Silica microbeads capture fetal nucleated red blood cells for noninvasive prenatal testing of fetal ABO genotype

ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn (ABO-HDN), which may cause neonatal jaundice and polycythemia, or even stillbirth or neonatal death, is widespread in China. Prenatal testing for the fetal ABO blood group can reduce unnecessary concerns or ensure prompt treatment. Herein, we presented a method to employ high-density silica microbeads (SiO₂ MBs) for capturing fetal nucleated red blood cells (fnRBCs) in maternal peripheral blood, and we detected the ABO genotype of the fetus using these captured cells. We evaluated 52 patients using the SiO₂ MBs. Among 26 pregnant women with type O blood, 8 (30.8%) of the fetuses had type A blood, 5 (19.2%) had type B blood, and 13 (50%) had type O blood. SRY genes were detected in all 27 male fetuses. This study represents a simple and effective method for noninvasive prenatal detection of the fetal ABO genotype. We believe that this method has great potential for noninvasive prenatal testing of the fetal Rh blood group and other fetal diseases as well.     

有机络合剂去除活化法生产活性炭的回收磷酸液中铁离子

用磷酸液活化活性炭,磷酸液可重复回收利用,由于木屑、炭屑等原材料的影响,用于反复活化浸渍的磷酸液中铁含量将从小于10 μg/g上升到几百μg/g,甚至更高,不能满足医药、食品等行业对活性炭中铁离子含量低的要求。对回收来的磷酸液进行除铁纯化具有一定的经济意义。探讨了一种通过用二甲胺(33%)、氢氧化钠(15%)（或氢氧化钾）、二硫化碳三种药品于一定条件下,制得的有机络合沉淀剂,常温下可将回收来的磷酸母液中铁离子除去,除铁效果显著,达到50 μg/g以下,从而使回收的磷酸液能满足医药、食品等行业用活性炭的生产之需。方法工艺简单、成本低,是一种值得推广的应用技术。     

Modular amino acids and β‐amino alcohol‐based chiral ligands for enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes

Enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to a series of aromatic aldehydes was developed using a modular amino acids and ${\bf \beta}$ ‐amino alcohol‐based chiral ligand (2R)‐N‐[(1R,2S)‐1‐hydroxy‐1‐phenylpropan‐2‐yl]‐3‐phenyl‐2‐(tosylamino) propanamide ( 1f ) without using titanium complex. The catalytic system employing 15 mol% of 1f was found to promote the addition of diethylzinc (ZnEt₂) to a wide range of aromatic aldehydes with electron‐donating and electron‐withdrawing substituents, giving up to 97% ee of the corresponding secondary alcohol under mild conditions.

Methylation of zebularine investigated using density functional theory calculations

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation is an epigenetic phenomenon, which adds methyl groups into DNA. This study reveals methylation of a nucleoside antibiotic drug 1‐(β‐D ‐ribofuranosyl)‐2‐pyrimidinone (zebularine or zeb) with respect to its methylated analog, 1‐(β‐D ‐ribofuranosyl)‐5‐methyl‐2‐pyrimidinone (d5) using density functional theory calculations in valence electronic space. Very similar infrared spectra suggest that zeb and d5 do not differ by types of the chemical bonds, but distinctly different Raman spectra of the nucleoside pair reveal that the impact caused by methylation of zeb can be significant. Further valence orbital‐based information details on valence electronic structural changes caused by methylation of zebularine. Frontier orbitals in momentum space and position space of the molecules respond differently to methylation. Based on the additional methyl electron density concentration in d5, orbitals affected by the methyl moiety are classified into primary and secondary contributors. Primary methyl contributions include MO8 (57a), MO18 (47a), and MO37 (28a) of d5, which concentrates on methyl and the base moieties, suggest certain connection to their Frontier orbitals. The primary and secondary methyl affected orbitals provide useful information on chemical bonding mechanism of the methylation in zebularine. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2011
