Cyclodextrin microspheres (CDMS) was synthesized by 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate and β-cyclodextrin, and applied to prepare the cyclodextrin microspheres modified epoxy resin(CDEP). The microscopic morphology and dispersibility of CDMS in epoxy resin were characterized. Crosslinking density and dielectric properties of CDMS modified epoxy resin were investigated.The T300 carbon fiber fabric/modified epoxy composite was prepared. The X-ray penetration properties of the composite were investigated and X-ray penetration mechanism was proposed. The results show that the dispersibility of spherical CDMS in epoxy resin is good and its average diameter is about (11.5±2) μm. As mass fraction of CDMS is increased from 0% to 5%, the crosslink density of epoxy resin is reduced from 2.50×10-2 mol·cm-3 to 2.35×10-2 mol·cm-3 and dielectric constant is decreased from 4.10 to 3.43. X-ray penetration of composites is increased from 94.97% to 96.82% at 30 kV tube voltage. The number of collisions of X-rays inside the composite is reduced by the cavity structure of the microspheres, which effectively improves the X-ray penetration performance of composites.

With the development of society, the improvement of living standards and the advancement of research methods, olfactory function has been paid more and more attention. Therefore, higher requirements for the forensic identification of olfactory function have also been put forward. Standardization construction of forensic medical examination and identification of olfactory dysfunction is urgently needed. Based on a comprehensive review of olfactory function and forensic assessment of olfactory dysfunction, this paper elaborates on problems related to the principles and timing of forensic assessment of olfactory dysfunction, the requirements of identification of traumatic olfactory dysfunction, the subjective and objective methods of examination of olfactory function. Strict control of the above issues is an important mean of standardization of forensic assessment of olfactory dysfunction.

Objective To analyze the cases of medical disputes involving prenatal examination from a point of view of forensic expertise, and to discuss the risk of medical disputes and the preventive measures. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 49 forensic expertise cases of medical disputes in prenatal examination which were identified in Academy of Forensic Science and Shanghai Di’an Forensic Science Limited Company from 2010 to 2017. Results In recent years, the number of medical disputes involving prenatal examination showed an increasing trend year by year. The common causes of medical disputes were: uninformed or insufficiently informed disclosure （20 cases）; the propaganda and application of three-dimensional, four-dimensional ultrasound were not standardized （14 cases）; ultrasound examination and serological screening process were not standardized （12 cases）; no antenatal counseling （2 cases）, etc. Conclusion In order to minimize the occurrence of such medical disputes, hospitals or related associations should avoid the risk of prenatal examination through the standardization of management and operation.

Objective To study the case characteristics of forensic medical identification of traumatic tympanic membrane perforations, and to discuss the key points of forensic medical identification and evaluations methods for tympanic membrane perforations. Methods Twenty-four cases of traumatic tympanic membrane perforations accepted by the Academy of Forensic Science during 2017 were retrospectively analysed. The data of perforation size, form, predilection site, healing time and healing mode were evaluated. Results For the traumatic tympanic membrane perforations, the study showed that the small size of perforation （

The development of high-performance multispectral photodetector with narrowband and tunable spectral sensitivity is of importance but remains highly challenging to date. Here, we have reported on the fabrication of a Si Au/n-type Si/Au photodetector with tunable narrowband sensitivity not only in ultraviolet but also in near-infrared region, which is related to the controlled charge collection narrowing (CCN) mechanism. What is more, the negative response peak of the device can be readily tuned from 365 to 605 nm, and the positive response peak can be modulated from 938 to 970 nm when the bias varies from 0.1 to −0.1 V. In particular, the full-width at half-maximum is as small as 92 and 117 nm when the negative and positive response peaks approach the ultraviolet short wavelength end and near-infrared long wavelength end, respectively. The opposite polarity of the device responses in ultraviolet-visible and near-infrared regions renders the present Si photodetector potentially important in future multiple band optoelectronic systems.
