    Notes: Abstract Clients attending a smokers clinic were randomly allocated to two groups to assess the effects of glucose tablets in reducing craving for cigarettes. Smokers who had already been abstinent for 1 week were eligible to take part in the study. All subjects completed ratings relating to urge to smoke and craving. Then subjects in one group were given packets of dextrose tablets and those in the other group were given packets of tablets containing sorbitol (a low calorie sweetener). Ratings of urges to smoke and craving were taken after 1 week, during which time the subjects had been asked to chew their tablets ad lib. Eight out of ten smokers in each group maintained abstinence. The remaining two smokers either did not abstain or did not turn up for the second measurement session. There was a significant reduction in ratings of urges to smoke and craving in the glucose group compared with the sorbitol group. These results support a theory postulating a link between glucoregulation and cigarette craving. If the results are replicated and it is shown that the reduction in craving translates into improved abstinence rates, oral glucose could be of assistance to smokers wishing to give up.

    Some recent developments in polysilane chemistry (1992)

    Notes: Abstract (I) Ordered and disordered polysilane copolymers: Condensation of ClSiMe2Si(n-Hex)2SiMe2Cl with Na/K in toluene at 90°C produced a polymer with a strongly bimodal molecular weight distribution. The high-M w and low-M w portions were separated by fractional precipitation with 2-propanol, and the properties of the two fractions were investigated.29Si-NMR spectra show that the low-M w fraction is fully ordered but the high-M w fraction is randomized. (II) Liquid crystalline polysilanes: Condensation ofn-Bu(n-Hex)SiCl2 with Na in toluene led to a homopolymer which is a rubbery solid at 25°C. The polymer undergoes a second-order transition at −45°C and a first-order (melt) transition at −20°C. X-ray diffraction shows that the polymer has the same structure, a columnar hexagonal lattice, in all three phases; from −20 to 〉200°C, it exists in a columnar liquid crystalline mesophase. Similar hexagonal mesophases were observed at 25°C for the family of copolymers, (n-Hex2Si) n (Alk2Si) m , Alk =n-Pentyl,n-Bu,n-Pr, Et, Me.
