| 1 | Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells protect against experimental liver fibrosis in rats显示文摘AIM: Recent reports have shown the capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into hepatocytes in vitro and in vivo. MSCs administration could repair injured liver, lung, or heart through reducing inflammation, collagen deposition, and remodeling. These results provide a clue to treatment of liver fibrosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of infusion of bone marrow (BM)-derived MSCs on the experimental liver fibrosis in rats.METHODS: MSCs isolated from BM in male Fischer 344 rats were infused to female Wistar rats induced with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) or dimethylnitrosamine (DMN).There were two random groups on the 42nd d of CCl4:CCl4/MSCs, to infuse a dose of MSCs alone; CCl4/saline,to infuse the same volume of saline as control. There were another three random groups after exposure to DMN: DMN10/MSCs, to infuse the same dose of MSCs on d 10; DMN10/saline, to infuse the same volume of saline on d 10; DMN20/MSCs, to infuse the same dose of MSCson d 20. The morphological and behavioral changes ofrats were monitored everyday. After 4-6 wk of MSCs administration, all rats were killed and fibrosis index were assessed by histopathology and radioimmunoassay. Smooth muscle alpha-actin (alpha-SMA) of liver were tested by immunohistochemistry and quantified by IBAS 2.5 software. Male rats sex determination region on the Y chromosome (sry) gene were explored by PCR.RESULTS: Compared to controls, infusion of MSCsreduced the mortality rates of incidence in CCl4-induced model (10% vs 20%) and in DMN-induced model (2040% vs 90%).The amount of collagen deposition and alpha-SMA staining was about 40-50% lower in liver of rats with MSCs than that of rats without MSCs. The similar results were observed in fibrosis index. And the effect of the inhibition of fibrogenesis was greater in DMN10/MSCs than in DMN20/MSCs. The sry gene was positive in the liver of rats with MSCs treatment by PCR.CONCLUSION: MSCs treatment can protect against experimental liver fibrosis in CCl4-induced or DMN-induced rats and the mechanisms of the anti-fibrosis by MSCs will be studied further. | Dong-ChangZhao Jun-XiaLei RuiChen Wei-HuaYu Xiu-MingZhang Shu-NongLi PengXiang | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,22: | 71 |

The D(2)-vertex-distinguishing total colorings of some special graphs are discussed, meanwhile, a conjecture and an open problem are presented. | ZHANG Zhongfu,LI Jingwen,CHEN Xiang’en,YAO Bing, WANG Wenjie & QIU Pengxiang Institute of Applied Mathematic, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China College of Mathematics and Information Science, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China College of Information and Electrical Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China | 2006 | Science China Mathematics2006,49,10: | 54 |
| 3 | Optically pumped terahertz sources显示文摘High-power terahertz(THz) generation in the frequency range of 0.1-10 THz has been a fast-developing research area ever since the beginning of the THz boom two decades ago, enabling new technological breakthroughs in spectroscopy, communication, imaging,etc. By using optical(laser) pumping methods with near-or mid-infrared(IR) lasers, flexible and practical THz sources covering the whole THz range can be realized to overcome the shortage of electronic THz sources and now they are playing important roles in THz science and technology. This paper overviews various optically pumped THz sources, including femtosecond laser based ultrafast broadband THz generation, monochromatic widely tunable THz generation, single-mode on-chip THz source from photomixing, and the traditional powerful THz gas lasers. Full descriptions from basic principles to the latest progress are presented and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed as well. It is expected that this review gives a comprehensive reference to researchers in this area and additionally helps newcomers to quickly gain understanding of optically pumped THz sources. | ZHONG Kai SHI Wei XU DeGang LIU PengXiang WANG YuYe MEI JiaLin YAN Chao FU ShiJie YAO JianQuan | 2017 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2017,60,12: | 9 |
