基于数字土壤制图技术的土壤有机碳储量估算

精准的土壤属性空间分布信息有助于提升土壤有机碳储量估算的精度。本研究以河南省济源市南山林场为研究区,以地形因子为预测因子,利用模糊C均值(FCM)聚类方法对土壤有机碳含量、土壤容重、土壤厚度和土壤砾石含量进行数字土壤预测制图,基于数字制图结果实现土壤有机碳密度预测制图和土壤有机碳储量估算。结果表明: 基于数字土壤制图方法得到的研究区土壤有机碳密度平均值为4.24 kg·m^-2,其预测图的平均误差(ME)为0.08 kg·m^-2,平均绝对误差(MAE)为2.80 kg·m^-2,均方根误差(RMSE)为5.03 kg·m^-2,与传统类型方法相比,预测结果的精度和稳定性更高,具有较高的可信度,最终估算得到研究区土壤有机碳储量为3.08×10⁸ kg。基于数字土壤制图技术仅采用少量土壤样点即可实现较高精度的土壤有机碳密度制图和储量估算,且能表征土壤有机碳密度空间分布特征。本研究为土壤有机碳储量估算提供了新途径,有助于提升土壤有机碳储量估算的精度和效率。     

游离DNA研究进展及标准化的必要性

游离DNA (cell free DNA,cfDNA)作为一种新型分子标志物在疾病预测、肿瘤防治等方面的作用日益突出.但在实现其广泛的临床应用前仍存在诸多障碍,主要是cfDNA相关的标准较少,导致目前的研究报道缺乏可比性,检测结果缺乏稳定的可重复性,从而降低了临床应用的可靠性.本综述集中阐述了近年来cfDNA的相关研究进展,包括cfDNA的样本来源、样本保存、样本提取、定性定量检测和应用,并分析比较了cfDNA研究的各个环节采用的方法及其优缺点,对其中存在的问题进行了剖析和总结,指明了cfDNA相关标准制定的迫切性.     

旅游干扰下水质对大鲵繁殖行为与繁殖力的影响

通过控制大鲵仿生态繁育池进水量模拟旅游干扰下的水质溶解氧特征,采用红外数字监控系统研究大鲵繁殖行为(产卵与护卵)及繁殖力(相对产卵量、受精率与孵化率)特点,分析它们与水质的关系,探讨旅游干扰导致的水质变化对大鲵繁殖行为及繁殖力的影响。结果表明: 与对照组相比,旅游干扰下大鲵的产卵行为与繁殖力未受到显著影响,但雄鲵护卵行为中的扇尾与搅动时间显著延长,以提高水中溶解氧浓度,满足大鲵胚胎发育需求;此外,旅游干扰下受精卵的孵化时间显著延长,但孵化率未受到显著影响。雄鲵护卵行为变化与受精卵孵化时间延长可能是大鲵对旅游干扰导致的水质变化的一种主动响应。     

In vivo measurement of surface skin strain during human gait to improve the design of rehabilitation devices

Abstract

When designing any rehabilitation, sportswear or exoskeleton device the mechanical behaviour of the body segment must be known, specifically the skin, because an excessive tissue strain may lead to ulceration and bedsores. To date, it is not known if the kinematic variability between subjects have an effect on the skin strain field, and therefore, in the design and manufacturing of rehabilitation products, such as orthoses. Several studies have analysed the skin deformation during human motion, nevertheless, the comparison between the skin strain field in different subjects during normal or pathological gait has not been reported yet. This work presents a comparison of skin strain analysis for different gait patterns to study the differences between people and, specifically, if it is possible to standardize the orthotic design between subjects with the same gait disorder. Moreover, the areas with relatively minimum strain during the ankle-foot motion are compared to improve the design of structural parts of rehabilitation devices. In this case, a validated 3D digital image correlation system has been used for this purpose combined with strain ellipse theory. The results demonstrate variations in the skin strain field between subjects with the same pathology and similarities between subjects with normal gait. However, more studies and experiments are necessaries to validate this hypothesis and also to test it between different gait pathologies.     

A comparison of DNA methylation specific droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and real time qPCR with flow cytometry in characterizing human T cells in peripheral blood

Quantitating the copy number of demethylated CpG promoter sites of the CD3Z gene can be used to estimate the numbers and proportions of T cells in human blood and tissue. Quantitative methylation specific PCR (qPCR) is useful for studying T cells but requires extensive calibration and is imprecise at low copy numbers. Here we compared the performance of a new digital PCR platform (droplet digital PCR or ddPCR) to qPCR using bisulfite converted DNA from 157 blood specimens obtained from ambulatory care controls and patients with primary glioma. We compared both ddPCR and qPCR with conventional flow cytometry (FACS) evaluation of CD3 positive T cells. Repeated measures on the same blood sample revealed ddPCR to be less variable than qPCR. Both qPCR and ddPCR correlated significantly with FACS evaluation of peripheral blood CD3 counts and CD3/total leukocyte values. However, statistical measures of agreement showed that linear concordance was stronger for ddPCR than for qPCR and the absolute values were closer to FACS for ddPCR. Both qPCR and ddPCR could distinguish clinically significant differences in T cell proportions and performed similarly to FACS. Given the higher precision, greater accuracy, and technical simplicity of ddPCR, this approach appears to be a superior DNA methylation based method than conventional qPCR for the assessment of T cells.
