| 1 | Genome-wide Expansion and Expression Divergence of the Basic Leucine Zipper Transcription Factors in Higher Plants with an Emphasis on Sorghum显示文摘Plant bZIP transcription factors play crucial roles in multiple biological processes.However,little is known about the sorghum bZIP gene family although the sorghum genome has been completely sequenced.In this study,we have carried out a genome-wide identification and characterization of this gene family in sorghum.Our data show that the genome encodes at least 92 bZIP transcription factors.These bZIP genes have been expanded mainly by segmental duplication.Such an expansion mechanism has also been observed in rice,arabidopsis and many other plant organisms,suggesting a common expansion mode of this gene family in plants.Further investigation shows that most of the bZIP members have been present in the most recent common ancestor of sorghum and rice and the major expansion would occur before the sorghum-rice split era.Although these bZIP genes have been duplicated with a long history,they exhibited limited functional divergence as shown by nonsynonymous substitutions (Ka)/synonymous substitutions (Ks) analyses.Their retention was mainly due to the high percentages of expression divergence.Our data also showed that this gene family might play a role in multiple developmental stages and tissues and might be regarded as important regulators of various abiotic stresses and sugar signaling. | Jizhou Wang Junxia Zhou Baolan Zhang Jeevanandam Vanitha Srinivasan Ramachandran Shu-Ye Jiang | 2011 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2011，53，3： | 41 |

| 4 | Effects of soil water and nitrogen availability on photosynthesis and water use efficiency of Robinia pseudoacacia seedlings显示文摘The efficient use of water and nitrogen (N) to promote growth and increase yield of fruit trees and crops is well studied.However,little is known about their effects on woody plants growing in arid and semiarid areas with limited water and N availability.To examine the effects of water and N supply on early growth and water use efficiency (WUE) of trees on dry soils,one-year-old seedlings of Robinia pseudoacacia were exposed to three soil water contents (non-limiting,medium drought,and severe drought) as well as to low and high N levels,for four months.Photosynthetic parameters,leaf instantaneous WUE (WUEi) and whole tree WUE (WUEb) were determined.Results showed that,independent of N levels,increasing soil water content enhanced the tree transpiration rate (Tr),stomatal conductance (Gs),intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci),maximum net assimilation rate (Amax),apparent quantum yield (AQY),the range of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) due to both reduced light compensation point and enhanced light saturation point,and dark respiration rate (Rd),resulting in a higher net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and a significantly increased whole tree biomass.Consequently,WUEi and WUEb were reduced at low N,whereas WUE i was enhanced at high N levels.Irrespective of soil water availability,N supply enhanced Pn in association with an increase of Gs and Ci and a decrease of the stomatal limitation value (Ls),while Tr remained unchanged.Biomass and WUEi increased under non-limiting water conditions and medium drought,as well as WUEb under all water conditions;but under severe drought,WUEi and biomass were not affected by N application.In conclusion,increasing soil water availability improves photosynthetic capacity and biomass accumulation under low and high N levels,but its effects on WUE vary with soil N levels.N supply increased Pn and WUE,but under severe drought,N supply did not enhance WUEi and biomass. | Xiping Liu Yangyang Fan Junxia Long Ruifeng Wei Roger Kjelgren Chunmei Gong Jun Zhao | 2013 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2013，25，3： | 15 |
