| 2 | Apoptosis of human pancreatic cancer cells induced by Triptolide显示文摘AIM: To investigate apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cells induced by Triptolide (TL), and the relationship between this apoptosis and expression of caspase-3' bcl-2 and bax. METHODS: Human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 was cultured in DMEM media for this study. MTT assay was used to determine the cell growth inhibitory rate in vitro. Flow cytometry and TUNEL assay were used to detect the apoptosis of human pancreatic cancer cells before and after TL treatment. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-associated gene caspase-3' bcl-2 and bax. RESULTS: TL inhibited the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner. TL induced human pancreatic cancer cells to undergo apoptosis with typically apoptotic characteristics. TUNEL assay showed that after the treatment of human pancreatic cancer cells with 40 ng/mL TL for 12 h and 24 h, the apoptotic rates of human pancreatic cancer cells increased significantly. RT-PCR demonstrated that caspase-3 and bax were significantly up-regulated in SW1990 cells treated with TL while bcl-2 mRNA was not. CONCLUSION: TL is able to induce the apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cells. This apoptosis may be mediated by up-regulating the expression of apoptosis- associated caspase-3 and bax gene. | Guo-Xiong Zhou Xiao-Ling Ding Jie-Fei Huang Hong Zhang Sheng-Bao Wu Jian-Ping Cheng Qun Wei | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,10: | 22 |
| 3 | Isolated Cases of Plague--Inner Mongolia-Beijing, 2019显示文摘What is already known about this topic?Plague is an acute infectious disease caused by Yersinia pestis(Y.pestis)and is primarily transmitted by rodents.Human can be infected by bites of bacterium-bearing fleas or direct contact with diseased or dead plagueinfected animals.In 2004,the last human plague case was reported in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region due to skinning a dead hare.What is added by this report?This is the first case of pneumonic plague imported into a major city since the founding of the People's Republic of China.Two primary pneumonic plague cases(Patients A and B)found in residents of Inner Mongolia were confirmed in Beijing on November 12,2019.Another case(Patient C)of Y.pestis was identified as bubonic plague on November 14.Patient A most likely became infected from aerosol exposure to infective droplets while digging on his farm,located in an Meriones unguiculatus(M.unguiculatus)natural plague focus.Patient B became infected from contact with Patient A(her husband).Patient C became infected after skinning a dead hare.There was no epidemiological relationship between the Patient A/B and Patient C.What are the implications for public health practice?When epizootic plague is detected,local health-care providers and the public should be alerted about any possible risks.Public education efforts should focus on promoting personal protection measures. | Yumeng Wang Lei Zhou Mengguang Fan Quanyi Wang Jianyun Li Qun Li Zijian Feng George FGao Cheng Xu Lijuan Chen Wei Li Yanping Zhang | 2019 | China CDC weekly2019,1,1: | 13 |
| 4 | Effect of Protein Kinase C on Proliferation and Apoptosis of T Lymphocytes in Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Children显示文摘It is well-documented that T lymphocyte proliferation and apoptosis are abnormal in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) children. However, the underlying regulation mechanisms especially in terms of signal transduction remain unknown. In this paper, we reported the changes of protein kinase C (PKC) activity in peripheral blood T lymphocytes and the effect of PKC on T lymphocyte proliferation and apoptosis. We demonstrated that in ITP children, the activator (PMA) and inhibitor (H-7) of PKC affected on T lymphocyte proliferation and apoptosis dramatically, but they altered little in healthy children. PKC activity was significantly enhanced in ITP children together with an increased expression of FasL on CD3+ T, CD4+ T and CD8+T cells, resulting in a positive correlation between PKC activity and the expression of FasL on T cells. While the PKC activity and the platelet count were negatively correlated. Taken together, our findings suggest that the PKC activation may enhance T lymphocytes activity, suppress T cell apoptosis and be involve in thrombocytes damage as a mechanism related to immune pathogenesis of ITP. | Changlin Wu~(1,2) Fang Liu~1 Xuemin Zhou~1 Zhengwei Cheng~1 Xiaomeng Yang~1 Hong Xiao~1 Qun Chen~1 Kangrong Cai~1 ~1Department of Microbiology and Immunology,Guangdong Medical College,Zhanjiang,Guangdong,524023,China ~2Corresponding to:Dr.Changlin Wu,Department of Microbiology and Immunology,Guangdong Medical College,2 Wen-Ming East Road,Zhanjiang,Guangdong,524023,China. | 2005 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2005,2,3: | 12 |