| 4 | Carbon nanotubes prepared by anodic aluminum oxide template method显示文摘One of the most unique structural characteristics of carbon nanotubes(CNTs) differentiating from other carbon materials is their hollow nanochannles,which can be utilized for encapsulating and loading foreign matters.The anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) template technique enables the diameter,length,and cap structure control of the replicated CNTs,and thus shows advantages in pore structure control over the traditional CNT growth approaches.This review details the synthesis of CNTs with tunable diameter,length,wall thickness,and crystalline by using the AAO template method.The doping of heteroatoms and filling of foreign matters into AAO-CNTs are also addressed.Moreover,the main challenges and developing trends of the AAO template method are discussed. | HOU PengXiang LIU Chang SHI Chao CHENG HuiMing | 2012 | Chinese Science Bulletin2012,57,2: | 7 |
| 5 | The apple DNA-binding one zinc-finger protein MdDof54 promotes drought resistance显示文摘DNA-binding one zinc-finger(Dof)proteins constitute a family of transcription factors with a highly conserved Dof domain that contains a C2C2 zinc-finger motif.Although several studies have demonstrated that Dof proteins are involved in multiple plant processes,including development and stress resistance,the functions of these proteins in drought stress resistance are largely unknown.Here,we report the identification of the MdDof54 gene from apple and document its positive roles in apple drought resistance.After long-term drought stress,compared with nontransgenic plants,MdDof54 RNAi plants had significantly shorter heights and weaker root systems;the transgenic plants also had lower shoot and root hydraulic conductivity,as well as lower photosynthesis rates.By contrast,compared with nontransgenic plants,MdDof54-overexpressing plants had higher photosynthesis rates and shoot hydraulic conductivity under long-term drought stress.Moreover,compared with nontransgenic plants,MdDof54-overexpressing plants had higher survival percentages under short-term drought stress,whereas MdDof54 RNAi plants had lower survival percentages.MdDof54 RNAi plants showed significant downregulation of 99 genes and significant upregulation of 992 genes in response to drought,and 366 of these genes were responsive to drought.We used DAPseq and ChIP-seq analyses to demonstrate that MdDof54 recognizes cis-elements that contain an AAAG motif.Taken together,our results provide new information on the functions of MdDof54 in plant drought stress resistance as well as resources for apple breeding aimed at the improvement of drought resistance. | Pengxiang Chen Mingjia Yan Lei Li Jieqiang He Shuangxi Zhou Zhongxing Li Chundong Niu Chana Bao Fang Zhi Fengwang Ma Qingmei Guan | 2020 | Horticulture Research2020,7,1: | 7 |
| 6 | Effect of wastewater composition on the calcium carbonate precipitation in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors显示文摘Calcium carbonate often precipitates in anaerobic reactors treating wastewater with high calcium content.The aim of this paper is to study the effect of wastewater composition on calcium carbonate precipitation in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket(UASB)reactors.Two laboratory-scale UASB reactors were operated with calcium-containing influents using acetate and carbohydrate as substrate,respectively.There was an obvious accumulation of inorganic precipitate observed in the biogranules.Observations via scanning electron microscope(SEM)and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS)showed that the acclimated biogranules in the two reactors differed in microstructure.Calcium carbonate was found to have precipitated on the surface of acetate-degrading biogranules,but precipitated at the core of the carbohydrate-degrading biogranules.The results indicated that substrates had significant influence on the location of calcium carbonate precipitation in anaerobic granular sludge,which was expected due to the different methanogens distribution and pH gradient within the granular sludge degrading various substrates.Moreover,the location of calcium carbonate precipitation substantially affected the specific methanogenic activity(SMA)of the granular sludge.The SMA of the acetate-degrading biogranules dropped from 1.96 gCODCH4·gVSS^(–1)·d^(–1)to 0.61 gCODCH4·gVSS^(–1)·d^(–1)after 180-d of operation in the reactor.However,the SMA of the carbohydrate-degrading biogranules was not adversely affected by calcium carbonate precipitation. | Shucheng YANG Yanling HE Yonghong LIU Charles CHOU Pengxiang ZHANG Dongqi WANG | 2010 | Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering2010,4,2: | 6 |