| 5 | Potassium Channels: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Parkinson's Disease显示文摘The pathogenesis of the second major neurodegenerative disorder, Parkinson's disease(PD), is closely associated with the dysfunction of potassium(K^+ ) channels. Therefore, PD is also considered to be an ion channel disease or neuronal channelopathy. Mounting evidence has shown that K^+ channels play crucial roles in the regulations of neurotransmitter release, neuronal excitability, and cell volume. Inhibition of K^+ channels enhances the spontaneous firing frequency of nigral dopamine(DA)neurons, induces a transition from tonic firing to burst discharge, and promotes the release of DA in the striatum.Recently, three K^+ channels have been identified to protect DA neurons and to improve the motor and non-motor symptoms in PD animal models: small conductance(SK)channels, A-type K^+ channels, and KV7/KCNQ channels.In this review, we summarize the physiological and pharmacological effects of the three K^+ channels. We also describe in detail the laboratory investigations regarding K^+ channels as a potential therapeutic target for PD. | Xiaoyan Chen Bao Xue Jun Wang Haixia Liu Limin Shi Junxia Xie | 2018 | Neuroscience Bulletin2018，34，2： | 13 |
| 6 | Comorbid Chronic Diseases and Acute Organ Injuries Are Strongly Correlated with Disease Severity and Mortality among COVID-19 Patients: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis显示文摘The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has been rapidly spreading on a global scale.To date,there is no specific vaccine against the causative virus,SARS-CoV-2,nor is there an effective medicine for treating COVID-19,thus raising concerns with respect to the effect of risk factors such as clinical course and pathophysiological parameters on disease severity and outcome in patients with COVID-19.By extracting and analyzing all available published clinical data,we identified several major clinical characteristics associated with increased disease severity and mortality among patients with COVID-19.Specifically,preexisting chronic conditions such as hypertension,cardiovascular disease,chronic kidney disease,and diabetes are strongly associated with an increased risk of developing severe COVID-19;surprisingly,however,we found no correlation between chronic liver disease and increased disease severity.In addition,we found that both acute cardiac injury and acute kidney injury are highly correlated with an increased risk of COVID-19-related mortality.Given the high risk of comorbidity and the high mortality rate associated with tissue damage,organ function should be monitored closely in patients diagnosed with COVID-19,and this approach should be included when establishing new guidelines for managing these high-risk patients.Moreover,additional clinical data are needed in order to determine whether a supportive therapy can help mitigate the development of severe,potentially fatal complications,and further studies are needed to identify the pathophysiology and the mechanism underlying this novel coronavirus-associated infectious disease.Taken together,these findings provide new insights regarding clinical strategies for improving the management and outcome of patients with COVID-19. | Xinhui Wang Xuexian Fang Zhaoxian Cai Xiaotian Wu Xiaotong Gao Junxia Min Fudi Wang | 2020 | Research2020，，1： | 13 |
| 7 | Iron, Dopamine, and α-Synuclein Interactions in at-Risk Dopaminergic Neurons in Parkinson's Disease显示文摘Parkinson's disease (PD) is recognized as the second mostcommon neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer dis-ease. Although a fascinating 200-year journey of researchhas revealed the multifaceted nature of PD [1, 2], itsfundamental features are the loss of dopaminergic neuronsin the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and depletionof dopamine (DA) in the striatum. | Ning Song Junxia Xie | 2018 | Neuroscience Bulletin2018，34，2： | 12 |
| 8 | A virtual experiment showing single particle motion on a linearly vibrating screen-deck显示文摘A virtual sieving experimental simulation system was built using physical simulation principles.The effects of vibration frequency and amplitude,the inclination angle of the screen-deck and the vibration direction angle of screen on single particle kinematics were predicted.Properties such as the average velocity and the average throw height were studied.The results show that the amplitude and the angle of vibration have a great effect on particle average velocity and average height.The vibration frequency and the screen-deck inclination angle appear to have little influence on these responses.For materials that are difficult to screen the vibration frequency and amplitude,the screen-deck inclination angle and the vibration angle should be set to 14 Hz,6.6 mm,6° and 40°,respectively,to obtain optimal particle kinematics.A screening process can be simulated reliably by means of a virtual experiment and these results provide references for both screening theory research and sieving practice. | ZHAO, Lala LIU, Chusheng YAN, Junxia | 2010 | Mining Science and Technology2010，20，2： | 11 |
