| 1 | Ductile deformation within Upper Himalaya Crystalline Sequence and geological implications,in Nyalam area,Southern Tibet显示文摘The South Tibet Detachment System(STDS) is a flat normal fault that separates the Upper Himalaya Crystalline Sequence(UHCS) below from the Tethyan Sedimentary Sequence(TSS) above.Timing of deformations related to the STDS is critical to understand the mechanism and evolution of the Himalaya collision zone.The Nyalam detachment(ND)(~86°E) locates in the middle portion of STDS(81°-89°E).Dating of deformed leucocratic dykes that are most probably syntectonic at different depth beneath the ND,allow us to constrain the timing of deformation.(1) Dyke T11N37 located ~3500 m structurally below the ND emplaced at 27.4± 0.2 Ma;(2) Dyke T11N32 located ~1400 m structurally below the ND emplaced at 22.0±0.3 Ma;(3) T11N25 located within the top to the north STD shear zone,~150 m structurally below the ND,emplaced at 17.1±0.2 Ma.Combining ND footwall cooling history and T11N25 deformation temperature,we indicate a probable onset of top to the north deformation at ~16 Ma at this location.These results show an upward younging of the probable timing of onset of the deformation at different structural distance below the ND.We then propose a new model for deformation migration below the ND with deformation starting by pure shear deformation at depth prior to ~27.5 Ma that migrates upward at a rate of ~ 0.3 mm/a until ~18 Ma when deformation switches to top to the north shearing in the South Tibet Detachment shear zone(STDsz).As deformation on the ND stops at 14-13 Ma this would imply that significant top to the North motion would be limited to less than 5 Ma and would jeopardize the importance of lower channel flow. | LIU XiaoBing LIU XiaoHan LELOUP P.H.

| 2 | Petrology and ^(40)Ar/^(39)Ar iso-topic ages of blueschists in Gangmar, central Qiangtang, northern Tibet显示文摘The petrology and mineral assemblages of blueschists in the Gangmar, central Qiangtang, northern Tibet were examined, which indicates that the metamorphic condition is high-pressure low-temperature. In this note, we reported the 40Ar/39Ar dating results of glaucophane from two blueschist samples. Their apparent ages are (275.0±1.3) Ma and (287.6±2.3) Ma and similar isochron ages are (275.0±0.9) Ma and (282.4±0.8) Ma, respectively. These iso-topic datings show the high-pressure metamorphism occurring in Lower Permian. The ages also coincide with the evolution of Palaeo-Tethys ocean in Late Palaeozoic. | DENG Xiguang, DING Lin, LIU Xiaohan & ZHOU YongLaboratory of Lithospheric Tectonic Evolution, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China | 2001 | Chinese Science Bulletin2001,46,5: | 13 |
| 3 | Puerarin reduces apoptosis in rat hippocampal neurons cultured in high glucose medium by modulating the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathways显示文摘OBJECTIVE: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of puerarin on rat hippocampal neurons cultured in high glucose medium, and to examine the role of the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase(p38 MAPK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) signaling pathways in this effect.METHODS: Primary cultures of hippocampal neurons were prepared from newborn Sprague Dawley rats. Neuron-specific enolase immunocytochemistry was used to identify neurons. The neurons were cultured with normal medium(control group) or with high-glucose medium(high-glucose group),and puerarin(puerarin group), a p38 MAPK inhibitor(SB239063; p38 MAPK inhibitor group) or a JNK inhibitor(SP600125; JNK inhibitor group) were added. After 72 h of treatment, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated d UTP nick end labeling assay was performed to detect apoptosis, and western blotting was used to assess protein levels of p-p38, p38, p-JNK and JNK.RESULTS: In the high-glucose group, the neuronal apoptosis rate and the p-p38/p38 and p-JNK/JNK ratios were higher than in the control group. The p38 MAPK and JNK inhibitors prevented this increase in the apoptosis rate. The apoptosis rates in the puerarin