The ore bodies are strictly confined to the footwalls of mafor high-angle normal faults which transect the inclined folds in the flank;away from the fault planes,both the homogenization temperatures of inclusions in gangue minerals and the intensity of antimony mineralization decrease.These characteristics strongly demonstrate that the faults are used as the conduit for the metal-bearing fluid in mineralization.The normal faults,striking the NE to NNE,are interpreted to be generated by the postmgenic extension in the time from Cretaceous to Paleogene.Crustal or lithospheric thinning, directly resulting from regional extension inevitably increase the geothermal gradient, Which is likely to cause large-scale convection of underground water that may leach out and transport valuablemetals such as Sb from source rocks.Focussed discharge along the fault zones contributes to the formation of the supergiant antimony deposit in Xikuangshan under the appropriate sedimentary barrier.展开更多

The Hongqiling complex comprises pyroxenite, olivine websterite, lberzolite, gabbro and leucogabbro. Based on the latest geochronological results, these intrusions yield a zircon U-Pb age of about 216 Ma, implying that they emplaced in the late Triassic period and that the mafic-uitramafic complexes are post-orogenic in origin. These ages are coeval with the emplacement of A-type granites in the area, but slightly younger than syn-orogenic granitic magmatism. The composition of the parent magma during the equilibration of the accumulated olivine crystallizing is basaltic with high MgO, and it comes from depleted or juvenile lithospheric mantle, according to the results of trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopes. Amount of crustal material contaminated the magmatic source, implying that the mafic-uitramafic rocks originate from the mixing product of crust- and mantle-derived magma. Therefore, the magmatic source was contaminated by an amount of crustal material, and the subsequent crystal fractionation resulted in the Cu-Ni mineralization. Dynamic analyses indicate that, after the collision of the North China Craton and Jiamusi Massif, the lithospheric delamination during post-orogeny resulted in the upwelling of asthenosphere and the intruding of the mass and underplating of the mantle-derived magma, which led to the formation of the primary mafic-uitramafic magma due to the mantle-derived magma and partial melting of the lower crust. This result suggests that the mafic-uitramafic complexes belong to a typically important magmatic suite that evolved during post-orogenic processes, and they were exposed as maficultramafic dyke swarms that existed in the post-orogenic extension environment. It also implies that the orogenic process finished ultimately in this regional geological setting. The widespread occurrence of mafic-uitramafic complexes in the Xing＇an-Mongolia Orogenic Belt in NE China and in the Altay-Tianshan-Junggar Orogenic Belt in Northern Xinjiang indicates that mafic intrusions are an important magmatic suite that evolved during post-orogenic processes. Portions of this mafic magma could have underplated the lower crust, and served as a heat source for associated late-stage granitic magmas.展开更多

文摘Lamprophyre dykes that crosscut different types of ultrahigh pressure(UHP)metamorphic rocks are widely distributed in the Triassic Sulu UHP orogenic belt.Although abundant studies have been performed on these dykes,their origin and petrogenesis remain topics of controversy.This study presents the results of a detailed field-based study of petrology,whole-rock geochemistry and zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopes on lamprophyre dykes exposed in the central Sulu UHP zone,aiming at shedding lights on their petrogenesis and providing clues on the geological evolution of eastern continental China during the Cretaceous.The lamprophyres are typically porphyritic,with phenocrysts dominantly composed of amphibole and clinopyroxene set in a lamprophyric matrix.The dykes have moderate Si O2(47.70 wt.%–60.44 wt.%),variably high Mg O(2.58 wt.%–8.28 wt.%)and Fe2 O3 T(4.88 wt.%–9.26 wt.%)contents with high Mg#of 49–66.Geochemically,they have enriched light rare earth element(REE)and flat heavy REE patterns((La/Gd)N=5.14–10.56;(Dy/Yb)N=1.43–1.54)with negligible Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu*=0.83–1.10),and they show enrichment in large ion lithophile elements(e.g.,Ba and K)but depletion in high-field strength elements(e.g.,Nb,Ti and P).In-situ zircon U-Pb geochronology reveals that the lamprophyres have concordant ages of 120–115 Ma,demonstrating that the dykes emplaced in the Early Cretaceous.These zircons have?Hf(t)values ranging from-26.0 to-11.0.Inherited zircons that occur in the dykes are dated to be Neoproterozoic,in line with the protolith ages of their host(i.e.,the UHP rocks).An integration of these data allows us to propose that the lamprophyres were generated during the Cretaceous,by melting of subcontinental lithospheric mantle-derived metasomatite with enriched chemical compositions underneath the North China Craton.The metasomatite was formed mainly by peridotite-fluid/melt reactions,with the fluids/melts mainly liberated from subducted Yangtze continental crust during the Triassic.Regional extension,lithospheric thinning and mantle upwelling caused by rollback of the subducted paleoPacific plate is considered to account for the generation of the lamprophyres as well as the extensive arc-like magmatic rocks in eastern continental China during the Early Cretaceous.

