| 1 | Plant abiotic stress response and nutrient use efficiency显示文摘Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce plant growth,productivity and quality.Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these environmental challenges,transmit the stress signals within cells as well as between cells and tissues,and make appropriate adjustments in their growth and development in order to survive and reproduce.In recent years,significant progress has been made on many fronts of the stress signaling research,particularly in understanding the downstream signaling events that culminate at the activation of stress-and nutrient limitation-responsive genes,cellular ion homeostasis,and growth adjustment.However,the revelation of the early events of stress signaling,particularly the identification of primary stress sensors,still lags behind.In this review,we summarize recent work on the genetic and molecular mechanisms of plant abiotic stress and nutrient limitation sensing and signaling and discuss new directions for future studies. | Zhizhong Gong Liming Xiong Huazhong Shi Shuhua Yang Luis R.Herrera-Estrella Guohua Xu Dai-Yin Chao Jingrui Li Peng-Yun Wang Feng Qin Jigang Li Yanglin Ding Yiting Shi Yu Wang Yongqing Yang Yan Guo Jian-Kang Zhu | 2020 | Science China(Life Sciences)2020,63,5: | 94 |

| 3 | Transgenic expression of MYB15 confers enhanced sensitivity to abscisic acid and improved drought tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana显示文摘Abiotic stresses cause serious crop losses. Knowledge on genes functioning in plant responses to adverse growth conditions is essential for developing stress tolerant crops. Here we report that transgenic expression of MYB15, encoding a R2R3 MYB transcription factor in Arabidopsis thaliana, conferred hypersensitivity to exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and improved tolerance to drought and salt stresses. The promoter of MYB15 was active in not only vegetative and reproductive organs but also the guard cells of stomata. Its transcript level was substantially upregulated by ABA, drought or salt treatments. Compared with wild type (WT) control, MYB15 overexpression lines were hypersensitive to ABA in germination assays, more susceptible to ABA-elicited inhibition of root elongation, and more sensitive to ABA-induced stomatal closure. In line with the above findings, the transcript levels of ABA biosynthesis (ABA1, ABA2), signaling (ABI3), and responsive genes (AtADH1, RD22, RD29B, AtEM6) were generally higher in MYB15 overexpression seedlings than in WT controls after treatment with ABA. MYB15 overexpression lines displayed improved survival and reduced water loss rates than WT control under water deficiency conditions. These overexpression lines also displayed higher tolerance to NaCl stress. Collectively, our data suggest that overexpression of MYB15 improves drought and salt tolerance in Arabidopsis possibly by enhancing the expression levels of the genes involved in ABA biosynthesis and signaling, and those encoding the stress-protective proteins. | Zhenhua Ding Shiming Li Xueli An Xin Liu Huanju Qin Daowen Wang | 2009 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2009,36,1: | 42 |
| 4 | Effects of AT1 receptor antagonist,Iosartan,on rat hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl_4显示文摘AIM To investigate effect of losartan,an AT1receptor antagonist,on hepatic fibrosis induced byCCl;and to determine whether or not AT1receptors are expressed on hepatic stellate cells,METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing(180±20)g,wererandomized into five groups(control group,modelgroup,and three losartan treated groups),inwhich all rats were given the subcutaneousinjection of 40% CCl4(every 3 days for 6 weeks)except for rats of control group.Rats of losartan-treated groups were treated with losartan(20 mg/kg,10 mg/kg,5 mg/kg,daily gavage),After 6weeks liver tissue and serum samples of all ratswere examined.Serum hyaluronic acid(HA),procollagen typeⅢ(PCⅢ)were detected byradioimmunoassays,van Giesion collagen stainingwas used to evaluate the extracellular matrix of ratswith liver fibrosis.The expression of AT1receptors,transforming growth factor-beta(TGF-β),and