人体动脉血气波浪式变化特点的实验证据—同时间动、静脉血波浪式变化幅度的不同*

目的: 人动脉血来源是右心系统并在肺脏进行气体交换的静脉血,右心系统的静脉血是否存在波浪式信号目前尚没有证据支持,本研究旨在对比同时间动、静脉血中信号的连续变化特点。方法: 选择心功能正常,需要连续监测动脉血流动力学变化的患者6 例,4男2女,年龄（59.00±16.64） 岁,体质量（71.67±10.37）kg,左心射血分数（LVEF）（61.33±2.16)%。患者签署知情同意书后,选择心功能正常需要监测动、静脉血流动力学变化的患者6 例,连续同时桡动脉、颈内静脉逐搏取血,测定PaO₂。选取2个典型呼吸周期,用于分析同时段动、静脉血气的波浪式变化。分别比较患者血氧分压最高和最低值,以验证同时段动、静脉血气是否都存在周期性波浪式信号变化。此外,将患者动脉、静脉血气周期性波浪式信号的变化幅度进行统计学t 检验分析,比较有无差异。结果: 共6例患者,抽取动、静脉血液充满肝素化细长塑化管需要15~16次心跳,即取血需要15~16次心跳,全部覆盖超过2个呼吸周期。所有患者动脉血气中PaO₂均呈现明显的波浪式变化（P<0.05）,幅度是（9.96±5.18）mmHg,是均值的（8.09±2.43）%。患者静脉血气中PaO₂波动幅度并不明显,为（1.63±0.41）mmHg,是均值的（3.91±1.22）%,与动脉血气组相比有明显统计学差异（P<0.05）。结论: 采用同时连续逐搏动、静脉取血血气分析法证实,患者自主呼吸时动脉血气有明显的周期性波浪式变化信号,而静脉血气几乎没有周期性波浪式变化信号（很弱）,说明动脉血气波浪式信号主要是由于肺通气过程中吸气和呼气期产生肺泡中氧分压规律性上升和下降,通过离开肺毛细血管与肺泡氧气压力平衡的动脉化血液,经过左心室搏血进入动脉血管系统所致。     

Metabolic flux analysis of CHO cells at growth and non-growth phases using isotopic tracers and mass spectrometry

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the main platform for production of biotherapeutics in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, relatively little is known about the metabolism of CHO cells in cell culture. In this work, metabolism of CHO cells was studied at the growth phase and early stationary phase using isotopic tracers and mass spectrometry. CHO cells were grown in fed-batch culture over a period of six days. On days 2 and 4, [1,2-¹³C] glucose was introduced and the labeling of intracellular metabolites was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) at 6, 12 and 24 h following the introduction of tracer. Intracellular metabolic fluxes were quantified from measured extracellular rates and ¹³C-labeling dynamics of intracellular metabolites using non-stationary ¹³C-metabolic flux analysis (¹³C-MFA). The flux results revealed significant rewiring of intracellular metabolic fluxes in the transition from growth to non-growth, including changes in energy metabolism, redox metabolism, oxidative pentose phosphate pathway and anaplerosis. At the exponential phase, CHO cell metabolism was characterized by a high flux of glycolysis from glucose to lactate, anaplerosis from pyruvate to oxaloacetate and from glutamate to α-ketoglutarate, and cataplerosis though malic enzyme. At the stationary phase, the flux map was characterized by a reduced flux of glycolysis, net lactate uptake, oxidative pentose phosphate pathway flux, and reduced rate of anaplerosis. The fluxes of pyruvate dehydrogenase and TCA cycle were similar at the exponential and stationary phase. The results presented here provide a solid foundation for future studies of CHO cell metabolism for applications such as cell line development and medium optimization for high-titer production of recombinant proteins.     

Pulmonary gas exchange kinetics during exercise: physiological inferences of model order and parameters

1. 1. The ventilatory and pulmonary gas exchange responses during moderate exercise can be appropriately modelled with first-order dynamics.

2. 2. A delay term, reflecting tissue-to-lung transit time, is needed for accurate characterization, however.

3. 3. The O₂ uptake time constant ( reflects the enzymatically controlled tissue O₂ utilization.

4. 4. is appreciably longer than , consequent to the tissue CO₂ capacitance.

5. 5. As typically longer than , transient errors in alveolar and arterial blood gas tensions are predicted: small for P_CO2 but much larger for P_O2.

6. 6. At work rates above the lactate threshold, a slow and delayed component of V̇_O2 induces an additional V̇ component (“excess” V̇_O2), leading to more rapid fatigue.

7. 7. The ventilatory compensation for the metabolic acidemia at these work rates is slow, with compensation being poor for rapid-incremental exercise.

8. 8. A justifiable control model of the coupling of ventilation to metabolism must cohere with these demonstrable physiological characteristics.

我国钢渣碳汇的量化分析

在全球温室气体浓度升高的背景下,如何减少碳排放、增加碳吸收是当前应对气候变化研究的热点.本研究基于我国1963—2016年粗钢产量,采用温室气体清单指南编制方法,建立了钢渣碳汇核算方法,核算了我国1963—2016年钢渣碳汇量,并进行了不确定性分析.结果表明: 1963—2016年间,我国钢渣的年碳汇量总体呈上升趋势,从3.75×10³ t C增加至1359.32×10³ t C.1963—2016年间我国钢渣累积碳汇量为15×10⁶ t C,钢渣碳汇的总不确定性约为±30.4%.钢渣年碳汇量由当年产钢渣碳汇量和历年产钢渣碳汇量两部分组成.由于钢渣结构致密,年碳化速率较小,导致1963—2016年间当年产钢渣碳汇量较小,占钢渣碳汇总量的37%;历年产钢渣碳汇量较大,占钢渣碳汇总量的63%.虽然钢渣年碳汇量不大,但长期累积碳汇量非常可观,其碳汇作用不容忽视.今后研究应细化不同环境条件下钢渣碳化速率,降低钢渣碳汇核算的不确定性;推动以钢渣为原材料的碳捕集与封存技术发展,增加有效碳汇,为我国应对气候变化国际谈判提供科技支撑.     

