Here we report the genetic map construction of two Dendrobium species with a double pseudo-testcross strategy using random amplified polymorphic DNA （RAPD） and sequence-related amplified polymorphism （SRAP） markers. A F1 mapping population of 90 individuals was developed from a cross between D. officinale and D. hercoglossum. A total of 307 markers, including 209 RAPD and 98 SRAP, were identified and used for genetic linkage group （LG） analysis. The D. officinale linkage map consisted of 11 major linkage groups and 3 doublets, which covered 629.4 cM by a total of 62 markers with an average locus distance of 11.2 cM between two adjacent markers. The D. hercoglos- sum linkage map contained 112 markers mapped on 15 major and 4 minor linkage groups, spanning a total length of 1,304.6 cM with an average distance of I 1.6 cM between two adjacent markers. The maps constructed in this study covered 92.7% and 82.7% of the D. hercoglossum and D. officinale genomes respectively, providing an important basis for the mapping of horticultural and medicinal traits and for the application of marker-assisted selection in Dendrobium breeding program.展开更多

To identify risk factors of the doctor burn-out is vital to improving their health and increasing the quality of healthcare services. This study aims to explore the relationship between work-family confict （WFC） and burn-out among Chinese doctors and the mediating role of coping styles in this relationship.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in China, with a questionnaire packet which consisted of the Chinese Maslach Burnout Inventory （CMBI）, WFC Scale and the Simplifed Coping Style Questionnaire （SCSQ）. A total of 2530 doctors participated in the survey. Correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationship between CMBI, WFC and SCSQ scores. A linear regression model was set to determine the mediating role of coping styles on the relationship between WFC and burn-out.Results Doctors who had higher scores on work interfering with family confict, reported more emotional exhaustion （r=0.514, P〈0.001） and had a sense of accomplishment （r= 0.149, P〈0.001）. Simultaneously, family interfering with work （FIW） was positively associated with all dimensions of burn-out （r=0.213, 0.504, 0.088, respectively, P〈0.001）. Coping styles had partial, complete and even mediating effects on the relationship between WFC and burn-out among Chinese doctors.Conclusions WFC was correlated with burn-out, and coping style was a mediator in this relationship among Chinese doctors. Coping style was a positive resource against burn-out.展开更多

文摘During the development of hot dry rock,the research on thermal fatigue damage caused by thermal shock of cold and heat cycles is the basis that ensures the long-term utilization of geothermal resources,but there are not enough relevant studies at present.Based on this,the thermal damage tests of granite at different temperatures(250,350,450°C)and quenching cycles(1,5,10,15 cycles)were carried out.Preliminary reveals the damage mechanism and heat transfer law of the quenching cycle effect on hot dry rock.The results show that with the increase of temperature and cycles,the uneven thermal expansion of minerals and the thermal shock caused by quenching promote the crack development of granite,resulting in the decrease of P-wave velocity,thermal conductivity and uniaxial compressive strength of granite.Meanwhile,the COMSOL was used to simulate the heat transfer of hot dry rock under different heat treatment conditions.It concluded that the increase in the number of quenching cycles reduced the heat transfer capacity of the granite,especially more than 10 quenching cycles,which also reflects that the thermal fatigue damage leads to a longer time for the temperature recovery of the hot dry rock mass.In addition,the three-dimensional nonlinear fitting relationship among thermal conductivity,temperature and cycle number was established for the first time,which can better reveal the change rule of thermal conductivity after quenching thermal fatigue effect of hot dry rock.The research results provide theoretical support for hot dry rock reservoir reconstruction and production efficiency evaluation.

文摘Dendrobium plants are used commonly as tonic herbs and health food in many Asian countries, especially in China. Here we report the genetic map construction of two Dendrobium species with a double pseudo-testcross strategy using random amplified polymorphic DNA （RAPD） and sequence-related amplified polymorphism （SRAP） markers. A F1 mapping population of 90 individuals was developed from a cross between D. officinale and D. hercoglossum. A total of 307 markers, including 209 RAPD and 98 SRAP, were identified and used for genetic linkage group （LG） analysis. The D. officinale linkage map consisted of 11 major linkage groups and 3 doublets, which covered 629.4 cM by a total of 62 markers with an average locus distance of 11.2 cM between two adjacent markers. The D. hercoglos- sum linkage map contained 112 markers mapped on 15 major and 4 minor linkage groups, spanning a total length of 1,304.6 cM with an average distance of I 1.6 cM between two adjacent markers. The maps constructed in this study covered 92.7% and 82.7% of the D. hercoglossum and D. officinale genomes respectively, providing an important basis for the mapping of horticultural and medicinal traits and for the application of marker-assisted selection in Dendrobium breeding program.

