| 1 | SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating for subduction-related gran-itic rocks in the northern part of east Junggar, Xinjiang显示文摘SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating on the Xileketehalasu granodiorite porphyry and Kalasayi monodiorite porphyry that intrude middle Devonian Beitashan Formation at the north part of east Junggar region shows that they were formed at 381±6 Ma and 376±10 Ma respectively. They are interpreted as subduction-related granitic rocks, which is the first report that the isotopic ages for the granitic rocks range from 350 to 390 Ma. Another determined age for the Kalasayi monodiorite porphyry is 408±9 Ma, representing the age of underlain Lower Devonian volcanic rocks. Thus, the U-Pb dates suggest that the northeastward subduction of Junggar ocean from southwest occurred at 408 to 376 Ma (the real inter- val may be larger). Because the ore-bearing porphyry intruded following the formation of the volcanic rocks of middle Devonian Beitashan Formation, their tec- tonic setting is similar to the Andes Mountains that hosts world-class porphyry copper deposits, and the researched area could be regarded as a potential area for prospecting large porphyry copper deposits. | ZHANG Zhaochong YAN Shenghao CHEN Bailin ZHOU Gang HE Yongkang CHAI Fengmei HE Lixin WAN Yusheng | 2006 | Chinese Science Bulletin2006,51,8: | 43 |
| 2 | Ambient volatile organic compounds pollution in China显示文摘Owing to rapid economic and industrial development,China has been suffering from degraded air quality and visibility. Volatile organic compounds(VOCs)are important precursors to the formation of ground-level ozone and hence photochemical smog. Some VOCs adversely affect human health. Therefore,VOCs have recently elicited public concern and given new impetus to scientific interest. China is now implementing a series of polices to control VOCs pollution. The key to formulating policy is understanding the ambient VOCs pollution status. This paper mainly analyzes the species,levels,sources,and spatial distributions of VOCs in ambient air. The results show that the concentrations of ambient VOCs in China are much higher than those of developed countries such as the United States and Japan,especial benzene,which exceeds available standards. At the same time,the ozone formation potential(OFP)and secondary organic aerosol formation potential(SOAFP)of various VOCs are calculated. Aromatics and alkenes have much higher OFPs,while aromatics have higher SOAFP. The OFPs of ambient VOCs in the cities of Beijing,Guangzhou and Changchun are very high,and the SOAFP of ambient VOCs in the cities of Hangzhou,Guangzhou and Changchun are higher. | Xinmin Zhang Zhigang Xue Hong Li Li Yan Yuan Yang Yi Wang Jingchun Duan Lei Li Fahe Chai Miaomiao Cheng Weiqi Zhang | 2017 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2017,29,5: | 34 |
| 3 | Ge-Gen Decoction attenuates oxytocin-induced uterine contraction and writhing response: potential application in primary dysmenorrhea therapy显示文摘The uterine tetanic contraction and uterine artery blood flow reduction are possible reasons for primary dysmenorrhea(PD). In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the uterine relaxant effect and the influence on uterine artery blood velocity of Ge-Gen Decoction(GGD), a well-known Chinese herbal formula. In female ICR mice, uterine contraction was induced by oxytocin exposure following estradiol benzoate pretreatment, and the uterine artery blood velocity was detected by Doppler ultrasound. Histopathological examination of the uterine tissue samples were performed by H&E staining. Ex vivo studies demonstrated that oxytocin, posterior pituitary, or acetylcholine induced contractions in isolated mouse uterus. GGD inhibited both spontaneous and stimulated contractions. In vivo study demonstrated that GGD significantly reduced oxytocin-induced writhing responses with a maximal inhibition of 87%. Further study demonstrated that GGD normalized oxytocin-induced abnormalities of prostaglandins F_2 alpha(PGF_(2α)) and Ca^(2+) in mice. In addition, injection of oxytocin induced a