扬子地块周边C、P硅岩建造中硒的富集机理对比研究-以渔塘坝、紫阳富硒区为例

在自然界中存在一套由硅质岩、泥质岩／页岩或板岩、碳酸盐岩和粉砂岩组成的沉积建造，并以富含有机质和菌藻微生物等为特征，沉积厚度较大，岩石类型以硅岩为主，称之为“硅岩建造”。硅岩建造中的硅质岩不仅是许多重要矿种（如金、硒、铀、钒、磷、锰、铂族元素、重晶石和黄铁矿等）的赋存层和含矿岩系的重要岩类，而且由于它形成于特定的地球化学条件下，能够反映出某些沉积相带特殊的地质背景，另外，硅质岩本身就是一种生物岩，对探讨生物成岩、成矿作用有重要意义。所以对硅岩建造及其内硅质岩研究具有十分重要的理论意义和实用价值。因此，本论文选择扬子地块周边寒武系（南秦岭紫阳硒富集区）、二叠系（湖北恩施双河渔塘坝硒矿床）富硒硅岩建造为研究对象。通过岩石地球化学、同位素地球化学、矿物学以及流体包裹体等方法从含硒规律、岩石成因、沉积环境、成矿流体性质等方面，分别对对两个不同时代或不同层位的富硒硅岩建造开展了系统的地球化学对比研究；并从矿物学、包裹体成分及物理化学条件等方面对渔塘坝硒矿床的成因作了探讨。通过研究，取得了以下主要认识：1渔塘坝硒矿区和紫阳硒富集区富硒硅岩建造岩石以硅质岩为主，硅质岩中5102含量范围分别为64.2％-95.84％和63.62％-95.24％。同时包括部分碳质硅质岩丫碳质页岩 和碳、硅板岩及含腐泥层的石煤；渔塘坝硒矿床硅质岩中Se含量大于80ug/g的样品均采自下二叠统茅口组的硅质岩段内，紫阳下寒武统硒富集体中硅质岩中硒的含量最高（可达278ppm）。2微量元素研究表明，两地区富硒硅质岩中均含有较高的Cu，Ni、V、As、Sb、Cr，且U／Th＞1。在U-Th、Zr-Cr和P2O5-Y相关图以及Fe-Mn-（Cu+Co+Ni）三角图上，两研究区内硅质岩样品点均落于热水沉积区。渔塘坝硒矿区硅质岩的REE总量较低，平均为38.9×10-6，紫阳硒富集区硅质岩REE总量除个别较高（达110×10-6以上）外，总体也较低（12.0-37.6）×l0-6；另外，从稀土元素配分模式看，两地区硅质岩均有较明显的Ce负异常，且Eu从无明显Eu异常到出现正Eu异常。都反映出热水沉积硅质岩的特征。从si和O同位素组成来看，两个地区硅质岩的δ3051和δ18O值也总体位于热水成因硅质岩区域内。根据隧石一水的氧同位素分馏方程计算得知，两研究区硅质岩的形成温度分别为46℃-72℃和78.6℃-126.20℃。地球化学特征表明，两地区富硒硅质岩均来自热水沉积作用。另外，渔塘坝硒矿区硅质岩中Cr含量较高，且存在腕足类生物化石；紫阳硒富集区硅质岩中Ba及有机质含量较高，且存在叶琳生物标志化合物。结合两地区碳同位素组成特征（渔塘坝地区δ13c为正值，可能和上扬子区早、晚二叠世之间多期次喷发的火山活动，造成地球史上二叠纪生物大灭绝有关；紫阳地区δ13C为负值，说明碳同位素来源于沉积有机物质），暗示两地区硅质岩的成因可能与火山沉积作用有关，且在成岩过程中有部分生物的参与。3渔塘坝赋矿硅质岩硫同位素组成具有较高的负值，表明矿床形成于缺氧的海盆内：紫阳硒富集区形成黄铁矿的硫主要来自海水硫酸盐。4系统研究了渔塘坝硒矿区硒的矿物学，显示硒以自然硒、独立矿物、类质同像及有机吸附四种形式赋存于矿床中。废弃石煤堆中的自然硒矿物，是自然因素和人为活动共同干预的结果，并非石煤的缓慢自燃的结果。5对研究区成矿流体中包裹体均一温度、盐度和密度进行了系统研究，结果显示：两地区的流体包裹体以原生包裹体为主，数量较多且形态复杂；研究区（渔塘坝硒矿和紫阳硒富集区）成矿流体处于中一低温（ 190-250）℃和（120-155）℃条件。渔塘坝硒矿区石英和方解石包裹体内的流体盐度分别为（5.9-10.l）B％和（3.9-4.5）WB％，紫阳硒富集区流体盐度为（1.2-2.8）WB％，后者流体盐度明显低于前者。流体密度经计算分别为0.79-0.79／cm3和0.69-0.969／cm3。重点对渔塘坝硒矿区的石英和方解石包裹体进行了拉曼光谱成分测试，结果显示：包裹体成分以H2O和N2为主，含少量 CH4、C2H4、C2H6、C3H5、C4H6、C4H4和C6H6等成分，说明成矿溶液介质主要为具有还原性质的水溶液，其成矿条件具还原性的特点。6渔塘坝硒矿区成矿物理化学条件的研究表明，即富硒成矿流体为中低温（190-250）℃、压力平均为60Mpa。成矿早期02、eZ相对较低，乃较高，且fS2/fSe2＞l，有利于硫化物沉淀在成矿主阶段，随着硫化物的沉淀，fS2和fSe2相应增大，且fO2较高。高的fO2阻止了硒进入硫化物，而有利于硒化物的形成。 7系统研究了富硒硅岩建造的沉积环境和构造环境特征，认为渔塘坝硒矿床中富硒硅质岩主要形成于浅海滞留的盆地沉积环境，紫阳下寒武统硅质岩沉积环境属于深水滞留沉积环境；渔塘坝硒矿床主要形成于拉张的断陷盆地中，紫阳硒富集体则形成于拉张的裂谷环境。

