| 1 | A seven-gene-deleted African swine fever virus is safe and effective as a live attenuated vaccine in pigs显示文摘African swine fever(ASF)is a devastating infectious disease in swine that is severely threatening the global pig industry.An efficacious vaccine is urgently required.Here,we used the Chinese ASFV HLJ/18 as a backbone and generated a series of genedeleted viruses.The virulence,immunogenicity,safety,and protective efficacy evaluation in specific-pathogen-free pigs,commercial pigs,and pregnant sows indicated that one virus,namely HLJ/18-7GD,which has seven genes deleted,is fully attenuated in pigs,cannot convert to the virulent strain,and provides complete protection of pigs against lethal ASFV challenge.Our study shows that HLJ/-18-7GD is a safe and effective vaccine against ASFV,and as such is expected to play an important role in controlling the spread of ASFV. | Weiye Chen Dongming Zhao Xijun He Renqiang Liu Zilong Wang Xianfeng Zhang Fang Li Dan Shan Hefeng Chen Jiwen Zhang Lulu Wang Zhiyuan Wen Xijun Wang Yuntao Guan Jinxiong Liu Zhigao Bu | 2020 | Science China(Life Sciences)2020,63,5: | 72 |
| 2 | Emergence and prevalence of naturally occurring lower virulent African swine fever viruses in domestic pigs in China in 2020显示文摘African swine fever virus(ASFV)has been circulating in China for more than two years,and it is not clear whether the biological properties of the virus have changed.Here,we report on our surveillance of ASFVs in seven provinces of China,from June to December,2020.A total of 22 viruses were isolated and characterized as genotype II ASFVs,with mutations,deletions,insertions,or short-fragment replacement occurring in all isolates compared with Pig/HLJ/2018(HLJ/18),the earliest isolate in China.Eleven isolates had four different types of natural mutations or deletion in the EP402R gene and displayed a nonhemadsorbing(non-HAD)phenotype.Four isolates were tested for virulence in pigs;two were found to be as highly lethal as HLJ/18.However,two non-HAD isolates showed lower virulence but were highly transmissible;infection with 106 TCID50 dose was partially lethal and caused acute or sub-acute disease,whereas 103 TCID50 dose caused non-lethal,sub-acute or chronic disease,and persistent infection.The emergence of lower virulent natural mutants brings greater difficulty to the early diagnosis of ASF and creates new challenges for ASFV control. | Encheng Sun Zhenjiang Zhang Zilong Wang Xijun He Xianfeng Zhang Lulu Wang Wenqing Wang Lianyu Huang Fei Xi Haoyue Huangfu Ghebremedhin Tsegay Hong Huo Jianhong Sun Zhijun Tian Wei Xia Xuewu Yu Fang Li Renqiang Liu Yuntao Guan Dongming Zhao Zhigao Bu | 2021 | Science China(Life Sciences)2021,64,5: | 46 |
| 3 | Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soils of Beijing and Tianjin region: Vertical distribution, correlation with TOC and transport mechanism显示文摘The contents and distribution of 20 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HAHs) were investigated in 16 soil profiles of Beijing and Tianjin region. Transport of high molecular weight PAHs (HMWPAHs) and the correlation between total organic carbon (TOC) and their concentrations were also discussed. The results indicated that highly contaminated sites were located at urban or wastewater irrigation areas and pollutants mainly accumulated in topsoil (< 40 cm), with a sharp content decrease at the vertical boundary of 30-40 cm. Total PAHs/HAHs concentrations in soils from Tianjin were markedly greater than those from Beijing. Even the contents at bottoms of soil profiles in Tianjin were higher than those in topsoils of Beijing soil profile. HMWPAHs dominated the PAH profiles, exhibiting a uniform distribution of pyrogenic origin between topsoils and deep layers. Furthermore, the percentages of HMWPAHs remained relative constant with the depth of soil profiles, which were consistent with the distribution of particulate matter-associated PAHs in the local atmospheric environments. Therefore, HMWPAHs transport with particulates might be the predominant source found in soil profiles. | HE Fengpeng ZHANG Zhihuan WAN Yunyang LU Song WANG Liang BU Qingwei | 2009 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2009,21,5: | 34 |