decrease in uterine artery blood flow velocity. Pretreatment with GGD reversed the oxytocin response on blood flow velocity. Histopathological examination showed pretreatment with GGD alleviated inflammation and edema in the uterus when compared with the model group. Both ex vivo and in vivo results indicated that GGD possessed a significant spasmolytic effect on uterine tetanic contraction as well as improvement on uterine artery blood velocity which may involve PGF_(2α) and Ca^(2+) signaling, suggesting that GGD may have a clinic potential in PD therapy. | YANG Lu CHAI Cheng-Zhi YUE Xin-Yi YAN Yan KOU Jun-Ping CAO Zheng-Yu YU Bo-Yang | 2016 | Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines2016,14,2: | 17 |
| 4 | Effective components of Chinese herbs reduce central nervous system function decline induced by iron overload显示文摘Abnormally increased levels of iron in the brain trigger cascade amplification in Alzheimer's disease patients,resulting in neuronal death.This study investigated whether components extracted from the Chinese herbs epimedium herb,milkvetch root and kudzuvine root could relieve the abnormal expression of iron metabolism-related protein in Alzheimer's disease patients.An APPswe/PS1ΔE9 double transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease was used.The intragastric administration of compounds from epimedium herb,milkvetch root and kudzuvine root improved pathological alterations such as neuronal edema,increased the number of neurons,downregulated divalent metal transporter 1 expression,upregulated ferroportin 1 expression,and inhibited iron overload in the cerebral cortex of mice with Alzheimer's disease.These compounds reduced iron overload-induced impairment of the central nervous system,indicating a new strategy for developing novel drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. | Xian-hui Dong Jiang-tao Bai Wei-na Kong Xiao-ping He Peng Yan Tie-mei Shao Wen-guo Yu Xi-qing Chai Yan-hua Wu Cong Liu | 2015 | Neural Regeneration Research2015,10,5: | 14 |
| 5 | Geochemical environmental changes and dinosaur extinction during the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/T) transition in the Nanxiong Basin, South China: Evidence from dinosaur eggshells显示文摘The complex patterns of trace elements including Ir and isotope distributions in the three K/T sections of the Nanxiong Basin prove the existence of two environmental events in the latest Cretaceous and earliest Paleocene. The first geochemical environmental event occurred at about 2 Ma prior to the K/T boundary interval, where the dinosaur diversity was hardly reduced, except that a number of patho-logical eggshells appeared. The second one was larger and occurred just at and near the Creta-ceous-Paleogene (K/T) boundary. The extinction of the dinosaurs spread out within 250 ka with major extinction beginning at the boundary interval. This is even later than their extinction in Montana, North America and in India. The cause of the dinosaur extinction may be the result of a complex multiple events brought about by the coincidence of global environment change marked by multiple Ir and δ 18O anomalies, and environmental poisoning characterized by other trace elements derived from the local source. Successive short- and long-term conditions of geochemically induced environmental stress negatively affected the reproductive process and thus contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs. | ZHAO ZiKui MAO XueYing CHAI ZhiFang YANG GaoChuang ZHANG FuCheng YAN Zheng | 2009 | Chinese Science Bulletin2009,54,5: | 12 |