Ammonia synthesis over Ru/C catalysts with different carbon supports promoted by barium and potassium compounds

Ammonia synthesis over ruthenium catalysts supported on different carbon materials using Ba or K compounds as promoters has been investigated. Ba(NO3)(2), KOH, and KNO3 are used as the promoter or promoter precursor, and activated carbon (AC), activated carbon fiber (ACF). and carbon molecular sieve (CMS) are used as the support. The activity measurement for ammonia synthesis was carried out in a flow micro-reactor under mild conditions: 350-450 degreesC and 3.0 MPa. Results show that KOH promoter was more effective than KNO3. and that Ba(NO3)(2) was the most effective promoter among the three. The roles of promoters can be divided into the electronic modification of ruthenium, the neutralization of surface functional groups on the carbon support and the ruthenium precursor. The catalyst with AC as the support gave the highest ammonia concentration in the effluent among the supports used, while the catalyst with ACF as the support showed the highest turnover-frequency (TOF) value. It seems that the larger particles of Ru on the carbon supports are more active for ammonia synthesis in terms of TOF value. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Altered of apoptotic markers of both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways induced by hepatitis C virus infection in peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Background: Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has emerged as a leading cause of cirrhosis in the U. S. and across the world. To understand the role of apoptotic pathways in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, we studied the mRNA and protein expression patterns of apoptosis-related genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from patients with HCV infection.Methods: the present study included 50 subjects which plasma samples were positive for HCV, but negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV). These cases were divided into four groups according to METAVIR, a score-based analysis which helps to interpret a liver biopsy according to the degree of inflammation and fibrosis. mRNA expression of the studied genes were analyzed by reverse transcription of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and protein levels, analyzed by ELISA, was also conducted. HCV genotyping was also determined.Results: HCV infection increased mRNA expression and protein synthesis of caspase 8 in group 1 by 3 fold and 4 fold, respectively (p < 0.05). in group 4 HCV infection increased mRNA expression and protein synthesis of caspase 9 by 2 fold and 1,5 fold, respectively (p < 0.05). Also, caspase 3 mRNA expression and protein synthesis had level augumented by HCV infection in group 1 by 4 fold and 5 fold, respectively, and in group 4 by 6 fold and 7 fold, respectively (p < 0.05).Conclusions: HCV induces alteration at both genomic and protein levels of apoptosis markers involved with extrinsic and intrinsic pathways.

Structural manifestation of the delocalization error of density functional approximations: C(4N+2) rings and C(20) bowl, cage, and ring isomers.

