| 3 | Contribution and underlying mechanisms of CXCR4 overexpression in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus显示文摘Aberrant expression of CXCR4 has been indicated to play a role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE),but the mechanism of CXCR4 dysregulation in SLE is unclear.This study is aimed to explore the clinical significance and possible mechanisms of abnormal CXCR4 expression on B cells from patients with untreated SLE.Expression of CXCR4 on peripheral B cells was determined by flow cytometry and western blotting.Freshly isolated B cells were cultured with exogenous interleukin 21(IL-21)in the presence or absence of CD40 ligand(CD40L)plus anti-IgM antibody(aIgM),and changes in CXCR4 expression were detected.Involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K)/Akt and Janus kinase/Signal transducer and activator of transcription(JAK/STAT)signaling pathways was assessed by adding blocking agents Ly294002 and AG490.Since CD63 is reported to mediate endosomal recruitment of CXCR4 and BCL6 is capable of silencing CD63 gene transcription,we also measured BCL6 and CD63 gene transcription with real-time PCR.It was shown that CXCR4 expression on B cells was significantly upregulated in SLE patients,especially in those with lupus nephritis,and was positively correlated with SLE Disease Activity Index scores and negatively with the serum complement 3 levels(Po0.05).Downregulation of CXCR4 by IL-21 was intact.In contrast,a similar effect of aIgM plus CD40L in downregulating CXCR4 expression was defective in SLE patients but was restored by co-stimulation with IL-21 in vitro.Both Ly294002 and AG490 promoted downregulation of surface CXCR4 expression on B cells from SLE patients(P=0.078 and P=0.064).Furthermore,B cells from SLE patients exhibited diminished CD63 mRNA and enhanced BCL6 mRNA expression(both Po0.05).To sum up,CXCR4 was overexpressed on SLE B cells,positively correlating with disease activity and kidney involvement.Overactivation of the PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT pathways as well as defective CD63 synthesis may contribute to CXCR4 dysregulation in SLE. | Li-dan Zhao Di Liang Xiang-ni Wu Yang Li Jing-wen Niu Chen Zhou Li Wang Hua Chen Wen-jie Zheng Yun-yun Fei Fu-lin Tang Yong-zhe Li Feng-chun Zhang Wei He Xue-tao Cao Xuan Zhang | 2017 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2017,14,10: | 10 |
| 4 | Simulated Microgravity Conditions and Carbon Ion Irradiation Induce Spermatogenic Cell Apoptosis and Sperm DNA Damage显示文摘Objective To investigate the effect of simulated microgravity and carbon ion irradiation(CIR) on spermatogenic cell apoptosis and sperm DNA damage to the testis of male Swiss Webster mice,and assess the risk associated with space environment.Methods Sperm DNA damage indicated by DNA fragmentation index(DFI) and high DNA stainability(HDS) was measured by sperm chromatin structure assay(SCSA).Apoptosis of spermatogenic cells was detected by annexin V-propidium iodide assay.Bax(the expression levels of p53) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) were measured by immunoblotting;p53 and PCNA were located by immunohistology.Results HDS,DFI,apoptosis index,and the expression levels of p53 and Bax were detected to be significantly higher in the experimental groups(P<0.05) compared with those in the control group;however,the PCNA expression varied to a certain degree.p53-and PCNA-positive expression were detected in each group,mainly in relation to the spermatogonic cells and spermatocytes.Conclusion The findings of the present study demonstrated that simulated microgravity and CIR can induce spermatogenic cell apoptosis and sperm DNA damage.Sperm DNA damage may be one of the underlying mechanisms behind male fertility decline under space environment.These findings may provide a scientific basis for protecting astronauts and space traveler's health and safety. | LI Hong Yan ZHANG Hong MIAO Guo Ying XIE Yi SUN Chao DI Cui Xia LIU Yang LIU Yuan Yuan ZHANG Xin MA Xiao Fei XU Shuai GAN Lu ZHOU Xin | 2013 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2013,26,9: | 10 |
