Beta thalassemia syndromes:New insights

Beta thalassemia(β-thalassemia)syndromes are a heterogeneous group of inherited hemoglobinopathies caused by molecular defects in the beta-globin gene that lead to the impaired synthesis of beta-globin chains of the hemoglobin.The hallmarks of the disease include ineffective erythropoiesis,chronic hemolytic anemia,and iron overload.Clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic carriers to severe anemia requiring lifelong blood transfusions with subsequent devastating complications.The management of patients with severeβ-thalassemia represents a global health problem,particularly in low-income countries.Until recently,management strategies were limited to regular transfusions and iron chelation therapy,with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation available only for a subset of patients.Better understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms ofβ-thalassemia syndromes and associated clinical phenotypes has paved the way for novel therapeutic options,including pharmacologic enhancers of effective erythropoiesis and gene therapy.

Beta-endorphin in serum and seminal plasma in infertile men

Aim： To access beta-endorphin levels in serum as well as seminal plasma in different infertile male groups. Methods： Beta-endorphin was estimated in the serum and seminal plasma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） method in 80 infertile men equally divided into four groups： non-obstructive azoospermia （NOA）, obstructive azoospermia （OA）, congenital bilateral absent vas deferens （CBVAD） and asthenozoospermia. The results were compared to those of 20 normozoospermic proven fertile men. Results： There was a decrease in the mean levels of betaendorphin in the seminal plasma of all successive infertile groups （mean ± SD： NOA 51.30 ± 27.37, OA 51.88 ± 9.47, CBAVD 20.36 ± 13.39, asthenozoospermia 49.26 ± 12.49 pg/mL, respectively） compared to the normozoospermic fertile control （87.23 ± 29.55 pg/mL）. This relation was not present in mean serum level of beta-endorphin between four infertile groups （51.09 ± 14.71, 49.76 ± 12.4, 33.96 ± 7.2, 69.1 ± 16.57 pg/mL, respectively） and the fertile control group （49.26 ± 31.32 pg/mL）. The CBVAD group showed the lowest seminal plasma mean level of beta-endorphin. Testicular contribution of seminal beta-endorphin was estimated to be approximately 40%. Seminal beta-endorphin showed significant correlation with the sperm concentration （r = 0.699, P = 0.0188） and nonsignificant correlation with its serum level （r = 0.375, P = 0.185） or with the sperm motility percentage （r = 0.470, P = 0.899）. Conclusion： The estimation of beta-endorphin alone is not conclusive to evaluate male reproduction as there are many other opiates acting at the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis.

Effect of naloxone on level of plasma beta-endorphin in neonates with severe asphyxia

β-endorphin is the most actively endogenous substance of cerebral endorphin. When combined with opiate receptor specially, it manifests a strong morphine-like activity and can decrease sensitivity of central nervous system to carbon dioxide so as to inhibit breath. OBJECTIVE： To observe the changes of content of plasma β-endorphin in neonates with severe asphyxia after naloxone treatment in a large dosage. DESIGN： Randomized controlled observation. SETTINGS： Department of Pediatrics, Shenzhen Shajing People＇s Hospital; Center of Pediatrics, Guangzhou Zhujiang Hospital. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 97 neonates with severe asphyxia including 57 boys and 40 girls were selected from Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Shenzhen Shajing People＇s Hospital from January 2004 to November 2005.

After hospitalization, 0.1 mg/（kg·d） naloxone hydrochloride （Beijing Sihuan Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.; certification： HI0900021; bullet preparation; 0.4 mg/ampoule） was intravenously dribbled into neonates for 4 - 6 hours, 14 days in total. 2 mL blood was collected from radial artery in neonates at the beginning of hospitalization and at 3 days after naloxone treatment, put in aprotinin-pre-cool tube, mixed evenly, and centrifuged at hypothermia. Plasma was maintained in refrigerator at - 70 ℃. The kit was provided by Neurobiology Department of Shanghai Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. Concentration of plasma β-endorphin was measured by using radio-immunity assay.All data were expressed as Mean ± SD and results were compared with paired t test. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE： Concentration of plasma β-endorphin. RESULTS： All 97 neonates were involved in the final analysis. Concentration of plasma β-endorphin in neonates with severe asphyxia was lower after treatment as compared with that before treatment, and there was significant difference （t = 10.31, P 〈 0.01 ）. CONCLUSION： Naloxone can decrease level of plasma β-endorphin in neonates with severe asphyxia.

