Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) methods have been used. The ground state geometries, binding energies, spectral properties (UV-vis), frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) analysis, charge analysis and natural bond orbital (NBO) have been investigated. The geometrical parameters are in good agreement with the available experimental data. The metal-ligand binding energies are 1 order of magnitude larger than the physisorption energy of a benzene-1, 2-dthiolate molecule on a metallic surface. The electronic structures of the first raw transition metal series from V to Co have been elucidated by UV-vis spectroscopic using DFT calculations. In accordance with experiment the calculated electronic spectra of these tris complexes show bands at 522, 565, 559, 546 and 863 nm for V3+, Cr3+, Mn3+, Fe3+ and Co3+ respectively which are mainly attributed to ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) transitions. The electronic properties analysis shows that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is mainly centered on metal coordinated sulfur atoms whereas the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is mainly located on the metal surface. From calculation of intramolecular interactions and electron delocalization by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, the stability of the complexes was estimated. The NBO results showed significant charge transfer from sulfur to central metal ions in the complexes, as well as to the benzene. The calculated charges on metal ions are also reported at various charge schemes. The calculations show encouraging agreement with the available experimental data.展开更多

Gradual shift of IR (infrared) spectra by changing the ratios and losing difference between H-form and D-form of Ni-Fe due to isotope effects revealed adsorption of Ni-Fe onto LiMnO2 to form composite materials. Formation of composite materials of Ni-Fe and LiMnO2 could be also proved losing ferromagnetic behavior of LiMnO2 on increasing of the ratios of Ni-Fe in each composite. In contrast to smoothly positive thermal expansion of pure LiMnO2 along the crystallographic b axis, variable temperature powder XRD (X-ray diffraction) patterns at 100-300 K of the composite materials exhibited thermally-accessible lattice distortion along the b axis with different ratios. It is also proved deviation of ideal linear correlation of an evaluation function, In K = a/T + b (where, K = (d(T) - d(0))/d(T), d(T) denotes nλ/(sin 2θ) at T (K)).展开更多

The unsymmetrical neo-confused porphyrin derivatives were introduced as novel materials for the improvement of photo-chemical and photo-physical properties. The density function theory(DFT)and time dependent density function theory(TDDFT) were applied to calculate the absorption spectrum of unsymmetrical neo-confused porphyrin(N-CP) and metal-coordinated N-CP in various solutions. The Ni and Zn coordinated neo-confused porphyrin dipole moment values are smaller than the values of prototype porphyrin(Pro P) and N–CP. According to the electrophilicity index ω, Ni coordinated N–CP(Ni–N–CP) is susceptible to the polarity of solvents, while the Zn coordinated derivative(Zn–N–CP) is more immune to the solvent environment. Unlike the Gouterman's four frontier orbital model of common porphyrin materials, the electron transitions of N–CPs and metalcoordinated N–CPs from H–2 or lower molecular orbitals also contribute to ultraviolet and visible absorption. Most of oscillator strength f values of Zn–N–CP are significantly higher than the values of Ni–N–CP, which reflects the higher absorption intensity of Q and Soret bands. The maximum wavelength at 702.2 nm in vacuum drew our attention to the novel material. The broad absorption range, intense red-shifted Q band and higher stability in solvents suggest that N–CPs, especially Zn–N–CP, can be one class of new candidate dye-sensitized materials.展开更多

Methods Sixty-five patients with CHF were divided into two groups using a randomized, control and single blind method: losartan group (n=30) and convention group (n=35), with a treatment course of 8 weeks for both groups. The concentrations of cystatin C (cys C) in serum, microamount albumin (MA) in urine were measured by immunoturbidimetry. The concentration of aquaporin-2(AQP-2)was determined by enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the heart contractile function was measured by echocardiography before and after treatment respectively. Results Comparing with routine treatment group, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd) decreased significantly, while left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) increased significantly in losartan group. The levels of cys C in serum and MA, AQP-2 in urine were significantly lower in losartan group than in routine treatment group. Conclusion Losartan can improve cardiac and renal function in patients with CHF.展开更多

The intense effort is not without risk. We aimed to see if the relatively cardiospecific biomarkers could show the damage on cardiac muscle cells. Methods: Fourteen cyclists were recruited for an international race (177 km). We studied different cardiac biomarkers, renal function markers and blood cytology. The subjects were submitted to three blood test: one before (T0), one just after (T1) and the last one 3 hours after the race (T3). Results: Blood cytology markers, namely erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and average hemoglobin concentration, were found to evolve in a similar way. Renal function markers, such as creatinin, cystatin C and uric acid, showed a post effort increase that might be related to renal blood flow depletion during exercise. Cardiac and muscular markers were all increased at T1. Conclusions: Physiological stress induced by an international cycling race certainly has consequences on cardiac muscle cells. Fortunately, those blood concentration variations are more representative of a transitional state, due to an imbalance created by an intense aerobic effort maintained during several hours, rather than an irreversible injury.展开更多

It is found that the adsorption of atomic S and C on the high coordinate hollow site is more energetically favorable than that on other adsorption sites. S atom is favorable to be adsorbed at on-surface site and C atom is favorable to be adsorbed at subsurface site. The results suggest that when the coverage increases, the binding energy for S and C atoms will decrease and the interaction between adsorbed atoms tends to be stronger. It indicates that as coverage increases, S-Mg and C-Mg interaction weakens.展开更多