| 5 | SIDT1-dependent absorption in the stomach mediates host uptake of dietary and orally administered microRNAs显示文摘Dietary microRNAs have been shown to be absorbed by mammals and regulate host gene expression,but the absorption mechanism remains unknown.Here,we show that SIDT1 expressed on gastric pit cells in the stomach is required for the absorption of dietary microRNAs.SIDT1-deficient mice show reduced basal levels and impaired dynamic absorption of dietary microRNAs.Notably,we identified the stomach as the primary site for dietary microRNA absorption,which is dramatically attenuated in the stomachs of SIDT1-deficient mice.Mechanistic analyses revealed that the uptake of exogenous microRNAs by gastric pit cells is SIDT1 and low-pH dependent.Furthermore,oral administration of plant-derived miR2911 retards liver fibrosis,and this protective effect was abolished in SIDT1-deficient mice.Our findings reveal a major mechanism underlying the absorption of dietary microRNAs,uncover an unexpected role of the stomach and shed light on developing small RNA therapeutics by oral delivery. | Qun Chen Fan Zhang Lei Dong Huimin Wu Jie Xu Hanqin Li Jin Wang Zhen Zhou Chunyan Liu Yanbo Wang Yuyan Liu Liangsheng Lu Chen Wang Minghui Liu Xi Chen Cheng Wang Chunni Zhang Dangsheng Li Ke Zen Fangyu Wang Qipeng Zhang Chen-Yu Zhang | 2021 | Cell Research2021,31,3: | 10 |
| 6 | Prognostic values of the integrated model incorporating the volume of metastatic regional cervical lymph node and pretreatment serum Epstein-Barr virus DNA copy number in predicting distant metastasis in patients with N1 nasopharyngeal carcinoma显示文摘Background: According to the 7 th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC) staging system, over50% of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) have N1 disease at initial diagnosis. However, patients with N1 NPC are relatively under-researched, and the metastasis risk of this group is not well-stratified. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic values of gross tumor volume of metastatic regional lymph node(GTVnd) and pretreatment serum copy number of Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) DNA in predicting distant metastasis of patients with N1 NPC, and to develop an integrated prognostic model that incorporates GTVnd and EBV DNA copy number for this group of patients.Methods: The medical records of 787 newly diagnosed patients with nonmetastatic, histologically proven N1 NPC who were treated at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between November 2009 and February 2012 were analyzed. Computed tomography-derived GTVnd was measured using the summation-of-area technique. Blood samples were collected before treatment to quantify plasma EBV DNA. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the cut-off point for GTVnd, and the area under the ROC curve was used to assess the predicted validity of GTVnd. The survival rates were assessed by Kaplan-Meier analysis, and the survival curves were compared using a log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Cox proportional hazard regression model.Results: The 5-year distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS) rates for patients with GTVnd > 18.9 vs.≤ 18.9 mL were82.2% vs. 93.2%(P < 0.001), and for patients with EBV DNA copy number > 4000 vs. < 4000 copies/mL were 83.5% vs.93.9%(P < 0.001). After adjusting for GTVnd, EBV DNA copy number, and T category in the Cox regression model, both GTVnd > 18.9 mL and EBV DNA copy number > 4000 copies/mL were significantly associated with poor prognosis(both P < 0.05). According to combination of GTVnd and EBV DNA copy number, all patients were divided into low-,moderate-, and high-risk groups, with the 5-year DMFS rates of 96.1,87.4, and 73.8%, respectively(P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed the prognostic value of this model for distant metastatic risk stratification(hazard ratio [HR],4.17; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.34-7.59; P < 0.001).Conclusions: GTVnd and serum EBV DNA copy number are independent prognostic factors for predicting distant metastasis in NPC patients with N1 disease. The prognostic model incorporating GTVnd and EBV DNA copy number may improve metastatic risk stratification for this group of patients. | Ji‑Jin Yao Guan‑Qun Zhou Ya‑Qin Wang Si‑Yang Wang Wang‑Jian Zhang Ya‑Nan Jin Fan Zhang Li Li Li‑Zhi Liu Zhi‑Bin Cheng Jun Ma Zhen‑Yu Qi | 2017 | Chinese Journal of Cancer2017,36,12: | 9 |
