| 1 | The material and biological characteristics of osteoinductive calcium phosphate ceramics显示文摘The discovery of osteoinductivity of calcium phosphate(Ca-P)ceramics has set an enduring paradigm of conferring biological regenerative activity to materials with carefully designed structural characteristics.The unique phase composition and porous structural features of osteoinductive Ca-P ceramics allow it to interact with signaling molecules and extracellular matrices in the host system,creating a local environment conducive to new bone formation.Mounting evidence now indicate that the osteoinductive activity of Ca-P ceramics is linked to their physicochemical and three-dimensional structural properties.Inspired by this conceptual breakthrough,many laboratories have shown that other materials can be also enticed to join the rank of tissue-inducing biomaterials,and besides the bones,other tissues such as cartilage,nerves and blood vessels were also regenerated with the assistance of biomaterials.Here,we give a brief historical recount about the discovery of the osteoinductivity of Ca-P ceramics,summarize the underlying material factors and biological characteristics,and discuss the mechanism of osteoinduction concerning protein adsorption,and the interaction with different types of cells,and the involvement of the vascular and immune systems. | Zhurong Tang Xiangfeng Li Yanfei Tan Hongsong Fan Xingdong Zhang | 2018 | Regenerative Biomaterials2018,5,1: | 20 |

| 3 | The directional migration and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells toward vascular endothelial cells stimulated by biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic显示文摘Osteoinductivity of porous calcium phosphate(CaP)ceramics has been widely investigated and confirmed,and it might be attributed to the rapid formation of the vascular networks after in vivo implantation of the ceramics.In this study,to explore the vascularization mechanism within the CaP ceramics,the migration and differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)under the stimulation of porous biphasic calcium phosphate(BCP)ceramic with excellent osteoinductivity were systematically investigated.The results indicated that the directional migration of BMSCs toward BCP ceramic occurred when evaluated by using a transwell model,and the BMSCs migration was enhanced by the seeded macrophages on the ceramic in advance.Besides,by directly culturing BMSCs on BCP ceramic discs under both in vitro and in vivo physiological environment,it was found that the differentiation of BMSCs toward vascular endothelial cells(VECs)happened under the stimulation of BCP ceramic,as was confirmed by the up-regulated gene expressions and protein secretions of VECs-related characteristic factors,including kinase insert domain receptor,von willebrand factor,vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and cadherin 5 in the BMSCs.This study offered a possibility for explaining the origin of VECs during the rapid vascularization process after in vivo implantation of porous CaP ceramics and could give some useful guidance to reveal the vascularization mechanism of the ceramics. | Ying Chen Jing Wang Xiangdong Zhu Xuening Chen Xiao Yang Kai Zhang Yujiang Fan Xingdong Zhang | 2018 | Regenerative Biomaterials2018,5,3: | 8 |
| 4 | Oral health in China: from vision to action显示文摘Chinese president Xi Jinping made clear at the National Health and Wellness Conference that health is the prerequisite for people's all-around development and a precondition for the sustainable development of China. Oral health is an indispensable component of overall health in humans. However, the long neglect of oral health in overall health agendas has made oral diseases an increasing concern. With this perspective, we described the global challenges of oral diseases, with an emphasis on the challenges faced by China. We also described and analyzed the recently released health policies of the Chinese government, which aim to guide midterm and long-term oral health promotion in China. More importantly, we called for specific actions to fulfill the larger goal of oral health for the nation. The implementation of primordial prevention efforts against oral diseases, the integration of oral health into the promotion of overall health, and the management of oral diseases in conjunction with other chronic non-communicable diseases with shared risk factors were highly recommended. In addition, we suggested the reform of standard clinical residency training, the development of domestic manufacturing of dental equipment and materials, the revitalization traditional Chinese medicine for the prevention and treatment of oral diseases, and integration of oral health promotion into the Belt and Road Initiative. We look forward to seeing a joint effort from all aspects of the society to fulfill the goal of Healthy China 2030 and ensure the oral health of the nation. | Xuedong Zhou Xin Xu Jiyao Li Deyu Hu Tao Hu Wei Yin Yujiang Fan Xingdong Zhang | 2018 | International Journal of Oral Science2018,10,1: | 7 |

