Methods: There were thirty cases of pathologically proven brain tumor, including 6 Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade astrocytomas, 7 Ⅲ grade anaplastic astrocytomas, 10 IV grade glioblastomas and 7 meningiomas. Used Varian Company 600 MHz spectrometer with the Nano-probe for acquisition HRMASJHMRS, which was postprocessed with jMRUI 3.2 version software. These metabolic probability and their ratios to Cr were summed. Results: (1) HRMAS-^1HMRS could resolve NAA, PCr/Cr, GPC ± PCho ± Cho, Glu/GIn, Gly, Tau, Ala, Lac, ml and so on. All samples showed Lac, 6 samples showed unknown single peak at 3.72 ppm or 3.90 ppm. (2) The mean Cho/Cr of 6 Ⅰ-ⅡI grade astrocytomas was 2.42 ± 1.01 (P = 0.003, compared with glioblastoma). The mean Cho/Cr of 7 anaplastic astrocytomas was 3.48 ± 0.59 (P = 0.01, compared with glioblastoma). The Cho/Cr of 10 glioblastomas broadly ranged from 0.9 to 11.3 (mean 5.40 ± 1.23). From Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade astrocytoma to glioblastoma, Ala/Cr, Tau/Cr and Gly/Cr trends were increased; the mean Ala/Cr of glioma was 0.31 ± 0.13. (3) Meningiomas showed higher Ala and Cho. Their Cr was lower than that of gliomas. 4/7 cases had no NAA, 3/7 patients had lower NAA. Mean Cho/Cr was 3.56 ± 1.01, Ala/Cr was 0.53 ±0.28 (P = 0.006, compared with glioma). Conclusion: HRMAS-^1HMRS can show further details in vivo MRS, resolve in vivo spectroscopic metabolite of Cho compound and differentiate the extent of benign and malignant glioma. With the increase in the malignant degree of gliomas, Cho, ml, Ala, Tau and Gly will increase. HRMAS-^1HMRS is the only method of isotropic spectroscopy for pathological specimens.展开更多

In multilayer systems, extrinsic interfacial scattering, along with scattering from defects or impurities inside the materials, plays a crucial role in affecting the SOT efficiency. In this study, we successfully fabricated high-quality epitaxially grown [Ir/Pt]N superlattices with an increasing number of interfaces using a magnetron sputtering system to investigate the contribution of extrinsic interfacial scattering to SOT efficiency. We measured SOT efficiency through spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance methods and determined the spin Hall angle using the spin pumping technique. Additionally, we calculated spin transparency based on the SOT efficiency and spin Hall angle. Our findings indicate that the values of SOT efficiency, spin Hall angle, and spin transparency are enhanced in the superlattice structure compared to Pt, which we attribute to the increase in interfacial scattering.This research offers an effective strategy for designing and fabricating advanced spintronic devices.展开更多

It is found that, in B2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 glass, the boron (4), and Al(5), Al(6) changes to Al(4). On the other hand, compared with Ba^2+ , RE^3+ can accumulate the boron network because of its higher field strength, which results in a large network structure. With the increase of samarium oxide, the silicate coordination Qa(3T) will have predominance gradually. Heat-treatment has little effect on the boron and aluminum coordination sites in the glass structure.展开更多

The results show that the acid site density, acid intensity and hydrothermal stability of ZSM-5 zeolite were improved by phosphorus modification. When P2O5 content in ZSM-5 zeolite is higher than 2.5%, phosphorus modification can prevent ZSM-5 zeolite crystal structure transformation from orthorhombic to monoclinic. In addition, the dealumination of ZSM-5 zeolite framework was moderated by phosphorus modification under high temperature hydrothermal treatment. The results of n-octane pyrolysis on phosphorus-modified ZSM-5 zeolites show that ethylene yields of zeolites with different phosphorus content are almost the same under the same n-octane conversion. However, the modified zeolites with higher pyrolysis activity give lower yield of propene, butene and total olefin than lower pyrolysis activity under the same n-octane conversion.展开更多

