A DFT and kinetic study: Is it possible to prepare epoxides without catalysts using the in-situ generated peroxy radicals or peroxides by one-step method? J Comput Chem 2023. [PMID: 37283494 DOI: 10.1002/jcc.27172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
DFT calculations and kinetic analysis have been employed to comprehensively explore the possibility to prepare epoxides by one-step method using the in-situ generated peroxy radicals or hydroperoxides as epoxidizing agents. Computational studies demonstrated that the selectivities for the reaction systems of O2 /R2/R1, O2 /CuH/R1, O2 /CuH/styrene, O2 /AcH/R1 were 68.2%, 69.6%, 100% and 93.3%, respectively. The in-situ generated peroxide radicals, such as HOO˙, CuOO˙ and AcOO˙, could react with R1 or styrene by attacking the CC double bond to form a CO bond and subsequently undergoing a cleavage of OO bond to yield epoxides. Peroxide radicals could abstract a hydrogen atom from methyl group on R1, forming unwanted by-products. It should be noted that the hydrogen atoms of HOO˙ is easy to be abstracted by CC double bond and simultaneously the oxygen atom is connected to the CH moiety to form an alkyl peroxy radical (Rad11), greatly limiting the selectivity. The comprehensive mechanistic studies provide a deep understanding on preparing epoxides by one-step method.

Invasive fungal infection is associated with antibiotic exposure in preterm infants: a multi-centre prospective case-control study. J Hosp Infect 2023; 134:43-49.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous antibiotic exposure is an important risk factor for invasive fungal infection (IFI). Antibiotic overexposure is common in lower-income countries; however, multi-centre studies concerning IFI in relation to antibiotic exposure are scarce. AIM This prospective, multi-centre matched case-control study explored the correlation of IFI and antibiotic exposure in very preterm infants or very-low-birthweight infants admitted to 23 tertiary hospitals in China between 2018 and 2021. METHODS Using a 1:2 matched design for gestational age, birth weight and early-onset sepsis (yes/no), the risk factors between infants diagnosed with IFI and infection-free controls were compared. The antibiotic use rate (AUR) was calculated using calendar days of antibiotic therapy in the 4 weeks preceding IFI onset divided by onset day of IFI. FINDINGS In total, 6368 infants were included in the study, of which 90 (1.4%) were diagnosed with IFI. Median AUR, length of antibiotic therapy (LOT) and days of antibiotic therapy (DOT) within the 4 weeks preceding IFI onset were 0.90, 18 days and 30 days, respectively. Multi-variate analysis showed that a 10% increase in AUR, each additional day of DOT and LOT, and each additional day of third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems were notably associated with IFI. CONCLUSION Prolonged antibiotic therapy is common before the onset of IFI, and is an important risk factor, especially the use of third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems. Antibiotic stewardship should be urgently developed and promoted for preterm infants in order to reduce IFI in lower-income countries such as China.

Effects of Oxygen: Experimental and VTST/DFT Studies on Cumene Autoxidation with Air under Atmospheric Pressure. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:34547-34553.

Abstract
The mechanism of how oxygen affects cumene autoxidation related to temperature is still bewildering. Kinetic analysis of cumene autoxidation with air at a pressure of 1.0 atm was investigated by experiments and variational transition state theory/DFT. Oxygen was the limiting factor for cumene autoxidation above 100 °C, although it had negligible impacts on cumene autoxidation at 70-100 °C. The kinetic analysis by VTST coupled with DFT calculations proved that {k 6,reverse[ROO•]}/{k 7,forward[RH]0 [ROO•]} > 103 (70-120 °C), suggesting that ROO• tended to decompose back to R• and O2 rapidly, whereas it was much slower for ROO• abstracting a hydrogen atom from RH to form ROOH. When the concentration of oxygen was higher than the critical value ([O2]critical), it could not significantly affect the equilibrium concentration of ROO•, which in turn could not affect the autoxidation rate significantly. Besides, the critical oxygen concentration ([O2]critical) was exponentially related to 1/T, which was consistent with Hattori's experimental results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. METHODS The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18-49, 50-69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. RESULTS NNVs were more favourable in surgical patients than the general population. The most favourable NNVs were in patients aged 70 years or more needing cancer surgery (351; best case 196, worst case 816) or non-cancer surgery (733; best case 407, worst case 1664). Both exceeded the NNV in the general population (1840; best case 1196, worst case 3066). NNVs for surgical patients remained favourable at a range of SARS-CoV-2 incidence rates in sensitivity analysis modelling. Globally, prioritizing preoperative vaccination of patients needing elective surgery ahead of the general population could prevent an additional 58 687 (best case 115 007, worst case 20 177) COVID-19-related deaths in 1 year. CONCLUSION As global roll out of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination proceeds, patients needing elective surgery should be prioritized ahead of the general population.

