| 1 | The Dihedral Angle and Intersection Processes of a Conjugate Strike-Slip Fault System in the Tarim Basin, NW China显示文摘Recent studies, focused on dihedral angles and intersection processes, have increased understandings of conjugate fault mechanisms. We present new 3-D seismic data and microstructural core analysis in a case study of a large conjugate strike-slip fault system from the intracratonic Tarim Basin, NW China. Within our study area, 'X' type NE and NW trending faults occur within CambrianOrdovician carbonates. The dihedral angles of these conjugate faults have narrow ranges, 19° to 62° in the Cambrian and 26° to 51° in the Ordovician, and their modes are 42° and 44° respectively. These data are significantly different from the ~60° predicted by the Coulomb fracture criterion. It is concluded that:(1) The dihedral angles of the conjugate faults were not controlled by confining pressure, which was low and associated with shallow burial;(2) As dihedral angles were not controlled by pressure they can be used to determine the shortening direction during faulting;(3) Sequential slip may have played an important role in forming conjugate fault intersections;(4) The conjugate fault system of the Tarim basin initiated as rhombic joints; these subsequently developed into sequentially active 'X' type conjugate faults; followed by preferential development of the NW-trending faults; then reactivation of the NE trending faults. This intact rhombic conjugate fault system presents new insights into mechanisms of dihedral angle development, with particular relevance to intracratonic basins. | WU Guanghui YUAN Yajuan HUANG Shaoying Thomas Matthew Vandyk XIAO Yang CAI Quan LUO Bingxu | 2018 | Acta Geologica Sinica(English Edition)2018,92,1: | 19 |
| 2 | Atrial fibrillation显示文摘Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia affecting patients today.Disease prevalence is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide,and is associated with often catastrophic and costly consequences,including heart failure,syncope,dementia,and stroke.Therapies including anticoagulants,anti-arrhythmic medications,devices,and non-pharmacologic procedures in the last 30 years have improved patients' functionality with the disease.Nonetheless,it remains imperative that further research into AF epidemiology,genetics,detection,and treatments continues to push forward rapidly as the worldwide population ages dramatically over the next 20 years. | Thomas M.Munger Li-Qun Wu Win K.Shen | 2014 | The Journal of Biomedical Research2014,28,1: | 17 |

| 5 | The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission—eXTP显示文摘In this paper we present the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission—eXTP. eXTP is a space science mission designed to study fundamental physics under extreme conditions of density, gravity and magnetism. The mission aims at determining the equation of state of matter at supra-nuclear density, measuring effects of QED, and understanding the dynamics of matter in strong-field gravity. In addition to investigating fundamental physics, eXTP will be a very powerful observatory for astrophysics that will provide observations of unprecedented quality on a variety of galactic and extragalactic objects. In particular, its wide field monitoring capabilities will be highly instrumental to detect the electro-magnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources.The paper provides a detailed description of:(1) the technological and technical aspects, and the expected performance of the instruments