Сплошное динамическое проспективное исследование 70 мужчин со среднетяжелой и тяжелой формой COVID-19 в возрасте 50 [44; 64] лет. При проведении исследования определялись уровни общего тестостерона, ГСПГ с дальнейшим расчетом уровня свободного тестостерона по Vermeullen.

На момент госпитализации по поводу COVID-19 синдром гипогонадизма отмечался у 61 человека — 87%. Пациенты с гипогонадизмом статистически значимо не различались по возрасту и степени тяжести заболевания COVID-19 по сравнению с мужчинами без гипогонадизма. Стационарное лечение, продолжавшееся 12 [10; 14] дней, привело к статистически значимому увеличению уровней общего тестостерона с 4,7 [2,96; 8,48] до 12,85 [8,62; 19,2] нмоль/л, p<0,001; ГСПГ — с 27,87 [20,78; 36,57] до 33,76 [26,27; 52,60] нмоль/л, p<0,001 и свободного тестостерона с 107 [65; 174] до 235 [162; 337] пмоль/л, p<0,001.

ОБОСНОВАНИЕ. Сегодня проблема гиперандрогении изучается преимущественно по отношению к женщинам, у мужчин этот вопрос практически не затрагивается, в то же время гиперандрогения у них может быть ассоциирована с развитием ряда заболеваний.ЦЕЛЬ. Охарактеризовать варианты физиологической гиперандрогении у мужчин.МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ. Сплошное одномоментное исследование 100 мужчин с гиперандрогенией. При проведении исследования оценивались объем и структура простаты, объем яичек; определялись уровни лютеинизирующего гормона (ЛГ), общего тестостерона, глобулина, связывающего половые гормоны (ГСПГ), с дальнейшим расчетом уровня свободного тестостерона по Vermeullen, и дигидротестостерона (ДГТ). По результатам анализа гормонального статуса пациентов с гиперандрогенией были сформированы 4 группы пациентов: 1-я — пациенты с повышенным уровнем общего тестостерона и ГСПГ; 2-я — пациенты с повышенным уровнем общего тестостерона и нормальным уровнем ГСПГ; 3-я — пациенты с повышенным уровнем общего тестостерона, ДГТ при нормальном уровне ГСПГ; 4-я — пациенты с повышенным уровнем ДГТ при нормальном уровне общего тестостерона и ГСПГ. Статистически значимыми считали различия между группами при p<0,05.РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ. Возраст и объем простаты пациентов 1-й группы были статистически значимо выше, чем в остальных группах. Для этой группы, несмотря на высокий уровень общего тестостерона, не было характерно наличие жалоб на акне. Пациенты 2-й группы чаще жаловались на акне, но распространенность этого симптома даже в этой группе являлась статистически значимо более низкой, чем у пациентов 3-й группы. При этом частота встречаемости алопеции была статистически значимо ниже во 2-й группе, чем у пациентов как 3-й, так и 4-й групп. Пациенты 3-й группы имели самые яркие клинические проявления гиперандрогении. Для 4-й группы была характерна алопеция.ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ. Повышение уровня андрогенов может выявляться в любом возрасте. При этом у мужчин старшей возрастной группы повышение уровня общего тестостерона может быть обусловлено увеличением секреции ГСПГ и не сопровождаться повышением уровня свободного тестостерона. У молодых пациентов клинические проявления гиперандрогении могут отличаться: для пациентов с повышенным уровнем ДГТ характерна андрогенная алопеция; акне характерно для мужчин с повышенным уровнем общего и свободного тестостерона, а повышение ДГТ усугубляет эту проблему. 相似文献

Oxygen concentration defines the chemical structure of Earth''s ecosystems while it also fuels the metabolism of aerobic organisms. As different aerobes have different oxygen requirements, the evolution of oxygen levels through time has likely impacted both environmental chemistry and the history of life. Understanding the relationship between atmospheric oxygen levels, the chemical environment, and life, however, is hampered by uncertainties in the history of oxygen levels. We report over 5,700 Raman analyses of organic matter from nine geological formations spanning in time from 742 to 1,729 Ma. We find that organic matter was effectively oxidized during weathering and little was recycled into marine sediments. Indeed, during this time interval, organic matter was as efficiently oxidized during weathering as it is now. From these observations, we constrain minimum atmospheric oxygen levels to between 2 to 24% of present levels from the late Paleoproterozoic Era into the Neoproterozoic Era. Indeed, our results reveal that eukaryote evolution, including early animal evolution, was not likely hindered by oxygen through this time interval. Our results also show that due to efficient organic recycling during weathering, carbon cycle dynamics can be assessed directly from the sediment carbon record.The history of life has been interwoven with levels of atmospheric oxygen through much of Earth’s history. For example, aerobic life could only prosper after the evolution of cyanobacteria, which introduced oxygen into the environment (1). Furthermore, the