| 6 | The biological effect of recombinant humanized collagen on damaged skin induced by UV-photoaging:An in vivo study显示文摘The application of medical devices to repair skin damage is clinically accepted and natural polymer enjoys an important role in this field,such as collagen or hyaluronic acid,etc.However,the biosafety and efficacy of these implants are still challenged.In this study,a skin damage animal model was prepared by UV-photoaging and recombinant humanized type Ⅲ collagen(rhCol Ⅲ)was applied as a bioactive material to implant in vivo to study its biological effect,comparing with saline and uncrosslinked hyaluronic acid(HA).Animal skin conditions were non-invasively and dynamically monitored during the 8 weeks experiment.Histological observation,specific gene expression and other molecular biological methods were applied by the end of the animal experiment.The results indicated that rhCol Ⅲ could alleviate the skin photoaging caused by UV radiation,including reduce the thickening of epidermis and dermis,increase the secretion of Collagen Ⅰ(Col Ⅰ)and Collagen Ⅲ(Col Ⅲ)and remodel of extracellular matrix(ECM).Although the cell-material interaction and mechanism need more investigation,the effect of rhCol Ⅲ on damaged skin was discussed from influence on cells,reconstruction of ECM,and stimulus of small biological molecules based on current results.In conclusion,our findings provided rigorous biosafety information of rhCol Ⅲ and approved its potential in skin repair and regeneration.Although enormous efforts still need to be made to achieve successful translation from bench to clinic,the recombinant humanized collagen showed superiorities from both safety and efficacy aspects. | Jing Wang He Qiu Yang Xu Yongli Gao Peijie Tan Rui Zhao Zhanhong Liu Yajun Tang Xiangdong Zhu Chongyun Bao Hang Wang Hai Lin Xingdong Zhang | 2022 | Bioactive Materials2022,7,5: | 7 |
| 7 | Estimation of the three-dimensional in situ stress field around a large deep underground cavern group near a valley显示文摘Understanding three-dimensional(3D)in situ stress field is of key importance for estimating the stability of large deep underground cavern groups near valleys.However,the complete 3D in situ stress fields around large deep underground cavern groups are difficult to determine based on in situ stress data from a limited number of measuring points due to the insufficient representativeness and unreliability of such measurements.In this study,an integrated approach for estimating the 3D in situ stress field around a large deep underground cavern group near a valley is developed based on incomplete in situ stress measurements and the stress-induced failures of tunnels excavated prior to the step excavation of the cavern group.This integrated approach is implemented via four interrelated and progressive basic steps,i.e.inference of the regional tectonic stress field direction,analyses of in situ stress characteristics and measurement reliability,regression-based in situ stress field analysis and reliability assessment,and modified in situ stress field analysis and reliability verification.The orientations and magnitudes of the 3D in situ stress field can be analyzed and obtained at a strategic level following these four basic steps.First,the tectonic stress field direction around the cavern group is deduced in accordance with the regional tectonic framework and verified using a regional crustal deformation velocity map.Second,the reliability of the in situ stress measurements is verified based on the locations and depths of stressinduced brittle failures in small tunnels(such as exploratory tunnels and pilot tunnels)within the excavation range of the cavern group.Third,considering the influences of the valley topography and major geological structures,the 3D in situ stress field is regressed using numerical simulation and multiple linear regression