group, the p38 MAPK inhibitor group and the JNK inhibitor group were significantly decreased compared with the high-glucose group.Moreover, protein levels of p-p38 and p-JNK were significantly reduced, and the p-p38/p38 and p-JNK/JNK ratios were decreased in the puerarin group compared with the high-glucose group. In addition, compared with the high-glucose group,p-p38 levels and the p-p38/p38 ratio were reduced in the p38 MAPK inhibitor group, and p-JNK levels and the p-JNK/JNK ratio were decreased in the JNK inhibitor group.CONCLUSION: Puerarin attenuates neuronal apoptosis induced by high glucose by reducing the phosphorylation of p38 and JNK. | Xu Xiaohan Wang Jingbo Zhang Hong Tian Guoqing Liu Yuqin | 2016 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2016,36,1: | 13 |

| 6 | Overview of China's Antarctic research progress 1984–2016显示文摘It is more than 30 years since the first Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition(CHINARE) landed in Antarctica in 1984, representing China's initiation in polar research. This review briefly summarizes the Chinese Antarctic scientific research and output accomplished over the past 30 years. The developments and progress in Antarctic research and the enhancement of international scientific cooperation achieved through the implementation of the CHINARE program have been remarkable. Since the 1980 s, four permanent Chinese Antarctic research stations have been established successively and 33 CHINAREs have been completed. The research results have been derived from a series of spatiotemporal observations in association with various projects and multidisciplinary studies in the fields of oceanography, glaciology, geology, geophysics, geochemistry, atmospheric science, upper atmospheric physics, Antarctic astronomy, biology and ecology, human medicine, polar environment observation, and polar engineering. | CHEN Liqi LIU Xiaohan BIAN Lingen CHEN Bo HUANG Hongliang HU Hongqiao LUO Wei SHI Guitao SHI Jiuxin XU Chengli YANG Guang ZHAO Yue ZHANG Shaohua | 2017 | Advances in Polar Science2017,28,3: | 9 |
| 7 | Mapping the immune microenvironment for mandibular alveolar bone homeostasis at single-cell resolution显示文摘Alveolar bone is the thickened ridge of jaw bone that supports teeth.It is subject to constant occlusal force and pathogens invasion,and is therefore under active bone remodeling and immunomodulation.Alveolar bone holds a distinct niche from long bone considering their different developmental origin and postnatal remodeling pattern.However,a systematic explanation of alveolar bone at single-cell level is still lacking.Here,we construct a single-cell atlas of mouse mandibular alveolar bone through single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq).A more active immune microenvironment is identified in alveolar bone,with a higher proportion of mature immune cells than in long bone.Among all immune cell populations,the monocyte/macrophage subpopulation most actively interacts with mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)subpopulation.Alveolar bone monocytes/macrophages express a higher level of Oncostatin M(Osm)compared to long bone,which promotes osteogenic differentiation and inhibits adipogenic differentiation of MSCs.In summary,our study reveals a unique immune microenvironment of alveolar bone,which may provide a more precise immune-modulatory target for therapeutic treatment of oral diseases. | Weimin Lin Qiwen Li Danting Zhang Xiaohan Zhang Xingying Qi Qian Wang Yaqian Chen Caojie Liu Hanwen Li Shiwen Zhang Yuan Wang Bin Shao Li Zhang Quan Yuan | 2021 | Bone Research2021,9,1: | 6 |
