| 1 | AXL is a candidate receptor for SARS-CoV-2 that promotes infection of pulmonary and bronchial epithelial cells显示文摘The current coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic presents a global public health challenge.The viral pathogen responsible,severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),binds to the host receptor ACE2 through its spike(S)glycoprotein,which mediates membrane fusion and viral entry.Although the role of ACE2 as a receptor for SARS-CoV-2 is clear,studies have shown that ACE2 expression is extremely low in various human tissues,especially in the respiratory tract.Thus,other host receptors and/or co-receptors that promote the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into cells of the respiratory system may exist.In this study,we found that the tyrosine-protein kinase receptor UFO(AXL)specifically interacts with the N-terminal domain of SARS-CoV-2 S.Using both a SARS-CoV-2 virus pseudotype and authentic SARS-CoV-2,we found that overexpression of AXL in HEK293T cells promotes SARS-CoV-2 entry as efficiently as overexpression of ACE2,while knocking out AXL significantly reduces SARS-CoV-2 infection in HI 299 pulmonary cells and in human primary lung epithelial cells.Soluble human recombinant AXL blocks SARS-CoV-2 infection in cells expressing high levels of AXL.The AXL expression level is well correlated with SARS-CoV-2 S level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cells from COVID-19 patients.Taken together,our findings suggest that AXL is a novel candidate receptor for SARS-CoV-2 which may play an important role in promoting viral infection of the human respiratory system and indicate that it is a potential target for future clinical intervention strategies. | Shuai Wang Zongyang Qiu Yingnan Hou Xiya Deng Wei Xu Tingting Zheng Peihan Wu Shaofang Xie Weixiang Bian Chong Zhang Zewei Sun Kunpeng Liu Chao Shan Aifu Lin Shibo Jiang Youhua Xie Qiang Zhou Lu Lu Jing Huang Xu Li | 2021 | Cell Research2021,31,2: | 39 |
| 2 | Establishment and application of an artificial intelligence diagnosis system for pancreatic cancer with a faster region-based convolutional neural network显示文摘Background:Early diagnosis and accurate staging are important to improve the cure rate and prognosis for pancreatic cancer.This study was performed to develop an automatic and accurate imaging processing technique system,allowing this system to read computed tomography(CT)images correctly and make diagnosis of pancreatic cancer faster.Methods:The establishment of the artificial intelligence(AI)system for pancreatic cancer diagnosis based on sequential contrastenhanced CT images were composed of two processes:training and verification.During training process,our study used all 4385 CT images from 238 pancreatic cancer patients in the database as the training data set.Additionally,we used VGG16,which was pretrained in ImageNet and contained 13 convolutional layers and three fully connected layers,to initialize the feature extraction network.In the verification experiment,we used sequential clinical CT images from 238 pancreatic cancer patients as our experimental data and input these data into the faster region-based convolution network(Faster R-CNN)model that had completed training.Totally,1699 images from 100 pancreatic cancer patients were included for clinical verification.Results:A total of 338 patients with pancreatic cancer were included in the study.The clinical characteristics(sex,age,tumor location,differentiation grade,and tumor-node-metastasis stage)between the two training and verification groups were insignificant.The mean average precision was 0.7664,indicating a good training ejffect of the Faster R-CNN.Sequential contrastenhanced CT images of 100 pancreatic cancer patients were used for clinical verification.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve calculated according to the trapezoidal rule was 0.9632.It took approximately 0.2 s for the Faster R-CNN AI to automatically process one CT image,which is much faster than the time required for diagnosis by an imaging specialist.Conclusions:Faster R-CNN AI is an effective and objective method with high accuracy for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. | Shang-Long Liu Shuo Li Yu-Ting Guo Yun-Peng Zhou Zheng-Dong Zhang Shuai Li Yun Lu | 2019 | Chinese Medical Journal2019,,23: | 23 |