techniques based on the in situ stress measurements.Finally,the regressed in situ stress field is further modified and reverified based on the stress-induced brittle failures of small tunnels and the initial excavation of the cavern group.A case study of the Shuangjiangkou underground cavern group demonstrates that the proposed approach is reliable for estimating the 3D in situ stress fields of large deep underground cavern groups near valleys,thus contributing to the optimization of practical excavation and design of mitigating the instability of the surrounding rock masses during step excavations. | Dingping Xu Xiang Huang Quan Jiang Shaojun Li Hong Zheng Shili Qiu Huaisheng Xu Yonghong Li Zhiguo Li Xingdong Ma | 2021 | Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering2021,13,3: | 6 |
| 8 | Validation and application of water levels derived from Sentinel-3A for the Brahmaputra River显示文摘For the first time ever, this study aims at applying Sentinel-3 A to the Great Brahmaputra River(GBR) and validating water levels derived from this newly-launched altimetry satellite mission. The GBR is divided into three primary parts:(1) a large section of the Yarlung Zangbo River in China, also termed the Upper Brahmaputra River(UBR) in this study, featured by high elevation,complex terrain, narrow river widths(from less than 100 to 400 m), and limited in situ measurements;(2) the Middle Brahmaputra River(MBR) with widths varying from ~400 m to ~1 km;(3) the Lower Brahmaputra River(LBR), dominated by braided channels with wide river channels(up to several kilometers). For the altimetry data, both waveform retracking and hooking effect correction were applied to mitigate the influence caused by land contamination and to improve the accuracy of water level retrievals. Water levels were derived from 41 virtual stations(VSs) across the GBR and different retracking algorithms were compared with in situ data from two gauging stations in the UBR. Time series of altimetry-based water levels were categorized into three types based on the quality: no data(type 1), degraded(type 2), and good(type 3). Results showed that the VSs(type 1) only existed in the mountainous regions, accounting for ~ a half of the total in the UBR. Validation with the gauged water levels showed that the TIC algorithm performed best among all of the retrackers applied, followed by the Ice-1 algorithm. The standard deviation of the difference between the gauged and TIC-derived water levels ranged from 0.41 to 0.76 m among four different VSs(type 3). In addition, the quality of VSs in the LBR was best, followed by the MBR. Our study has demonstrated the capability of Sentinel-3 A in monitoring water levels in the GBR, thereby paving the way for future applications such as discharge estimation and hydrologic/hydrodynamic applications. | HUANG Qi LI XingDong HAN PengFei LONG Di ZHAO FanYu HOU AiZhong | 2019 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2019,62,10: | 6 |
| 9 | An improved OFDM chirp waveform used for MIMO SAR system显示文摘Special attention has been devoted to multi-input multi-output(MIMO)synthetic aperture radar(SAR)systems in recent years.The applications of MIMO SAR systems which involve 3D imaging,highresolution wide-swath remote sensing,and multi-baseline interferometry are seriously limited to the orthogonal waveforms.Although orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)chirp waveforms can be used for MIMO SAR systems to avoid intra-pulse interferences,there is a small frequency shift between the transmitted OFDM pulses.This vulnerable shift,which can not only affect the waveform orthogonality,but also introduce residual phase error,renders the OFDM waveforms impractical.In this paper,an improved OFDM chirp waveform which works without the mentioned shift is presented,along with the novel modulation and efficient demodulation procedures.Comparison between the improved and the conventional OFDM chirp waveforms is detailed.The influence of random noise,quantization error,and Doppler shift on the orthogonality of OFDM waveform is also investigated in this paper.Theoretical analysis and simulation results illustrate the feasibility of this waveform scheme. | WANG Jie LIANG XingDong DING ChiBiao CHEN LongYong ZHOU LiangJiang DONG YongWei | 2014 | Science China(Information Sciences)2014,57,6: | 6 |