| 7 | Anti-PD-L1/TGF-BR fusion protein (SHR-1701) overcomes disrupted lymphocyte recovery-induced resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in lung cancer显示文摘Background:Second-generation programmed cell death-protein 1/pro-grammed death-ligand 1(PD-1/PD-L1)inhibitors,such as bintrafusp alfa(M7824),SHR-1701,and YM101,have been developed to simultaneously block PD-1/PD-L1 and transforming growth factor-beta/transforming growth factor-beta receptor(TGF-P/TGF-βR).Consequently,it is necessary to identify predictive factors of lung cancer patients who are not only resistant to PD-1/PD-LI inhibitors but also sensitive to bifunctional drugs.The purpose of this study was to search for such predictors.Methods:Multivariable Cox regression was used to study the association between the clinical outcome of treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and lym-phocyte recovery after lymphopenia in lung cancer patients.Murine CMT167 lung cancer cells were engineered to express the firefly luciferase gene and implanted orthotopically in the lung of syngeneic mice.Bioluminescence imag-ing,flow cytometry,and immunohistochemistry were employed to detrmine response to immunotherapy and function of tumor-infiltrating immune cells.Results:For lung cancer patients treated with anti-PD-1/PD-LI antibodies,poor lymphocyte recovery was associated with a shorter progression-free survival(PFS;P<0.001),an accumulation of regulatory T cells(Tregs),and an elimi-nation of CD8+T cells in the peripheral blood.Levels of CD8+T cells and Treg cells were also imbalanced in the tumors and peripheral immune organs of mice with poor lymphocyte recovery after chemotherapy.Moreover,these mice failed to respond to anti-PD-1 antibodies but remained sensitive to the anti-PD-LI/TGF-βR fusion protein(SHR-1701).Consistently,SHR-1701 but not anti-PD-1 antibod-ies,markedly enhanced IFN-γproduction and Ki-67 expression in peripheral CD8+T cells from patients with impaired lymphocyte recovery.Conclusions:Lung cancer patients with poor lymphocyte recovery and suffer-ing from persistent lymphopenia after previous chemotherapy are resistant to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies but might be sensitive to second-generation agents such as SHR-1701. | Bo Cheng Kaikai Ding Pengxiang Chen Jianxiong Ji Tao Luo Xiaofan Guo Wei Qiu Chunhong Ma Xue Meng Jian Wang Jinming Yu Yuan Liu | 2022 | Cancer Communications2022,42,1: | 5 |
| 8 | High-average-power, high-repetition-rate tunable terahertz difference frequency generation with GaSe crystal pumped by 2 μm dual-wavelength intracavity KTP optical parametric oscillator显示文摘We have demonstrated a high-average-power,high-repetition-rate optical terahertz(THz)source based on difference frequency generation(DFG)in the GaSe crystal by using a near-degenerate 2μm intracavity KTP optical parametric oscillator as the pump source.The power of the 2μm dual-wavelength laser was up to 12.33 W with continuous tuning ranges of 1988.0–2196.2 nm/2278.4–2065.6 nm for two waves.Different GaSe cystal lengths have been experimentally investigated for the DFG THz source in order to optimize the THz output power,which was in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.Based on an 8 mm long GaSe crystal,the THz wave was continuously tuned from 0.21 to 3 THz.The maximum THz average power of 1.66μW was obtained at repetition rate of 10 kHz under 1.48 THz.The single pulse energy amounted to 166 pJ and the conversion efficiency from 2 μm laser to THz output was 1.68×10^(-6).The signal-to-noise ratio of the detected THz voltage was 23 dB.The acceptance angle of DFG in the GaSe crystal was measured to be 0.16°. | DEXIAN YAN YUYE WANG DEGANG XU PENGXIANG LIU CHAO YAN JIA SHI HONGXIANG LIU YIXIN HE LONGHUANG TANG JIANCHEN FENG JIANQIN GUO WEI SHI KAI ZHONG YUEN H.TSANG JIANQUAN YAO | 2017 | Photonics Research2017,5,2: | 5 |
