| 1 | Nitric oxide suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation and protects against LPS-induced septic shock显示文摘Inflammasomes 是触发 caspase-1 的激活和 interleukin-1β 的成熟的多蛋白质建筑群;(IL-1β) ,然而,这些建筑群的规定仍然保持糟糕描绘了。这里,我们显示出那氮的氧化物(没有) 禁止了调停 NLRP3 的 ASC pyroptosome 形成, caspase-1 激活和 IL-1β在从老鼠和人的 myeloid 房间的分泌物。同时,内长不否定地也源于 iNOS (没有 synthase 的可诱导的形式) 调整 NLRP3 inflammasome 激活。iNOS 的弄空响应 LPS 和 ATP 导致了不正常的线粒体的增加的累积,它为增加的 IL-1β 负责;生产和 caspase-1 激活。没有生产的 iNOS 缺乏或药理学抑制在 vivo 提高了 NLRP3 依赖的 cytokine 生产,因此在老鼠从导致 LPS 的败血增加死亡,它被 NLRP3 阻止缺乏。我们的结果因此经由线粒体的稳定作为 NLRP3 inflammasome 的一个批评否定管理者不识别。这研究有重要含意让新策略的设计控制 NLRP3 相关的疾病。 | Kairui Mao Shuzhen Chen Mingkuan Chen Yonglei Ma Yan Wang Bo Huang Zhengyu He Yan Zeng Yu Htl Shuhui Sun Jing Li Xiaodong Wu Xiangrui Wang Warren Strober Chang Chen Guangxun Meng Bing Sun | 2013 | Cell Research2013,23,2: | 59 |
| 2 | The FTO/miR-181b-3p/ARL5B signaling pathway regulates cell migration and invasion in breast cancer显示文摘Background:N6-methyladenosine(m6A)RNA modification has been demonstrated to be a significant regulatory process in the progression of various tumors,including breast cancer.Fat mass and obesity-associated(FTO)enzyme,initially known as the obesity-related protein,is the first identified m6A demethylase.However,the relationship between FTO and breast cancer remains controversial.In this study,we aimed to elucidate the role and clinical significance of FTO in breast cancer and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods:We first investigated the expression of FTO in breast cancer cell lines and tissues by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR(qRT-PCR),Western blotting,and immunohistochemistry.Wound healing assay and Transwell assay were performed to determine the migration and invasion abilities of SKBR3 and MDAMB453 cells with either knockdown or overexpression of FTO.RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)was conducted to decipher the downstream targets of FTO.qRT-PCR,luciferase reporter assay,and Western blotting were employed to confirm the existence of the FTO/miR-181b-3p/ARL5B axis.The biological function of ADP ribosylation factor like GTPase 5B(ARL5B)in breast cancer cells was evaluated by wound healing assay and Transwell invasion assay.Results:High FTO expression was observed in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-positive breast cancer,predicting advanced progression(tumor size[P<0.001],nuclear grade[P=0.001],peritumoral lymphovascular invasion[P<0.001),lymph node metastasis[P=0.002],and TNM stage[P=0.001])and poor prognosis.Moreover,FTO promoted cell invasion and migration in vitro.Mechanistically,RNA-seq and further confirmation studies suggested that FTO up-regulated ARL5B by inhibiting miR-181b-3p.We further verified that ARL5B also displayed carcinogenic activity in breast cancer cells.Conclusion:Our work demonstrated the carcinogenic activity of FTO in promoting the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells via the FTO/miR-181b-3p/ARL5B signaling pathway. | Yuanyuan Xu Shuang Ye Nan Zhang Shuhui Zheng Huatao Liu Kewen Zhou Ling Wang Yue Cao Peng Sun Tinghuai Wang | 2020 | Cancer Communications2020,40,10: | 24 |
| 3 | Low-dose quercetin positively regulates mouse healthspan显示文摘Dear Editor,Aging is the leading risk factor for many chronic diseases,accounting for almost 60%of all deaths worldwide.How to achieve healthy aging,alleviate aging-related diseases,and extend healthspan has become a main topic of biomedical research(He et al.,2019).Geroprotective compounds,such as metformin and rapamycin,have been shown to improve both healthspan and lifespan in mice(Martin-Montalvo et al.,2013;Bitto et al.,2016),whereas nicotinamide partially improves healthspan in mice(Mitchell et al.,2018). | Lingling Geng Zunpeng Liu Si Wang Shuhui Sun Shuai Ma Xiaoqian Liu Piu Chan Liang Sun Moshi Song Weiqi Zhang Guang-Hui Liu Jing Qu | 2019 | Protein & Cell2019,10,10: | 12 |
