Late Mesozoic granites are extensively distributed in the Luanchuan district of eastern Qinling and can be divided into two types: Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous granites (ore-related plutons) and Late Cretaceous granites (Laojunshan batholith). This study presents new geochemical and zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopic data from the Shibaogou and Yuku plutons to provide robust constraints on the petrogenesis and tectonic significance of the late Mesozoic granites in the Luanchuan district. Zircon U-Pb dating results yielded weighted mean 206Pb/238U ages of 149.1 ± 0.8 Ma and 150.5 ± 0.8 Ma, which were interpreted as the crystallization ages of the Shibaogou and Yuku plutons, respectively. We propose that the late Mesozoic granites contain high concentrations of SiO2 and alkali elements (Na2O + K2O) and feature metaluminous to weakly peraluminous characteristics. Enrichment in light rare earth elements and large ion lithophile elements and depletion in high field strength elements are observed. Mineralogical and geochemical evidence reveal that the late Mesozoic granites are highly fractionated I-type granites with fractional crystallization of feldspar, plagioclase and accessory minerals (e.g., apatite and titanite or magnetite). Based on the Hf composition, we suggest that the parental magmas of the ore-related plutons were derived from remelting of the Taihua and Xiong’er groups with minor contributions of mantle-derived materials and that the Laojunshan batholith was generated by the hybridization of ancient crust- (Kuanping group) and mantle-derived components. Collectively, the above arguments indicates a tectonic transition from compression to post-collisional extension during the late Mesozoic, that was likely triggered by the continental collision of the North China Block and the Yangtze Block, which generated numerous contemporaneous granites and Mo-W-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au poly-metallic deposits.

Wang Fei,Luo Defan,Chen Jianxiang,Pan Cuiqing,Wang Zhongyao,Fu Housheng,Xu Jianbing,Yang Meng,Mo Shaowei,Zhuang Liying,Ye Liefu,Wang Weifu 대한남성과학회 2022 The World Journal of Men's Health Vol.40 No.2

Purpose: Genetic factors play an indispensable role in the pathogenesis of lifelong premature ejaculation (LPE). The suscep-tibility genes/SNPs that have been discovered are very limited and can only explain part of the genetic effects of LPE. There-fore, discovering more genetic polymorphisms associated with the occurrence and development of LPE will help reveal the pathogenesis of LPE. Materials Materials and and Methods:Methods: We conducted a genome-wide association study of LPE in 486 Chinese male Han people (cases and controls). We used Gene Titan multi-channel instrument and Axiom Analysis Suite 6.0 software for genotyping. Imputation was performed by IMPUTE2 software and the 1000 Genomes Project (Phase3) was used as reference for haplotype. Finally, logistic regression analysis was performed on all loci that passed the quality control. The odds ratio and 95% confidence in-terval were calculated to determine the association between each SNPs and Chinese male Han population LPE risk. Results:Results: The results showed that a total of 33 genetic variants in 13 genes (LACTBL1 , SSBP3 , ACOT11 , LINC02486 , TMEM154, LINC01098, NONE, HCG27, HLA-C, TNFSF8, TNC, FAM53B, SULF2) have a suggestively significant genome-wide association with LPE risk (p<5×10-6). Conclusions:Conclusions: This study is the first to conduct a GWAS on LPE in Chinese male Han population 33 genetic polymorphisms have a suggestive genome-wide association with LPE risk. This study have provided data supplement for the genetic loci of LPE risk, and laid a scientific foundation for the pathogenesis and the targeted therapy of LPE.

The effect of Zn(2+) on Pelodiscus sinensis creatine kinase: unfolding and aggregation studies.