| 9 | Th17 cells were recruited and accumulated in the cerebrospinal fluid and correlated with the poor prognosis of anti-NMDAR encephalitis显示文摘Anti-N-methyI-D-aspartate-receptor (NMDAR)encephalitis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by memory deficits,psychiatric symptoms,and autonomic instability.The lack of suitable biomarkers targeting anti-NMDAR encephalitis makes the immunotherapy and prognosis challenging.In this study,we found that the Th17 cells were significantly accumulated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)of anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients than that of control individuals.The concentration of the cytokines and chemokines including interleukin (IL)-1β,IL-17,IL-6,and CXCL-13 were significantly increased in the CSF of anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients.IL-6 and IL-17 were found to promote the differentiation of CD4+T cells into Th17 lineage.The chemotaxis assay showed that CCL20 and CCL22 play essential roles in the migration of Th17 cells.Notably,the correlation between the expression of IL-17 and the outcome of anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients was analyzed.The data showed that high level of IL-17 was significantly correlated with the limited response to the treatment and relapse of anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients.Our results suggested the potential important involvement of IL-17 in anti-NMDAR encephalitis. | Chaosheng Zeng Lin Chen Bocan Chen Yi Cai Pengxiang Li Limin Yan Dehua Zeng | 2018 | Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica2018,50,12: | 5 |
| 10 | Apple SERRATE negatively mediates drought resistance by regulating MdMYB88 and MdMYB124 and microRNA biogenesis显示文摘The function of serrate(SE)in miRNA biogenesis in Arabidopsis is well elucidated,whereas its role in plant drought resistance is largely unknown.In this study,we report that MdSE acts as a negative regulator of apple(Malus×domestica)drought resistance by regulating the expression levels of MdMYB88 and MdMYB124 and miRNAs,including mdm-miR156,mdm-miR166,mdm-miR172,mdm-miR319,and mdm-miR399.MdSE interacts with MdMYB88 and MdMYB124,two positive regulators of apple drought resistance.MdSE decreases the transcript and protein levels of MdMYB88 and MdMYB124,which directly regulate the expression of MdNCED3,a key enzyme in abscisic acid(ABA)biosynthesis.Furthermore,MdSE is enriched in the same region of the MdNECD3 promoter where MdMYB88/MdMYB124 binds.Consistently,MdSE RNAi transgenic plants are more sensitive to ABA-induced stomatal closure,whereas MdSE OE plants are less sensitive.In addition,under drought stress,MdSE is responsible for the biogenesis of mdm-miR399,a negative regulator of drought resistance,and negatively regulates miRNAs,including mdm-miR156,mdm-miR166,mdm-miR172,and mdm-miR319,which are positive regulators of drought resistance.Taken together,by revealing the negative role of MdSE,our results broaden our understanding of the apple drought response and provide a candidate gene for apple drought improvement through molecular breeding. | Xuewei Li Pengxiang Chen Yinpeng Xie Yan Yan Liping Wang Huan Dang Jing Zhang Lingfei Xu Fengwang Ma Qingmei Guan | 2020 | Horticulture Research2020,7,1: | 4 |
| 11 | Biogas production from microbial-alkali pretreated corn stover by solid-state anaerobic digestion显示文摘Corn stover pretreated by Ceriporiopsis subvermispora was used as substrate to enhance biogas production via solid state anaerobic digestion(SS-AD).Effects of temperature,inoculum volume and alkaline concentration on the biogas production profermance were investigated.The results showed that pretreatment of corn stover by C.subvermispora benefited the biogas production.The optimal conditions were temperature 35°C,inoculum 10:1(w/w)and adding 5.0%of alkali,under which the maximum productions were obtained for daily and cumulative biogas of 14.07 L/kg VS and 211.09 L/kg VS.During the SS-AD process,the total solids(TS)and volatile solid(VS)were significantly degraded.The volatile fatty acids(VFA)concentration increased to 106 mmol/L and alkalinity decreased by about 23%.The results collectively suggested that microbial-alkali pretreatment of corn stove combining mesophilic condition could be a promising way to produce biogas in SS-AD. | Zhao Pengxiang Cui Fengjie Bu Lingxi Jiang Jianxin | 2015 | International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering2015,8,5: | 4 |
