The part of the residents with initially antibody positive as well as the part of residents with initially antibody negative have been followed up for 3 consecutive years by serology and clinical examination for studying kinetic changes of antibody to M.leprae and its relation with clinical disease. The results showed that the rates of subclinical infection of leprosy in a high endemic area are different from village to village, and the risk of developing clinical disease does not associate with subclinical infection rate. It correlates with the number of cured accumulative leprosy cases and active cases within the village. The authors consider that in leprosy high endemic villages, especially those cropped up new multi bacillary leprosy cases frequently in recent years, it may be helpful to use serology to detect early leprosy cases.展开更多

The Mashan Miao have adopted various measures for the conservation and effective utilization of the local ecological system and have made great achievements in this area. From the 1950s, their social environment has changed a lot due to political and economic movements. The rocky desertification in the Mashan area has gradually expanded. After the 1990s, relief work was carried out to address the desertification problem, but it was not very effective. We have been doing fieldwork in this area for more than 20 years and from our fieldwork records, we have found that the local Miao people have traditional ecological knowledge and skills that are of irreplaceable valuable for finding a solution for rocky desertification. Using the Miao knowledge we think a feasible way to control this disaster can be found.展开更多

These rocks are composed of amphibole-bearing two-pyroxene granulite and garnet-sillimanite gneiss with widespread migmatitization. We investigate three granulite-facies samples and one leucosome sample from the Qinling Complex, which are suitable for U-Pb analyses of zircon and monazite. SHRIMP and LA-ICPMS U-Pb age dating of zircon and monazite from two pelitic granulites provides weighted mean ages of 430±4 Ma(MSWD=0.88) and 433±4 Ma(MSWD=0.27), respectively.Based on the petrographic characteristics and zircon CL imagery, we postulated a ca. 430 Ma metamorphic timing for the pelitic granulites. LA-ICPMS zircon U-Pb data from an amphibole two-pyroxene granulite sample reports two weighted mean age groups:424±3 Ma(MSWD=0.45) and 402±3 Ma(MSWD=1.4), which were interpreted as granulite-facies metamorphic and retrograde ages, respectively. LA-ICPMS U-Pb dating of zircons from the leucosome sample yields a weighted mean age of 426±2 Ma(MSWD=0.3), which is interpreted as the crystallization age of the leucosome. These data indicate that the West QOB experienced early Paleozoic granulite-facies metamorphism and anatexis similar to the East QOB. However, it remains unclear whether the early Paleozoic granulite facies metamorphism resulted from an arc setting created by the northward subduction of the Shangdan ocean or from a continental collisional orogenic event.展开更多

Experiments were conducted at 800- 1200~C, in the pressure range of 2.0-3.5 GPa. One of the most intriguing results shows that the low pressure boundary of the jadeite＋coesite stability field is located between about 3.2 GPa at 1000~C and 3.4 GPa at 1200~C, thus about （0.2-0.3）_＋0.1 GPa higher than the quartz-coesite transition curve, given the uncertainty in the present study. Minor amounts of sodium and aluminum entering the structure of quartz and the intimate intergrowth texture of the run products may contribute to the ob- served pressure shift.

During prograde metamorphism albite breaks down to form jadeite＋quartz and thus at this stage two types of quartz can be distinguished whereas type-I-quartz already existed in the pro- tolith, type-II-quartz represents a newly formed reaction product of albite. During further P-T-increase the pure type- I-quartz was transformed to coesite, whereas type-II-quartz （together with jadeite） was still present as a stable phase because of its im- purities of Na and A1. At a later stage during further subduction, type-II-quartz also decomposes to form coesite. These studies represent an important puzzlement for a better understanding of the evolution of jadeite- quartzite from the Dabie Mountain during continental crust subduction and thus contribute to a more complete knowledge of the formation of the Dabie Mountain UHP orogenic belt in general.展开更多
