The crystallization of copolyesters with high comonomer content was observed by both wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the copolyesters become less crystallizable with the involvement of the comonomer, the crystals of crystallizable copolyesters come from PTT or PET homopolymers. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the copolyester increases with increasing PET component in the copolyester, and the relationship between Tg and composition obey both Fox equation and additive law, the former is better in describing this relationship.展开更多

The classic presentation of celiac disease includes symptoms of malabsorption but has long been associated with cognitive, emotional, and behavioral disorders. We describe an 8-year-old patient with nonscarring alopecia and diagnosed with trichotillomania. Furthermore, she presented with a 3-year history of poor appetite and two or three annual episodes of mushy, fatty stools. Laboratory investigations showed a normal hemoglobin concentration and a low ferritin level. Serologic studies showed an elevated tissue immunoglobulin G anti-tissue transglutaminase level. A duodenal biopsy showed subtotal villous atrophy and crypt hyperplasia, and a large gastric trichobezoar was found in the stomach. Immediately after beginning a gluten-free diet, complete relief of trichotillomania and trichophagia was achieved. In this report, we describe a behavioral disorder as a primary phenomenon of celiac disease, irrespective of nutritional status.展开更多
