Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication in both type 1 and 2 diabetes, but any treatment toward development of DPN not yet available. Axon degeneration an early feature many neuropathies, including DPN. Delay axon has beneficial effects on various neurodegenerative diseases, its effect to be elucidated. Deficiency Sarm1 significantly attenuates several models, deficiency still unclear. In this study, we show that knockout mice exhibit normal glucose metabolism...
Smog chamber experimental systems, which have been widely used in laboratory simulation for studying atmospheric processes, are comprehensively reviewed this paper. The components, development history, main research topics and achievements of smog chambers introduced. Typical the world, including their volumes, wall materials, light sources features, summarized compared. Key factors influences on environment discussed, loss, emission background pollutants. features next-generation...
Searching for land refugia becomes imperative human survival during the hypothetical sixth mass extinction. Studying past comparable crises can offer insights, but there is no fossil evidence of diverse megafloral ecosystems surviving largest Phanerozoic biodiversity crisis. Here, we investigated palynomorphs, plant, and tetrapod fossils from Permian-Triassic South Taodonggou Section in Xinjiang, China. Our records, calibrated by a high-resolution age model, reveal presence vibrant regional...
The distant evolutionary ancestry of mammals is documented by a rich therapsid fossil record.While sphenacodontid synapsids are considered the sister-group therapsids, place origin therapsids an enigma, largely because long standing morphological and temporal gap (Olson's Gap) in their record.We describe new large predatory synapsid, Raranimus dashankouensis gen.et sp.nov., from Middle Permian Dashankou China which has unique combination features.This specimen great significance as it basal...
Diadectomorpha is a clade of Late Palaeozoic vertebrates widely recognized as the sister group crown-group Amniota and first tetrapod lineage to evolve high-fibre herbivory. Despite their evolutionary importance, diadectomorphs are restricted stratigraphically geographically, with all records being from Upper Carboniferous Lower Permian North America Germany. We describe new diadectomorph, Alveusdectes fenestralis , based on partial skull China. The species exhibits derived mechanism for...
Erythrosuchidae is a clade of early archosauriform reptiles, which were apex predators in many late Early and Middle Triassic ecosystems, following the Permo-Triassic mass extinction. Erythrosuchids had worldwide distribution, with well-preserved fossil material known from South Africa, European Russia, China. We here redescribe anatomy revise taxonomy Guchengosuchus shiguaiensis, one stratigraphically oldest erythrosuchids single partial skeleton lowermost (lower Anisian) lower Ermaying...
All available specimens of Andescynodon mendozensis and Rusconiodon mignonei are examined restudied, the latter species is regarded as a junior synonym former. The postcranial skeleton this described for first time; it generally shows primitive features traversodontids. small- to medium-sized traversodontid characterized by 9∼11 upper postcanines in adults (fewer larger individuals), transverse ridge lying anteriorly on tooth, paracanine fossa penetrating skull roof adult; differentiated...
Dissorophidae are terrestrial temnospondyls with conspicuous armor. All known Guadalupian dissorophid species, including Anakamacops petrolicus, established based on incomplete materials. Here two new specimens from the Dashankou Fauna of China described and referred to A. petrolicus. They provide much more osteological information this species. petrolicus has largest skull among all It exhibits knobby exostoses roof mandible, a high suborbital bar that is greater than half height,...
Abstract Two new tetrapod burrow casts from the Naobaogou Formation (Middle or Late Permian) of Nei Mongol, China are described. It marks first pre‐Cenozoic China, and one earliest records burrows. Comparison to other Permian Triassic burrows suggests that these were created by slightly smaller than Lystrosaurus . Deduced morphology sizes two known tetrapods Formation, should be production a therapsid, most likely dicynodon. These indicate seasonal climate this area was semiarid arid during time.
Honania complicidentata and Tsiyuania simplicidentata are pareiasaur taxa based on material from the Shangshihezi Formation of Jiyuan, Henan Province, China that were earlier designated as nomina vana.Based study new material, reexamination old specimens, we determine Jiyuan represents a single species differs all known other localities.Thus, resurrect name H. for Jiyuan.H. is characterized by maxillary teeth with high crowns, dentary slightly posteriorly inclined compared to dorsal margin,...
This paper addresses some issues about the taxonomy of two traversodontid cynodonts: Exaeretodon.and Ischignathus.The type species Exaeretodon, a Late Triassic genus, is E. frenguellii, but valid name Argentinian argentinus.Another this genus riograndensis from Brazil.Part holotype Traversodon major Brazil, that was subsequently allocated in as well Exaeretodon statisticae India, are considered indeterminate Exaeretodon.After detailed discussion diagnoses Ischignathus sudamericanus, taxon...
Abstract The pareiasaur fossil record in China is poor compared to that of Russia or South Africa. A new specimen here reported from the upper Permian Naobaogou Formation Daqing Mountains, Nei Mongol, China. It recognized as a species Elginia , taxon otherwise known only Cutties Hillock Sandstone Scotland. Diagnostic features include moderately developed cheek flange; prominent otic notch (formed between squamosal and quadratojugal at posterior margin temporal plate); enlarged supraorbital...

Recently, Repelinosaurus robustus from Laos was proposed as the basal-most member of Kannemeyeriiformes and regarded Early Triassic in age. A new dicynodont specimen Sunjiagou Formation Shanxi, China, is described named Taoheodon baizhijuni, gen. et sp. nov. It characterized by autapomorphies such a shallow fossa on triangular region at proximal side postorbital bar, basisphenoid contribution to basisphenoid-basioccipital tubera that slopes anterodorsally angle, absence pterygoid keel....
The dicynodont fossils from the Naobaogou Formation of Nei Mongol, China are abundant and diverse but poorly studied. In this article, one nearly complete skeleton four cranial specimens referred to dicynodontoid genus Turfanodon as a new species, T. jiufengensis . Previously, was known only upper Permian sites in Xinjiang Gansu. based on following characters: snout tall with steeply sloping profile, anterior tip squared off, facial region heavily pitted, nasal bosses present paired...
Therapsids were widely distributed in Pangea the late Permian. South Africa Gondwana and Russia Laurasia are principal areas recording tetrapods (including therapsids) of this age. More recent field explorations have increased importance Chinese Permian fossil assemblages. This is clearly reflected discovery several new therocephalians from Naobaogou Formation Nei Mongol. Here, we report a therocephalian that unit identified as species emblematic African taxon Euchambersia . The species,...