The ground state structure of C(4N+2) rings is believed to exhibit a geometric transition from angle alternation (N < or = 2) to bond alternation (N > 2). All previous density functional theory (DFT) studies on these molecules have failed to reproduce this behavior by predicting either that the transition occurs at too large a ring size, or that the transition leads to a higher symmetry cumulene. Employing the recently proposed perspective of delocalization error within DFT we rationalize this failure of common density functional approximations (DFAs) and present calculations with the rCAM-B3LYP exchange-correlation functional that show an angle-to-bond-alternation transition between C(10) and C(14). The behavior exemplified here manifests itself more generally as the well known tendency of DFAs to bias toward delocalized electron distributions as favored by Huckel aromaticity, of which the C(4N+2) rings provide a quintessential example. Additional examples are the relative energies of the C(20) bowl, cage, and ring isomers; we show that the results from functionals with minimal delocalization error are in good agreement with CCSD(T) results, in contrast to other commonly used DFAs. An unbiased DFT treatment of electron delocalization is a key for reliable prediction of relative stability and hence the structures of complex molecules where many structure stabilization mechanisms exist.

Display of cell surface sites for fibronectin assembly is modulated by cell adherence to (1)F3 and C-terminal modules of fibronectin.

BACKGROUND: Fibronectin-null cells assemble soluble fibronectin shortly after adherence to a substrate coated with intact fibronectin but not when adherent to the cell-binding domain of fibronectin (modules (7)F3-(10)F3). Interactions of adherent cells with regions of adsorbed fibronectin other than modules (7)F3-(10)F3, therefore, are required for early display of the cell surface sites that initiate and direct fibronectin assembly. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To identify these regions, coatings of proteolytically derived or recombinant pieces of fibronectin containing modules in addition to (7)F3-(10)F3 were tested for effects on fibronectin assembly by adherent fibronectin-null fibroblasts. Pieces as large as one comprising modules (2)F3-(14)F3, which include the heparin-binding and cell adhesion domains, were not effective in supporting fibronectin assembly. Addition of module (1)F3 or the C-terminal modules to modules (2)F3-(14)F3 resulted in some activity, and addition of both (1)F3 and the C-terminal modules resulted in a construct, (1)F3-C, that best mimicked the activity of a coating of intact fibronectin. Constructs (1)F3-C V0, (1)F3-C V64, and (1)F3-C Delta(V(15)F3(10)F1) were all able to support fibronectin assembly, suggesting that (1)F3 through (11)F1 and/or (12)F1 were important for activity. Coatings in which the active parts of (1)F3-C were present in different proteins were much less active than intact (1)F3-C. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that (1)F3 acts together with C-terminal modules to induce display of fibronectin assembly sites on adherent cells.

Association of a peripheral blood metabolic profile with coronary artery disease and risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.

BACKGROUND: Molecular tools may provide insight into cardiovascular risk. We assessed whether metabolites discriminate coronary artery disease (CAD) and predict risk of cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed mass-spectrometry-based profiling of 69 metabolites in subjects from the CATHGEN biorepository. To evaluate discriminative capabilities of metabolites for CAD, 2 groups were profiled: 174 CAD cases and 174 sex/race-matched controls ("initial"), and 140 CAD cases and 140 controls ("replication"). To evaluate the capability of metabolites to predict cardiovascular events, cases were combined ("event" group); of these, 74 experienced death/myocardial infarction during follow-up. A third independent group was profiled ("event-replication" group; n=63 cases with cardiovascular events, 66 controls). Analysis included principal-components analysis, linear regression, and Cox proportional hazards. Two principal components analysis-derived factors were associated with CAD: 1 comprising branched-chain amino acid metabolites (factor 4, initial P=0.002, replication P=0.01), and 1 comprising urea cycle metabolites (factor 9, initial P=0.0004, replication P=0.01). In multivariable regression, these factors were independently associated with CAD in initial (factor 4, odds ratio [OR], 1.36; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.74; P=0.02; factor 9, OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.87; P=0.003) and replication (factor 4, OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.91; P=0.02; factor 9, OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.48 to 0.91; P=0.01) groups. A factor composed of dicarboxylacylcarnitines predicted death/myocardial infarction (event group hazard ratio 2.17; 95% CI, 1.23 to 3.84; P=0.007) and was associated with cardiovascular events in the event-replication group (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.08 to 2.14; P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Metabolite profiles are associated with CAD and subsequent cardiovascular events.
