    Notes: Abstract Previous studies have shown a lorazepam effect on visual perception. We tested whether this impairment resulted from a peripheral effect induced by benzodiazepines. A first experiment showed that a single dose of lorazepam induces an oculomotor imbalance without impairing visual acuity or accommodation. In a second experiment, we tested whether the impairment induced by lorazepam on visual perception still occurred in monocular vision. Subjects matched incomplete forms controlled on the spacing and alignment of their local contour elements. A reference object was first displayed and followed by two laterally displayed objects, a target and a distractor. The distractor was the mirror-reversed version of the target. Performance was impaired in the lorazepam group when the reference was an incomplete form with a spacing of 10.8' or 22.2' of arc. These results were not correlated with sedation. They confirm that lorazepam has a central deleterious effect on visual perception. A posthoc analysis also suggested that lorazepam-treated subjects used asymmetry in the stimuli as a compensatory strategy. This result is discussed in relation to previous hypotheses about the physiological mechanisms that determine the effects of lorazepam on visual perception.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of a typical neuroleptic, haloperidol (1 and 2 mg orally), of an atypical neuroleptic, amisulpride (50 and 100 mg) and of a placebo on motor and cognitive skill learning were assessed in 60 healthy volunteers using repeated testing on the Tower of Toronto puzzle. Subjects were asked to solve three blocks of eight trials and, at distance from drug administration, a fourth block. The puzzle was connected to a computer in order to obtain a precise timing of individual moves. Two components of cognitive skill learning were assessed, the ability to learn to solve the puzzle and the acquisition of a problem-solving routine. Subjective feelings of effort and automatisation of the task were assessed using a questionnaire. Like placebo-treated subjects, neuroleptic-treated subjects were able to acquire a motor skill, to learn to solve the puzzle and to acquire a routine. However, haloperidol 2 mg-treated subjects needed significantly more moves to solve the puzzle in blocks 3 and 4, some of them having routinised a non-optimal solution. A significant cognitive slowing was observed in the haloperidol 1mg group in block 4. The performance pattern and verbal reports suggested that haloperidol impaired the higher cognitive functions such as the ability to shift from one strategy to another and/or to assess one’s performance accurately, possibly leading to the development of compensatory strategies. The only deleterious amisulpride effect was a cognitive slowing in block 4, which was observed in the lower dose group.

    Notes: High-intensity pulse radiolysis, using a Febetron, has made it possible to obtain in a few microseconds homogeneous H2O2 concentrations of about 10-4 to 10-3M without any other reactive radiolytical product. The kinetics of the reaction of this H2O2 with a solute have been studied as a function of time for periods ranging from tens of microseconds to tens of milliseconds.An analytical model of this method is presented and then compared with the results of experiments in which the H2O2 concentrations are measured. The rate constant for the peroxidation of pentavalent vanadium is determined to be k = (5.7 ± 0.5) × 103M-1 plusmn; s-1.

    Description / Table of Contents: In the B2O3—MO—MS (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Cd) systems six ternary phases have been isolated, four of them having the structure of the cubic variety of the boracite, Mg3B7O13Cl, and two the structure of the sodalite, Na4(SiAlO4)3Cl. Some properties of the new phases have been investigated.

    Notes: A symbolic mechanism “μH, YH” has been proposed to account for the homogeneous chain pyrolysis of an organic compound μH in the presence of a hydrogenated additive YH at small extents of reaction. An analysis of this mechanism leads to two limiting cases: the thermal decomposition of neopentane corresponds to the first one (A), that of ethane to the second one (B). Previous experimental work has shown that this mechanism seems to account for a number of experimental observations, especially the inhibition of alkane pyrolyses by alkenes.Experimental investigations were extended by examining the influences oftwo hydrogen halides (ClH and BrH) upon the pyrolyses of neopentane (at 480°C) and ethane (around 540°C). The experiments have been performed in a conventional static Pyrex apparatus and reaction products have been analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography.The study shows that ClH and BrH accelerate the pyrolysis of neopentane (into i-C4H8 + CH4). The experimental results are interpreted by reaction schemes which appear as examples of the mechanism “μH, YH” in the first limiting case (A). The proposed schemes enable one to understand why the accelerating influence of ClH is lower or higher than that of BrH, depending on the concentration of the additive. An evaluation of the rate constant of the elementary steps neo-C5H11 · → i-C4H8 + CH3 · is discussed.In the case of ethane pyrolysis, BrH inhibits the formation of the majorproducts (C2H4 + H2) and, even more, that of n-butane traces. The experimental results are interpreted by a reaction scheme which appears as an example of the mechanism “μH, YH” in the second limiting case (B). On the contrary, ClH has no noticeable influence on the reaction kinetics. This result inessentially due to the fact that the bond dissociation energy of Cl—H(⋍103 kcal/mol) is higher than that of C2H5 - H (⋍98 kcal/mol), whereas that of Br - H (⋍88 kcal/mol) is lower.
