Favorable lithofacies and pore characteristics of the Permian Longtan Formation shale in the southern Sichuan Basin

The marine–continental transitional shale (MCTS) reservoirs of the Longtan Formation (LTF) are widely distributed in the Sichuan Basin. However, the LTF shale exhibits considerable variations in mineral composition and pore characteristics, which makes identifying the 'sweet spot'a challenging task. To address this issue, 10 samples from four typical shale gas wells in the LTF in the southern Sichuan Basin were selected and analyzed for total organic carbon (TOC) content, whole-rock composition using X-ray diffraction (XRD), low-pressure gas adsorption, and high-pressure mercury intrusion. The lithofacies distribution and pore structure of the MCTS were studied to determine the pore structural characteristics and the primary factors influencing pore formation in different types of shale lithofacies in the LTF. The lithofacies of the LTF shale in the study area can be classified into three categories: siliceous clay shale, clay shale and mixed shale. Mineral content has a significant impact on the pore characteristics, while TOC content has a minor effect on the pore volume and specific surface area of micropores and mesopores. It can be inferred that the mesopores in the MCTS are mainly related to clay mineral pores, and mineral dissolution and TOC content are not the primary factors contributing to pore formation.

ChuaN:要和B神一起拿冠军

当iG确定了最新阵容之后,他们再次被玩家们寄予厚望,拥有全明星阵容的他们在新的一年里将扛起中国DOTA的大旗。虽然业界一致看好iG的前景,但他们自己却非常低调。＂其实打职业这么久了,经历过辉煌也陷入过低谷,要说期待的话,我只希望能在2015年拿到自己想要的成绩,不给自己留下遗憾。＂在接受本刊记者专访时,ChuaN如是说。

Effects of Tai Chi Chuan training on cellular immunity in post-surgical non-small cell lung cancer survivors:A randomized pilot trial

Background： Although emerging evidence points to benefits from Tai Chi Chuan （TCC） in improving immune system function, its effects on cellular immune responses remain under-studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of TCC training on cellular immunity in non-small cell lung cancer patients. Methods： A 2-group randomized trial design in which post-surgical, non-small cell lung cancer survivors were randomly assigned to a TCC training group （n = 16） or a control group （n = 16）. The participants in the TCC group completed a 16-week intervention. The main immune response outcome measures assayed included the ratio of T-helper cells/T-suppressor cells （CD4＋：CD8＋ ratio） and complement regulatory proteins status （CRPs; CD55 and CD59）. Using repeated measures ANOVA, the data were analyzed for the participants who completed the study （n = 27）. Results： At 16 weeks, the TCC participants showed a significantly lower increment in the expression of CD55 （p 〈 0.05） as compared to the control group. No significant between-group differences were found in the CD4＋：CD8＋ ratio or CD59 expression. There were also no significant correlations among the changes in CRPs or T lymphocyte subpopulations, either. Conclusion： A 16-week TCC intervention caused no alterations in CD4＋：CD8＋ ratio, but significantly attenuated CD55 expression among post- surgical non-small cell lung cancer survivors.

Yunnanilus chuanheensis, a new loach species(Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae) from the upper Lixianjiang River in Yunnan, China

DEAR EDITOR,A new loach species(Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae:Yunnanilini), Yunnanilus chuanheensis sp. nov., was caught from Chuanhe in the upper reaches of the Lixianjiang River, a tributary of the Red River in Nanjian County, Yunnan Province, China. This species is a member of the traditional Y.pleurotaenia species group based on the presence of a lateral line and cephalic lateral-line canals.

Comparing the rhythm and frequency of heart,breathing and knee movement in Tai Chi Chuan

Background:The basic exercise involved in TCC is a series of individual movements that are linked together in a continuous manner and that flow smoothly from one movement to another.Deep breathing and mental concentration are also required to achieve harmony

Bymainly adopting this formula, the authorstreated 30 migraine cases on the basis ofsyndrome differentiation, the total effectiverate being 90%. Described below is a briefintroduction.

CiteSpace-Based Metrical and Visualization Analysis of Tai Chi Chuan Analgesia

Objective:The objective of the study was to explore the research status and hot topics that are most studied about in Tai Chi Chuan(TCC)analgesia through a metrical and visualization analysis of the literature and provide some references for the experimental research on the analgesic effect of TCC and its clinical applications.Methods:The literature on TCC analgesia was collected from the Web of Science database,and the metrical and visualization analysis was performed using the Cite Space.5.6.R4 software in terms of publication outputs,countries,institutions,keywords,highly cited articles,and highly cited journals.Results:The number of annual publications gradually increased over time.The five research groups presented stable cooperative relationships and more publications.The authors ranked as top 1 were from America rather than China,which has more publications.The most common keywords were Tai Chi,randomized controlled trial,older adults,exercise,pain,low back pain,quality of life,management,etc.The literature on knee osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia had the highest citation frequency.The journals with high citation frequency included Cochrane Database System Review,Pain,and Plos One.Conclusions:Increasing attention has been paid to TCC analgesia.Randomized controlled trials,older adults,low back pain,and quality of life were found to be most studied in this field.Investigating clinical efficacy and conducting meta-analyses could be a promising direction in the future.The international cooperation and literature quality of TCC analgesia should be further strengthened.

Gait, posture and transfer assessment among elderly practitioners and non-practitioners of Tai Chi Chuan

Falls may be devastating events among elderly people. Tai Chi Chuan is a type of moderate sports exercise that demonstrates improvements in balance, gait and posture. The aim here was to assess the influence of this method on the balance, gait and posture of healthy active elderly people. A controlled cross-sectional study was conducted on 76 volunteers, divided into two groups: 51 volunteers Tai Chi Chuan group mean age 76.8 years and 25 volunteers control group mean age 70.3 years. Both groups underwent the Modified Clinical Test on Sensory Interaction for Balance (mCTSIB), Walking Test (WT), Sit-to-Stand Transfer Test (SSTT) and Unipedal Assessment Test (UT), using the Neurocom Balance Master system. Result: In conditions Static balance tests: the mCTSIB-Tai-Chi Group had a lower sway velocity (°/s) on a firm surface with eyes open and medio-lateral direction, Foam Surface with eyes open medio-lateral and anteroposterior direction. Unilateral Stance Tai-Chi Group had a lower mean sway velocity (°/s) with open eyes (right and left), but with eyes closed. The Control Group showed a lower sway velocity. Under Dynamic Balance: Walk Across Test Tai-Chi Group presented a walking speed greater than the Control Group. In Sit to Stand Transfer Test, Tai-Chi Group showed a better index rising to lift up and lower oscillation in the final standing position. Conclusion: The Tai Chi Group was shown to be a protection factor for preserving and maintaining the static and dynamic positions of posture and gait.

Wang Chuan’s Abstract Painting: A Contemporary Expression of Chinese Zen Ink Painting

“Zen ink painting”is the art school formed under the confluence of the sectarian“Zen”and the Chinese traditional art form“ink painting”after Buddhism was introduced to China.It emphasizes the belief that Buddhism practitioners could reveal their inner feelings with the aid of ink painting,which was so popular that it not only flourished in China but also spread to and became prevalent in Japan,the Korean Peninsula,and the rest of East Asia.In contemporary times,Zen ink painting is being rejuvenated with new vitality by numerous artists,of whom Wang Chuan is a leading figure.With the method of qualitative research,we conducted an image analysis of Wang Chuan’s works in the 21st century and thoroughly analyzed the creative process and display of his artistic expressions to provide a glimpse of the contemporary form and inner logic of Chinese Zen ink art.