| 12 | Carbon nanotube/silicon heterojunctions for photovoltaic applications显示文摘Photovoltaic devices have rapidly developed in recent years as they seek to address the ever-increasing energy requirements and environmental issues.Due to their simple structure and easy,low-temperature fabrication,heterojunctions of carbon nanotube(CNT)films and silicon(Si)have been used in solar cells,photodetectors and optoelectronic gas sensors.Significant progress has been made on the development of high-performance CNT/Si heterojunction devices,in particular,CNT/Si solar cells.Here,we give a comprehensive overview of state-of-theart CNT/Si heterojunction devices.The effects of the structure of the CNTs,the interface layer and the silicon structure on the performance of CNT/Si solar cells are analyzed.In addition,potential ways to further improve the performance of such photovoltaic devices are proposed.Finally,the key challenges and developing trends in CNT/Si heterojunction photovoltaic devices are discussed. | Xiangang Hu Pengxiang Hou Chang Liu Huiming Cheng | 2019 | Nano Materials Science2019,1,3: | 3 |
| 13 | Lifetime Evaluating and the Effects of Operation Conditions on Automotive Fuel Cells显示文摘Lifetime is one of the important indicators of automotive proton exchange membrane fuel cells. People used to evaluate the lifetime of vehicular fuel cells by laboratory tests or road tests that usually take thousands hours even years. In order to achieve a rapid evaluation technique and to seek lifetime extension methods, a lifetime calculation formation was drawn out in consideration of the vehicle driving cycle and the working condition factors. Bench experiments were individually carried out on two fuel-cell stacks same as ones applied on vehicle, and the performance decay rates of the two stacks were obtained under four operation conditions of changing load cycle, start-stop cycle, idling and heavy load. As a result, the predicted lifetimes rather conform to the actual running status in road test. And the research on the fuel cell performance decay rates under different load conditions was also done. Consequently, an unexpected finding was discovered that operating under micro-current has an effect on recovering fuel cell performance. The vehicle fuel cell rapid assessment method only requires four laboratory tests of driving cycle, load cycle, idle operating conditions and heavy load conditions, and the whole process merely lasts less than 250 h. These experimental results can be used to predict the vehicular fuel cell lifetimes on various utility models or driving cycles, therefore to optimize the application model to prolong the fuel cell lifetime. Actually in the experiment, it has already been proved successfully that the fuel cell lifetime could be extended from 1 100 h to 2 600 h by optimizing operating mode. The quick evaluation method is helpful to develop extended life fuel cell and to deplete fuel cell for a longer time. | PEI Pucheng YUAN Xing LI Pengcheng CHAO Pengxiang CHANG Qianfei | 2010 | Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering2010,23,1: | 3 |
| 14 | N-phosphoryl amino acid models for P–N bonds in prebiotic chemical evolution显示文摘Post-translational modification of proteins by N-phosphorylation of the basic amino acid residues plays important roles in biological processes. The high-energy P–N bond might have contributed to the evolution of prebiotic chemistry. N-phosphoryl amino acids(PAAs) can serve as interesting small molecular models for the study of P–N bonds in prebiotic chemical evolution. PAAs are capable of simultaneously producing several important biomolecules such as polypeptides and oligonucleotides under mild reaction conditions. In this review, we describe the chemistry of PAAs, discusse their likely prebiotic origins and their reactivity and how they relate to biological P–N bond species. We also depict a possible prebiotic scenario mediated by PAAs in which PAAs may have acted as one of the essential forces driving prebiotic biomolecules to the first protocell. | Feng Ni Chuan Fu Xiang Gao Yan Liu Pengxiang Xu Liu Liu Ye Lv Songsen Fu Ying Sun Daxiong Han Yan-Mei Li Yufen Zhao | 2015 | Science China Chemistry2015,58,3: | 3 |

| 16 | Investigation and analysis of the linkage mechanism and whole process cost of livestock manure organic fertilizer显示文摘In recent years,the utilization of manure resources for livestock and poultry farming has attracted a widespread attention,and manure resources utilization models suitable for different regional characteristics have formed gradually.Among them,the production of organic fertilizer from animal manure is a vital utilization method.However,there are still some problems such as high production costs,difficult sales,and the unwillingness of farmers to use organic fertilizers which have affected the breeding cycle and the sustainability of manure treatment in livestock and poultry breeding.This article selected 371 organic fertilizer plants,related farms and farmers in