| 9 | Copper homeostasis and cuproptosis in health and disease显示文摘all cell types.Because the accumulation of intracellular copper can induce oxidative stress and perturbing cellular function,copper homeostasis is tightly regulated.Recent studies identified a novel copper-dependent form of cell death called cuproptosis,which is distinct from all other known pathways underlying cell death.Cuproptosis occurs via copper binding to lipoylated enzymes in the tricarboxylic acid(TCA)cycle,which leads to subsequent protein aggregation,proteotoxic stress,and ultimately cell death.Here,we summarize our current knowledge regarding copper metabolism,copper-related disease,the characteristics of cuproptosis,and the mechanisms that regulate cuproptosis.In addition,we discuss the implications of cuproptosis in the pathogenesis of various disease conditions,including Wilson’s disease,neurodegenerative diseases,and cancer,and we discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting cuproptosis. | Liyun Chen Junxia Min Fudi Wang | 2022 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2022，7，12： | 10 |
| 10 | Neuroprotective Effects of Brain-Gut Peptides: A Potential Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease显示文摘Parkinson's disease(PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and is typically associated with progressive motor and non-motor dysfunctions.Currently, dopamine replacement therapy is mainly used to relieve the motor symptoms, while its long-term application can lead to various complications and does not cure the disease. Numerous studies have demonstrated that many brain-gut peptides have neuroprotective effects in vivo and in vitro, and may be a promising treatment for PD. In recent years, some progress has been made in studies on the neuroprotective effects of some newly-discovered braingut peptides, such as glucagon-like peptide 1, pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide, nesfatin-1, and ghrelin. However, there is still no systematic review on the neuroprotective effects common to these peptides. Thus,here we review the neuroprotective effects and the associated mechanisms of these four peptides, as well as other brain-gut peptides related to PD, in the hope of providing new ideas for the treatment of PD and related clinical research. | Dong Dong Junxia Xie Jun Wang | 2019 | Neuroscience Bulletin2019，35，6： | 9 |
| 11 | Numerical simulation of mould filling process for pressure plate and valve handle in LFC显示文摘In lost foam casting (LFC), the distribution of polymer beads during the bead filling process is not uniform, and the collision between polymer beads determines the distribution of two-phase flow of gas and solid. The interaction between the gas and solid phases reveals as coupling effect of the force that gas exerts on particles or vice versa, or that among particles. The gas-solid flow in filling process is nonlinearity, which makes the coupling effect an essential point to carry out a simulation properly. Therefore, information of each particle's motion is important for acquiring the law of filling process. In bead filling process, compressed air is pressed into mold cavity, and discharged from gas vent, creating a pressure difference between outer and inner space near the gas vent. This pressure difference directly changes the spatial distribution and motion trace of gas and solid phases. In this paper, Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are employed to simulate the fluid dynamic character based on Newton's Third Law of Motion. The simulation results of some casting products such as pressure plate and valve handle are compared with the result obtained from practical experiment in order to test the feasibility of DEM. The comparison shows that this DEM method can be a very promising tool in the mould filling simulation of beads' movement. | Jiang Junxia Li Qinliang Wu Zhichao Chen Liliang | 2010 | China Foundry2010，7，4： | 9 |