文摘Background Burn-out among doctors threatens their own health, and that of their patients. To identify risk factors of the doctor burn-out is vital to improving their health and increasing the quality of healthcare services. This study aims to explore the relationship between work-family confict （WFC） and burn-out among Chinese doctors and the mediating role of coping styles in this relationship.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in China, with a questionnaire packet which consisted of the Chinese Maslach Burnout Inventory （CMBI）, WFC Scale and the Simplifed Coping Style Questionnaire （SCSQ）. A total of 2530 doctors participated in the survey. Correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationship between CMBI, WFC and SCSQ scores. A linear regression model was set to determine the mediating role of coping styles on the relationship between WFC and burn-out.Results Doctors who had higher scores on work interfering with family confict, reported more emotional exhaustion （r=0.514, P〈0.001） and had a sense of accomplishment （r= 0.149, P〈0.001）. Simultaneously, family interfering with work （FIW） was positively associated with all dimensions of burn-out （r=0.213, 0.504, 0.088, respectively, P〈0.001）. Coping styles had partial, complete and even mediating effects on the relationship between WFC and burn-out among Chinese doctors.Conclusions WFC was correlated with burn-out, and coping style was a mediator in this relationship among Chinese doctors. Coping style was a positive resource against burn-out.

文摘4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase(HPPD)is an important target for both drug and pesticide discovery.As a typical Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase,HPPD catalyzes the complicated transformation of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid(HPPA)to homogentisic acid(HGA).The binding mode of HPPA in the catalytic pocket of HPPD is a focus of research interests.Recently,we reported the crystal structure of Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD(At HPPD)complexed with HPPA and a cobalt ion,which was supposed to mimic the pre-reactive structure of At HPPD-HPPA-Fe(II).Unexpectedly,the present study shows that the restored At HPPD-HPPA-Fe(II)complex is still nonreactive toward the bound dioxygen.QM/MM and QM calculations reveal that the HPPA resists the electrophilic attacking of the bound dioxygen by the trim of its phenyl ring,and the residue Phe381 plays a key role in orienting the phenyl ring.Kinetic study on the F381 A mutant reveals that the HPPD-HPPA complex observed in the crystal structure should be an intermediate of the substrate transportation instead of the pre-reactive complex.More importantly,the binding mode of the HPPA in this complex is shared with several well-known HPPD inhibitors,suggesting that these inhibitors resist the association of dioxygen(and exert their inhibitory roles)in the same way as the HPPA.The present study provides insights into the inhibition mechanism of HPPD inhibitors.

文摘Development of high-performance solid state luminescent carbon-based nanomaterials remains challenging.Here,strong blue-green fluorescent carbonized polymer dots(CPDs)from o-aminobenzenethiol and thiosalicylic acid(o ABT-TSA-CPDs)with an absolute photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)of 76%in solid state without matrix were synthesized.Through adjusting the reaction temperature and time,the PL centers were proved to be carbon core state and surface state associated to carbonyl group which was the source of strong fluorescence emission in solid state.The mechanism of the unique phenomenon of enhanced emission from ethanol solution(PLQY=7%)to powder(PLQY=76%)was investigated by analyzing the chemical properties and structures of o ABT-TSA-CPDs at different temperatures and o ABT-TSACPDs/PVC composites,and was confirmed as fixation of PL centers.

文摘The dioxygen activation catalyzed by 4-hydorxylphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase(HPPD)were reinvestigated by using hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics(QM/MM)approaches at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p):AMBER level.These studies showed that this reaction consisted of two steps including the dioxygen addition/decarboxylation and hetero O-O bond cleavage,where the first step was found to be rate-determining.The former step initially runs on a septet potential energy surface(PES),then switches to a quintet PES after crossing a septet/quintet minimum energy crossing point(MECP)5-7M2,whereas the rest step runs on the quintet PES.The reliability of our theoretical predictions is supported by the excellent agreement of the calculated free-energy barrier value of 16.9 kcal/mol with available experimental value of 16-17 kcal/mol.The present study challenges the widely accepted view which holds that the O2activation catalyzed byα-keto glutamate(α-KG)dioxygenase mainly runs on the quintet PES and provides new insight into the catalytic mechanism ofα-KG dioxygenase and/or other related Fe(Ⅱ)-dependent oxygenase.