Abstract
Previous studies on glass-transition temperature (T g) prediction mainly focus on developing diverse methods with higher regression accuracy, but very little attention has been paid to the dataset. Generally, a large range of T g values of a specified polymer could be found in the literature but which one should be selected into a dataset merely depends on the implicit preference rather than a recognized and clear criterion. In this paper, limiting glass-transition temperature (T g(∞)), a constant value obtained at the infinite number-average molecular weight M n, was validated to be an adequate bridge index in the T g prediction models. Furthermore, a new dataset containing 198 polymers was established to predict T g(∞) using the improved group contribution method and it showed a good correlation (R 2 = 0.9925, adjusted R 2 = 0.9894). The method could also generate T g-M n curves by introducing the T g(∞) function and provide more information to polymer scientists and engineers for material selection, product design, and synthesis.

Abstract
The inhibition effects of gas inhibitors (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and heptafluoropropane) on aluminum dust explosion were investigated experimentally and numerically. The results showed that as the inhibition volume fraction increased, the flame propagation characteristics parameters and explosion severity parameters were inhibited by inert gases accordingly. The inhibition performance of carbon dioxide was superior to that of nitrogen, and the minimum inhibition volume fractions of nitrogen and carbon dioxide were determined. XRD results indicated that the crystal form of major condensed product of aluminum dust explosion using two kinds of inert gas as inhibitors was different due to the distinct inhibition effect. Moreover, the XPS analysis revealed that the nitrogen oxide of aluminum adsorbed on the surface of aluminum particles blocked gasification process of aluminum particles. To explore the inhibition mechanism microscopically, a kinetic model concerning gas phase combustion was established. The above discussion indicated that the inhibition effect was the combination of multiple factors. In addition, due to the strong reactions between aluminum particles and heptafluoropropane, it cannot be regarded as gas inhibitor in aluminum dust explosion.

Suppression mechanism of Al dust explosion by melamine polyphosphate and melamine cyanurate. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 386:121648.

Abstract
The suppression mechanism of melamine polyphosphate (MPP) and melamine cyanurate (MCA) for Al dust explosions is investigated experimentally and computationally. Results show that depending on the concentration of suppressants, the addition of MCA and MPP promotes or suppresses Al dust explosion. For high additive concentration, large agglomerated residues are generated, and condensed phase residues may contain Al particles, MCA or MPP. The chemical composition of condensed phase residues of Al/MCA mixture explosion is mainly Al2O3 and the high boiling products of MEL decomposition (mainly C‒ and N‒containing species). The explosion residues of Al/MPP mixture are composed of Al2O3, high boiling products of MEL decomposition and condensed phosphates. To understand the reasons for pressure enhancement and explosion suppression, a kinetic model considering both gas and surface chemistry of Al particles combustion is developed. The simulations indicate that the high pressure rise is caused by the extra heat released from the exothermic reactions of suppressants and the increase of gas phase products. MPP and MCA can suppress surface reaction by decreasing Al(L) site fraction. Additionally, the vaporization rate of Al particles and the diffusion rate of oxidizers close to the droplet surface are reduced by MPP and MCA addition.