| 8 | Thermally stable and highly efficient red-emitting Eu^(3+)-doped Cs3GdGe309 phosphors for WLEDs:non-concentration quenching and negative thermal expansion显示文摘Red phosphor materials play a key role in improving the lighting and backlit display quality of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes(pc-WLEDs).However,the development of a red phosphor with simultaneous high efficiency,excellent thermal stability and high colour purity is still a challenge.In this work,unique non-concentration quenching in solid-solution Cs_(3)Gd_(1-x)Ge_(3)O_(9):xEu^(3+)(CGGO:xEu^(3+))(x=0.1-1.0)phosphors is successfully developed to achieve a highly efficient red-emitting Cs_(3)EuGe_(3)0_(9)(CEGO)phosphor.Under the optimal 464 nm blue light excitation,CEGO shows a strong red emission at 611 nm with a high colour purity of 95.07%and a high internal quantum efficiency of 94%.Impressively,this red-emitting CEGO phosphor exhibits a better thermal stability at higher temperatures(175-250℃,>90%)than typical red K2SiF6:Mn^(4+)and Y203:Eu^(3+)phosphors,and has a remarkable volumetric negative thermal expansion(coefficient of thermal expansion,a=—5.06×10^(-5)/℃,25-250℃).By employing this red CEGO phosphor,a fabricated pc-WLED emits warm white light with colour coordinates(0.364,0.383),a high colour rendering index(CRI=89.7),and a low colour coordinate temperature(CCT=4508 K).These results indicate that this highly efficient red-emitting phosphor has great potential as a red component for pc-WLEDs,opening a new perspective for developing new phosphor materials. | Peipei Dang Guogang Li Xiaohan Yun Qianqian Zhang Dongjie Liu Hongzhou Lian Mengmeng Shang Jun Lin | 2021 | Light(Science & Applications)2021,10,2: | 6 |

| 10 | Enhanced physicochemical and biological properties of C/Cu dual ions implanted medical titanium显示文摘It is increasingly popular for titanium and its alloys to be utilized as the medical implants.However,their bioinert nature and lack of antibacterial ability limit their applications.In this work,by utilizing plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition(PIII&D)technology,the titanium surface was modified by C/Cu co-implantation.The mechanical property,corrosion resistance,antibacterial ability and cytocompatibility of modified samples were studied.Results indicate that after C/Cu co-implantation,copper nanoparticles were observed on the surface of titanium,and titanium carbide existed on the near surface region of titanium.The modified surface displayed good mechanical property and corrosion resistance.The Cu/C galvanic corrosion existed on the titanium surface implanted by C/Cu dual ions,and release of copper ions can be effectively controlled by the galvanic corrosion effect.Moreover,improved antibacterial performance of titanium surface can be achieved without cytotoxicity. | Chao Xia Xiaohan Ma Xianming Zhang Kunqiang Li Ji Tan Yuqin Qiao Xuanyong Liu | 2020 | Bioactive Materials2020,5,2: | 5 |
| 11 | A transceptor-channel complex couples nitrate sensing to calcium signaling in Ambidopsis显示文摘Nitrate-induced Ca^(2+) signaling is crucial for the primary nitrate response in plants.However,the molecular mechanism underlying the generation of the nitrate-specific calcium signature remains unknown.We report here that a cyclic nucleotide-gated channel(CNGC)protein,CNGC15,and the nitrate transceptor(NRT1.1)constitute a molecular switch that controls calcium influx depending on nitrate levels.The expression of CNGC15 is induced by nitrate,and its protein is localized at the plasma membrane after establishment of young seedlings.We found that disruption of CNGC15 results in the loss of the nitrate-induced Ca^(2+) signature(primary nitrate response)and retards root growth,reminiscent of the phenotype observed in the nrt1.1 mutant.We further showed that CNGC15 is an active Ca^(2+)-permeable channel that physically interacts with the NRT1.1 protein in the plasma membrane.Importantly,we discovered that CNGC15-NRT1.1 interaction silences the channel activity of the heterocomplex,which dissociates upon a rise in nitrate levels,leading to reactivation of the CNGC15 channel.The dynamic interactions between CNGC15 and NRT1.1 therefore control the channel activity and Ca^(2+) influx in a nitrate-dependent manner.Our study reveals a new nutrient-sensing mechanism that utilizes a nutrient transceptor-channel complex assembly to couple nutrient status to a specific Ca^(2+) signature. | Xiaohan Wang Changxin Feng LiLi Tian Congcong Hou Wang Tian Bin Hu Qian Zhang Zhijie Ren Qi Niu Jiali Song Dongdong Kong Liangyu Liu Yikun He Ligeng Ma Chengcai Chu Sheng Luan Legong Li | 2021 | Molecular Plant2021,14,5: | 5 |