| 4 | From concept to reality-A review to the primary test stand and its preliminary application in high energy density physics显示文摘Pulsed power technology,whereas the electrical energy stored in a relative long period is released in much shorter timescale,is an efficient method to create high energy density physics(HEDP)conditions in laboratory.Around the beginning of this century,China Academy of Engineering Physics(CAEP)began to build some experimental facilities for HEDP investigations,among which the Primary Test Stand(PTS),a multi-module pulsed power facility with a nominal current of 10 MA and a current rising time~90 ns,is an important achievement on the roadmap of the electro-magnetically driven inertial confinement fusion(ICF)researches.PTS is the first pulsed power facility beyond 10 TW in China.Therefore,all the technologies have to be demonstrated,and all the engineering issues have to be overcome.In this article,the research outline,key technologies and the preliminary HEDP experiments are reviewed.Prospects on HEDP research on PTS and pulsed power development for the next step are also discussed. | Jianjun Deng Weiping Xie Shuping Feng Meng Wang Hongtao Li Shengyi Song Minghe Xia Ji Ce An He Qing Tian Yuanchao Gu Yongchao Guan Bin Wei Xianbin Huang Xiaodong Ren Jiakun Dan Jing Li Shaotong Zhou Hongchun Cai Siqun Zhang Kunlun Wang Qiang Xu Yujuan Wang Zhaohui Zhang Guilin Wang Shuai Guo Yi He Yiwei Zhou Zhanji Zhang Libing Yang Wenkang Zou | 2016 | Matter and Radiation at Extremes2016,1,1: | 19 |
| 5 | Discrimination of abiogenic and biogenic alkane gases显示文摘We have combined the analytical data of the carbon isotope distribution pattern, R/Ra and CH4/3He values of abiogenic and biogenic (referring to the thermogenic and bacterial or microbial) alkane gases in China with those of alkane gases from USA, Russia, Germany, Australia and other countries. Four discrimination criteria are derived from this comparative study: 1) Carbon isotopic composition is generally greater than -30‰ for abiogenic methane and less than -30‰ for biogenic methane; 2) Abiogenic alkane gases have a carbon isotopic reversal trend (δ 13C1> δ 13C2> δ 13C3> δ 13C4) with δ 13C1>-30‰ in general; 3) Gases with R/Ra >0.5 and δ 13C11 δ 13C2>0 are of abiogenic origin; 4) Gases (meth- ane) with CH4/3He≤106 are of abiogenic origin, whereas gases with CH4/3He≥1011 are of biogenic origin. | DAI JinXing ZOU CaiNeng ZHANG ShuiChang LI Jian NI YunYan HU GuoYi LUO Xia TAO ShiZhen ZHU GuangYou MI JingKui LI ZhiSheng HU AnPing YANG Chun ZHOU QingHua SHUAI YanHua ZHANG Ying MA ChengHua | 2008 | Science China Earth Sciences2008,51,12: | 17 |
| 6 | Linking vegetation cover patterns to hydrological responses using two process-based pattern indices at the plot scale显示文摘Vegetation cover pattern is one of the factors controlling hydrological processes.Spatially distributed models are the primary tools previously applied to document the effect of vegetation cover patterns on runoff and soil erosion.Models provide precise estimations of runoff and sediment yields for a given vegetation cover pattern.However,difficulties in parameterization and the problematic explanation of the causes of runoff and sedimentation rates variation weaken prediction capability of these models.Landscape pattern analysis employing pattern indices based on runoff and soil erosion mechanism provides new tools for finding a solution.In this study,the vegetation cover pattern was linked with runoff and soil erosion by two previously developed pattern indices,which were modified in this study,the Directional Leakiness Index(DLI)and Flowlength.Although they use different formats,both indices involve connectivity of sources areas(interpatch bare areas).The indices were revised by bringing in the functional heterogeneity of the plant cover types and the landscape position.Using both artificial and field verified vegetation cover maps,observed runoff and sediment production on experiment plots,we tested the indices’efficiency and compared the indices with their antecedents.The results illustrate that the modified indices are more effective in indicating runoff at the plot/hillslope scale than their antecedents.However,sediment export levels are not provided by the modified indices.This can be attributed to multi-factor interaction on the hydrological process,the feedback mechanism between the hydrological function of cover patterns and threshold phenomena in hydrological processes. | LIU Yu FU BoJie Lü YiHe GAO GuangYao WANG Shuai ZHOU Ji | 2013 | Science China Earth Sciences2013,56,11: | 15 |