BACKGROUND： Several studies have confirmed that endothelin and endorphin are involved in the occurrence of cerebral vasospasm. However, the correlation of these factors to acute cerebral infarction-related risk factors needs to be confirmed. OBJECTIVE： To detect endothelin-1 （ET-1） and beta-endorphin （β -EP） levels in plasma of patients with acute cerebral infarction, and to analyze the correlations of these factors to smoking, alcohol abuse, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, diseased region, diseased degree, gender, and other factors related to acute cerebral infarction. DESIGN： A case-control observation. SETTING： First Department of Neurology, Guangdong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine; Department of Neurology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. PARTICIPANTS： Sixty-nine inpatients with acute cerebral infarction were admitted to the Department of Neurology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University （March 2003-January 2004） and First Department of Neurology, Guangdong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine （March July 2004） and recruited for this study. All 69 inpatients corresponded to the diagnosis criteria of acute cerebral infarction, formulated in the National Working Conference of Cerebrovascular Disease in 1998, and were confirmed as acute cerebral infarction by CT/MRI. The patient group consisted of 35 males [（644- 12） years old] and 34 females[ （674- 13 ） years old]. Among them, 9 patients were smokers, 7 were alcohol users, 48 had a history of hypertension, and 16 had a history of diabetes mellitus. CT/MRI examinations revealed that 35 patients presented with left focus sites, 11 with right ones and 23 with bilateral ones. Following attack, 24 patients had Barthel Index Scale grading 〈 40 points, 21 patients 40-50 points, and 24 patients 〉 60 points. An additional 59 healthy individuals, who received health examinations simultaneously, were included as controls. Among the control subjects, there were 37 males [（62±10） years old] and 22 females [（65±11） years old]. Among them, 7 patients were smokers, and 6 were alcohol users. All controls had no history of stroke, hypertension, or diabetes mellitus. Informed consents of laboratory measurements were obtained from all subjects, and this study was approved by the Hospital Ethics Committee. METHODS： ① Following admission, all subjects were scored by Barthel Index Scale （BIS） and Hamilton Depression Scale. Meanwhile, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, gender, smoking, drinking, and other conditions were recorded. CT/MRI examination was conducted to identify the focus site.②On the 2^nd day after admission, ET-1 and β -EP plasma levels were measured with an automatic ET-1 and β -EP analysis kit. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： ET-1 and β -EP plasma levels and their correlation to acute cerebral infarction-related factors. RESULTS： Sixty-nine patients with acute cerebral infarction, and an additional 59 healthy individuals participated in the final analysis. β ET-1 [（63.80±27.65） ng/L vs. （46.50±9.36） ng/L, P 〈 0.05] and β - EP [（94.18±33.94） mg/L vs. （51.87±23.43） mg/L, P 〈 0.05] levels of the patient group were obviously higher than respective values of the control group. ② The ET-1 and β -EP levels of patients with cerebral infarction did not correlate to hypertension, diabetes mellitus, BIS, depression, cerebral infarct focus, disease course, gender, smoking or drinking （P 〉 0.05）. CONCLUSION： The ET-I and β-EP levels of patients with acute cerebral infarction increased, but they were not obviously associated with disease course, blood pressure, blood glucose, BIS, or other common cerebral infarction-related factors.

草甸草原植物beta多样性高光谱遥感估算方法

目前,全球生物多样性的状态非常堪忧,因此,利用光谱技术估算生物多样性成为了生态学家和遥感学家共同关注的热点。目前关于植物alpha多样性的研究很多,而关于beta多样性的研究较少,仍存在一些问题值得去探索。为了探究利用遥感技术估算植物beta多样性的最佳光谱指数以及最佳影像空间分辨率,以草甸草原为研究区,基于无人机高光谱遥感影像,从光谱距离、光谱角度、生物多样性概念三个方面计算了6种beta多样性估算指数(4种为我们构建的新指数,2种为已有的指数),并采用Mantel tests和相关系数筛选最佳的光谱指数。然后将筛选出来的指数应用于不同空间分辨率的影像,以期得到最佳观测尺度。另外,为了提高指数的估算能力,对比了一阶导数变换和Savitzky-Golay滤波两种光谱变换方法,以及相关系数法、连续投影法、竞争性自适应重加权法三种特征波段选择方法。结果表明,不论是采用亚尺度观测(像元大小<样方大小)还是等尺度观测(像元大小=样方大小),最佳的光谱指数均为光谱距离指数,且光谱距离指数在不同影像空间分辨率下均表现良好。在草原地区,当影像空间分辨率约为0.25 m时,该指数可以取得最佳的估算结果。经一阶导数变换并用相关系数法提取特征波段后构建的光谱距离指数与beta多样性拥有最强的相关性,今后可利用该指数构建估算模型或者直接表征beta多样性。该研究对于科学的选取光谱指数和影像空间分辨率去估算植物beta多样性具有一定的指导意义。