| 5 | Rebalancing of the gut flora and microbial metabolism is responsible for the anti-arthritis effect of kaempferol显示文摘Kaempferol is a natural flavonol that possesses various pharmacological activities,including anti-arthritis effects,yet the underlying mechanisms remain controversial.To evaluate the anti-arthritis efficacy and the underlying mechanisms of kaempferol,collagen-induced arthritis(CIA)mice were treated with kaempferol intragastrically(200 mg·kg^−1·d^−1)and intraperitoneally(20 mg·kg^−1·d^−1).Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies showed that the oral administration of kaempferol produced distinct anti-arthritis effects in model mice with arthritis in terms of the spleen index,arthritis index,paw thickness,and inflammatory factors;the bioavailability(1.5%,relative to that of the intraperitoneal injection)and circulatory exposure of kaempferol(Cmax=0.23±0.06 ng/mL)and its primary metabolite kaempferol-3-O-glucuronide(Cmax=233.29±89.64 ng/mL)were rather low.In contrast,the intraperitoneal injection of kaempferol caused marginal anti-arthritis effects,although it achieved a much higher in vivo exposure.The much higher kaempferol content in the gut implicated a potential mechanism involved in the gut.Analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA revealed that CIA caused imbalance of 14 types of bacteria at the family level,whereas kaempferol largely rebalanced the intestinal microbiota in CIA mice.A metabolomics study showed that kaempferol treatment significantly reversed the perturbation of metabolites involved in energy production and the tryptophan,fatty acid and secondary bile acid metabolisms in the gut contents of the CIA mice.In conclusion,we demonstrate for the first time that the high level of kaempferol in the gut regulates the intestinal flora and microbiotic metabolism,which are potentially responsible for the anti-arthritis activities of kaempferol. | Li-xiang Aa Fei Fei Qi Qi Run-bin Sun Sheng-hua Gu Zi-zhen Di Ji-ye Aa Guang-ji Wang Chang-xiao Liu | 2020 | Acta Pharmacologica Sinica2020,41,1: | 9 |
| 6 | Influence of Chromium on Corrosion Behavior of Low-alloy Steel in Cargo Oil Tank O_2-CO_2-SO_2-H_2S Wet Gas Environment显示文摘As international maritime organization(IMO)draft 289 was adopted to develop a low-alloy anti-corrosion steel for the deck of cargo oil tank and to understand corrosion mechanism,corrosion behavior of a low-alloy steel with chromium contents was studied in O2-CO2-SO2-H2 S wet gas environment.Corrosion rate was measured,and the microstructure and morphology of corrosion product film were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The phase and chemical composition of the corrosion product film were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS),respectively.The effect of misorientation distribution on corrosion resistance of steel was evaluated by electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).The results showed that corrosion rate decreased with increasing chromium content in the low-alloy steel,and the corrosion type was general corrosion.The phenomenon of chromium enrichment was found in corrosion product film consisting ofα-FeOOH,γ-FeOOH,sulphur,FeS2 and Fe1-xS.The increase of chromium content decreases the amount of high-angle grain boundaries,thus resulting in the improvement of corrosion resistance. | Peng ZHOU Jin-ming LIANG Fei ZHANG Hui-bin WU Di TANG | 2015 | Journal of Iron and Steel Research(International)2015,22,7: | 9 |
| 7 | Fluorescence regional integration and differential fluorescence spectroscopy for analysis of structural characteristics and proton binding properties of fulvic acid sub-fractions显示文摘Structural characteristics and proton binding properties of sub-fractions(FA3–FA13) of fulvic acid(FA), eluted stepwise by pyrophosphate buffer were examined by use of fluorescence titration combined with fluorescence regional integration(FRI) and differential fluorescence spectroscopy(DFS). Humic-like(H-L) and fulvic-like(F-L) materials, which accounted for more than 80% of fluorescence response, were dominant in five sub-fractions of FA. Based on FRI analysis, except the response of F-L materials in FA9 and FA13, maximum changes in percent fluorescence response were less than 10% as pH was increased from 2.5 to 11.5.Contents of carboxylic and phenolic groups were compared for fluorescence peaks of FA sub-fractions based on pH-dependent fluorescence derived from DFS. Static quenching was the dominant mechanism for binding of protons by FA sub-fractions. Dissociation constants(p Ka) were calculated by use of results of DFS and the modified Stern-Volmer relationship. The p Kaof H-L, F-L, tryptophan-like and tyrosine-like materials of FA subfractions exhibited ranges of 3.17–4.06, 3.12–3.97, 4.14–4.45 and 4.25–4.76, respectively, for acidic pHs. At basic pHs, values of p Ka for corresponding materials were in ranges of 9.71–10.24, 9.62–10.99, 9.67–10.31 and 9.33–10.28, respectively. At acidic pH, protein-like(P-L)materials had greater affinities for protons than did either H-L or F-L materials. The dicarboxylic and phenolic groups were likely predominant sites of protonation for both H-L and F-L materials at both acidic and basic pHs. Amino acid groups were significant factors during proton binding to protein-like materials of FA sub-fractions at basic pH. | Fanhao Song Fengchang Wu Weiying Feng Zhi Tang John P.Giesy Fei Guo Di Shi Xiaofei Liu Ning Qin Baoshan Xing Yingchen Bai | 2018 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2018,30,12: | 9 |
