| 1 | Active tectonic blocks and strong earthquakes in the continent of China显示文摘The primary pattern of the late Cenozoic to the present tectonic deformation of China is characterized by relative movements and interactions of tectonic blocks. Active tectonic blocks are geological units that have been separated from each other by active tectonic zones. Boundaries between blocks are the highest gradient of differential movement. Most of tectonic activity occurs on boundaries of the blocks. Earthquakes are results of abrupt releases of accumulated strain energy that reaches the threshold of strength of the earth's crust. Boundaries of tectonic blocks are the locations of most discontinuous deformation and highest gradient of stress accumulation, thus are the most likely places for strain energy accumulation and releases, and in turn, devastating earthquakes. Almost all earthquakes of magnitude greater than 8 and 80%-90% of earthquakes of magnitude over 7 occur along boundaries of active tectonic blocks. This fact indicates that differential movements and interactions of active tectonic blocks are the primary mechanism for the occurrences of devastating earthquakes. | ZHANG Peizhen (张培震) DENG Qidong (邓起东) ZHANG Guomin (张国民) MA Jin (马 瑾) GAN Weijun (甘卫军) MIN Wei (闵 伟) MAO Fengying (毛凤英) WANG Qi (王 琪) | 2003 | Science China Earth Sciences2003,46,z2: | 239 |
| 2 | Th e role of ferroptosis in ionizing radiation-induced cell death and tumor suppression显示文摘Ferroptosis,a form of regulated cell death caused by lipid peroxidation,was recently identified as a natural tumor suppression mechanism.Here,we show that ionizing radiation(IR)induces ferroptosis in cancer cells.Mechanistically,IR induces not only reactive oxygen species(ROS)but also the expression of ACSL4,a lipid metabolism enzyme required for ferroptosis,resulting in elevated lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.ACSL4 ablation largely abolishes IR-induced ferroptosis and promotes radioresistance.IR also induces the expression of ferroptosis inhibitors,including SLC7A11 and GPX4;as an adaptive response.IR-or KEAP1 deficiencyinduced SLC7A11 expression promotes radioresistance through inhibiting ferroptosis.Inactivating SLC7A11 or GPX4 with ferroptosis inducers(FINs)sensitizes radioresistant cancer cells and xenograft tumors to IR.Furthermore,radiotherapy induces ferroptosis in cancer patients,and increased ferroptosis correlates with better response and longer survival to radiotherapy in cancer patients.Our study reveals a previously unrecognized link between IR and ferroptosis and indicates that further exploration of the combination of radiotherapy and FINs in cancer treatment is warranted. | Guang Lei Yilei Zhang Pranavi Koppula Xiaoguang Liu Jie Zhang Steven HLin Jaffer AAjani Qin Xiao Zhongxing Liao Hui Wang Boyi Gan | 2020 | Cell Research2020,30,2: | 88 |
| 3 | A complete sequence and comparative analysis of a SARS-associated virus(Isolate BJ01)显示文摘The genome sequence of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-associated virus provides essential information for the identification of pathogen(s), exploration of etiology and evolution, interpretation of transmission and pathogenesis, development of diagnostics, prevention by future vaccination, and treatment by developing new drugs. We report the complete genome sequence and comparative analysis of an isolate (BJ01) of the coronavirus that has been recognized as a pathogen for SARS. The genome is 29725 nt in size and has 11 ORFs (Open Reading Frames). It is composed of a stable region encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (composed of 2 ORFs) and a variable region representing 4 CDSs (coding sequences) for viral structural genes (the S, E, M, N proteins) and 5 PUPs (putative uncharacterized proteins). Its gene order is identical to that of other known coronaviruses. The sequence alignment with all known RNA viruses places this virus as a member in the family of Coronaviridae. Thirty putative substitutions have been identified by comparative analysis of the 5 SARS- associated virus genome sequences in GenBank. Fifteen of them lead to possible amino acid changes (non-synonymous mutations) in the proteins. Three amino acid changes, with predicted alteration of physical and chemical features, have been detected in the S protein that is postulated to beinvolved in the immunoreactions between the virus and its host. Two amino acid changes have been detected in the Mprotein, which could be related to viral envelope formation. Phylogenetic analysis suggests the