采用晶种辅助蒸气转化(SASC)策略,将有序介孔分子筛Al-SBA-15颗粒直接转化为Beta纳米晶团聚体(BNA).除规则微孔外,BNA含有2种多级介孔结构.研究了骨架组装与多级孔结构的关系.通过调节热分解条件,将P123胶束选择性分解成碳颗粒并分散于Al-SBA-15介孔中,在颗粒内部构建了均匀的三维纳米空间网格.通过浸渍Beta晶种和四乙基铵阳离子(TEA+)强化分子筛成核,采用蒸气处理方法,将Al-SBA-15无定形孔壁在纳米空间中缓慢转化为Beta纳米晶体.通过调节合成参数,使纳米晶体沿Al-SBA-15孔壁方向规则排列,形成有序介观结构.此外,经高温焙烧去除碳颗粒后,BNA内部生成了穴状介孔.实验结果表明,低的溶剂用量可显著降低传质速度,提高骨架组装质量,从而使BNA酸性增强.优异的多级孔结构和较强的酸性使BNA在大分子反应中具有应用潜力.

Beta@ZIF-67复合材料的制备及对聚乳酸塑料的催化降解性能

以聚乳酸(PLA)为代表的可降解塑料被认为是传统石油基塑料的合适替代品.然而,PLA自然降解的时间较长,同时伴随着CO_(2)的排放.因此,升级回收PLA更有利于实现可持续发展.本文通过将沸石咪唑酯骨架(ZIF-67)生长在Beta沸石表面,制备了一种Beta@ZIF-67复合材料.该材料可以实现废弃PLA塑料的高效催化降解,在180℃下反应4 h即可将日常生活中所用PLA塑料完全转化为乳酸甲酯(产率高达76.4%).这种高催化效率得益于复合材料开放的孔道结构和较大的比表面积,以及ZIF-67(Lewis酸/碱)与Beta分子筛(Brønsted酸)所提供活性位点的协同作用.本研究为沸石分子筛复合催化剂的设计合成及用于聚乳酸塑料催化降解提供了新的途径.

高原鼠兔干扰对高寒草甸植物物种和功能性状beta多样性的影响

采用野外空间多点同步取样,分析了高原鼠兔干扰对高寒草甸植物物种beta多样性和植物功能性状beta多样性的影响,确定了高原鼠兔干扰下高寒草甸植物物种和功能性状beta多样性的变化途径,分别提出了高原鼠兔干扰区域内,基于植物物种多样性和功能性状多样性的高寒草甸植物多样性维持策略。结果表明,高原鼠兔干扰使高寒草甸植物物种相似性显著降低了28.1%,植物功能相似性降低了28.7%。尽管高原鼠兔干扰没有改变高寒草甸植物物种和功能性状beta多样性的变化途径,且对植物物种和功能性状的嵌套组分不存在显著影响,但高原鼠兔干扰显著降低了植物物种和功能性状周转组分所占的比例,降幅分别为36.6%和34.3%。高原鼠兔干扰区域内,高寒草甸植物物种beta多样性的变化以周转为主导(周转占比81.4%;嵌套占比:18.6%),植物功能性状beta多样性的变化以嵌套为主导(嵌套占比64.9%;周转占比35.1%)。因此,针对划定的高原鼠兔干扰区,需要同时保护区域内所有高原鼠兔栖息地(多位点保护),以达到维持植物物种多样性的目的,而可以仅通过保护该区域内植物功能性状丰富的位点,即可维持较高的植物功能多样性。

响应面模型用于Beta分子筛催化剂蜂窝状整体式成型的研究

Beta分子筛由于具有独特的三维十二元环孔道结构,可提供更多活性组分附着位点,是在实际应用中具有优异性能的工业催化剂。在工业使用中,蜂窝整体式催化剂具有通量高、流场均匀、压降小、不易堵塞的优点,是气固或者液固催化反应的最优解决方案。但由于Beta分子筛吸水率高,收缩率大,导致蜂窝成型困难,严重限制了Beta分子筛的工业应用。基于此,选择拟薄水铝石(SB粉)为黏结剂、硝酸为胶溶剂、田菁粉为助挤剂,在水粉比为0.6的条件下制备一系列蜂窝整体式成型Beta分子筛催化剂,基于响应面法,评价了各原料的配比对蜂窝整体式催化剂机械强度的影响,得到了催化剂的机械强度与3个因素(黏结剂用量、胶溶剂用量、助挤剂用量)之间关系的二阶多项式近似模型函数。将试验结果与预测值进行对比,证明了预测模型的可靠性,并利用该模型找到最优的Beta分子筛蜂窝成型条件为SB粉质量分数36.1%、硝酸质量分数8.4%、田菁粉质量分数4.7%。