of the scientific payload;(2) the elements and functions of the mission, from the spacecraft to the ground segment. | ShuangNan Zhang Andrea Santangelo Marco Feroci YuPeng Xu FangJun Lu Yong Chen Hua Feng Shu Zhang Sφren Brandt Margarita Hernanz Luca Baldini Enrico Bozzo Riccardo Campana Alessandra De Rosa YongWei Dong Yuri Evangelista Vladimir Karas Norbert Meidinger Aline Meuris Kirpal Nandra Teng Pan Giovanni Pareschi Piotr Orleanski QiuShi Huang Stephane Schanne Giorgia Sironi Daniele Spiga Jiri Svoboda Gianpiero Tagliaferri Christoph Tenzer Andrea Vacchi Silvia Zane Dave Walton ZhanShan Wang Berend Winter Xin Wu Jean J.M.in't Zand Mahdi Ahangarianabhari Giovanni Ambrosi Filippo Ambrosino Marco Barbera Stefano Basso Jörg Bayer Ronaldo Bellazzini Pierluigi Bellutti Bruna Bertucci Giuseppe Bertuccio Giacomo Borghi XueLei Cao Franck Cadoux Francesco Ceraudo TianXiang Chen Yu Peng Chen Jerome Chevenez Marta Civitani Wei Cui WeiWei Cui Thomas Dauser Ettore Del Monte Sergio Di Cosimo Sebastian Diebold Victor Doroshenko Michal Dovciak YuanYuan Du Lorenzo Ducci QingMei Fan Yannick Favre Fabio Fuschino JoséLuis Ga'lvez Min Gao MingYu Ge Olivier Gevin Marco Grassi QuanYing Gu YuDong Gu DaWei Han Bin Hong Wei Hu Long Ji ShuMei Jia WeiChun Jiang Thomas Kennedy Ingo Kreykenbohm Irfan Kuvvetli Claudio Labanti Luca Latronico Gang Li MaoShun Li Xian Li Wei Li ZhengWei Li Olivier Limousin HongWei Liu XiaoJing Liu Bo Lu Tao Luo Daniele Macera Piero Malcovati Adrian Martindale Malgorzata Michalska Bin Meng Massimo Minuti Alfredo Morbidini Fabio Muleri Stephane Paltani Emanuele Perinati Antonino Picciotto Claudio Piemonte JinLu Qu Alexandre Rachevski Irina Rashevskaya Jerome Rodriguez Thomas Schanz ZhengXiang Shen LiZhi Sheng JiangBo Song LiMing Song Carmelo Sgro Liang Sun Ying Tan Phil Uttley Bo Wang DianLong Wang GuoFeng Wang Juan Wang LangPing Wang YuSa Wang Anna L.Watts XiangYang Wen Jörn Wilms ShaoLin Xiong JiaWei Yang Sheng Yang YanJi Yang Nian Yu WenDa Zhang Gianluigi Zampa Nicola Zampa Andrzej A.Zdziarski AiMei Zhang ChengMo Zhang Fan Zhang Long Zhang Tong Zhang Yi Zhang XiaoLi Zhang ZiLiang Zhang BaoSheng Zhao ShiJie Zheng Yu Peng Zhou Nicola Zorzi J.Frans Zwart | 2019 | Science China(Physics,Mechanics & Astronomy)2019,62,2: | 11 |
| 6 | 11.2% Efficiency all-polymer solar cells with high open-circuit voltage显示文摘Herein,we fabricated all-polymer solar cells(all-PSCs)based on a fluorinated wide-bandgap p-type conjugated polymer PM6 as the donor,and a narrow bandgap n-type conjugated polymer PZ1 as the acceptor.In addition to the complementary absorption and matching energy levels,the optimized blend films possess high cystallinity,predominantly face-on stacking,and a suitable phase separated morphology.With this active layer,the devices exhibited a high Vocof 0.96 V,a superior Jscof 17.1 mA cm^-2,a fine fill factor(FF)of 68.2%,and thus an excellent power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 11.2%,which is the highest value reported to date for single-junction all-PSCs.Furthermore,the devices showed good storage stability.After 80 d of storage in the N2-filled glovebox,the PCE still remained over 90%of the original value.Large-area devices(1.1 cm^2)also demonstrated an outstanding performance with a PCE of 9.2%,among the highest values for the reported large-area all-PSCs.These results indicate that the PM6:PZ1 blend is a promising candidate for scale-up production of large area high-performance all-PSCs. | Yuan Meng Jingnan Wu Xia Guo Wenyan Su Lei Zhu Jin Fang Zhi-Guo Zhang Feng Liu Maojie Zhang Thomas P.