alpha-smooth muscle actin(a-SMA)inliver tissue were determined byimmunohistochemical techniques.Compared withmodel group,serum ALT and AST of losartan-treated groups were significantly reduced(t=4.20,P<0.01 and t=4.57,P<0.01).Serum HAand PCⅢalso had significant differences(t=3.53,P<0.01 and t=2.20,P<0.05).Thedegree of fibrosis was improved by losartan and correlated with the expressions of AT1 receptors,TGF-β,and α-SMA in liver tissue.CONCLUSION AT1 receptor antagonist,losartan,could limit the progression of the hepatic fibrosisinduced by CCl4.The mechanism may be related tothe decrease in the expression of AT1 receptorsand TGF-β,ameliorating the injury of hepatocytes;activation of local renin-angiotensin system mightrelate to hepatic fibrosis;and during progressionof fibrosis,activated hepatic stellate cells mightexpress AT1 receptors. | Hong Shan Wei Ding Guo Li Han Ming Lu Yu Tao Zhan Zhi Rong Wang Xin Huang Jing Zhang Ji Lin Cheng Qin Fang Xu Department of Gastroenterology,Xinhua Hospital,Shanghai Second Medical University,Shanghai 200092,China | 2000 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2000,6,4: | 42 |
| 5 | Cryospheric Science: research framework and disciplinary system显示文摘Cryospheric changes and their impacts have received increasing concern, extending the research to include the interactions between earth spheres and the impacts of and social adaptation to cryospheric changes. As a result, Cryospheric Science is rapidly developing. However, the research framework of Cryospheric Science has not completely been set up, and the intension and extension of Cryospheric Science are unclear.Following a literature review, the research framework for Cryospheric Science and the discipline components are analysed in this paper. We consider that Cryospheric Science is an inevitable product of international research on the earth and environmental changes as well as on human sustainable development. It will not only strengthen the linkage between the cryosphere and other earth spheres by deepening traditional research areas, but will also bring more focus on the critical roles of the cryosphere in interactions between earth spheres, and will enhance the relationship between cryospheric change and climate, ecology, hydrology, surface environment and sustainable development. The disciplinary tree of Cryospheric Science is developed following the mainstream of change-impacts adaptation. The disciplines of Cryospheric Science were teased out against characteristics of traditional branches and the developing interdisciplinary branches of cryosphere elements, which will provide reference to Cryospheric Science as it systematically grows to maturity. | Dahe Qin Yongjian Ding Cunde Xiao Shichang Kang Jianwen Ren Jianping Yang Shiqiang Zhang | 2018 | National Science Review2018,5,2: | 42 |
| 6 | Enhanced secondary pollution offset reduction of primary emissions during COVID-19 lockdown in China显示文摘To control the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus(COVID-19),China imposed nationwide restrictions on the movement of its population(lockdown)after the Chinese New Year of 2020,leading to large reductions in economic activities and associated emissions.Despite such large decreases in primary pollution,there were nonetheless several periods of heavy haze pollution in eastern China,raising questions about the well-established relationship between human activities and air quality.Here,using comprehensive measurements and modeling,we show that the haze during the COVID lockdown was driven by enhancements of secondary pollution.In particular,large decreases in NOx emissions from transportation increased ozone and nighttime NO_(3)radical formation,and these increases in atmospheric oxidizing capacity in turn facilitated the formation of secondary particulate matter.Our results,afforded by the tragic natural experiment of the COVID-19 pandemic,indicate that haze mitigation depends upon a coordinated and balanced strategy for controlling multiple pollutants. | Xin Huang Aijun Ding Jian Gao Bo Zheng Derong Zhou Ximeng Qi Rong Tang Jiaping Wang Chuanhua Ren Wei Nie Xuguang Chi Zheng Xu Liangduo Chen Yuanyuan Li Fei Che Nini Pang Haikun Wang Dan Tong Wei Qin Wei Cheng Weijing Liu Qingyan Fu Baoxian Liu Fahe Chai Steven JDavis Qiang Zhang Kebin He | 2021 | National Science Review2021,8,2: | 47 |
