| 2 | A large-sized basal ankylopollexian from East Asia, shedding light on early biogeographic history of Iguanodontia显示文摘A presumably mostly quadrupedal ankylopollexian iguanodontian, Bayannurosaurus perfectus gen. et sp.nov., is reported here, and is represented by an excellently well-preserved skeleton from the Lower Cretaceous Bayingebi Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. The diagnosis of the taxon includes several autapomorphies, notably a dorsally directed, strap-like posterodorsal process of the jugal and a horizontally oriented preacetabular process of the ilium. The nearly complete caudal series retains eight posterior-most caudals with procoelous, trapezoidal centra in dorsal view, and the last three caudals are fully fused. The discovery of B. perfectus opens a critical new window on the early evolution and intercontinental dispersal of Iguanodontia. The skeleton displays a transitional morphology between nonhadrosauriform ankylopollexians and Hadrosauriformes. A phylogenetic analysis indicates that Bayannurosaurus is positioned higher on the tree than Hypselospinus, but below Ouranosaurus just outside of Hadrosauriformes. The tree topology of Iguanodontia with temporal and spatial constraints reveals a possible biogeographic scenario supported by the statistical dispersal-vicariance analysis: around the J/K boundary, non-hadrosauriform ankylopollexians experienced multiple dispersal events from Europe to Asia, accompanying the coeval fall of the global sea level. | Xing Xu Qingwei Tan Yilong Gao Zhiqiang Bao Zhigang Yin Bin Guo Junyou Wang Lin Tan Yuguang Zhang Hai Xing | 2018 | Science Bulletin2018,63,9: | 0 |
| 3 | The ionome and proteome landscape of aging in laying hens and relation to egg white quality显示文摘The ionome is essential for maintaining body function and health status by participating in diverse key biological processes.Nevertheless, the distribution and utilization of ionome among different organs and how aging impacts the ionome leading to a decline in egg white quality remain unknown. Thus, we used inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) to analyze 35 elements and their isotopic contents in eight organs of laying hens at 35, 72, and 100 weeks. Moreover, the magnum proteome, amino acids in egg white, and egg white quality were analyzed in laying hens at three different ages using 4D proteomics techniques, an amino acid analyzer, and an egg quality analyzer. Across the organs, we identified varying distribution patterns among macroelements(Mg24, Ca43/44, K39, and P31), transition metals(Zn64/66, Cu63/65, Fe56/57, and Mn55), and toxic elements(Pb208, Ba137, and Sr86). We observed an organ-specific aging pattern characterized by the accumulation of toxic elements(Pb208, Ba137, and Sr86) and calcification in the small intestine. Additionally, a decrease in the utilization of essential trace elements selenium(Se78/82) and manganese(Mn55) was noted in the oviduct. By analyzing ionome in tandem with egg quality, egg white amino acids, and proteome, we unveiled that the reduction of selenium and manganese concentrations in the magnum during the aging process affected amino acid metabolism, particularly tryptophan metabolism, thereby inhibiting the amino acid synthesis in the magnum. Furthermore, it accelerated the senescence of magnum cells through necroptosis activation, leading to a decline in the albumen secretion function of the magnum and subsequently reducing egg white quality.Overall, this study provides insights into the evolution of 35 elements and their isotopes across 8 organs of laying hens with age.It also reveals the elemental composition, interactions, and utilization patterns of these organs, as well as their correlation with egg white quality. The present study highlights the significance of ionome and offers a comprehensive perspective on the selection of ionome for regulating the aging of laying hens. | Guang Li Yuqing Feng Jian Cui Qihang Hou Tanfang Li Meiting Jia Zhengtian lv Qiuyu Jiang Ying Wang Ming Zhang Lin Wang Zengpeng Lv Junyou Li Yuming Guo Bingkun Zhang | 2023 | Science China(Life Sciences)2023,66,9: | 0 |
| 4 | Improvement of synergistic effect photocatalytic/peroxymonosulfate activation for degradation of amoxicillin using carbon dots anchored on rod-like CoFe_(2)O_(4)显示文摘β-lactam antibiotics in aquatic environment have severely damaged ecological stability and caused a series of environmental pollution problems to be solved urgently.Herein,a novel composite photocatalyst prepared by loading carbon dots(CDs)onto rod-like CoFe_(2)O_(4)(CFO),which can effectively degrade amoxicillin(AMX)by photocata lytic/peroxy mono sulfate(PMS)activation under visible light irradiation.The degradation results exhibits that the optimal degradation efficiency with 97.5%within 80 min is achievd by the CDs-CFO-5 composite.Such enhanced activity is ascribed to the introduction of CDs that effectively improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron pairs and creates new active sites as electron bridges that improve the photocata lytic performance.More importantly,a strong synergistic between CDs and photo-induced electrons generated from CFO can further activiate PMS to provide more SO4-·and·OH radicals for boosting the degradation ability towards AMX.The present study aims to elucidate positive role of CDs in photocata lytic/peroxy monosulfate activation during the degradation reaction. | Weilong Shi Yanan Liu Wei Sun Yuanzhi Hong Xiangyu Li Xue Lin Feng Guo Junyou Shi | 2022 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2022,,12: | 0 |