| 4 | Phytochemistry and pharmacology of genus Ephedra显示文摘The genus Ephedra of the Ephedraceae family contains more than 60 species of nonflowering seed plants distributed throughout Asia, America, Europe, and North Africa. These Ephedra species have medicinal, ecological, and economic value. This review aims to summarize the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of the Ephedra species to unveil opportunities for future research. Comprehensive information on the Ephedra species was collected by electronic search(e.g., GoogleScholar, Pubmed, Sci Finder, and Web of Science) and phytochemical books. The chemical compounds isolated from the Ephedra species include alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, polysaccharides, and others. The in vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies on the crude extracts, fractions and few isolated compounds of Ephedra species showed anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anti-obesity, antiviral, and diuretic activities. After chemical and pharmacological profiling, current research is focused on the antibacterial and antifungal effects of the phenolic acid compounds, the immunosuppressive activity of the polysaccharides, and the antitumor activity of flavonoids. | ZHANG Ben-Mei WANG Zhi-Bin XIN Ping WANG Qiu-Hong BU He KUANG Hai-Xue | 2018 | Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines2018,16,11: | 21 |
| 5 | Serum cystatin C levels are negatively correlated with post-stroke cognitive dysfunction显示文摘Stroke is the leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide,and cognitive impairment and dementia are major complications of ischemic stroke.Cystatin C (CysC) has been found to be a neuroprotective factor in animal studies.However,the relationship between CysC levels and cognitive dysfunction in previous studies has revealed different results.This prospective observational study investigated the correlation between serum CysC levels and post-stroke cognitive dysfunction at 3 months.Data from 638 patients were obtained from the China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke (CATIS).Cognitive dysfunction was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) at 3 months after stroke.According to the MMSE score,308 patients (52.9%) had post-stroke cognitive dysfunction.After adjusting for potential confounding factors,the odds ratio (95% CI) of post-stroke cognitive dysfunction for the highest quartile of serum CysC levels was 0.54 (0.30–0.98),compared with the lowest quartile.The correlation between serum CysC and cognitive dysfunction was modified by renal function status.We observed a negative linear dose-response correlation between CysC and cognitive dysfunction in patients with normal renal function (Plinearity = 0.044),but not in those with abnormal renal function.Elevated serum CysC levels were correlated with a low risk of 3-month cognitive dysfunction in patients with acute ischemic stroke,especially in those with normal renal function.The current results suggest that CysC is a protective factor for post-stroke cognitive dysfunction,and could be used to treat post-stroke cognitive dysfunction.The CATIS study was approved by the Institutional Review Boards at Soochow University from China (approval No.2012-02) on December 30,2012,and was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier No.NCT01840072) on April 25,2013. | Dao-Xia Guo Zheng-Bao Zhu Chong-Ke Zhong Xiao-Qing Bu Li-Hua Chen Tan Xu Li-Bing Guo Jin-Tao Zhang Dong Li Jian-Hui Zhang Zhong Ju Chung-Shiuan Chen Jing Chen Yong-Hong Zhang Jiang He | 2020 | Neural Regeneration Research2020,15,5: | 14 |
