    Abstract Background Previous studies have stressed the importance of tobacco exposure for the mood disorders of depression and anxiety. Although a few studies have focused on perinatal women, none have specifically considered the effects of smoking and secondhand smoke exposure on perinatal suicidal ideation. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the relationships of smoking/secondhand smoke exposure status with suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety from the first trimester to the first month post partum. Methods This cross-sectional study based on self-reported data was conducted at five hospitals in Taipei, Taiwan from July 2011 to June 2014. The questionnaire inquired about women’s pregnancy history, sociodemographic information, and pre-pregnancy smoking and secondhand smoke exposure status, and assessed their suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Logistic regression models were used for analysis. Results In the 3867 women in the study, secondhand smoke exposure was positively associated with perinatal depression and suicidal ideation. Compared with women without perinatal secondhand smoke exposure, women exposed to secondhand smoke independently exhibited higher risks for suicidal ideation during the second trimester (odds ratio (OR) = 7.63; 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 3.25–17.93) and third trimester (OR = 4.03; 95 % CI = 1.76–9.23). Women exposed to secondhand smoke had an increased risk of depression, especially those aged 26–35 years (OR = 1.71; 95 % CI = 1.27–2.29). Conclusions Secondhand smoke exposure also considerably contributes to adverse mental health for women in perinatal periods, especially for the severe outcome of suicidal ideation. Our results strongly support the importance of propagating smoke-free environments to protect the health of perinatal women.

    透過氫氣作用控制磁性層間交互耦合效應
    (2017) 陳宜樺; Chen, Yi-Hua
    　　長期以來，鈀一直作為氫氣解離和吸附的高效催化劑。在鈀合金或內米結構中，鈀的氫化容易引起相鄰材料有顯著的鄰近效應。在本實驗中，我們在超高真空中使用電子束蒸發磊晶法，在MgO (001)的基底上製備了磁性界面耦合系統。通過退火處理，可以得到平坦的MgO (001)表面，用來沉積Fe/Pd/Fe三層膜。 　　在一定鈀的厚度下，通過磁光柯爾效應在平行(In-Plane)方向，可以在Fe/Pd/Fe/MgO(001)系統中觀察到清楚的雙磁滯曲線。這現象說明頂層和底層鐵層之間的反鐵磁耦合。隨著室溫下的氫氣脫吸附，反鐵磁層間耦合有明顯的變化，如雙磁滯曲線的矯頑場變化所示。這結果表示，鐵/鈀多層膜系統未來可以應用為敏感性高的氫氣感測GMR傳感器