Gas adsorption and diffusion in a highly CO2 selective metal–organic framework: molecular simulations

Grand canonical Monte Carlo and equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations were used to assess the performance of an rht-type metal–organic framework (MOF), Cu-TDPAT, in adsorption-based and membrane-based separation of CH₄/H₂, CO₂/CH₄ and CO₂/H₂ mixtures. Adsorption isotherms and self-diffusivities of pure gases and binary gas mixtures in Cu-TDPAT were computed using detailed molecular simulations. Several properties of Cu-TDPAT such as adsorption selectivity, working capacity, diffusion selectivity, gas permeability and permeation selectivity were computed and compared with well-known zeolites and MOFs. Results showed that Cu-TDPAT is a very promising adsorbent and membrane material especially for separation of CO₂ and it can outperform traditional zeolites and MOFs such as DDR, MFI, CuBTC, IRMOF-1 in adsorption-based CO₂/CH₄ and CO₂/H₂ separations.

Biosynthesis of linoleic acid in Tyrophagus mites (Acarina: Acaridae)

We report here that Tyrophagus similis and Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Astigmata: Acaridae) have the ability to biosynthesize linoleic acid [(9Z, 12Z)-9, 12-octadecadienoic acid] via a Δ12-desaturation step, although animals in general and vertebrates in particular appear to lack this ability. When the mites were fed on dried yeast enriched with d₃₁-hexadecanoic acid (16:0), d₂₇-octadecadienoic acid (18:2), produced from d₃₁-hexadecanoic acid through elongation and desaturation reactions, was identified as a major fatty acid component of phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) in the mites. The double bond position of d₂₇-octadecadienoic acid (18:2) of PCs and PEs was determined to be 9 and 12, respectively by dimethyldisulfide (DMDS) derivatization. Furthermore, the GC/MS retention time of methyl 9, 12-octadecadienoate obtained from mite extracts agreed well with those of authentic linoleic acid methyl ester. It is still unclear whether the mites themselves or symbiotic microorganisms are responsible for inserting a double bond into the Δ12 position of octadecanoic acid. However, we present here the unique metabolism of fatty acids in the mites.

摘要 目的：观察经鼻加温加湿高流量吸氧（HFNC）对重症肺炎伴呼吸衰竭患儿血气指标、肺功能及细胞因子水平的影响。方法：选取南京医科大学附属儿童医院2020年3月~2022年3月期间收治的86例重症肺炎伴呼吸衰竭患儿,按照随机数字表法分为经鼻持续气道正压通气（nCPAP）组和HFNC组,各为43例。对比两组临床相关指标、血气指标、肺功能及细胞因子水平,同时观察两组镇静剂使用、预后及并发症发生情况。结果：HFNC组的机械通气时间、咳嗽缓解时间、肺部啰音消失时间、入住儿童重症监护室（PICU）时间均短于nCPAP组（P<0.05）。两组患儿治疗后心率（HR）升高,呼吸频率（RR）下降,且HFNC组的变化大于nCPAP组（P<0.05）。两组患儿治疗后pH值、血氧分压（PO₂）、血氧饱和度（SpO₂）、氧合指数（OI）均升高,且HFNC组高于nCPAP组（P<0.05）。两组患儿治疗后用力肺活量（FVC）、1s用力呼气容积（FEV1）、用力呼气时最高呼气流速（PEF）升高,且HFNC组高于nCPAP组（P<0.05）。两组患儿治疗后降钙素原（PCT）、白细胞介素（IL-6）和肿瘤坏死因子（TNF-α）下降,且HFNC组低于nCPAP组（P<0.05）。HFNC组镇静剂使用、再住院例数均少于nCPAP组（P<0.05）。两组死亡例数、并发症发生率组间对比未见统计学差异（P>0.05）。结论：HFNC可有效缓解重症肺炎伴呼吸衰竭患儿的临床症状,改善血气指标、肺功能及细胞因子水平。     

Structural characterization of the lipid A region of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida lipopolysaccharide

The lipid A components of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida from strains A449, 80204-1 and an in vivo rough isolate were isolated by mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide. Structural studies carried out by a combination of fatty acid, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses confirmed that the structure of lipid A was conserved among different isolates of A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida. All analyzed strains contained three major lipid A molecules differing in acylation patterns corresponding to tetra-, penta- and hexaacylated lipid A species and comprising 4'-monophosphorylated beta-2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranose-(1-->6)-2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranose disaccharide, where the reducing end 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose was present primarily in the alpha-pyranose form. Electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry fragment pattern analysis, including investigation of the inner-ring fragmentation, allowed the localization of fatty acyl residues on the disaccharide backbone of lipid A. The tetraacylated lipid A structure containing 3-(dodecanoyloxy)tetradecanoic acid at N-2',3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid at N-2 and 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid at O-3, respectively, was found. The pentaacyl lipid A molecule had a similar fatty acid distribution pattern and, additionally, carried 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid at O-3'. In the hexaacylated lipid A structure, 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid at O-3' was esterified with a secondary 9-hexadecenoic acid. Interestingly, lipid A of the in vivo rough isolate contained predominantly tetra- and pentaacylated lipid A species suggesting that the presence of the hexaacyl lipid A was associated with the smooth-form lipopolysaccharide.