| 4 | Single-cell transcriptomic atlas of primate cardiopulmonary aging显示文摘Aging is a major risk factor for many diseases,especially in highly prevalent cardiopulmonary comorbidities and infectious diseases including Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19).Resolving cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with aging in higher mammals is therefore urgently needed.Here,we created young and old non-human primate single-nucleus/cell transcriptomic atlases of lung,heart and artery,the top tissues targeted by SARS-CoV-2.Analysis of cell type-specific aging-associated transcriptional changes revealed increased systemic inflammation and compromised virus defense as a hallmark of cardiopulmonary aging.With age,expression of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2)was increased in the pulmonary alveolar epithelial barrier,cardiomyocytes,and vascular endothelial cells.We found that interleukin 7(IL7)accumulated in aged cardiopulmonary tissues and induced ACE2 expression in human vascular endothelial cells in an NF-κB-dependent manner.Furthermore,treatment with vitamin C blocked IL7-induced ACE2 expression.Altogether,our findings depict the first transcriptomic atlas of the aged primate cardiopulmonary system and provide vital insights into age-linked susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2,suggesting that geroprotective strategies may reduce COVID-19 severity in the elderly. | Shuai Ma Shuhui Sun Jiaming Li Yanling Fan Jing Qu Liang Sun Si Wang Yiyuan Zhang Shanshan Yang Zunpeng Liu Zeming Wu Sheng Zhang Qiaoran Wang Aihua Zheng Shuguang Duo Yang Yu Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte Piu Chan Qi Zhou Moshi Song Weiqi Zhang Guang-Hui Liu | 2021 | Cell Research2021,31,4: | 10 |
| 5 | Single-Atom Catalysts for Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives显示文摘Hydrogen,a renewable and outstanding energy carrier with zero carbon dioxide emission,is regarded as the best alternative to fossil fuels.The most preferred route to large-scale production of hydrogen is by water electrolysis from the intermittent sources(e.g.,wind,solar,hydro,and tidal energy).However,the efficiency of water electrolysis is very much dependent on the activity of electrocatalysts.Thus,designing high-effective,stable,and cheap materials for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)could have a substantial impact on renewable energy technologies.Recently,single-atom catalysts(SACs)have emerged as a new frontier in catalysis science,because SACs have maximum atom-utilization efficiency and excellent catalytic reaction activity.Various synthesis methods and analytical techniques have been adopted to prepare and characterize these SACs.In this review,we discuss recent progress on SACs synthesis,characterization methods,and their catalytic applications.Particularly,we highlight their unique electrochemical characteristics toward HER.Finally,the current key challenges in SACs for HER are pointed out and some potential directions are proposed as well. | Zonghua Pu Ibrahim Saana Amiinu Ruilin Cheng Pengyan Wang Chengtian Zhang Shichun Mu Weiyue Zhao Fengmei Su Gaixia Zhang Shijun Liao Shuhui Sun | 2020 | Nano-Micro Letters2020,12,2: | 10 |
| 6 | Development and validation of an endoscopic images-based deep learning model for detection with nasopharyngeal malignancies显示文摘Background:Due to the occult anatomic location of the nasopharynx and frequent presence of adenoid hyperpla-sia,the positive rate for malignancy identification during biopsy is low,thus leading to delayed or missed diagnosis for nasopharyngeal malignancies upon initial attempt.Here,we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence tool to detect nasopharyngeal malignancies under endoscopic examination based on deep learning.Methods:An endoscopic images-based nasopharyngeal malignancy detection model(eNPM-DM)consisting of a fully convolutional network based on the inception architecture was developed and fine-tuned using separate training and validation sets for both classification and segmentation.Briefly,a total of 28,966 qualified images were collected.Among these images,27,536 biopsy-proven images from 7951 individuals obtained from January 1st,2008,to December 31st,2016,were split into the training,validation and test sets at a ratio of 7:1:2 using simple randomiza-tion.Additionally,1430 images obtained from January 1st,2017,to March 31st,2017,were used as a prospective test set to compare the performance of the established model against oncologist evaluation.The dice similarity coef-ficient(DSC)was used to evaluate the efficiency of eNPM-DM in automatic segmentation of malignant area from the background of nasopharyngeal endoscopic images,by comparing automatic segmentation with manual segmenta-tion performed by the experts.Results:All images were histopathologically confirmed,and included 5713(19.7%)normal control,19,107(66.0%)nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC),335(1.2%)NPC