Abstract
The suppression effect of melamine cyanurate (MCA) and melamine polyphosphate (MPP) on the flame propagation of aluminum dust were studied experimentally. The results indicated that the concentration of MPP required to supress the aluminum dust explosion was lower than MCA. As the concentration of suppressant increased, the acceleration and the maximum flame speed extremely decreased, and the flame morphology became isolated spot flames. The MPP addition exerted a stronger suppression effect on the temperature of aluminum flame compared to MCA addition. Meanwhile, the mechanism of flame suppression was further investigated. Decomposition of MCA and MPP particles could absorb the heat released from the flame front. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the gas phase reaction of aluminum particles was suppressed by MCA and MPP, resulting in a larger particle size of the explosion products. XRD results indicated that MCA and MPP did not react with aluminum. Gaseous products of suppressant decomposition altered flame chemistry by radically recombining O atom and reducing AlO, which resulted in less amount of heat release, lower flame speed and lower flame temperature.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors with a high rate of distant metastasis, postoperative recurrence and mortality. ATPase family AAA domain-containing protein 2 (ATAD2), a member of ATPase family, is highly expressed in various cancers, including colorectal cancer. However, whether ATAD2 plays a role in the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells remains unknown. In this study, we established ATAD2 knockdown in colorectal cancer cell lines by RNA interference and found that silencing of ATAD2 inhibited the migration and invasion ability of Caco-2 and SW-480 cells. Moreover, ATAD2 silencing suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and reduced the expression and enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in Caco-2 and SW-480 cells. In summary, our results suggest that silencing of ATAD2 inhibits migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells by suppressing EMT and decreasing the activity of MMPs. Hence, ATAD2 could be considered as a novel molecular marker of metastatic colorectal cancer, and it may provide new insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
To investigate the inhibition effect of ABC powder for 5 μm and 30 μm aluminum dust explosions, a standard 20 L spherical chamber was employed to determine the explosion severity of Al/ABC mixtures and the MIC (minimum inerting concentration) of ABC powder. Results showed that the MIC increased as the concentration of aluminum dust increased. Meanwhile, the MIC decreased with the declining particle diameter of ABC but increased with the reducing diameter of the aluminum particles. SEEP (suppressant enhanced explosion parameter) phenomenon was observed when the concentration of ABC powder was low. To reveal the enhancement mechanism of ABC powder, explosion severity of NH3 and Al/NH3 mixture was also determined. Results showed that the explosion severity of aluminum dust was significantly enhanced by adding NH3. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the particles of the explosion residues of Al/NH3 mixture and Al/ABC mixture were significantly larger than those of pure aluminum explosion residues. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the major explosion products of Al/NH3 mixture was Al2O3. Explosion products of Al/ABC mixture were mainly comprised of Al2O3 and P2O5. The inhibition mechanism of aluminum dust explosion by ABC powder was summarized systematically based on these results.

Suppression of polymethyl methacrylate dust explosion by ultrafine water mist/additives. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2018; 351:346-355. [PMID: 29558658 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2018.03.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2017] [Revised: 03/09/2018] [Accepted: 03/09/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The suppressions of ultrafine water mists containing additives (NaCl and NaHCO3) on 100 nm, 5 μm, and 30 μm polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) dust explosions were experimentally studied in a dust-explosion apparatus. High-speed photography showed that maximum vertical positions and flame propagation velocities were significantly decreased by suppression with ultrafine water mist/additives. Flame propagation velocities in 100 nm, 5 μm, and 30 μm dust explosions suppressed by the ultrafine pure water mist were reduced by 48.2%, 27.7%, and 15.3%, respectively. Maximum temperatures and temperature rising rates measured by a fine thermocouple in nano- and micro-PMMA dust explosions were also significantly decreased. It was proved that the addition of NaCl and NaHCO3 improved the suppression effects of the ultrafine pure water mist. The improvement of explosion suppression by an 8% NaHCO3 mist was superior to that of a 16% NaCl mist. The suppression mechanisms of ultrafine water mist/additives are further discussed by analyzing the physical and chemical effects.

Inhibition of aluminum dust explosion by NaHCO 3 with different particle size distributions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2018; 344:902-912. [PMID: 29195101 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2017.11.054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2017] [Revised: 11/25/2017] [Accepted: 11/27/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
NaHCO3 with three particle size distributions was employed to determine the minimum inerting concentration (MIC, g/m3) for the explosion of 5μm and 30μm aluminum dust in a standard 20L spherical chamber and thus examine the effect of particle size on the inhibition efficiency. Results showed that the MIC significantly increases as the aluminum particle size decreases from 30μm to 5μm. For 30μm aluminum, the MIC dramatically decreased with the reduction in the NaHCO3 particle size. By contrast, for 5μm aluminum, the MIC was nearly independent of the particle size of NaHCO3 in the range studied. Time-scale analysis indicated that the decomposition of NaHCO3 must be faster than the aluminum combustion reaction for effective chemical inhibition. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the particles of the explosion residues of a NaHCO3/Al mixture were considerably larger than those of pure aluminum explosion residues. A diameter ratio βmix was defined to evaluate the degree of incomplete reaction promoted by NaHCO3. The composition of the explosion products was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the data revealed that Na2CO3 and Al2O3 are the major species of the products. An inhibition mechanism was proposed based on these results.

Experimental research of heat-mass coupling response of liquid storage tanks. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2017; 338:502-507.