| 7 | Activation of gibberellin 2-oxidase 6 decreases active gibberellin levels and creates a dominant semi-dwarf phenotype in rice (Oryza sativa L.)显示文摘Gibberellin (GA) 2-oxidase plays a key role in the GA catabolic pathway through 2β-hydroxylation.In the present study,we isolated a CaMV 35S-enhancer activation tagged mutant,H032.This mutant exhibited a dominant dwarf and GA-deficient phenotype,with a final stature that was less than half of its wild-type counterpart.The endogenous bioactive GAs are markedly decreased in the H032 mutant,and application of bioactive GAs (GA3 or GA4) can reverse the dwarf phenotype.The integrated T-DNA was detected 12.8 kb upstream of the OsGA2ox6 in the H032 genome by TAIL-PCR.An increased level of OsGA2ox6 mRNA was detected at a high level in the H032 mutant,which might be due to the enhancer role of the CaMV 35S promoter.RNAi and ectopic expression analysis of OsGA2ox6 indicated that the dwarf trait and the decreased levels of bioactive GAs in the H032 mutant were a result of the up-regulation of the OsGA2ox6 gene.BLASTP analysis revealed that OsGA2ox6 belongs to the class III of GA 2-oxidases,which is a novel type of GA2ox that uses C20-GAs (GA12 and/or GA53) as the substrates.Interestingly,we found that a GA biosynthesis inhibitor,paclobutrazol,positively regulated the OsGA2ox6 gene.Unlike the over-expression of OsGA2ox1,which led to a high rate of seed abortion,the H032 mutant retained normal flowering and seed production.These results indicate that OsGA2ox6 mainly affects plant stature,and the dominant dwarf trait of the H032 mutant can be used as an efficient dwarf resource in rice breeding. | Jian Huang Ding Tang Yi Shen Baoxiang Qin Lilan Hong Aiqing You Ming Li Xin Wang Hengxiu Yu Minghong Gu Zhukuan Cheng | 2010 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2010,37,1: | 36 |

| 9 | Incidence and mortality of laryngeal cancer in China,2008–2012显示文摘Objective:To analyze the incidence and mortality rates of laryngeal cancer in China from 2008 to 2012.Methods:Incident and death cases of laryngeal cancer were retrieved from the National Central Cancer Registry(NCCR)database collecting from 135 cancer registries in China during 2008–2012.The crude incidence and mortality rates of laryngeal cancer were calculated by area(urban/rural),region(eastern,middle,western),gender and age group(0,1–4,5–9,…,85+).China census in 2000 and Segi’s world population were applied for age standardized rates.Join Point(Version 4.5.0.1)model was used for time trend analysis.Results:The crude incidence rate of laryngeal cancer was 1.86/100,000 ranked the 21st in overall cancers.The age-standardized incidence rates by China population(ASIRC)and by World population(ASIRW)were1.22/100,000 and 1.23/100,000,respectively.The crude mortality of laryngeal cancer in China was 1.01/100,000and it was the 21st cause of cancer-related death in overall cancers.Both the age-standardized mortality rates by Chinese standard population(ASMRC)and by world standard population(ASMRW)were 0.63/100,000.Incidence and mortality rates of laryngeal cancer were higher in males than in females and higher in urban areas than in rural areas.Middle areas had the highest incidence and mortality rates followed by eastern and western areas.Incidence and mortality rates of laryngeal cancer retained low level before age of 40 years old but increased greatly after and peaked in age group of 75.Incidence showed significant down trends in recent 10 years by 1.27%annually[95%confidence interval(95%CI):–2.2%,–0.3%].Mortality declined in females sharply by 5.18%per year although stable in males and both sexes combined.Conclusions:Appropriate targeted prevention,early detection and treatment programs should be carried out to control the local burden of laryngeal cancer. | Yuqin Liu Qin Zhao Gaoheng Ding Yitong Zhu Wenying Li Wanqing Chen | 2018 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2018,30,3: | 29 |