| 6 | A novel CFTR mutation found in a Chinese patient with cystic fibrosis显示文摘Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is rare in Chinese. We investigated the mutations in the gene of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in a Chinese CF patient and reviewed the clinical features, gene mutations in Chinese CF cases. Methods Blood samples were collected from a previously reported CF girl and her parents. The 24 coding exons of CFTR of the proband were amplified and sequenced. Results A Chinese girl of 16 years old was diagnosed as CF at the age of 14. She had recurrent productive cough with bronchiectasis in bilateral upper lobes, parasinusitis and otitis media, but without pancreatic involvement. Her sweat chloride was (108.9 ±3.3) mmol/L. A heterozygous novel missense mutation of 699 C→ A which results in the amino acid change of N189K was identified in exon 5. In addition, a heterozygous 3821-3823 delT mutation in exon 19 was found in CFTR. The mutation 699C→A was inherited from her father, and the 3821-3823delT mutation was from her mother. Twenty patients with CF in Chinese reported from 1974 to 2004 were also reviewed. DelF508 mutation was not found in the nine cases whose CFTR mutations were analyzed. Conclusions The CF proband carries two heterozygous mutations (699C→A and 3821-3823delT) in CFTR. 699C→A mutation is a novel mutation which is not reported previously. Review of reported Chinese cases suggests that the genotype of Chinese CF may be different from those of white cases. More studies are needed to understand the spectra of CFTR and clinical CF features in Chinese. | LI Nan PEI Pei BU Ding-fang HE Bing WANG Guang-fa | 2006 | Chinese Medical Journal2006,,2: | 14 |
| 7 | High-Efficiency Reduction of Rice Amylose Content via CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Base Editing显示文摘Rice is a staple food for more than half of the human population.It has been estimated that by 2030,rice production must increase by 40%to meet the growing demand(Khush,2005).In addition,with the improvement of people's living standards,the demand for elite rice with better eating and cooking quality(ECQ)is increasing.ECQ is determined by several factors,including amylose content(AC),gel consistency(GC),gelatinization temperature(GT)and viscosity,where AC is the predominant factor(Juliano,1998). | Li He Li Xiufeng Xu Yang Liu Hualong He Mingliang Tian Xiaojie Wang Zhenyu Wu Xiuju Bu Qingyun Yang Jie | 2020 | Rice science2020,27,6: | 7 |
| 8 | MicroRNA-670 aggravates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury via the Yap pathway显示文摘Apoptosis is an important programmed cell death process involved in ischemia/reperfusion injury.MicroRNAs are considered to play an important role in the molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury.However,whether miR-670 can regulate cell growth and death in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and the underlying mechanism are poorly understood.In this study,we established mouse models of transient middle artery occlusion and Neuro 2a cell models of oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation to investigate the potential molecular mechanism by which miR-670 exhibits its effects during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury both in vitro and in vivo.Our results showed that after ischemia/reperfusion injury,miR-670 expression was obviously increased.After miR-670 expression was inhibited with an miR-670 antagomir,cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury-induced neuronal death was obviously reduced.When miR-670 overexpression was induced by an miR-670 agomir,neuronal apoptosis was increased.In addition,we also found that miR-670 could promote Yap degradation via phosphorylation and worsen neuronal apoptosis and neurological deficits.Inhibition of miR-670 reduced neurological impairments after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.These results suggest that microRNA-670 aggravates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury through the Yap pathway,which may be a potential target for treatment of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.The present study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of China Medical University on February 27,2017(IRB No.2017PS035K). | Shi-Jia Yu Ming-Jun Yu Zhong-Qi Bu Ping-Ping He Juan Feng | 2021 | Neural Regeneration Research2021,16,6: | 6 |
