The results showed that the total amount of REE in fluorites is usually low,ranging from 0.705 to 8.785 μg/g with the chondrite-normalized REE dis-tribution patterns similar to those of the Qitianling granites in the study area,characterized by LREE-enrichment patterns with pronounced negative Eu anomalies. The fluorites vary in Sr isotopic composition within the range of 0.7083-0.7091,the values are lower than those of the granites and higher than those of the host carbonate rocks in this area. The εNd(t) values of fluorites vary between -9.4 and +10.3,revealing that both the crust-and mantle-source materials were involved in the ore-forming hydrothermal fluids. Combined with previous studies on this ore deposit,the Bailashui tin deposit is temporally and spatially closely related with granitic magmatism in this area. The hydro-thermal fluorites are the product of fluid/rock interactions between granitic magmatic hydrothermal fluid and marine carbonate rocks. The REE and F in the ore-forming fluid were derived from the granites,whereas Sr in the ore-forming fluid came mainly from the granitic magmatic hydrothermal fluid and marine carbonate rocks,although variations in Sr isotopic composition cannot be explained by a simple mixture of these two end-members. Evidence demonstrated that the ore-forming fluids are of crustal-mantle mixing origin,but that the fluids were probably in-completely homogenized and this may be caused by inhomogeneous mixing of the fluids of different sources.展开更多

The concentrations of ...The Jinding Pb-Zn deposit in Yunnan Province is the representative of a Cd-enriched area and mining activities lead to the release of Cd into the hypergenic ecosystem, resulting in Cd pollution. The concentrations of Cd vary greatly from one type to another type of rocks in the mining district. In the host rock, Cd concentrations range from 50×10-6 to 650×10-6 with an average of 310×10-6. In primary ores, Cd concentrations range from 14×10-6 to 2800×10-6 with an average of 767×10-6. However, in oxidized ores, Cd concentrations are highest, varying within the range of 110×10-6 to 8200×10-6 , averaging 1661×10-6. It is shown that the oxidized ores are the main carrier and environmental source of Cd. Leaching test showed that Pb/Zn ores are easy to oxidize and thereafter release Cd and other harmful elements. These leached elements in the leachate may be precipitated rapidly in the order of Zn>Pb>Cd. As for the concentration distribution of Cd in the Bijiang River, it is estimated to be 15.7 μg/L Cd in water, 49.3 mg/L in suspended substances, and 203.7 mg/L in sediments. The average value of Cd in soil from the polluted area is 83.0 mg/kg. Natural weathering of Cd-rich rocks and minerals imposes a potential environmental risk on the aquatic ecosystem of the Bijiang catchment.展开更多

It inhibits the entry and replication of many viruses, which are independent of receptorusage but dependent on processes that occur in endosomes. In this study, we demonstrate that IFITM3 playsimportant roles in regulating the RNA-virus-triggered production of IFN-β in a negative-feedback manner.Overexpression of IFITM3 inhibited Sendai virus-triggered induction of IFN-β, whereas knockdown of IFITM3 hadthe opposite effect. We also showed that IFITM3 was constitutively associated with IRF3 and regulated thehomeostasis of IRF3 by mediating the autophagic degradation of IRF3. These findings suggest a novel inhibitoryfunction of IFITM3 on the RNA-virus-triggered production of type I IFNs and cellular antiviral responses.展开更多

Mesoporous γ-Fe2O3, α-/γ-Fe2O3, and α-Fe2O3 nanofibers could be fabricated successfully by changing the synthesis parameters. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analyses, Raman spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses were used to characterize the structures of the synthesized products. The optimal calcination conditions for preparing α-/γ-FeaO3 nanofibers with the highest ethanol response were determined through ethanol-sensing measurements. The mixed-phase material exhibited a significantly higher sensitivity than the corresponding purephase ones. The superior ethanol-sensing performance of the α-/γ-Fe2O3 nanofibers suggested that they may be suitable for use in alcohol sensing. Hence, a novel strategy for improving the sensing performance of metal oxide semiconductors is to assemble the different crystalline forms of the same metal oxide in one structure. Finally, the mechanism responsible for the sensing performance of α-/γ-Fe2O3 being higher than those of γ-Fe2O3 and α-Fe2O3 was elucidated on the basis of data from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and resistance measurements.展开更多