possibility of non-human origin of the SARS-associated viruses but provides noevidence that they are man-made. Further efforts should focus on identifying the etiology of the SARS-associated virus and ruling out conclusively the existence of otherpossible SARS-related pathogen(s). | QIN E'de ZHU Qingyu YU Man FAN Baochang CHANG Guohui SI Bingyin YANG Bao PENG Wenming JIANG Tao LIU Bohua DENG Yongqiang LIU Hong ZHANG Yu WANG Cui LI Yuquan GAN Yonghua LI Xiaoyu L Fushuang TAN Gang CAO Wuchun, YANG Ruifu Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Beijing 100071, China WANG Jian, LI Wei, XU Zuyuan, LI Yan, WU Qingfa, LIN Wei, CHEN Weijun, TANG Lin, DENG Yajun, HAN Yujun, LI Changfeng, LEI Meng, LI Guoqing, LI Wenjie, L Hong, SHI Jianping, TONG Zongzhong, ZHANG Feng, LI Songgang, LIU Bin, LIU Siqi, DONG Wei, WANG Jun, Gane K-S Wong, YU Jun & YANG Huanming* Beijing Genomics Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 101300 National Center for Genome Information, Beijing 101300, China | 2003 | Chinese Science Bulletin2003,48,10: | 121 |
| 4 | GPS-constrained inversion of present-day slip rates along major faults of the Sichuan-Yunnan region, China显示文摘A linked-fault-element model is employed to invert for contemporary slip rates along major active faults in the Sichuan-Yunnan region (96°-108°E, 21°-35°N) using the least squares method. The model is based on known fault geometry, and constrained by a GPS-derived horizontal velocity field. Our results support a model attributing the eastward extrusion of the Tibetan Plateau driven mainly by the north-northeastward indentation of the Indian plate into Tibet and the gravitational collapse of the plateau. Resisted by a relatively stable south China block, materials of the Sichuan-Yunnan region rotate clockwise around the eastern Himalayan tectonic syntaxis. During the process the Garzê-Yushu, Xianshuihe, Anninghe, Zemuhe, Daliangshan, and Xiaojiang faults, the southwest extension of the Xiaojiang fault, and the Daluo-Jinghong and Mae Chan faults constitute the northeast and east boundaries of the eastward extrusion, with their left slip rates being 0.3-14.7, 8.9-17.1, 5.1 ± 2.5, 2.8 ± 2.3, 7.1 ± 2.1, 9.4 ± 1.2, 10.1 ± 2.0, 7.3 ± 2.6, and 4.9 ± 3.0 mm/a respectively. The southwestern boundary consists of a widely distributed dextral transpressional zone other than a single fault. Right slip rates of 4.2 ± 1.3, 4.3 ± 1.1, and 8.5 ± 1.7 mm/a are detected across the Nanhua-Chuxiong-Jianshui, Wuliangshan, and Longling-Lancang faults. Crustal deformation across the Longmenshan fault is weak, with short-ening rates of 1.4 ± 1.0 and 1.6 ± 1.3 mm/a across the Baoxing-Beichuan and Beichuan-Qingchuan segments. Northwest of the Longmenshan fault lies an active deformation zone (the Longriba fault) with 5.1±1.2 mm/a right slip across. Relatively large slip rates are detected across a few faults within the Sichuan-Yunnan block: 4.4±1.3 mm/a left slip and 2.7±1.1 mm/a shortening across the Litang fault, and 2.7±2.3 mm/a right-lateral shearing and 6.7±2.3 mm/a shortening across the Yunongxi fault and its surrounding regions. In conclusion, we find that the Sichuan-Yunnan region is divided into more than a dozen active micro-blocks by a large number of faults with relatively slow slip rates. The eastward extrusion of the Tibetan Plateau is absorbed and adjusted in the region mainly by these faults, other than a small number of large strike-slip faults with fast slip rates. | WANG YanZhao WANG EnNing SHEN ZhengKang WANG Min GAN WeiJun QIAO XueJun MENG GuoJie LI TieMing TAO Wei YANG YongLin CHENG Jia LI Peng | 2008 | Science China Earth Sciences2008,51,9: | 65 |
| 5 | Comparing the Diagnostic Criteria for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus of World Health Organization 2013 with 1999 in Chinese Population显示文摘INTRODUCTION Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was earlier defined as 'hyperglycemia first recognized during pregnancy' and has more recently been described by American Diabetes Association (ADA) (2012) as diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy that is not clearly overt diabetes.[1] The hyperglycemia and adverse pregnancy outcomes study (HAPO) demonstrated that the risk of adverse maternal,fetal,and neonatal outcomes continuously increase as a function of maternal glycemia at 24-28 weeks,even within ranges previously considered normal for pregnancy.