| 12 | Electrically controllable laser frequency combs in graphene-fibre microresonators显示文摘Laser frequency combs emitting ultrafast pulses of light,at equidistantly discrete frequencies,are cornerstones of modern information networks.In recent years,the generation of soliton combs in microcavities with ultrahighquality factors has established microcombs as out-oflaboratory tools.However,the material and geometry of a laser cavity,which determine comb formation,are difficult to electrically tune.Such dynamic control can further enrich the diversity of comb outputs and help to actively stabilize them. | Chenye Qin Kunpeng Jia Qianyuan Li Teng Tan Xiaohan Wang Yanhong Guo Shu-Wei Huang Yuan Liu Shining Zhu Zhenda Xie Yunjiang Rao Baicheng Yao | 2020 | Light(Science & Applications)2020,9,1: | 5 |

| 14 | Palynological evidence sheds new light on the age of the Liuqu Conglomerates in Tibet and its geological significance显示文摘The Liuqu Conglomerates consist of a suit of terrestrial molasse deposits formed in a foreland basin of the Himalaya-Tibet orogenic belt before the collision of India and Eurasia.These deposits record considerable geological information regarding the late tectonic evolution of the Neotethyan ocean.The palynological study of interlayers of mudstone and mud-sandstones indicates an Oligocene age.The palynological assemblage consists mainly of deciduous broad-leaved angiosperms,with some coniferous gymnosperms and evergreen broad-leaved angiosperms.The deposits reflect a broad-leaved deciduous forest or mixed with conifer-broad-leaved forest ecotypes,showing a warm-temperate or temperate zone climatic environment.This work provides significant new information about the tectonic evolution,paleogeography,and paleoenvironment of southern Tibet during the Cenozoic. | WEI LiJie LIU XiaoHan YAN FuHua MAI XueShun LI GuangWei LIU XiaoBing ZHOU XueJun | 2011 | Science China Earth Sciences2011,54,6: | 5 |
| 15 | Modulation of nitrate-induced phosphate response by the MYB transcription factor RLI1/HINGE1 in the nucleus显示文摘The coordinated utilization of nitrogen(N)and phosphorus(P)is vital for plants to maintain nutrient balance and achieve optimal growth.Previously,we revealed a mechanism by which nitrate induces genes for phosphate utilization;this mechanism depends on NRT1.1B-facilitated degradation of cytoplasmic SPX4,which in turn promotes cytoplasmic-nuclear shuttling of PHR2,the central transcription factor of phosphate signaling,and triggers the nitrate-induced phosphate response(NIPR)and N-P coordinated utilization in rice.In this study,we unveiled a fine-tuning mechanism of NIPR in the nucleus regulated by Highly Induced by Nitrate Gene 1(HINGE1,also known as RLI1),a MYB-transcription factor closely related to PHR2.RLI1/HINGE1,which is transcriptionally activated by PHR2 under nitrate induction,can directly activate the expression of phosphate starvation-induced genes.More importantly,RLI1/HINGE1 competes with PHR2 for binding to its repressor proteins in the nucleus(SPX proteins),and consequently releases PHR2 to further enhance phosphate response.Therefore,RLI1/HINGE1 amplifies the phosphate response in the nucleus downstream of the cytoplasmic SPX4-PHR2 cascade,thereby enabling fine-tuning of N-P balance when nitrate supply is sufficient. | Zhihua Zhang Zhao Li Wei Wang Zhimin Jiang Liping Guo Xiaohan Wang Yangwen Qian Xiahe Huang Yongqiang Liu Xiujie Liu Yahong Liu Aifu Li Yu Yan Junpeng Xie Shouyun Cao Stanislav Kopriva Legong Li Fanjiang Kong Baohui Liu Yingchun Wang Bin Hu Chengcai Chu | 2021 | Molecular Plant2021,14,3: | 4 |
