陕西镇安黄家湾早更新世哺乳动物群及其伴生植物

记述了发现于陕西镇安黄家湾早更新世晚期的一个大型哺乳动物群。动物群包括哺乳动物4目、11科、24种,它们是：Canis variabilis, Hyaenidae gen. et sp. indet. , Homotherium sp. , Megantereon sp. , Lynx cf. shansius , Panthera pardus , Elephantidae gen. et sp. indet. , Equus qingyangensis , Hesperotherium sinense , Ancylotherium sp. , Megatapirus augustus, Rhinocerotidae gen. et sp. indet. , Dicerorhinus lantianensis, Sus sp. , Moschus moschi ferus , Cervus unicolor , Cervus sp. 1, Cervus sp. 2, Hydropotes sp. , Capreolus sp. , Strepsiceros annectens , Leptobos sp. , Bubalus sp. 和 Budorcas taxicolor等。动物群伴生植物孢粉分析表明,当时在化石产地生长着下列植物：Selaginella sp. , Pinaceae gen. et sp. indet. , Picea sp. , Cotinus coggygria , Juglans regia , Quercus sp. , Myrica rubra , Meliaceae gen. et sp. indet. , Celtis sp. , Oleaceae ( Syringa sp. ?) gen. et sp. indet. , Chenopodiaceae gen. et sp. indet. ,Kobresia sp. , Scrophulariaceae gen. et sp. indet. , Humulus sp. , Gramineae gen. et sp. indet. , Ranunculaceae gen. et sp. indet. , Sparganium sp. ,Celastraceae gen. et sp. indet. ,Elaeagnaceae gen. et sp. indet. ,Compositae gen. et sp. indet. ,Aremisia sp. , Xanthium sibiricum 和Carex sp.等。分析了动物群生活时栖息地的气候、植被和地貌特征,结果表明,动物群栖息在温暖、湿润、有森林、灌丛草地并富有水体的生境中,当时秦岭腹地存在着相当开阔的河谷地带,山势没有现在这么险峻,因此阻断秦岭南北动物交流的天然屏障当时可能还未真正形成,秦岭南北两侧的动物可以沿着开阔的河谷地带随季节和气候的变化互相扩散迁移。     

Occurrence of the earliest known Sphenothallus Hall in the Lower Cambrian of Southern Shaanxi Province, China

Three-dimensionally preserved specimens of an indeterminate species of Sphenothallus Hall occur in limestones in the uppermost Guojiaba and lower Xiannudong formations (Qiongzhusian and early Canglangpuan stages, Lower Cambrian) in southern Shaanxi Province, China. The specimens consist of a small (up to 3 mm long), gradually tapered, subcircular to elliptic (transversely) tube that is broken at both ends, commonly with the fracture edge at the wide (apertural) end of each face forming a V- or U-shaped notch. Some specimens preserve the subconical upper (proximal) part of the holdfast, and all specimens are black. Combined scanning and transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive elemental analyses show that the tube wall is finely laminated, with individual laminae measuring about 1 μm thick, and consists mainly of calcium phosphate but also contains organic material. Sphenothallus specimens from the Lower Cambrian Guojiaba and Xiannudong formations represent the earliest known record of this genus, and indicate that the origin of this taxon is coeval with and possibly related to the Early Cambrian bioradiation event.

陕西地区石参资源的调查

对陕西地区珍稀山野菜石参的分布及生长习性 ,生境、繁殖和生物学特性 ,加工利用现状作了实地调查 ,并确定了其分类地位。石参属百合科独尾草属的独尾草 (EremuruschinensisFedtsch .) ,为多年生草本植物 ;其根肉质、柔软 ,黄色或深褐色 ,为其食用部分。在陕西省 ,资源分布十分有限 ,其主要分布在略阳县境内。目前石参加工利用水平较低 ,干制品年销售量不足 2t。资源保护与开发等诸多问题亟待解决     

陕西府谷发现的晚中新世维氏大唇犀(奇蹄目,犀科)新材料

新材料有丰富的头骨和下颌骨标本,因而对维氏大唇犀有了更加深入的了解。观察结果显示维氏大唇犀在大唇犀属中的地位相当特别,它具有极窄的顶嵴间平面、马鞍形的头骨顶面、发育的眶上结节和较高的枕面,这些特征显示出它是所有已知大唇犀中最原始的一个种。     

陕北黄土高原森林植被数量分类及环境解释

通过对陕北黄土高原森林群落的系统聚类分析和因子分析（FA）及其与5个土壤变量的多元统计分析。定量研究了该地区森林植被的类型及土壤特征之间的相互关系。结果表明,陕北黄土高原森林植被可分为5个群系,即油松林、辽东栎林、山杨林、白桦林和侧柏林,聚类分析结果与传统分类的结果完全一致。该地区森林植被格局可由群落土壤条件的差异来解释,土壤因子中含水量、全氮和有机质是主导性因素,各群落沿此梯度呈现出一定的分布格局,其它土壤因子的作用并不明显。     

CDC7-dependent transcriptional regulation of RAD54L is essential for tumorigenicity and radio-resistance of glioblastoma

Accumulating evidence indicates that cell division cycle 7-related protein kinase(CDC7) plays an essential role in tumor cells and it could induces cell proliferation and could be related to prognosis in multiple types of cancer. However, the biological role and molecular mechanism of CDC7 in GBM still remains unclear. In this study, we identified that CDC7 expression was enriched in glioblastoma (GBM) tumors and was functionally required for tumor proliferation and its expression was associated to poor prognosis in GBM patients. Mechanically, CDC7 induced radio resistance in GBM cells and CDC7 knock down increased cell apoptosis when combined with radiotherapy. Moreover, CDC7 regulated The DNA repair/recombination protein 54L (RAD54L) expression via regulation of RAD54L promoter activity. Therapeutically, we found that CDC7 inhibitor attenuated tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, CDC7 promotes proliferation, induces radio resistance in GBM, and could become a potential therapeutic target for GBM.

陕南新元古代末期微体管状疑难化石

末元古纪以Cloudina为代表的管状动物化石是目前世界上公认最早的具矿化骨骼的生物类群,在世界许多地区都有发现,但它并不是当时唯一的矿化生物类型,更多的动物骨骼化化石证据在寒武纪大爆发之前的沉积物中时有发现。作者在处理陕南末元古纪的化石过程中,发现了大量不同形态的微体管状化石(直径大多小于150μm),包括末端封闭的粗短管体,不分枝管体,末端扩展的骨针状构造及具多种分叉样式的分枝管体。这些化石的亲缘关系仍不清楚,但它们为我们提供了动物演化和矿化初始阶段的化石记录。
