Chemical functionalities of high and low sulfur Australian coals : a case study using micro attenuated total reflectance–fourier transform infrared (ATR–FTIR) spectrometry

The macerals in bituminous coals with varying organic sulfur content from the Early Permian Greta Coal Measures at three locations (Southland Colliery, Drayton Colliery and the Cranky Corner Basin), in and around the Sydney Basin (Australia), have been studied using light-element electron microprobe (EMP) analysis and micro-ATR–FTIR. Electron microprobe analysis of individual macerals reveals that the vitrinite in both the Cranky Corner Basin and Drayton Colliery (Puxtrees seam) samples have similar carbon contents (ca. 78% C in telocollinite), suggesting that they are of equivalent rank. However, the Cranky Corner coals have anomalously low vitrinite reflectance (down to 0.45%) vs. the Drayton materials (ca. 0.7%). They also have very high organic S content (3–6.5%) and lower O content (ca. 10%) than the equivalent macerals in the Drayton sample (0.7% S and 15.6% O). A study was carried out to investigate the impacts of the high organic S on the functional groups of the macerals in these two otherwise iso-rank, stratigraphically-equivalent seams. An iso-rank low-S coal from the overlying Wittingham Coal Measures near Muswellbrook and coals of slightly higher rank from the Greta Coal Measures at Southland Colliery near Cessnock were also evaluated using the same techniques to extend the data set. Although the telocollinite in the Drayton and Cranky Corner coals have very similar carbon content (ca.78% C), the ATR–FTIR spectra of the vitrinite and inertinite macerals in these respectively low S and high S coals show some distinct differences in IR absorbance from various aliphatic and aromatic functional groups. The differences in absorbance of the aliphatic stretching bands (2800–3000 cm−1) and the aromatic carbon (CC) peak at 1606 cm−1 are very obvious. Compared to that of the Drayton sample (0.7% S and 15% O), the telocollinite of the Cranky Corner coal (6% S and 10% O) clearly shows: (i) less absorbance from OH groups, represented by a broad region around 3553 cm−1, (ii) much stronger aliphatic C–H absorbance (stretching modes around 3000–2800 cm−1 and bending modes around 1442 cm−1) and (iii) less absorbance from aromatic carbon functional groups (peaking at 1606 cm−1). Evaluation of the iso-rank Drayton and Cranky Corner coals shows that: (i) the aliphatic C–H absorbances decrease with increasing oxygen content but increase with increasing organic S content and (ii) the aromatic H to aliphatic H ratio (Har/Hali) for the telocollinite increases with (organic) O%, but decreases progressively with increasing organic S. The high organic S content in the maceral appears to be accompanied by a greater proportion of aliphatic functional groups, possibly as a result of some of the O within maceral ring structures in the high S coal samples being replaced.

Contribution of texture to the strengthening and fracture in hot-rolled magnesium-12.7 at % cadmium alloy

The grain size dependencies of the yield and fracture stresses in hot rolled Mg-12.7 at % Cd alloy have been measured in the temperature range 77 to 420 K and are found to be in accordance with HalI-Petch type of equations. In hot rolled Mg-12.7 Cd alloy, the HalI-Petch intercept a w is higher than that in hot rolled magnesium, while the slope ky is comparable. The fracture is intercrystalline at 77 K, mixed mode at 300 K and ductile at 420 K. The above flow and fracture behaviours are interpreted in terms of the complimentary effects of texture hardening and solid solution strengthening.

Les effets de l’Angiopoietin-like 2 sur la voie cytoprotectrice antioxydante Nrf2

L’angiopoietin-like 2 (angptl2) est une glycoprotéine de 64 kDa pro-inflammatoire et pro-athérogénique associée à divers maladies inflammatoires chroniques. Il est probable que l’angptl2 possède également un effet pro-oxydant, puisqu’elle stimule la production aigüe de dérivés réactifs oxygénés (DRO). Le facteur de transcription « nuclear factor (erythroidderived 2)-like 2 » (Nrf2) fait partie d’un mécanisme antioxydant majeur permettant de maintenir l’équilibre redox via l’induction de plusieurs gènes de l’élément de réponse antioxydante (ERA). En présence de DRO, la protéine Keap-1 se dissocie de Nrf2 et cesse de promouvoir sa dégradation protéasomale. Cette dissociation est stimulée par la protéine DJ-1 qui favorise la translocation nucléaire de Nrf2. La p38MAPK peut phosphoryler Nrf2 et promouvoir son interaction avec Keap-1. Nous avons posé l’hypothèse selon laquelle l’angptl2 causait un stress oxydant chronique, d’abord en stimulant en aigu la production de DRO, puis en inhibant la voie antioxydante Nrf2. Nous avons étudié, par immunobuvardage de type Western sur des cellules endothéliales en culture (HUVEC), les effets de l’angptl2 recombinante (100 nM) sur les niveaux protéiques nucléaires de Nrf2, les niveaux de Keap-1 dans le cytosol et de DJ-1 dans le noyau, en absence et en présence de l’antioxydant NAC (10 μM). Nous avons également étudié l’activation de la p38MAPK. Les niveaux nucléaires de Nrf2 n’ont pas été affectés par la stimulation aigüe (10 min) à l’angptl2 recombinante, mais ont été diminués par la stimulation chronique (24 h). L’ajout d’un agent antioxydant n’a pas altéré l’effet chronique, indiquant que les DRO ne sont pas directement impliqués. Les niveaux protéiques cytosoliques de Keap-1, protéine inhibitrice de Nrf2, et les niveaux nucléaires de DJ-1, protéine stabilisatrice de Nrf2, n’ont pas été affectés par l’angptl2 de manière significative. La phosphorylation de la p38MAPK n’a pas été non plus affectée par la stimulation aigüe ou chronique à l’angptl2. Ces données suggèrent que l’angptl2 n’a pas d’effet aigu, mais a un effet chronique inhibiteur sur la voie Nrf2, qui n’est pas associé à un effet sur Keap-1, DJ-1 ou p38MAPK.

Consensus Statement on Standard of Care for Congenital Myopathies

Recent progress in scientific research has facilitated accurate genetic and neuropathological diagnosis of congenital myopathies. However, given their relatively low incidence, congenital myopathies remain unfamiliar to the majority of care providers, and the levels of patient care are extremely variable. This consensus statement aims to provide care guidelines for congenital myopathies. The International Standard of Care Committee for Congenital Myopathies worked through frequent e-mail correspondences, periodic conference calls, 2 rounds of online surveys, and a 3-day workshop to achieve a consensus for diagnostic and clinical care recommendations. The committee includes 59 members from 10 medical disciplines. They are organized into 5 working groups: genetics/diagnosis, neurology, pulmonology, gastroenterology/nutrition/speech/oral care, and orthopedics/rehabilitation. In each care area the authors summarize the committee's recommendations for symptom assessments and therapeutic interventions. It is the committee's goal that through these recommendations, patients with congenital myopathies will receive optimal care and improve their disease outcome.