| 9 | OsMKKK70 regulates grain size and leaf angle in rice through the OsMKK4-OsMAPK6-OsWRKY53 signaling pathway显示文摘Grain size and leaf angle are key agronomic traits that determine final yields in rice.However,the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood.Here we demonstrate that the Oryza sativa Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase OsMKKK70 regulates grain size and leaf angle in rice.Overexpressing OsMKKK70 caused plants to produce longer seeds.The osmkkk62/70 double mutant and the osmkkk55/62/70 triple mutant displayed significantly smaller seeds and a more erect leaf angle compared to the wild type,indicating that OsMKKK70 functions redundantly with its homologs Os MKKK62 and Os MKKK55.Biochemical analysis demonstrated that OsMKKK70 is an active kinase and that OsMKKK70 interacts with Os MKK4 and promotes Os MAPK6 phosphorylation.In addition,the osmkkk62/70 double mutant showed reduced sensitivity to Brassinosteroids(BRs).Finally,overexpressing constitutively active Os MKK4,Os MAPK6,and Os WRKY53 can partially complement the smaller seed size,erect leaf,and BR hyposensitivity of the osmkkk62/70 double mutant.Taken together,these findings suggest that OsMKKK70 might regulate grain size and leaf angle in rice by activating Os MAPK6 and that OsMKKK70,Os MKK4,Os MAPK6,and Os WRKY53 function in a common signaling pathway that controls grain shape and leaf angle. | Zhiqi Liu Enyang Mei Xiaojie Tian Mingliang He Jiaqi Tang Min Xu Jiali Liu Lu Song Xiufeng Li Zhenyu Wang Qingjie Guan Qijiang Xu Qingyun Bu | 2021 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2021,63,12: | 6 |
| 10 | The heterogeneity of islet autoantibodies and the progression of islet failure in type 1 diabetic patients显示文摘Type 1 diabetes mellitus is heterogeneous in many facets. The patients suffered from type 1 diabetes present several levels of islet function as well as variable number and type of islet-specific autoantibodies. This study was to investigate prevalence and heterogeneity of the islet autoantibodies and clinical phenotypes of type 1 diabetes mellitus; and also discussed the process of islet failure and its risk factors in Chinese type 1 diabetic patients. A total of 1,291 type 1 diabetic patients were enrolled in this study. Demographic information was collected. Laboratory tests including mixed-meal tolerance test, human leukocyte antigen alleles, hemoglobin A1 c, lipids, thyroid function and islet autoantibodies were conducted. The frequency of islet-specific autoantibody in newly diagnosed T1 DM patients(duration shorter than half year) was 73% in East China. According to binary logistic regressions, autoantibody positivity, longer duration and lower Body Mass Index were the risk factors of islet failure. As the disease developed, autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase declined as well as the other two autoantibodies against zinc transporter 8 and islet antigen 2. The decrease of autoantibodies was positively correlated with aggressive beta cell destruction. Autoantibodies can facilitate the identification of classic T1 DM from other subtypes and predict the progression of islet failure. As there were obvious heterogeneity in autoantibodies and clinical manifestation in different phenotypes of the disease, we should take more factors into consideration when identifying type 1 diabetes mellitus. | Jin Liu Lingling Bian Li Ji Yang Chen Heng Chen Yong Gu Bingqin Ma Wei Gu Xinyu Xu Yun Shi Jian Wang Dalong Zhu Zilin Sun Jianhua Ma Hui Jin Xing Shi Heng Miao Bing Xin Yan Zhu Zhenwen Zhang Ruifang Bu Lan Xu Guangde Shi Wei Tang Wei Li Dongmei Zhou Jun Liang Xingbo Cheng Bimin Shi Jixiang Dong Ji Hu Chen Fang Shao Zhong Weinan Yu Weiping Lu Chenguang Wu Li Qian Jiancheng Yu Jialin Gao Xiaoqiang Fei Qingqing Zhang Xueqin Wang Shiwei Cui Jinluo Cheng Ning Xu Guofeng Wang Guoqing Han Chunrong Xu Yun Xie Minmin An Wei Zhang Zhixiao Wang Yun Cai Qi Fu Yu Fu Shuai Zheng Fan Yang Qingfang Hu Hao Dai Yu Jin Zheng Zhang Kuanfeng Xu Yifan Li Jie Shen Hongwen Zhou Wei He Xuqin Zheng Xiao Han Liping Yu Jinxiong She Mei Zhang Tao Yang | 2016 | Science China(Life Sciences)2016,59,9: | 5 |