Abstract
In order to study the coupling response process of the liquid tank under the external thermal attack, experiments were carried out on a vertical cylindrical storage tank by electric heating. The response processes of the tank pressure, the medium temperatures, and the wet and dry tank wall temperatures were monitored in the experiments. The coupling responding process between the evolving characters of the medium temperature and the tank wall temperature, as well as the resulting rising features of the tank pressure were analyzed comprehensively. The results indicated that, on the one side the heat transfers process across and through the tank wall were influenced obviously by the thermal-flow fields of the two phase mediums which differ a lot in the thermal physical properties. On the other side, affected by the temperature rise in the wall, the vapor medium became thermal stratified and overheated with respect to the tank pressure, and the flow regime in the liquid medium would transform from causing stratification to promoting de-stratification affected by the wall boiling phenomenon.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations of MC4R and MSH2 with adult obesity, a total of 46 patients with early-stage colon cancer were treated in our hospital between February 2008 and February 2009 and were enrolled. PATIENTS AND METHODS Venous blood was regularly drawn from subjects of the observation group and 48 healthy subjects for 6 years. Expression levels of MC4R and MSH2 genes were tested using quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses, and the ensuing proteins were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and Western blotting and immunohistochemical analyses. Finally, correlations with body mass index (BMI) and the presence of colon cancer were identified using multivariate analyses. RESULTS Compared with the control group, MSH2 mRNA and protein expression increased significantly over time (p < 0.05) in patients with colon cancer. Moreover, MSH2 expression was correlated with colon cancer progression, and MC4R mRNA and protein expression increase concurrently in comparison with the control group (p < 0.05). Also, the mean BMI among patients with colon cancer was 30.8, whereas that among control subjects was only 21.4. These data indicate a relationship between BMI and colon cancer. CONCLUSIONS Expression of MSH2 in patients with colon cancer may promote the expression of the obesity gene MC4R, potentially contributing to body weight gains.

Experimental research on the characteristics of methane/air explosion affected by ultrafine water mist. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2017; 324:489-497. [PMID: 27843023 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2016.11.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2016] [Revised: 10/31/2016] [Accepted: 11/07/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
The inhibition effects of ultrafine water mists on 6.5%, 8%, 9.5%, 11%, and 13.5% methane explosions were experimentally studied in a sealed visual vessel. The mist (10μm) produced by a mist generation system in the vessel was measured by a phase doppler particle analyzer. A high-speed camera was used to record the explosion flame affected by spraying concentration and a high frequency pressure sensor was used to acquire the explosion pressure. Meanwhile, the relationship between flame propagation and pressure rising with time was analyzed. The appearance height of "tulip" flame was increased and appearance moment was delayed obviously with the mist amount increased. The variation trend was illustrated from the viewpoint of the interactions among the flame front, the flame-induced reverse flow and the vortices. Moreover, cellular structure appeared in the burned zone and experienced four developing stages, and its formation indicates that water vapor can cause the intrinsic flame instability and absorb heat on the burned zone further. The pressure underwent two accelerating rises, which was affected by mist amount. The accelerating rise processes were related to the accelerating propagation of combustion wave. Furthermore, methane explosion can be absolutely suppressed by the mist.

Suppression of methane/air explosion by ultrafine water mist containing sodium chloride additive. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2015; 285:311-318.

Abstract
The suppression effect of ultrafine mists on methane/air explosions with methane concentrations of 6.5%, 8%, 9.5%, 11%, and 13.5% were experimentally studied in a closed visual vessel. Ultrafine water/NaCl solution mist as well as pure water mist was adopted and the droplet sizes of mists were measured by phase doppler particle analyzer (PDPA). A high speed camera was used to record the flame evolution processes. In contrast to pure water mist, the flame propagation speed, the maximum explosion overpressure (ΔP(max)), and the maximum pressure rising rate ((dP/dt)max) decreased significantly, with the "tulip" flame disappearing and the flame getting brighter. The results show that the suppressing effect on methane explosion by ultrafine water/NaCl solution mist is influenced by the mist amount and methane concentration. With the increase of the mist amount, the pressure, and the flame speed both descended significantly. And when the mist amount reached 74.08 g/m(3) and 37.04 g/m(3), the flames of 6.5% and 13.5% methane explosions can be absolutely suppressed, respectively. All of results indicate that addition of NaCl can improve the suppression effect of ultrafine pure water mist on the methane explosions, and the suppression effect is considered due to the combination effect of physical and chemical inhibitions.