| 7 | Soybean AP1 homologs control flowering time and plant height显示文摘Flowering time and plant height are key agronomic traits that directly affect soybean(Glycine max)yield.APETALA1(AP1)functions as a class A gene in the ABCE model for floral organ development,helping to specify carpel,stamen,petal,and sepal identities.There are four AP1 homologs in soybean,all of which are mainly expressed in the shoot apex.Here,we used clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)–CRISPR-associated protein 9 technology to generate a homozygous quadruple mutant,gmap1,with loss-of-function mutations in all four GmAP1 genes.Under short-day(SD)conditions,the gmap1 quadruple mutant exhibited delayed flowering,changes in flower morphology,and increased node number and internode length,resulting in plants that were taller than the wild type.Conversely,overexpression of GmAP1a resulted in early flowering and reduced plant height compared to the wild type under SD conditions.The gmap1 mutant and the overexpression lines also exhibited altered expression of several genes related to flowering and gibberellic acid metabolism,thereby providing insight into the role of GmAP1 in the regulatory networks controlling flowering time and plant height in soybean.Increased node number is the trait with the most promise for enhancing soybean pod number and grain yield.Therefore,the mutant alleles of the four AP1 homologs described here will be invaluable for molecular breeding of improved soybean yield. | Liyu Chen Haiyang Nan Lingping Kong Lin Yue Hui Yang Qingsong Zhao Chao Fang Haiyang Li Qun Cheng Sijia Lu Fanjiang Kong Baohui Liu Lidong Dong | 2020 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2020,62,12: | 9 |
| 8 | Modified joint probabilistic data association with classification-aided for multitarget tracking显示文摘Joint probabilistic data association is an effective method for tracking multiple targets in clutter, but only the target kinematic information is used in measure-to-track association. If the kinematic likelihoods are similar for different closely spaced targets, there is ambiguity in using the kinematic information alone; the cor-rect association probability will decrease in conventional joint probabilistic data association algorithm and track coalescence will occur easily. A modified algorithm of joint probabilistic data association with classification-aided is presented, which avoids track coalescence when tracking multiple neighboring targets. Firstly, an identification matrix is defined, which is used to simplify validation matrix to decrease computational complexity. Then, target class information is integrated into the data association process. Performance comparisons with and without the use of class information in JPDA are presented on multiple closely spaced maneuvering targets tracking problem. Simulation results quantify the benefits of classification-aided JPDA for improved multiple targets tracking, espe-cially in the presence of association uncertainty in the kinematic measurement and target maneuvering. Simulation results indicate that the algorithm is valid. | Ba Hongxin Cao Lei He Xinyi Cheng Qun | 2008 | Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics2008,19,3: | 8 |
