Generally, rearranged hopanes are considered to be formed by clay- mediated acidic catalysis under oxic or suboxic environment, whereas high abundance of rearranged hopanes were found in hydrocarbon source rocks and crude oils that are derived from salty environment in the Songliao Basin. This phenomenon rarely happens all over the world.展开更多

The Kuqa depression, a secondary structural unit within the northem Tarim Basin, is composed of Mesozoic and Cenozoic clastic sedimentary rocks dominated by continental oil. Previous research suggests that the crude oils especially condensates in the Kuqa depression are rich in abnormally high abundant rearranged hopanes. On the basis of 41 condensate samples and five oil samples from the Kuqa depression, this work systematically discussed the relationship between biomarker parameters and rearranged hopanes and deeply investigated the influence of depositional environment, original source,展开更多

Here,the emission intensity of(C_(12)H_(24)O_(6))_(2)Na_(2)(H_(2)O)_(3)Cu_(4)I_(6) was strengthened between 9.3 GPa and 17.2 GPa, accompanied by the redshift of emission wavelength. The photoluminescence(PL) of Cu(Ⅰ)-based organometallic halides originates from multiple emission states, which are a metal-to-ligand charge transfer or a halide-to-ligand charge transfer(MLCT/HLCT)excited state and a cluster-centered(CC) excited state. MLCT/HLCT-related emission wavelength redshifts while CCrelated emission wavelength remains unchanged, indicating that the rearrangement of different emission states plays a critical role in the changes of luminescence wavelength. This study not only deepens the understanding of the influence of high pressure on(C_(12)H_(24)O_(6))_(2)Na_(2)(H_(2)O)_(3)Cu_(4)I_(6), but also provides valuable insights into the structure–property relationship of zero-dimensional Cu(Ⅰ)-based organometallic halides.展开更多

文摘Chromosomal rearrangements(CRs)often cause phenotypic variations.Although several major rearrangements have been identified in Triticeae,a comprehensive study of the order,timing,and breakpoints of CRs has not been conducted.Here,we reconstruct high-quality ancestral genomes for the most recent common ancestor(MRCA)of the Triticeae,and the MRCA of the wheat lineage(Triticum and Aegilops).The protogenes of MRCA of the Triticeae and the wheat lineage are 22,894 and 29,060,respectively,which were arranged in their ancestral order.By partitioning modern Triticeae chromosomes into sets of syntenic regions and linking each to the corresponding protochromosomes,we revisit the rye chromosome structural evolution and propose alternative evolutionary routes.The previously identified 4L/5L reciprocal translocation in rye and Triticum urartu is found to have occurred independently and is unlikely to be the result of chromosomal introgression following distant hybridization.We also clarify that the 4AL/7BS translocation in tetraploid wheat was a bidirectional rather than unidirectional translocation event.Lastly,we identify several breakpoints in protochromosomes that independently reoccur following Triticeae evolution,representing potential CR hotspots.This study demonstrates that these reconstructed ancestral genomes can serve as special comparative references and facilitate a better understanding of the evolution of structural rearrangements in Triticeae.

文摘Low-dimensional hybrid metal halides exhibit broadband emission and high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY), making them promising candidates for the next-generation luminescent materials in lighting applications. Here,the emission intensity of(C_(12)H_(24)O_(6))_(2)Na_(2)(H_(2)O)_(3)Cu_(4)I_(6) was strengthened between 9.3 GPa and 17.2 GPa, accompanied by the redshift of emission wavelength. The photoluminescence(PL) of Cu(Ⅰ)-based organometallic halides originates from multiple emission states, which are a metal-to-ligand charge transfer or a halide-to-ligand charge transfer(MLCT/HLCT)excited state and a cluster-centered(CC) excited state. MLCT/HLCT-related emission wavelength redshifts while CCrelated emission wavelength remains unchanged, indicating that the rearrangement of different emission states plays a critical role in the changes of luminescence wavelength. This study not only deepens the understanding of the influence of high pressure on(C_(12)H_(24)O_(6))_(2)Na_(2)(H_(2)O)_(3)Cu_(4)I_(6), but also provides valuable insights into the structure–property relationship of zero-dimensional Cu(Ⅰ)-based organometallic halides.

