The kinematic region of the measurements is pT〈20 GeV/c and 2.0 〈g〈4.5.The measurements use a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb-1 collected by the LHCb detector in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies √s=7 TeV in 2011 and √s=8 TeV in 2012. Based on previous LHCb results of the fragmentation fraction ratio,f∧0/b/fd,the branching fraction of the decay ∧0/b→ J/ψ pK-is measured to be B(∧0/b→ J/ψ pK-)=(3.17±0.04±0.07±0.34+0.45/-0.28)×10-4,where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, the third is due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the decay -B/0 →J/ψ-K*(892)0,and the fourth is due to the knowledge of f∧0/b/fd.The sum of the asymmetries in the production and decay between ∧0/b and ∧0/bis also measured as a function of PT and y.The previously published branching fraction of ∧0/b→ J/ψ pπ-,relative to that of ∧0/b→ J/ψ pK-,is updated. The branching fractions of ∧0/b→P+c(→ J/ψp)K-are determined.展开更多

目的:采用鉴别和标准化特征(discrimination and calibration characteristics)以及危险再分类对不同脂质测量指标预测CHD的性能进行比较;评估载脂蛋白预测CHD的效果是否优于传统的脂质指标。设计、地点及参试者:以人群为基础的前瞻性队列来自FraminghaiR,Massachusetts。我们评估了血清总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、non-HDL-C、载脂蛋白(apo)A-I和apoB以及三种脂质比值(总胆固醇:HDL-C,LDL-c:HDL-C以及apoB:apoA-I)。332例中年白人参试者均参加了第4次后代检查(1987~1991年),没有心血管病。53%的参试者为女性。主要观测指标:首次CHD事件(已确诊或未确诊之心肌梗死、心绞痛、冠状动脉不全或冠心病死亡)。结果:在中位随访15年后,291例参试者(198例男性)发生CHD。在校正非脂质危险因素的多变量模型中,apoB:apoA-I比值可预测CHD(在男性每增加1个sD的风险比[hazardratio,HR],1.39;95%可信区间[CI],1.23~1.58。女性HR,1.40;95%,CI,1.16~1.67),但是其危险比与总胆固醇:HDL—C(男性HR,1.39;95%CI,1.22~1.58。女性HR,1.39;95%CI,1.17~1.66)、LDL—C:HDL—C(男性HR,1.35;95%CI,1.18~1.54。女性HR,1.36;95%CI,1.14~1.63)相似。在男性及女性,使用apoB:apoA—I比值的模型证实其操作特征与其他脂质相似但不优于其他脂质比值。apoB::apoA—I比值在包含所有Framinghan危险评分因子的模型,包括总胆固醇:HDL—C(男性、P=0.12;女性P=0.58),不能预测CHR危险。
结论:在这个大型人群队列,apoB:apoA-I比值预测CHD的性能与传统的脂质比值相近,但并不优于总胆展开更多