| 9 | Seasonal bioconcentration of heavy metals in Onchidium struma(Gastropoda:Pulmonata)from Chongming Island,the Yangtze Estuary,China显示文摘The seasonal concentration changes of selected heavy metal Cd,Cr,Cu,Fe,Mn,Pb,and Zn in five tissues of marine gastropod Onchidium struma were studied in the Chongming Island,the Yangtze Estuary in April 2007,July 2006,September 2006,and November 2006,respectively.The results demonstrated that the bioconcentration factor of Cu(biomass/water) in all selected tissues was about 104 magnitudes,Fe and Cd were 103,Zn was 102,and Mn,Pb,and Cr were 101.Hepatopancreas was proven to be the dominant storage tissue of Cr,Cu,Mn,and Zn,whereas Fe and Pb were mainly stored in muscle and digenetic gland,and Cd was stored in vitelline gland and albumen gland.Additionally,it was found that Cu,Fe,Mn,and Zn were concentrated significantly by O.struma(whole-body) in summer or autumn,and Cd,Cr,and Pb increased slightly in spring and winter.Furthermore,the bioconcentration of Cr was nearly 2-fold higher and Zn was 1.6-fold higher in the water compared with the Water Quality Standard for Fisheries.With view of excessive amount of Pb,Cd,and Cu according to seafood standard,the consumption of O.struma might have the risk of health hazard. | LI Xiaobo JIA Linzhi ZHAO Yunlong WANG Qun CHENG Yongxu | 2009 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2009,21,2: | 7 |
| 10 | A 12R long-period stacking-ordered structure in a Mg-Ni-Y alloy显示文摘A hitherto unreported long-period stacking-ordered(LPSO) phase, designated 12 R, was observed in a Mg_(80)Ni_5Y_(15)(at.%) alloy. Microstructure was investigated by electron diffraction and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the 12 R has a trigonal lattice(a = b = 1.112 nm, c = 3.126 nm, α = β = 90°, and γ = 120°). Unit cell of the 12 R is consisted of three ABCAtype building blocks and each building block contains dominant Ni_6 Y_8-type building clusters. A sound structural model is proposed based on relative positions of Ni_6 Y_8 clusters in neighboring building blocks. | Cheng Liu Yuman Zhu Qun Luo Bin Liu Qinfen Gu Qian Li | 2018 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2018,34,12: | 7 |

| 13 | Metabolite changes in the ipsilateral and contralateral cerebral hemispheres in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion显示文摘Cerebral ischemia not only causes pathological changes in the ischemic areas but also induces a series of secondary changes in more distal brain regions(such as the contralateral cerebral hemisphere). The impact of supratentorial lesions, which are the most common type of lesion, on the contralateral cerebellum has been studied in patients by positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging. In the present study, we investigated metabolite changes in the contralateral cerebral hemisphere after supratentorial unilateral ischemia using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based metabonomics. The permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion model of ischemic stroke was established in rats. Rats were randomly divided into the middle cerebral artery occlusion 1-, 3-, 9-and 24-hour groups and the sham group. ~1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to detect metabolites in the left and right cerebral hemispheres. Compared with the sham group, the concentrations of lactate, alanine, γ-aminobutyric acid, choline and glycine in the ischemic cerebral hemisphere were increased in the acute stage, while the concentrations of N-acetyl aspartate, creatinine, glutamate and aspartate were decreased. This demonstrates that there is an upregulation of anaerobic glycolysis(shown by the increase in lactate), a perturbation of choline metabolism(suggested by the increase in choline), neuronal cell damage(shown by the decrease in N-acetyl aspartate) and neurotransmitter imbalance(evidenced by the increase in γ-aminobutyric acid and glycine and by the decrease in glutamate and aspartate) in the acute stage of cerebral ischemia. In the contralateral hemisphere, the concentrations of lactate, alanine, glycine, choline and aspartate were increased, while the concentrations of γ-aminobutyric acid, glutamate and creatinine were decreased. This suggests that there is a difference in the metabolite changes induced by ischemic injury in the contralateral and ipsilateral cerebral hemispheres. Our findings demonstrate the presence of characteristic changes in metabolites in the contralateral hemisphere and suggest that they are most likely caused by metabolic changes in the ischemic hemisphere. | Lei Ruan Yan Wang Shu-chao Chen Tian Zhao Qun Huang Zi-long Hu Neng-zhi Xia Jin-jin Liu Wei-jian Chen Yong Zhang Jing-liang Cheng Hong-chang Gao Yun-jun Yang Hou-zhang Sun | 2017 | Neural Regeneration Research2017,12,6: | 6 |