oxygen requirements of aerobic eukaryotes, representing most eukaryotes by far, scale positively with their size (2). For example, mammals could not have evolved into a low-oxygen environment that was sufficient for eukaryotic microbes. In this way, the history of atmospheric oxygen has both constrained and permitted evolutionary developments requiring specific oxygen levels (3). However, fully understanding how oxygen has impacted the history of life requires reconstructing the history of atmospheric oxygen.Direct measurements of atmospheric oxygen concentration over time can be made from air trapped in glacial ice, with a record extending over the past 800,000 y (4), or in evaporitic salt, extending the record to potentially over 1 billion years (5–8). The oxygen record from ice is continuous and precise, but young, while the salt record is infrequent and requires careful screening to ensure samples are appropriate for analysis (9). Otherwise, the history of atmospheric oxygen is estimated from oxygen-sensitive proxies. Oxygen impacts the chemical nature, isotopic composition, and/or concentrations of redox-sensitive substances in the oceans (like molybdenum, e.g., refs. 10 and 11, or cerium, e.g., refs. 12 and 13) and the chemical weathering of redox-sensitive substances on land (like chromium and iron, e.g., refs. 14–16). Oxygen is also directly incorporated into sulfate during redox transformation (17). None of the proxies deriving from these processes represent a direct oxygen barometer, and each requires interpretation through modeling with a variety of assumptions regarding reaction kinetics, isotopic behavior during redox transformations, and the activity level of the ancient biosphere. These approaches are also generally hindered by a limited geologic record.Furthermore, these approaches do not provide a consensus view as to the history of atmospheric oxygen. For example, some approaches suggest maximum Mesoproterozoic Era (1,600 to 1,000 Ma) oxygen levels of 0.1 to 1% times present levels (PAL) (15, 18), whereas other approaches suggest minimum oxygen levels of 1 to 4% PAL (19–21). Also, different approaches using the same proxy can yield dramatically different results. For example, a kinetic approach to modeling cerium anomalies suggests atmospheric oxygen levels of ≤0.1% PAL from the Mesoproterozoic Era (1,600 to 1,000 Ma) through the latest Neoproterozoic Era (1,000 to 541 Ma) (13), while thermodynamic modeling of the cerium anomaly suggests oxygen levels of 1 to 2% PAL through the same time window (12). Resolving such divergent views is critical, as the Mesoproterozoic Era was a time of emerging eukaryotic ecosystems (22) whose evolution could have been influenced by oxygen availability.The carbon cycle is also impacted by oxygen in which the weatherability of ancient “geologic” organic matter is a function of oxygen concentration (23). Indeed, existing carbon cycle models suggest that considerable unweathered organic matter should be recycled into marine sediments when oxygen concentrations fall below 10% PAL (24). Thus, the extent of organic matter recycling in the geologic past yields a potential oxygen barometer. Therefore, we have explored with Raman spectroscopy nine geologic formations of relatively low thermal maturity spanning 1 billion years of the Proterozoic Eon (Table 1). We find that recycled organic matter is rare and that organic matter was oxidized during weathering as efficiently then as now, placing rather firm lower limits on levels of atmospheric oxygen through this time.Table 1.Number of sampling points and estimates of petrographic carbon concentrations

Electrical resistivity measurements were performed on single crystals of URu2–xOsxSi2 up to x = 0.28 under hydrostatic pressure up to P = 2 GPa. As the Os concentration, x, is increased, 1) the lattice expands, creating an effective negative chemical pressure Pch(x); 2) the hidden-order (HO) phase is enhanced and the system is driven toward a large-moment antiferromagnetic (LMAFM) phase; and 3) less external pressure Pc is required to induce the HOLMAFM phase transition. We compare the behavior of the T(x, P) phase boundary reported here for the URu2-xOsxSi2 system with previous reports of enhanced HO in URu2Si2 upon tuning with P or similarly in URu2–xFexSi2 upon tuning with positive Pch(x). It is noteworthy that pressure, Fe substitution, and Os substitution are the only known perturbations that enhance the HO phase and induce the first-order transition to the LMAFM phase in URu2Si2. We present a scenario in which the application of pressure or the isoelectronic substitution of Fe and Os ions for Ru results in an increase in the hybridization of the U-5f-electron and transition metal d-electron states which leads to electronic instability in the paramagnetic phase and the concurrent formation of HO (and LMAFM) in URu2Si2. Calculations in the tight-binding approximation