La掺杂改性Co-Beta催化丙烷脱氢

钴基催化剂在高温反应中易团聚烧结,且对其活性中心认识不足。为此设计了一种新型CoLa双金属催化剂,通过稀土金属La隔离并稳定钴物种,从而提高催化剂的反应活性。通过调控La在材料中的掺杂量,建立不同分散度与催化性能之间的构-效关系,以深入了解活性中心。采用XRD、XPS、化学吸附、探针分子红外等表征手段对催化剂中Co物种的存在形式、化学环境和尺寸大小等催化相关性质进行分析。结果表明,La的掺杂可以促进Co物种的分散,并增强Co物种与载体之间的相互作用。

Changes in beta-endorphin neuron numbers and serum hormone levels in the arcuate nucleus of ovariectomized rats undergoing treadmill exercise

BACKGROUND： The arcuate nucleus, when damaged in young rats, can lead to pathological changes in adults, such as osteoporosis. Ovariectomized rats suffer from osteoporosis at eight weeks following surgery and the number of β -endorphin immunoreactive neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus is significantly decreased. OBJECTIVE： To establish a rat model of osteoporosis using ovariectomy and to explore changes in the number of β-endorphin neurons and to correlate any such change with serum hormone levels in response to exercise or rest. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： The completely randomized block design, neural morphology study was performed at the Key Laboratory of Physiology, Guangdong Medical College, China between March 2004 and January 2005. MATERIALS： Sixteen healthy female rats were selected for ovariectomy. METHODS： Following model establishment, rats were assigned to either rest or exercise groups and each rat was housed individually. Rats in the exercise group underwent an exercise regimen using a treadmill. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Eight weeks following exercise, radioimmunoassay was performed to detect serum growth hormone, estrogen and osteocalcin levels. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure changes in the number of β -endorphin neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. Changes in bone metabolism were assessed using bone histomorphometry. RESULTS： In the exercise group, the β -endorphin immunoreactive neurons were high in number, darkly stained, and the nucleus was not obvious. In the rest group, the β -endorphin immunoreactive neurons were low in number and lightly stained. The number of β-endorphin immunoreactive neurons in the exercise group was higher compared with the rest group （t = 2.83, P 〈 0.05）. Estrogen levels were similar between the rest and exercise groups （P 〉 0.05）. Serum osteocalcin and growth hormone levels were significantly higher in the exercise group compared with the rest group （t = 2.78, 2.32, P 〈 0.05）. Compared with the rest group, the percentage of trabecular bone area, trabecular thickness, and trabecular number were significantly increased, but trabecular separation was significantly reduced （t=2.48, 2.57, 2.32, 3.06, P 〈 0.05） in the exercise group. In the exercise group, the trabeculae of the tibia were arranged regularly and were high in number. In the rest group, the trabeculae of the tibia were organized in a disorderly manner and were low in number, with many fat particles. CONCLUSION： Exercise promotes bone growth and delays osteoporosis by inducing an increase in the number of β-endorphin immunoreactive neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus and by increasing serum growth hormone and osteocalcin levels.

基于Beta函数的温度分量模型在混凝土拱坝变形监控中的应用

混凝土拱坝由于具有特殊的超静定壳体结构,对温度尤其敏感,因此拱坝变形监控模型中的温度分量对模型综合性能有显著影响。使用常见的周期三角函数和平均温度等传统温度分量构建方法,无法很好地表示拱坝坝体内部的温度分布与外界温度的滞后效应。因此,提出了一种新的温度滞后特性模拟方法,采用Beta分布来描述滞后影响,并基于Beta函数建立了混凝土拱坝变形监控模型。将基于Beta函数的温度分量模型应用于某拱坝变形监控模型的建立,结果表明监控模型的拟合精度和预测精度均优于传统模型,并表征了前期气温对沿拱向坝体测点变形的影响权重分布,描述了气温对坝体变形的滞后效应。

