<em>c</em>. 1.85 Ga HP granulite-facies metamorphism in the Dunhuang block of the Tarim Craton, NW China: evidence from UâPb zircon dating of mafic granulites
<p>Mafic granulites of the Dunhuang block, eastern Tarim Craton, record high-pressure granulite-facies metamorphism followed
by a medium- to low-pressure granulite-facies metamorphic overprint, suggesting a clockwise <em>PâT</em> path and implying an environment of collisional orogenesis. Zircon UâPb ages of two samples are 1834 ± 12 Ma and 1842 ± 5
Ma. Mineral inclusions in zircon indicate that these ages record the high-pressure granulite-facies event, suggesting that
the Tarim Craton may be related to the <em>c</em>. 1.85 Ga assembly of the Columbia supercontinent. Similar <em>c</em>. 1.85 Ga metamorphism in both the Dunhuang block and the Alxa block of the North China Craton supports their correlation
across the Altyn Tagh fault.

Data_Sheet_1_The establishment of the general microexpression recognition ability and its relevant brain activity.CSV
Microexpressions are very transitory expressions lasting about 1/25âŒ1/2 s, which can reveal peopleâs true emotions they try to hide or suppress. The PREMERT (pseudorandom ecological microexpression recognition test) could test the individualâs microexpression recognition ability with six microexpression Ms (the mean of accuracy rates of a microexpression type under six expression backgrounds), and six microexpression SDs (the standard deviation of accuracy rates of this microexpression type under six expression backgrounds), but it and other studies did not explore the general microexpression recognition ability (the GMERA) or could not test the GMERA effectively. Therefore, the current study put forward and established the GMERA with the behavioral data of the PREMERT. The spontaneous brain activity in the resting state is a stable index to measure individual cognitive characteristics. Therefore, the current study explored the relevant resting-state brain activity of the GMERA indicators to prove that GMERA is an individual cognitive characteristic from brain mechanisms with the neuroimaging data of the PREMERT. The results showed that (1) there was a three-layer hierarchical structure in human microexpression recognition ability: The GMERA (the highest layer); recognition of a type of microexpression under different expression backgrounds (the second layer); and recognition of a certain microexpression under a certain expression background (the third layer). A common factor GMERA was extracted from the six microexpression types recognition in PREMERT. Four indicators of the GMERA were calculated from six microexpression Ms and six microexpression SDs, such as GMERAL (level of GMERA), GMERAF (fluctuation of GMERA), GMERAB (background effect of GMERA), and GMERABF (fluctuation of GMERAB), which had good parallel-forms reliability, calibration validity, and ecological validity. The GMERA provided a concise and comprehensive overview of the individualâs microexpression recognition ability. The PREMERT was proved as a good test to measure the GMERA. (2) ALFFs (the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations) in both eyes-closed and eyes-opened resting-states and ALFFs-difference could predict the four indicators of the GMERA. The relevant resting-state brain areas were some areas of the expression recognition network, the microexpression consciousness and attention network, and the motor network for the change from expression backgrounds to microexpression. (3) The relevant brain areas of the GMERA and different types of microexpression recognition belonged to the three cognitive processes, but the relevant brain areas of the GMERA were the âhigher-orderâ areas to be more concise and critical than those of different types of microexpression recognition.</p

Image_1_Case Report: Bronchial artery embolization and chemoradiotherapy for central squamous cell lung carcinoma with rapid regression.jpeg
BackgroundInterventional embolization is a common treatment for hemoptysis, one of the complications of lung cancer. However, there are no official guidelines for the use of this method in antitumor therapy.Case DescriptionHerein, we describe a case of a patient who was pathologically diagnosed as central squamous cell lung cancer. The patient received chemotherapy, interventional embolization and radiotherapy successively. The tumor regressed rapidly within 48 hours of receipt of interventional embolization. Furthermore, the tumor decreased by more than 50% in size within 7 days during radiotherapy. Unfortunately, the patient has since developed lymph node metastases and remains under treatment.ConclusionsThus, finding the suitable blood vessel embolized may be a suitable option to reduce the local tumor load and can be considered as antitumor therapy in combination with other treatments. The patientâs theoretical hypoxia state after interventional therapy still produced a good tumor regression after radiotherapy. However, so far, no related studies have reported the changes of tumor immune microenvironment in human body after intervention and radiotherapy.</p

Four isomers are currently known for the trioxygenated
fullerene
derivative C<sub>60</sub>(O)<sub>3</sub>, three regioisomers with
all of the oxygen addends as epoxy groups and the unstable ozonide
isomer with a 1,2,3-trioxlane ring. Here we report the synthesis of
an open-cage isomer for C<sub>60</sub>(O)<sub>3</sub> with a ketolactone
moiety embedded into the fullerene skeleton through a three-step procedure
mediated by fullerene peroxide chemistry. Two fullerene skeleton carbonâcarbon
bonds are cleaved in the process. The open-cage derivative C<sub>60</sub>(O)<sub>3</sub> can be converted back to C<sub>60</sub> through deoxygenation
with PPh<sub>3</sub>. Single crystal X-ray structure confirmed the
open-cage structure