are included to determine the strength of hybridization between the U-5f-electron states and the d-electron states of Ru and its isoelectronic Fe and Os substituents in URu2Si2.The heavy-fermion superconducting compound is known for its second-order phase transition into the so-called “hidden-order” (HO) phase at a transition temperature 17.5 K. Extensive investigation of the phase space in proximity to the HO phase transition has provided a detailed picture of the electronic and magnetic structure of this unique phase (1–42). However, more than three decades after the initial characterization of (1–3), the order parameter for the HO phase is still unidentified.Most perturbations to the compound have the effect of suppressing HO. The application of an external magnetic field () suppresses the HO phase (41, 43) and many of the chemical substitutions () at the U, Ru, or Si sites that have been explored significantly reduce , even at modest levels of substituent concentration (44–52). At present, only three perturbations are known to consistently enhance the HO phase in : 1) external pressure , 2) isoelectronic substitution of Fe ions for Ru, and 3) isoelectronic substitution of Os ions for Ru. Upon applying pressure , the HO phase in pure is enhanced (6) and the system is driven toward a large-moment antiferromagnetic (LMAFM) phase (53). The HOLMAFM phase transition is identified indirectly by a characteristic “kink” at a critical pressure 1.5 GPa in the () phase boundary (18, 53, 54) and also directly by neutron diffraction experiments, which reveal an increase in the magnetic moment from /U in the HO phase to /U in the LMAFM phase (13, 55, 56).Recent reports indicate that the isoelectronic substitution of Fe ions for Ru in replicates the behavior in (57–59). An increase in in enhances the HO phase and drives the system toward the HOLMAFM phase transition at a critical Fe concentration 0.15 (58, 60). The decrease in the volume of the unit cell due to substitution of smaller Fe ions for Ru may be interpreted as a chemical pressure, , where the Fe concentration can be converted to () (57, 59). In addition, the induced HOLMAFM phase transition in occurs at combinations of and that consistently obey the additive relationship: + 1.5 GPa (57, 59). These results have led to the suggestion that is equivalent to in affecting the HO and LMAFM phases (58, 59).Reports of the isoelectronic substitution of larger Os ions for Ru have shown that an increase in in 1) expands the volume of the unit cell, thus creating an effective negative chemical pressure (0); 2) enhances the HO phase; and 3) drives the system toward a similar HOLMAFM phase transition at a critical Os concentration of 0.065 (60–62). These results are contrary to the expectation that a negative would lead to a suppression of HO and complicate the view of chemical pressure as a mechanism affecting the evolution of phases in .In this paper, we report on the behavior of the (, ) boundary for the system based on measurements of single crystals of as a function of Os concentration and applied pressure . The (, ) phase boundary observed here for the system (57–59) is compared to that of the system and also with the behavior of in pure . As an explanation for the enhancement of HO toward the HOLMAFM phase transition, we suggest a scenario in which each of the perturbations of Os substitution, Fe substitution, and pressure favors delocalization of the 5 electrons and increases the hybridization of the uranium 5-electron and transition metal (Fe, Ru, Os) -electron states. To avoid an ad hoc explanation of the effect of increasing the Os concentration in , compared to the effects of pressure and Fe substitution, we explain how pressure , Fe substitution, and Os substitution are three perturbative routes to enhancement of the U-5- and -electron hybridization. The importance of the 5- and -electron hybridization to the emergence of HO/LMAFM is presented in the context of the Fermi surface (FS) instability that leads to a reconstruction and partial gapping of the FS during the transition from the paramagnetic (PM) phase to the HO and LMAFM phases (2, 6, 20, 22, 24–26, 37, 38, 63).In an effort to further understand the effect of isoelectronic substitution on the 5- and -electron hybridization, calculations in the tight-binding approximation were made for compounds from the series U ( = Fe, Ru, and Os). The calculations indicate that the degree of hybridization is largely dependent on the magnitude of the difference between the binding energy of the localized U-5 electrons and that of the transition metal electrons. 相似文献

The thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT) is based on two highly unconventional assumptions: first, that driven systems containing large numbers of dislocations are subject to the second law of thermodynamics and second, that the controlling inverse timescale for these systems is the thermally activated rate at which entangled pairs of dislocations become unpinned from each other. Here, we show that these two assumptions predict a scaling relation for steady-state stress as a function of strain rate and that this relation is accurately obeyed over a wide range of experimental data for aluminum and copper. This scaling relation poses a stringent test for the validity of the TDT. The fact that the TDT passes this test means that a wide range of problems in solid mechanics, previously thought to be fundamentally intractable, can now be addressed with confidence.For almost a century, the dislocation theory of crystalline deformation has played a central role in materials science. Unfortunately, this theory has made only modest progress for about seven decades. Although crystalline solids are essential in engineering applications and although modern experimental techniques have provided a wealth of information about dislocations in these solids, the theories developed to explain dislocation-driven phenomena have been primarily phenomenological. They describe phenomena mathematically but do not explain them; they are not predictive.The cause of this theoretical failure is clear. Dislocation-driven deformations of solids are complex nonequilibrium processes involving macroscopic numbers of dynamical degrees of freedom. Theoretical physicists know that they must use statistical methods to deal with such situations. Especially important is the second law of thermodynamics, which states that driven complex systems must move toward their most probable configurations (i.e., that their entropies must be nondecreasing functions of time). However, leading materials scientists since the 1950s have asserted that dislocation energies are too large, and that dislocation entropies are too small, for the second law to be applicable (1, 2).We have argued for a decade that those assertions are wrong. The thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT) is based directly on the second law. It was introduced in 2010 (3) and has been shown in a series of publications since then (4–13) to be capable of solving a wide range of the most important problems in solid mechanics including strain hardening, elastic–plastic yielding, shear banding, grain-size effects, and the like. Those problems were out of reach of the conventional approaches. However, questions remain. How sure are we that the TDT is more reliable than the observation-based phenomenologies? Can we use it confidently to solve important materials problems that have been left untouched by the conventional methods?To test the reliability of the TDT, we have used it to derive a scaling law for steady-state deformations. Such scaling laws have been proposed in the past. For example, Kocks and Mecking (14) devoted much of their review article to the search for scaling relations based on experimental data and phenomenological strain-hardening formulas. The TDT-based scaling relation, however, is derived directly from first principles. As we shall show, it is accurately obeyed over a wide-enough range of experimental data to make it seem highly unlikely that there is anything fundamentally incorrect about its underlying assumptions. Our increased confidence in the TDT now leads us to raise some issues that urgently need to be addressed for both basic and applied reasons.The thermodynamic basis of the TDT has been presented in earlier publications (especially refs. 3, 7, and 9). Its main premise is that the dislocations in a deforming crystalline solid can be described—indeed, must be described—by an effective temperature that differs greatly from the ordinary, ambient temperature . is truly a “temperature” in the conventional sense of that word; it is derived by invoking the second law of thermodynamics. It is also a true temperature in the sense that, as energy flows through an externally driven system containing dislocations, effective heat is converted to ordinary heat and dissipated. Thus, this driven, nonequilibrium system should be visualized as consisting of two weakly coupled subsystems: the dislocations at temperature and the rest of the system playing the role of a thermal reservoir at temperature .For present purposes, we need to know only that, in steady-state shear flow, the areal density of dislocations is given by the usual Boltzmann formula:[1]where is a minimum spacing between dislocations, is a characteristic dislocation energy, and is the steady-state effective temperature. The quantity , usually denoted by the symbol , is a measure of the degree of disorder of the subsystem of dislocations. It is determined by the rate at which this subsystem is being driven at the strain rate . If that driving rate is slow enough that irreversible atomic rearrangements have time to relax before the strain has changed appreciably, then must be independent of the strain rate. Typical timescales for