Maternal and Fetal Metabonomic Alterations in Maternal Lipopolysaccharide Exposure-induced Male Offspring Glucose Metabolism Disorders
Authors: Qing Qiting , Huang Lili , Zhao Mei
Published: December 2020

Maternal lipopolysaccharide(LPS)exposure during pregnancy induced metabolic abnormalities in male offspring, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. The aims of this study were to elucidate the underlying etiologies by characterizing the metabolic alterations in maternal serum and male fetal liver. Pregnant mice were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (50ug/kg/d) from gestational period (GD 15 to GD 17). In the GD18, maternal serum and male fetal liver were collected. The metabolic profiles were analyzed using liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS) techniques. After LPS exposure, glycerophospholipids containing saturated fatty acids were up-regulated, and glycerophospholipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids were down-regulated in both pregnant mice and male offspring. In addition, we observed that LPS-exposed dams also had increased saturated fatty acids levels and decreased polyunsaturated fatty acids levels. Because these abnormal glycerophospholipids and fatty acid metabolism have been identified as possibly associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes, our study has therefore identified two pathways (glycerophospholipids and fatty acid metabolism) that potentially underlie LPS induced fetal metabolic disease.

Authors: Zhang Ke Xue , Chai Wei , Zhao Jia Jia , Deng Jun Hao , Peng Zhan , Chen Ji Ying
Published: December 2020

Background Unicameral bone cyst (UBC) is a benign tumor whose clinical treatments and efficacy are controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN), the injection of autologous bone marrow (ABM) and the combination of ESIN and ABM in the treatment of simple bone cyst of children. Methods 83 children with simple bone cyst were analyzed retrospectively. 28 cases were treated with ABM. 28 cases were treated with ESIN. 27 cases were treated with ABM and ESIN. All cases were diagnosed through X-ray, CT or MRI scans. For the suspicious ones, pathological biopsy was performed for an accurate diagnosis. X-ray examinations were carried out for the postoperative follow-up. Capanna criteria for bone cyst was used for the postoperative evaluation of the three methods. Results All the cases accomplished the follow-up. The effective rate of ABM+ESIN group was significantly higher than that of the ABM group (P<0.05), and the cure rates of ESIN group and ABM+ESIN group were higher than that of ABM group (P<0.05, respectively). The cure time in ESIN group was lower than that of the other two groups (P<0.05, respectively). The times for admission were 2.0±0.0 in ESIN group, 5.7±1.9 in ABM group and 4.7±2.4 in ABM+ESIN group (P<0.05 when compared with each other). Conclusions The method of ABM combined with ESIN for children bone cyst has the highest effective and curative rates. For individual method, ESIN has a higher effective rate and curative rate than that of ABM. Meanwhile, it has the fewest hospitalizations.

Published: December 2020

Background As the general population of Japan ages, the population of hospitalized psychiatric patients is also ageing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) with age and oral health, including oral and swallowing function, among psychiatric inpatients. Methods The subjects included 165 psychiatric inpatients in psychiatric hospitals in Japan. The General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) were included in the questionnaire survey for the measurement of OHRQoL and the screening of dysphagia. A score ≥3 on the EAT-10 was defined as suspected dysphagia. Oral examinations and oral diadochokinesis (ODK) measurements for the tongue-lip motor function evaluation were conducted. The inpatients with acute psychiatric symptoms, moderate and severe dementia, and cognitive impairment that affected their ability to communicate and relate their feelings were excluded. A chi-squared test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and linear regression analysis were used for the analysis. The data were analysed at the 5% significance level. Results A total of 100 (64.5%) psychiatric inpatients (mean age, 67.3 [SD, 14.5] years, 49% males, and 51% females) participated in this study. The means±SDs for the decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) index and GOHAI score were 20.6±6 and 49.7±7.9, respectively. The GOHAI score in the older age group (≥65 years) was significantly lower than that in the younger age group (<65 years). The mean ODK scores were less than 3 times/sec for all syllables. The percentage of the participants with suspected dysphagia was 45.0%. Tooth loss and suspected dysphagia were significantly associated with low GOHAI scores. The EAT-10 score was significantly correlated with the GOHAI score only after adjusting for age and sex (β=-0.725, 95% CI:-0.97, -0.64). Conclusions In hospitalized psychiatric patients, impaired oral health in the older subjects was more pronounced compared with that among general adults. Tooth loss and swallowing function were associated with OHRQoL. Therefore, oral care for the recovery of occlusal and swallowing functions may be needed to improve OHRQoL among psychiatric patients.