| 14 | Parallel selection of distinct Tof5 alleles drove the adaptation of cultivated and wild soybean to high latitudes显示文摘Photoperiod responsiveness is a key factor limiting the geographic distribution of cultivated soybean and its wild ancestor.In particular,the genetic basis of the adaptation in wild soybean remains poorly understood.In this study,by combining whole-genome resequencing and genome-wide association studies we identified a novel locus,Time of Flowering 5(Tof5),which promotes flowering and enhances adaptation to high latitudes in both wild and cultivated soybean.By genomic,genetic and transgenic analyses we showed that Tof5 en-codes a homolog of Arabidopsis thaliana FRUITFULL(FUL).Importantly,further analyses suggested that different alleles of Tof5 have undergone parallel selection.The Tof5H1 allele was strongly selected by humans after the early domestication of cultivated soybean,while Tof5H2 allele was naturally selected in wild soybean,and in each case facilitating adaptation to high latitudes.Moreover,we found that the key flowering repressor E1 suppresses the transcription of Tof5 by binding to its promoter.In turn,Tof5 physically associates with the promoters of two important FLOWERING LOCUS T(FT),FT2a and FT5a,to upregulate their transcription and promote flowering under long photoperiods.Collectively,ourfindings provide insights into how wild soybean adapted to high latitudes through natural selection and indicate that cultivated soybean underwent changes in the same gene but evolved a distinct allele that was artificially selected after domestication. | Lidong Dong Qun Cheng Chao Fang Lingping Kong Hui Yang Zhihong Hou Yongli Li Haiyang Nan Yuhang Zhang Qingshan Chen Chunbao Zhang Kun Kou Tong Su Lingshuang Wang Shichen Li Haiyang Li Xiaoya Lin Yang Tang Xiaohui Zhao Sijia Lu Baohui Liu Fanjiang Kong | 2022 | Molecular Plant2022,15,2: | 5 |
| 15 | Polarization and Apoptosis of T Cell Subsets in Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura显示文摘It is well-known that idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an acquired organ-specific autoimmune hemorrhagic disease and dysfunctional cellular immunity is considered important in the pathophysiology of ITP. However, polarization patterns and apoptosis profiles of T lymphocytes remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the polarization of T cell subsets, the expressions of apoptotic proteins Fas/FasL on the subsets and the level of anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 and bax mRNA. It was demonstrated that the ratios of Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 in ITP children were increased obviously and that the average percentages were increased clearly for Th1 and Th2,but not for Tc1 and Tc2. In ITP children, the enhancing expressions were detected for FasL on Th1 and Tc1 and for Fas on Th2 and Tc2. With increasing level of bcl-2 mRNA and decreasing expression of bax mRNA in ITP children, the ratio of bcl-2/bax mRNA was improved obviously, which was positive correlated with the ratio of Th1/Th2. Taken together, our findings indicate that ITP is a Th1 predominant disease. This polarization pattern of T cell subsets might be related to the high ratio of bcl-2/bax mRNA and the abnormal expressions of Fas and FasL on T cell subsets.

| 17 | Design and test of 2ZYM-2 potted vegetable seedlings transplanting machine显示文摘In order to improve the efficiency and quality of transplanting vegetables in dry land,based on the seedling technology,transplanting effect and analysis of the planting process,a potted vegetable seedlings transplanting machine was designed.It mainly comprised rotary disc type feeding mechanism,five-bar duckbill type planting mechanism(simulated duckbill mechanism,disc cam,connecting rod,crank,fork,cable)and power transmission system.Based on the physical parameters of the seedlings and design requirements,it was determined that the diameter of the duckbill was D=90 mm,the opening and closing angle was 25°,and the taper angle was 17°.A test bench with adjustable parameters was built by analyzing the structure of the planting mechanism and the motion of the working process.The digital speckle technique was used to optimize the parameters,so that the length of the crankshaftΙwas S1=100 mm,the length of the crankshaftΙΙwas S2=80 mm,the length of the connecting rodΙwas S3=140 mm,the length of the connecting rodΙΙwas S4=260 mm,the length of rod to connecting the rack was S6=314 mm,and the height of planting track was H=450 mm.According to the above parameters and the control requirements of the duckbill mechanism,the cam stroke was determined to be S=15 mm.And the initial phase difference