| 7 | Estimation of diaphragm wall deflections for deep braced excavation in anisotropic clays using ensemble learning显示文摘This paper adopts the NGI-ADP soil model to carry out finite element analysis,based on which the effects of soft clay anisotropy on the diaphragm wall deflections in the braced excavation were evaluated.More than one thousand finite element cases were numerically analyzed,followed by extensive parametric studies.Surrogate models were developed via ensemble learning methods(ELMs),including the e Xtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost),and Random Forest Regression(RFR)to predict the maximum lateral wall deformation(δhmax).Then the results of ELMs were compared with conventional soft computing methods such as Decision Tree Regression(DTR),Multilayer Perceptron Regression(MLPR),and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines(MARS).This study presents a cutting-edge application of ensemble learning in geotechnical engineering and a reasonable methodology that allows engineers to determine the wall deflection in a fast,alternative way. | Runhong Zhang Chongzhi Wu Anthony T.C.Goh Thomas Bohlke Wengang Zhang | 2021 | Geoscience Frontiers2021,12,1: | 9 |

| 9 | Tectonic contrast between the conjugate margins of the South China Sea and the implication for the differential extensional model显示文摘The extensional model of the South China Sea(SCS)has been widely studied,but remains under debate.Based on the latest high-quality multi-channel seismic data,bathymetric data,and other obtained seismic profiles,the asymmetric characteristics between the conjugate margins of the SCS are revealed and extensional model of the SCS margin is discussed further.Spatial variation of morphology,basement structure,and marginal faults are discovered among the SCS margin profiles.As for the NS-trending variation,the basement of northern margin displays in the shape of step downwards to the sea,while the basement of southern margin is composed of wide rotated and tilted blocks,without any obvious bathymetric change.The variation also exists in the development of marginal faults between the conjugate margins,and detachment fault system is identified on the southern margin.Along the southern margin from east to west,the Eastern and Southwestern Basins developed different structural units.Based on the tectonic contrast of the conjugate margins,differential extensional model is proposed to explain the spatial variation of the SCS structure,which introduces detachment faults controlling the evolution of the SCS.The upper crust above the detachment fault was deformed by simple shear,while the lower crust and upper mantle below the detachment fault was deformed by pure shear.Because of the different lateral transfer between the upper brittle faulting and the lower ductile extensional regions,there developed marginal plateau(Liyue basin)and outer rise(Zhenghe massif)on the lower plate margin of the Eastern Basin and the Southwestern Basin,respectively.The evolution of the present SCS may be influenced by the diachronous close of the paleo-SCS. | DONG DongDong WU ShiGuo LI JiaBiao Thomas LüDMANN | 2014 | Science China Earth Sciences2014,57,6: | 7 |
| 10 | Genetic association and epistatic interaction of the interleukin-10 signaling pathway in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease显示文摘AIM To study the genetic association and epistatic interaction of the interleukin(IL)-10 and IL-10/STAT3 pathways in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). METHODS A total of 159 pediatric inflammatory IBD patients(Crohn's disease,n = 136; ulcerative colitis,n = 23) and 129 matched controls were studied for genetic association of selected single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) of the IL-10 gene and the genes IL10 RA,IL10 RB,STAT3,and HO1,from the IL-10/STAT3 signaling pathway. As interactions between SNPs from different loci may significantly affect the associated risk for disease,additive(a) and dominant(d) modeling of SNP interactions was also performed to examine highorder epistasis between combinations of the individual SNPs. RESULTS The results showed that IL-10 rs304496 was associated with pediatric IBD(P = 0.022),but no association was found for two other IL-10 SNPs,rs1800872 and rs2034498,or for SNPs in genes IL10 RA,IL10 RB,STAT3,and HO1. However,analysis of epistatic