文摘BACKGROUND Type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus(T2DM)has been associated with increased risk of colon cancer(CC)and worse prognosis in patients with metastases.The effects of T2DM on postoperative chemoresistance rate(CRR)and long-term disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS)in patients with stage Ⅲ CC who receive curative resection remain controversial.AIM To investigate whether T2DM or glycemic control is associated with worse postoperative survival outcomes in stage Ⅲ CC.METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 278 patients aged 40-75 years who underwent surgery for stage Ⅲ CC from 2018 to 2021.Based on preoperative T2DM history,the patients were categorized into non-DM(n=160)and DM groups(n=118).The latter was further divided into well-controlled(n=73)and poorly controlled(n=45)groups depending on the status of glycemic control.DFS,OS,and CRR were compared between the groups and Cox regression analysis was used to identify risk factors.RESULTS Patients in the DM and non-DM groups demonstrated similar DFS,OS,and CRR(DFS:72.03%vs 78.75%,P=0.178;OS:81.36%vs 83.12%,P=0.638;CRR:14.41%vs 7.5%,P=0.063).Poorly controlled DM was associated with a significantly worse prognosis and higher CRR than well-controlled DM(DFS:62.22%vs 78.07%,P=0.021;OS:71.11%vs 87.67%,P=0.011;CRR:24.40%vs 8.22%,P=0.015).High preoperative fasting plasma glucose[DFS:Hazard ratio(HR)=2.684,P<0.001;OS:HR=2.105,P=0.019;CRR:HR=2.214,P=0.005]and glycosylated hemoglobin levels(DFS:HR=2.344,P=0.006;OS:HR=2.119,P=0.021;CRR:HR=2.449,P=0.009)indicated significantly poor prognosis and high CRR,while T2DM history did not(DFS:HR=1.178,P=0.327;OS:HR=0.933,P=0.739;CRR:HR=0.997,P=0.581).CONCLUSION Increased preoperative fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels,but not T2DM history,were identified as risk factors associated with poor postoperative outcomes and high CRR in patients with stage Ⅲ CC.
文摘The Xikuangshan antimony deposit in central Hunan, South China, is the largest antimony deposit ever known in the world. The ore bodies are strictly confined to the footwalls of mafor high-angle normal faults which transect the inclined folds in the flank;away from the fault planes,both the homogenization temperatures of inclusions in gangue minerals and the intensity of antimony mineralization decrease.These characteristics strongly demonstrate that the faults are used as the conduit for the metal-bearing fluid in mineralization.The normal faults,striking the NE to NNE,are interpreted to be generated by the postmgenic extension in the time from Cretaceous to Paleogene.Crustal or lithospheric thinning, directly resulting from regional extension inevitably increase the geothermal gradient, Which is likely to cause large-scale convection of underground water that may leach out and transport valuablemetals such as Sb from source rocks.Focussed discharge along the fault zones contributes to the formation of the supergiant antimony deposit in Xikuangshan under the appropriate sedimentary barrier.