文摘The Jinding Pb-Zn deposit in Yunnan Province is the representative of a Cd-enriched area and mining activities lead to the release of Cd into the hypergenic ecosystem, resulting in Cd pollution. The concentrations of Cd vary greatly from one type to another type of rocks in the mining district. In the host rock, Cd concentrations range from 50×10-6 to 650×10-6 with an average of 310×10-6. In primary ores, Cd concentrations range from 14×10-6 to 2800×10-6 with an average of 767×10-6. However, in oxidized ores, Cd concentrations are highest, varying within the range of 110×10-6 to 8200×10-6 , averaging 1661×10-6. It is shown that the oxidized ores are the main carrier and environmental source of Cd. Leaching test showed that Pb/Zn ores are easy to oxidize and thereafter release Cd and other harmful elements. These leached elements in the leachate may be precipitated rapidly in the order of Zn>Pb>Cd. As for the concentration distribution of Cd in the Bijiang River, it is estimated to be 15.7 μg/L Cd in water, 49.3 mg/L in suspended substances, and 203.7 mg/L in sediments. The average value of Cd in soil from the polluted area is 83.0 mg/kg. Natural weathering of Cd-rich rocks and minerals imposes a potential environmental risk on the aquatic ecosystem of the Bijiang catchment.

文摘The ROP(rate of penetration)within the horizontal section of shale gas wells in the Luzhou oil field is low,seriously delaying the exploration and development process.It is proved that reducing mud density mitigates the bottom-hole differential pressure(ΔP)and increases the ROP during overbalanced drilling.However,wellbore collapse may occur when wellbore pressure is excessively low.It is urgent to ascertain the optimal equilibrium point between improving ROP and maintaining wellbore stability.The safe mud weight window and the lower limit of mud density in the horizontal section of the Luzhou block are predicted using the piecewise fitting method based on conventional logging data.Then,the accuracy of the collapse pressure prediction was verified using the distinct element method(DEM),and the effect of wellbore pressure,in-situ stress,rock cohesion,and natural fracture density on borehole collapse was investigated.Finally,a fitting model ofΔP and ROP of the horizontal section in the Luzhou block is established to predict ROP promotion potential after mud density reduction.The field application of this approach,demonstrated in 8 horizontal wells in the Luzhou block,effectively validates the efficiency of reducing mud density for ROP improvement.This study provides a useful method for simultaneously improving ROP and maintaining wellbore stability and offers significant insights for petroleum engineers in the design of drilling parameters.

文摘The Lianhuashan metallogenic belt in Eastern Guangdong Province(South China)is the most important Sn polymetallic district in the region,hosting many medium-sized deposits such as the Tashan,Xianshuili,and Jiangxikeng.However,the metallogenic mechanism of these deposits remains hotly debated.In this paper,two types of cassiterites(Cst1 and Cst2)have been identified in the Xianshuili and Jiangxikeng Sn deposits,which are hosted in the biotite-mylonite and garnetcordierite-muscovite blastomylonite,respectively.The euhedral Cst1(0.50–1.8 mm)coexists with biotite,feldspar,and quartz.It is platy and zoned with a mosaic structure.The subhedral to anhedral Cst2(0.02–0.35 mm)coexists with metamorphic minerals such as garnet and cordierite,and it is characterized by well-developed porosity and has no zonation.In-situ U-Pb dating of the Cst1 and Cst2 yielded ages of 149.5±1.0 Ma(MSWD=1.6,n=45)and 125.1±2.3 Ma(MSWD=4.5,n=43),respectively.Cst1 is most likely to be related to the intermediate-felsic magmatism that formed Gaojiping Group,whereas Cst2 has relatively high Ta,Nb,Fe,and W contents with obvious rare earth tetragroup effect,and may have formed by the late Early Cretaceous dynamic metamorphism.Results presented here,when combined with regional geology and geochemistry,led us to suggest that the Mesozoic intermediate-felsic volcanic rocks in the LMB are significantly enriched in Sn and F,with high Sn-polymetallic mineralization potential which likely have contributed to the volcanic-related Cst1.In the late Early Cretaceous period,due to the NW-dipping subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate,the intermediate-felsic volcanic rocks underwent dynamic metamorphism that led to Sn mobilization,migration,and precipitation in the regional ductile shear zones,and eventually generating Sn mineralization.We propose that areas beneath Xianshuili and Jiangxikeng have great potential for discovery of new Sn resources.Our findings likely offer practical importance to regional geological ore prospecting.