Published: December 2020

Virola surinamensis is a forest species widely distributed in the estuaries of the Amazon. These ecosystems are susceptible to contamination by Cadmium (Cd), indicating that the plant has strategies for tolerating this metal. This study aimed to assess the nitrogen and carbon metabolism of young plants of Ucuúba (Virola surinamensis) in the presence of cadmium with the perspective of the phytoremediation of contaminated environments. The experimental design was completely randomized with five Cd concentrations (0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 mg L−1) for 60 days. In general, Cd did not affect nitrate concentration in the root but had a positive effect on leaves. The reduction of nitrate reductase (NR) in plants exposed to Cd was followed by a decrease in ammonia, total soluble amino acids (TSA), and total soluble proteins (TSP). Cd promoted an increase in total soluble carbohydrates (TSC), proline, sucrose, and reducing sugars in the plants. The increase in TSC, sucrose and proline suggests a metabolic regulatory mechanism of V. surinamensis against Cd stress.
Genome-Wide Identification and Functional Characterization of the PheE2F/DP Gene Family in Moso Bamboo
Authors: Li Long , Shi Qianqian , Li Zhouqi , Gao Jian
Published: December 2020

Background E2F/DP proteins have been shown to regulate genes implicated in cell cycle control and DNA repair. However, to date, research into the potential role of the Moso bamboo E2F/DP family has been limited.Results Here, we identified 23 E2F/DPs in the Moso bamboo genome, including nine E2F genes, six DP genes, eight DEL genes and one gene with a partial E2F domain. An estimation of the divergence time of the paralogous gene pairs suggested that the E2F/DP family expansion primarily occurred through a whole-genome duplication event. A regulatory element and coexpression network analysis indicated that E2F/DP regulated the expression of cell cycle-related genes. A yeast two-hybrid assay and expression analysis based on transcriptome data and in situ hybridization indicated that the PheE2F-PheDP complex played important roles in winter Moso bamboo shoot growth. The qRT-PCR results showed that the PheE2F/DPs exhibited diverse expression patterns in response to drought and salt treatment and diurnal cycles. Conclusion Our findings provide novel insights into the Moso bamboo E2F/DP family and partial experimental evidence for further functional verification of the PheE2F/DPs.
Palliative Care Needs among Patients with Advanced Illnesses in Bhutan
Authors: Laabar Tara Devi , Saunders Christobel , Auret Kirsten , Johnson Claire E
Published: December 2020