| 7 | Effects and mechanisms of electroacupuncture at PC6 on frequency of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation in cats显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at neiguan (PC6) on gastric distention-induced transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs) and discuss the mechanisms of this treatment. METHODS: ProtocolⅠ: Twelve healthy cats underwent gastric distention for 60 min on the first day. Electrical acupoint stimulation was applied at the neiguan or a sham point on the hip in randomized order before gastric distention, on the third day and fifth day. Those cats that underwent EA at neiguan on the fifth day were named 'Neiguan Group' and the cats that underwent EA at a sham acupoint on the fifth day were named 'Sham Group' (control group). During the experiment the frequency of TLESRs and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure were observed by a perfused sleeve assembly. Plasma levels of gastrin (GAS) and motilin (MTL) were determined by radioimmunoassay. Nitrite/nitrate concentration in plasma and tissues were measured by Griess reagent. The nuclei in the brain stem were observed by immunohistochemistry method of c-Fos and NADPH-d dyeing. Protocol Ⅱ: Thirty six healthy cats were divided into 6 groups randomly. We gave saline (2 mL iv. control group), phaclofen (5 mg/kg iv. GABA-B antagonist), cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) (1 μg/kg per hour iv.), L-Arginine (200 mg/kg iv.), naloxone (2.5 μmol/kg iv.) and tacrine (5.6 mg/kg ip. cholinesterase inhibitor) respectively before EA at Neiguan and gastric distention. And the frequencies of TLESRs in experimental groups were compared with the control group.RESULTS: ProtocolⅠ: Not only the frequency of gastric distention-induced TLESR in 60 min but also the rate of common cavity during TLESRs were significantlydecreased by EA at neiguan compared to that of sham acupoint stimulation. C-Fos immunoreactivity and NOS reactivity in the solitarius (NTS) and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) were significantly decreased by EA at neiguan compared to that of the sham group. However, the positive nuclei of C-Fos and NOS in reticular formation of the medulla (RFM) were increased by EA at neiguan. Protocol Ⅱ: The inhibited effect of EA at neiguan on TLESR’s frequency was completely restored by pretreatment with CCK (23.5/h vs 4.5/h, P < 0.05), L-arginine (17.5/h vs 4.5/h, P < 0.05) and naloxone(12/h vs 4.5/h, P < 0.05). On the contrary, phaclofen (6/h vs 4.5/h, P > 0.05) and tacrine (9.5/h vs 4.5/h, P > 0.05) did not influence it. CONCLUSION: Electric acupoint stimulation at Neiguan significantly inhibits the frequency of TLESR and the rate of common cavity during TLESR in cats. This effect appears to act on the brain stem, and may be mediated through nitric oxide (NO), CCK-A receptor and mu-opioid receptors. But the GABAB receptor and acetylcholine may not be involved in it. | Chi Wang De-Feng Zhou Xiao-Wei Shuai Jian-Xiang Liu Peng-Yan Xie | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,36: | 15 |
| 8 | Red-emitting YAG:Ce,Mn transparent ceramics for warm WLEDs application显示文摘A series of YAG:Ce,Mn transparent ceramics were prepared via a solid-state reaction-vacuum sintering method.The effects of various Mn^2+–Si4+pair doping levels on the structure,transmittance,and luminescence properties were systematically investigated.These transparent ceramics have average grain sizes of 10–16μm,clean grain boundaries,and excellent transmittance up to 83.4%at 800 nm.Under the excitation of 460 nm,three obvious emission peaks appear at 533,590,and 745 nm,which can be assigned to the transition 5 d→4 f of Ce^3+and 4 T1→6 A1 of Mn^2+.Thus,the Mn^2+–Si4+pairs can effectively modulate the emission spectrum by compensating broad orange-red and red spectrum component to yield high quality warm white light.After the optimized YAG:Ce,Mn transparent ceramic packaged with blue light-emitting diode(LED)chips,correlated color temperature(CCT)as low as 3723 K and luminous efficiency(LE)as high as 96.54 lm/W were achieved,implying a very promising candidate for application in white light-emitting diodes(WLEDs)industry. | Junrong LING Youfu ZHOU Wentao XU He LIN Shuai LU Bin WANG Kun WANG | 2020 | Journal of Advanced Ceramics2020,9,1: | 15 |