atomic motions are of the order of . Thus, must be a constant for strain rates up to or even higher. It then follows from Eq. 1 that steady-state dislocation densities must also be constant across this range of driving rates, which includes most ordinary applications. In ref. 3, we used a Lindemann-like argument to estimate that , which turns out to be roughly correct.The second core ingredient of the TDT is the depinning (“double-exponential”) formula, which also is based on a comparison of timescales. We know that the dislocations in a deforming solid, under a wide range of circumstances, are locked together in an entangled mesh that can deform only via thermally activated depinning of pairwise junctions. The pinning times are very much longer than the times taken by dislocation segments to jump from one pinning site to another. Thus, the depinning rate controls the deformation rate, and no other rates are relevant in this approximation.To be more specific, define the depinning rate to be , where is a microscopic timescale and is a pinning energy that depends on the applied stress . Write this energy in the form , where is a characteristic stress that determines the magnitude of necessary to reduce the pinning barrier by a factor of . If is the separation between dislocations needed to produce this reduction and is the average distance between dislocations, then is a strain, and is a stress, where is the (temperature-dependent) shear modulus. In fact, is the Taylor stress. To compute the plastic strain rate, use the Orowan formula , where is the magnitude of the Burgers vector and is the average dislocation speed . The result is[2]or equivalently,[3]where . This is the scaling relation.For steady-state situations in which remains constant, Eq. 3 contains three system-dependent but theoretically strain rate-independent parameters: , , and . Thus, plots of measured values of as functions of should collapse onto a single curve after we have identified the values of those three parameters, which we can do by using known values of the modulus and using a least-squares method to find the best fit between the parameters and the scaling curve.To check this scaling prediction, we have used a set of compression measurements by Samanta (15). These are old results, but they have the special advantage for us of using two different materials and testing them at different temperatures and strain rates under otherwise identical conditions. Our scaling graph shown in Fig. 1 contains 32 points: 12 for pure copper at three temperatures in the range ( to ) and four strain rates ( to ) and 20 for pure aluminum at four temperatures in the range ( to ) and five strain rates (). Clearly, these points fall very accurately on the smooth curve predicted by the TDT analysis, which adds greatly to our confidence in this theory. The most physically interesting fitting parameters are for copper and for aluminum, which differ somewhat from previous estimates, possibly because of differing sample preparations or measurement techniques.Open in a separate windowFig. 1.Scaling relation given by Eq. 3. The solid curve is the function , with . The data points are from ref. 15 as interpreted in ref. 16.The time-dependent TDT consists of three physics-based equations of motion. The first is Hooke’s law with the (“hypo-elasto-plastic”) assumption that elastic and plastic shear rates are additive:[4]where is Poisson’s ratio and is the total elastic plus plastic strain rate. is given by Eq. 2, making this a highly nonlinear equation.Second is an equation of motion for , which is a statement of energy conservation:[5]Here, is the dislocation energy per unit length, and is the fraction of the input power that is converted into dislocations. The second term inside the square brackets determines the rate at which dislocations are annihilated. It does this by invoking a detailed balance approximation using the effective temperature ; that is, it says that the density must approach the value given by Eq. 1 but with the steady-state replaced by a time-dependent during the approach to steady-state deformation.Finally, the equation of motion for is a statement of the first law of thermodynamics:[6]where is the effective specific heat. The second term in the parentheses is proportional to the rate at which effective heat is converted to ordinary heat, which reminds us that is a thermodynamically well-defined temperature. Like the comparable term in Eq. 5, this is a detailed balance approximation. The last term on the right-hand side accounts for energy stored in the form of dislocations.To illustrate the solutions of these equations of motion, we show in Fig. 2 just 2 of Samanta’s 32 stress–strain datasets, compared here with the TDT predictions. The agreement between theory and experiment shown here is reassuringly excellent. Ref. 16 has details about how the TDT equations were reformulated for numerical purposes and how parameter values were chosen for comparing their predictions with the experiments. In computing the curves shown in Fig. 2, we simplified the analysis by neglecting Eq. 6 for and simply solving Eq. 5 with , consistent with our observation in ref. 3 that very rapidly at high temperatures . Our measured value of is roughly consistent with our original guess that . The graphs in Fig. 2 are almost identical to those shown for wider ranges of temperatures and strain rates in the early TDT papers. They also illustrate the invariance of the onset slopes for non-prehardened copper discovered experimentally by Kocks and Mecking (14) and explained theoretically in refs. 3 and 7.Open in a separate windowFig. 