目的探讨围绝经期女性骨代谢状况与"血瘀"的关联性。方法 132例符合纳入标准的围绝经期女性按年龄每5岁为一组,分为4组,采用电化学发光法检测不同阶段Ⅰ型胶原氨基端前肽(PINP)、Ⅰ型胶原羧基端肽β特殊序列(β-CTX)、骨钙素N-端中分子片段(N-MID)等骨代谢指标,同时检测血液流变学指标,并对其进行"血瘀"量化评分、甲襞微循环评分,相关数据采用多元回归等统计学进行分析。结果 PINP与全血中切粘度、血瘀量化评分、甲襞微循环评分存在显著的正相关(P<0.01);β-CTX与血瘀量化评分、甲襞微循环评分存在显著的正相关(P<0.01),与红细胞电泳时间存在显著负相关(P<0.01),与全血低切粘度、红细胞刚性指数存在正相关(P<0.05);N-MID与全血中切粘度、血瘀量化评分、甲襞微循环评分存在显著正相关(P<0.01)与全血低切粘度存在正相关(P<0.05)。结论围绝经女性骨代谢状况与"血瘀"关系密切,血瘀是导致围绝经女性骨代谢状况发生变化而发生骨质疏松的重要因素之一。Objective To discuss the correlation between bone metabolism and blood stasis in perimenopausal women. Me thods132 cases of perimenopausal women meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into 4 groups by every 5-year age. Type I collagen amino-terminal propeptide( PINP),carboxy-terminal peptide β special sequence( β-CTX),and molecular osteocalcin N- terminal fragment( N-MID) were detected with electrochemical luminescence at different stages. Blood rheology,blood stasis quantitative score,and microcirculation score were simultaneously detected. Data were analyzed using multiple regression method. Re sults PINP was positively correlated with shear viscosity of whole blood,blood stasis quantitative score,and microcirculation score( P <0. 01). β-CTX was positively correlated with blood stasis quantitative score,microcirculation score,lowshear whole blood viscosity,and erythrocyte rigidity index( P < 0. 01),but was negatively correlated with erythrocyte electrophoresis time( P <0. 01). N-MID was positively correlated with whole blood viscosity,blood stasis quantitative score,microcirculation score( P <0. 01),and lowshear whole blood viscosity( P < 0. 05). Conclusion Bone metabolism and blood stasis are closely related in perimenopausal women. Blood stasis is one of the important factors leading to osteoporosis and change of bone metabolism in perimenopausal women.福建省医学创新课题(2012-CXB-26);; 福建省中医药课题(WST201205

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p → ν K + searches*

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated. The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ is 36.9% ± 4.9% with a background level of $0.2\pm 0.05({\rm syst})\pm$$0.2({\rm stat})$ events after 10 years of data collection. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies

Prediction of Energy Resolution in the JUNO Experiment

International audienceThis paper presents the energy resolution study in the JUNO experiment, incorporating the latest knowledge acquired during the detector construction phase. The determination of neutrino mass ordering in JUNO requires an exceptional energy resolution better than 3% at 1 MeV. To achieve this ambitious goal, significant efforts have been undertaken in the design and production of the key components of the JUNO detector. Various factors affecting the detection of inverse beta decay signals have an impact on the energy resolution, extending beyond the statistical fluctuations of the detected number of photons, such as the properties of liquid scintillator, performance of photomultiplier tubes, and the energy reconstruction algorithm. To account for these effects, a full JUNO simulation and reconstruction approach is employed. This enables the modeling of all relevant effects and the evaluation of associated inputs to accurately estimate the energy resolution. The study reveals an energy resolution of 2.95% at 1 MeV. Furthermore, the study assesses the contribution of major effects to the overall energy resolution budget. This analysis serves as a reference for interpreting future measurements of energy resolution during JUNO data taking. Moreover, it provides a guideline in comprehending the energy resolution characteristics of liquid scintillator-based detectors