Male Wistar rats were administrated with various doses of Ce(NO3)3(2, 10, and 50 mg·kg^- 1 body weight), and MAS ^1H NMR spectra of intact liver and kidney tissues were analyzed using principal component analysis to extract toxicity information. The biochemical effects of Ce(NO3)3 were characterized by the increase of triglycerides and lactate and the decrease of glycogen in rat liver tissue, together with an elevation of the triglyceride level and a depletion of glycerophosphocholine and betaine in kidney tissues. The target lesions of Ce(NO3)3 on liver and kidney were found by MAS NMR-based metabonomic method. This study demonstrates that the combination of MAS ^1H NMR and pattern recognition analysis can be an effective method for studies of biochemical effects of rare earths.展开更多

The RT method can prepare MCM-41 materials containing large amounts of Mg while maintaining the structural characteristics of MCM-41 even at very low Si/Mg ratios(large Mg loadings), but the HT method cannot. The RT method can also give more active catalysts than the HT method, because the catalysts prepared by the RT method are more basic than those prepared by the HT one. The characterization indicates that Mg atoms in the Mg-MCM-41 prepared by the RT method exist as MgO disperses well on the wall surface of pores, while those in Mg-MCM-41 prepared by the HT method are included in the bulk with a smectite-like structure.展开更多

The nitrogen forms in these polymers were studied by using the 15N cross polarization-magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS NMR) technique in combination with chemical methods. The 15N nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data showed that while the yield, especially the MHA/MFA ratio, varied considerably with the concentrations of the reactants, the nitrogen distribution patterns of these polymers were quite similar.From 65% to 70% of nitrogen in them was in the secondary amide and/or indole form with 24%~25% present as aliphatic and/or aromatic ammes and 5% to 11% as pyrrole and/or pyrrole-like nitrogen. More than half (50%~77%) of the N in these polymers were nonhydrolyzable. The role of Maillard reaction in the formation of nonhydrolyzable nitrogen in soil organic matter is discussed.展开更多

文摘Background Although Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) has been considered a diagnostic imaging technique that observes more perspectives for diseases,few people have applied it surgically.In fact,MPR is also very useful to clinical operation,especially for patients with type B aortic dissection.It helps the surgeon to locate accurately with more information about aortic dissection,so that the safety and effectiveness of operation can be improved.This study examined the application of the MPR in intraoperative DSA imaging for precise positioning by accurately obtaining a crosssection,a spin angle of the coronal plane,and a tilt angle of the sagittal plane in treatment of type B aortic dissection.Methods The conventional and the MPR approaches were compared on positioning the aortic arch for surgery.A group of 40 patients (group A) and another group of 42 patients (group B) was sampled.About the comparison of baseline characteristics,a fourfold table X2 test was conducted on gender,and two independent samples t-test was applied to age between group A and group B.Spin as well as tilt angles for group A were obtained from the patients using both approaches,and their effectiveness was compared with pair t-tests; The MPR data guided stent-grafting in this group.Stent graft placement of group B was based on the conventional approach.Percentages of proximal distributed markers as well as incidences of complications were collected from both groups after stent graft placement.They were also compared with a fourfold table X2 test.Results Gender difference was not found between group A and group B (X2=0.80,P >0.05),and age difference was not statistically significant (F=2.55,homogeneity of variance,t=-1.46,P >0.05).A significant difference was found between the conventional and the MPR approaches for spin angle (t=9.17) as well as tilt angle (t=-2.07),P <0.05.Percentage of proximal distributed markers (5.0%) of group A was significantly lower than that of group B (42.9%),X2=15.92,P <0.05;and incidence of complications (5.0%) of group A was also significant lower than that of group B (21.4%),X2=4.76,P <0.05.Conclusions Application of the MPR facilitated intraoperative angle adaption and led to satisfactory DSA.It is feasible in endovascular treatment of type B aortic dissection,and can effectively and safely guide surgical operations.
文摘Cancer is one of the most serious diseases that cause an enormous number of deaths all over the world.Tumor metabolism has great discrimination from that of normal tissues.Exploring the tumor metabolism may be one of the best ways to find biomarkers for cancer detection,diagnosis and to provide novel insights into internal physiological state where subtle changes may happen in metabolite concentrations.Nuclear Magnetic Resonance(NMR)technique nowadays is a popular tool to analyze cell extracts,tissues and biological fluids,etc,since it is a relatively fast and an accurate technique to supply abundant biochemical information at molecular levels for tumor research.In this review,approaches in tumor metabolism are discussed,including sample collection,data profiling and multivariate data analysis methods etc.Some typical applications of NMR are also summarized in tumor metabolism.