Background: Palliative care improves the quality of lives of patients and families affected by advanced illnesses through the prevention and relief of suffering. While palliative care is well established in developed countries, it is inadequate or non-existent in most developing countries. Palliative care is an emerging concept in Bhutan, a tiny Himalayan Kingdom. A small community palliative care service is available in the national referral hospital with three dedicated inpatient palliative care beds. This study explored the needs for palliative care among patients diagnosed with advanced illnesses and is a component of a larger project aimed to inform a suitable palliative care model for the country. Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. A survey, using a structured questionnaire including the EORTC QLQ-C30, was carried out among patients with advanced illness in hospitals, primary care units and communities across the country. Purposeful and snowball sampling strategies were used to recruit study participants. Results: Seventy (76%), out of 93 eligible patients, agreed to participate in the survey. Participants reported low to moderate scores on physical, role, emotional, cognitive and social functioning, a moderate score for the global health/ quality of life scale and moderately high (worse) scores in symptoms including fatigue, pain, insomnia, loss of appetite and the financial impact from the disease. Conclusions: The symptom burden experienced by patients affected by advanced illnesses demonstrates the need for palliative care in Bhutan. These findings will help inform the development of a public health-focused palliative care model, modified to the Bhutanese context, as recommended by the World Health Organization.
Prerequisites for the formation of a social security philosophy in pre-revolutionary Russia and the Soviet Union
Authors:   Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School named after Marshal of the Soviet Union K.K.Rokossovsky, Kononov S.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of the formation of the social security philosophy on the territory of the Russian state, where, as the authors show, the ideas about the need to ensure a decent level of existence for the individual and society have already been known since the beginning of the XIX century. The aim of the article is to trace how the understanding of security has changed in Russian science. The article uses the method of phenomenological and comparative analysis, with the help of which the study of domestic security concepts was carried out. The first task posed by the authors is to consider the discussion about safe development among pre-revolutionary authors, the result of which was the formation of an idea about the special role of the Russian state in ensuring the security of society. The second task is to consider the Soviet concept of security, centered round the concept of a state system for providing armed protection against external enemies. As the authors have shown, this concept was characterized by the refusal to take into account the influence of social, economic and spiritual factors of security. The third task was to analyze the post-Soviet concept of security, within which the relationship between society and the state was rethought, which ceased to interfere indefinitely in the social and personal spheres of life and rejected a simplified understanding of the problem of ensuring security, which for a long time was considered only as counteraction to external threats

Published: December 2020

Die Untersuchungen wurden im Weinbaugebiet (Vrancea) durchgeführt. Während der vier Jahre (2000-2003) wurde das vom Rebenstecher (Byctiscus betulae) stark belastete Gebiet in jeweils 3 bis 4 Wochen Abstand aufgesucht. - Der Befall wurde an 12 Weinsorten geprüft, wobei jeweils an 6 Stellen die Blattrollen und die Anzahl der Adulti gezählt wurden. Insgesamt wurden 728 Blattrollen und 452 Adulti ermittelt (am 05.05.2000). Zur Untersuchung der Ei- und Larvenstadien wurden im Jahre 2000 auf dem Odobeti-Weingut, arba-Berg, 766 Blattrollen gesammelt, aus denen 534 normale Eier, 392 parasitierte Eier, 179 neonate Larven, 1274 L1-Larven, 898 L2-Larven und 6 L3-Larven gezogen wurden. Der reduzierte Anteil an L3-Larven lässt vermuten (bzw. bestätigt), dass die Entwicklung des letzten Larvenstadiums von Byctiscus betulae im Boden stattfindet. - In den Jahren 2000 und 2001 wurden 65 Bodenproben zwischen den Teststellen der Weinsorte Aligote am arba-Berg (Odobeti, Vrancea) geprüft, aber keine Puppenhüllen von Byctiscus betulae gefunden. Solche wurden 2002 erst im Labor gefunden. Im Experiment wurde der erste Adultus im Feuchtegradienten eine Woche nach der ersten Puppe ermittelt. Die Puppe ist offenbar stenohygrisch, denn wir fanden sie ausschließlich bei ca. 50-55% relativer Feuchte.