文摘Mafic-uitramafic complexes are widespread in Hongqiling in central Jiulin Province, NE China. The Hongqiling complex comprises pyroxenite, olivine websterite, lberzolite, gabbro and leucogabbro. Based on the latest geochronological results, these intrusions yield a zircon U-Pb age of about 216 Ma, implying that they emplaced in the late Triassic period and that the mafic-uitramafic complexes are post-orogenic in origin. These ages are coeval with the emplacement of A-type granites in the area, but slightly younger than syn-orogenic granitic magmatism. The composition of the parent magma during the equilibration of the accumulated olivine crystallizing is basaltic with high MgO, and it comes from depleted or juvenile lithospheric mantle, according to the results of trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopes. Amount of crustal material contaminated the magmatic source, implying that the mafic-uitramafic rocks originate from the mixing product of crust- and mantle-derived magma. Therefore, the magmatic source was contaminated by an amount of crustal material, and the subsequent crystal fractionation resulted in the Cu-Ni mineralization. Dynamic analyses indicate that, after the collision of the North China Craton and Jiamusi Massif, the lithospheric delamination during post-orogeny resulted in the upwelling of asthenosphere and the intruding of the mass and underplating of the mantle-derived magma, which led to the formation of the primary mafic-uitramafic magma due to the mantle-derived magma and partial melting of the lower crust. This result suggests that the mafic-uitramafic complexes belong to a typically important magmatic suite that evolved during post-orogenic processes, and they were exposed as maficultramafic dyke swarms that existed in the post-orogenic extension environment. It also implies that the orogenic process finished ultimately in this regional geological setting. The widespread occurrence of mafic-uitramafic complexes in the Xing＇an-Mongolia Orogenic Belt in NE China and in the Altay-Tianshan-Junggar Orogenic Belt in Northern Xinjiang indicates that mafic intrusions are an important magmatic suite that evolved during post-orogenic processes. Portions of this mafic magma could have underplated the lower crust, and served as a heat source for associated late-stage granitic magmas.

文摘Osteoporosis represents a prevalent and debilitating comorbidity in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),which is characterized by suppressed osteoblast function and disrupted bone microarchitecture.In this study,we utilized male C57BL/6 J mice to investigate the role of SIRT3 in T2DM.Decreased SIRT3 expression and impaired mitochondrial quality control mechanism are observed in both in vitro and in vivo models of T2DM.Mechanistically,SIRT3 suppression results in hyperacetylation of FOXO3,hindering the activation of the PINK1/PRKN mediated mitophagy pathway and resulting in accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria.Genetical overexpression or pharmacological activation of SIRT3 restores deacetylation status of FOXO3,thus facilitating mitophagy and ameliorating osteogenic impairment in T2DM.Collectively,our findings highlight the fundamental regulatory function of SIRT3 in mitochondrial quality control,crucial for maintaining bone homeostasis in T2DM.These insights not only enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying diabetic osteoporosis but also identify SIRT3 as a promising therapeutic target for diabetic osteoporosis.

文摘Objective This study aimed to investigate the impact of glycemic control and diabetes duration on subsequent myocardial infarction(MI)in patients with both coronary heart disease(CHD)and type 2 diabetes(T2D).Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 33,238 patients with both CHD and T2D in Shenzhen,China.Patients were categorized into 6 groups based on baseline fasting plasma glucose(FPG)levels and diabetes duration(from the date of diabetes diagnosis to the baseline date)to examine their combined effects on subsequent MI.Cox proportional hazards regression models were used,with further stratification by age,sex,and comorbidities to assess potential interactions.Results Over a median follow-up of 2.4 years,2,110 patients experienced MI.Compared to those with optimal glycemic control(FPG<6.1 mmol/L)and shorter diabetes duration(<10 years),the fullyadjusted hazard ratio(HR)(95%Confidence Interval[95%CI])for those with a diabetes duration of≥10 years and FPG>8.0 mmol/L was 1.93(95%CI:1.59,2.36).The combined effects of FPG and diabetes duration on MI were largely similar across different age,sex,and comorbidity groups,although the excess risk of MI associated with long-term diabetes appeared to be more pronounced among those with atrial fibrillation.Conclusion Our study indicates that glycemic control and diabetes duration significant influence the subsequent occurrence of MI in patients with both CHD and T2D.Tailored management strategies emphasizing strict glycemic control may be particularly beneficial for patients with longer diabetes duration and atrial fibrillation.