and 3811(13.2%)benign diseases.The eNPM-DM attained an overall accuracy of 88.7%(95%confidence interval(CI)87.8%-89.5%)in detecting malignancies in the test set.In the prospective comparison phase,eNPM-DM outperformed the experts:the overall accuracy was 88.0%(95%CI 86.1%-89.6%)vs.80.5%(95%CI 77.0%-84.0%).The eNPM-DM required less time(40 s vs.110.0±5.8 min)and exhibited encouraging performance in automatic segmentation of nasopharyngeal malignant area from the background,with an average DSC of 0.78±0.24 and 0.75±0.26 in the test and prospective test sets,respectively.Conclusions:The eNPM-DM outperformed oncologist evaluation in diagnostic classification of nasopharyngeal mass into benign versus malignant,and realized automatic segmentation of malignant area from the background of nasopharyngeal endoscopic images. | Chaofeng Li Bingzhong Jing Liangru Ke Bin Li Weixiong Xia Caisheng He Chaonan Qian Chong Zhao Haiqiang Mai Mingyuan Chen Kajia Cao Haoyuan Mo Ling Guo Qiuyan Chen Linquan Tang Wenze Qiu Yahui Yu Hu Liang Xinjun Huang Guoying Liu Wangzhong Li Lin Wang Rui Sun Xiong Zou Shanshan Guo Peiyu Huang Donghua Luo Fang Qiu Yishan Wu Yijun Hua Kuiyuan Liu Shuhui Lv Jingjing Miao Yanqun Xiang Ying Sun Xiang Guo Xing Lv | 2018 | Cancer Communications2018,38,1: | 9 |
| 7 | Modeling CADASIL vascular pathologies with patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells显示文摘Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy(CADASIL)is a rare hereditary cerebrovascular disease caused by a NOTCH3 mutation.However,the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain unidentified.Here,we generated non-integrative induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSCs)from fibroblasts of a CADASIL patient harboring a heterozygous NOTCH3 mutation(c.3226C>T,p.R1076C).Vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs)differentiated from CADASIL-specific iPSCs showed gene expression changes associated with disease phenotypes,including activation of the NOTCH and NF-kB signaling pathway,cytoskeleton disorganization,and excessive cell proliferation.In comparison,these abnormalities were not observed in vascular endothelial cells(VECs)derived from the patients iPSCs.Importantly,the abnormal upregulation of NF-kB target genes in CADASIL VSMCs was diminished by a NOTCH pathway inhibitor,providing a potential therapeutic strategy for CADASIL.Overall,using this iPSCbased disease model,our study identified clues for studying the pathogenic mechanisms of CADASIL and developing treatment strategies for this disease. | Chen Ling Zunpeng Liu Moshi Song Weiqi Zhang Si Wang Xiaoqian Liu Shuai Ma Shuhui Sun Lina Fu Qun Chu Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte Zhaoxia Wang Jing Qu Yun Yuan Guang-Hui Liu | 2019 | Protein & Cell2019,10,4: | 7 |
| 8 | Telomere-dependent and telomereindependent roles of RAP1 in regulating human stem cell homeostasis显示文摘RAP1 is a well-known telomere-binding protein, but its functions in human stem cells have remained unclea匚 Here we generated RAP1 -deficient human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) by using CRISPR/Cas9 technique and obtained RAP1-deficient human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and neural stem cells (hNSCs) via directed differentiation. In both hMSCs and hNSCs, RAP1 not only negatively regulated telomere length but also acted as a transcriptional regulator of RELN by tuning the methylation status of its gene promoter. RAP1 deficiency enhanced self-renewal and delayed senescence in hMSCs, but not in hNSCs, suggesting complicated lineage-specific effects of RAP1 in adult stem cells.Altogether, these results demonstrate for the first time that RAP1 plays both telomeric and nontelomeric roles in regulating human stem cell homeostasis. | Xing Zhang Zunpeng Liu Xiaoqian Liu Si Wang Yiyuan Zhang Xiaojuan He Shuhui Sun Shuai Ma Ng Shyh-Chang Feng Liu Qiang Wang Xiaoqun Wang Lin Liu Weiqi Zhang Moshi Song Guang-Hui Liu Jing Qu | 2019 | Protein & Cell2019,10,9: | 7 |