Königinnen von 12 Taxa der Untergattung Bombus sensu stricto (Bombus affinis, B. albocinctus, B. cryptarum, B. lucorum, B. magnus, B. moderatus, B. occidentalis, B. patagiatus, B. sporadicus, B. terrestris, B. terricola and B. tunicatus) wurden im Frühjahr gefangen, um künstliche Kolonien zu züchten. Zusätzlich wurden Männchen von B. franklini und B. lucorum/China gefangen. Mitochondriale Cytochrome Oxidase Untereinheit I (COI) von 53 Proben wurde sequenziert (Teilsequenzen der Länge 1257 bp). GenBank Sequenzen der Ostasiatischen Arten B. hypocrita, B. ignitus und B. lucorum/China wurden einbezogen. Der Unterschied zwischen den Arten beträgt 30 – 92 Basen-Substitutionen und die Tamura-Nei genetische Distanz 0.030-0.103, während der Unterschied innerhalb der Arten nur 1 – 3 Basensubstitution beträgt und die Tamura-Nei genetische Distanz nur 0.001-0.003. Dreizehn Taxa mit Artrang sowie eine neue Art B. minshanicola Bischoff 1936 (= B. terrestris ssp. minshanicola = B. lucorum/China) wurden nachgewiesen. In der Topologie des phylogenetischen Stammbaums gibt es 4 Cluster: ein Artenpaar B. sporadicus – B. ignitus und ein Artenpaar B. terricola – B. occidentalis, ein Cluster für B. magnus, B. patagiatus and B. cryptarum mit den Subspecies B. cryptarum albocinctus und B. cryptarum moderatus sowie ein Cluster für B. hypocrita, B. lucorum, B. minshanicola, B. franklini and B. affinis. Die Arten B. terrestris mit den Subspecies B. terrestris canariensis und B. terrestris sassaricus sowie B. tunicatus sind einzeln abgetrennt. Da sich im Alignment der COI Sequenzen keine Lücken finden, können die einzelnen Nucleotid-Positionen als homolog betrachtet werden. Jede Art besitzt eine Reihe einzigartiger (‘privater’) Positionen, die als diagnostische Merkmale benutzt werden können um die Art zu definieren und zu identifizieren.
Phylogeny and classification of the Sciaroidea (Diptera: Bibionomorpha): Where do we stand after Amorim & Rindal (2007)?
Authors: Jaschhof Mathias
Published: December 2020

Eine Publikation zur Phylogenie der Sciaroidea von D. Amorim und E. Rindal aus dem Jahr 2007 wird besprochen. Die phylogenetische Hypothese, die die Autoren aus ihrer quantitativen morphologischen Analyse abgeleitet haben, wird von ihnen benutzt, um eine Neuklassifikation der Sciaroidea vorzuschlagen. Diese unterscheidet sich grundlegend von bisherigen Klassifikationen. In der vorliegenden Besprechung wird an Beispielen aufgezeigt, dass die von Amorim und Rindal benutzte Merkmalsmatrix auf verheerende Weise fehlerhaft ist, sowohl was die eingesetzten Taxa als auch die verwendeten Merkmale betrifft. Im Ergebnis muss festgestellt werden, dass diese Verwandtschaftsanalyse nicht wiederholbar und die daraus resultierende Verwandtschaftshypothese weder nachprüfbar noch widerlegbar ist. Deshalb wird nahegelegt, die in Rede stehende Publikation nicht zur Begründung etwaiger Änderungen an der bestehenden Sciaroidea-Klassifikation heranzuziehen.StichwörterDiptera, Sciaroidea, phylogeny, family classification, review.