文摘Globally,hyperuricemia is a growing health,social,and economic problem which could cause gout,chronic kidney diseases and other diseases.There are increasing evidences that a sensible diet makes sense to reduce the risk of hyperuricemia.This review aims to explore the metabolic mechanism of dietary factors and effects of dietary types associated with hyperuricemia.Recommendations for dietary modification to prevent hyperuricemia are as following:decreasing intake of animal organs,seafood,sugar-sweetened,and alcohol beverages is essential;choosing water or unsweetened tea and coffee instead of sweetened beverages is beneficial;and increasing intake of vegetables,reduced-fat dairy products,foods containing fiber,micronutrients and unsaturated fatty acids is helpful.In addition,consumption of fruits and legumes in moderation is advantageous,and low-fructose of fruits and low-purine of non-soy beans are recommended.Moreover,personalized diet needs to be emphasized for hyperuricemic patients accompanied with diverse metabolic diseases.
文摘BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)often leads to vascular complications,such as albuminuria.The role of insulin autoantibodies(IAA)and their interaction with D-dimer in this context remains unclear.AIM To investigate the characteristics of IAA and its effect on albuminuria in T2DM patients.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 115 T2DM patients with positive IAA induced by exogenous insulin,and 115 age-and sex-matched IAA-negative T2DM patients as controls.Propensity scores were calculated using multivariate logistic regression.Key variables were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)algorithm.We constructed a prediction model and analyzed the association between IAA and albuminuria based on demographic and laboratory parameters.RESULTS The IAA-positive group had significantly higher D-dimer levels[0.30(0.19-0.55)mg/L vs 0.21(0.19-0.33)mg/L,P=0.008]and plasma insulin levels[39.1(12.0-102.7)μU/mL vs 9.8(5.5-17.6)μU/mL,P<0.001]compared to the IAA-negative group.Increases in the insulin dose per weight ratio,diabetes duration,and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio(UACR)were observed but did not reach statistical significance.The LASSO model identified plasma insulin and D-dimer as key factors with larger coefficients.D-dimer was significantly associated with UACR in the total and IAA-positive groups but not in the IAA-negative group.The odds ratio for D-dimer elevation(>0.5 g/L)was 2.88(95%confidence interval:1.17-7.07)in the IAA-positive group(P interaction<0.05).CONCLUSION D-dimer elevation is an independent risk factor for abnormal albuminuria and interacts with IAA in the development of abnormal albuminuria in T2DM patients.

文摘Parkinson's disease(PD),a chronic and com-mon neurodegenerative disease,is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the dense part of the substantia nigra and abnormal aggregation of alpha-synuclein.Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic insulin resistance and deficiency in insulin secretion.Extensive evidence has con-firmed shared pathogenic mechanisms underlying PD and T2DM,such as oxidative stress caused by insulin resistance,mitochondrial dysfunction,inflammation,and disorders of energy metabolism.Conventional drugs for treating T2DM,such as metformin and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor ago-nists,affect nerve repair.Even drugs for treating PD,such as levodopa,can affect insulin secretion.This review sum-marizes the relationship between PD and T2DM and related therapeutic drugs from the perspective of insulin signaling pathways in the brain.
