play significant roles in the pharmaceutical industry. In this article, the authors provide their perspectives on (1) the need for chemical engineering principles in pharmaceutical development for a thorough process understanding; (2) applications of chemical engineering principles to meet the challenges from the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries; and (3) the integration of chemical engineering practice into the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries to achieve process understanding and the desired state of quality-by-design. A real-world case study from the semiconductor industry is presented to demonstrate how a classic chemical engineering concept, mixing homogeneity, can be implemented by inducing forced flow to ensure an excellent copper electrochemical plating process performance and to improve product quality substantially. Further, a case study of brake system design is discussed with the concept of Dr. Taguchi's robust engineering design to illustrate how quality-by-design can be achieved through appropriate experimental design, in conjunction with the discussion on the concept of quality-by-design in pharmaceuticals. Third, a case study of freeze-dried sodium ethacrynate is presented to demonstrate the vital importance of controlling the processing factors to achieve the desired product stability. Finally, the problems of the current pharmaceutical manufacturing mode, the opportunities and engineering challenges during implementation of PAT in the pharmaceutical industry, and the role of chemical engineering in implementation of PAT is discussed in detail.     

PMN-PNN-PT单晶的固相法生长研究

采用两步法和埋入PMN-PT单晶为模板的等离子放电烧结（SPS）技术制备出了致密的单一钙钛矿相的PMN-PNN-PT陶瓷，随后在1200℃下退火100h来诱导晶体的生长。实验结果表明，PMN-PNN-PT单晶〈111〉方向的生长速度明显快于〈001〉方向，而〈111〉方向生长的晶体形状为V字形，这是由钙钛矿结构的生长机理决定的，钙钛矿结构晶体的生长是通过〈001〉方向的层状生长来实现的。