文摘Mitogenomes have been widely used in phylogenetic and taxonomic research,due to their maternal inheritance,accelerated evolutionary rates,compact circular structure,and the absence of introns.Although their utility is well-established,efficient mitogenome sequencing still poses a challenge for evolutionary studies.Here,we presented a novel hybridization capture protocol that enables high-fidelity sequencing of the complete mitogenome(16535 bp)of Odorrana nasuta.This genome exhibits typical anuran characteristics,including an A+T nucleotide bias(56.37%)and conserved gene composition.Notably,we identified a lineage-specific trnH transposition event that reorganizes the typical gene order into a unique trnH-trnL1-trnT-trnP-trnF cluster,which may be a potential synapomorphic trait for the genus Odorrana.Phylogenetic reconstruction using 13 protein-coding genes from 59 anuran species strongly supported the monophyly of Ranidae and its constituent genera(Odorrana,Rana,Lithobates,Amolops,Pelophylax,Glandirana),yet reveals the incongruence in the placement of Hylarana.The conflicting topologies observed for Hylarana and Glandirana across different studies highlight critical methodological limitations,including taxonomic sampling biases and data type dependency,which collectively compromise phylogenetic resolution.By integrating mitogenomic structure signatures with sequence-based phylogenies,this work advances our understanding of the systematics within Odorrana and highlights the need of multi-locus genomic datasets for resolving deep phylogenetic conflicts within Ranidae.

文摘Interface modulation is an important pathway for highly efficient electromagnetic wave absorption.Herein,tailored interfaces between Fe_(3)O_(4)particles and the hexagonal-YFeO_(3)(h-YFeO_(3))framework were constructed via facile self-assembly.The resulting interfa-cial electron rearrangement at the heterojunction led to enhanced dielectric and magnetic loss synergy.Experimental results and density function theory(DFT)simulations demonstrate a transition in electrical properties from a half-metallic monophase to metallic Fe_(3)O_(4)/h-YFeO_(3)composites,emphasizing the advantages of the formed heterointerface.The transformation of electron behavior is also accompan-ied by a redistribution of electrons at the Fe_(3)O_(4)/h-YFeO_(3)heterojunction,leading to the accumulation of localized electrons around the Y-O-Fe band bridge,consequently enhancing the polarization.A minimum reflection loss of-34.0 dB can be achieved at 12.0 GHz and 2.0 mm thickness with an effective bandwidth of 3.3 GHz due to the abundant interfaces,enhanced polarization,and rational impedance.Thus,the synergistic effects endow the Fe_(3)O_(4)/h-YFeO_(3)composites with high performance and tunable functional properties for efficient electromagnetic absorption.

文摘A visible light-promoted fast photochemical Wolff rearrangement was developed toward synthesis ofα-substituted amides in continuous flow with the use of a photochemical oscillatory flow reactor(POFR).The control experiment indicates that a fast process of the Wolff rearrangement(<40 s)is involved.Notably,this protocol does not require excess use of any reactants,and the resultingα-substituted amides could be isolated by recrystallization in good to excellent yields.
文摘BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs)are generally characterized by driver mutations in KIT or PDGFRA.However,the molecular landscape of wild-type GISTs remains complex,posing significant therapeutic challenges.Recent evidence has indicated alterations in FGFR2 as potential oncogenic drivers in patients with various cancers.However,the role of these drivers in GIST pathogenesis remains underexplored.CASE SUMMARY We retrospectively evaluated two patients with GIST,diagnosed between August 2021 and July 2022,harboring FGFR2 mutations through hybrid capture-based next-generation sequencing(NGS).We analyzed their clinicopathological characteristics,treatment response,and long-term follow-up data.Both patients,a 47-year-old man(case 1)and a 43-year-old woman(case 2),underwent successful surgical resection and received adjuvant imatinib therapy.They achieved sustained remission with a median follow-up of 28 months.Notably,the NGS revealed novel FGFR2 rearrangements,an FGFR2-CIT/intergenic-FGFR2 fusion in case 1 and FGFR2-CAMK2G/FGFR2-VCL fusions in case 2 without canonical KIT or PDGFRA mutations.Both patients exhibited a favorable response to standard imatinib treatment.CONCLUSION Our findings provided preliminary evidence that novel FGFR2 fusions might act as primary oncogenic drivers in a rare subset of KIT/PDGFRA wild-type GISTs.These cases highlight the importance for comprehensive genomic profiling and suggest that fibroblast growth factor receptor-targeted inhibitors could be a potential therapeutic strategy for advanced or imatinib-resistant diseases,warranting further investigation in larger cohorts.