文摘BACKGROUND The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in children and adolescents is increasing,yet there is limited information on the available pharmacological interventions to combat T2DM and prevent associated comorbidities.AIM To assess the effectiveness of current pharmacological treatments in managing T2DM in children and adolescents.The protocol of the study was registered in PROSPERO(CRD42022382165).METHODS Searches were performed in PubMed,EMBASE,Scopus,and ClinicalTrials.gov for publications between 1990 to September 2024 without language restrictions.Randomized control trials(RCTs)of pharmacotherapy in children and adolescents with T2DM(aged<19 years)were included.The primary outcome was a change in glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)from baseline to follow-up.Secondary outcomes were changes in body weight,body mass index(BMI),total cholesterol,triglycerides,high density lipoprotein,and low-density lipoprotein from baseline,and incidence of adverse events during study periods.Screening,full-text review,data extraction,and assessments of risk of bias were done by two reviewers.Conflicts on each step were resolved by a third reviewer.Data analysis was performed using Review Manager Version 6.5(RevMan 6.5)and‘R’software via RStudio,‘meta’and‘netmeta’.RESULTS A total of 12 studies having low to moderate risk of bias with 1658 participants,and follow-up duration 12-52 weeks were included.In our network meta-analysis,compared to control(s),the reduction of HbA1c was sig-nificantly larger for dulaglutide[mean difference(MD),95%confidence interval:-1.20,-2.12 to-0.28],followed by dapagliflozin(-0.94,-1.44 to-0.44),liraglutide(-0.91,-1.37 to-0.45),empagliflozin(-0.87,-1.40 to-0.34),exenatide(-0.59,-1.07 to-0.11)and linagliptin(-0.45,-0.87 to-0.02)while other drugs had little or no effect.While liraglutide was associated with a change in body weight[MD-2.41(-4.68,-0.14)kg],no other drug treatment was associated with significant changes in body weight,BMI,and lipids.Apart from level 1 hypoglycemia with liraglutide[risk difference(RD):0.20,0.04-0.37]and minor adverse events with dulaglutide(RD:0.24,0.08-0.40),no other treatment was associated with excess risk of hypoglycemia or minor or major adverse events.CONCLUSION Pharmacotherapy of T2DM with dulaglutide,dapagliflozin,liraglutide,empagliflozin,exenatide,and linagliptin in children is associated with modest reduction of HbA1c.Larger RCTs with longer follow-up durations are needed to guide better therapeutic decision making.
文摘Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)significantly elevates the risk of colorectal cancer(CRC)and complicates its treatment by promoting chemoresistance.Poor glycemic control has been linked to exacerbated CRC progression and diminished chemotherapy efficacy,impacting patient outcomes through various mechanisms such as oxidative stress,activation of metabolic pathways,and altered protein modifications that hinder apoptosis and enhance tumor survival.Clinical evidence shows that T2DM patients experience higher rates of chemoresistance and reduced disease-free survival and overall survival compared to non-diabetic patients.Specifically,those with poor glycemic control exhibit increased chemo-resistance and poorer survival metrics.Antidiabetic treatments,including metformin,acarbose,and gliclazide,show promise in improving chemotherapy response and glycemic management,potentially enhancing patient outcomes.Addressing this challenge requires a comprehensive,multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists,endocrino-logists,and surgeons to optimize patient care.Integrated strategies that prioritize glycemic control are essential for reducing chemoresistance and improving survival in CRC patients with T2DM.

文摘Objective To investigate the association between ABO blood types and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)risk.Methods A prospective birth cohort study was conducted.ABO blood types were determined using the slide method.GDM diagnosis was based on a 75-g,2-h oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)according to the criteria of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups.Logistic regression was applied to calculate the odds ratios(ORs)and 95%confidence intervals(CIs)between ABO blood types and GDM risk.Results A total of 30,740 pregnant women with a mean age of 31.81 years were enrolled in this study.The ABO blood types distribution was:type O(30.99%),type A(26.58%),type B(32.20%),and type AB(10.23%).GDM was identified in 14.44%of participants.Using blood type O as a reference,GDM risk was not significantly higher for types A(OR=1.05)or B(OR=1.04).However,women with type AB had a 19%increased risk of GDM(OR=1.19,95%CI=1.05–1.34;P<0.05),even after adjusting for various factors.This increased risk for type AB was consistent across subgroup and sensitivity analyses.Conclusion The ABO blood types may influence GDM risk,with type AB associated with a higher risk.Incorporating it—either as a single risk factor or in combination with other known factors—could help identify individuals at risk for GDM before or during early pregnancy.