interaction among these genes showed significant interactions:(1) between two IL-10 SNPs rs1800872 and rs3024496(additive-additive P = 0.00015,Bonferroni P value(Bp) = 0.003);(2) between IL-10 RB rs2834167 and HO1 rs2071746(dominant-additive,P = 0.0018,Bp = 0.039); and(3) among IL-10 rs1800872,IL10 RB rs2834167,and HO1 rs2071746(additivedominant-additive,P = 0.00015,Bp = 0.005),as well as weak interactions among IL-10 rs1800872,IL-10 rs3024496,and IL-10RA(additive-additive-additive,P = 0.003; Bp = 0.099),and among IL10 RA,IL10 RB,and HO1 genes(additive-dominant-additive,P = 0.008,Bp = 0.287).CONCLUSION These results indicate that both the IL-10 gene itself,and through epistatic interaction with genes within the IL-10/STAT3 signaling pathway,contribute to the risk of pediatric IBD. | Zhenwu Lin Zhong Wang John P Hegarty Tony R Lin Yunhua Wang Sue Deiling Rongling Wu Neal J Thomas Joanna Floros | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,27: | 5 |
| 11 | A novel high resolution model without open boundary conditions applied to the China Seas: first investigation on tides显示文摘We developed a Global Ocean Circulation and Tide Model (GOCTM) with coarse grids in the open deep ocean degrading ‘smoothly’ into the highly resolved China Seas (CS) of refined grids to study the tides and circulation there.GOCTM is based on the framework of the Finite Volume approach for better mass conservation through improved transports across the discrete individual control volume.It also takes a full advantage of the geometric flexibility of unstructured mesh using a realistic global topography including the Arctic Ocean.The CS are given a special focus by refining the unstructured grids,but they are embedded into global domain naturally.Furthermore,GOCTM not only successfully avoids the treatment of the open boundaries,but also optimizes the trade-off between computational cost and model accuracy.Meanwhile,GOCTM is driven by the astronomical tide-generating potential and the secondary tide-generating potential directly,together with the wind stress and heat flux.GOCTM succeeds in reproducing the global eight principal tidal harmonic constants.Particularly,the simulated tidal results in the CS are improved compared to some other regional models with the discrepancy of 3.9 cm for M 2 tide.This idea of GOCTM can also be referred for other regional ocean study. | YU Huaming CHEN Xueen BAO Xianwen Thomas Pohlmann WU Dexing | 2010 | Acta Oceanologica Sinica2010,29,6: | 5 |

| 13 | Gene expression profile of peripheral blood in colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM:Optimal molecular markers for detecting colorectal cancer(CRC)in a blood-based assay were evaluated.METHODS:A matched(by variables of age and sex)case-control design(111 CRC and 227 non-cancer samples)was applied.Total RNAs isolated from the338 blood samples were reverse-transcribed,and the relative transcript levels of candidate genes were analyzed.The training set was made of 162 random samples of the total 338 samples.A logistic regression analysis was performed,and odds ratios for each gene were determined between CRC and non-cancer.The samples(n=176)in the testing set were used to validate the logistic model,and an inferred performance(generality)was verified.By pooling 12 public microarray datasets(GSE 4107,4183,8671,9348,10961,13067,13294,13471,14333,15960,17538,and 18105),which included 519 cases of adenocarcinoma and 88 controls of normal mucosa,we were able to verify the selected genes from logistic models and estimate their external generality.RESULTS:The logistic regression analysis resulted in the selection of five significant genes(P<0.05;MDM2,DUSP6,CPEB4,MMD,and EIF2S3),with odds ratios of 2.978,6.029,3.776,0.538 and 0.138,respectively.The five-gene model performed stably for the discrimination of CRC cases from controls in the training set,with accuracies ranging from 73.9%to 87.0%,a sensitivity of 95%and a specificity of 95%.In addition,a good performance in the test set was obtained using the discrimination model,providing 83.5%ac-curacy,66.0%sensitivity,92.0%specificity,a positive predictive value of 89.2%and a negative predictive value of 73.0%.Multivariate logistic regressions analyzed 12 pooled public microarray data sets as an external validation.Models that provided similar expected and observed event rates in subgroups were termed