[Characteristics and Source Apportionment of Black Carbon Over the Eastern Tibetan Plateau].

As the most important absorbing aerosol, black carbon (BC) can affect radiation, clouds, and surface snow cover over the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, the BC mass concentrations were measured using a seven-channel aethalometer (AE-33) in Litang County over the eastern Tibetan Plateau from July 5 to September 5, 2017. The aethalometer model, potential source contribution function (PSCF), and concentration-weighted trajectory (CWT) models were used to analyze the variation characteristics, potential sources, and affecting areas of BC.

[Analysis of Pollution Characteristics and Sources of PM Chemical Components in Chengdu in Winter].

Day-night PM samples were continuously collected in Chengdu from January 1 to 20, 2017, and the concentrations of major chemical components (water-soluble ions and carbonaceous components) were measured in the laboratory. During the observation period, the average mass concentration of PM was (127.1±59.

[Pollution Characteristics of Aerosol Number Concentration in Winter and Spring in a Northern Suburb of Nanjing].

Using APS-3321, the atmospheric aerosol number concentrations (0.5-20 μm) were continuously monitored to analyze the characteristics of winter and spring pollution in 2014 in a northern suburb of Nanjing. The average number concentrations were (364.

[Pollution Characteristics and Light Extinction Contribution of Water-soluble Ions of PM in Hangzhou].

The pollution characteristics and light extinction contribution of water-soluble ions of PM in Hangzhou were investigated by sampling and laboratory analysis of aerosol samplers in 2013. The water-soluble ions were dominant in PM and the total mass concentration was 37.5 μg·m, accounting for 44.

[Variation of Size Distribution and the Influencing Factors of Aerosol in Northern Suburbs of Nanjing].

The size distribution of particulate was analyzed by the FA-3 9 stage sampler in Northern-suburb of Nanjing from January to November in 2014. First, the monitoring result from FA-3 was compared with the results of the same period obtained from a medium flow size grading sampler (KC-120H) and online monitoring instrument of the Environmental Protection Agency. The data correlation coefficients were all greater than 0.

Whole-exome sequencing to identify novel somatic mutations in squamous cell lung cancers.

Squamous cell lung cancer is a major histotype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is distinct from lung adenocarcinoma. We used whole-exome sequencing to identify novel non-synonymous somatic mutations in squamous cell lung cancer. We identified 101 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) including 77 non-synonymous SNVs (67 missense and 10 nonsense mutations) and 11 INDELs causing frameshifts.

[A clinical study of 49 cases of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis].

Objective: Studying the proven and probable invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) cases of some hospitals in Shanghai to provide evidence for the improvement of IPA clinical diagnosis and therapy.

Methods: Forty-nine IPA cases were retrospectively analyzed for demography data, host factors, underlying conditions, chest CT, microorganism and histopathology examination, as well as therapy and clinical outcome.

Results: Of 49 subjects including 19 (38.
