Striking Doping Effects on Thermal Methane Activation Mediated by the Heteronuclear Metal Oxides [XAlO4].+ (X=V, Nb, and Ta)

Published: November 2016

AbstractThe thermal reactivity of the heteronuclear metal‐oxide cluster cations [XAlO4].+ (X=V, Nb, and Ta) towards methane has been studied by using mass spectrometry in conjunction with quantum mechanical calculations. Experimentally, a hydrogen‐atom transfer (HAT) from methane is mediated by all the three oxide clusters at ambient conditions. However, [VAlO4].+ is unique in that this cluster directly transforms methane into formaldehyde. The absence of this reaction for the Nb and Ta analogues demonstrates a striking doping effect on the chemoselectivity in the conversion of methane. Mechanistic aspects of the two reactions have been elucidated by quantum‐chemical calculations. The HAT reactivity can be attributed to the significant spin density localized at the terminal oxygen atom (Ot.−) of the cluster ions, while the ionic/covalent character of the Lewis acid–base unit [X−Ob] plays a crucial role for the generation of formaldehyde. The mechanistic insight derived from this combined experimental/computational investigation may provide guidance for a more rational design of catalysts.

ABSTRACTPeriodontitis is common among dialysis patients. The current cross‐sectional study aimed to explore associations between periodontitis and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) among hemodialysis patients. Data from 188 dentate patients undergoing hemodialysis between May and July 2008 at a medical center in Kitakyushu city, Japan, were analyzed while applying modified Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/American Academy of Periodontology periodontitis case definitions to categorize the participants into the following three groups: severe, moderate, and no/mild periodontitis, respectively. HRQoL was assessed by the Medical Outcomes Study 36‐Item Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36) where a higher score indicates better health status. Associations between periodontitis groups and the eight health domains of SF‐36 were evaluated using general linear models that were adjusted for age, sex, underlying cause of dialysis, duration of dialysis, comorbidities, serum biomarkers, body mass index, smoking status, and alcohol use. Among the 188 participants, 18 (9.6%) had severe periodontitis, 100 (53.2%) had moderate periodontitis, and the remaining 70 (37.2%) had no/mild periodontitis. Compared with the participants with no/mild periodontitis, those with severe periodontitis had worse scores in the following five of eight SF‐36 health scales: physical functioning, role physical, vitality, social functioning, and mental health (P < 0.05). The findings suggest an independent relationship between severe periodontitis and decreased HRQoL among dialysis patients.
Transformation of Cellulose into Nonionic Surfactants Using a One‐Pot Catalytic Process
Authors: Climent María J. , Corma Avelino , Iborra Sara , Martínez‐Silvestre Sergio 
Published: November 2016

AbstractAlkyl glucosides surfactants are synthesized by a cascade process that involves the methanolysis of cellulose into methyl glucosides followed by the transacetalization with n‐octanol. The first step was performed using methanol as solvent and acid catalysts (such as, inorganic acids, heteropolyacids, ionexchange resins, or modified carbon materials). Subsequently, long‐chain alkyl glucosides are obtained in the second step by transacetalization, which involves the reaction of methyl glucosides with a fatty alcohol using the same acid catalyst. The overall process was performed under mild conditions. Amorphous sulfonated carbon catalyst achieved the best results for the complete conversion of cellulose in methanol at 200 °C with methyl α,β‐glucopyranosides yields higher than 80 %. Moreover, this material containing −SO3H groups is ideal to perform the second step to obtain octyl and decyl glucosides in yields higher than 73 % at 120 °C. In addition, the sulfonated carbon catalyst (C−SO3H) can be reused with only a slightly decrease of its activity after four consecutive cycles.
Direct Transformation of HMF into 2,5‐Diformylfuran and 2,5‐Dihydroxymethylfuran without an External Oxidant or Reductant

Published: November 2016

AbstractThe selective transformation of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to valuable 2,5‐diformylfuran (DFF) and 2,5‐dihydroxymethylfuran (DHMF) is highly desirable but remains a great challenge owing to its tendency to over‐oxidation and over‐reduction. In this work, HMF is directly converted into DFF and DHMF without external oxidant or reductant through a Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley–Oppenauer (MPVO) reaction. In such a MPVO process, HMF is used as both oxidant and reductant and DFF and DHMF are simultaneously produced with a 1:1 molar ratio in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. Under high initial HMF concentration, a HMF conversion of up to 44.7 % can be reached within 1 h. Moreover, this atom‐efficient transformation route for HMF also provides a promising protocol for the crude separation of DHMF products from DFF products, owing to the lower solubility of DHMF compared to DFF in acetonitrile.
A drop in the circulating concentrations of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products is associated with seroconversion to autoantibody positivity but not with subsequent progression to clinical disease in children en route to type 1 diabetes

AbstractBackgroundAdvanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their interaction with the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) have been studied for their role in the pathogenesis and complications of type 1 diabetes. Decreased concentrations of soluble RAGE (sRAGE) have been reported in acute autoimmune inflammation. We set out to analyze the changes in sRAGE concentration during preclinical diabetes in children seroconverting to islet autoantibody positivity.MethodsWe measured serum concentrations of sRAGE in 168 children who progressed to clinical disease and 43 children who turned positive for at least 2 diabetes‐associated autoantibodies but remained nondiabetic. We analyzed the sRAGE before seroconversion in the first autoantibody‐positive sample and annually thereafter until the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes or end of follow‐up.ResultsBoth groups had similar sRAGE before seroconversion, but subsequently, sRAGE concentrations were lower (P < .001) in the progressors. The progressors had significantly higher sRAGE concentrations before than after seroconversion (P < .001). The nonprogressors did not experience a similar decrease. The sRAGE concentrations remained stable after seroconversion in both groups.ConclusionsThese data indicate that sRAGE may be involved in the initiation of beta‐cell autoimmunity but not in the progression from beta‐cell autoimmunity to clinical disease.
Large wood clogging during floods in a gravel‐bed river: the Długopole bridge in the Czarny Dunajec River, Poland

Published: November 2016

AbstractDuring floods, large quantities of wood can be mobilized and transported downstream. At critical sections, such as bridges, the transported wood might be entrapped and a quick succession of backwater effects can occur as a result of the reduction of the cross‐sectional area. The aim of this work is to explore large wood‐related hazards during floods in the gravel‐bed river Czarny Dunajec (Polish Carpathians), where the river flows through the village of Długopole. This work is based on the numerical modelling of large wood transport together with flow dynamics in which inlet and boundary conditions were designed based on field observations. The exploratory approach developed in this study uses multiple scenarios (193) to analyse the factors controlling bridge clogging: wood size, wood supply, flow conditions, morphology and obstacles in the riverbed. Results highlighted the strong control of log length (stronger than that of log diameter) on potential blockage probability; however, according to our results the main factor controlling bridge clogging was the flood discharge. River morphology and wood supply play an important role as well. The river morphology may reduce bridge blockage, as it influences flow velocity and depth, and creates natural retention zones for wood. In addition, the impacts of bridge blockage were analysed in terms of afflux depth and length, and flooded area. Results showed that bridge blockage may result in a significant increase in water depth (up to 0.7 m) and flooded area (up to 33% more), therefore increasing flood risk in the village.
