Summary: By studying the dyke swarms in the southeastern North China craton, researchers have explored the response of the crust and lithospheric mantle to regional tectonic extension. The study reveals two stages of tectonic evolution, characterized by crustal thinning and lithospheric root collapse, which were caused by continuous tectonic extension and magmatic activities.

Summary: Based on precise geochronology, this study reveals the existence of an unknown dyke event, which is the oldest in the Bundelkhand craton, with an emplacement age of 2004.3 +/- 3.5 Ma. The study also identifies three geochemically distinct groups of dykes from the NW-SE trending dykes, suggesting their derivation from subcontinental lithospheric mantle sources enriched by subduction-derived fluids at different depths and times. These findings contribute to our understanding of the regional geological history and global crustal extension events.

Summary: Understanding the emplacement mechanisms and depths of continental mafic dyke swarms is crucial for understanding magma flow dynamics, plumbing system architecture, and crustal dilation related to large igneous provinces. This study analyzed five Paleoproterozoic mafic dyke swarms in the Eastern Dharwar Craton, confirming that the dykes were formed by vertical magma injection and lateral magma flow at different depths. The emplacement of the dykes can be traced back to the development of fracture systems during and after the Neoarchean accretion event, suggesting a regional stress control.

Summary: The petrogenesis of Neoarchean dyke swarms and dispersed volcanic successions in the Singhbhum craton has the potential to constrain mantle heterogeneity. Geochemical modeling, Sr and Nd isotopic analyses, and geochronology study indicate that these rocks likely originate from a metasomatised subcontinental lithospheric mantle enriched before 2800 Ma through subduction processes. The interaction with metasomatised SCLM formed diverse dykes and basaltic andesitic-andesitic volcanics through assimilation-fractional crystallization processes.

Summary: The Jiao-Liao-Ji Belt (JLJB) in the North China Craton is a global continent-to-continent collisional orogen that formed around 1.90-1.85 Ga. The tectonic process before the final collision has been a subject of controversy, with some suggesting a back-arc setting during 2.2-2.1 Ga and others proposing continental rifting. The study of coeval mafic rocks in the JLJB reveals that they are sub-alkaline basalts with geochemical and isotopic characteristics similar to enriched mid-ocean ridge basalts. This indicates that the parental magmas of these rocks were derived from partial melting of the depleted asthenospheric mantle with crustal contamination. The presence of A-type and adakitic granites, as well as bimodal volcanic rocks throughout the JLJB, suggests an initial intracontinental rifting that preceded the final collision between the Longgang and Nangrim Blocks around 1.90 Ga.

Summary: The early Paleoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Jiao-Liao-Ji belt remains controversial. This study presents new insights into this issue by analyzing ca. 2.2-2.1 Ga felsic metavolcanic rocks from the Liaodong Peninsula. The geochemical and isotopic results suggest that these rocks were derived from partial melting of ancient Archean TTG rocks and juvenile lower crustal materials. Combined with other evidence, the most likely tectonic regime for the JLJB at ca. 2.2-2.1 Ga is an intra-continental rift.

Summary: Lamproite dikes in the Qulin complex, southern Tibet formed earlier than other rocks in the region due to preferential melting of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) during the initiation of the Southern Tibet Rift System (STRS). These lamproites have unique geochemical properties, including low SiO2 and Al2O3, high K2O, MgO, CaO, Sr, Ba concentrations, and enrichment in LREE. They were derived from low-degree partial melting of the metasomatized SCLM, influenced by silicic melt and minor carbonated melt. The Nyemo lamproites contribute significantly more from the melt-modified SCLM compared to other Tethyan Realm Lamproites (TRL).