| 10 | The regulatory role of AT 1 receptor on activated HSCs in hepat,c fibrogenesis,effects of RAS inhibitors on hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl_4显示文摘AIM To assess the effect of ACE inhibitor andAng Ⅱ type Ⅰ(AT1)receptor antagonist inpreventing hepatic fibrosis caused by CCl4administration in rats;to investigate whether ornot there are expression of AT 1 receptors onhepatic stellate cells;and to observe the effectof Ang Ⅱ on proliferation and ECM synthesis ofcultured HSCs.METHODS Studies were conducted in maleSprague-Dawley rats.Except for thehepatofibrotic model group and the controlgroup,in three treated groups,either enalapril(5 mg/kg),or Iosartan(10 mg/kg),or enalapril+Iosartan were given to the fibrotic rats bydaily gavage,and saline vehicle was given tomodel and normal control rats.After 6 weeks,liver fibrosis was assessed directly by hepaticmorphometric analysis,which has beenconsidered the gold standard for thequantification of fibrosis.The expressions of AT1 receptors and(α-mooth muscle actin,α-SMA)in liver tissue or isolated hepatic stellate cells(HSCs)were detected by immunohistochemicaltechniques.The effect of Ang Ⅱ on HSCproliferation was determined by MTT method.Effect of Ang Ⅱ on collagen synthesis of HSCswas determined by 3H-proline incorporation.RESULTS Contrasted to the fibrosis in rats ofthe model group,groups of rats treated with either enalapril or Iosartan,or a combination oftwo drugs showed a limited expansion of theinterstitium(4.23±3.70 vs 11.22±4.79,P<0.05),but no difference was observedamong three treated groups(5.38±3.43,4.96±2.96,4.23±2.70,P>0.05).Expression of AT 1receptors was found in fibrotic interstitium offibrotic rats,whereas in normal control rats theywere limited to vasculature only to a very slightdegree.AT 1 receptors were also expressed onactivated HSCs in the culture.At concentrationsfrom 10-9to 10-5mol/L,Ang Ⅱ stimulated HSCproliferation in culture in a dose-dependentmanner.Increasing Ang Ⅱ concentrationsproduced corresponding increases in 3H-prolineincorporation.Differences among groups were significant.CONCLUSION Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and AT I blocker may slow the progression of hepatic fibrosis; activated HSCs express AT 1 receptors, and Ang Ⅱ can stimulate the proliferation and collagen synthesis of HSCs in a dose-dependent manner; and activation of RAS may be related to hepatic fibrogenesis induced by CCI4. | Hong Shan Wei Han Ming Lu Ding Guo Li Yu Tao Zhan Zhi Rong Wang Xin Huang Ji Lin Cheng Qin Fang Xu Department of Gastroenterology,Xinhua Hospital,Shanghai Second Medical University,Shanghai 200092,China | 2000 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2000,6,6: | 27 |

| 12 | Carbonate-salt-based composite materials for medium- and high-temperature thermal energy storage显示文摘This paper discusses composite materials based on inorganic salts for medium- and high-temperature thermal energy storage application.The composites consist of a phase change material(PCM),a ceramic material,and a high thermal conductivity material.The ceramic material forms a microstructural skeleton for encapsulation of the PCM and structural stability of the composites;the high thermal conductivity material enhances the overall thermal conductivity of the composites.Using a eutectic salt of lithium and sodium carbonates as the PCM,magnesium oxide as the ceramic skeleton,and either graphite flakes or carbon nanotubes as the thermal conductivity enhancer,we produced composites with good physical and chemical stability and high thermal conductivity.We found that the wettability of the molten salt on the ceramic and carbon materials significantly affects the microstructure of the composites. | Zhiwei Ge Feng Ye Hui Cao Guanghui Leng Yue Qin Yulong Ding | 2014 | Particuology2014,12,4: | 19 |