| 9 | A cyclic nucleotide-gated channel mediates cytoplasmic calcium elevation and disease resistance in rice显示文摘The transient elevation of cytoplasmic calcium is essential for pathogen-associated molecular pattern(PAMP)-triggered immunity(PTI).However,the calcium channels responsible for this process have remained unknown.Here,we show that rice CDSI(CELL DEATH and SUSCEPTIBLE to BLAST 1)encoding OsCNGC9;a cyclic nucleotide-gated channel protein,positively regulates the resistance to rice blast disease.We show that OsCNGC9 mediates PAMP-induced Ca2+influx and that this event is critical for PAMPs-triggered ROS burst and induction of PTI-related defense gene expression.We further show that a PTI related receptor-lih cytoplasmic kinase OsRLCK185 physically interacts with and phosphorylates OsCNGC9 to activate its channel activity.Our results suggest a signaling cascade linking pattern recognition to calcium channel activation,which is required for initiation of PTI and disease resistance in rice. | Jiachang Wang Xi Liu An Zhang Yulong Ren Fuqing Wu Gang Wang Yang Xu Cailin Lei Shanshan Zhu Tian Pan Yongfei Wang Huan Zhang Fan Wang Yan-Qiu Tan Yupeng Wang Xin Jin Sheng Luo Chunlei Zhou Xiao Zhang Jinling Liu Shuai Wang Lingzhi Meng Yihua Wang Xi Chen Qibing Lin Xin Zhang Xiuping Guo Zhijun Cheng Jiulin Wang Yunlu Tian Shijia Liu Ling Jiang Chuanyin Wu Ertao Wang Jian-Min Zhou Yong-Fei Wang Haiyang Wang Jianmin Wan | 2019 | Cell Research2019,29,10: | 13 |
| 10 | Electroacupuncture modulates the activity of the hippocampus-nucleus tractus solitarius-vagus nerve pathway to reduce myocardial ischemic injury显示文摘The hippocampus is involved in the regulation of the autonomic nervous system,together with the hypothalamus and brainstem nuclei,such as the paraventricular nucleus and nucleus tractus solitarius.The vagus nerve-nucleus tractus solitarius pathway has an important role in cardiovascular reflex regulation.Myocardial ischemia has been shown to cause changes in the autonomic nervous system,affecting the dynamic equilibrium of the sympathetic and vagal nerves.However,it remains poorly understood how the hippocampus communicates with brainstem nuclei to regulate the autonomic nervous system and alleviate myocardial ischemic tissue damage.A rat model of acute myocardial ischemia(AMI) was made by ligating the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery.Three days before ischemia,the hippocampal CA1 region was damaged.Then,3 days after ischemia,electroacupuncture(EA) at Shenmen(HT7)-Tongli(HT5) was performed(continuous wave,1 m A,2 Hz,duration of 30 minutes).Cluster analysis of firing patterns showed that one type of neuron was found in rats in the sham and AMI groups.Three types of neurons were observed in the AMI + EA group.Six types of neurons were found in the AMI + EA + Lesion group.Correlation analysis showed that the frequency of vagus nerve discharge in each group was negatively correlated with heart rate(HR)(P < 0.05,r =-0.424),and positively correlated with mean arterial pressure(MAP)(P < 0.05,r = 0.40987) and the rate-pressure product(RPP)(P < 0.05,r = 0.4252).The total frequency of the nucleus tractus solitarius discharge in each group was positively correlated with vagus nerve discharge(P < 0.01,r = 0.7021),but not with hemodynamic index(HR: P > 0.05,r =-0.03263; MAP: P > 0.05,r =-0.08993; RPP: P > 0.05,r =-0.03263).Some neurons(Neuron C) were negatively correlated with vagus nerve discharge,HR,MAP and RPP in the AMI + EA group(vagus nerve discharge: P < 0.05,r =-0.87749; HR: P < 0.01,r =-0.91902; MAP: P < 0.05,r =-0.85691; RPP: P < 0.01,r =-0.91902).Some neurons(Neurons C,D and E) were positively correlated with vagus nerve discharge,HR,MAP and RPP in the AMI + EA + Lesion group(vagus nerve discharge: P < 0.01,r = 0.8905,P < 0.01,r = 0.9725,P < 0.01,r = 0.9054; HR: P < 0.01,r = 0.9347,P < 0.01,r = 0.9089,P < 0.05,r = 0.8247; MAP: P < 0.05,r = 0.8474,P < 0.01,r = 0.9691,P < 0.01,r = 0.9027; RPP: P < 0.05,r = 0.8637,P < 0.01,r = 0.9407,P < 0.01,r = 0.9027).These findings show that the hippocampus-nucleus tractus solitarius-vagus nerve pathway is involved in the cardioprotective effect of EA at the heart meridian.Some interneurons in the nucleus tractus solitarius may play a particularly important role in the cardiomodulatory process. | Shuai Cui Kun Wang Sheng-Bing Wu Guo-Qi Zhu Jian Cao Yi-Ping Zhou Mei-Qi Zhou | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,9: | 13 |
| 11 | A review of fire-extinguishing agent on suppressing lithium-ion batteries fire显示文摘Safety issue of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)such as fires and explosions is a significant challenge for their large scale applications.Considering the continuously increased battery energy density and wider large-scale battery pack applications,the possibility of LIBs fire significantly increases.Because of the fast burning and the easy re-ignition characteristics of LIBs,achieving an efficient and prompt LIBs fire suppression is critical for minimizing the fire hazards.Different from conventional fire hazards,the LIBs fire shows complicated and comprehensive characteristics,and an effective and suitable