Pt/Beta催化剂上Pt金属中心/酸中心浓度比对加氢异构化性能的影响

以工业Beta沸石为载体,负载不同含量的Pt,得到了不同金属中心/酸中心浓度比(c_(M)/c_(A))的催化剂,对其进行物化表征,并以正庚烷为模型化合物对不同c_(M)/c_(A)催化剂进行异构化反应性能评价。结果表明:Pt粒子均匀地负载在沸石的外表面上,对沸石结构没有影响,酸性略有下降。对于催化剂的正庚烷异构化反应活性,当催化剂c_(M)/c_(A)小于0.037时,反应过程由金属中心数量控制,产生大量多支链异构体产物和裂化产物;当c_(M)/c_(A)大于0.285时,反应过程由酸中心数量控制,有氢解反应发生。在反应压力为0.4 MPa、反应温度为207℃、质量空速为1.0 h^(-1)、氢/烃摩尔比为5、催化剂质量为1.0 g的条件下,当催化剂c_(M)/c_(A)为0.266、正庚烷转化率为70.75%时,异构体总选择性为95.14%,总收率为67.31%,其中多支链异构体收率为15.63%,裂化产物收率低于5%。

Deactivation mechanism of acetone to isobutene conversion over Y/Beta catalyst

The conversion of acetone derived from biomass to isobutene has attracted extensive attentions.In comparison with Brønsted acidic catalyst,Lewis acidic catalyst could exhibit a better catalytic performance with a higher isobutene selectivity.However,the catalyst stability remains a key problem for the long-running acetone conversion and the reasons for catalyst deactivation are poorly understood up to now.Herein,the deactivation mechanism of Lewis acidic Y/Beta catalyst during the acetone to isobutene conversion was investigated by various characterization techniques,including acetone-temperature-programmed surface reaction,gas chromatography-mass spectrometry,in situ ultraviolet-visible,and ^(13)C cross polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.A successive aldol condensation and cyclization were observed as the main side-reactions during the acetone conversion at Lewis acidic Y sites.In comparison with the low reaction temperature,a rapid formation and accumulation of the larger cyclic unsaturated aldehydes/ketones and aromatics could be observed,and which could strongly adsorb on the Lewis acidic sites,and thus cause the catalyst deactivation eventually.After a simple calcination,the coke deposits could be easily removed and the catalytic activity could be well restored.

不同硅铝比Beta分子筛水蒸气动态吸附性能研究

硅铝沸石分子筛在吸附领域应用广泛,其亲、疏水性能对吸附性能影响较大,但硅铝沸石分子筛在不同条件下的水蒸气动态吸附性能尚不明确。采用不同硅铝比(n(SiO_(2))/n(Al_(2)O_(3))=30、135或679)的Beta分子筛(Beta-30、Beta-135和Beta-679)作为研究对象,先采用XRD、FT-IR和TG等对其进行了表征,然后在不同温度和相对湿度(HR)下分别进行了Beta-30、Beta-135和Beta-679的水蒸气吸附容量和相应动力学分析。结果表明,当温度为25℃或35℃、H_R小于80%时,Beta-679的吸附容量最低。当温度为15℃、HR为5%~10%时,Beta-679的平衡速率最快。当温度为15℃、H_R为50%~70%时,Beta-30、Beta-135和Beta-679的平衡速率表现出较大区别(Beta-135的平衡速率远小于Beta-30和Beta-679的平衡速率)。

异丁烷正构化Pt/Beta催化剂中Pt的作用研究

当前减油增化的大趋势下,正丁烷相比异丁烷在化工利用方面综合效益更高,近些年异丁烷正构化成为了学术界和工业界的关注热点。通过控制Pt负载量和负载位置研究了Pt负载沸石催化剂在异丁烷正构化反应中Pt的作用。结果表明:由于丁烷的异-正转化是吸热反应,反应需要在较高的温度下进行;引入Pt组元可以提高异丁烷转化率,但过多的Pt会促进丁烷裂解生成甲烷和乙烷,降低正丁烷的选择性;质量分数0.10%Pt/HBeta催化剂可以得到良好的催化效果,在反应温度470℃、反应压力2.6 MPa,异丁烷质量空速12 h^(-1)的条件下,正丁烷收率大于39%,对甲烷、乙烷选择性极低。异丁烷正构化反应需要一个适中的金属中心与酸中心的接近度,Pt和酸中心间距离过远会导致裂化副产物增多。

Production of linear alkylbenzene over Ce containing Beta zeolites

Ce-encapsulated Beta zeolite was synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal method with citric acid complexing Ce in the absence of Na species.Additional citric acid can effectively prevent the deposition of Ce species during the hydrothermal synthesis of zeolites,leading to uniform distribution of Ce cluster in the framework of Beta zeolites.Moreover,the sodium-free synthesis system resulted that the Brønsted acid sites were mainly located on the straight channels and external surface of Beta zeolites,improving the utilization of Brønsted acid sites.In addition,Ce encapsulated Beta zeolites showed enhanced activity and robust stability in the alkylation of benzene with 1-dodecene based on the synergistic effect between Ce species and Brønsted acid sites,which pave the way for its practical application in the production of alkylbenzene.