Summary: Water redistribution has a profound impact on the function of dryland ecosystems. Biological soil crusts (BSCs or biocrusts), which cover a large portion of arid land soil surface, have conflicting effects on water redistribution at a regional scale. This study clarified the effects of different biocrusts on soil hydraulic properties in the Tengger Desert. The results showed that biocrusts significantly altered soil hydraulic properties, including water holding capacity, soil hydrophobicity, water sorptivity, and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity. Understanding the role of biocrusts in hydraulic properties can help improve our understanding of soil water distribution, movement, and retention in the area.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biological effects of cancer stem cells (CSCs) irradiated by charged particle, including proliferation, invasion, migration, and changes in the molecular level. The results showed that CSCs have obvious radio-resistance compared with non-CSCs, and charged particle irradiation or in combination with drugs could overcome this resistance, specifically manifested in inhibiting CSCs' proliferation, invasion, migration, and causing more and harder to repair DNA double-stranded breaks (DSB) of CSCs.

Summary: A new perfect triangular lattice antiferromagnet K2Ni(SeO3)(2) has been synthesized, in which both in-plane and inter-plane geometric frustration is present. The compound shows antiferromagnetic order at T(N) ≈ 7 K. High-field magnetization and electron spin resonance indicate the presence of easy-plane anisotropy. Density functional theory calculations confirm the excellent two-dimensionality of the compound. Thus, K2Ni(SeO3)(2) is a perfect triangular-lattice antiferromagnet with strong frustration and easy-plane anisotropy.

Summary: This study investigates and reviews the strata and igneous suites in the eastern North China craton during the late stage of the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) known as the Lomagundi-Jatuli event (LJE). The results show that the LJE-traced strata span approximately 200 Ma and are correlated with the emplacement of large igneous provinces (LIPs) during a global LIP peak. These LIPs contribute to the accumulation of organic matters in sediments and the oxygenation of the atmosphere through subaqueous-extrusions and nutrient elements' input. The termination of the GOE-LJE is associated with the emergence of subduction systems and orogenic processes.

Summary: Through a systematic review and meta-analysis of 37 cohort studies, it was found that an increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) per 250 mL/day was associated with a higher risk of breast, colorectal, biliary tract, and prostate cancer. Increased consumption of artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) per 250 mL/day was associated with a higher risk of leukemia. Increased consumption of 100% fruit juice per 250 mL/day was associated with a higher risk of overall cancer, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and thyroid cancer. There were linear dose-response associations between SSBs consumption and breast and kidney cancer, and between ASBs and fruit juices consumption and pancreatic cancer.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of head-of-bed elevation on patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). The results showed that elevating the head of the bed by 30 degrees can significantly reduce intracranial pressure (ICP), but did not have statistical differences on cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and disability at 90 days. Therefore, head-of-bed elevation of 30 degrees may be an effective noninvasive nursing practice for the prognosis and rehabilitation of ABI patients.

Summary: The CYP76 subfamily, which belongs to the CYP superfamily, is crucial for phytohormone biosynthesis and response to environmental stresses in plants. Genome-wide analysis of the CYP76 subfamily in seven AA genome species revealed three groups, with Group 1 having the largest number of members. Analysis of cis-acting elements showed a high number of elements related to jasmonic acid and light response. Gene duplication analysis indicated expansion mainly through SD/WGD and tandem forms, with strong purifying selection during evolution. Expression pattern analysis showed that OsCYP76s exhibit restricted expression patterns in leaves and roots. qRT-PCR analysis of CYP76s under abiotic stresses revealed specific response patterns and functional divergence between japonica and indica rice. These findings provide valuable insights into the functional diversity and evolution of the CYP76 subfamily and have implications for improving stress tolerance and agronomic traits in rice.

Summary: A suite of 2.5 billion-year-old mafic intrusive bodies, mainly stocks, has been identified in the Wutai area of the North China Craton. The Longwangtang mafic stock, which is a coarse-grained gabbro intrusion, was emplaced in the late Neoarchean period. A medium-grained gabbro dyke intruded into the Longwangtang stock during the Late Triassic. Geochemical analysis indicates that the parental magma of the Longwangtang stock has similar characteristics to oceanic island basalt, and its formation is associated with fractional crystallization.