| 10 | The optimized preparation of HA/L-TiO2/D-TiO2 composite coating on porous titanium and its effect on the behavior osteoblasts显示文摘Various surface bioactivation technology has been confirmed to improve the osteogenic ability of porous titanium(pTi)implants effectively.In this study,a three-layered composite coating,i.e.outer layer of hydroxyapatite(HA),middle layer of loose titanium dioxide(L-TiO2)and inner layer of dense TiO2(D-TiO2),was fabricated on pTi by a combined processing procedure of pickling,alkali heat(AH),anodic oxidation(AO),electrochemical deposition(ED)and hydrothermal treatment(HT).After soaking in simulated body fluid for 48 h,the surface of the AHAOEDHT-treated pTi was completely covered by a homogeneous apatite layer.Using MC3T3-E1 pro-osteoblasts as cell model,the cell culture revealed that both the pTi without surface treatment and the AHAOEDHT sample could support the attachment,growth and proliferation of the cells.Compared to the pTi sample,the AHAOEDHT one induced higher expressions of osteogenesis-related genes in the cells,including alkaline phosphatase,Type I collagen,osteopontin,osteoclast inhibitor,osteocalcin and zinc finger structure transcription factor.As thus,besides the good corrosion resistance,the HA/L-TiO2/D-TiO2-coated pTi had good osteogenic activity,showing good potential in practical application for bone defect repair. | Xi Fu Xingyu Zhou Pin Liu Hewei Chen Zhanwen Xiao Bo Yuan Xiao Yang Xiangdong Zhu Kai Zhang Xingdong Zhang | 2020 | Regenerative Biomaterials2020,7,5: | 5 |

| 12 | 3D printing of calcium phosphate bioceramic with tailored biodegradation rate for skull bone tissue reconstruction显示文摘The bone regenerative scaffold with the tailored degradation rate matching with the growth rate of the new bone is essential for adolescent bone repair.To satisfy these requirement,we proposed bone tissue scaffolds with controlled degradation rate using osteoinductive materials(Ca-P bioceramics),which is expected to present a controllable biodegradation rate for patients who need bone regeneration.Physicochemical properties,porosity,compressive strength and degradation properties of the scaffolds were studied.3D printed Ca-P scaffold(3DS),gas foaming Ca-P scaffold(FS)and autogenous bone(AB)were used in vivo for personalized beagle skull defect repair.Histological results indicated that the 3DS was highly vascularized and well combined with surrounding tissues.FS showed obvious newly formed bone tissues.AB showed the best repair effect,but it was found that AB scaffolds were partially absorbed and degraded.This study indicated that the 3D printed Ca-P bioceramics with tailored biodegradation rate is a promising candidate for personalized skull bone tissue reconstruction. | Boqing Zhang Huan Sun Lina Wu Liang Ma Fei Xing Qingquan Kong Yujiang Fan Changchun Zhou Xingdong Zhang | 2019 | Bio-Design and Manufacturing2019,2,3: | 5 |

| 14 | BMSCs-assisted injectable Col I hydrogel-regenerated cartilage defect by reconstructing superficial and calcified cartilage显示文摘The self-healing capacity of cartilage was limited due to absence of vascular,nervous and lymphatic systems.Although many clinical treatments have been used in cartilage defect repair and shown a promising repair result in short term,however,regeneration of complete zonal structure with physiological function,reconstruction cartilage homeostasis and maintaining long-term repair was still an unbridgeable chasm.Cartilage has complex zonal structure and multiple physiological functions,especially,superficial and calcified cartilage played an important role in keeping homeostasis.To address this hurdle of regenerating superficial and calcified cartilage,injectable tissue-induced type I collagen(Col I)hydrogel-encapsulated BMSCs was chosen to repair cartilage damage.After 1 month implantation,the results demonstrated that Col I gel was able to induce BMSCs differentiation into chondrocytes,and formed hyaline-like cartilage and the superficial layer with lubrication function.After 3 months post-surgery,chondrocytes at the bottom of the cartilage layer would undergo hypertrophy and promote the regeneration of calcified cartilage.Six months later,a continuous anatomical tidemark and complete calcified interface were restored.The regeneration of neo-hyaline cartilage was similar with adjacent normal tissue on the thickness of the cartilage,matrix secretion,collagen type and arrangement.Complete multilayer zonal structure with physiological function remodeling indicated that BMSCs-assisted injectable Col I hydrogel could reconstruct cartilage homeostasis and maintain long-term therapeutic effect. | Hanxu Cai PeileiWang Yang Xu Ya Yao Jia Liu Tao Li Yong Sun Jie Liang Yujiang Fan Xingdong Zhang | 2020 | Regenerative Biomaterials2020,7,1: | 4 |