| 10 | Fucoxanthin Isolated from Undaria pinnatifida Can Interact with Escherichia coli and lactobacilli in the Intestine and Inhibit the Growth of Pathogenic Bacteria显示文摘Fucoxanthin is a xanthophyll-type carotenoid that provides many benefits to human health. However, the mechanism by which fucoxanthin interacts with microbes and inhibits pathogenic bacteria is unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of fucoxanthin isolated from the edible seaweed Undaria pinnatifida on pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and lactobacilli both in vitro and in vivo. Fucoxanthin strongly inhibited the growth of Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria but was less effective against Gram-negative bacteria. Fucoxanthin extracted from the crude mixture had a recovery rate of 93.38% and a purity of 82.70%, which were higher than those of fucoxanthin extracted using a previous method. Fucoxanthin also promoted the growth of intestinal mi- crobes in mice. Fucoxanthinol, a metabolite of fucoxanthin, was generated in the culture media. Fucoxanthin can be deacetylated into fucoxanthinol not only by conventional digestive enzymes in the digestive tract, but also by E. coli and lactobacilli in the intestine. These results indicate that fucoxanthin interacts with and influences E. coli and lactobacilli in the intestine. Therefore, fucoxanthin isolated from Undaria pinnatifida possibly can be applied in human health maintenance. | LIU Zonglin SUN Xiaowen SUN Xun WANG Shuhui XU Ying | 2019 | Journal of Ocean University of China2019,18,4: | 5 |
| 11 | Single-nucleus transcriptomic landscape of primate hippocampal aging显示文摘The hippocampus plays a crucial role in learning and memory,and its progressive deterioration with age is functionally linked to a variety of human neurodegenerative diseases.Yet a systematic profiling of the aging effects on various hippocampal cell types in primates is still missing.Here,we reported a variety of new aging-associated phenotypic changes of the primate hippocampus.These include,in particular,increased DNA damage and heterochromatin erosion with time,alongside loss of proteostasis and elevated inflammation.To understand their cellular and molecular causes,we established the first single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of primate hippocampal aging.Among the 12 identified cell types,neural transiently amplifying progenitor cell(TAPC)and microglia were most affected by aging.In-depth dissection of gene-expression dynamics revealed impaired TAPC division and compromised neuronal function along the neurogenesis trajectory;additionally elevated pro-inflammatory responses in the aged microglia and oligodendrocyte,as well as dysregulated coagulation pathways in the aged endothelial cells may contribute to a hostile microenvironment for neurogenesis.This rich resource for understanding primate hippocampal aging may provide potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic interventions against age-related neurodegenerative diseases. | Hui Zhang Jiaming Li Jie Ren Shuhui Sun Shuai Ma Weiqi Zhang Yang Yu Yusheng Cai Kaowen Yan Wei Li Baoyang Hu Piu Chan Guo-Guang Zhao Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte Qi Zhou Jing Qu Si Wang Guang-Hui Liu | 2021 | Protein & Cell2021,12,9: | 5 |
| 12 | Whole Genome Analyses of Chinese Population and De Novo Assembly of A Northern Han Genome显示文摘To unravel the genetic mechanisms of disease and physiological traits,it requires comprehensive sequencing analysis of large sample size in Chinese populations.Here,we report the primary results of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Precision Medicine Initiative(CASPMI)project launched by the Chinese Academy of Sciences,including the de novo assembly of a northern Han reference genome(NH1.0)and whole genome analyses of 597 healthy people coming from most areas in China.Given the two existing reference genomes for Han Chinese(YH and HX1)were both from the south,we constructed NH1.0,a new reference genome from a northern individual,by combining the sequencing strategies of PacBio,10×Genomics,and Bionano mapping.Using this integrated approach,we obtained an N50 scaffold size of 46.63 Mb for the NH1.0 genome and performed a comparative genome analysis of NH1.0 with YH and HX1.In order to generate a genomic variation map of Chinese populations,we performed the whole-genome sequencing of 597 participants and identified 24.85 million(M)single nucleotide variants(SNVs),3.85 M small indels,and 106,382 structural variations.In the association analysis with collected phenotypes,we found that the T allele of rs1549293 in KAT8 significantly correlated with the waist circumference in northern Han males.Moreover,significant genetic diversity in MTHFR,TCN2,FADS1,and FADS2,which associate with circulating folate,vitamin