The gabbros investigated in this paper contain cumulate gabbro and gabbro dike, and they have undergone greenschist-amphibolite facies metamorphism. The chondrite normalized rare earth element (REE) patterns of most of these rocks show flat types with slightly light REE (LREE) depletion and the N-MORB normalized incompatible elements diagrams indicate depletion in high field strength elements (HFSE) (Nb, Ta) and enrichment in large ion lithophile elements (LILE). These gabbros have island arc and mid-ocean ridge basalt af- finities, suggesting that they were originated in an oceanic back arc basin. Whole rock geochemistry and high positive εNd(t) values show that these gabbros were derived from -30% partial melting of a spinel lherzolite mantle, which was enriched by interaction with slab-derived fluids and melts from sediment. U-Pb analyses of zircons from cumulate gabbro yield a weighted mean age of 114.3±1.4 Ma. Based on our data and previous studies, we propose that an intra-oceanic subduction system and back arc basin operated in the Neo-Tethy Ocean of central Tibet during Middle Jurassic and Early Creta- ceous, resembling modern active intra-oceanic subduction systems in the western Pacific.展开更多

In the heating stage, four sam- pies exhibited a flat plateau age, with the value Tp concentrated in the range of 166-176 Ma; isochron age Ti was concentrated in the range of 165-175 Ma, and their corresponding ages were the consistent within allowable range. The ages should be representative of the era of the final deformation of the Amdo gneiss and cooling emplacement of the magmatic rock in the Jurassic. The geochronological studies have shown that the final deformation of microcontinent crystalline basement and the cooling of the Mesozoic large-scale tectonothermal events occurred in late Middle Jurassic. In Middle Jurassic, Nyainrong microcontinent experienced strong tectonic movement. Combining with the geochronologi- cal with isotope geochemistry for the microcontinent, the cause of the tectonothermal event should be attributed to the collision between the Nyainrong microcontinent and South Qiangtang Block following the northward subduction of Bangong-Nujiang oceanic crust.展开更多

These results offer new insights into mantle source characteristics and geodynamic setting of Permian ophiolitic fragments. U-Pb isotopic dating using SHRIMP II method reveals that the metamafic rocks were formed at 274.7± 3.9 and 279.8± 3.6 Ma. The metamafic rocks mostly show N-MORB-typed rare earth element patterns and are enrichment in large-ion lithophile elements, indicating that they are probably derived from partial melting of a depleted mantle in a back-arc basin. Our new data, together with recent studied results on Paleozoic ophiolitic fragments suggest the Paleo-Tethys Ocean in Central Qiangtang opened at Cambrian and widened between Ordovician and Devonian. Northward subduction started in the Late Devonian–Early Carboniferous and a back-arc basin developed during Permian.展开更多

These results offer new insights into mantle source characteristics and geodynamic setting of Permian ophiolitic fragments. U-Pb isotopic dating using SHRIMP II method reveals that the metamafic rocks were formed at 274.7± 3.9 and 279.8± 3.6 Ma. The metamafic rocks mostly show N-MORB-typed rare earth element patterns and are enrichment in large-ion lithophile elements, indicating that they are probably derived from partial melting of a depleted mantle in a back-arc basin. Our new data, together with recent studied results on Paleozoic ophiolitic fragments suggest the Paleo-Tethys Ocean in Central Qiangtang opened at Cambrian and widened between Ordovician and Devonian. Northward subduction started in the Late Devonian–Early Carboniferous and a back-arc basin developed during Permian.

文摘Bioadhesive gels with robust adhesion on wet and irregular tissue surfaces are desirable for clinical applications.Assembly of bioadhesive powders is an effective strategy for obtaining gels that adhere to wet and irregular tissue surfaces by absorbing interfacial water.However,current bioadhesive powders lack positive biological functions and are prone to postoperative adhesion.Here,we present a powder strategy based on metal-ligand coordination to create a series of bioadhesive polyacrylic acid(PAA)gels.In the gel network,metal ions(M^(n+))are used to coordinate with the carboxy ligands of PAA to form dynamic noncovalent crosslinks.The powders can absorb interfacial water and assemble into gels on wet and irregular tissue surfaces within a few seconds,forming an initial adhesion layer by electrostatic interactions.Furthermore,the polymers can diffuse into the tissue matrix,and metal-ligand coordination is reconstructed to enhance the adhesion.Moreover,with a cationic shield layer,the bioadhesive powders can effectively avoid postoperative adhesion.Importantly,M^(n+) ions endow the gel with customized biological functions.We demonstrate that the hemostatic,antibacterial,peroxidase-like catalytic,and photodetachment abilities of the gels by incorporating different M^(n+) ions.These advantages make the bioadhesive powder a promising platform for diverse tissue repair applications.

文摘To satisfy the requirements of social power development,it is urgently necessary to develop innovative and sustainable new energy storage devices.Supercapacitors have attracted considerable attention as a new type of energy storage device,owing to their high energy density,high power density,fast charging and discharging speeds,and long cycle life.The electrode material is an important factor in determining the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors.In recent years,researchers explored the application of metal‐organic frameworks(MOFs)and their derivatives as electrode materials for supercapacitors.In this paper,the preparation of monometallic,bimetallic,and conductive MOFs,and their derivatives for application in supercapacitors are reviewed.In addition,challenges facing MOFs in the field of supercapacitors and their future development prospects are discussed.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)refer to porous coordination materials that are formed from the assembly of metal ions and organic ligands.They have unique features,such as a large specific surface area,multiple active sites,easy functionalisation,and adjustable biocompatibility.MOFs have recently been widely used in the field of biomedical engineering owing to their unique structures and properties.This has enabled them to replace traditional materials and effectively address several problems.Through continuous development,MOF-based biomaterials have been remarkably improved by clarifying the relationship between MOF structures and properties.As a result,they are being extensively studied in the fields of chemical and material science.MOF-based biomaterials can meet the growing demands for efficient materials in biomedical appli-cations.This review first discusses the basic structure of MOFs,followed by their preparation and functionalisation methods.The biomedical applications of MOF‐based biomaterials in the fields of antibacterial activity,tumour therapy,skin repair,and bone repair are then summarised.Finally,challenges and future perspectives in the biomedical applications of MOF-based biomaterials are outlined.
文摘The surfaces of biomaterials determine their efficacy and hence,have an important role in clinical applications.Through bio-inspired surface nanofunctionalisation,the surface properties of biomaterials such as physical morphologyand chemical composition can be tailored using biomimicry.It is a powerful tool for improving the interactions betweenthe physiological environment and biomaterial surfaces.Therefore,research on bio-inspired nanofunctionalised surfaceshas attracted much attention in recent years.This review focus on the recent bio-inspired strategies based on the structureof the extracellular matrix(ECM)and composition of mussel-inspired polydopamine(PDA).The design,preparation,andproperties of ECM and PDA-inspired nanofunctionalised biomaterial surfaces are reviewed.l have also highlighted theeffects of these bio-inspired nanofunctionalised biomaterial surfaces on bone regeneration,cartilage repair,andantibacterial activities.