2.Strain hardening curves for Cu: , (upper blue) and , (lower red). The data points are from ref. 15.We emphasize that these equations of motion are based entirely on fundamental principles—the laws of thermodynamics, energy conservation, and dimensional analysis. Specific phenomena such as hardening, grain-size effects, or yielding transitions play no role in deriving them. Those phenomena are predicted by the equations. The associated physical mechanisms are contained in the derivation of the double-exponential depinning formula, Eq. 2, and in the conversion factors and in Eqs. 5 and 6. For example, the extreme stress sensitivity of the strain rate in Eq. 2 naturally explains the and dependences of yield stresses; the phenomenological concept of a “yield surface” is unnecessary. In a more specific way, the physically understandable grain-size dependence of the conversion factor in Eq. 5 provides a simple explanation of Hall–Petch effects. Both of these predictions are discussed in ref. 7.One of the most remarkable aspects of these results is how many ingredients of conventional dislocation theories are completely absent in this elementary version of the theory. The TDT dislocations are simply lines. We do not ask whether they are edge dislocations or screw dislocations or whether they are excess dislocations or geometrically necessary ones. There are no partial dislocations. The crystals through which they move have no specific symmetries. Their motions are unaffected by crystalline orientations, slip planes, or stacking faults. They do not undergo cross-slip. They interact with each other only at the pinning junctions and not via long-ranged elastic forces.Apparently, we can go remarkably far with only this TDT caricature, but there must be limits. Finding and understanding those limits should be a high priority for new investigations. After we see what important physics is missing, we should be able to put realistic features back into the theory in fundamentally consistent ways and thereby understand what roles they play and how important those roles may be.This process of making the TDT more realistic should help us distinguish useful phenomenological concepts from those that are unrealistic. Our candidates for the “unrealistic” category include distinctions between “mobile” and “immobile” dislocations, distinctions between different “stages” of strain hardening, and the idea that large flow stresses at high strain rates can be explained by something called “phonon drag.” At present, we see no scientific basis for any of those conventional ideas, but surely we are mistaken in some cases. We expect to learn a great deal by finding clear counterexamples or missing ingredients in the TDT.Similarly, there must be many limits to the validity of our scaling analysis. Here is an already obvious one. We have pointed out that the assumption of constant , and thus, constant , must be changed at physically plausible, high strain rates. Already, in ref. 3, we showed how a simple strain rate dependence of with a corresponding increase in can explain the high stresses observed in strong-shock experiments. We thus found agreement between TDT and experiment over 15 decades of strain rate. This kind of analysis of high strain rates was also applied in ref. 8 to interpret molecular dynamics simulations of crystalline deformation (17). We consider those simulations to have been especially important in the development of the present theory.There are many other open issues, but most of them seem to be minor technicalities in comparison with a far more important question: what is the physics of brittle and ductile fracture in crystalline solids? Basic theoretical research in this area has been at a decades-long standstill comparable with that which has afflicted theories of strain hardening.Consider the following. We know that solids are stronger when they are colder; their yield stresses and flow stresses decrease with increasing temperature. This behavior is now predicted by the TDT as seen in Eq. 2 and its applications. However, we also know that solids become more brittle (i.e., they break more easily) at lower temperatures despite the fact that they are