[2] After reviewing the results of the HAPO study,many international diabetes study groups,including the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups and ADA have adopted the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 weeks as a screening and diagnostic test and defined new cut-off values for GDM diagnosis.The Ministry of Health of China published the criteria for GDM,that is the same as the ADA criteria on July 1,2011.World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended the 75 g OGTT with different cut-offvalues as a diagnostic test since 1999,changed its recommendation on 2013.In Hongkong and Yunnan province in China,most hospital adopted the WHO 1999 criteria,nevertheless,there is no evidence of multicenter and large sample to show that the GDM population within the same ethnic group diagnosed by the new WHO criteria matches those diagnosed by the old one and consistency between the two criteria has not been reported.Thus,we conducted this study to analyze the two criteria in Chinese pregnant women. | Weiwei Zhu Huixia Yang Yumei Wei Zilian Wang Xuelan Li Hairong Wu Nan Li Meihua Zhang Xinghui Liu Hua Zhang Yunhui Wang Jianmin Niu Yujie Gan Liruo Zhong Yunfeng Wang Anil Kapur | 2015 | Chinese Medical Journal2015,,1: | 42 |
| 6 | Plasma exchange-centered artificial liver support system in hepatitis B virus-related acute-onchronic liver failure:a nationwide prospective multicenter study in China显示文摘BACKGROUND:Plasma exchange(PE)-centered artificial liver support system reduced the high mortality rate of hepatitis B virus(HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF).But the data were diverse in different medical centers.The present prospective nationwide study was to evaluate the effects of PE on patients with HBV-ACLF at different stages.METHODS:From December 2009 to December 2011,we evaluated 250 patients at different stages of HBV-ACLF from 10 major medical centers in China.All the laboratory parameters were collected at admission,before and after PE.RESULTS:Among the 250 patients who underwent 661 rounds of PE,one-month survival rate was 61.6%; 141(56.4%) showed improvement after PE.Variables such as age(P=0.000),levels of total bilirubin(TB,P=0.000),direct bilirubin(P=0.000),total triglycerides(P=0.000),low-density lipoprotein(P=0.022),Na+(P=0.014),Cl–(P=0.038),creatinine(Cr,P=0.007),fibrinogen(P=0.000),prothrombin time(PT,P=0.000),white blood cell(P=0.000),platelet(P=0.003) and MELD(P=0.000) were significantly related to prognosis.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,disease stage,TB,Cr and PT levels were independent risk factors of mortality among HBV-ACLF patients.CONCLUSIONS:PE can improve the clinical outcome of patients with HBV-ACLF.Levels of TB,Cr and PT,age and disease stage help to predict prognosis. | Jia-Jia Chen Jian-Rong Huang Qian Yang Xiao-Wei Xu Xiao-Li Liu Shao-Rui Hao Hui-Fen Wang Tao Han Jing Zhang Jian-He Gan Zhi-Liang Gao Yu-Ming Wang Shu-Mei Lin Qing Xie Chen Pan Lan-Juan Li | 2016 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2016,15,3: | 48 |
| 7 | Effects of thymol and carvacrol supplementation on intestinal integrity and immune responses of broiler chickens challenged with Clostridium perfringens显示文摘Background: Necrotic enteritis caused by Clostridium perfringens infection leads to serious economic losses in the global poultry production. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects of essential oils(EO, which contained 25 % thymol and 25 % carvacrol as active components) supplementation on growth performance, gut lesions, intestinal morphology, and immune responses of the broiler chickens infected with C. perfringens. A total of448 1-day-old male broiler chicks were allocated into eight treatment groups following a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement with four dietary EO dosages(0, 60, 120, or 240 mg/kg) and two infection status(with or without C. perfringens challenge from d 14 to 20).Results: The challenge did not impair the growth performance of birds, but induced gut lesions and increased crypt depth in the ileum(P ≤ 0.05). It also down-regulated the claudin-1 and occludin m RNA expression(P ≤ 0.05),up-regulated the m RNA expression of interleukin-1β(P ≤ 0.05), tended to increase the toll-like receptor(TLR)2 m RNA expression(P < 0.10) in the ileum, and enhanced the mucosal secretory Ig A production(P ≤ 0.05). In the challenged birds, dietary EO supplementation linearly alleviated the gut lesions and improved the ratio of vil us height to crypt depth(P ≤ 0.05), and the supplementation of 120 and 240 mg/kg EO increased the serum antibody titers against Newcastle disease virus(P ≤ 0.05). Regardless of challenge, the EO supplementation showed a tendency to linearly elevate the feed conversion efficiency between 14 and 28 d of age as well as the occludin m RNA expression(P < 0.10), and linearly inhibited the m RNA expression of TLR2 and tumor necrotic factor-α in the ileum(P ≤ 0.05).Conclusions: The dietary supplementation of EO could alleviate the intestinal injury by improving intestinal integrity and modulating immune responses in the C. perfringens-challenged broiler chickens. | Encun Du Weiwei Wang Liping Gan Zhui Li Shuangshuang Guo Yuming Guo | 2016 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2016,7,4: | 43 |