| 15 | Effect of different aged cartilage ECM on chondrogenesis of BMSCs in vitro and in vivo显示文摘Extracellular matrix(ECM)-based biomaterials are promising candidates in cartilage tissue engineering by simulating the native microenvironment to regulate the chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)without exogenous growth factors.The biological properties of ECM scaffolds are primarily depended on the original source,which would directly influence the chondrogenic effects of the ECM materials.Despite the expanding investigations on ECM scaffolds in recent years,the selection of optimized ECM materials in cartilage regeneration was less reported.In this study,we harvested and compared the articular cartilage ECM from newborn,juvenile and adult rabbits.The results demonstrated the significant differences in the mechanical strength,sulphated glycosaminoglycan and collagen contents of the different aged ECM,before and after decellularization.Consequently,different compositional and mechanical properties were shown in the three ECM-based collagen hydrogels,which exerted age-dependent chondrogenic inducibility.In general,both in vitro and in vivo results suggested that the newborn ECM promoted the most chondrogenesis of BMSCs but led to severe matrix calcification.In contrast,BMSCs synthesized the lowest amount of cartilaginous matrix with minimal calcification with adult ECM.The juvenile ECM achieved the best overall results in promoting chondrogenesis of BMSCs and preventing matrix calcification.Together,this study provides important information to our current knowledge in the design of future ECM-based biomaterials towards a successful repair of articular cartilage. | Xiuyu Wang Yan Lu Wan Wang Qiguang Wang Jie Liang Yujiang Fan Xingdong Zhang | 2020 | Regenerative Biomaterials2020,7,6: | 4 |

| 17 | Modeling and Optimal Design of Planar Linkage Mechanism of Coupled Joint Clearances for Manufacturing显示文摘The uncertainty of the mechanism motion error is mostly caused by the manufacturing process,so the motion error cannot be effectively predicted at the design phase.The problems of manufacturing complexity and the relationship between design and manufacturing are analyzed,and the influence of dimensional tolerance and fit tolerance on the motion accuracy of the system is considered in the design process.Then based on the Monte Carlo simulation,an optimal design model of planar linkage mechanism is set up.A typical offset slider-crank mechanism is used as an illustrative example to carry out the optimal design.Compared with the result of typical robustness design,the similar variation characteristics of the mean value and the standard deviation can be found,so the proposed method is effective.The method is furthermore applied in the optimization of the schemes with different fit tolerances and the prediction of motion errors in the design phase is achieved.A set of quantitative evaluation system for mechanism optimal design is provided.Finally,a basic strategy is presented to balance the motion precision and manufacturing cost. | Yang Bo Wang Xingdong Kong Jianyi Zhang Hua | 2018 | Transactions of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics2018,35,4: | 3 |
| 18 | Evaluation on the corrosion resistance, antibacterial property and osteogenic activity of biodegradable Mg-Ca and Mg-Ca-Zn-Ag alloys显示文摘The rapid degradation of magnesium(Mg)-based implants in physiological environment limits its clinical applications, and alloying treatment is an effective way to regulate the degradation rate of Mg-based materials. In the present study, three Mg alloys, including Mg-0.8Ca(denoted as ZQ), Mg-0.8Ca-5Zn-1.5Ag(denoted as ZQ71) and Mg-0.8Ca-5Zn-2.5Ag(denoted as ZQ63), were fabricated by alloying with calcium(Ca), zinc(Zn) and silver(Ag). The results obtained from electrochemical corrosion tests and in vitro degradation evaluation demonstrated that the three Mg alloys exhibited distinct corrosion resistance, and ZQ71 exhibited the lowest degradation rate in vitro among them. After addition of Zn and Ag, the antibacterial potential of Mg alloys was also enhanced. The in vitro cell experiments showed that all the three Mg alloys had good biocompatibility. After implantation in a rat femoral defect, ZQ71 showed