between the two cams was 180°.The experiment was carried out with pepper seedlings as transplanting objects.The results showed that when the planting frequency was 50-70 plants/min,the seedling upright rate was 93%-91.1%,the planting depth qualified rate was 96%-92%.The leakage rate was 0-0.26%,the variation coefficient of plant spacing was 0.37%-0.67%,the injury rate was 0%,and the mechanical damage degree of the mining surface was 2.43-3.77 mm/m2.The machine can effectively improve the quality of transplanting,which can meet the production needs and design requirements of the mechanism. | Xin Jin Qun Cheng Bo Zhao Jiangtao Ji Mingyong Li | 2020 | International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering2020,13,1: | 4 |
| 18 | The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor TabHLH1 increases chlorogenic acid and luteolin biosynthesis in Taraxacum antungense Kitag显示文摘Polyphenols are the main active components of the anti-inflammatory compounds in dandelion,and chlorogenic acid(CGA)is one of the primary polyphenols.However,the molecular mechanism underlying the transcriptional regulation of CGA biosynthesis remains unclear.Hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:quinate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase(HQT2)is the last rate-limiting enzyme in chlorogenic acid biosynthesis in Taraxacum antungense.Therefore,using the TaHQT2 gene promoter as a probe,a yeast one-hybrid library was performed,and a basic helix-loop-helix(bHLH)transcription factor,TabHLH1,was identified that shared substantial homology with Gynura bicolor DC bHLH1.The TabHLH1 transcript was highly induced by salt stress,and the TabHLH1 protein was localized in the nucleus.CGA and luteolin concentrations in TabHLH1-overexpression transgenic lines were significantly higher than those in the wild type,while CGA and luteolin concentrations in TabHLH1-RNA interference(RNAi)transgenic lines were significantly lower.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction demonstrated that overexpression and RNAi of TabHLH1 in T.antungense significantly affected CGA and luteolin concentrations by upregulating or downregulating CGA and luteolin biosynthesis pathway genes,especially TaHQT2,4-coumarate-CoA ligase(Ta4CL),chalcone isomerase(TaCHI),and flavonoid-3′-hydroxylase(TaF3′H).Dual-luciferase,yeast one-hybrid,and electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicated that TabHLH1 directly bound to the bHLH-binding motifs of proTaHQT2 and proTa4CL.This study suggests that TabHLH1 participates in the regulatory network of CGA and luteolin biosynthesis in T.antungense and might be useful for metabolic engineering to promote plant polyphenol biosynthesis. | Qun Liu Li Li Haitao Cheng Lixiang Yao Jie Wu Hui Huang Wei Ning Guoyin Kai | 2021 | Horticulture Research2021,8,1: | 4 |
| 19 | Frequency-modulated continuous waves controlled by space-time-coding metasurface with nonlinearly periodic phases显示文摘The rapid development of space-time-coding metasurfaces(STCMs)offers a new avenue to manipulate spatial electromagnetic beams,waveforms,and frequency spectra simultaneously with high efficiency.To date,most studies are primarily focused on harmonic generations and independent controls of finite-order harmonics and their spatial waves,but the manipulations of continuously temporal waveforms that include much rich frequency spectral components are still limited in both theory and experiment based on STCM.Here,we propose a theoretical framework and method to generate frequency-modulated continuous waves(FMCWs)and control their spatial propagation behaviors simultaneously via a novel STCM with nonlinearly periodic phases.Since the carrier frequency of FMCW changes with time rapidly,we can produce customized time-varying reflection phases at will by the required FMCW under the illumination of a monochromatic wave.More importantly,the propagation directions of the time-varying beams can be controlled by encoding the metasurface with different initial phase gradients.A programmable STCM prototype with a full-phase range is designed and fabricated to realize reprogrammable FMCW functions,and experimental results show good agreement with the theoretical analyses. | Jun Chen Ke Jun Yan Dai Jun Wei Zhang Zhanye Chen Ming Zheng Chen Yunfeng Lu Lei Zhang Li Wang Qun Yan Zhou Long Li Jin Shan Ding Qiang Cheng Tie Jun Cui | 2022 | Light(Science & Applications)2022,11,10: | 4 |