文摘In this study, the first raw transition metals from V to Co complexes with benzene-1,2-dithiolate (L2-) ligand have been studied theoretically to elucidate the geometry, electronic structure and spectroscopic properties of the complexes. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) methods have been used. The ground state geometries, binding energies, spectral properties (UV-vis), frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) analysis, charge analysis and natural bond orbital (NBO) have been investigated. The geometrical parameters are in good agreement with the available experimental data. The metal-ligand binding energies are 1 order of magnitude larger than the physisorption energy of a benzene-1, 2-dthiolate molecule on a metallic surface. The electronic structures of the first raw transition metal series from V to Co have been elucidated by UV-vis spectroscopic using DFT calculations. In accordance with experiment the calculated electronic spectra of these tris complexes show bands at 522, 565, 559, 546 and 863 nm for V3+, Cr3+, Mn3+, Fe3+ and Co3+ respectively which are mainly attributed to ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) transitions. The electronic properties analysis shows that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is mainly centered on metal coordinated sulfur atoms whereas the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is mainly located on the metal surface. From calculation of intramolecular interactions and electron delocalization by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, the stability of the complexes was estimated. The NBO results showed significant charge transfer from sulfur to central metal ions in the complexes, as well as to the benzene. The calculated charges on metal ions are also reported at various charge schemes. The calculations show encouraging agreement with the available experimental data.

文摘Though the photo-physical properties of free base porphyrin are attractive, there are still problems for the materials with weak and narrow range absorption of visible light. The unsymmetrical neo-confused porphyrin derivatives were introduced as novel materials for the improvement of photo-chemical and photo-physical properties. The density function theory(DFT)and time dependent density function theory(TDDFT) were applied to calculate the absorption spectrum of unsymmetrical neo-confused porphyrin(N-CP) and metal-coordinated N-CP in various solutions. The Ni and Zn coordinated neo-confused porphyrin dipole moment values are smaller than the values of prototype porphyrin(Pro P) and N–CP. According to the electrophilicity index ω, Ni coordinated N–CP(Ni–N–CP) is susceptible to the polarity of solvents, while the Zn coordinated derivative(Zn–N–CP) is more immune to the solvent environment. Unlike the Gouterman's four frontier orbital model of common porphyrin materials, the electron transitions of N–CPs and metalcoordinated N–CPs from H–2 or lower molecular orbitals also contribute to ultraviolet and visible absorption. Most of oscillator strength f values of Zn–N–CP are significantly higher than the values of Ni–N–CP, which reflects the higher absorption intensity of Q and Soret bands. The maximum wavelength at 702.2 nm in vacuum drew our attention to the novel material. The broad absorption range, intense red-shifted Q band and higher stability in solvents suggest that N–CPs, especially Zn–N–CP, can be one class of new candidate dye-sensitized materials.

The concentration of aquaporin-2(AQP-2)was determined by enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the heart contractile function was measured by echocardiography before and after treatment respectively. Results Comparing with routine treatment group, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd) decreased significantly, while left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) increased significantly in losartan group. The levels of cys C in serum and MA, AQP-2 in urine were significantly lower in losartan group than in routine treatment group. Conclusion Losartan can improve cardiac and renal function in patients with CHF.
文摘Objectives: Over the past two decades, a large interest in cardiac marker elevations has developed in endurance sports events. The intense effort is not without risk. We aimed to see if the relatively cardiospecific biomarkers could show the damage on cardiac muscle cells. Methods: Fourteen cyclists were recruited for an international race (177 km). We studied different cardiac biomarkers, renal function markers and blood cytology. The subjects were submitted to three blood test: one before (T0), one just after (T1) and the last one 3 hours after the race (T3). Results: Blood cytology markers, namely erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and average hemoglobin concentration, were found to evolve in a similar way. Renal function markers, such as creatinin, cystatin C and uric acid, showed a post effort increase that might be related to renal blood flow depletion during exercise. Cardiac and muscular markers were all increased at T1. Conclusions: Physiological stress induced by an international cycling race certainly has consequences on cardiac muscle cells. Fortunately, those blood concentration variations are more representative of a transitional state, due to an imbalance created by an intense aerobic effort maintained during several hours, rather than an irreversible injury.
文摘First-principle calculations based on density functional theory were used to study the adsorption of atomic sulfur and carbon on the Mg(0001) surface in a wide range of coverages from 1/4 ML(monolayer) to 1 ML. It is found that the adsorption of atomic S and C on the high coordinate hollow site is more energetically favorable than that on other adsorption sites. S atom is favorable to be adsorbed at on-surface site and C atom is favorable to be adsorbed at subsurface site. The results suggest that when the coverage increases, the binding energy for S and C atoms will decrease and the interaction between adsorbed atoms tends to be stronger. It indicates that as coverage increases, S-Mg and C-Mg interaction weakens.
文摘This study investigated the effect of catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation (RD) on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and systolic and diastolic function in patients with resistant hypertension. LVH and diastolic dysfunction are associated with elevated sympathetic activity and increased morbidity and mortality. The effect of RD on LVH and LV function is unclear
文摘目的本研究旨在探讨使用胱抑素C(cystatin C,CysC)估算肾小球滤过率(estimated glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C,eGFR-CysC)确定的肾功能与心脏磁共振(cardiovascular magnetic resonance,CMR)成像评估的左心室(left ventricular,LV)结构及功能之间的关系。方法从英国生物银行(UK Biobank,UKB)数据库中筛选具有eGFR-CysC和CMR数据的一般人群,使用多元线性回归模型探讨肾功能与心脏表型之间的关联。结果共筛选35847名UKB参与者,eGFR每降低一个标准差(14.21 mL/min/1.73 m^(2)),LV容积变小(舒张末期容积,β=1.359;收缩末期容积,β=0.492),LV搏出量减少(β=0.889),LV质量降低(β=0.639),LV同心度增加(β=-0.002),LV收缩功能受损(β=0.108,P均<0.05)。结论肾功能降低与不良心脏表型之间存在明显关联,独立于心脏代谢疾病等因素。早期积极干预可能有助于预防不良心脏重塑的进展。