| 8 | Colorectal cancer in Guangdong Province of China:A demographic and anatomic survey显示文摘AIM:To determine the basic demographic features of colorectal cancer (CRC) in five hospitals located in four different areas of Guangdong Province,China.METHODS:A review of patient records from 1986 to 2006 from five hospitals was conducted. Patient data was obtained,including age,gender,location of le-sions,staging and histological type of CRC. The Chi-square test was used to assess differences in rates and a significance level of 0.05 was used. Univariate com-parisons were made via Fisher's exact tests.RESULTS:Analysis was carried out on 8172 CRC patents,6.1% (499/8172) of the patients were aged ≤ 30 years. The peak incidence was between the ages 61-70 years (27.8%). The mean age at CRC diagnosis increased from 52 years (1986-1988) to 60 years(2004-2006) and the proportion of young CRC patients decreased from 8.0% to 5.9% over the same period. Of 8172 lesions,4434 (54.3%) were located in rectum and 3738 (45.7%) in colon. The incidence of rectal cancer decreased significantly from 59.4% (1989-1991) to 51.8% (2004-2006) and right sided colon cancer increased from 40.6% to 48.2%. The mean age,ana-tomic distribution,histological type and differentiation degree were significantly different among the four geographical areas (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:The hospitalization rate for CRC has increased in Guangdong in recent years. The characteristics of CRC from the five hospitals located in the four different areas of Guangdong Province are also different. Further studies are needed to assess more recent trend in the incidence and prevalence of CRC as well as the respective roles of genetic and environ-mental factors in CRC. | Xu, An-Gao Yu, Zhi-Jin Jiang, Bo Wang, Xin-Ying Zhong, Xu-Hui Liu, Ji-Hong Lou, Qiu-Yun Gan, Ai-Hua | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,8: | 40 |
| 9 | Effects of mixture ratio on anaerobic co-digestion with fruit and vegetable waste and food waste of China显示文摘The biochemical methane potentials for typical fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) and food waste (FW) from a northern China city were investigated,which were 0.30,0.56 m 3 CH 4/kgVS (volatile solids) with biodegradabilities of 59.3% and 83.6%,respectively.Individual anaerobic digestion testes of FVW and FW were conducted at the organic loading rate (OLR) of 3 kg VS/(m 3 ·day) using a lab-scale continuous stirred-tank reactor at 35℃.FVW could be digested stably with the biogas production rate of 2.17 m 3/(m 3 ·day) and methane production yield of 0.42 m 3 CH 4/kg VS.However,anaerobic digestion process for FW was failed due to acids accumulation.The effects of FVW:FW ratio on co-digestion stability and performance were further investigated at the same OLR.At FVW and FW mixing ratios of 2:1 and 1:1,the performance and operation of the digester were maintained stable,with no accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and ammonia.Changing the feed to a higher FW content in a ratio of FVW to FW 1:2,resulted in an increase in VFAs concentration to 1100-1200mg/L,and the methanogenesis was slightly inhibited.At the optimum mixture ratio 1:1 for co-digestion of FVW with FW,the methane production yield was 0.49 m 3 CH 4/kg VS,and the volatile solids and soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) removal efficiencies were 74.9% and 96.1%,respectively. | Jia Lin Jiane Zuo Lili Gan Peng Li Fenglin Liu Kaijun Wang Lei Chen Hainan Gan | 2011 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2011,23,8: | 36 |