| 14 | Soil pH impact on microbial tetraether lipids and terrestrial input index (BIT) in China显示文摘The distributions of microbial tetraether lipids i.e. glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) were investigated in a variety of Chinese soils featured by a wide range of pH values in different climate zones. The bacterial branched GDGTs and archaeal isoprenoid GDGTs were found to be widely distributed in Chinese soils and their relative abundance was controlled primarily by soil pH. The bacterial bGDGTs usually dominate over archaeal iGDGTs in abundance when the soil pH is below 8.0. However archaeal iGDGTs become dominant and the abundance of halophilic archaea characterized by GDGT V without cyclopentyl ring increases dramatically in the alkaline soil with pH greater than 8.0. The relative abundance of archaeal iGDGTs to bacterial bGDGTs was defined here as RAI index. The RAI index decreases with elevated soil pH and a linear correlation is found between them indicating that the relative abundance of archaeal iGDGTs to bacterial bGDGTs increases with increased pH. The RAI index thus could be a novel proxy of the pH values of paleosol. The terrestrial input index BIT (Branched and Isoprenoid Tetraethers Index) decreases with increased soil pH suggesting that soil pH should be taken into consideration when the terrestrial contribution to marine sediments is estimated by BIT index. Moreover the TEX86 index cannot be used to reconstruct sea surface temperature in the sediments featured by a large terrestrial input. | YANG Huan DING WeiHua WANG JinXiang JIN ChengSheng HE GangQiang QIN YangMin XIE ShuCheng | 2012 | Science China Earth Sciences2012,55,2: | 19 |
| 15 | Exploring an Integrative Therapy for Treating COVID-19:A Randomized Controlled Trial显示文摘Objectives:To develop a new Chinese medicine(CM)-based drug and to evaluate its safety and effect for suppressing acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)in COVID-19 patients.Methods:A putative ARDS-suppressing drug Keguan-1 was first developed and then evaluated by a randomized,controlled two-arm trial.The two arms of the trial consist of a control therapy(alpha interferon inhalation,50(x g twice daily;and lopinavir/ritonavir,400 and 100 mg twice daily,respectively)and a testing therapy(control therapy plus Keguan-119.4 g twice daily)by random number table at 1:1 ratio with 24 cases each group.After 2-week treatment,adverse events,time to fever resolution,ARDS development,and lung injury on newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients were assessed.Results:An analysis of the data from the first 30 participants showed that the control arm and the testing arm did not exhibit any significant differences in terms of adverse events.Based on this result,the study was expanded to include a total of 48 participants(24 cases each arm).The results show that compared with the control arm,the testing arm exhibited a significant improvement in time to fever resolution(P=0.035),and a significant reduction in the development of ARDS(P=0.048).Conclusions:Keguan-1-based integrative therapy was safe and superior to the standard therapy in suppressing the development of ARDS in COVID-19 patients.(Trial registration No.NCT 04251871 at www.clinicaltrials.gov). | WANG Jia-bo WANG Zhong-xia JING Jing ZHAO Peng DONG Jing-hui ZHOU Yong-feng YANG Guang NIU Ming ZHAO Xu JIANG Tian-jun Bl Jing-feng XU Zhe ZHANG Ping WU Dan BAI Zhao-fang GUO Yu-ming YU Si-miao SUN Yong-qiang ZHANG Zi-teng ZHAN Xiao-yan LI Peng-yan DING Jin-biao ZHAO Peng-fei SONG Xue-ai TANG Jian-yuan HE Dong-chu CHEN Zhu QIN En-qiang WANG Rui-lin XIAO Xiao-he | 2020 | Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine2020,26,9: | 18 |

| 17 | Impact of Heat Wave in 2005 on Mortality in Guangzhou, China显示文摘Objective To assess the impact of the heat wave in 2005 on mortality among the residents in Guangzhou and to identify susceptible subpopulations in Guangzhou, China. Methods The data of daily number of deaths and meteorological measures from 2003 to 2006 in Guangzhou were used in this study. Heat wave was defined as ≥7 consecutive days with daily maximum temperature above 35.0 ℃ and daily mean temperature above the 97th percentile during the study period. The excess deaths and rate ratio (RR) of mortality in the case period compared with the reference period in the same summer were calculated. Results During the study period, only one heat wave in 2005 was identified and the total number of excess deaths was 145 with an average of 12 deaths per day. The effect of the heat wave on non-accidental mortality (RR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.11-1.37) was found with statistically