“暗流体”简介

关于暗流体(Dark fluid)的提出,还要从两个星系团内明、暗物质的分布谈起:子弹星系团在中心发光物质的两侧分布着引力很强的暗物质,而Abell520星系团所显示的景象则是一个被热气体环绕着的暗物质核心,但其周围却不见普通星系的踪迹.     

低钾血症对颅脑创伤患者预后的影响

目的 探讨低钾血症在颅脑创伤患者中的发病情况及其与预后的关系。方法 2010 年6月至2013 年6 月共有168 例住院期间出现低钾血症且年龄≥18 岁的颅脑创伤患者纳入研究。依据低钾血症严重程度的不同,将患者分成轻度组（3.00mmol/L≤血钾＜3.50mmol/L）、中度组（2.50mmol/L≤血钾＜3.00mmol/L）和重度组（血钾＜2.50mmol/L）,各组均采用患者血钾的最低值进行数据分析。高钠血症和低磷血症分别被定义为血钠＞147.00mmol/L 和血磷＜0.80mmol/L。结果 受试患者的血钾在1.10~3.40mmol/L,平均2.90mmol/L。当血钾出现最低值时,与其余两组比较,重度组患者具有更高的血钠和更低的血磷水平（均P＜0.01）。与轻度组（10.5%）或中度组（25.7%）相比,重度组患者的病死率（82.1%）显著上升（均P＜0.01）。多变量逻辑回归分析结果显示,低格拉斯哥昏迷评分（OR=1.28,95%CI=1.12~1.42,P＜0.01）、低血钾（OR=5.57,95%CI=2.76~10.93,P＜0.01）、低血磷（OR=2.76,95%CI=1.11~7.25,P＜0.01）以及高血尿素氮（OR=1.16,95%CI=1.07~1.24,P＜0.01）是导致患者死亡的独立危险因素。结论 颅脑创伤患者是出现低钾血症的高危人群,重度低钾血症的患者更容易合并高钠血症和低磷血症。重度低钾血症和低磷血症是颅脑创伤患者死亡的独立危险因素。     

First-principles characterization of formate and carboxyl adsorption on stoichiometric CeO2(111) and CeO2(110) surfaces

Molecular adsorption of formate and carboxyl on stoichiometric CeO₂(111) and CeO₂(110) surfaces was studied using periodic density functional theory (DFT+U) calculations. Two distinguishable adsorption modes (strong and weak) of formate are identified. The bidentate configuration is more stable than the monodentate adsorption configuration. Both formate and carboxyl bind at the more open CeO₂(110) surface are stronger. The calculated vibrational frequencies of two adsorbed species are consistent with the experimental measurements. Finally, the effects of U parameters on the adsorption of formate and carboxyl over both CeO₂ surfaces were investigated. We found that the geometrical configurations of two adsorbed species are not affected by different U parameters (U = 0, 5, and 7). However, the calculated adsorption energy of carboxyl pronouncedly increases with the U value while the adsorption energy of formate only slightly changes (<0.2 eV). The Bader charge analysis shows the opposite charge transfer occurs for formate and carboxyl adsorption where the adsorbed formate is negatively charge while the adsorbed carboxyl is positively charged. Interestingly, with the increasing U parameter, the amount of charge is also increased.     

Synthesis of Tri- and Disalicylaldehydes and Their Chiral Schiff Base Compounds

A suitable procedure for convenient preparation of 1,3,5-tris(4-hydroxy-5-formylphenyl)benzene (6) was exploited via 5-bromosalicylaldehyde as starting reactant. Among the obtained products, compound 6, 4-methoxy-3-formylphenylboronic acid (9), 1,3,5-tris(4-methoxy-5-formylphenyl)benzene (10), and 4-methoxy-4′-hydroxyl-3,3′-diformyl-1,1′-diphenyl (11) had not been reported previously. Two new chiral Schiff base ligands, L1 and L2, were obtained from the tri- or disalicylaldehydes.     