stronger. How can these properties be consistent with each other?This basic question has not been answered. So far as we know, it is seldom even asked in the solid mechanics literature. The conventional model used for studying brittle or ductile crack initiation is one in which dislocations are emitted from infinitely sharp crack tips and move out along well-defined slip planes (18, 19). These dislocations either move freely, supposedly implying brittle behavior, or become dense enough to shield the crack tip and somehow produce ductility and toughness. Agreement with experiment is modest at best. As stated in a recent experimental paper by Ast et al. (20), an “understanding of the controlling deformation mechanism is still lacking.” Finding a predictive theory of fracture toughness in crystalline solids should now be feasible and should be a high priority for materials theorists. 相似文献

Bayfol® HX200 photopolymer is a holographic recording material used in a variety of applications such as a holographic combiner for a heads-up display and augmented reality, dispersive grating for spectrometers, and notch filters for Raman spectroscopy. For these systems, the thermal properties of the holographic material are extremely important to consider since temperature can affect the diffraction efficiency of the hologram as well as its spectral bandwidth and diffraction angle. These thermal variations are a consequence of the distance and geometry change of the diffraction Bragg planes recorded inside the material. Because temperatures can vary by a large margin in industrial applications (e.g., automotive industry standards require withstanding temperature up to C), it is also essential to know at which temperature the material starts to be affected by permanent damage if the temperature is raised too high. Using thermogravimetric analysis, as well as spectral measurement on samples with and without hologram, we measured that the Bayfol® HX200 material does not suffer from any permanent thermal degradation below C. From that point, a further increase in temperature induces a decrease in transmission throughout the entire visible region of the spectrum, leading to a reduced transmission for an original 82% down to 27% (including Fresnel reflection). We measured the refractive index change over the temperature range from C to C. Linear interpolation give a slope for unexposed film, with the extrapolated refractive index at C equal to . This refractive index change decreases to when the material is fully cured with UV light, with a C refractive index equal to . Spectral properties of a reflection hologram recorded at 532 nm was measured from C to C. A consistent 10 nm spectral shift increase was observed for the diffraction peak wavelength when the temperature reaches C. From these spectral measurements, we calculated a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of by using the coupled wave theory in order to determine the increase of the Bragg plane spacing with temperature. 相似文献

Background and ObjectiveVentilatory inefficiency (high V′E/V′CO2) and resting hypocapnia are common in pulmonary vascular disease and are associated with poor prognosis. Low resting PaCO2 suggests increased chemosensitivity or an altered PaCO2 set-point. We aimed to determine the relationships between exercise gas exchange variables reflecting the PaCO2 set-point, exercise capacity, hemodynamics and V′E/V′CO2.MethodsPulmonary arterial hypertension (n = 34), chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH, n = 19) and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD, n = 6) patients underwent rest and peak exercise arterial blood gas measurements during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Patients were grouped according to resting PaCO2: hypocapnic (PaCO2 ≤34 mmHg) or normocapnic (PaCO2 35–45 mmHg). The PaCO2 set-point was estimated by the maximal value of end-tidal PCO2 (maximal PETCO2) between the anaerobic threshold and respiratory compensation point.ResultsThe hypocapnic group (n = 39) had lower resting cardiac index (3.1 ±0.8 vs. 3.7 ±0.7 L/min/m2, p < 0.01), lower peak V′O2 (15.8 ± 3.5 vs. 20.7 ± 4.3 mL/kg/min, p < 0.01), and higher V′E/V′CO2 slope (60.6 ± 17.6 vs. 38.2 ± 8.0, p < 0.01). At peak exercise, hypocapic patients had lower PaO2, higher VD/VT and higher P(a-ET)CO2. Maximal PETCO2 (r = 0.59) and VD/VT (r = −0.59) were more related to cardiac index than PaO2 or PaCO2 at rest or peak exercise. Maximal PETCO2 was the strongest correlate of V′E/V′CO2 slope (r = −0.86), peak V′O2 (r = 0.64) and peak work rate (r = 0.49).ConclusionsResting hypocapnia is associated with worse cardiac function, more ventilatory inefficiency and reduced exercise capacity. This could be explained by elevated chemosensitivity and lower PaCO2 set-point. Maximal PETCO2 may be a useful non-invasive marker of PaCO2 setpoint and disease severity even with submaximal effort. 相似文献
