Results show that ranges of C, N, P and K contents in the leaves ofP. euphratica were 39.08%-46.16%, 0.28%-2.81%, 0.05%-0.18% and 0.35%-2.03%, with means of 43.51%, 1.49%, 0.102% and 1.17%, respectively. The ratio of C/N, C/P and N/P changed from 16.26 to 146.61, from 258.08 to 908.67 and from 2.89 to 26.67; the mean was 37.24, 466.27 and 15.14, respectively. The mean N content was significantly lower than of deciduous trees in China, but the mean P content was nearly equivalent. The ratio of C/N was remarkably higher than of global land plants. The ratio of N/P indicated that growth ofP. euphratica was jointly limited by N and P nutrient deficiency. During the growth season, total trends of leaf C, N, P and K contents decreased. The max- imum appeared in May, and the minimum in September. Among microhabitats, C, N and K contents gradually increased from ri- parian lowland, flatland, sandpile, Gobi and dune, but C/N ratio was opposite, and P content was not apparent. Foliar C content was extremely, significantly and positively correlated with N and K contents, respectively. The relationships of N-K and P-K were both significantly positive.展开更多

This study sought to examine mental health development measured with University Personality Inventory (UPI) among Chinese college students and its relationship with family factors (family income, family residence, and sibling status~) with a longitudinal design. Data of 390 Chinese college students were collected at their first and the third year of college period. The results showed that Chinese college students' overall mental health declined in the third year than in the first year. Urban students showed a more rapid increase in physical symptoms from the first year to the third year than rural students. The results indicated that psychological intervention should be extended to students facing graduation, especially those from urban area.展开更多

However, uncertainty still exists in the estimation results of carbonate rock chemical weathering carbon sink fluxes(CCSF), and the contributions of climate change and ecological restoration to the CCSF are not clear. To this end, we compiled published site data on ion concentrations in different watersheds in China and used a classical thermodynamic dissolution model to reassess the potential and spatial and temporal patterns of the CCSF in China from 1991 to 2020. We quantified the contributions of temperature(MAT), precipitation(MAP), evapotranspiration(ET), soil water(SM), and the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) to the CCSF. The results revealed that(1) China's CCSF was 22.76 t CO_(2)km^(-2)yr^(-1), which was higher than the global average(15.77 t CO_(2)km^(-2)yr^(-1)). The total carbonate rock chemical weathering carbon sink(CCS) was 4772.67×10^(4)t CO_(2), contributing 14.91% of the global CCS through a carbonate rock area of 252.98×10^(4)km^(-2).(2) China's CCSF decreased gradually from southeast to northwest, with values of 33.14, 12.93, and7.27 t CO_(2)km^(-2)yr^(-1)in the southern karst, Qinghai-Tibetan karst, and northern karst regions, respectively.(3) The overall CCSF in China exhibited an increasing trend from 1991 to 2020, with a rate of increase of 0.16 t CO_(2)km^(-2)yr^(-1).(4) The contributions of the MAP, MAT, ET, SM, and NDVI to the CCSF were 63.3%, 3.02%, 27.5%, 3.1%, and 3.05%, respectively. Among them, the increase in precipitation was the main contributor to the increase in the CCSF in China over the last 30 years, while the enhancement of ET offset part of the positive contribution of the increase in precipitation to the CCSF. In conclusion, the results of this study provide a systematic quantification of the magnitude, the patterns, and the influencing factors of CCS over a long time series in China. The results are of great significance and provide a reference for the diagnosis and gap analysis of the national and global carbon neutrality capacities.展开更多

Although miPs are difficult to analyze and identify, a number of studies have begun to focus on them. More and more miPs have been revealed as essential for energy metabolism homeostasis, immune regulation, and tumor growth and development. Many reports have shown that miPs are especially essential for regulating glucose and lipid metabolism and regulating mitochondrial function.MiPs are also involved in the progression of related diseases. This paper reviews the sources and identification of miPs, as well as the functional significance of miPs for metabolism-related diseases, with the aim of revealing their potential clinical applications.展开更多