significantly higher osteogenic activity and bone substitution rate than ZQ63 and ZQ, due to its higher corrosion resistance as well as the stimulatory effects of the released metallic ions. In addition, the average daily degradation rate of each Mg alloy in vivo was significantly higher than that in vitro, as could be due to the implantation site located in the highly vascularized trabecular region. Importantly, the correlations between the in vitro and in vivo degradation parameters of the Mg alloys were systematically analyzed to find out the potential predictors of the in vivo degradation performance of the materials. The current work not only evaluated the clinical potential of the three biodegradable Mg alloys as bone grafts but also provided a feasible approach for predicting the in vivo degradation behavior of biodegradable materials. | Hewei Chen Bo Yuan Rui Zhao Xiao Yang Zhanwen Xiao Antoniac Aurora Bita Ana Iulia Xiangdong Zhu Antoniac Vasile Iulian Xingdong Zhang | 2022 | Journal of Magnesium and Alloys2022,10,12: | 3 |
| 19 | Dynamic mechanical loading facilitated chondrogenic differentiation of rabbit BMSCs in collagen scaffolds显示文摘Mechanical signals have been played close attention to regulate chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs).In this study,dynamic mechanical loading simulation with natural frequencies and intensities were applied to the 3D cultured BMSCs–collagen scaffold constructs.We investigated the effects of dynamic mechanical loading on cell adhesion,uniform distribution,proliferation,secretion of extracellular matrix(ECM)and chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs–collagen scaffold constructs.The results indicated that dynamic mechanical loading facilitated the BMSCs adhesion,uniform distribution,proliferation and secretion of ECM with a slight contraction,which significantly improved the mechanical strength of the BMSCs–collagen scaffold constructs for better mimicking the structure and function of a native cartilage.Gene expression results indicated that dynamic mechanical loading contributed to the chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs with higher levels of AGG,COL2A1 and SOX9 genes,and prevented of hypertrophic process with lower levels of COL10A1,and reduced the possibility of fibrocartilage formation due to down-regulated COL1A2.In conclusion,this study emphasized the important role of dynamic mechanical loading on promoting BMSCs chondrogenic differentiation and maintaining the cartilage phenotype for in vitro reconstruction of tissue-engineered cartilage,which provided an attractive prospect and a feasibility strategy for cartilage repair. | Wanxu Cao Weimin Lin Hanxu Cai Yafang Chen Yi Man Jie Liang Qiguang Wang Yong Sun Yujiang Fan Xingdong Zhang | 2019 | Regenerative Biomaterials2019,6,2: | 3 |
| 20 | Characteristics of plant calcium fractions for 25 species in Tengger Desert显示文摘Little attention has been paid to plant calcium fractions in the desert.To address the characteristic of the calcium fractions of desert plants,we collected 25 plant species in Tengger Desert,observed the calcium crystals using an optical microscope and determined water soluble calcium,acetic acid soluble calcium,and hydrochloric acid soluble calcium.To do so,we used sequential fractionation procedures to probe the relationships among different functional groups,different growth forms,or different successional stages.The results showed that the psammophyte,the late successional plants,and the drought-resistant shrub and semi-shrub all held considerable calcium oxalate crystal compared to the grassland plants,the early successional plants,and the perennial herb.With the proceeding succession,the acetic acid soluble calcium decreased gradually,and the hydrochloric acid soluble calcium increased gradually.The perennial herb had more water soluble calcium,while shrub held greater hydrochloric acid soluble calcium.The grassland plants held more water soluble calcium,while psammophyte had greater hydrochloric acid soluble calcium.This implies that the plants that are relatively sensitive to drought hold more calcium ion,while the drought-resistance plants hold more calcium oxalate.Thus,the plant calcium components are in close relation to plant drought-resistance,and of important significance in plant physiology of the desert. | HuaCong Ci XingDong lie Rong Li Wei Wu PingPing Xue YuBao Gao HaLin Zhao | 2010 | Research in Cold and Arid Regions2010,2,2: | 3 |