fire-extinguishing agent particularly designed for LIBs is highly desirable.Considerable efforts have been devoted to this topic,to the best of our knowledge,a comprehensive review on this regard is still rare.Moreover,in practice,a guidance for the design and selections of a proper fire-extinguishing agent for LIBs is urgently needed.Herein,the special mechanisms and characteristics for LIBs fire and the corresponding design principles for LIBs fire-extinguishing agent were introduced.It is revealed that a fire-extinguishing agent developed for LIBs fire will most likely need a high heat capacity,high wetting,low viscosity and low electrical conductivity.After a comprehensive comparison of these agents in terms of these performances,water-based fire-extinguishing agents show best.Several typical fire-extinguishing agents such as gaseous agents,dry powders,water-based and aerosol fire-extinguishing agents were then introduced,and their fire extinguishment mechanisms were presented.Finally,their effectiveness in suppressing the fire were summarized.Water-based fire-extinguishing agents possess high cooling capacity and excellent anti-reflash performance for the fire.We believe this review could shed light on developing an efficient fire-extinguishing agent particularly designed for LIBs. | Shuai Yuan Chongye Chang Shuaishuai Yan Pan Zhou Xinming Qian Mengqi Yuan Kai Liu | 2021 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2021,30,11: | 13 |
| 12 | Heme oxygenase-1 protects rat liver against warm ischemia/reperfusion injury via TLR2/TLR4-triggered signaling pathways显示文摘AIM:To investigate the efficacy and molecularmechanisms of induced heme oxygenase(HO)-1 in protecting liver from warm ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury.METHODS:Partial warm ischemia was produced in the left and middle hepatic lobes of SD rats for 75min,followed by 6 h of reperfusion.Rats were treated with saline,cobalt protoporphyrin(Co PP)or zinc protoporphyrin(Zn PP)at 24 h prior to the ischemia insult.Blood and samples of ischemic lobes subjected to ischemia were collected at 6 h after reperfusion.Serum transaminases level,plasma lactate dehydrogenase and myeloperoxidase activity in liver were measured.Liver histological injury and inflammatory cell infiltration were evaluated by tissue section and liver immunohistochemical analysis.We used quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to analyze liver expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.The cell lysates were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-Toll-IL-1R-containing adaptor inducing interferon-β(TRIF)and anti-myeloid differentiation factor 88(My D88),and then the immunoprecipitates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies.RESULTS:HO-1 protected livers from I/R injury,as evidenced by diminished liver enzymes and wellpreserved tissue architecture.In comparison with Zn PP livers 6 h after surgery,Co PP treatment livers showed a significant increase inflammatory cell infiltration of lymphocytes,plasma cells,neutrophils and macrophages.The Toll-like receptor(TLR)-4 and TANK binding kinase1 protein levels of rats treated with Co PP significantly reduced in TRIF-immunoprecipitated complex,as compared with Zn PP treatment.In addition,pretreatment with Co PP reduced the expression levels of TLR2,TLR4,IL-1R-associated kinase(IRAK)-1 and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 in My D88-immunoprecipitated complex.The inflammatory cytokines and chemokines m RNA expression rapidly decreased inCo PP-pretreated liver,compared with the Zn PP-treated group.However,the expression of negative regulators Tollinteracting protein,suppressor of cytokine signaling-1,IRAK-M and Src homology 2 domain-containing inositol-5-phosphatase-1 in Co PP treatment rats were markedly up-regulated as compared with Zn PP-treated rats.CONCLUSION:HO-1 protects liver against I/R injury by inhibiting TLR2/TLR4-triggered My D88-and TRIFdependent signaling pathways and increasing expression of negative regulators of TLR signaling in rats. | Han-Fei Huang Zhong Zeng Kun-Hua Wang Hai-Yan Zhang Shuai Wang Wen-Xiang Zhou Zhan-Bo Wang Wang-Gang Xu Jian Duan | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,10: | 12 |