| 10 | Contemporary crustal deformation of the Chinese continent and tectonic block model显示文摘We obtain the preliminary result of crustal deformation velocity field for the Chinese con-tinent by analyzing GPS data from the Crustal Motion Observation Network of China (CMONOC), particularly the data from the regional networks of CMONOC observed in 1999 and 2001. We de-lineate 9 tectonically active blocks and 2 broadly distributed deformation zones out of a denseGPS velocity field, and derive block motion Euler poles for the blocks and their relative motionrates. Our result reveals that there are 3 categories of deformation patterns in the Chinese conti-nent. The first category, associated with the interior of the Tibetan Plateau and the Tianshan oro-genic belt, shows broadly distributed deformation within the regions. The third category, associatedwith the Tarim Basin and the region east of the north-south seismic belt of China, shows block-likemotion, with deformation accommodated along the block boundaries only. The second category, mainly associated with the borderland of the Tibetan Plateau, such as the Qaidam, Qilian, Xining(in eastern Qinghai), and the Diamond-shaped (in western Sichuan and Yunnan) blocks, has thedeformation pattern between the first and the third, i.e. these regions appear to deform block-like,but with smaller sizes and less strength for the blocks. Based on the analysis of the lithosphericstructures and the deformation patterns of the regions above, we come to the inference that thedeformation modes of the Chinese continental crust are mainly controlled by the crustal structure.The crust of the eastern China and the Tarim Basin is mechanically strong, and its deformationtakes the form of relative motion between rigid blocks. On the other hand, the northward indentation of the Indian plate into the Asia continent has created the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the Tianshan Mountains, thickened their crust, and raised the temperature in the crust. The lower crust thus has become ductile, evidenced in low seismic velocity and high electric conductivity observed. The brittle part of the crust, driven by the visco-plastic flow of the lower crust, deforms extensively at all scales. The regions of the second category located at the borderland of the Tibetan Plateau are at the transition zone between the regions of the first and the third categories in terms of the crustal structure. Driven by the lateral boundary forces, their deformation style is also between the two, in the form of block motion and deformation with smaller blocks and less internal strength. | WANG Min (王 敏) SHEN Zhengkang (沈正康) NIU Zhijun (牛之俊) ZHANG Zusheng (张祖胜) SUN Hanrong (孙汉荣) GAN Weijun (甘卫军) WANG Qi (王 琪) REN Qun (任 群) | 2003 | Science China Earth Sciences2003,46,z2: | 33 |
| 11 | Ketogenic diet poses a significant effect on imbalanced gut microbiota in infants with refractory epilepsy显示文摘AIM To investigate whether patients with refractory epilepsy and healthy infants differ in gut microbiota(GM),and how ketogenic diet(KD) alters GM.METHODS A total of 14 epileptic and 30 healthy infants were recruited and seizure frequencies were recorded. Stool samples were collected for 16 S r DNA sequencing using the Illumina Miseq platform. The composition of GM in each sample was analyzed with MOTHUR,and intergroup comparison was conducted by R software.RESULTS After being on KD treatment for a week,64% of epileptic infants showed an obvious improvement,with a 50% decrease in seizure frequency. GM structure in epileptic infants(P1 group) differed dramatically from that in healthy infants(Health group). Proteobacteria,which had accumulated significantly in the P1 group,decreased dramatically after KD treatment(P2 group). Cronobacter predominated in the P1 group and remained at a low level both in the Health and P2 groups. Bacteroides increased significantly in the P2 group,in which Prevotella and Bifidobacterium also grew in numbers and kept increasing.CONCLUSION GM pattern in healthy infants differed dramatically from that of the epileptic group. KD could significantly modify symptoms of epilepsy and reshape the GM of epileptic infants. | Gan Xie Qian Zhou Chuang-Zhao Qiu Wen-Kui Dai He-Ping Wang Yin-Hu Li Jian-Xiang Liao Xin-Guo Lu Su-Fang Lin Jing-Hua Ye Zhuo-Ya Ma Wen-Jian Wang | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,33: | 25 |