| 12 | Characteristics and dynamics analysis of Populus euphratica populations in the middle reaches of Tarim River显示文摘Populus euphratica Oliv. is widely distributed along the Tarim River. Maintaining stability of P. euphratica population is important to local development. This study explored the static life table, survivorship curves and four function curves (survival rate, cumulative mortality rate, mortality density, and hazard rate), and development index of P. euphratica population in the middle reaches of Tarim River. The results indicated that the age structure of P. euphratica population belonged to positive pyramidal type, which meant young age-class individuals occupied most populations. The number ofⅠ-Ⅱage classes accounted for 66.2% of whole population, and this indicated that there were abundant subsequent seedlings resources to support the growth of P. euphratica population in the middle reaches of Tarim River. The survivorship curve of P. euphratica belonged to the Deevey Ⅲ (concave-type) and the development index was 47.72%. Four function curves revealed that the individuals of P. euphratica sharply decreased at the initial stage and then leveled off at the late stage of survival curve. Time sequence prediction models predicted that the number of midlife individuals would increase in future 10, 20, 30 years, and P. euphratica population grew steadily as a result of rich saplings. | Wu, JunXia Zhang, XiMing Deng, ChaoZhou Liu, GuoJun Li, Hong | 2010 | Journal of Arid Land2010，2，4： | 9 |

| 14 | Flexible, Porous, and Metal–Heteroatom?Doped Carbon Nanofibers as Efficient ORR Electrocatalysts for Zn–Air Battery显示文摘Developing an e cient and durable oxygen reduction electrocatalyst is critical for clean-energy technology, such as fuel cells and metal–air batteries. In this study, we developed a facile strategy for the preparation of flexible, porous, and well-dispersed metal–heteroatom-doped carbon nanofibers by direct carbonization of electrospun Zn/Co-ZIFs/PAN nanofibers(Zn/Co-ZIFs/PAN). The obtained Zn/Co and N co-doped porous carbon nanofibers carbonized at 800 °C(Zn/Co–N@PCNFs-800) presented a good flexibility, a continuous porous structure, and a superior oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) catalytic activity to that of commercial 20 wt% Pt/C, in terms of its onset potential(0.98 V vs. RHE), half-wave potential(0.89 V vs. RHE), and limiting current density(-5.26 mA cm^(-2)). In addition, we tested the suitability and durability of Zn/Co–N@PCNFs-800 as the oxygen cathode for a rechargeable Zn–air battery. The prepared Zn–air batteries exhibited a higher power density(83.5 mW cm^(-2)), a higher specific capacity(640.3 mAh g^(-1)), an excellent reversibility, and a better cycling life than the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C + RuO_2 catalysts. This design strategy of flexible porous non-precious metal-doped ORR electrocatalysts obtained from electrospun ZIFs/polymer nanofibers could be extended to fabricate other novel, stable, and easy-to-use multi-functional electrocatalysts for clean-energy technology. | Qijian Niu Binling Chen Junxia Guo Jun Nie Xindong Guo Guiping Ma | 2019 | Nano-Micro Letters2019，11，1： | 7 |
| 15 | Microwave assisted atmospheric acid leaching of nickel from laterite ore显示文摘The recovery of nickel from laterite ore with sulphuric acid under the effect of microwave irradiation was studied.The experimental results indicated that the extraction rate of nickel was influenced by reaction time,sulphuric acid concentration,and temperature,especially by microwave power.The results obtained from the experiments of orthogonal arrays showed that the optimum conditions of sulphuric acid concentration,reaction time,microwave power,and temperature were 25 vol.%,1.5 h,600 W,and 90°C,respectively.Under the optimal conditions,the nickel recovery could reach approximately 90.8%,which was higher than that obtained by conventional water bath heating.Kinetic experiments showed that the leaching of nickel in a sulphuric acid medium was controlled by chemical reaction occurring on the surface of laterite ore.The apparent activation energy was 38.9 kJ/mol.Microwave heating technology is efficient,clean,and easy to control and facilitate continuous processing of materials. | CHE Xiaokui SU Xiuzhu CHI Ru'an YU Junxia | 2010 | Rare Metals2010，29，3： | 7 |