| 8 | Impact of an innovative tuberculosis financing and payment model on health service utilization by tuberculosis patients in China:do the poor fare better than the rich?显示文摘Background:Tuberculosis(TB)prevalence is closely associated with poverty in China,and poor patients face more barriers to treatment.Using an insurance-based approach,the China-Gates TB program Phase II was implemented between 2012 and 2014 in three cities in China to improve access to TB care and reduce the financial burden on patients,particularly among the poor.This study aims to assess the program effects on service use,and its equity impact across different income groups.Methods:Data from 788 and 775 patients at baseline and final evaluation were available for analysis respectively.Inpatient and outpatient service utilization,treatment adherence,and patient satisfaction were assessed before and after the program,across different income groups(extreme poverty,moderate poverty and non-poverty),and in various program cities,using descriptive statistics and multi-variate regression models.Key stakeholder interviews were conducted to qualitatively evaluate program implementation and impacts.Results:After program implementation,the hospital admission rate increased more for the extreme poverty group(48.5 to 70.7%)and moderate poverty group(45.0 to 68.1%),compared to the non-poverty group(52.9 to 643%).The largest increase in the number of outpatient visits was also for the extreme poverty group(4.6 to 5.7).The proportion of patients with good medication adherence increased by 15 percentage points in the extreme poverty group and by ten percentage points in the other groups.Satisfaction rates were high in all groups.Qualitative feedback from stakeholders also suggested that increased reimbursement rates,easier reimbursement procedures,and allowance improved patients'service utilization.Implementation of case-based payment made service provision more compliant to clinical pathways.Conclusion:Patients in extreme or moderate poverty benefited more from the program compared to a non-poverty group,indicating improved equity in TB service access.The pro-poor design of the program provides important丨essons to other TB programs in China and other countries to better address TB care for the poor. | Di Dong Wei-Xi Jiang Qian Long Fei Huang Hui Zhang Jia-Ying Chen Li Xiang Qiang Li Sheng-Lan Tang Henry Lucas | 2019 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2019,8,3: | 8 |
| 9 | Receptome profiling identifies KREMEN1 and ASGR1 as alternative functional receptors of SARS-CoV-2显示文摘Host cellular receptors play key roles in the determination of virus tropism and pathogenesis.However,little is known about SARS-CoV-2 host receptors with the exception of ACE2.Furthermore,ACE2 alone cannot explain the multi-organ tropism of SARS-CoV-2 nor the clinical differences between SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV,suggesting the involvement of other receptor(s).Here,we performed genomic receptor profiling to screen 5054 human membrane proteins individually for interaction with the SARS-CoV-2 capsid spike(S)protein.Twelve proteins,including ACE2,ASGR1,and KREMEN1,were identified with diverse S-binding affinities and patterns.ASGR1 or KREMEN1 is sufficient for the entry of SARS-CoV-2 but not SARS-CoV in vitro and in vivo.SARS-CoV-2 utilizes distinct ACE2/ASGR1/KREMEN1(ASK)receptor combinations to enter different cell types,and the expression of ASK together displays a markedly stronger correlation with virus susceptibility than that of any individual receptor at both the cell and tissue levels.The cocktail of ASK-related neutralizing antibodies provides the most substantial blockage of SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung organoids when compared to individual antibodies.Our study revealed an interacting host receptome of SARS-CoV-2,and identified ASGR1 and KREMEN1 as alternative functional receptors that play essential roles in ACE2-independent virus entry,providing insight into SARS-CoV-2 tropism and pathogenesis,as well as a community resource and potential therapeutic strategies for further COVID-19 investigations. | Yunqing Gu Jun Cao Xinyu Zhang Hai Gao Yuyan Wang Jia Wang Juan He Xiaoyi Jiang Jinlan Zhang Guanghui Shen Jie Yang Xichen Zheng Gaowei Hu Yuanfei Zhu Shujuan Du Yunkai Zhu Rong Zhang Jianqing Xu Fei Lan Di Qu Guoliang Xu Yun Zhao Dong Gao Youhua Xie Min Luo Zhigang Lu | 2022 | Cell Research2022,32,1: | 8 |