well calibrated.A model in which MDM2,DUSP6,CPEB4,MMD,and EIF2S3 were selected showed the result in logistic regression analysis(H-L P=0.460,R2=0.853,AUC=0.978,accuracy=0.949,specificity=0.818 and sensitivity=0.971).CONCLUSION:A novel gene expression profile was associated with CRC and can potentially be applied to blood-based detection assays. | Yu-Tien Chang Chi-Shuan Huang Chung-Tay Yao Sui-Lung Su Harn-Jing Terng Hsiu-Ling Chou Yu-Ching Chou Kang-Hua Chen Yun-Wen Shih Chian-Yu Lu Ching-Huang Lai Chen-En Jian Chiao-Huang Lin Chien-Ting Chen Yi-Syuan Wu Ke-Shin Lin Thomas Wetter Chi-Wen Chang Chi-Ming Chu | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,39: | 4 |

| 16 | Th1 cytokines promote T-cell binding to antigen-presenting cells via enhanced hyaluronan production and accumulation at the immune synapse显示文摘Hyaluronan(HA)production by dendritic cells(DCs)is known to promote antigen presentation and to augment T-cell activation and proliferation.We hypothesized that pericellular HA can function as intercellular‘glue’directly mediating T cell–DC binding.Using primary human cells,we observed HA-dependent binding between T cells and DCs,which was abrogated upon pre-treatment of the DCs with 4-methylumbelliferone(4-MU),an agent which blocks HA synthesis.Furthermore,T cells regulate HA production by DCs via T cell-derived cytokines in a T helper(Th)subset-specific manner,as demonstrated by the observation that cell-culture supernatants from Th1 but not Th2 clones promote HA production.Similar effects were seen upon the addition of exogenous Th1 cytokines,IL-2,interferon c(IFN-c)and tumor necrosis factor a(TNF-a).The critical factors which determined the extent of DC–T cell binding in this system were the nature of the pre-treatment the DCs received and their capacity to synthesize HA,as T-cell clones which were pre-treated with monensin,added to block cytokine secretion,bound equivalently irrespective of their Th subset.These data support the existence of a feedforward loop wherein T-cell cytokines influence DC production of HA,which in turn affects the extent of DC–T cell binding.We also document the presence of focal deposits of HA at the immune synapse between T-cells and APC and on dendritic processes thought to be important in antigen presentation.These data point to a pivotal role for HA in DC–T cell interactions at the IS. | Paul L Bollyky Stephen P Evanko Rebecca P Wu Susan Potter-Perigo S Alice Long Brian Kinsella Helena Reijonen Kelly Guebtner Brandon Teng Christina K Chan Kathy R Braun John A Gebe Gerald T Nepom Thomas N Wight | 2010 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2010,7,3: | 3 |
| 17 | Experiences and benefits of positron emitted tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) combined with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in the diagnosis of Stage 1 sarcoidosis显示文摘Background: The purpose of this study was to describe our experiences and analyze the benefits of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) combined with positron emitted tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of patients with early (Stage 1) sarcoidosis. Methods: From 1995 to 2006, seven patients (two males, five females), with ages ranging from 26 to 58 years, were impressed with Stage 1 sarcoidosis (mediastinal or hilar lymph nodes involvements without lung in- volvement) by histological examination of intrathoracic lymph nodes (LNs) and/or lung parenchyma taken from VATS biopsy. Three of them received PET or PET-CT evaluation. VATS was approached from the right and left side in one and six patients, respectively, according to the locations of their lesions. Results: All the VATS biopsied LNs or lung specimens were adequate for establishing diagnosis. Mediastinal LNs were taken from Groups 3, 4 in four, Group 7 in two, and Groups 5, 6 in one of them. Hilar LNs biopsies were performed in four cases. Lung biopsy was performed in all but two cases. All of them were expressed pathologically or radiologically as Stage 1 sarcoidosis. PET-CT revealed high emission signals over these affected LNs. These patients received oral steroid treatment or follow up only. All of them were followed up from 5 months to 11 years with satis- factory results. Conclusion: VATS biopsy is a minimally invasive, safe and effective procedure. It can be used as a diagnostic alternative of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB), and can harvest larger and more areas of specimens than mediastinoscopy for staging patients with sarcoidosis. PET-CT can provide us more accurate information about the characteristics and localization of these lesions before biopsy. VATS combined with PET-CT can provide more accurate and earlier diagnosis of patients with unknown intrathoracic lesions, including the sarcoidosis. | LUH Shi-ping WU Tzu-chin WANG Yao-tung TSAO Thomas Chang-yao CHEN Jia-yuh | 2007 | Journal of Zhejiang University-Science B(Biomedicine & Biotechnology)2007,8,6: | 3 |