文摘This study explores the diagnostic value of combining the Padua score with the thrombotic biomarker tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(tPAI-1)for assessing the risk of deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in patients with pulmonary heart disease.These patients often exhibit symptoms similar to venous thrombosis,such as dyspnea and bilateral lower limb swelling,complicating differential diagnosis.The Padua Prediction Score assesses the risk of venous thromboembolism(VTE)in hospitalized patients,while tPAI-1,a key fibrinolytic system inhibitor,indicates a hypercoagulable state.Clinical data from hospitalized patients with cor pulmonale were retrospectively analyzed.ROC curves compared the diagnostic value of the Padua score,tPAI-1 levels,and their combined model for predicting DVT risk.Results showed that tPAI-1 levels were significantly higher in DVT patients compared to non-DVT patients.The Padua score demonstrated a sensitivity of 82.61%and a specificity of 55.26%at a cutoff value of 3.The combined model had a significantly higher AUC than the Padua score alone,indicating better discriminatory ability in diagnosing DVT risk.The combination of the Padua score and tPAI-1 detection significantly improves the accuracy of diagnosing DVT risk in patients with pulmonary heart disease,reducing missed and incorrect diagnoses.This study provides a comprehensive assessment tool for clinicians,enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cor pulmonale complicated by DVT.Future research should validate these findings in larger samples and explore additional thrombotic biomarkers to optimize the predictive model.

To this end, we compiled published site data on ion concentrations in different watersheds in China and used a classical thermodynamic dissolution model to reassess the potential and spatial and temporal patterns of the CCSF in China from 1991 to 2020. We quantified the contributions of temperature(MAT), precipitation(MAP), evapotranspiration(ET), soil water(SM), and the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) to the CCSF. The results revealed that(1) China's CCSF was 22.76 t CO_(2)km^(-2)yr^(-1), which was higher than the global average(15.77 t CO_(2)km^(-2)yr^(-1)). The total carbonate rock chemical weathering carbon sink(CCS) was 4772.67×10^(4)t CO_(2), contributing 14.91% of the global CCS through a carbonate rock area of 252.98×10^(4)km^(-2).(2) China's CCSF decreased gradually from southeast to northwest, with values of 33.14, 12.93, and7.27 t CO_(2)km^(-2)yr^(-1)in the southern karst, Qinghai-Tibetan karst, and northern karst regions, respectively.(3) The overall CCSF in China exhibited an increasing trend from 1991 to 2020, with a rate of increase of 0.16 t CO_(2)km^(-2)yr^(-1).(4) The contributions of the MAP, MAT, ET, SM, and NDVI to the CCSF were 63.3%, 3.02%, 27.5%, 3.1%, and 3.05%, respectively. Among them, the increase in precipitation was the main contributor to the increase in the CCSF in China over the last 30 years, while the enhancement of ET offset part of the positive contribution of the increase in precipitation to the CCSF. In conclusion, the results of this study provide a systematic quantification of the magnitude, the patterns, and the influencing factors of CCS over a long time series in China. The results are of great significance and provide a reference for the diagnosis and gap analysis of the national and global carbon neutrality capacities.

文摘The importance of carbonate weathering carbon sinks(CCSs)is almost equal to that of vegetation photosynthesis in the global carbon cycle.However,CCSs have become controversial in formulating carbon neutral policies to deal with global climate problems in various countries,since the carbonate dissolution is reversible.In order to address these controversies,we reviewed recent advances in understanding CCSs and examined the outstanding controversies surrounding them.We have analyzed the five controversies,revealing the existence of CCSs,quantifying their magnitude,clarifying their spatiotemporal pattern,and documenting how they have increased and how they evolved under the background of global change.By addressing these five controversies,we help to bring clarity to the role of CCSs in the carbon cycle of global terrestrial ecosystems.
文摘中国是碳酸盐岩型喀斯特面积最大、分布最广的国家,在喀斯特地区居住着约2亿的人口,经济规模约占全国的10%.尤其是以贵州为中心的西南地区,位于长江和珠江的上游,经济欠发达,但却是国家的重要生态安全屏障.喀斯特地貌重要而特殊,科学诊断其生态系统的健康不仅对生态修复和实现可持续发展至关重要,更是制定应对方案的基本前提.尽管以往开展了大量的研究工作,但是依然缺乏系统性和整体性认识.本文结合前人研究,进一步将喀斯特地貌演化发育总结为6个阶段:成岩阶段、成陆阶段、成山阶段、成丛阶段、成林阶段和成原阶段.在此基础上,又从碳酸盐岩风化成土速率的计算、土壤水的诊断、水土流失的评价、石漠化解译与演变、生态系统服务的科学计量5个方面进行系统的总结和梳理.尽管不同时代、不同学者的不同研究方法,其结果有着非常大的差异.但是,综合考虑已有的研究结果及其使用方法的优点和不足,归纳发现:(1)碳酸盐岩化学风化很快(30~130 mm ka^(−1)),但由于其酸不溶物含量低(5%以内),导致其成土速率极其缓慢,一般在5~50 t km^(−2)a^(−1)之间.(2)土壤少且分布不连续,但是土壤含水量却比较高,在0.2~0.4 m^(3)m^(−3)之间,这可能与周边基岩的汇水效应相关,且未来呈干化趋势.(3)土壤侵蚀模数低,一般在2~200 t km^(−2)a^(−1)之间,但由于坡陡、降雨量大且与岩土突变接触,导致其侵蚀风险极大,并存在一定比例的地下漏失现象.(4)石漠化的演变可分为单变式、渐进式和返变式3种经典类型,但是通过决策树和人机交互的石漠化解译方法相对高效和精准.(5)喀斯特生态系统服务功能的评价模型要基于成土速率来进行修正水土保持功能和基于岩溶地质碳汇修正气候调节功能.当前诊断喀斯特生态系统健康的指标、方法和模型亟须改进和创新,要充分体现喀斯特地区的特殊性和模型方法的匹配性,提高监测数据的时空分辨率,特别是亟须建立喀斯特社会-生态系统耦合模型,准确刻画出喀斯特生态系统对气候变化和人类活动的响应过程,提升诊断模型的准确度和可预测性.总之,本文系统总结了诊断中国喀斯特生态系统健康与可持续性的方法和取得的重大进展,并进一步从“岩-土-水-石-生”的角度提出了未来的研究方向和突破重点,以期为维护喀斯特地区的生态安全和可持续发展提供科技支撑.