| 12 | Post-marketing safety surveillance and reevaluation of Motherwort injection:A clinical study of 10094 cases显示文摘OBJECTIVE:To investigate the safety profiles of Motherwort injection(MI).METHODS:A multi-center,prospective and drugderived hospital intensive monitoring method was conducted to assess the safety of MI in real world applications.This study was based on a very large population after the injection was approved and marketed in China.All patients using the injection in participating hospitals were monitored to determine the incidence,pattern,severity and outcome of associated adverse events.RESULTS:The post-marketing surveillance was performed in 10 094 female patients from April to December,2015.The incidence of adverse drug reactions(ADRs) was 0.79‰(8/10 094).Among the 8 patients,the reported adverse events mainly included systemic abnormalities,such as fever,chills and eyelid edema;skin and appendages disorders,such as pruritus and rash;gastrointestinal disorders,such as nausea,abdominal distension and pain;heart rate and rhythm disorders,such as palpitation and increased heart rate.All of these ADRs were mild in severity.CONCLUSION:In this study the ADRs incidence rate of MI is very low,which supports that it is generally safe for use in obstetric and gynecological diseases.However,the total number of 8 ADRs recorded over a relatively short time span seems limited,and the low number of reports could not represent an absolute guarantee of safety. | Cao Shan Zhang Wenhao Zhao Ziwei Heng Mingli Bu Huaien Wang Hongwu Liu Xinghui Wang Zhong Cai Yan Ma Yuyan Cui Shihong Deng Jihong Ding Guifeng Ding Yajuan Dong Linhong Duan Zhentao Fan Ling Fan Yang Fu Fen He Jing Ji Shuying Jin Lin Li Hong Li Hongying Liao Tao Lu Wei Luo Xiucui Lü Zhihui Ma Fengchun Ma Dafeng Shi Tianyun Sun Juying Sun Xiaotong Teng Hong Wang Jinhua Wang Ruihua Wang Ying Wang Zhengling Xi Jie Xu Minjuan Xu Zhihong Yan Qian Yang Cuirong Yang Yimei Yin Jie Yu Jinhua Yuan Wenjun Zhang Guanli Zhang Meihua Zhao Renfeng Zhong Yonghong Zhou Jian | 2018 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2018,38,4: | 4 |
| 13 | Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aer Met 100 Ultra-high Strength Steel Joints by Laser Welding显示文摘Aer Met100 ultra-high strength steel plates with a thickness of 2 mm were welded using a CO2 laser welding system. The influences of the welding process parameters on the morphology and microstructure of the welding joints were investigated, and the mechanical property of the welding joints was analyzed. The experimental results showed that the fusion zone of welding joint mainly consisted of columnar grains and a fine dendrite substructure grew epitaxially from the matrix. With the other conditions remaining unchanged, a finer weld microstructure was along with the scanning speed increase. The solidification microstructure gradually transformed from cellular crystal into dendrite crystal and the spaces of dendrite secondary arms rose from the fusion line to the center of the fusion zone. In the fusion zone of the weld, the rapid cooling caused the formation of martensite, which led the microhardness of the fusion zone higher than that of the matrix and the heat affected zone. The tensile strength of the welding joints was tested as 1 700 MPa, which was about 87% of the matrix. However, the tensile strength of the welding joints without defects existed was tested as 1832 MPa, which was about 94% of the matrix. | 刘奋成 YU Xiaobin HUANG Chunping HE Lihua CHEN Yuhua BU Wende | 2015 | Journal of Wuhan University of Technology(Materials Science)2015,30,4: | 4 |
| 14 | A cationic metal-organic framework based on {Zn4} cluster for rapid and selective adsorption of dyes显示文摘Until now, to remove the harmful organic dyes from effluents is an outstanding challenge. The design and synthesis of new porous materials capable of selectively adsorbing dyes are critical to the environment and human health. Here, a unique cluster-based cationic metal-organic framework, named{[Zn_8(BTA)_6(L)_5Cl_2]·(NO_3)_3}·5 DMF(NUM-4) was synthesized, which displays one-dimensional(1 D)open channels along a axis in its 3 D supramolecular stacking structure. Benefiting from the nature of cationic framework and high surface area/pore volume, NUM-4 shows rapid and selective adsorption of anionic dyes(MO, AO, CR and MB) based on the charge-exclusive effect. Besides, the adsorbed dyes can be easily released in NH_4Cl saturated solution of ethanol. | Weiwei He Na Li Xi Wang Tongliang Hu Xianhe Bu | 2018 | Chinese Chemical Letters2018,29,6: | 4 |