| 12 | Chronic blocking of β_3-adrenoceptor ameliorates cardiac function in rat model of heart failure显示文摘Background Stimulation of the heart β_3-adrenoceptor(AR)may result in a negative inotropic effect.Being up-regulated,β_3-AR plays a more important role in the regulation of cardiac function during heart failure.However,the effect of chronicblocking of β_3-AR on heart failure has not been fully elucidated.In this study,we used a selective β_3-AR antagonistSR59230A to treat a well defined heart failure rat model chronically,then evaluated its effect on cardiac function andinvestigated the mechanism.Methods Male Wistar rats were chosen randomly as controls(n=8).Isoproterenol induced heart failure rats wererandomly divided into ISO group(n=10)and SR group(n=10).The ISO group received intraperitoneal injection of 1 mlsaline twice a day;the SR group received intraperitoneal injection of SR59230A 85 nmol in 1 ml saline twice a day;and the control group received no treatment.The treatment was started 24 hours after the last isoproterenol injectionand continued for 7 weeks.Then we measured the following indexes:the ratio of heart weight to body weight(HW/BW)and the ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight(LVW/BW),collagen volume fraction(CVF),left ventricular enddiastolic dimension(LVEDd),left ventricular end systolic dimension(LVESd),ejection fraction(EF),fractionalshortening(FS)and the ratio of E wave to A wave(E/A),the mRNA and protein expression of β_3-AR and eNOS,andcGMP level in the heart.Results The ratios HW/BW and LVW/BW were significantly increased in the ISO group compared with the controlgroup(P<0.01),but they were limited in the SR group(P<0.05 compared with the ISO group).CVF increased in the ISOgroup and the SR group(P<0.01),but it was significantly attenuated in the SR group(P<0.01).LVEDd,LVESd and E/Aratio were significantly increased in the ISO group compared with the control group(P<0.01),while EF and FS weresignificantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with the ISO group,the SR group showed that LVEDd,LVESd and E/A ratiowere significantly decreased(P<0.01),whereas EF and FS were significantly increased(P<0.01).β_3-AR and eNOSmRNA and protein in the ISO group were significantly increased when compared with the control group(P<0.01).Theseincreases were all attenuated in the SR group compared with the ISO group(P<0.01).The level of cGMP in myocardialtissue was significantly increased in the ISO group compared with the control group(P<0.01),whereas SR59230Atreatment normalized this increment(P<0.01).Conclusions Chronic blocking of β_3-AR could ameliorate cardiac function in heart failure rats and its mechanisminvolves inhibition of the negative inotropic effect and attenuation of cardiac remodeling. | GAN Run-tao LI Wei-min XIU Chun-hong SHEN Jing-xia WANG Xu WU Shuang KONG Yi-hui | 2007 | Chinese Medical Journal2007,,24: | 22 |
| 13 | Genome analysis of Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin provides new insights into rubber biosynthesis显示文摘The Russian dandelion Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin(TKS), a member of the Composite family and a potential alternative source of natural rubber(NR) and inulin, is an ideal model system for studying rubber biosynthesis. Here we present the draft genome of TKS, the first assembled NR-producing weed plant. The draft TKS genome assembly has a length of 1.29 Gb, containing 46 731 predicted protein-coding genes and68.56% repeats, in which the LTR-RT elements predominantly contribute to the genome enlargement. We analyzed the heterozygous regions/genes, suggesting its possible involvement in inbreeding depression.Through comparative studies between rubber-producing and non-rubber-producing plants, we found that enzymes of the mevalonate(MVA) pathway and rubber elongation might be critical for rubber biosynthesis, and several key isoforms have been isolated and shown to be predominantly expressed in the latex, indicating their crucial functions in rubber biosynthesis. Moreover, for two important families in rubber elongation, the CPT/CPTL and REF/SRPP families, diverse evolutionary tracks have been revealed. These results provide valuable resources and new insights into the mechanism of NR biosynthesis,and facilitate the development of alternative NR-producing crops. | Tao Lin Xia Xu Jue Ruan Shizhong Liu Shigang Wu Xiujuan Shao Xiaobo Wang Lin Gan Bi Qin Yushuang Yang Zhukuan Cheng Suhua Yang Zhonghua Zhang Guosheng Xiong Sanwen Huang Hong Yu Jiayang Li | 2018 | National Science Review2018,5,1: | 22 |
