New material of microfossils from the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation in the Zhangcunping area, Yichang, Hubei Province and its zircon SHRIMP U-Pb age

The Zhangcunping area is located at the north limb of the Huangling anticline in Yichang, Hubei Province. Here, the sedimentary succession of the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation is similar with that in the Weng’an area, Guizhou Province. A large number of new microfossils (mainly acanthoacritarchs) from the Doushantuo Formation in this area are reported in this paper. The fossil assemblage shows similarity as the phosphatized biota of the Doushantuo Formation at Weng’an, Guizhou Province and the silicified biota of the Doushantuo Formation at the Yangtze Gorges, which suggests that the Zhangcunping area is a key for correlation of the Doushantuo Formation between the Weng’an area, Guizhou Province and the Yangtze Gorges. Besides, a new zircon SHRIMP U-Pb age (614.0±7.6 Ma) is first obtained from a horizon underneath the exposed surface in the middle of the Doushantuo Formation in the Zhangcunping area. This age not only provides a new datum for subdivision of the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation, but also indicates that the age of the exposed surface in the middle of the Doushantuo Formation in the Yangtze Platform should be posterior to 614.0±7.6 Ma. Due to the horizon of the Weng’an biota situated above the exposed surface, the age of the Weng’an biota should be posterior to 614.0±7.6 Ma as well.

基于靶向多肽的量子点探针用于结肠癌肿瘤组织识别

多肽标记的量子点已经被广泛应用于肿瘤细胞成像, 特别是靶向多肽标记的量子点能够特异性地标记细胞从而识别肿瘤. 然而到目前为止, 还没有靶向多肽标记的量子点用于结肠癌肿瘤组织成像. 本文合成了一种双功能的TCP-1-H6多肽, 这种多肽既有TCP-1的靶向性, 又含有一个组氨酸标签(His-tag). 多肽与量子点可以通过His-tag偶联并通过毛细管电泳表征. TCP-1可以特异性地识别结肠癌细胞的受体. 实验结果表明, 靶向多肽标记的量子点能特异性地识别结肠癌细胞及肿瘤组织. 这一工作对肿瘤细胞的识别诊断研究具有重要的参考价值.     

单液滴在射流场中的形变及破碎实验研究

在射流场中对自由上升单液滴的形变和破碎过程进行了研究。采用高速摄像技术拍摄记录液滴的初始形状、上升速度、进入射流场后的形变破碎等现象，运用粒子图像测速(PIV)技术研究了射流场的流场情况。通过改变液滴初始粒径大小、入射位置、射流速度等参数考察了在不同射流速度下液滴在流场中的形变破碎过程。结果表明，液滴在进入射流场后会发生3个尺度的形变过程，随后会发生从生成子液滴数为两个至多个不等的二元破碎至多元破碎现象；液滴一次破碎位置随流场剪切力而变化，主体破碎区域为射流场的中间部分；液滴在射流场中生成的子液滴数量会随入射流量、入射位置和母液滴粒径的改变发生变化。