文摘We aimed to assess the associations of large artery stenosis(LAS)and cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)with the risk of ischemic stroke and to investigate their respective and combined contributions.In the prospective population-based Shunyi Study,1,082 stroke-free participants aged 55.9±9.1 years were included.Participants were followed for incident stroke throughout the study period(2013-2019).Total small vessel disease score was used to measure CSVD burden.Cervico-cerebral large artery stenosis was evaluated via brain magnetic resonance angiography and carotid ultrasound.We estimated the risk of ischemic stroke in relation to LAS and CSVD with Cox regression models.During a mean follow-up of 4.2 years,34 participants(3.1%)experienced at least one ischemic stroke.Severe LAS(≥50% stenosis versus no stenosis:HR=3.27(95%CI:1.31-8.18))and high CSVD burden(total small vessel disease score 2-4 versus 0 point:HR=12.73(4.83-33.53))were associated with increased stroke risk independently.In multivariate models,CSVD burden(7.72%)explained a larger portion of the variation in stroke risk than severity of LAS(3.49%).Our findings identified that both LAS and CSVD were associated with future ischemic stroke in asymptomatic subjects,while those with high CSVD burden deserve more attention in primary prevention of stroke.

文摘Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) is a restriction factor that can be induced by viral infectionand interferons (IFNs). It inhibits the entry and replication of many viruses, which are independent of receptorusage but dependent on processes that occur in endosomes. In this study, we demonstrate that IFITM3 playsimportant roles in regulating the RNA-virus-triggered production of IFN-β in a negative-feedback manner.Overexpression of IFITM3 inhibited Sendai virus-triggered induction of IFN-β, whereas knockdown of IFITM3 hadthe opposite effect. We also showed that IFITM3 was constitutively associated with IRF3 and regulated thehomeostasis of IRF3 by mediating the autophagic degradation of IRF3. These findings suggest a novel inhibitoryfunction of IFITM3 on the RNA-virus-triggered production of type I IFNs and cellular antiviral responses.

文摘A process for synthesizing Fe2O3 based on electrospinning and the hard-template method was proposed such that the crystal phase of Fe2O3 could be tailored with precision. Mesoporous γ-Fe2O3, α-/γ-Fe2O3, and α-Fe2O3 nanofibers could be fabricated successfully by changing the synthesis parameters. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analyses, Raman spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses were used to characterize the structures of the synthesized products. The optimal calcination conditions for preparing α-/γ-FeaO3 nanofibers with the highest ethanol response were determined through ethanol-sensing measurements. The mixed-phase material exhibited a significantly higher sensitivity than the corresponding purephase ones. The superior ethanol-sensing performance of the α-/γ-Fe2O3 nanofibers suggested that they may be suitable for use in alcohol sensing. Hence, a novel strategy for improving the sensing performance of metal oxide semiconductors is to assemble the different crystalline forms of the same metal oxide in one structure. Finally, the mechanism responsible for the sensing performance of α-/γ-Fe2O3 being higher than those of γ-Fe2O3 and α-Fe2O3 was elucidated on the basis of data from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and resistance measurements.

文摘Exonuclease 1(EXO1)can catalyze nucleotide chain excision with its conserved N-terminal domain of 5′ to 3′ exonuclease activity,enabling it to influence diverse biological processes facing the challenges of genotoxic environmental factors such as ionizing radiation.This nuclease activity enables EXO1 to maintain replication forks and telomeres length,to facilitate post-replication DNA repair and to process the end resection step of homologous recombination of DNA double-strand breaks-induced by ionizing radiation.When DNA replication is disrupted or blocked,EXO1 can cleave the broken DNA ends to form 3’ssDNA,leading to repair pathways activation.Excess EXO1-mediated nucleotide excision,however,can introduce an abundance of single-stranded DNA that can cause mutation and recombination via micro-homology-mediated end joining or single-strand annealing mechanisms,contributing to a loss of genetic information.EXO1 activity must therefore be carefully regulated within healthy cells.The mutations and dysregulations of EXO1 can increase the sensitivity of cells to radiation injury and risk of oncogenic transformation,limit the adoption of specific treatments in a range of human diseases.As such,EXO1 represents a promising target for the treatment and prevention of cancer.In the present review,we delineate the structural properties and functional characteristics of EXO1,discuss the relationship between this exonuclease and cancer susceptibility as well as the second cancers related to radiotherapy.
