Collagen gels populated with rat neonatal heart cells can be used for optical recording of rhythmic contractions which also show ECG-like potentials

Neonatal heart cells populated collagen gels show rhythmic contractions which can be recorded optically and electrically. Optical recordings revealed two populations of rhythmically contracting gels: 1) highly coherent contracting collagen gels with normally distributed contraction interval times and contraction amplitudes, and 2) irregularly contracting gels with a multi-modal distribution of contraction interval times and amplitudes. The irregularly contracting gels were shown to be semi regular, which means that a short contraction interval was preferentially followed by another short interval. The volume of the collagen gel during the contraction decreased, and our calculations indicate that the myocytes expel 3–10 times their own volume from the gel. Changes in electrical potential were observed depending on the location of the electrodes. These electrical, ECG-like changes in potential were maximal when one electrode was placed in the centre and the other at the edge of the gel. The results of this study indicate that myocyte-populated collagen gels are a very promising system for studies of electrophysiology and coherent contractions.

观察了毫米波辐射对K562细胞超微结构,钙离子沉淀分布和线粒体跨膜电位（△ψm）变化的影响,发现低功率密度的毫米波辐射可以引起多数细胞的细胞膜形态立即发生变化,同时引起内质网池极度扩张,边缘钙离子沉淀增多,辐射结束数小时内凋亡细胞逐步增多,表明低功率密度的毫米波辐射通过影响胞膜和内质网,引起胸内钙离子浓度升高从而诱导细胞凋亡。     

Multimodal Brain-Computer Interfaces

A critical parameter of brain-computer interfaces(BCIs) is the number of dimensions a user can control independently.One way to increment this number without increasing the mental effort required to operate the system is to stimulate several sensory modalities simultaneously,and to distinguish brain activity patterns when the user focuses attention to different elements of this multisensory input.In this article we show how shifting attention between simultaneously presented tactile and visual stimuli affects the electrical brain activity of human subjects,and that this signal can be used to augment the control information from the two uni-modal BCI subsystems.     

超重元素Uus（Z=117）在酸溶液中标准电极电势的理论预测

基于Born-Haber热力学循环理论,利用多组态Dirac-Fock方法计算的超重元素Uus及其同族元素Cl,Br,I和At的离化势和亲和势及已有的标准电极电势的实验值,拟合得到了Uus的元素电势图.结果表明：在酸溶液中Uus的0价态能够稳定存在,而1,1＋和5＋价态不能稳定存在;在同族元素中,随原子序数Z的增大,0价态和1＋态的稳定性逐渐增加,1价态的稳定性逐渐降低;而5＋价态的稳定性随原子序数变化并不是单调的.对于这种稳定性随原子序数变化的规律,我们从价电子能级的相对位置以及电子电离或亲和的过程作了定性的解释.     

Executive inhibition in mental arithmetic

Event-related potentials (ERPs) were measured to investigate the executive inhibitory processes in mental arithmetic. Subjects had to compute arithmetic expressions visually presented in four chunks. ERP analyses were conducted for the second chunk comparing the “NoCalculate” to the “Calculate” conditions. In the Calculate condition subjects could compute intermediate results. In the NoCalculate condition subjects had to withhold the computation. The results showed a negative effect (N380) over frontocentral regions at about 380 ms, probably reflecting the calculation inhibition demand in the NoCalculate condition. In addition, the dN380 (NoCalculate-Calculate difference) was more pronounced in the right hemisphere, which is consistent with the findings of previous fMRI and PET studies that the right prefrontal cortex is closely associated with response inhibition. The results support the generalization of the frontocentral N2 as a neurobehavioral tool for investigating inhibitory executive control.