| 13 | Spatial distribution, seasonal variation and regionalization of PM_(2.5) concentrations in China显示文摘In order to provide scientific support to policy makers in the regulation of PM2.5 pollution in China, it is important to accurately assess the current status, spatiotemporal characteristics and regionalization data for this air pollutant. An analysis of the pollution status of PM2.5 was conducted using daily averaged mass concentration data recorded in 74 cities in 2013 and 161 cities in 2014. The rotated empirical orthogonal function(REOF) method was applied to analyze this data. Results showed that the average annual PM2.5 concentration in urban areas of China is 62.2±21.5 ?g/m3, and that the distribution is spatially heterogeneous. The North China Plain, middle and lower Yangtze River Plain, Sichuan Basin and Guanzhong Plain had relatively high annual PM2.5 concentrations compared with the southeast coastal region, the Tibetan Plateau and the Yungui Plateau. PM2.5 mass concentrations tended to be higher in winter than in summer, however, the data for many cities showed a small peak in concentrations from May to July. An analysis of the spatial correlation of PM2.5 indicated a significant influence of topographic conditions. A lower correlation was observed where terrain features varied greatly. Based on the results of the REOF analysis and topographic characteristics, ten regions were identified in mid-eastern China, which could be considered as basic pollution prevention divisions for PM2.5; these include the North China Plain region, Pearl River Delta region, Jianghuai Plain region, middle Yangtze River Plain region, Northeast Plain region, Jiangnan coastal region, Sichuan Basin region, Qiantao Plain region, Guanzhong-Central Plain region and Yungui Plateau region. Seasonal variations in the regionalization data were observed, especially for the North China Plain and Pearl River Delta regions. Among the ten regions identified in this study, the North China Plain, Guanzhong-Central Plain, middle Yangtze River Plain and Jianghuai Plain had relatively high PM2.5 mass concentrations in comparison with the others. Therefore, these regions should be considered as the key regions to target in developing PM2.5 pollution prevention strategies. This study improves the present understanding of the spatial distribution, seasonal changes and regional status of PM2.5 pollution in China and helps establish possible control strategies for the reduction of this air pollutant. | Shuai Wang Guogang Li Zhengyu Gong Li Du Qingtao Zhou Xiaoyan Meng Shuyan Xie Lei Zhou | 2015 | Science China Chemistry2015,58,9: | 12 |
| 14 | Contamination of Phthalate Esters in Vegetable Agriculture and Human Cumulative Risk Assessment显示文摘Phthalate esters(PAEs), which can disturb human endocrine system, have been widely detected in vegetable greenhouse agriculture in China. To investigate the effects of environmental factors on PAEs in soils, pollution sources were identified, and the cumulative risks of PAEs to humans through vegetables in the diet were evaluated in this study. Ninety-eight vegetable samples were collected from 10 markets along with 128 vegetable and 111 soil samples from agricultural greenhouses and open field. All soil and vegetable samples were contaminated with PAEs, and the total concentrations of the 5 PAEs, including dimethyl phthalate(DMP), diethyl phthalate(DEP), di-iso-butyl phthalate(DiBP), di-n-butyl phthalate(DnBP), and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP), were in the ranges of 0.26–2.53 mg kg^(-1) for soils and 0.95–8.09 mg kg^(-1) for vegetables. Three components extracted from principle component analysis could explain 51.2%, 19.8%, and 15.3% of the total variance of the 5 PAEs in soils, which may represent three major sources of PAEs, i.e., wastewater irrigation, application of fertilizers and pesticides, and plastic film. Long-term greenhouse cultivation could accumulate DEHP in soils, and a higher soil Fe Ox content reduced the Dn BP concentration. Based on a survey of vegetables in the diet, the hazard index of PAEs was < 0.15 for individuals in different cities. The exposure of PAEs through vegetable intake was higher than the total exposure from other food stuffs, inhalation, and dermal absorption. More attention should be given to controlling PAEs in greenhouse vegetables. | CHEN Ning SHUAI Wenjuan HAO Xinmei ZHANG Huichun ZHOU Dongmei GAO Juan | 2017 | Pedosphere2017,27,3: | 12 |