significant difference. Also, greater effects were observed for cardiovascular mortality (RR=1.34, 95% CI: 1.13-1.59) and respiratory mortality (RR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.02-1.69). Females, the elderly and people with lower socioeconomic status were at significantly higher risk of heat wave-associatedmortality. Conclusion The 2005 heat wave had a substantial impact on mortality among the residents in Guangzhou, particularly among some susceptible subpopulations. The findings from the present study may provide scientific evidences to develop relevant public health policies and prevention measures aimed at reduction of preventable mortality from heat waves. | YANG Jun LIU Hua Zhang OU Chun Quan LIN Guo Zhen DING Yan ZHOU Qin SHEN Ji Chuan CHEN Ping Yan | 2013 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2013,26,8: | 16 |
| 18 | Effect of composite supports on the methanation activity of Co-Mo-based sulphur-resistant catalysts显示文摘The effects of composite supports of CeO2-Al2O3,MgO-Al2O3,TiO2-Al2O3 or ZrO2-Al2O3 on the methanation activity of supported Co-Mo-based sulphur-resistant catalysts were investigated.The catalysts were further characterized by nitrogen adsorption measurement,X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The catalyst of 5%CoO-15%MoO3 supported on CeO2-Al2O3,MgO-Al2O3,TiO2-Al2O3 or ZrO2-Al2O3 composite oxides,respectively,showed different catalytic performances of syngas methanation in the presence of hydrogen sulphide as compared with that of the 5%CoO-15%MoO3/Al2O3 catalyst.The Co-Mo/CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst shows the highest methanation activity among the tested catalysts.The enhanced methanation activity may be attributed to the improvement of the dispersion of active metal species and the inhibition of the formation of S6+. | Haiyang Wang Zhenhua Li Erdong Wang Can Lin Yuguang Shang Guozhong Ding Xinbin Ma Shaodong Qin Qi Sun | 2012 | Journal of Natural Gas Chemistry2012,21,6: | 15 |

| 20 | Expression changes of activin A in the development of hepatic fibrosis显示文摘AIM To examine the expression of activin A, amember of the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) superfamily, recently has been reported to beoverexpressed in liver cirrhosis, in the course ofcarbon tetrachloride-induced rat hepaticfibrosis.METHODS Hepatic fibrosis was induced in ratsby subcutaneous injections of 40% carbontetrachloride oily solution for a period of 1 to 7weeks. At the end of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 weeksafter carbon tetrachloride injections, the ratswere killed in group (6- 10 rats each time) forstudy. The activin A messenger RNA expressionand its protein localization were assessed bysemi-quantitative reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR ) andimmunohistochemistry.RESULTS The normal rat liver expressedactivin A mRNA and protein, and its expressionwas transiently decreased and becameundetectable after carbon tetrachlorideinjections for 2 or 3 weeks and then increasedgradually. After injection of carbon tetrachloridefor 6 and 7 weeks, activin A mRNA and proteinexpressions were significantly enchanced in ratliver. Compared with that of the normal ratliver. Activin A mRNA expression levels in ratsreceiving carbon tetrachloride injections for 6and 7 weeks were 1.6 and 2.2 times that of thosein normal rat liver respectively (0.456±0.094 vs0.286± 0.0670, P<0.01; 0.620± 0.134 vs 0.286±± 0.0670, P<0.01). Immunohistochemistryshowed that activin A expressed in hepatocytesof normal liver, and its expression wasdecreased in rats receiving carbon tetrachloridefor 2 or 3 weeks. Compared with normal liver,activin A expression distribution mode changedin fibrotic liver, being increased significantly inhepatocytes around fibrotic areas.CONCLUSION Activin A expression wasincreased in latestage of hepatic fibrosis, andthis may be involved in hepatic fibrosisformation in this period. | Xin Huang1 Ding Guo Li1 Zhi Rong Wang1 Hong Shan Wei1 Ji Lin Cheng1 Yu Tao Zhan1 Xin Zhou1 Qin Fang Xu1 Xin Li2 Han Ming Lu1 1Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Second Medical University, Shanghai 200092, China2Ninth Hospital.