| 14 | Natural history of covert hepatic encephalopathy: An observational study of 366 cirrhotic patients显示文摘AIM To explore the natural history of covert hepatic encephalopathy(CHE) in absence of medication intervention.METHODS Consecutive outpatient cirrhotic patients in a Chinese tertiary care hospital were enrolled and evaluated for CHE diagnosis. They were followed up for a mean of 11.2 ± 1.3 mo. Time to the first cirrhosis-related complications requiring hospitalization, including overt HE(OHE), resolution of CHE and death/transplantation, were compared between CHE and no-CHE patients. Predictors for complication(s) and death/transplantation were also analyzed.RESULTS A total of 366 patients(age: 47.2 ± 8.6 years, male: 73.0%) were enrolled. CHE was identified in 131 patients(35.8%). CHE patients had higher rates of death and incidence of complications requiring hospitalization, including OHE, compared to unimpaired patients. Moreover, 17.6% of CHE patients developed OHE, 42.0% suffered persistent CHE, and 19.8% of CHE spontaneously resolved. In CHE patients, serum albumin < 30 g/L(HR = 5.22, P = 0.03) was the sole predictor for developing OHE, and blood creatinine > 133 μmol/L(HR = 4.75, P = 0.036) predicted mortality. Child-Pugh B/C(HR = 0.084, P < 0.001) and OHE history(HR = 0.15, P = 0.014) were predictors of spontaneous resolution of CHE.CONCLUSION CHE exacerbates, persists or resolves without medication intervention in clinically stable cirrhosis.

| 15 | Lp-PLA2 inhibition prevents Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiac inflammation and fibrosis by blocking macrophage NLRP3 inflammasome activation显示文摘Macrophage-mediated inflammation plays an important role in hypertensive cardiac remodeling,whereas effective pharmacological treatments targeting cardiac inflammation remain unclear.Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2)contributes to vascular inflammation-related diseases by mediating macrophage migration and activation.Darapladib,the most advanced Lp-PLA2 inhibitor,has been evaluated in phase Ⅲ trials in atherosclerosis patients.However,the role of darapladib in inhibiting hypertensive cardiac fibrosis remains unknown.Using a murine angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)infusion-induced hypertension model,we found that Pla2g7(the gene of Lp-PLA2)was the only upregulated PLA2 gene detected in hypertensive cardiac tissue,and it was primarily localized in heart-infiltrating macrophages.As expected,darapladib significantly prevented Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiac fibrosis,ventricular hypertrophy,and cardiac dysfunction,with potent abatement of macrophage infiltration and inflammatory response.RNA sequencing revealed that darapladib strongly downregulated the expression of genes and signaling pathways related to inflammation,extracellular matrix,and proliferation.Moreover,darapladib substantially reduced the Ang Ⅱ infusion-induced expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor with pyrin domain 3(NLRP3)and interleukin(IL)-1β and markedly attenuated caspase-1 activation in cardiac tissues.Furthermore,darapladib ameliorated Ang Ⅱ-stimulated macrophage migration and IL-1β secretion in macrophages by blocking NLRP3 inflammasome activation.Darapladib also effectively blocked macrophage-mediated transformation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts by inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages.Overall,our study identifies a novel anti-inflammatory and anti-cardiac fibrosis role of darapladib in Lp-PLA2 inhibition,elucidating the protective effects of suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation.Lp-PLA2 inhibition by darapladib represents a novel therapeutic strategy for hypertensive cardiac damage treatment. | Si-lin Lv Zi-fan Zeng Wen-qiang Gan Wei-qi Wang Tie-gang Li Yu-fang Hou Zheng Yan Ri-xin Zhang Min Yang | 2021 | Acta Pharmacologica Sinica2021,42,12: | 21 |

| 17 | Rapid rehabilitation technique with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine promotes postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery显示文摘BACKGROUND During the perioperative period, the characteristic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine is effective in improving postoperative rehabilitation. In large-scale hospitals practicing traditional Chinese medicine, there is accumulating experience related to the promotion of fast recovery in the perioperative period.AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yikou-Sizi powder hot compress on Shenque acupuncture point combined with rapid rehabilitation technique.METHODS This prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled study included two groups: Treatment group and control group. The patients in the treatment group and control group received Yikou-Sizi powder hot compress on Shenque acupuncture point combined with rapid rehabilitation technique and routine treatment, respectively. Clinical observation regarding postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function was