| 16 | Spectrum projection with a bandgap-gradient perovskite cell for colour perception显示文摘Optoelectronic devices for light or spectral signal detection are desired for use in a wide range of applications,including sensing,imaging,optical communications,and in situ characterization.However,existing photodetectors indicate only light intensities,whereas multiphotosensor spectrometers require at least a chip-level assembly and can generate redundant signals for applications that do not need detailed spectral information.Inspired by human visual and psychological light perceptions,the compression of spectral information into representative intensities and colours may simplify spectrum processing at the device level.Here,we propose a concept of spectrum projection using a bandgap-gradient semiconductor cell for intensity and colour perception.Bandgap-gradient perovskites,prepared by a halide-exchanging method via dipping in a solution,are developed as the photoactive layer of the cell.The fabricated cell produces two output signals:one shows linear responses to both photon energy and flux,while the other depends on only photon flux.Thus,by combining the two signals,the single device can project the monochromatic and broadband spectra into the total photon fluxes and average photon energies(i.e.,intensities and hues),which are in good agreement with those obtained from a commercial photodetector and spectrometer.Under changing illumination in real time,the prepared device can instantaneously provide intensity and hue results.In addition,the flexibility and chemical/bio-sensing of the device via colour comparison are demonstrated.Therefore,this work shows a human visual-like method of spectrum projection and colour perception based on a single device,providing a paradigm for high-efficiency spectrum-processing applications. | Mei-Na Zhang Xiaohan Wu Antoine Riaud Xiao-Lin Wang Fengxian Xie Wen-Jun Liu Yongfeng Mei David Wei Zhang Shi-Jin Ding | 2020 | Light(Science & Applications)2020,9,1: | 4 |
| 17 | New technologies accelerate the exploration of non-coding RNAs in horticultural plants显示文摘Non-coding RNAs(ncRNAs),that is,RNAs not translated into proteins,are crucial regulators of a variety of biological processes in plants.While protein-encoding genes have been relatively well-annotated in sequenced genomes,accounting for a small portion of the genome space in plants,the universe of plant ncRNAs is rapidly expanding.Recent advances in experimental and computational technologies have generated a great momentum for discovery and functional characterization of ncRNAs.Here we summarize the classification and known biological functions of plant ncRNAs,review the application of next-generation sequencing(NGS)technology and ribosome profiling technology to ncRNA discovery in horticultural plants and discuss the application of new technologies,especially the new genome-editing tool clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9(Cas9)systems,to functional characterization of plant ncRNAs. | Degao Liu Ritesh Mewalal Rongbin Hu Gerald A Tuskan Xiaohan Yang | 2017 | Horticulture Research2017,4,1: | 4 |
| 18 | Intrinsically Stretchable Organic-Tribotronic-Transistor for Tactile Sensing显示文摘Stretchable electronics are of great significance for the development of the next-generation smart interactive systems.Here,we propose an intrinsically stretchable organic tribotronic transistor(SOTT)without a top gate electrode,which is composed of a stretchable substrate,silver nanowire electrodes,semiconductor blends,and a nonpolar elastomer dielectric.The drain-source current of the SOTT can be modulated by external contact electrification with the dielectric layer.Under 0-50%stretching both parallel and perpendicular to the channel directions,the SOTT retains great output performance.After being stretched to 50%for thousands of cycles,the SOTT can survive with excellent stability.Moreover,the SOTT can be conformably attached to the human hand,which can be used for tactile signal perception in human-machine interaction and for controlling smart home devices and robots.This work has realized a stretchable tribotronic transistor as the tactile sensor for smart interaction,which has extended the application of tribotronics in the human-machine interface,wearable electronics,and robotics. | Junqing Zhao Tianzhao Bu Xiaohan Zhang Yaokun Pang Wenjian Li Zhi Zhang Guoxu Liu Zhong Lin Wang Chi Zhang | 2020 | Research2020,,1: | 4 |