Wang, Su-Fang,Lee, Jinhyuk,Wang, Wei,Si, Yue-Xiu,Li, Caiyan,Kim, Tae-Rae,Yang, Jun-Mo,Yin, Shang-Jun,Qian, Guo-Ying Adenine Press 2013 Journal of biomolecular structure & dynamics Vol.31 No.6

<P>We studied the effects of Zn(2+) on creatine kinase from the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis (PSCK). Zn(2+) inactivated the activity of PSCK (IC(50)?=?.079??.004?mM) following first-order kinetics consistent with multiple phases. The spectrofluorimetry results showed that Zn(2+) induced significant tertiary structural changes of PSCK with exposure to hydrophobic surfaces and that Zn(2+) directly induced PSCK aggregation. The addition of osmolytes such as glycine, proline, and liquaemin successfully blocked PSCK aggregation, recovering the conformation and activity of PSCK. We measured the ORF gene sequence of PSCK by rapid amplification of cDNA end and simulated the 3D structure of PSCK. The results of molecular dynamics simulations showed that eight Zn(2+) bind to PSCK and one Zn(2+) is predicted to bind in a plausible active site of creatine and ATP. The interaction of Zn(2+) with the active site could mostly block the activity of PSCK. Our study provides important insight into the action of Zn(2+) on PSCK as well as more insights into the PSCK folding and ligand-binding mechanisms, which could provide important insight into the metabolic enzymes of P. sinensis.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P><B>BACKGROUND:</B> An assessment was made of the toxicity of imperatorin and osthole identified in <I>Cnidium monnieri</I> fruit, 11 related compounds and five insecticides to larvae from insecticide‐susceptible <I>Culex pipiens pallens</I> (KS‐CP strain) and <I>Aedes aegypti</I> and wild <I>C</I>.<I>p</I>. <I>pallens</I> (YS‐CP colony) using a direct‐contact mortality bioassay.

Overall, all of the compounds were less toxic than temephos (0.011 and 0.019 mg L<SUP>−1</SUP>). The toxicity of these compounds was virtually identical against larvae from the two <I>Culex</I> strains, even though YS‐CP larvae were resistant to fenthion (resistance ratio RR = 390), deltamethrin (RR = 164), cyfluthrin (RR = 14) and temephos (RR = 14). This finding indicates that the coumarins and the insecticides do not share a common mode of action. The structure–activity relationship indicates that the chemical structure and alkoxy substitution and length of the alkoxyl side chain at the C8 position are essential for imparting toxicity.</P><P><B>CONCLUSION:</B> The <I>C. monnieri</I> fruit‐derived coumarins and the related coumarins described merit further study as potential insecticides or lead molecules for the control of insecticide‐resistant mosquito populations.

Do the demands of the global forces shape local agenda? An analysis of lifelong learning policies and practice in China

Mo Wang,Dayong Yuan,Maximilian Weidlich 서울대학교 교육연구소 2017 Asia Pacific Education Review Vol.18 No.2

Lifelong learning has become a global phenomenon that has significantly reshaped the conventional foundation of national education systems. Lifelong Learning has experienced an evolution that can be identified in two generations: it first emerged in the 1970s and then quickly gained significance and prevalence by the 1990s. There is general consensus that the rise and spread of the lifelong learning concept in the 1990s was propelled by an intensifying process of globalization, which has also greatly shaped the emphasis and agendas that are captured in the concept. Correspondingly, a dominant albeit disputed trend emerged in literature that portrays lifelong learning as serving the global knowledge economy. Based on a review of the discourse on the global forces that affect lifelong learning, this study explores how lifelong learning policies and practices in China are influenced by globalization. It finds that China has adopted broader agendas of lifelong learning than those required by the global forces. This study serves as a first step towards filling the current research gap: there is a lack of studies exploring lifelong learning policies and practices in East Asia, while most of the existing literature on the topic is focused on Western countries.