B12,or lipid metabolism,was observed between northerners and southerners.Especially,for the homocysteine-increasing allele of rs1801133(MTHFR 677T),we hypothesize that there exists a “comfort”zone for a high frequency of 677T between latitudes of 35–45 degree North.Taken together,our results provide a high-quality northern Han reference genome and novel population-specific data sets of genetic variants for use in the personalized and precision medicine. | Zhenglin Du Liang Ma Hongzhu Qu Wei Chen Bing Zhang Xi Lu Weibo Zhai Xin Sheng Yongqiao Sun Wenjie Li Meng Lei Qiuhui Qi Na Yuan Shuo Shi Jingyao Zeng Jinyue Wang Yadong Yang Qi Liu Yaqiang Hong Lili Dong Zhewen Zhang Dong Zou Yanqing Wang Shuhui Song Fan Liu Xiangdong Fang Hua Chen Xin Liu Jingfa Xiao Changqing Zeng | 2019 | Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics2019,17,3: | 4 |
| 13 | Interface Engineering of NixSy@MnOxHy Nanorods to Efficiently Enhance Overall-Water-Splitting Activity and Stability显示文摘Exploring highly active and stable transition metal-based bifunctional electrocatalysts has recently attracted extensive research interests for achieving high inherent activity, abundant exposed active sites, rapid mass transfer, and strong structure stability for overall water splitting. Herein, an interface engineering coupled with shell-protection strategy was applied to construct three-dimensional(3D) core-shell NixSy@MnOxHy heterostructure nanorods grown on nickel foam(NixSy@MnOxHy/NF) as a bifunctional electrocatalyst. NixSy@MnOxHy/NF was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction followed by an electrodeposition process. The X-ray absorption fine structure spectra reveal that abundant Mn-S bonds connect the heterostructure interfaces of N ixSy@MnOxHy, leading to a strong electronic interaction, which improves the intrinsic activities of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction(OER). Besides, as an efficient protective shell, the MnOxHy dramatically inhibits the electrochemical corrosion of the electrocatalyst at high current densities, which remarkably enhances the stability at high potentials. Furthermore, the 3D nanorod structure not only exposes enriched active sites, but also accelerates the electrolyte diffusion and bubble desorption. Therefore, NixSy@MnOxHy/NF exhibits exceptional bifunctional activity and stability for overall water splitting, with low overpotentials of 326 and 356 mV for OER at 100 and 500 mA cm^(–2), respectively, along with high stability of 150 h at 100 mA cm^(–2). Furthermore, for overall water splitting, it presents a low cell voltage of 1.529 V at 10 mA cm^(–2), accompanied by excellent stability at 100 mA cm^(–2) for 100 h. This work sheds a light on exploring highly active and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts by the interface engineering coupled with shell-protection strategy. | Pan Wang Yuanzhi Luo Gaixia Zhang Zhangsen Chen Hariprasad Ranganathan Shuhui Sun Zhicong Shi | 2022 | Nano-Micro Letters2022,14,7: | 4 |
| 14 | The critical role of inorganic nanofillers in solid polymer composite electrolyte for Li+transportation显示文摘Compared with commercial lithium batteries with liquid electrolytes,all-solidstate lithium batteries(ASSLBs)possess the advantages of higher safety,better electrochemical stability,higher energy density,and longer cycle life;therefore,ASSLBs have been identified as promising candidates for next-generation safe and stable high-energy-storage devices.The design and fabrication of solid-state electrolytes(SSEs)are vital for the future commercialization of ASSLBs.Among various SSEs,solid polymer composite electrolytes(SPCEs)consisting of inorganic nanofillers and polymer matrix have shown great application prospects in the practice of ASSLBs.The incorporation of inorganic nanofillers into the polymer matrix has been considered as a crucial method to achieve high ionic conductivity for SPCE.In this review,the mechanisms of Li+transport variation caused by incorporating inorganic nanofillers into the polymer matrix are discussed in detail.On the basis of the recent progress,the respective contributions of polymer chains,passive ceramic nanofillers,and active ceramic nanofillers in affecting the Li+transport process of SPCE are reviewed systematically.The inherent relationship between the morphological characteristics of inorganic nanofillers and the ionic conductivity of the resultant SPCE is discussed.Finally,the challenges and future perspectives for developing high-performance SPCE are put forward.This review aims to provide possible strategies for the further improvement of ionic conductivity in inorganic nanoscale filler-reinforced SPCE and highlight their inspiration for future research directions. | Zhichuan Shen Yifeng Cheng Shuhui Sun Xi Ke Liying Liu Zhicong Shi | 2021 | Carbon Energy2021,3,3: | 4 |