China,focusing on the main links of the entire process of livestock manure-organic fertilizer-farm application,and studied the mode of animal manure collection by organic fertilizer plants.The costs of organic fertilizer production and farmland application were discussed.Moreover,suggestions were made for the promotion and implementation of large-scale organic fertilizers to make good utilization of manure resources in livestock and poultry farming. | Shanshan Dong Bin Sui Yujun Shen Haibo Meng Lixin Zhao Jingtao Ding Haibin Zhou Xi Zhang Hongsheng Cheng Jian Wang Ran Li Liqiu Song Pengxiang Xu Ji Li | 2020 | International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering2020,13,2: | 2 |
| 17 | Mechanism of variations in environmental magnetic proxies of lake sediments from Nam Co, Tibet during the Holocene显示文摘High-resolution environmental records from the Tibetan Plateau are essential to understand past global climatic and environmental changes. Magnetic minerals in lake sediments are important proxies to reconstruct environmental and climatic changes. Nam Co (lake) is a typical great lake in the transitional region of southwest monsoon in the Tibetan Plateau. Previous studies have extensively focused on geochemistry, microfossils, sedimentology and biochemistry analysis of Nam Co, which provides sound interpretation of paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes. However, up to now, no systematic environmental magnetic studies have been carried out. Therefore, high-resolution and systematic magnetic studies combined with geochemical parameters were carried on lake sediments of core NC 08/01 from Nam Co for the Holocene period (11.3 cal ka BP) in order to explore how magnetic properties of the sediments respond to climatic changes. Based on variations of magnetic proxies, the sequence can be separated into 3 units. Unit 1 (236-199 cm, 11.3-7.8 cal ka BP) contains dominantly coarse-grained magnetite with homogeneous grain size. A positive correlation between magnetite and Ti strongly suggests that these coarse-grained detrital magnetites reflect detrital input signals due to insignificant effects of postdepositional dissolution processes on these coarse-grained magnetite particles. For Unit 2 (198-102 cm, 7.8-2.1 cal ka BP), magnetic grain size is finer and the corresponding concentration of magnetite is also reduced. This is mainly due to significant dissolution of these fine-grained detrital magnetite particles, which were transported under reduced water flow conditions during this period. For Unit 3 (101-0 cm, 2.1-0 cal ka BP), the bulk magnetic properties are dominated by a mixture of single domain biogenic magnetite and detrital magnetite. The concentration of magnetic minerals is not correlated with the Ti content. In conclusion, the preservation of magnetic minerals in the lake sediment and thus the corresponding magnetic properties are related to the initial grain size. Combination of magnetic properties (including variation of grain size and concentration) and other proxies of detrital inputs (e.g. Ti) can be used to infer the variation of redox conditions in Nam Co. These results provide a viable framework for reconstructing the paleoenvironmental changes of this lake. | SU YouLiang GAO Xing LIU QingSong HU PengXiang DUAN ZongQi JIANG ZhaoXia WANG JunBo ZHU LiPing DOBERSCHüTZ Stefan MUSBACHER Roland DAUT Gerhard HABERZETTL Torsten | 2013 | Chinese Science Bulletin2013,58,13: | 2 |
| 18 | Seismogenic Structures of the 2006 ML4.0 Dangan Island Earthquake Offshore Hong Kong显示文摘The northern margin of the South China Sea, as a typical extensional continental margin, has relatively strong intraplate seismicity. Compared with the active zones of Nanao Island, Yangjiang, and Heyuan, seismicity in the Pearl River Estuary is relatively low. However, a ML4.0 earthquake in 2006 occurred near Dangan Island(DI) offshore Hong Kong, and this site was adjacent to the source of the historical M5.8 earthquake in 1874. To reveal the seismogenic mechanism of intraplate earthquakes in DI, we systematically analyzed the structural characteristics in the source area of the 2006 DI earthquake using integrated 24-channel seismic profiles, onshore–offshore wide-angle seismic tomography, and natural earthquake parameters. We ascertained the locations of NW-and NE-trending faults in the DI sea and found that the NE-trending DI fault mainly dipped southeast at a high angle and cut through the crust with an obvious