چکیده

Soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the L_{2,3} edge of the iron center in bovine hemoglobin and hemin under physiological conditions is reported for the first time. Spectra of the same compounds in solid form are presented for comparison. Striking differences in the electronic structure of the metalloporphyrin are observed between the liquid and solid compounds. We unambiguously show that hemoglobin and hemin are in a high-spin ferric state in solution, and that the 2p spin-orbit coupling decreases for hemin compared to the hemoglobin, while this is not the case in solids. The spectra were simulated using ligand field multiplet theory, in good agreement with the experiment, allowing quantification of the amount of charge transfer between the porphyrin and Fe3+ ion in hemoglobin and in hemin.

Trend of Changes in Blood Sugar and Glycated Hemoglobin in Electronic Health Records, Sari, Iran 2012- 2018

Background and purpose: High prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and its demand for regular care have resulted in a massive amount of electronic health records (EHRs). Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) levels are two widely-used diagnostic measures for evaluation of diabetes care. This study aimed at assessing Family Medicine Plan (FMP) and exploring the trend of ch...