| 16 | The transmission link of CAPS navigation and communication system显示文摘The Chinese Area Positioning System (CAPS) is based on communication satellites with integrated capability, which is different from the Global Positioning System (GPS), the International Maritime Satellite Organization (Inmarsat) and so on. CAPS works at C-band, and its navigation information is not directly generated from the satellite, but from the master control station on the ground and transmitted to users via the satellite. The slightly inclined geostationary-satellite orbit (SIGSO) satellites are adopted in CAPS. All of these increase the difficulty in the design of the system and terminals. In this paper, the authors study the CAPS configuration parameters of the navigation master control station, information transmission capability, and the selection of the antenna aperture of the communication center station, as well as the impact of satellite parameters on the whole communication system from the perspective of the transmission link budget. The conclusion of availability of the CAPS navigation system is achieved. The results show that the CAPS inbound communication system forms a new low-data-rate satellite communication system, which can accommodate mass communication terminals with the transmission rate of no more than 1 kbps for every terminal. The communication center station should be configured with a large-aperture antenna (about 10-15 m); spread spectrum com- munication technology should be used with the spreading gain as high as about 40 dB; reduction of the satellite transponder gain attenuation is beneficial to improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the system, with the attenuation value of 0 or 2 dB as the best choice. The fact that the CAPS navigation system has been checked and accepted by the experts and the operation is stable till now clarifies the rationality of the analysis results. The fact that a variety of experiments and applications of the satellite communication system designed according to the findings in this paper have been successfully carried out confirms the correctness of the study results. | CUI JunXia SHI HuLi CHEN JiBin PEI Jun | 2009 | Science China(Physics,Mechanics & Astronomy)2009，52，3： | 6 |
| 17 | Vertical distribution of aerosol optical properties based on aircraft measurements over the Loess Plateau in China显示文摘Vertical distributions of aerosol optical properties based on aircraft measurements over the Loess Plateau were measured for the first time during a summertime aircraft campaign, 2013 in Shanxi, China. Data from four flights were analyzed. The vertical distributions of aerosol optical properties including aerosol scattering coefficients(σsc), absorption coefficients(σab),Angstr?m exponent(α), single scattering albedo(ω), backscattering ratio(βsc), aerosol mass scattering proficiency(Q sc) and aerosol surface scattering proficiency(Q sc′) were obtained. The mean statistical values of σsc were 77.45 Mm-1(at 450 nm), 50.72 Mm-1(at 550 nm), and32.02 Mm-1(at 700 nm). The mean value of σab was 7.62 Mm-1(at 550 nm). The mean values ofα, βsc and ω were 1.93, 0.15, and 0.91, respectively. Aerosol concentration decreased with altitude. Most effective diameters(ED) of aerosols were less than 0.8 μm. The vertical profiles of σsc,, α, βsc, Q sc and Q sc′ showed that the aerosol scattering properties at lower levels contributed the most to the total aerosol radiative forcing. Both α and βsc had relatively large values, suggesting that most aerosols in the observational region were small particles. The mean values of σsc, α, βsc, Q sc, Q sc′, σab and ω at different height ranges showed that most of the parameters decreased with altitude. The forty-eight hour backward trajectories of air masses during the observation days indicated that the majority of aerosols in the lower level contributed the most to the total aerosol loading, and most of these particles originated from local or regional pollution emissions. | Junxia Li Xingang Liu Liang Yuan Yan Yin Zhanqing Li Peiren Li Gang Ren Lijun Jin Runjun Li Zipeng Dong Yiyu Li Junmei Yang | 2015 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2015，27，8： | 6 |
| 18 | The zinc transporter Slc39a5 controls glucose sensing and insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells via Sirt1- and Pgc-1α-mediated regulation of Glut2显示文摘Zinc levels are high in pancreatic β-cells, and zinc is involved in the synthesis, processing and secretion of insulin in these cells. However, precisely how cellular zinc homeostasis is regulated in pancreatic β-cells is poorly understood. By screening the expression of 14 Slc39a metal importer family member genes, we found that the zinc transporter Slc39a5 is significantly downregulated in pancreatic β-cells in diabetic db/db mice, obese ob/ob mice and high-fat diet-fed mice. Moreover,β-cell-specific Slc39a5 knockout mice have impaired insulin secretion. In