Published: December 2020

Mikrolepidopteren gehörten seit der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts zum Gegenstand entomologischer Forschung in Eberswalde. Zentren der Forschung waren zunächst die Forstlichen Lehranstalten und Institute, später auch das Deutsche Entomologische Institut. Außerdem war die Eberswalder Gegend stets Anziehungspunkt für viele Mikrolepidopteren-Spezialisten, die nicht an einschlägigen wissenschaftlichen Instituten arbeiteten.In der vorgelegten Arbeit werden die Forschungsergebnisse aus der Vergangenheit regionalfaunistisch ausgewertet und durch Ergebnisse aktueller faunistischer Forschungen zu einem Verzeichnis der Microlepidoptera der Diluviallandschaften um Eberswalde ergänzt. Das Verzeichnis umfasst mit 863 Arten aus 47 Familien 57 % der im Land Brandenburg nachgewiesenen Mikrolepidopteren-Arten, darunter ein Neufund für Deutschland: Clepsis coriacanus; 13 Neufunde für das Land Brandenburg: Coleophora adjectella, Colephora sylvaticella, Coleophora ramosella, Mompha terminella, Monochroa arundinetella, Bryotropha umbrosella, Anarsia innoxiella, Telephila schmidtiellus, Cydia gemmiferana, Acrobasis legatea, Pammene herrichiana, Pammene ignorata, Schreckensteinia festaliella; und 45 Wiederfunde im Land Brandenburg. Die Autoren konnten 332 Arten erstmals im Eberswalder Raum nachweisen. Für 531 Arten wurden ältere/historische Nachweise ausgewertet. Das Vorkommen von 408 dieser Arten konnte bestätigt werden.Die Funddaten sind tabellarisch dargestellt und sowohl Naturräumen des Gebietes als auch Messtischblättern zugeordnet.

Diospyro-Khayetalia senegalensis ord. nov. dans le Parc Régional du W du fleuve Niger
Authors: Mahamane Ali , Mahamane Saadou , Lejoly Jean
Published: December 2020

Les végétations arbustives des voisinages des cours d’eau ont été étudiées à partir de 34 relevés phytosociologiques réalisés entre septembre 2001 et décembre 2003, en utilisant la méthode phytosociologique de Braun Blanquet. Deux associations végétales en sont décrites: Feretio-Khayetum senegalensis et Celtido-Diospyroetum mespiliformis. Une alliance nouvelle et un ordre nouveau sont créés pour les regrouper. Il s’agit du Feretio-Khayion senegalensis et du Diospyro-Khayetalia senegalensis. Cet ordre rassemble les groupements vallicoles de la zone de transition soudano sahélienne et est considéré comme vicariante géographique du Pterygotetalia Lebrun et Gilbert 1954. Aussi, le Diospyro-Khayion senegalensis all. nov est consirédéré comme vicariante géographique du Khayo-Pterygotion Schmitz 1950 et du Psychotrio-Tecleion Schmitz 1971.
Archaeobotanical Research of the SFB 268 in West Africa
Authors: Neumann Katharina
Published: December 2020

An overview over 20 years of archaeobotanical studies in West Africa is given. The Holocene vegetation history of the West African savannahs and the development of plant cultivation were major research topics. The existence of climatically induced savannahs throughout the Holocene could be confirmed. Archaeobotanical data indicate the late emergence of agriculture around 2000 BC and the development of a cultural landscape in the course of the last 2000 years.
The vegetation of recently fallowed Masakwa fields in the Chad basin
Authors: Ataholo Mandingo , Wittig Rüdiger
Published: December 2020

On the clay plains surrounding Lake Chad (West Africa: northern Sudanian and southern Sahelian zone), certain varieties of pearl millet (Sorghum bicolor), commonly referred to as Masakwa, are cultivated during the dry season. Recently fallowed Masakwa fields support a particular progression of pioneer vegetation. In the first year of fallow, the pioneer vegetation typically belongs to the class Echinochloetea colonae Wittig 2005 and can be classified as Hygrophiletum auriculatae sensu lato. Approximately half of the stands consist of the Hygrophiletum auriculatae Ataholo 2002 sensu stricto, whereas the other half is primarily composed of a Celosia argentea-Hibiscus trionum community. After two years of fallow, the vegetation is typically formed by the Sorghetum arundinacei Ataholo 2002, which, in a few cases, can also occur in the first fallow year.
Caractérisation structurale de la végétation ligneuse du Parc National de Mozogo-Gokoro (Cameroun)
Authors: Sandjong Rodrigue Constant Sani , Ntoupka Mama , Vroumsia Toua , Ibrahima Adamou
Published: December 2020