| 6 | Disease profile and plasma neutralizing activity of postvaccination Omicron BA.1 infection in Tianjin,China:a retrospective study显示文摘Dear Editor,SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant BA.1 first emerged on the Chinese mainland on January 8,2022,in Tianjin and caused a large wave of infections.1 Four rounds of mass testing of its~14 million residents were launched on January 9,12,15,and 20,respectively.As of February 7,2022,a total of 430 individuals were tested positive for Omicron BA.1,with no new infections detected for the following 16 days.In the Chinese mainland,the most delivered vaccines are inactivated vaccines.As of January 8,2022,up to 93.2%of Tianjin’s residents had been vaccinated with at least one dose.2 We investigated the protection conferred by vaccination against Omicron BA.1 by examining the breakthrough infections among vaccinees as compared with unvaccinated cases.Our study population comprised all 430 cases during the outbreak of Omicron BA.1 in Tianjin. | Hong Zheng Yunlong Cao Xiaosu Chen Fengmei Wang Ye Hu Weiliang Song Yangyang Chai Qingqing Gu Yansong Shi Yingmei Feng Shuxun Liu Yan Xie Xiaoliang Sunney Xie Wentao Jiang Zhongyang Shen | 2022 | Cell Research2022,32,8: | 12 |

| 8 | Comparison of microstructures and mechanical properties of composite extruded AZ31 sheets显示文摘The microstructures and mechanical properties of the composite extruded AZ31/AZ31 and AZ31/4047 Al sheets were investigated and made a comparison to the conventional extruded AZ31 sheet.Owing to the introduced intense shear deformation at the interface during the composite extrusion,grain refinement and tilted texture were detected in AZ31 layers of the AZ31/AZ31 and AZ31/4047 Al sheets,while the conventional extruded AZ31 sheet exhibited a relative coarse,inhomogeneous microstructure and strong basal texture.The compressiontension yield ratio was increased gradually from the AZ31 to the AZ31/AZ31 and AZ31/4047 Al sheets.Besides,the AZ31/4047 Al sheet could successfully accomplish the whole bending forming process at room temperature,while the AZ31 and AZ31/AZ31 sheets were both bend-formed to failure with significant cracks in the outer tensile region under the identical bending parameters.Moreover,under the same bending strain,both the outward offset degree of strain neutral layer and the sheet thickening were more serious in the AZ31/4047 Al composite sheet than those of the AZ31 and AZ31/AZ31 sheets.The foremost reason was the quite wide gap of material properties between Mg alloy AZ31 layer(tensile loading in the outer region)and Al 4047 layer(compressive loading in the inner region). | Yanfu Chai Yan Song Bin Jiang Jie Fu Zhongtao Jiang Qingshan Yang Haoran Sheng Guangsheng Huang Dingfei Zhang Fusheng Pan | 2019 | Journal of Magnesium and Alloys2019,7,4: | 11 |
| 9 | Effect of processing on the alkaloids in Aconitum tubers by HPLC-TOF/MS显示文摘According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015, only processed Aconitum tubers can be clinically applied, and the effect of processing is unclear. This research aimed to explore the effect of processing on cardiac efficacy of alkaloids in Aconitum tubers. First, the chemical ingredients in unprocessed and processed Aconitum tubers were identified and compared by using high performance liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry(HPLC-TOF/MS) and multivariate pattern recognition methods. Then the representative alkaloids in Aconitum tubers, aconitine, benzoylaconine, and aconine, which belong to diester-diterpenoid alkaloids,monoester-diterpenoid alkaloids, and amine-diterpenoid alkaloids, respectively, were selected for further validation of attenuated mechanism. Subsequent pharmacological experiments with aconitine, benzoylaconine,and aconine in SD rats were used to validate the effect of processing on cardiac functions. After processing the Aconitum tubers, it was found that the contents of diester-diterpenoid alkaloids were reduced, and those of monoester-diterpenoid alkaloids and amine-diterpenoid alkaloids were increased, suggesting that diesterditerpenoid alkaloids were transformed into monoester-diterpenoid alkaloids and amine-diterpenoid alkaloids.Through further decocting the aconitine in boiling water, it was confirmed that the three alkaloids could be progressively transformed. Pharmacological experiments with aconitine, benzoylaconine, and aconine in SD rats showed that aconitine at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg and aconine at a dose of 10 mg/kg enhanced the cardiac function, while benzoylaconine at a dose of 2 mg/kg weakened the cardiac function. The effect of processing is attributed to the transformation of the most toxic diester-diterpenoid alkaloids into less toxic monoesterditerpenoid alkaloids and amine-diterpenoid alkaloids. | Min Liu Yan Cao Diya Lv Wen Zhang Zhenyu Zhu Hai Zhang Yifeng Chai | 2017 | Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis2017,7,3: | 10 |