| 15 | Effects of Polygonum cuspidatum on AMPK-FOXO3α Signaling Pathway in Rat Model of Uric Acid-Induced Renal Damage显示文摘Objective: To observe the effects of Chinese medicine(CM) Polygonum cuspidatum(PC) on adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK), forkhead box O3α(FOXO3α), Toll-like receptor-4(TLR4), NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3(NLRP3), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) expression in a rat model of uric acid-induced renal damage and to determine the molecular mechanism. Methods: A rat model of uric acid-induced renal damage was established, and rats were randomly divided into a model group, a positive drug group, and high-, medium-, and low-dose PC groups(n=12 per group). A normal group(n=6) was used as the control. Rats in the normal and model groups were administered distilled water(10 m L·kg^(–1)) by intragastric infusion. Rats in the positive drug group and the high-, medium-, and low-dose PC groups were administered allopurinol(23.33 mg·kg^(–1)), and 7.46, 3.73, or 1.87 g·kg^(–1)·d^(–1) PC by intragastric infusion, respectively for 6 to 8 weeks. After the intervention, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect AMPK, FOXO3α, TLR4, NLRP3, and MCP-1 m RNA and protein levels in renal tissue or serum. Results: Compared with the normal group, the m RNA transcription levels of AMPK and FOXO3α in the model group were significantly down-regulated, and protein levels of AMPKα1, pAMPKα1 and FOXO3α were significantly down-regulated at the 6 th and 8 th weeks(P<0.01 or P<0.05). The m RNA transcription and protein levels of TLR4, NLRP3 and MCP-1 were significantly up-regulated(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Compared with the model group, at the 6 th week, the mRNA transcription levels of AMPK in the high-and medium-dose groups, and protein expression levels of AMPKα1, p AMPKα1 and FOXO3α in the high-dose PC group, AMPKα1 and p AMPKα1 in the mediumdose PC group, and p AMPKα1 in the low-dose PC group were significantly up-regulated(P<0.01 or P<0.05); the m RNA transcription and protein levels of TLR4 and NLRP3 in the 3 CM groups, and protein expression levels of MCP-1 in the medium-and low-dose PC groups were down-regulated(P<0.01 or P<0.05). At the 8 th week, the m RNA transcription levels of AMPK in the high-dose PC group and FOXO3α in the medium-dose PC group, and protein levels of AMPKα1, p AMPKα1 and FOXO3α in the 3 CM groups were significantly up-regulated(P<0.01 or P<0.05); the m RNA transcription levels of TLR4 in the medium-and low-dose PC groups, NLRP3 in the high-and low-dose PC groups and MCP-1 in the medium-and low-dose PC groups, and protein expression levels of TLR4, NLRP3 and MCP-1 in the 3 CM groups were down-regulated(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion: PC up-regulated the expression of AMPK and its downstream molecule FOXO3α and inhibited the biological activity of TLR4, NLRP3, and MCP-1, key signal molecules in the immunoinflammatory network pathway, which may be the molecularmechanism of PC to improve hyperuricemia-mediated immunoinflammatory metabolic renal damage. | MA Wei-guo WANG Jie BU Xiang-wei ZHANG Hong-hong ZHANG Jian-ping ZHANG Xiao-xu HE Yu-xi WANG Da-li ZHANG Zheng-ju MENG Feng-xian | 2019 | Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine2019,25,3: | 4 |
| 16 | A Landscape Pattern Analysis Method Based on Boundaries and Nodes:A Case Study in Upper Minjiang River,China显示文摘Traditionally,patch-based analysis at the landscape scale fragmentation has been used in the study of landscape ecology while the study of boundary and node has not been considered as much detail until recently.This study investigated the possibility of applying boundary-and node-based methods in landscape pattern analysis to the upper reaches of the Minjiang River in the southwestern China.Boundary-based and node-based landscape indices were selected to be used in analyzing changes in landscape patterns,and the results were compared with analysis using traditional pattern indices.We compared the responses of patch-area-based,boundary-length-based and node-number-based indices,and concluded that boundary-based and node-based indices are more sensitive to disturbance than patch-based indices with various patterns,and node-based indices are even more sensitive than