| 19 | Cyanobacteria-based near-infrared light-excited self-supplying oxygen system for enhanced photodynamic therapy of hypoxic tumors显示文摘Tumor hypoxia has been considered to induce tumor cell resistance to radiotherapy and anticancer chemotherapy,as well as predisposing for increased tumor metastases.Therefore,strategies for the eradication of the hypoxic tumor are highly desirable.Photodynamic therapy(PDT)is a new technique that can be used to treat tumors using laser irradiation to photochemically activate a photosensitizer.Compared to traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy,photodynamic therapy has many advantages,such as good selectivity,low toxicity,and less trauma and resistance.However,PDT is oxygen-dependent,and the lack of oxygen in hypoxic tumors renders photodynamic therapy ineffective.Cyanobacteria,the earliest photosynthetic oxygen-generating organisms,can utilize water as an electron donor to reduce CO_(2) into organic carbon compounds along with continuously releasing oxygen under sunlight.Inspired by this,herein,cyanobacteria were used as a living carrier of photosensitizer conjugated upconversion nanoparticles(UCNP)to construct a self-supplying oxygen PDT system.Improvement in the PDT efficiency for hypoxic tumors can be achieved as a result of in situ oxygen production by cyanobacteria under near-infrared(NIR)light using UCNP as a light harvesting antenna.A successful demonstration of this concept would be of great significance and could open the door to a new generation of carrier systems in the field of hypoxia-targeted drug transport platforms. | Yinghua Zhang Huifang Liu Xinyue Dai Hang Li Xiaohan Zhou Shizhu Chen Jinchao Zhang Xing-Jie Liang Zhenhua Li | 2021 | Nano Research2021,14,3: | 4 |
| 20 | An alternative tectonic model for the Yarlung Zangbo suture zone显示文摘The new field investigations along the Yarlung Zangbo ophiolites zone show that these series underwent low green-schist metamorphism and were then fractured and occurred as slabs in tectonic melanges,without regional tectonic polarity.No large shear zone in north-south direction has been identified between ophiolite bodies and flysch layers on both side and a conformable contact relationship can be observed locally between them.A great mass of tectonic mélange has been substantiated as submarine olistolith bodies.The Mesozoic sedimentary facies and its evolution in both north and south of the ophiolite zone are corresponding in time.The ophiolite zone has often been divided into parallel branches,separated by narrow flysch slats.There is also a similarity of the Paleozoic and the basement of the High Himalaya,Lhasa and Qiangtang Terranes,and they are distinctly different from those of the Indian continent.The geologic information does not warrant a postulate that the Himalaya and Tibet were once separated by a great ocean;it is therefore consistent with an alternative tectonic model by back-arc basin collapse with its juvenile narrow oceanic crust.The real plate tectonic suture,the Neotethys might be covered under the Miocene Siwalik molasse in the southern slope of the High Himalaya range.Based on the new model,the Neotethyan ocean floor was subducted beneath the Asia since the Late Triassic.The outer continental margin of Eurasia was split from the Lhasa Terrane so that a back-arc basin came into existence.Hemi-pelagic and deep sea sediments were deposited before the Late Cretaceous flysch sedimentation,with the linear juvenile oceanic crust when back-arc volcanism occurred in the Gandese region.The Yarlung Zangbo back-arc basin was eventually eliminated when the High Himalayas were sutured onto Eurasia.The ocean floor lightly underthrusted to north and south sides,sediments of the basin were deformed as fold-thrusting.The Neotethys was eliminated during the Tertiary when India collided with Himalaya arc from the Oligocene.The crust of southern Tibet suffered penetrative shortening,the ophiolite zone became exposed during regional uplifting,and the South Tibet Detachment System,doming in southern Tibet and rifting in a north-south direction since the Middle Miocene Epoch. | LIU XiaoHan JU YiTai WEI LiJie LI GuangWei | 2010 | Science China Earth Sciences2010,53,1: | 4 |
