Copper was used as the cathode, graphite as the anode, and a cation membrane as the separator. The results show that N-MHA with a high purity of 99% can be electrosynthesized directly from nitromethane in HC1 solution. Under a constant current of 1000-2500A.m^-2 in the temperature of 30-50℃, the average yield, current efficiency, and reaction selectivity were 65%, 70%, and 99%, respectively. Graphite electrode and membrane material can be used continuously in the preparative electrolysis for 5000h. Moreover, the effects of the electrode and membrane materials, current intensity, electrolyte temperature, and other associated parameters on the electrosynthesis results were investigated. The direct current power consumption was 8151.3kW-h-(1000kg N-MHA)^ -1. This method is a simple separation process with limited contamination and hence, is a new green synthesis method for the industrial production of N-MHA.展开更多

METHODS: A cohort of 229 unrelated patients with UC recruited from a single centre and 261 healthy volunteers were analysed for the presence of Thr105Ile and His645Asp amino acid substitutions at histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) and diamine oxidase (ABP1) enzymes, respectively, by amplification-restriction procedures. All patients were phenotyped and followed up for at least 2 years (mean time 11 years). RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the distribution of ABP1 alleles between ulcerative colitis patients and healthy individuals [OR (95% CI) for variant alleles = 1.22 (0.91-1.61)]. However, mutated ABP1 alleles were present with higher frequency among the 58 patients that required immunosuppresive drugs [OR (95 % CI) for carriers of mutated alleles 2.41 (1.21-4.83; P=0.006)], with a significant gene-dose effect (P= 0.0038). In agreement with the predominant role of ABP1 versus HNMT on local histamine metabolism in human bowel, the frequencies for carriers of HNMT genotypes or mutated alleles were similar among patients,regardless clinical evolution, and control individuals. CONCLUSION: The His645Asp polymorphism of the histamine metabolising enzyme ABP1 is related to severity of ulcerative colitis.展开更多

All of the materials are very soluble in common organic solvents such as dichloro- methane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. The Q band wavelengths of the com- plexes decrease in the order: Zn 〉 Cu 〉 Ni 〉 Co. Redox processes were observed at -1.06, -0.74, 0.51 and 0.98 V for the free phthalocyanine, at -0.72 and 1.04 V for the Co(Ⅱ) complex, at -1.24, -0.77, -0.24, 0.61 and 0,91 V for the Cu(Ⅱ) complex, and at -0.74 and 1.20 V for the Ni(Ⅱ) complex. The cyclic voltammograms of the phthalocyanine ring of the four species are similar, with reduction and oxidation couples each involving a one-electron transfer process.展开更多