boundary-based ones.Thus,the results suggest that boundary-based and node-based pattern analysis methods provide helpful supplementary information to traditional patch-based pattern analysis methods.The results about pattern dynamics of landscapes in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River based on boundaries and nodes showed that with human disturbance,the dominance of forest landscape was weakened by other landscape types;thus the landscape pattern of the study area became more homogeneous and the boundary network became more complex.These changes further augmented disturbance interfaces in the landscape and increased the possibilities of further landscape fragmentation. | WEN Qingchun LI Xiuzhen HE Hongshi HU Yuanman CHEN Xin CHANG Yu WANG Wei BU Rencang | 2014 | Chinese Geographical Science2014,24,1: | 3 |
| 17 | Cultivation effects on soil texture and fertility in an arid desert region of northwestern China显示文摘In arid desert regions of northwestern China, reclamation and subsequent irrigated cultivation have become effective ways to prevent desertification, expand arable croplands, and develop sustainable agricultural production. Improvement in soil texture and fertility is crucial to high soil quality and stable crop yield. However, knowledge on the long-term effects of the conversion of desert lands into arable croplands is very limited. To address this problem, we conducted this study in an arid desert region of northwestern China to understand the changes in soil physical-chemical properties after 0, 2, 5, 10, 17, and 24 years of cultivation. Our results showed that silt and clay contents at the 17-year-old sites increased 17.5 and 152.3 folds, respectively, compared with that at the 0-year-old sites. The soil aggregate size fraction and its stability exhibited an exponential growth trend with increasing cultivation ages, but no significant change was found for the proportion of soil macroaggregates(>5.00 mm) during the 17 years of cultivation. The soil organic carbon(SOC) content at the 24-year-old sites was 6.86 g/kg and increased 8.8 folds compared with that at the 0-year-old sites. The total(or available) nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents showed significant increasing trends and reached higher values after 17(or 24) years of cultivation. Changes in soil physical-chemical properties successively experienced slow, rapid, and stable development stages, but some key properties(such as soil aggregate stability and SOC) were still too low to meet the sustainable agricultural production. The results of this long-term study indicated that reasonable agricultural management, such as expanding no-tillage land area, returning straw to the fields, applying organic fertilizer, reducing chemical fertilizer application, and carrying out soil testing for formula fertilization, is urgently needed in arid desert regions. | HE Mingzhu JI Xibin BU Dongsheng ZHI Jinhu | 2020 | Journal of Arid Land2020,12,4: | 3 |
| 18 | Oryza sativa mediator subunit OsMED25 interacts with OsBZR1 to regulate brassinosteroid signaling and plant architecture in rice显示文摘Brassinosteroids(BRs)are plant-specific steroid hormones which regulate plant growth,development,and adaptation.Transcriptional regulation plays key roles in plant hormone signaling.A mediator can serve as a bridge between gene-specific transcription factors and the RNA polymerase machinery,functioning as an essential component in regulating the transcriptional process.However,whether a mediator is involved in BR signaling is unknown.Here,we discovered that Oryza sativa mediator subunit 25(Os MED25)is an important regulator of rice BR signaling.Phenotypic analyses showed that the Os MED25-RNAi and osmed25 mutant presented erect leaves,as observed in BR-deficient mutants.In addition,the Os MED25-RNAi and osmed25 mutant exhibited decreased BR sensitivity.Genetic analysis indicated that Os MED25-RNAi could suppress the enhanced BR signaling phenotype of Osbzr1-D.Further biochemical analysis showed that Os MED25 interacts with Os BZR1 in vivo,and Os MED25 is enriched on the promoter of Os BZR1 target genes.RNA sequencing analysis indicated that Os MED25 affects the expression of approximately 45%of Os BZR1-regulated genes and mainly functions as a corepressor of Os BZR1.Together,these findings revealed that Os MED25 regulates rice BR signaling by interacting with Os BZR1 and modulating the expression of Os BZR1 target genes,thus expanding our understanding of the roles of mediators in plant hormone signaling. | Yuekun Ren Xiaojie Tian Shuyu Li Enyang Mei Mingliang He Jiaqi Tang Min Xu Xiufeng Li Zhenyu Wang Chuanyou Li Qingyun Bu | 2020 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2020,62,6: | 3 |