addition, Slc39a5-deficient pancreatic islets have reduced glucose tolerance accompanied by reduced expression of Pgc-1α and its downstream target gene Glut2. The down-regulation of Glut2 in Slc39a5-deficient islets was rescued using agonists of Sirt1, Pgc-1α and Ppar-γ. At the mechanistic level, we found that Slc39a5-mediated zinc influx induces Glut2 expression via Sirt1-mediated Pgc-1α activation. These findings suggest that Slc39a5 may serve as a possible therapeutic target for diabetes-related conditions. | Xinhui Wang Hong Gao Wenhui Wu Enjun Xie Yingying Yu Xuyan He Jin Li Wanru Zheng Xudong Wang Xizhi Cao Zhuoxian Meng Ligong Chen Junxia Min Fudi Wang | 2019 | Protein & Cell2019，10，6： | 6 |
| 19 | Anti-inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Effects of Marine n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Human Health and Diseases显示文摘The pharmaceutical effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids(n-3 PUFAs) as dietary nutrients on human health and diseases have gained much attention and are investigated for decades. Docosahexaenoic acid(DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) and docosapentaenoic acid(DPA) are the three major n-3 PUFAs enriched in marine organisms, such as fish, shrimp, algae, and so on. It has been well known that n-3 PUFAs, especially DHA and EPA, are beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Accumulating evidence suggests that n-3 PUFAs might cure inflammatory diseases through several mechanisms, such as plasma membrane remodeling of lymphocytes, down-regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, and alternating adhesion molecule expressions. Several molecular targets of n-3 PUFAs on immune-regulation have also been identified, such as GPR120(FFA4), protein kinase C(PKC), and PPAR-γ. However, it remains inconclusive if dietary n-3 PUFAs function the same both in vitro and in vivo based on cohort studies. This review will focus on the molecular targets and mechanisms of anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of n-3 PUFAs on human health and diseases, such as obesity, tumor, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. | ZHANG Yiran MIN Junxia ZHANG Lijuan | 2019 | Journal of Ocean University of China2019，18，2： | 5 |
| 20 | Auranofin mitigates systemic iron overload and induces ferroptosis via distinct mechanisms显示文摘Iron homeostasis is essential for health;moreover,hepcidin-deficiency results in iron overload in both hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-loading anemia.Here,we identified iron modulators by functionally screening hepcidin agonists using a library of 640 FDA-approved drugs in human hepatic Huh7 cells.We validated the results in C57BL/6J mice and a mouse model of hemochromatosis(Hfe^(−/−)mice).Our screen revealed that the anti-rheumatoid arthritis drug auranofin(AUR)potently upregulates hepcidin expression.Interestingly,we found that canonical signaling pathways that regulate iron,including the Bmp/Smad and IL-6/Jak2/Stat3 pathways,play indispensable roles in mediating AUR’s effects.In addition,AUR induces IL-6 via the NF-κB pathway.In C57BL/6J mice,acute treatment with 5 mg/kg AUR activated hepatic IL-6/hepcidin signaling and decreased serum iron and transferrin saturation.Whereas chronically treating male Hfe^(−/−)mice with 5 mg/kg AUR activated hepatic IL-6/hepcidin signaling,decreasing systemic iron overload,but less effective in females.Further analyses revealed that estrogen reduced the ability of AUR to induce IL-6/hepcidin signaling in Huh7 cells,providing a mechanistic explanation for ineffectiveness of AUR in female Hfe^(−/−)mice.Notably,high-dose AUR(25 mg/kg)induces ferroptosis and causes lipid peroxidation through inhibition of thioredoxin reductase(TXNRD)activity.We demonstrate the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin significantly protects liver toxicity induced by highdose AUR without comprising its beneficial effect on iron metabolism.In conclusion,our findings provide compelling evidence that TXNRD is a key regulator of ferroptosis,and AUR is a novel activator of hepcidin and ferroptosis via distinct mechanisms,suggesting a promising approach for treating hemochromatosis and hepcidin-deficiency related disorders. | Lei Yang Hao Wang Xiang Yang Qian Wu Peng An Xi Jin Weiwei Liu Xin Huang Yuzhu Li Shiyu Yan Shuying Shen Tingbo Liang Junxia Min Fudi Wang | 2020 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2020，5，1： | 5 |
