Abstract

Reactions between cyano radical and aromatic hydrocarbons are believed to be important pathways for the formation of aromatic nitriles in the interstellar medium (ISM) including those identified in the Taurus molecular cloud (TMC-1). Aromatic nitriles might participate in the formation of polycyclic aromatic nitrogen containing hydrocarbons (PANHs) in Titan's atmosphere. Here, ab initio kinetics simulations reveal a high efficiency of $\rm \sim10^{-10}~cm^{3}~s^{-1}$ and the competition of the different products of 30-1800 K and $10^{-7}$-100 atm of the CN + toluene reaction. In the star-forming region of TMC-1 environment, the product yields of benzonitrile and tolunitriles for CN reacting with toluene may be approximately 17$\%$ and 83$\%$, respectively. The detection of main products, tolunitriles, can serve as proxies for the undetected toluene in the ISM due to their much larger dipole moments. The competition between bimolecular and unimolecular products is extremely intense under the warmer and denser PANH forming region of Titan's stratosphere. The computational results show that the fractions of tolunitriles, adducts, and benzonitrile are 19$\%$-68$\%$, 15$\%$-64$\%$ and 17$\%$, respectively, at 150-200 K and 0.0001-0.001 atm (Titan's stratosphere). Then, benzonitrile and tolunitriles may contribute to the formation of PANHs by consecutive $\rm C_{2}H$ additions. Kinetic information of aromatic nitriles for the CN + toluene reaction calculated here helps to explain the formation mechanism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or PANHs under different interstellar environments and constrains corresponding astrochemical models.

Abstract

Abstract Hyperglycemia is prevalent and closely associated with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). This study aimed to investigate the effects of hyperglycemia on the outcomes of PTB treatment. This study comprised 791 patients with PTB in total. Patients with fasting plasma glucose levels of ≥ 6.1 mmol/L were diagnosed with hyperglycemia. Anthropometric and baseline demographic data were also collected. The treatment response was assessed based on clinical symptoms (sputum production, cough, chest pain, fever, hemoptysis, night sweats, loss of appetite, and fatigue), sputum smear, chest computed tomography (CT), and adverse gastrointestinal responses (vomiting, nausea, abdominal distension, diarrhea, and constipation). A generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to evaluate these relationships. Hyperglycemia affected 266 (33.6%) of the 791 patients with PTB. In GEE analyses, patients with hyperglycemia exhibited a greater incidence of elevated tuberculosis (TB) scores (odds ratio (OR) 1.569; 95% CI 1.040–2.369), cough (OR 1.332; 95% CI 1.050–1.690), and night sweats (OR 1.694; 95% CI 1.288–2.335). Hyperglycemia was linked with a higher risk of positive sputum smears (OR 1.941; 95% CI 1.382–2.727). During therapy, hyperglycemia was also associated with an increased incidence of vomiting (OR 2.738; 95% CI 1.041–7.198), abdominal distension (OR 2.230; 95% CI 1.193–4.171), and constipation (OR 2.372; 95% CI 1.442–3.902). However, the CT results indicated that hyperglycemia did not affect pulmonary lesions in patients with TB. Patients with TB and hyperglycemia are at a higher risk of severe clinical manifestations, positive sputum smears, and adverse gastrointestinal effects and, therefore, the special situation of hyperglycemic patients should be considered in the prevention and treatment of TB.

Abstract

Hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a common neurological disorder characterized by ischemia and hypoxia in the perinatal period, which seriously affects the growth and development of newborns. To date, there is no specific drug for the treatment of HIE. Previous studies have shown that ferroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of HIE. Carthamin yellow (CY) is believed to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, no studies have reported the role of CY in ferroptosis in HIE in vivo until now. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of CY on HIE in vivo and to provide an experimental basis for the clinical treatment of HIE. The results demonstrated that CY increased the expression of NeuN in the neonatal rat hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) model. Further exploration revealed that CY increased the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 and ferritin heavy chain 1 while it decreased the expression of PTGS2 and ACSL2. Moreover, CY decreased malondialdehyde expression and increased superoxide dismutase and glutathione expression in vivo. The findings also indicated that CY downregulated the expression of Nrf2 and Keap-1. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that CY attenuated brain injury in an experimental HIBD model, potentially by alleviating hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis through inhibition of the Nrf2/Keap-1 signaling pathway. These findings provide a novel therapeutic strategy for the clinical treatment of HIE.

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the existence of full dimensional tori for $d$-dimensional nonlinear Schr$\ddot{\mbox{o}}$dinger equation with periodic boundary conditions \begin{equation*}\label{L1} \sqrt{-1}u_{t}+\Delta u+V*u\pm\epsilon |u|^2u=0,\hspace{12pt}x\in\mathbb{T}^d,\quad d\geq 1, \end{equation*} where $V*$ is the convolution potential. Here the radius of the invariant torus satisfies a slower decay, i.e. \begin{equation*}\label{031601} I_{\textbf n}\sim e^{-r\ln^{\sigma}\left\|\textbf n\right\|},\qquad \mbox{as}\ \left\|\textbf n\right\|\rightarrow\infty, \end{equation*}for any $\sigma>2$ and $r\geq 1$. This result confirms a conjecture by Bourgain [J. Funct. Anal. 229 (2005), no. 1, 62-94]., Comment: 54 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2103.14777