| 10 | Ergodic secrecy rate of two-user MISO interference channels with statistical CSI显示文摘This paper considers a two-user multiple-input single-output(MISO) interference channel with confidential messages(IFC-CM), where the beamforming vectors at the two transmitters are jointly optimized using the closed-form Pareto-optimal parameterization. We prove that artificial noise cannot improve the secrecy rate performance, and coordinated beamforming is secrecy-rate optimal which is achieved by agreeing on the parameters between the two transmitters. We analyze the feasible set of the beamforming parameters that guarantees positiveness of the secrecy rates when the transmitters know only statistical CSI, and then analysis in the ergodic secrecy rate region is discussed. More importantly, we derive the closed form of the ergodic secrecy rates and illustrate the Pareto-optimal structure of the beamforming vectors. | FEI ZeSong NI JiQing ZHAO Di XING ChengWen WANG NiWei KUANG JingMing | 2014 | Science China(Information Sciences)2014,57,10: | 7 |

| 13 | Sequential therapy according to distinct disease progression patterns in advanced ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer after crizotinib treatment显示文摘Objective: Crizotinib is recommended as the first-line therapy for advanced anaplastic lymphoma kinase(ALK)-positive non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Despite its initial efficacy, patients ultimately acquire resistance to crizotinib within 1 year. In such patients, the optimal sequential therapy after crizotinib treatment remains unknown. This study explored which sequential therapy option confers the greatest benefit.Methods: A total of 138 patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC resistant to crizotinib were studied. Based on patterns of disease progression of metastases, patients were divided into 3 groups: brain progression, non-liver progression, and liver progression. Sequential therapies included crizotinib continuation plus local therapy, nextgeneration ALK inhibitors(ALKi's), and chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was overall survival(OS) from the time of crizotinib resistance to death or last follow-up.Results: The 138 patients included 64 cases with progression in brain, 57 cases in non-liver sites and 17 cases in liver. A significant difference in OS was observed among the distinct progression pattern(median OS, 25.4 months in brain, 15.8 months in non-liver, and 10.8 months in liver, respectively, P=0.020). The difference in OS among sequential therapies was statistically significant in the non-liver progression group(median OS, 27.6 months with next-generation ALKi's, 13.3 months with crizotinib continuation, and 10.8 months with chemotherapy,respectively, P=0.019). However, crizotinib continuation plus local therapy seems to provide non-inferior median OS compared with next-generation ALKi's for patients with brain progression(median OS, 28.9 months vs.32.8 months, P=0.204). And no significant differences in OS were found in patients with progression in liver(P=0.061).Conclusions: Crizotinib continuation together with local therapy might be a feasible strategy for patients with progression in brain beyond crizotinib resistance, as well as next-generation ALKi's. Next-generation ALKi's tended to provide a survival benefit in patients with non-liver progression. | Haiyan Xu Di Ma Guangjian Yang Junling Li Xuezhi Hao Puyuan Xing Lu Yang Fei Xu Yan Wang | 2019 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2019,31,2: | 6 |
| 14 | Reduced-order Modeling and Dynamic Stability Analysis of MTDC Systems in DC Voltage Control Timescale显示文摘An equivalent source-load MTDC system including DC voltage control units,power control units and interconnected DC lines is considered in this paper,which can be regarded as a generic structure of low-voltage DC microgrids,mediumvoltage DC distribution systems or HVDC transmission systems with a common DC bus.A reduced-order model is proposed with a circuit structure of a resistor,inductor and capacitor in parallel for dynamic stability analysis of the system in DC voltage control timescale.The relationship between control parameters and physical parameters of the equivalent circuit can be found,which