| 18 | Functional roles of ornithine decarboxylase and arginine decarboxylase during the peri-implantation period of pregnancy in sheep显示文摘Background: Polyamines stimulate DNA transcription and m RNA translation for protein synthesis in trophectoderm cells, as well as proliferation and migration of cells; therefore, they are essential for development and survival of conceptuses(embryo/fetus and placenta). The ovine conceptus produces polyamines via classical and non-classical pathways. In the classical pathway, arginine(Arg) is transformed into ornithine, which is then decarboxylated by ornithine decarboxylase(ODC1) to produce putrescine which is the substrate for the production of spermidine and spermine. In the non-classical pathway, Arg is converted to agmatine(Agm) by arginine decarboxylase(ADC), and Agm is converted to putrescine by agmatinase(AGMAT).Methods: Morpholino antisense oligonucleotides(MAOs) were designed and synthesized to inhibit translational initiation of the m RNAs for ODC1 and ADC, in ovine conceptuses.Results: The morphologies of MAO control, MAO-ODC1, and MAO-ADC conceptuses were normal. Double knockdown of ODC1 and ADC(MAO-ODC1:ADC) resulted in two phenotypes of conceptuses; 33% of conceptuses appeared to be morphological y and functional y normal(phenotype a) and 67% of the conceptuses presented an abnormal morphology and functionality(phenotype b). Furthermore, MAO-ODC1:ADC(a) conceptuses had greater tissue concentrations of Agm,putrescine, and spermidine than MAO control conceptuses, while MAO-ODC1:ADC(b) conceptuses only had greater tissue concentrations of Agm. Uterine flushes from ewes with MAO-ODC1:ADC(a) had greater amounts of arginine, aspartate, tyrosine, citrulline, lysine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, and glutamine, while uterine flushes of ewes with MAO-ODC1:ADC(b) conceptuses had lower amount of putrescine, spermidine, spermine, alanine, aspartate,glutamine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, and lysine.Conclusions: The double-knockdown of translation of ODC1 and ADC m RNAs was most detrimental to conceptus development and their production of interferon tau(IFNT). Agm, polyamines, amino acids, and adequate secretion of IFNT are critical for establishment and maintenance of pregnancy during the peri-implantation period of gestation in sheep. | Yasser Y.Lenis Gregory A.Johnson Xiaoqiu Wang Wendy W.Tang Kathrin A.Dunlap M.Carey Satterfield Guoyao Wu Thomas R.Hansen Fuller W.Bazer | 2018 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2018,9,2: | 3 |
| 19 | Origin of inhomogeneity in spark plasma sintered bismuth antimony telluride thermoelectric nanocomposites显示文摘Anisotropy and inhomogeneity are ubiquitous in spark plasma sintered thermoelectric devices.However,the origin of inhomogeneity in thermoelectric nanocomposites has rarely been investigated so far.Herein,we systematically study the impact of inhomogeneity in spark plasma sintered bismuth antimony telluride(BiSbTe)thermoelectric nanocomposites fabricated from solution-synthesized nanoplates.The figure of merit can reach 1.18,which,however,can be overestimated to 1.88 without considering the inhomogeneity.Our study reveals that the inhomogeneity in thermoelectric properties is attributed to the non-uniformity of porosity,textures and elemental distribution from electron backscatter diffraction and energy-dispersive spectroscopy characterizations.This finding suggests that the optimization of bulk material homogeneity should also be actively pursued in any future thermoelectric material research. | Enzheng Shi Shuang Cui Nicholas Kempf Qingfeng Xing Thomas Chasapis Huazhang Zhu Zhe Li Je-Hyeong Bahk G.Jeffrey Snyder Yanliang Zhang Renkun Chen Yue Wu | 2020 | Nano Research2020,13,5: | 2 |