La gestion forestière durable est étroitement dépendante de la compréhension de la dynamique structurale. Cette étude vise la description de la structure de la végétation ligneuse du Parc National de Mozogo-Gokoro, situé en zone soudano- sahélienne au Cameroun. À l’issue d’un inventaire floristique, prenant en compte tous les individus ligneux, les analyses ont porté sur les paramètres suivants: la structure diamétrale, les types de tiges, la répartition en classes de hauteurs, les types biologiques et les types végétatifs. Ces différentes formes de caractérisation ont prouvé globalement le vieillissement du peuplement. Les pourcentages des types végétatifs montrent une végétation dominée par les arbustes (63,12 %), mais avec une présence non négligeable de lianes (26,34 %) et d’arbres (10,54 %). À partir des tests de corrélations diamètres-hauteurs, le paramètre types de tiges, avec une domination des hautes (1521 tiges/ha) et moyennes tiges (733 tiges/ha), est démontré plus crédible dans l’étude de la structure intégrale de la végétation ligneuse. L’analyse structurale des espèces présente quant à elle des tendances, montrant l’importance de l’ensemble des paramètres et une divergence dans les pressions subies. En somme, dans le processus de gestion durable du parc, la régénération et la croissance des ligneux se manifestent comme une préoccupation concernant l’ensemble du peuplement, mais de façon plus ciblée suivant les espèces.

Published: December 2020

Cette étude avait pour objectifs : 1) d’identifier et de caractériser les acteurs impliqués dans la filière des produits à usage médicinal tirés de Cordyla pinnata, Detarium microcarpum et Detarium senegalense au Sénégal; 2) d’analyser l’organisation de cette filière et l’importance des parties utilisées ; 3) d’analyser la commercialisation de ces produits ; 4) d’identifier les forces, faiblesses, opportunités et menaces de la filière. L’échantillonnage en boule de neige a été utilisé et a permis d’interroger, à l’aide de guides d’entretien 13 tradipraticiens locaux, 3 récolteurs et 17 herboristes. Les résultats ont révélé que les acteurs de cette filière, majoritairement des hommes, entretenaient des relations de coopération et qu’ils bénéficiaient de l’appui de la société civile en termes de formation et d’organisation. Les racines et les écorces de Cordyla pinnata et Detarium microcarpum étaient plus utilisées tandis que celles de Detarium senegalense étaient peu commercialisées. Les écorces, les racines et les feuilles étaient vendues entre 0,11 et 0,29Euro/100g. Une partie des écorces était transformée en poudre avant d’être commercialisée chez les herboristes entre 1,05 Euro/100g (pour Cordyla pinnata) et 1,52 Euro/100g (Detarium microcarpum). Les prix étaient plus élevés à Dakar. Les parties tirées de Cordyla pinnata étaient essentiellement utilisés contre les parasitoses intestinales tandis que celles de Detarium microcarpum et dans une moindre mesure celles de Detarium senegalense servaient à soigner les dermatoses. Les faiblesses de cette filière concernaient essentiellement l’exploitation anarchique de la ressource et la raréfaction saisonnière de certains produits tandis que l’éloignement des sites d’approvisionnement menaçait son bon fonctionnement.

Seed Characterization and Relationships between Seed and Cotyledon Properties in Lagenaria spp. Accessions
Authors: Sari Nebahat , Silverman Emily , Reiland Danny , Wehner Todd C.
Published: December 2020

Bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.] is widely produced in some Asian and African countries as a fresh vegetable as well as for seed consumption. A major use of bottle gourd is for rootstocks in grafted watermelon production. There are several centers where bottle gourd genetic resources are maintained, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) germplasm collection being one of the most important. There is little published information on the relationship between seed morphology and the early establishment of seedlings in bottle gourd. The objective of this study was to determine seed characterization, morphology, and cotyledon shape in 163 Lagenaria spp. accessions and measure any relationship between seed and cotyledon characteristics. In USDA Lagenaria germplasm, it has been determined that the common character in seeds was medium in terms of seed size (53% of accessions), intermediate in seed surface lustre (39% of accessions), brown in seedcoat color (89% of accessions), thin and uniform in seed margin (35% of accessions), and tan in seed margin color (64% of accessions). According to the research results, seed weight ranged from 0.11 g (PI 500820) to 0.36 g (PI 675112), seed length from 13.17 mm (PI 500820) to 23.68 mm (PI 675112), and seed width from 5.86 (PI 500808) to 11.21 mm (PI 491274). Cotyledon length ranged from 5.46 cm (PI 368640) to 2.47 cm (PI 381850). The widest cotyledon was 3.00 cm (PI 534552), and the narrowest was 1.50 cm (PI 381831). Interesting correlations were observed for seed weight with seed length (R2 = 0.259), and cotyledon length with cotyledon width (R2 = 0.547).

Published: December 2020

Resistance test is a classical method used to study ship performance. In this study, the uncertainty of large-scale ship model resistance test in actual seas is analyzed. Considering the difference between these trials and traditional test in towing tanks, this study first uses the ITTC 2014 procedure based on GUM to calculate the systematic error in the test. The parameters that affect the test accuracy are also estimated. Then, the program based on the Monte Carlo method is verified, and the differences between the two methods are compared. In this study, the uncertainty sources in the test are quantitatively analyzed, and the results will be helpful for improving the ship model test scheme in actual seas.

Spectroscopic evidence for the Fe3+ spin transition in iron-bearing δ-AlOOH at high pressure

δ-AlOOH has emerged as a promising candidate for water storage in the lower mantle and could have delivered water into the bottom of the mantle. To date, it still remains unclear how the presence of iron affects its elastic, rheological, vibrational, and transport properties, especially across the spin crossover. Here, we conducted high-pressure X-ray emission spectroscopy experiments on a δ-(Al0.85Fe0.15) OOH sample up to 53 GPa using silicone oil as the pressure transmitting medium in a diamond-anvil cell. We also carried out laser Raman measurements on δ-(Al0.85Fe0.15)OOH and δ-(Al0.52Fe0.48)OOH up to 57 and 62 GPa, respectively, using neon as the pressure-transmitting medium. Evolution of Raman spectra of δ-(Al0.85Fe0.15)OOH with pressure shows two new bands at 226 and 632 cm−1 at 6.0 GPa, in agreement with the transition from an ordered (P21nm) to a disordered hydrogen bonding structure (Pnnm) for δ-AlOOH. Similarly, the two new Raman bands at 155 and 539 cm−1 appear in δ-(Al0.52Fe0.48)OOH between 8.5 and 15.8 GPa, indicating that the incorporation of 48 mol% FeOOH could postpone the order-disorder transition upon compression. On the other hand, the satellite peak (Kβ′) intensity of δ-(Al0.85Fe0.15)OOH starts to decrease at ~30 GPa and it disappears completely at 42 GPa. That is, δ-(Al0.85Fe0.15)OOH undergoes a gradual electronic spin-pairing transition at 30–42 GPa. Furthermore, the pressure dependence of Raman shifts of δ-(Al0.85Fe0.15)OOH discontinuously decreases at 32–37 GPa, suggesting that the improved hydrostaticity by the use of neon pressure medium could lead to a relatively narrow spin crossover. Notably, the pressure dependence of Raman shifts and optical color of δ-(Al0.52Fe0.48)OOH dramatically change at 41–45 GPa, suggesting that it probably undergoes a relatively sharp spin transition in the neon pressure medium. Together with literature data on the solid solutions between δ-AlOOH and ε-FeOOH, we found that the onset pressure of the spin transition in δ-(Al,Fe)OOH increases with increasing FeOOH content. These results shed new insights into the effects of iron on the structural evolution and vibrational properties of δ-AlOOH. The presence of FeOOH in δ-AlOOH can substantially influence its high-pressure behavior and stability at the deep mantle conditions and play an important role in the deep-water cycle.