provides an intuitive insight into the physical meaning of control parameters.Employing this model,a second-order characteristic equation is further derived to investigate system dynamic stability mechanisms in an analytical approach.As a result,the system oscillation frequency and damping are characterized in a straight forward manner,and the role of electrical and control parameters and different system-level control strategies in system dynamic stability in DC voltage control timescale is defined.The effectiveness of the proposed reduced-order model and the correctness of the theoretical analysis are verified by simulation based on PSCAD/EMTDC and an experiment based on a hardware low-voltage MTDC system platform. | Li Guo Pengfei Li Xialin Li Fei Gao Di Huang Chengshan Wang | 2020 | CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems2020,6,3: | 5 |
| 15 | Hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus in bile duct:A proposal of new classification according to resectability of primary lesion显示文摘BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)with tumor thrombus in the bile duct(BDTT)is easily misdiagnosed or mistreated due to the clinicopathological diversity of the thrombus and its relationship with primary lesions.AIM To propose a new classification for HCC with BDTT in order to guide its diagnosis and treatment.METHODS A retrospective review of the diagnosis and treatment experience regarding seven typical HCC patients with BDTT between January 2010 and December 2019 was conducted.RESULTS BDTT was preoperatively confirmed by computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging in only four patients.Three patients with recurrent HCC and one patient with first-occurring HCC had no visible intrahepatic tumors;of these,misdiagnosis occurred in two patients,and three patients died.One patient was mistreated as having common bile duct stones,and another patient with a history of multiple recurrent HCC was misdiagnosed until obvious biliary dilation could be detected.Only one patient who received hepatectomy accompanied by BDTT extraction exhibited disease-free survival during the follow-up period.A new classification was proposed for HCC with BDTT as follows:HCC with microscopic BDTT(Type Ⅰ);resectable primary or recurrent HCC mass in the liver with BDTT(Type Ⅱ);BDTT without an obvious HCC mass in the liver(Type Ⅲ)and BDTT accompanied with unresectable intra-or extrahepatic HCC lesions(Type Ⅳ).CONCLUSION We herein propose a new classification system for HCC with BDTT to reflect its pathological characteristics and emphasize the significance of primary tumor resectability in its treatment. | Di Zhou Gang-Feng Hu Wei-Chen Gao Xiao-Yu Zhang Wen-Bin Guan Jian-Dong Wang Fei Ma | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,44: | 4 |
| 16 | Impact of an innovative financing and payment model on tuberculosis patients'financial burden:is tuberculosis care more affordable for the poor?显示文摘Background:In response to the high financial burden of health services facing tuberculosis(TB)patients in China,the China-Gates TB project,PhaseⅡ,has implemented a new financing and payment model as an important component of the overall project in three cities in eastern,central and western China.The model focuses on increasing the reimbursement rate for TB patients and reforming provider payment methods by replacing fee-for-service with a case-based payment approach.This study investigated changes in out-of-pocket(OOP)health expenditure and the financial burden on TB patients before and after the interventions,with a focus on potential differential impacts on patients from different income groups.Methods:Three sample counties in each of the three prefectures:Zhenjiang,Yichang and Hanzhong were chosen as study sites.TB patients who started and completed treatment before,and during the intervention period,were randomly sampled and surveyed at the baseline in 2013 and final evaluation in 2015 respectively.OOP health expenditure and percentage of patients incurring catastrophic health expenditure(CHE)were calculated for different income groups.OLS regression and Iogit regression were conducted to explore the intervention's impacts on patient OOP health expenditure and financial burden after adjusting for other covariates.Key-informant interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to understand the reasons for any observed changes.Results:Data from 738(baseline)and 735(evaluation)patients were available for analysis.Patient mean OOP health expenditure increased from RMB 3576 to RMB 5791,and the percentage of patients