Background: The current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), transmitted person-to-person by the severe acute respiratory syndrome of coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), poses a threat to global public health. Objective: In this study, we performed the comprehensive analysis of the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire may contribute to a more in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Methods: A comprehensive immunological analysis was performed to explore the features of the TCR repertoire and identified TCR sequences correlated with SARS-CoV-2 viral antigens. Results: we analyzed the COVID-19 patients' TCR repertoires in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) which obtained before (baseline), during (acute), and after rehabilitation (convalescent) by ImmunoSEQ-technology, and found that repertoire features of TCRβ-chain (TCRβ) complementary-determining region 3 (CDR3) in COVID-19 patients were remarkable difference, including decreased TCR diversity, abnormal CDR3 length, difference of TRBV/J gene usage and higher TCR sequence overlap. Besides, we identified some COVID-19 disease-associated TCRβ clones, and the abundance of them changed with the progression of the disease. Importantly, these disease-associated TCRβ clones could be used to distinguish COVID-19 patients from healthy controls with high accuracy. Conclusions: We provide a clear understanding of the TCR repertoire of COVID-19 patients, which lays the foundation for better diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 patients.

4차 산업혁명에 대한 텍스타일 디자인의 대응 방안

한왕모 ( Wang Mo Han ) 한국디자인트렌드학회 2017 한국디자인포럼 Vol.57 No.-

연구배경 4차 산업혁명은 인간의 삶을 더욱 편리하게 만들어 줄 것에 틀림없지만, 그 핵심기술이 사회적 혼란을 야기할 수 있다는 문제점도 여러 미래학자와 연구자들에 의해 제기된 바 있다. 그러나 디자인 분야에서는 4차 산업혁명이 가져올 수 있는 위기에 대해 비평적 시각에서 접근한 연구는 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 텍스타일 디자인 분야를 중심으로 4차 산업혁명에 따른 변화에 적절하게 대응할 수 있는 방안을 탐구하여, 앞으로 디자인이 추구해야 할 가치와 방향성을 제시하고, 관련 연구의 필요성을 고취시키고자 한다. 연구방법 관련 선행연구와 보고서, 단행본 등을 중심으로 인공지능과 디자인의 관계를 고찰하여 텍스타일 디자인 분야의 인공지능 대체 가능성에 대해 진단한다. 이를 통해 4차 산업혁명이 초래할 수 있는 위기에 대한 대응 방안과 앞으로 추구해야 할 가치에 대해 논의한다. 연구결과 텍스타일 디자인의 인공지능 대체에 대해 미시적 관점에서는 인간의 심리와 감성에 연관된 디자인 개발, 인공지능이 수집할 수 없는 새로운 데이터의 개발, 거시적 관점에서는 근원적인 문제 해결을 위해 사회구성원 개개인의 인식변화가 대응 방안이 될 수 있다. 결론 4차 산업혁명 시대에는 기술 사용자의 올바른 의식이 중요시된다. 따라서 인간과 사회를 올바른 방향으로 인도할 수 있도록, 지속가능한 사회의 개념을 기반으로 하는 통합적 디자인 개념 구축과 활용에 대한 다양한 연구와 디자인 시도가 필요하다. Background The 4th industrial revolution will certainly make human life more convenient. However, there has been a problem raised by several futurologists and researchers that core technologies of it could possibly bring about social chaos. It is accordingly critical to study on possible and expected problems approaching negative aspects of this matter in the field of design. This study researches appropriate countermeasures that textile design can follow and proposes desirable value to be pursued. Methods Analysis on precedent studies, reports, and journals has been made to consider the correlation between artificial intelligence and design. It is to see if there is any probability to employ artificial intelligence as a substitute for textile designers and discuss how to deal with a predictable crisis caused by the 4th industrial revolution. Result When it comes to the threat from replacing designers’ work with artificial intelligence’s technique, the microscopic perspective says to create delicate design derived from human psychology and emotions and to develop entirely new motifs which cannot be collected by artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the macroscopic perspective advises each individual to bear in mind ethics and morality in order to redeem humanity pursuing public good. Conclusion The most important thing in the 4th industrial revolution era is right consciousness towards technology so that it can be used in a good way for society as well as humans. It is necessary to establish proper and integrated concept based on sustainability along with various design attempts, challenges, and in-depth studies.
