Identification of a uromodulin fragment for diagnosis of IgA nephropathy

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common types of glomerulonephritis worldwide and is diagnosed only with a renal biopsy. The purpose of the present studies was to identify the potential biomarkers for the non‐invasive diagnosis of IgAN. The combination of a magnetic bead separation system with matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) was used to analyze urinary peptides of IgAN patients, other glomerulopathy patients, and healthy controls. ClinProTools v.2.0 software was also applied to establish a diagnostic model for IgAN. Our results demonstrated that 11 features had optimal discriminatory performance (p <0.00001). Among these features, the peptide with m/z 1913.14 was identified as a fragment of uromodulin. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for m/z 1913.14 showed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.998 for distinguishing IgAN versus healthy controls, and 0.815 for distinguishing IgAN versus other glomerulopathy. Analysis of urine peptides patterns by the magnetic bead separation system and MALDI‐TOF‐MS was a non‐invasive diagnostic tool. We conclude that the urinary peptide with m/z 1913.14, which was identified as a uromodulin fragment, may be used as a biomarker for the non‐invasive diagnosis of IgAN clinically.

Ag(111)表面Ag配位结构的分等级组装

表面辅助的金属有机纳米结构因其结构稳定性和潜在应用受到广泛关注。在金属有机纳米结构中,金属原子来源于外部沉积的金属或金属表面原子。外部沉积的金属原子种类多样,取决于目标纳米结构。然而,金属表面原子受限于表面科学常用的金、银和铜单晶金属表面。金属有机纳米结构大多包括Au配位或是Cu配位结构,而只有少量的用表面Ag原子构成。分子金属相互作用的进一步研究有助于预期纳米结构的精确控制形成。至于构建基元,有机分子通过M―C、M―N和M―O键与表面金属原子配位。末端炔反应或者乌尔曼耦合能够实现C―M―C节点的形成。Cu和Au原子能够与含有末端氰基或吡啶基官能团的分子配位形成N―M―N键。另外,表面Ag增原子能够通过Ag―N配位键与酞菁分子配位。然而,M―O配位键的相关研究较少。因此,我们计划使用末端羟基分子与Ag增原子配位形成金属有机配位纳米结构去研究O―Ag节点。我们通过扫描隧道显微镜利用4, 4’-二羟基-1, 1’: 3’, 1’’-三联苯分子(4, 4’-dihydroxy-1, 1’: 3’, 1’’-terphenyl,H3PH)和Ag增原子成功构筑了一系列二维有序纳米结构。在室温下,蒸镀的H3PH分子自组装形成由环氢键连接的密堆积结构。当退火温度提升到330 K,一种新的纳米结构出现了,该结构由O―Ag配位键和氢键共同作用形成。进一步地提升退火温度至420 K,蜂巢结构和共存的二重配位链出现,这两种结构中仅由O―Ag―O键构成。为分析金属分子反应路径和O―Ag―O键的能量势垒,我们对该体系进行密度泛函理论计算。计算结果显示,O―Ag键形成的能量势垒是1.41 eV,小于O―Ag―O节点1.85 eV的能量势垒。这也解释了分等级金属-有机纳米结构形成的原因。我们的实验结果提供了一种利用有机小分子和金属增原子来设计和构筑分等级二维纳米结构的有效方法。

1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑甲基磺酸盐水溶液中酚型木质素单体溶解的二维相关红外光谱分析北大核心CSCD

当离子液体(IL)水溶液—1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑甲基磺酸盐([C_(4)C_(1)im]CH_(3)SO_(3))的摩尔分数x_(IL)=0.20时,酚型木质素单体模型化合物2,6-二甲氧基苯酚(2,6-DMP)的溶解度最高。这一现象与木质素溶解规律相似。利用二维相关红外光谱(2D-IR)研究2,6-DMP在[C_(4)C_(1)im]CH_(3)SO_(3)水溶液中溶解过程,以帮助深入理解木质素在IL水溶液中溶解机制。以x_(IL)变量的2D-IR分析结果表明,x_(IL)=0.02~0.20条件下IL加入破坏水的弱氢键结构,IL阴阳离子以水合离子对形式存在,疏水性2,6-DMP与[C_(4)C_(1)im]+和CH_(3)SO_(3)−同时发生相互作用,促进2,6-DMP溶解;x_(IL)=0.20~1.0条件下,IL形成致密离子簇结构,不利于2,6-DMP与IL阴阳离子相互作用。以2,6-DMP摩尔分数(x_(DMP))为变量的分析结果表明,加入2,6-DMP对IL结构影响小,而对水的微观结构影响大。对于具有离子对结构的IL水溶液(x_(IL)=0.10),水优先与CH_(3)SO_(3)−作用;对于具有离子簇结构的IL水溶液(x_(IL)=0.60),水优先形成自缔合小水簇结构。IL水溶液微观结构影响IL-水与2,6-DMP之间相互作用和2,6-DMP溶解特性,同时2,6-DMP溶解也导致IL水溶液的微观结构变化。