incurring CHE also increased after intervention.The percentage increase in OOP health expenditure and the likelihood of incurring CHE were significantly lower for patients from the highest income group as compared to the lowest.Qualitative findings indicated that increased use of health services not covered by the standard package of the model was likely to have caused the increase in financial burden.Conclusions:The implementation of the new financing and payment model did not protect patients,especially those from the lowest income group,from financial difficulty,due partly to their increased use of health service.More financial resources should be mobilized to increase financial protection,particularly for poor patients,while cost containment strategies need to be developed and effectively implemented to improve the effective coverage of essential healthcare in China. | Wei-Xi Jiang Qian Long Henry Lucas Di Dong Jia-Ying Chen Li Xiang Qiang Li Fei Huang Hong Wang Chris Elbers Frank Cobelens Sheng-Lan Tang | 2019 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2019,8,2: | 4 |
| 17 | Molecular and Epidemiological Characterization of Infant Botulism in Beijing, China显示文摘Laboratory-based pathogen isolation, identification, and toxicity determination were performed on samples from a suspected case of infant botulism. Mice injected with cultures generated from the enema sample and ingested Powered infant formula(PIF) presented typical signs of botulism. Antitoxins to polyvalent botulinum neurotoxins(BoNTs) and monovalent BoNT type B antitoxin had protective effects. Clostridium botulinum isolated from the enema and residual PIF samples were positive for type B toxin. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) revealed that the two strains of C. botulinum isolated from the two samples produced indistinguishable pulsotypes. These findings confirmed this case of type B infant botulism associated with the ingestion of PIF contaminated by type B C. botulinum spores. | DONG Yin Ping WANG Wei JIANG Tao XU Jin HAN Chun Hui YAN Shao Fei Séamus Fanning LI Ying MA Xiao Chen ZHANG Di ZHAO Yao ZENG Biao LI Feng Qin | 2017 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2017,30,6: | 4 |

| 19 | A FLUID MECHANICS MODEL OF TISSUE FLUID FLOW IN LIMB CONNECTIVE TISSUE——A MECHANISM OF ACUPUNCTURE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION显示文摘This article explores the mechanisms of acupuncture meridians by determining characteristics of the tissue fluid flow in the connective tissue along meridians. Based on deep dissection of acupoints on the upper and lower limbs of the human body and micro and macro observation and measurement, a mathematical model of the flow of tissue fluid in interosseous membranes is constructed. It is shown that the signal transmission along acupuncture meridians may be determined by unique anatomical and physiological factors that govern the flow of tissue fluid in the connective tissue and involve mast cell degranulation. Our results provide a preliminary explanation of the phenomenon of the 'de qi' sensation and the mechanism of acupuncture signal transmission along acupuncture meridians. | ZHANG Di YAO Wei DING Guang-hong YANG Jing SCHWARZ Wolfgang FEI Lun LIU Fang SHEN Xue-yong LAO Li-xing | 2009 | Journal of Hydrodynamics2009,21,5: | 4 |
| 20 | A 256×256 time-of-flight image sensor based on center-tap demodulation pixel structure显示文摘This paper proposes a 256×256 time-of-flight(TOF) image sensor based on the center-tap(CT)demodulation pixel structure. The image sensor can capture both the two-dimensional(2D) high speed image and the three-dimensional(3D) depth image. The CT pixel consists of two split pinned photodiode(PPD)regions and two pairs of transfer transistors. The transfer transistors adopt a non-uniform doped channel(NUDC) structure, which can increase the electron transfer speed along the transfer channel and eliminate the image lag for high speed imaging. The pixel size is 10 μm×10 μm, and we design the implementation process of the pixel to increase the electron transfer speed. The sensor is fabricated in a 0.18 μm 1P5 M CMOS image sensor process. Test results show that it can capture the 430-fps intensity image and the 90-fps depth image in two different imaging modes. The rectified non-linearity within the 1.0–7.5 m depth measurement range achieves less than 3 cm, and the measurement accuracy achieves 4.0 cm at 2.5 m, corresponding to the relative error of1.6%. | Zhe CHEN Shan DI Zhongxiang CAO Qi QIN Fei JI Liyuan LIU Nanjian WU | 2016 | Science China(Information Sciences)2016,59,4: | 4 |
