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

The results indicate that the hierarchical beta zeolite consists of nanosized crystals with a meso/ microporous structure and has stronger acid strength than the microporous beta zeolite. The higher conversion oftri-secbutylbenzene (TSBB) and selectivity ofsec-butylbenzene (SBB) are achieved on hierarchical beta zeolite than microporous beta zeolite, while the conversion of di-secbutylbenzene (DSBB) is slightly higher. The improvement of catalytic performance over hierarchical beta zeolite can be ascribed to the presence of mesopores, nanosized crystals and stronger acidity.展开更多

In this study, surface softs from field plots in the Bankhead National Forest, Alabama, USA, were used to investigate possible SOM transformations induced by thinning and burning. Elemental analysis and solid-state 13C cross polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CPMAS NMR) spectroscopy were used to characterize SOM fractions in whole soils, humic substances, and density fractions. Our data revealed that the changes in SOM fractions due to the repeated burning carried out in the forest ecosystem studied were involved mainly with alkyl C, O-alkyl C, and carbohydrate functional groups, implying that most prominent reactions that occurred involved dehydrogenation, de-oxygenation, and decarboxylation. In addition, burning and thinning might have also affected the distribution and composition of free and occluded particulate SOM fractions. The limited structural changes in SOM fractions suggested that low-intensity prescribed fire in the forest ecosystem studied will not create major structural changes in SOM fractions.展开更多