| 15 | Effects of samarium content on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–0.5Zn–0.5Zr alloy显示文摘Effects of samarium (Sm) content (0, 2.0, 3.5, 5.0, 6.5 wt%) on microstructure and mechanical proper-ties of Mg-0.5Zn-0.5 Zr alloy under as-cast and as-extruded states were thoroughly investigated. Results indicate that grains of the as-cast alloys are gradually refined as Sm content increases. The dominant intermetallic ph^se changes from Mg3Sm to Mg4iSm5 till Sm content exceeds 5.0 wt%. The dynami-cally precipitated intermetallic phase during hot-extrusion in dll Sm-containing alloys is Mg3Sm. The intermetallic particles induced by Sm addition could act as heterogeneous nucleation sites for dynamic recrystallization during hot extrusion. They promoted dynamic recrystallization via the particle stim-ulated nucleation mechanism, and resulted in weakening the basal texture in the as-extruded alloys. Sm addition can significantly enhance the strength of the as-extruded Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Zr alloy at room temperature, with the optimal dosage of 3.5 wt%. The optimal yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) are 368 MPa and 383 MPa, which were enhanced by approximately 23.1% and 20.8% com-pared with the Sm-free alloy, respectively. Based on microstructural analysis, the dominant strengthening mechanisms are revealed to be grain boundary strengthening and dispersion strengthening. | Kai Guan Fanzhi Meng Pengfei Qin Qiang Yang Dongdong Zhang Baishun Li Wei Sun Shuhui Lv Yuanding Huang Norbert Hort Jian Meng | 2019 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2019,35,7: | 4 |

| 17 | Graphitic‐shell encapsulated FeNi alloy/nitride nanocrystals on biomass‐derived N‐doped carbon as an efficient electrocatalyst for rechargeable Zn‐air battery显示文摘Oxygen reduction/evolution reactions(ORR/OERs)catalysts play a key role in the metal‐air battery and water‐splitting process.Herein,we developed a facile template‐free method to fabricate a new type of non–noble metal‐based hybrid catalyst which consists of binary FeNi alloy/nitride nanocrystals with graphitic‐shell and biomass‐derived N‐doped carbon(NC)(FexNiyN@C/NC).This novel nanostructure exhibits superior performance for ORR/OER,which can be attributed to the strong interactions between the graphitic‐shell encapsulated FeNi alloy/nitride nanocrystals and the N‐doped porous carbon substrate.The X‐ray absorption spectroscopy technique was employed to reveal the underlying mechanisms for the excellent performance.The assembled Zn‐air battery device exhibits outstanding charging/discharging performance and cycling stability,indicating the great potential of this type of novel catalysts. | Mingjie Wu Gaixia Zhang Yongfeng Hu Jian Wang Tianxiao Sun Tom Regier Jinli Qiao Shuhui Sun | 2021 | Carbon Energy2021,3,1: | 4 |
| 18 | Mobility in China,2020:a tale of four phases显示文摘2020 was an unprecedented year;with rapid and drastic changes in human mobility due to the COVID-19 pandemic.To understand the variation in commuting patterns among the Chinese population across stable and unstable periods,we used nationwide mobility data from 318 million mobile phone users in China to examine the extreme fluctuations of population movements in 2020,ranging from the Lunar New Year travel season(chunyun),to the exceptional calm of COVID-19 lockdown,and then to the recovery period.We observed that cross-city movements;which increased substantially in chunyun and then dropped sharply during the lockdown,are primarily dependent on travel distance and the socio-economic development of cities.Following the Lunar New Year holiday,national mobility remained low until mid-February,and COVID-19 interventions delayed more than 72.89 million people returning to large cities.Mobility network analysis revealed clusters of highly connected cities,conforming to the social-economic division of urban agglomerations in China.While the mass migration back to large cities was delayed,smaller cities connected more densely to form