文摘BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs)are caused by mutations in the KIT and platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha genes in approximately 90%of cases.A minority of wild-type GISTs are associated with neurofibromatosis type 1(NF1),an autosomal dominant genetic disease resulting from pathogenic mutations in the NF1 gene,which encodes the neurofibromin protein.NF1 patients often exhibit multi-system involvement,with café-au-lait macules and neurofibromas being characteristic symptoms.GISTs are a rare complication of NF1,with the tumors most frequently occurring in the small intestine(90%of cases),while occurrences in the stomach are rare.CASE SUMMARY A 51-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with complaints of dizziness,fatigue,chest tightness,and dark stools.Initial examination revealed a red blood cell count of 1.99×1012/L and a hemoglobin level of 43 g/L.She underwent blood transfusions and fluid replacement to stabilize her condition.Further investigations identified typical café-au-lait macules on her trunk,limbs,and face,along with neurofibromas.Endoscopy showed coffee-colored fluid in the gastric cavity,a large submucosal elevation with an exudative covering,and ulcer formation on the gastric fundus.Exploratory laparoscopy confirmed the tumor’s origin in the gastric fundus,and resection of the giant GIST was performed.Pathological analysis revealed a necrotic GIST measuring 18 cm×14 cm,classified as high-risk,with approximately 5 mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields and no tumor at the margins.Immunohistochemistry results were CD117(+),delay of germination 1(+),CD34(+),and succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B intact expression.Genetic testing using next-generation sequencing confirmed an NF1 gene mutation.The patient underwent successful tumor resection and was discharged home with postoperative regorafenib therapy.A follow-up at one year showed no recurrence.CONCLUSION Given the diversity of clinical symptoms associated with NF1 and the complexity of NF1-related GISTs,surgical resection with complete tumor removal remains the preferred treatment option.However,the absence of a standardized treatment protocol for adjuvant therapy presents numerous challenges for clinicians.
文摘AIM:To determine the risk factors and time to non-arteric ischemic optic neuropathy(NAION)occurrence among Thai type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients.METHODS:A retrospective review of 266 newly diagnosed T2DM cases at Rajavithi Hospital between 2007 and 2016 was conducted to determine time to occurrence of NAION and evaluate associated risk factors.RESULTS:Hypertension and dyslipidemia were the most common pre-existing vascular diseases and there was a significant male predominance in the NAION group.The mean age of the NAION group was significantly higher than that of the group without NAION.A higher proportion of subjects in the NAION group had hypertension,dyslipidemia,high diastolic blood pressure,smokers,and had a small cup-to-disc ratio(CDR).Higher levels of triglycerides and lowdensity lipoprotein-cholesterol in the group with NAION.Fiftyfive patients among 266 participants(20.68%)developed NAION during a mean follow-up time of 81.26±25.04mo.In a multivariable logistic regression analysis,dyslipidemia(OR=8.36,95%CI,3.447–20.273,P<0.001),high low density lipoprotein levels(OR=1.017,95%CI,1.004–1.029,P=0.009),and small CDR(OR=11.92,95%CI,4.477–31.741,P<0.001)were significant risk factors for NAION development.Smoking was the strongest predictive risk(OR=12.843,95%CI,3.959–41.659,P<0.001).Vascular complications of T2DM and aspirin were not associated with NAION.CONCLUSION:T2DM patients with dyslipidemia or a small CDR should be carefully followed up as they are at increased risk of developing NAION.