| 10 | Effects of weaning age on growth, nutrient digestibility and metabolism,and serum parameters in Hu lambs显示文摘This study was conducted to investigate the effect of weaning age on growth performance, nutrient digestion and metabolism, and serological indicators, and to obtain an optimal weaning age in Hu lambs.Forty-eight newborn Hu lambs(birth weight, 2.53 ± 0.14 kg) were randomly divided into 4 groups. The lambs in control group(ER) suckled their dams. The lambs in other three experimental groups were weaned on milk replacer at 10.20, and 30 days of age(EW10, EW20, and EW30 groups),respectively. The results were as follows: 1) lambs in EW10 and EW30 groups had a lower(P < 0.05) ADG than those in ER group within 10 days post-weaning; the weaned lambs began to show a higher(P < 0.05) ADG than those in ER group after 20 days post-weaning. 2) EW10 and EW20 groups had a higher(P < 0.05) creep feed intake than EW30 and ER groups from 15 to 60 days of age. 3) The apparent digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, gross energy, nitrogen, ether extract and phosphorus, and the deposition of nitrogen and phosphorus did not differ(P > 0.05) among groups; however, the apparent digestibility and deposition of calcium in early weaned lambs were lower(P < 0.05) than those in ewe-reared lambs. 4)The albumin content in EW30 group was lower(P < 0.05) than that in ER group; the globulin content in EW30 group was higher(P < 0.05) than that in other groups; the content of serum insulin-like growth factor-1 in weaned lambs tended to increase compared with lambs in ER group. Finally, the growth rate of lambs decreased within 10 days post-weaning, but early weaning boosted creep feed intake, leading to better growth and health later in life. The Hu lambs can be weaned on milk replacer and creep feed at 10 days of age. | Jianmin Chai Qiyu Diao Haichao Wang Yan Tu Xiaojing Tao Naifeng Zhang | 2015 | Animal Nutrition2015,,4: | 10 |
| 11 | Construction of an anchoring SSR marker genetic linkage map and detection of a sex-linked region in two dioecious populations of red bayberry显示文摘Red bayberry(Morella rubra)is an evergreen fruit tree found in southern China whose whole-genome sequence has recently been published.We updated the linkage map of the species by adding 118 SSR markers and the femalespecific marker MrFT2_BD-SEX.The integrated map included eight linkage groups and spanned 491 cM.Eleven sexassociated markers were identified,six of which were located in linkage group 8,in agreement with the previously reported location of the sex-determining region.The MrFT2_BD-SEX marker was genotyped in 203 cultivated accessions.Among the females of the accessions,we found two female-specific alleles,designated W-b(151 bp)and W-d(129 bp).We previously found that‘Dongkui’,a female cultivar,could produce viable pollen(we refer to such plants‘Dongkui-male’)and serve as the paternal parent in crosses.The genotypes of the MrFT2_BD-SEX marker were W-b/Z in‘Biqi’and W-d/Z in‘Dongkui-male’.The progeny of a cross between these parents produced a 3:1 female(W-)to male(ZZ)ratio and the expected 1:1:1:1 ratio of W-b/W-d:W-b/Z:W-d/Z:Z/Z.In addition,the flowering and fruiting phenotypes of all the F1 progeny fit their genotypes.Our results confirm the existence of ZW sex determination and show that the female phenotype is controlled by a single dominant locus(W)in a small genomic region(59 kb and less than 3.3 cM).Furthermore,we have produced a homozygous“super female”(WW)that should produce all-female offspring in the F2 generation,providing a foundation for commercial use and presenting great potential for use in modern breeding programs. | Yan Wang Hui-Min Jia Yu-Tong Shen Hai-Bo Zhao Qin-Song Yang Chang-Qing Zhu De-Li Sun Guo-Yun Wang Chao-Chao Zhou Yun Jiao Chun-Yan Chai Li-Ju Yan Xiong-Wei Li Hui-Juan Jia Zhong-Shan Gao | 2020 | Horticulture Research2020,7,1: | 10 |