new clusters.During the recovery period after travel restrictions were lifted,the netflows of over 55%city pairs reversed in direction compared to before the lockdown.These findings offer the most comprehensive picture of Chinese mobility at fine resolution across various scenarios in China and are of critical importance for decision making regarding future public-health-emergency response,transportation planning and regional economic development,among others. | Suoyi Tan Shengjie Lai Fan Fang Ziqiang Cao Bin Sai Bing Song Bitao Dai Shuhui Guo Chuchu Liu Mengsi Cai Tong Wang Mengning Wang Jiaxu Li Saran Chen Shuo Qin Jessica R.Floyd Zhidong Cao Jing Tan Xin Sun Tao Zhou Wei Zhang Andrew J.Tatem Petter Holme Xiaohong Chen Xin Lu | 2021 | National Science Review2021,8,11: | 3 |
| 19 | Deficient Rnf43 potentiates hyperactive Kras-mediated pancreatic preneoplasia initiation and malignant transformation显示文摘Background:Largely due to incidental detection,asymptomatic pancreatic cystic le-sions(PCLs)have become prevalent in recent years.Among them,intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN)infrequently advances to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC).Conservative surveillance versus surgical intervention is a difficult clinical decision for both caregivers and PCL patients.Because RNF43 loss-of-function mutations and KRAS gain-of-function mutations concur in a subset of IPMN and PDAC,their biological significance and therapeutic potential should be elucidated.Methods:Pancreatic Rnf43 knockout and Kras activated mice(Rnf43^(−/−);Kras^(G12D))were generated to evaluate their clinical significance in pancreatic pre-neoplastic initiation and malignant transformation.Results:Loss of Rnf43 potentiated the occurrence and severity of IPMN and PDAC in oncogenic Kras mice.The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was activated in pan-creatic Kras^(G12D)and Rnf43 knockout mice and the PORCN inhibitor LGK974 blocked pancreatic IPMN initiation and progression to PDAC accordingly.Conclusions:Rnf43 is a tumor suppressor in the prevention of pancreatic malignant transformation.This genetically reconstituted autochthonous pancreatic Rnf43^(−/−);Kras^(G12D)preclinical cancer model recapitulates the pathological process from pancreatic cyst to cancer in humans and can be treated with inhibitors of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.Since the presence of RNF43 and KRAS mutations in IPMNs predicts future development of advanced neoplasia from PCLs,patients with these genetic anomalies warrant surveillance,surgery,and/or targeted therapeutics such as Wnt/β-catenin inhibitors. | Xian Zhou Zhichao Sun Mengdi Zhang Xiaoyu Qu Shuhui Yang Lianmei Wang Yanling Jing Li Li Weiwei Deng Fangming Liu Jin Di Jie Chen Jian Wu Hongbing Zhang | 2022 | Animal Models and Experimental Medicine2022,5,1: | 3 |
| 20 | Growth kinetics of hydrate formation from water–hydrocarbon system显示文摘Gas hydrates have drawn global attentions in the past decades as potential energy resources.It should be noted that there are a variety of possible applications of hydrate-based technologies,including natural gas storage,gas transportation,separation of gas mixture,and seawater desalination.These applications have been critically challenged by insufficient understanding of hydrate formation kinetics.In this work,the literatures on growth kinetic behaviors of hydrate formation from water-hydrocarbon were systematically reviewed.The hydrate crystal growth,hydrate film growth and macroscopic hydrate formation in water system were reviewed,respectively.Firstly,the hydrate crystal growth was analyzed with respect to different positions,such as gas/liquid interface,liquid–liquid interface and gas–liquid–liquid system.Secondly,experimental and modeling studies on the growth of hydrate film at the interfaces between guest phase and water phase were categorized into two groups of lateral growth and thickening growth considering the differences in growth rates.Thirdly,we summarized the promoters and inhibitors reported(biological or chemical,liquid or solid and hydrophobic or hydrophilic)and analyzed the mechanisms affecting hydrate formation in bulk water system.Knowledge gaps and suggestions for further studies on hydrate formation kinetic behaviors are presented. | Youhong Sun Shuhui Jiang Shengli Li Guobiao Zhang Wei Guo | 2019 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2019,27,9: | 3 |
