Study of the mixing in the decays
We studied the B meson decays in the pQCD
approach beyond the leading order. With the vertex corrections and the NLO
Wilson coefficients included, the branching ratios of the considered decays are
, and with the mixing angle
, which can agree well with the data or the present
experimental upper limit within errors. So we support the opinion that
is much more favored than . Furthermore,
we also give the predictions for the polarization fractions, direct CP
violations from the different polarization components, the relative phase
angles for the considered decays with the mixing angle
and , respectively. The direct CP violations of the two charged
decays are very small ,
because there is no weak phase until up to with the
Wolfenstein parameter . These results can be tested at the
running LHCb and forthcoming Super-B experiments.Comment: 14 pages,3 figures,to appear in EPJ
Electroweak chiral Lagrangian for left–right symmetric models: The matter sector
AbstractThe matter sector of electroweak chiral Lagrangian up to dimension four operators for left–right symmetric models with a neutral light Higgs is provided. The connection of these operators to Yukawa couplings, anomalous gauge couplings and parameters in the matter sector of conventional electroweak chiral Lagrangian is made. It is shown that there exists proper parameter space to loosen constraint for the mass of right handed gauge boson from the mass difference of neutral K meson
Clinical Features and Genetic Analysis of 20 Chinese Patients with X-Linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome
X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIGM) is one type of primary immunodeficiency diseases, resulting from defects in the CD40 ligand/CD40 signaling pathways. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and molecular features of 20 Chinese patients diagnosed and followed up in hospitals affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from 1999 to 2013. The median onset age of these patients was 8.5 months (range: 20 days–21 months). Half of them had positive family histories, with a shorter diagnosis lag. The most common symptoms were recurrent sinopulmonary infections (18 patients, 90%), neutropenia (14 patients, 70%), oral ulcer (13 patients, 65%), and protracted diarrhea (13 patients, 65%). Six patients had BCGitis. Six patients received hematopoietic stem cell transplantations and four of them had immune reconstructions and clinical remissions. Eighteen unique mutations in CD40L gene were identified in these 20 patients from 19 unrelated families, with 12 novel mutations. We compared with reported mutation results and used bioinformatics software to predict the effects of mutations on the target protein. These mutations reflected the heterogeneity of CD40L gene and expanded our understanding of XHIGM