| 15 | Relations Between Photosynthetic Parameters and Seed Yields of Adzuki Bean Cultivars (Vigna angularis)显示文摘The study comparatively examined the leaf photosynthetic capacities of different adzuki bean cultivars, high-yield 2000-75 and Jihong 9218, and low-yield Hongbao 1 and Wanxuan 1 from flowering to ripening. It showed that after flowering, the leaves of the cultivars gradually aged, the leaf chlorophyll (Chl.), soluble protein (SP) contents, net photosynthetic rates (P n ), transpiration rates (T r ) and stomatal conductance (G s ) of the cultivars tended to decline, but the leaf intercellular CO 2 concentration (C i ) of the cultivars tended to rise. The leaf photosynthetic capacities of the cultivars decreased gradually from the lower to the upper nodes. The dry seed yields of the cultivars were positively correlated with their leaf Chl., SP, P n, and T r and G s , and negatively associated with their leaf C i . At the late growth stages, the high-yield cultivars maintained higher leaf Chl. contents, SP contents, P n , T r , and G s than the low-yield cultivars, indicating that leaf photosynthetic capacity was one of important yield-affecting factors of adzuki bean. Therefore, it was important for a crop at the crucial stage of yield formation to maintain a high leaf chlorophyll content and a high leaf photosynthetic capacity and delay leaf aging. | SONG Hui GAO Jin-feng GAO Xiao-li DAI Hui-ping ZHANG Pan-an FENG Bai-li WANG Peng-ke CHAI Yan | 2012 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2012,11,9: | 7 |

| 17 | Development of A Real-Time PCR Assay for Plasmodiophora brassicae and Its Detection in Soil Samples显示文摘A SYBR Green I real-time PCR assay was developed to detect and quantify Plasmodiophora brassicae ribosomal DNA(rDNA) and internal transcribed spacer(ITS).A pair of primers PBF1/PBR1 was designed based on the conservative region of rDNA-ITS of P.brassicae.The positive plasmid pB12 was obtained and used as the template to create standard curve.The specificity,sensitivity,and reproducibility of real-time PCR were evaluated respectively.Naturally and artificially infested soil samples containing different concentrations of P.brassicae were detected.The results demonstrated that standard curve established by recombinant plasmid was shown a fine linear relationship between threshold cycle and template concentration.The melting curve was specific with the correlation coefficient of 0.995 and that the amplification efficiency was 93.8%.The detection limit of P.brassicae genomic DNA was approximately 40 copies per 25 μL.The sensitivity of the assay was at least 100-fold higher than conventional PCR.Only DNA from P.brassicae could be amplified and detected using this assay,suggesting the highly specific of this assay.The coefficient of variation was less than 3%,indicating the PCR method revealed high reproducibility.The detection limit in soil samples corresponded to 1 000 resting spores g-1soil.Bait plants were used to validate the real-time PCR assay.This developed real-time PCR assay allows for fast and sensitive detection of P.brassicae in soil and should be useful in disease management and pest interception so as to prevent further spread of P.brassicae. | LI Jin-ping LI Yan SHI Yan-xia XIE Xue-wen Chai A-li LI Bao-ju | 2013 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2013,12,10: | 7 |
| 18 | Construction of heparin-based hydrogel incorporated with Cu_(5.4)O ultrasmall nanozymes for wound healing and inflammation inhibition显示文摘Excessive production of inflammatory chemokines and reactive oxygen species(ROS)can cause a feedback cycle of inflammation response that has a negative effect on cutaneous wound healing.The use of wound-dressing materials that simultaneously absorb chemokines and scavenge ROS constitutes a novel‘weeding and uprooting’treatment strategy for inflammatory conditions.In the present study,a composite hydrogel comprising an amine-functionalized star-shaped polyethylene glycol(starPEG)and heparin for chemokine sequestration as well as Cu_(5.4)O ultrasmall nanozymes for ROS