low-velocity anomaly. The NW-trending fault dipped southwest with a similar high angle. The 2006 DI earthquake was adjacent to the intersection of the NE-and NW-trending faults, which suggested that the intersection of the two faults with different strikes could provide a favorable condition for the generation and triggering of intraplate earthquakes. Crustal velocity model showed that the high-velocity anomaly was imaged in the west of DI, but a distinct entity with low-velocity anomaly in the upper crust and high-velocity anomaly in the lower crust was found in the south of DI. Both the 1874 and 2006 DI earthquakes occurred along the edge of the distinct entity. Two vertical cross-sections nearly perpendicular to the strikes of the intersecting faults revealed good spatial correlations between the 2006 DI earthquake and the low to high speed transition in the distinct entity. This result indicated that the transitional zone might be a weakly structural body that can store strain energy and release it as a brittle failure, resulting in an earthquake-prone area. | XIA Shaohong CAO Jinghe SUN Jinlong LV Jinshui XU Huilong ZHANG Xiang WAN Kuiyuan FAN Chaoyan ZHOU Pengxiang | 2018 | Journal of Ocean University of China2018,17,1: | 2 |
| 19 | Bulk growth and separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes from rhenium catalyst显示文摘Bulk synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs)using solid catalyst has been challenging,despite of recent breakthrough in the chirality-specific growth on the flat substrate surface.In this work,we propose a porous magnesia support rhenium catalyst for bulk synthesis of SWNTs.It is found that the well-dispersed catalyst with a high melting point and the optimal chemical vapor deposition reaction conditions account for the growth of SWNTs.Detailed characterizations reveal the produced SWNTs are dominant in(n,n−1)and(n,n−2)species.Furthermore,by using a multicolumn chromatography post-growth separation method,SWNTs with three defined diameter ranges were obtained.This work guides the design of porous oxide supported catalyst for bulk synthesis and diameter-dependent sorting of SWNTs,which will ultimately help harness the extraordinary properties of SWNTs. | Chen Ma Yumin Liu Lili Zhang Liu Qian Yiming Zhao Ying Tian Qianru Wu Dong Li Nan Zhao Xueting Zhang Liantao Xin Huaping Liu Pengxiang Hou Chang Liu Maoshuai He Jin Zhang | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,7: | 2 |
| 20 | Genome-wide identification of droughtresponsive microRNAs in two sets of Malus from interspecific hybrid progenies显示文摘Drought stress can negatively impact apple fruit quality and yield.Apple microRNAs(miRNAs)participate in apple tree and fruit development,as well as in biotic stress tolerance;however,it is largely unknown whether these molecules are involved in the drought response.To identify drought-responsive miRNAs in Malus,we first examined the drought stress tolerance of ten F1 progenies of R3(M.×domestica)×M.sieversii.We performed Illumina sequencing on pooled total RNA from both drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive plants.The sequencing results identified a total of 206 known miRNAs and 253 candidate novel miRNAs from drought-tolerant plants and drought-sensitive plants under control or drought conditions.We identified 67 miRNAs that were differentially expressed in drought-tolerant plants compared with drought-sensitive plants under drought conditions.Under drought stress,61 and 35 miRNAs were differentially expressed in drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive plants,respectively.We determined the expression levels of seven out of eight miRNAs by stem-loop qPCR analysis.We also predicted the target genes of all differentially expressed miRNAs and identified the expression of some genes.Gene Ontology analyses indicated that the target genes were mainly involved in stimulus response and cellular and metabolic processes.Finally,we confirmed roles of two miRNAs in apple response to mannitol.Our results reveal candidate miRNAs and their associated mRNAs that could be targeted for improving drought tolerance in Malus species,thus providing a foundation for understanding the molecular networks involved in the response of apple trees to drought stress. | Chundong Niu Haiyan Li Lijuan Jiang Mingjia Yan Cuiying Li Dali Geng Yinpeng Xie Yan Yan Xiaoxia Shen Pengxiang Chen Jun Dong Fengwang Ma Qingmei Guan | 2019 | Horticulture Research2019,6,1: | 2 |
