The Karakoram Terrane (KT) represents the southern margin of Eurasian Plate, mainly consisting Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous subduction-related granites and post-collisional Miocene leucogranites, which intrude Neo-Proterozoic basement. We report for first time existence Cryogenian KT basement as recorded from geochemistry geochronology tonalite gneiss (ca. 806 Ma) in southeastern terrane, NW ...

The Archaean crustal evolution of the northern São Francisco Craton (SFC) reveals significant similarity with Kaapvaal-Zimbabwe and Pilbara, cratons, especially before 3.0 Ga. Likewise, compiled geochronological Nd-Sr-Hf isotope data suggest that blocks part SFC (e.g. Gavião, Uauá Serrinha) shared similar since 3.15 3.42–3.35 Ga TTGs southern western Gavião Block have negative slightly positive...

BACKGROUND Because the outcomes and sequelae after different types of brain injury (BI) are variable and difficult to predict, investigations on whether enhanced expressions of BI-associated biomarkers (BIABs), including transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1), S100B, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neurofilament light chain (NF-L), tissue transglutaminases (tTGs), beta-amyloid pre...

The preserved Archean continental crust is dominantly comprised of tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) suites associated with less abundant low-grade greenstone belts. exact processes that form TTGs, as well the source rock they are derived from, difficult to constrain from sparse geological record. However, studies show water-present partial melting metamorphosed basalt at temperatures 75...

The Alxa Block is an important component of the North China Craton, but its metamorphic basement has been poorly studied, which hampers understanding and Craton. In this study, we conducted geochronological geochemical studies on three TTG (tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite) gneisses one granitic gneiss exposed in Langshan area eastern to investigate their crustal evolution. zircon U-Pb dating...

BACKGROUND no systematic studies on the prevalence of coeliac disease (CD) have been reported from China. In western populations CD is more common in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and in diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS). We have screened patients with these conditions presenting to the outpatient department of a large hospital of "Traditional Chi...