文摘With the development of modern sequencing techniques and bioinformatics, genomes that were once thought to be noncoding have been found to encode abundant functional micropeptides(miPs), a kind of small polypeptides. Although miPs are difficult to analyze and identify, a number of studies have begun to focus on them. More and more miPs have been revealed as essential for energy metabolism homeostasis, immune regulation, and tumor growth and development. Many reports have shown that miPs are especially essential for regulating glucose and lipid metabolism and regulating mitochondrial function.MiPs are also involved in the progression of related diseases. This paper reviews the sources and identification of miPs, as well as the functional significance of miPs for metabolism-related diseases, with the aim of revealing their potential clinical applications.

文摘Covalent organic frameworks(COFs)have been increasingly used in capillary electrochromatography due to their excellent characteristics.In this work,hydrazine-linked TFPB-DHzDS(TFPB:1,3,5-tris(4-formylphenyl)benzene;DHzDS:2,5-bis(3-(ethylthio)propoxy)terephthalohydrazide)was first synthesized by a simpler and easier method at room temperature and introduced into capillary electrochromatography as coating material.The TFPB-DHzDS coated capillaries were prepared by an in-situ growth process at room temperature.After optimizing the coating concentration and experimental conditions of capillary electrochromatography,baseline separation of two groups of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was achieved based on the TFPB-DHzDS coated capillary.And the established method was used successfully to determine PAHs in natural water and soil samples.The spiked recoveries of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in these samples ranged from 90.01%to 111.0%,indicating that the method is reliable and could detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in natural samples.Finally,molecular simulation was applied to study and visualize the interaction between the analytes and coating COF materials to investigate the molecular level separation mechanism further.

文摘A novel Ni doped carbon quantum dots(Ni-CQDs)fluorescence probe was synthesized by facile electrolysis of monoatomic Ni dispersed porous carbon(Ni–N–C).The obtained Ni-CQDs showed a high quantum yield of 6.3%with the strongest excitation and emission peaks of 360 nm and 460 nm,and maintained over 90%of the maximum fluorescence intensity in a wide p H range of 3–12.The metal ions detectability of Ni-CQDs was enhanced by Ni doping and functional groups modification,and the rapid and selective detection of Fe^(3+)and Cu^(2+)ions was achieved with Ni-CQDs through dynamic and static quenching mechanism,respectively.On one hand,the energy band gap of Ni-CQDs was regulated by Ni doping,so that excited electrons in Ni-CQDs were able to transfer to Fe^(3+)easily.On the other hand,the abundant functional groups promoted the generation of static quenching complexation between Cu^(2+)and Ni-CQDs.In metal ions detection,the linear quantitation range of Fe^(3+)and Cu^(2+)were 100–1000μM(R^(2)=0.9955)and 300–900μM(R^(2)=0.9978),respectively.The limits of detection(LOD)were calculated as 10.17 and 7.88μM,respectively.Moreover,the fluorescence quenched by Cu^(2+)could be recovered by EDTA2-due to the destruction of the static quenching complexation.In this way,NiCQDs showed the ability to identify the two metal ions to a certain degree under the condition of Fe^(3+)and Cu^(2+)coexistent.This work paves the way of facile multiple metal ion detection with high sensitivity.