| 16 | Artificial intelligence system of faster region-based convolutional neural network surpassing senior radiologists in evaluation of metastatic lymph nodes of rectal cancer显示文摘Background: An artificial intelligence system of Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) is newly developed for the diagnosis of metastatic lymph node (LN) in rectal cancer patients. The primary objective of this study was to comprehensively verify its accuracy in clinical use. Methods: Four hundred fourteen patients with rectal cancer discharged between January 2013 and March 2015 were collected from 6 clinical centers, and the magnetic resonance imaging data for pelvic metastatic LNs of each patient was identified by Faster R-CNN. Faster R-CNN based diagnoses were compared with radiologist based diagnoses and pathologist based diagnoses for methodological verification, using correlation analyses and consistency check. For clinical verification, the patients were retrospectively followed up by telephone for 36 months, with post-operative recurrence of rectal cancer as a clinical outcome;recurrence-free survivals of the patients were compared among different diagnostic groups, by methods of Kaplan-Meier and Cox hazards regression model. Results: Significant correlations were observed between any 2 factors among the numbers of metastatic LNs separately diagnosed by radiologists, Faster R-CNN and pathologists, as evidenced by rradiologist-Faster R-CNN of 0.912, rPathologist-radiologist of 0.134, and rPathologist-Faster R-CNN of 0.448 respectively. The value of kappa coefficient in N staging between Faster R-CNN and pathologists was 0.573, and this value between radiologists and pathologists was 0.473. The 3 groups of Faster R-CNN, radiologists and pathologists showed no significant differences in the recurrence-free survival time for stage N0 and N1 patients, but significant differences were found for stage N2 patients. Conclusion: Faster R-CNN surpasses radiologists in the evaluation of pelvic metastatic LNs of rectal cancer, but is not on par with pathologists. | Lei Ding Guang-Wei Liu Bao-Chun Zhao Yun-Peng Zhou Shuai Li Zheng-Dong Zhang Yu-Ting Guo Ai-Qin Li Yun Lu Hong-Wei Yao Wei-Tang Yuan Gui-Ying Wang Dian-Liang Zhang Lei Wang | 2019 | Chinese Medical Journal2019,,4: | 11 |
| 17 | Solution structure of the RNA recognition domain of METTL3-METTL14 N^6-methyladenosine methyltransferase显示文摘N^6-methyladenosine(m6A),a ubiquitous RNA modification,is installed by METTL3-METTL14 complex.The structure of the heterodimeric complex between the methyltransferase domains(MTDs)of METTL3 and METTL14 has been previously determined.However,the MTDs alone possess no enzymatic activity.Here we present the solution structure for the zinc finger domain(ZFD)of METTL3,the inclusion of which fulfills the methyltransferase activity of METTL3-METTL14.We show that the ZFD specifically binds to an RNA containing 5'-GGACU-3'consensus sequence,but does not to one without.The ZFD thus serves as the target recognition domain,a structural feature previously shown for DNA methyltransferases,and cooperates with the MTDs of METTL3-METTL14 for catalysis.However,the interaction between the ZFD and the specific RNA is extremely weak,with the binding affinity at several hundred micromolar under physiological conditions.The ZFD contains two CCCH-type zinc fingers connected by an anti-parallel P-sheet.Mutational analysis and NMR titrations have mapped the functional interface to a contiguous surface.As a division of labor,the RNA-binding interface comprises basic residues from zinc finger 1 and hydrophobic residues fromβ-sheet and zinc finger 2.Further we show that the linker between the ZFD and MTD of METTL3 is flexible but partially folded,which may permit the cooperation between the two domains during catalysis.Together,the structural characterization of METTL3 ZFD paves the way to elucidate the atomic details of the entire process of RNA m6A modification. | Jinbo Huang Xu Dong Zhou Gong Ling-Yun Qin Shuai Yang Yue-Ling Zhu Xiang Wang Delin Zhang Tingting Zou Ping Yin Chun Tang | 2019 | Protein & Cell2019,10,4: | 11 |
| 18 | First mass measurement of short-lived nuclides at HIRFL-CSR显示文摘Recent commissioning of the HIRFL-CSR has demonstrated its ability to perform direct mass measurement for short-lived nuclides. Projectile fragments produced by the 78Kr ions at 481.88 MeV/u were separated with the new radioactive beam line in Lanzhou (RIBLL2), and injected into and stored in the experimental storage ring (CSRe). By operating the CSRe as an isochronous mass spectrometry, a typical mass resolution around 2.0×10?5 has been achieved. The masses for 63Ge, 65As and 67Se were measured for the first time. The measured masses are compared with theoretical predictions and the location of the proton drip-line for As isotopes is discussed. The implication of the 65As mass in the astrophysical rapid proton capture process has also been addressed. | XU HuShan TU XiaoLin YUAN YouJin XIA JiaWen ZANG YongDong WANG Meng MAO RuiShi HU ZhengGuo MEI Bo SHUAI Peng ZHU ZhiChao TANG ShuWen GENG Peng LIU Yong ZHAO TieCheng ZHANG XueYing YANG JianCheng MAO LiJun ZHANG YuHu ZHOU XiaoHong HUANG WenXue XIAO GuoQing ZHAO HongWei ZHAN WenLong | 2009 | Chinese Science Bulletin2009,54,24: | 11 |