Improvement in Uranium Adsorption Properties of Amidoxime-Based Adsorbent Through Cografting of Amine Group

Amidoxime (AO)/amine co-functionalized polypropylene fiber adsorbents were prepared. The all-polymeric structures were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), optical microscope, contact angle meter and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis methods, confirming the grafting, modification, and amidoximation stages gravimetrically, spectroscopically, and visually. The properties for the removal of uranyl(VI) from aqueous solutions were investigated. For amidoxime (AO) fiber, high adsorption rate was observed within the first 30 minutes and the plateau value of 40.6% uranium loading (0.0812 mg/g) was reached at around 30 minutes. The adsorption equilibrium for AO/amine fiber was attained within 20 minutes, resulting in the adsorption of 92.6% uranium loading (0.185 mg/g). The percentage of adsorption increases with increasing pH value (2–6), reaches a maximum at pH 6.0 and then remains almost constant for AO/amine fiber, whereas reduces slightly for AO fiber.     

The ring-opening of chiral oxazoline involving pyrrolidone

Chiral N-[1-benzyl-2-hydroxyethyl]-3-[2-oxo-pyrrole]propionamide (C₁₆H₂₂N₂O₃) was obtained unexpectedly from the reaction of oxazoline involving pyrrolidone with copper acetate monohydrate, and the structure was characterized by NMR, IR, elemental analysis, and X-ray analysis.     

A simple and economic method for accurate determination of the energy peak efficiency of 208 keV γ-ray of 237U based on 241Pu/237U secular equilibrium

A new method is developed for the determination of energy peak efficiency of 208 keV γ-ray of ²³⁷U based on ²⁴¹Pu/²³⁷U secular equilibrium. Plutonium solution was purified to remove Am with Dowex 1 × 2 anion exchange chromatography and the concentration of ²⁴¹Pu in the purified solution was determined using ²⁴²Pu isotope-dilution mass spectrometry on an inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The solution can be used as calibration source for the determination of energy peak efficiency of 208 keV γ-ray of ²³⁷U after 48 days. The method was validated for a planar HPGe detector at the 12 mm above the detector surface. The results showed that this is a simple and economic method for determining the energy peak efficiency of gamma detectors for 208 keV γ-ray of ²³⁷U.     

Energy Band Alignment and Redox-Active Sites in Metalloporphyrin-Spaced Metal-Catechol Frameworks for Enhanced CO2 Photoreduction

Two new chemically stable metalloporphyrin-bridged metal-catechol frameworks, InTCP-Co and FeTCP-Co, were constructed to achieve artificial photosynthesis without additional sacrificial agents and photosensitizers. The CO₂ photoreduction rate over FeTCP-Co considerably exceeds that obtained over InTCP-Co, and the incorporation of uncoordinated hydroxyl groups, associated with catechol, into the network further promotes the photocatalytic activity. The iron-oxo coordination chain assists energy band alignment and provides a redox-active site, and the uncoordinated hydroxyl group contributes to the visible-light absorptance, charge-carrier transfer, and CO₂-scaffold affinity. With a formic acid selectivity of 97.8 %, FeTCP-OH-Co affords CO₂ photoconversion with a reaction rate 4.3 and 15.7 times higher than those of FeTCP- Co and InTCP-Co, respectively. These findings are also consistent with the spectroscopic study and DFT calculation.     

Concurrent detection of cabozantinib as an anticancer agent and its major metabolites in human serum using fluorescence-coupled micellar liquid chromatography

A novel, highly sensitive, simple, and rapid strategy was designed and developed for simultaneous determination of cabozantinib (CBZ) as an anticancer agent and its main metabolites including monohydroxy sulfate (EXEL-1646), N-oxide (EXEL-5162(, amide cleavage product (EXEL-5366), and 6-desmethyl amide cleavage product sulfate) EXEL-1644). Measurements were done through a micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) method coupled with fluorescence detection. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed using a Kinetex C18 100 Å column as well as acetonitrile, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB; 0.2 mol.L^?1), and tris buffer (pH 8.5) solutions as the mobile phase at a 40:50:10 (v/v) ratio. The method’s linearity (20 to 700 ng.mL^?1), limit of detection (LOD; 2.11 to 3.69 ng.mL^?1), limit of quantification (LOQ; 20 to 30 ng.mL^?1), intra- and inter-day precisions (RSD < 4.00%), selectivity, recovery, and robustness were fully evaluated. According to the obtained results, the developed method can be used for simple and rapid (~35 min) quantification of CBZ as an anticancer drug and its major metabolites in human serum samples with high sensitivity and low cost.