| 19 | Noncontrast-enhanced MRI-based Noninvasive Score for Portal Hypertension(CHESS1802):An International Multicenter Study显示文摘Background and Aims:This study aimed to determine the performance of the non-invasive score using noncontrastenhanced MRI(CHESS-DIS score)for detecting portal hy-pertension in cirrhosis.Methods:In this international multicenter,diagnostic study(ClinicalTrials.gov,NCT03766880),patients with cirrhosis who had hepatic venous pressure gradient(HVPG)measurement and noncontrast-enhanced MRI were prospectively recruited from four university hospitals in China(n=4)and Turkey(n=1)between December 2018 and April 2019.A cohort of patients was retrospectively recruited from a university hospital in Italy between March 2015 and November 2017.After segmentation of the liver on fat-suppressed T1-weighted MRI maps,CHESS-DIS score was calculated automatically by an in-house developed code based on the quantification of liver surface nodularity.Results:A total of 149 patients were included,of which 124 were from four Chinese hospitals(training cohort)and 25 were from two international hospitals(validation cohort).A positive correlation between CHESS-DIS score and HVPG was found with the correlation coefficients of 0.36(p<0.0001)and 0.55(p<0.01)for the training and validation cohorts,respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of CHESS-DIS score in detection of clinically significant portal hypertension(CSPH)was 0.81 and 0.9 in the training and validation cohorts,respectively.The intra-class correlation coefficients for assessing the inter-and intra-observer agreement were 0.846 and 0.841,respectively.Conclusions:A non-invasive score using noncontrast-enhanced MRI was developed and proved to be significantly correlated with invasive HVPG.Besides,this score could be used to detect CSPH in patients with cirrhosis. | Yanna Liu Tianyu Tang NecatiÖrmeci Yifei Huang Jitao Wang Xiaoguo Li Zhiwei Li Weimin An Dengxiang Liu Chunqing Zhang Changchun Liu Jinqiang Liu Chuan Liu Guangchuan Wang Cristina Mosconi Alberta Cappelli Antonio Bruno Seray Akçalar EmrecanÇelebioğlu EvrenÜstüner Sadık Bilgiç Zeynep Ellik ÖzgünÖmer Asiller Lei Li Haijun Zhang Ning Kang Dan Xu Ruiling He Yan Wang Yang Bu Ye Gu Shenghong Ju Rita Golfieri Xiaolong Qi | 2021 | Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology2021,9,6: | 3 |
| 20 | Polysaccharide Krestin Prevents Alzheimer’s Disease-type Pathology and Cognitive Deficits by Enhancing Monocyte Amyloid-βProcessing显示文摘Deficits in the clearance of amyloidβprotein(Aβ)by the peripheral system play a critical role in the pathogenesis of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease(AD).Impaired uptake of Aβby dysfunctional monocytes is deemed to be one of the major mechanisms underlying deficient peripheral Aβclearance in AD.In the current study,flow cytometry and biochemical and behavioral techniques were applied to investigate the effects of polysaccharide krestin(PSK)on AD-related pathology in vitro and in vivo.We found that PSK,widely used in therapy for various cancers,has the potential to enhance Aβuptake and intracellular processing by human monocytes in vitro.After administration of PSK by intraperitoneal injection,APP/PS1 mice performed better in behavioral tests,along with reduced Aβdeposition,neuroinflammation,neuronal loss,and tau hyperphosphorylation.These results suggest that PSK holds promise as a preventive agent for AD by strengthening the Aβclearance by blood monocytes and alleviating AD-like pathology. | Si-Han Chen Chen-Yang He Ying-Ying Shen Gui-Hua Zeng Ding-Yuan Tian Yuan Cheng Man-Yu Xu Dong-Yu Fan Cheng-Rong Tan An-Yu Shi Xian-Le Bu Yan-Jiang Wang | 2022 | Neuroscience Bulletin2022,38,3: | 3 |