| 19 | Limb remote ischemic postconditioning protects integrity of the blood-brain barrier after stroke显示文摘Integrity of the blood-brain barrier structure is essential for maintaining the internal environment of the brain.Development of cerebral infarction and brain edema is strongly associated with blood-brain barrier leakage.Therefore,studies have suggested that protecting the blood-brain barrier may be an effective method for treating acute stroke.To examine this possibility,stroke model rats were established by middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion.Remote ischemic postconditioning was immediately induced by three cycles of 10-minute ischemia/10-minute reperfusion of bilateral hind limbs at the beginning of middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion.Neurological function of rat models was evaluated using Zea Longa's method.Permeability of the blood-brain barrier was assessed by Evans blue leakage.Infarct volume and brain edema were evaluated using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining.Expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and claudin-5 m RNA was determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.Expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and claudin-5 protein was measured by western blot assay.The number of matrix metalloproteinase-9-and claudin-5-positive cells was analyzed using immunohistochemistry.Our results showed that remote ischemic postconditioning alleviated disruption of the blood-brain barrier,reduced infarct volume and edema,decreased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 m RNA and protein and the number of positive cells,increased expression of claudin-5 m RNA and protein and the number of positive cells,and remarkably improved neurological function.These findings confirm that by suppressing expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and claudin-5 induced by acute ischemia/reperfusion,remote ischemic postconditioning reduces blood-brain barrier injury,mitigates ischemic injury,and exerts protective effects on the brain. | Juan Li Xiao-Song Hu Fang-Fang Zhou Shuai Li You-Sheng Lin Wen-Qian Qi Cun-Fang Qi Xiao Zhang | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,9: | 11 |
| 20 | Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Effectively Alleviates Arrhythmias in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea:Possible Relationship with Counteracting Oxidative Stress显示文摘This work is aimed at exploring the clinical efficacy of continuous positive airway pressuie(CPAP)in treatment of patients with arrhythmias combined with obstructive sleep apnea(OSA).Through evaluating serum native thiol,malonaldehyde(MDA)and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase(NADPH oxidase)in these patients and describing the effects on oxidative parameters of CPAP therapy for 3 months,we confirmed the impact of oxidative stress on arrhythmias.A total of 64 patients with OSA combined with arrhythmias were collected from April 2014 to April 2017 with full clinical information.Patients were divided into two groups(paired experiment design):32 patients in group A(control group),who received unchanged anti-arrhythmia treatment and 32 patients in group B,who were subjected to unchanged pharmacological anti-arrhythmia therapy combined with CPAP.OSA related parameters were compared between the two groups after 3-month therapy.And the levels of parameters of oxidative stress in patients were measured before and after CPAP therapy.After 3 months of CPAP therapy,compared with the control group,the percentage of sage N3(NREM 3)and stage R(REM)in total sleep time was significantly increased,while apnea-hypopnea index(AHI)and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS)score were evidently decreased.Meanwhile,the lowest oxygen saturation(LSpCh)was also elevated after CPAP treatment for 3 months.The CPAP therapy significantly prevented the occurrence of arrhythmias(P<0.05).Both the MDA level and NADPH oxidase levels were significantly lower in the group B than in the group A(P<0.05).But serum native thiol was improved by CPAP treatment(P<0.05).In conclusion,proper use of CPAP therapy provides significant benefits for the treatment of arrhythmia in patients with OSA. | Xiao-ting WANG Gang ZHAO Ling TU Zhi-yong YUE Zhen-hua LIU Jie HAN Kun GAO Xuan-chen ZHOU Shuai XU Jian-feng LI | 2019 | Current Medical Science2019,39,1: | 10 |