performed, including the times to first passage of flatus, first defecation, and first normal bowel sounds. The comparison between groups was conducted through descriptive analysis, χ~2, t, F, and rank-sum tests.RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference in the time to postoperative first defecation between the treatment and control group(87.16 ± 32.09 vs 109.79 ±40.25 h, respectively;P < 0.05). Similarly, the time to initial recovery of bowel sounds in the treatment group was significantly shorter than that in the control group(61.17 ± 26.75 vs 79.19 ± 33.35 h, respectively;P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the time to initial exhaust between the treatment and control groups(51.54 ± 23.66 vs 62.24 ± 25.95 h, respectively;P >0.05). The hospitalization expenses for the two groups of patients were 62283.45 ±12413.90 and 62059.42 ± 11350.51 yuan, respectively. Although the cost of hospitalization was decreased in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). This clinical trial was safe without reports of any adverse reaction or event.CONCLUSION The rapid rehabilitation technique with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine promotes the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function and is significantly better than standard approach for patients after colorectal surgery. | Li-Xing Cao Zhi-Qiang Chen Zhi Jiang Qi-Cheng Chen Xiao-Hua Fan Shi-Jun Xia Jin-Xuan Lin Hua-Chan Gan Tao Wang Yang-Xue Huang | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,23: | 21 |
| 18 | The influence of DC stray current on pipeline corrosion显示文摘DC stray current can cause severe corrosion on buried pipelines.In this study,firstly,we deduced the equation of DC stray current interference on pipelines.Next,the cathode boundary condition was discretized with pipe elements,and corresponding experiments were designed to validate the mathematical model.Finally,the numerical simulation program BEASY was used to study the corrosion effect of DC stray current that an auxiliary anode bed generated in an impressed current cathodic protection system.The effects of crossing angle,crossing distance,distance of the two pipelines,anode output current,depth,and soil resistivity were investigated.Our results indicate that pipeline crossing substantially affects the corrosion potential of both protected and unprotected pipelines.Pipeline crossing angles,crossing distances,and anode depths,our results suggest,have no significant influence.Decreasing anode output current or soil resistivity reduces pipeline corrosion gradually.A reduction of corrosion also occurs when the distance between two parallel pipelines increases. | Gan Cui Zi-Li Li Chao Yang Meng Wang | 2016 | Petroleum Science2016,13,1: | 18 |
| 19 | Review on supermolecules as chemical drugs显示文摘Supramolecular medicinal chemistry field has been a quite rapidly developing,increasingly active and newly rising interdiscipline which is the new expansion of supramolecular chemistry in pharmaceu-tical sciences,and is gradually becoming a relatively independent scientific area. Supramolecular drugs could be defined as medicinal supermolecules formed by two or more molecules through non-covalent bonds. So far a lot of supermolecules as chemical drugs have been widely used in clinics. Supermolecules as chemical drugs,i.e. supramolecular chemical drugs or supramolecular drugs,which might have the excellences of lower cost,shorter period,higher potential as clinical drugs for their successful research and development,may possess higher bioavailability,better biocompatibility and drug-targeting,fewer multidrug-resistances,lower toxicity,less adverse effect,and better curative effects as well as safety,and therefore exhibit wide potential application. These overwhelming advan-tages have drawn enormous special attention. This paper gives the definition of supramolecular drugs,proposes the concept of supramolecular chemical drugs,and systematically reviews the recent ad-vances in the research and development of supermolecules,including organic and inorganic complex ones as chemical drugs in the area of antitumor,anti-inflammatory,analgesic,antimalarial,antibacterial,antifungal,antivirus,anti-epileptic,cardiovascular agents and magnetic resonance imaging agents and so on. The perspectives of the foreseeable future and potential application of supramolecules as chemical drugs are also presented. | ZHOU ChengHe GAN LinLing ZHANG YiYi ZHANG FeiFei WANG GuangZhou JIN Lei GENG RongXia | 2009 | Science China Chemistry2009,52,4: | 17 |