scavenging(Cu_(5.4)O@Hep-PEG)was developed.The material effectively adsorbs the inflammatory chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and interleukin-8,decreasing the migratory activity of macrophages and neutrophils.Furthermore,it scavenges the ROS in wound fluids to mitigate oxidative stress,and the sustained release of Cu_(5.4)O promotes angiogenesis.In acute wounds and impaired-healing wounds(diabetic wounds),Cu_(5.4)O@Hep-PEG hydrogels outperform the standard-of-care product Promogram®in terms of inflammation reduction,increased epidermis regeneration,vascularization,and wound closure. | Yuan Peng Danfeng He Xin Ge Yifei Lu Yuanhao Chai Yixin Zhang Zhengwei Mao Gaoxing Luo Jun Deng Yan Zhang | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021,6,10: | 7 |
| 19 | Formation and causes of NO_x pollution on the east side of the Taihang Mountains in China显示文摘Tropospheric column amounts of NO 2 from OMI/Aura products were applied to investigate the seasonal variation of NO x on the east side of the Taihang Mountains (ESTM) in China. The NO 2 concentration varied seasonally, with winter maxima and summer minima. To explore the causes of the heavy NO 2 pollution in this region, wind field simulations were conducted by using the Fifth-Generation NCAR/Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5). MM5 simulations showed that wind directions in the ESTM region were dominated by northeasterly and northwesterly winds throughout the year and to a lesser degree by southwesterlies. Elevated NO 2 concentrations (higher than 50×10 15 molec/cm 2 ) occurred in three meteorological situations: convergent wind fields (5 days), northeasterly winds (2 days), and calm days (1 day) in January. Although the local anthropogenic NO x emission strength was not so high as that in other developed areas, the calms and frequent occurrence of convergent wind fields, as well as unfavorable terrains for diffusion, resulted in the accumulation of atmospheric pollutants and hence heavy NO x pollution. Furthermore, long-distance NO x transportation from the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region to the ESTM area could be seen when the wind was from a northeasterly direction, especially under high wind speeds. | TIAN HeZhong WANG Yan ZHAO Dan CHAI FaHe XING ZiShan CHENG Ke | 2011 | Chinese Science Bulletin2011,56,19: | 6 |
| 20 | Ivor Lewis subtotal esophagectomy with two-field lymphadenectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the lower thoracic esophagus显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the clinical outcome of Ivor Lewis subtotal esophagectomy with two-field lymphadenectomy for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lower thoracic esophagus. METHODS: From January 1998 to December 2001, 73 patients with lower thoracic esophageal carcinoma underwent Ivor-Lewis subtotal esophagectomy with two-field lymphadenectomy. Clinicopathological information, postoperative complications, mortality and long term survival of all these patients were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The operative morbidity and mortality was 15.1% and the mortality was 2.7%. Lymph node metastases were found in 52 patients (71.2%). Nodal metastases to the upper, middle, lower mediastini and upper abdomen were found in 13 (17.8%), 15 (20.5%), 30 (41.1%), and 25 (34.2%) patients, respectively. Postoperative staging was as follows: stageⅠin 5 patients, stage Ⅱ in 34 patients, stage Ⅲ in 32 patients, and stage Ⅳ in 2 patients, respectively. The overall 5-year survival rate was 23.3%. For N0 and N1 patients, the 5-year survival rate was 38.1% and 17.3%, respectively (χ2 = 22.65, P < 0.01). The 5-year survival rate for patients in stages Ⅱa, Ⅱb and Ⅲ was 31.2%, 27.8% and 12.5%, repsectively (χ2 = 29.18, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Ivor Lewis subtotal esophagectomywith two-field (total mediastinum) lymphadenectomy is a safe and appropriate operation for squamous cell carcinoma of the lower thoracic esophagus. | Jie Wu Ying Chai Xing-Ming Zhou Qi-Xun Chen Fu-Lai Yan | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,32: | 6 |
