| 1 | Altitudinal changes of surface pollen and vegetation on the north slope of the Middle Tianshan Mountains,China显示文摘To provide information on vegetation patterns and altitudinal distributions of pollen assemblage in surface soil layers,their complicated relationships in a dryland mountain-basin system in northwestern China and a realistic basis for paleovegetational reconstruction,we investigated 86 vegetation quadrats and analyzed 80 soil samples from the surface soil layers along an altitudinal transect on the north slope of the Middle Tianshan Mountains from alpine cushion vegetation at 3,510 m near glacier to desert vegetation at 460 m in the Gurbantunggut Desert.According to surface pollen assemblages and the results of the detrended correspondence analysis,the transect can be divided into six major altitudinal pollen zones as alpine cushion vegetation,alpine and subalpine meadows,montane Picea forest,forest-steppe ecotone,Artemisia desert and typical desert,which basically reflect the characteristics of the mountainous vegetation patterns on the north slope of the Middle Tianshan Mountains.However,Picea pollen also exists outside the spruce forest,Chenopodiaceae and Artemisia pollen appeared above the elevation of 1,300 m,indicating that most of them might be introduced from lower elevations by upslope winds.Airborne pollen researches from three regions at different elevations further suggest that a high-frequency northwest anabatic wind has a remarkable influence on the transportation and dispersion of surface pollen in the area. | YANG Zhenjing ZHANG Yun REN Haibao YAN Shun KONG Zhaochen MA Keping NI Jian | 2016 | Journal of Arid Land2016,8,5: | 17 |
| 2 | Epidemiological Survey of Hemoglobinopathies Based on Next-Generation Sequencing Platform in Hunan Province,China显示文摘Objective This study was aimed at investigating the carrier rate of,and molecular variation in,α-andβ-globin gene mutations in Hunan Province.Methods We recruited 25,946 individuals attending premarital screening from 42 districts and counties in all 14 cities of Hunan Province.Hematological screening was performed,and molecular parameters were assessed.Results The overall carrier rate of thalassemia was 7.1%,including 4.83%forα-thalassemia,2.15%forβ-thalassemia,and 0.12%for bothα-andβ-thalassemia.The highest carrier rate of thalassemia was in Yongzhou(14.57%).The most abundant genotype ofα-thalassemia andβ-thalassemia was-α^(3.7)/αα(50.23%)andβ^(IVS-Ⅱ-654)/β^(N)(28.23%),respectively.Fourα-globin mutations[CD108(ACC>AAC),CAP+29(G>C),Hb Agrinio and Hb Cervantes]and sixβ-globin mutations[CAP+8(C>T),IVS-Ⅱ-848(C>T),-56(G>C),beta nt-77(G>C),codon 20/21(-TGGA)and Hb Knossos]had not previously been identified in China.Furthermore,this study provides the first report of the carrier rates of abnormal hemoglobin variants andα-globin triplication in Hunan Province,which were 0.49%and 1.99%,respectively.Conclusion Our study demonstrates the high complexity and diversity of thalassemia gene mutations in the Hunan population.The results should facilitate genetic counselling and the prevention of severe thalassemia in this region. | XI Hui LIU Qin XIE Dong Hua ZHOU Xu TANG Wang Lan TANG De Guo ZENG Chun Yan WANG Qiong NIE Xing Hui PENG Jin Ping GAO Xiao Ya WU Hong Liang ZHANG Hao Qing QIU Li FENG Zong Hui WANG Shu Yuan ZHOU Shu Xiang HE Jun ZHOU Shi Hao ZHOU Fa Qun ZHENG Jun Qing WANG Shun Yao CHEN Shi Ping ZHENG Zhi Fen MA Xiao Yuan FANG Jun Qun LIANG Chang Biao WANG Hua | 2023 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2023,36,2: | 1 |
| 4 | Rapid screening of Zr-containing particles from Chang’e-5 lunar soil samples for isotope geochronology:Technical roadmap for future study显示文摘New samples returned by China Chang’e-5(CE-5)mission offer an opportunity for studying the lunar geologic longevity,space weathering,and regolith evolution.The age determination of the CE-5 samples was among the first scientific questions to be answered.However,the precious samples,most in the micrometer size range,challenge many traditional analyses on large single crystals of zircon developed for massive bulk samples.Here,we developed a non-destructive rapid screening of individual zirconium-containing particle for isotope geochronology based on a Micro X-ray fluorescence analysis(μXRF).The selected particles were verified via scanning electron microscopy(SEM),3D X-ray microscopy(XRM),and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy(FIB-SEM)techniques,which showed that zirconium-bearing minerals with several microns were precisely positioned and readily suitable for site-specific isotopic dating by second ion mass spectrometry(SIMS).Such protocol could be also appli-cable in non-destructively screening other types of particles for different scientific purposes.We there-fore proposed a correlative workflow for comprehensively studying the CE-5 lunar samples from single particles on nanometer to atomic scales.Linking various microscopic and spectromicroscopic instru-ments together,this workflow consists of six steps:(1)single-particle selection with non-destructive μXRF technique,(2)2D/3D morphological and structural characterization with a correlative submicron 3D XRM and nanoscale resolution FIB-SEM imaging methods,(3)SEM analysis of the surface morphology and chemistry of the selected particle,(4)a series of microscopic and microbeam analyses(e.g.,SEM,electron probe microanalysis,and SIMS)on the cross-section of the selected particle to obtain structural,mineralogical,chemical,and isotopic features from the micron to nanometer scale,(5)advanced 2D/3D characterization and site-specific sample preparation of thin foil/tip specimens on a microregion of inter-est in the selected particle with FIB-SEM technique,and(6)comprehensive analyses on the FIB-milled specimens at nanometer to atomic scale with synchrotron-based scanning transmission X-ray micro-scopy,analytic transmission electron microscopy,and atom probe tomography.Following this technical roadmap,one can integrate multiple modalities into a uniform frame of multimodal and multiscale cor-related datasets to acquire high-throughput information on the limited or precious terrestrial and extraterrestrial samples. | Jin-Hua Li Qiu-Li Li Liang Zhao Jin-Hai Zhang Xu Tang Li-Xin Gu Qian Guo Hong-Xia Ma Qin Zhou Yan Liu Pei-Yu Liu Hao Qiu Gang Li Lin Gu Shun Guo Chun-Lai Li Xian-Hua Li Fu-Yuan Wu Yong-Xin Pan | 2022 | Geoscience Frontiers2022,13,3: | 1 |
