| 1 | Natural history of covert hepatic encephalopathy: An observational study of 366 cirrhotic patients显示文摘AIM To explore the natural history of covert hepatic encephalopathy(CHE) in absence of medication intervention.METHODS Consecutive outpatient cirrhotic patients in a Chinese tertiary care hospital were enrolled and evaluated for CHE diagnosis. They were followed up for a mean of 11.2 ± 1.3 mo. Time to the first cirrhosis-related complications requiring hospitalization, including overt HE(OHE), resolution of CHE and death/transplantation, were compared between CHE and no-CHE patients. Predictors for complication(s) and death/transplantation were also analyzed.RESULTS A total of 366 patients(age: 47.2 ± 8.6 years, male: 73.0%) were enrolled. CHE was identified in 131 patients(35.8%). CHE patients had higher rates of death and incidence of complications requiring hospitalization, including OHE, compared to unimpaired patients. Moreover, 17.6% of CHE patients developed OHE, 42.0% suffered persistent CHE, and 19.8% of CHE spontaneously resolved. In CHE patients, serum albumin < 30 g/L(HR = 5.22, P = 0.03) was the sole predictor for developing OHE, and blood creatinine > 133 μmol/L(HR = 4.75, P = 0.036) predicted mortality. Child-Pugh B/C(HR = 0.084, P < 0.001) and OHE history(HR = 0.15, P = 0.014) were predictors of spontaneous resolution of CHE.CONCLUSION CHE exacerbates, persists or resolves without medication intervention in clinically stable cirrhosis. Triage of patients based on these predictors will allow for more cost-effect management of CHE. | An-Jiang Wang A-Ping Peng Bi-Min Li Na Gan Li Pei Xue-Lian Zheng Jun-Bo Hong Hai-Ying Xiao Jia-Wei Zhong Xuan Zhu | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,34: | 22 |
| 2 | Lp-PLA2 inhibition prevents Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiac inflammation and fibrosis by blocking macrophage NLRP3 inflammasome activation显示文摘Macrophage-mediated inflammation plays an important role in hypertensive cardiac remodeling,whereas effective pharmacological treatments targeting cardiac inflammation remain unclear.Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2)contributes to vascular inflammation-related diseases by mediating macrophage migration and activation.Darapladib,the most advanced Lp-PLA2 inhibitor,has been evaluated in phase Ⅲ trials in atherosclerosis patients.However,the role of darapladib in inhibiting hypertensive cardiac fibrosis remains unknown.Using a murine angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)infusion-induced hypertension model,we found that Pla2g7(the gene of Lp-PLA2)was the only upregulated PLA2 gene detected in hypertensive cardiac tissue,and it was primarily localized in heart-infiltrating macrophages.As expected,darapladib significantly prevented Ang Ⅱ-induced cardiac fibrosis,ventricular hypertrophy,and cardiac dysfunction,with potent abatement of macrophage infiltration and inflammatory response.RNA sequencing revealed that darapladib strongly downregulated the expression of genes and signaling pathways related to inflammation,extracellular matrix,and proliferation.Moreover,darapladib substantially reduced the Ang Ⅱ infusion-induced expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor with pyrin domain 3(NLRP3)and interleukin(IL)-1β and markedly attenuated caspase-1 activation in cardiac tissues.Furthermore,darapladib ameliorated Ang Ⅱ-stimulated macrophage migration and IL-1β secretion in macrophages by blocking NLRP3 inflammasome activation.Darapladib also effectively blocked macrophage-mediated transformation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts by inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages.Overall,our study identifies a novel anti-inflammatory and anti-cardiac fibrosis role of darapladib in Lp-PLA2 inhibition,elucidating the protective effects of suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation.Lp-PLA2 inhibition by darapladib represents a novel therapeutic strategy for hypertensive cardiac damage treatment. | Si-lin Lv Zi-fan Zeng Wen-qiang Gan Wei-qi Wang Tie-gang Li Yu-fang Hou Zheng Yan Ri-xin Zhang Min Yang | 2021 | Acta Pharmacologica Sinica2021,42,12: | 21 |
| 3 | Antigen-specific tolerance induced by IL-10 gene modified immature dendritic cells in experimental autoimmune myocarditis in rats显示文摘Background Experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in rats is a T-cell-mediated disorder. The initiation and maintenance of autoimmune responses in EAM depend on the maturation state of dendritic cells. IL-10 is a pleiotrophic immunomodulatory cytokine that functions at different levels of the immune response, so it has emerged as a promising therapeutic factor for the treatment of autoimmune/inflammatory diseases. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that IL-10 gene modified bone marrow-derived immature dendritic cells (iDCs) ameliorate EAM and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods EAM was induced using the methods of cardiac myosin immunization on day 0 and day 7. Immature and mature bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were generated without or with the stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the phenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry. Some of the iDCs were transfected by pcDNA3-IL-10 plasmid. 2×106/per rat mature DC (mDC), immature DC (iDC), pcDNA3 transfected iDC, pcDNA3-IL-10 transfected iDC or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) were injected intravenously for treatment 5 days after the first immunization. On day 21, HE staining was performed to detect the myocardial inflammation and T lymphocyte proliferation assay was used to determine the effects of IL-10 gene transfected iDC on autoreactive T cell proliferation. Expression of IκB, the inhibitor of NF-κB pathway, was determined by Western blot. Results BMDCs generated in a medium supplemented with granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were relatively immature, as determined by flow cytometry. However, stimulation with LPS induced these cells to become mature (m)DCs with higher levels of surface major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-II and costimulatory molecules. Intravenous administration of iDCs, especially pcDNA3-IL-10 transfected iDC, ameliorated the histopathological severity of the myosin induced-EAM, and the effect was lost after the DCs underwent maturation induced by in vitro exposure to LPS. IL-10 gene modified iDC inhibited the antigen specific T cell responses towards cardiac myosin. IκB protein was up-regulated significantly in the IL-10 gene modified iDC group. Conclusions IL-10 gene modified iDC induced antigen-specific tolerance in EAM. The underlying mechanisms may be related to costimulatory molecules down-regulation and NF-κB pathway inhibition. | LI Wei-min LIU Wei GAO Cheng ZHOU Bao-guo YANG Shu-sen WANG Zheng ZHANG Rui-hong GAN Run-tao KONG Yi-hui LI Yue | 2006 | Chinese Medical Journal2006,,19: | 13 |
| 4 | Changing Proportions of HIV-1 Subtypes and Transmitted Drug Resistance Among Newly Diagnosed HIV/AIDS Individuals—China,2015 and 2018显示文摘Introduction:With the expansion of human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)antiretroviral therapy(ART),HIV drug resistance is becoming more and more serious.This study describes the changing prevalence of HIV-1 subtypes and transmitted drug resistance(TDR)among newly diagnosed individuals in China,2015 and 2018.Methods:A total of 8,980 individuals in 2015 and 2018 from 31 provincial-level administrative divisions(PLADs)were enrolled in this study.Viral RNAs were amplified and sequenced using an in-house polymerase chain reaction(PCR)protocol.The Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database(HIVdb)was used to predict susceptibility to 12 antiretroviral drugs.Results:The prevalence of TDR was not significantly increased over time.The prevalence of TDR was 3.8%and 4.4%in 2015 and 2018,respectively(P=0.13).The prevalence of CRF55_01B increased from 2.3%in 2015 to 3.9%in 2018(P<0.001).The drug resistance prevalence of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NNRTI)increased from 2.4%in 2015 to 3.3%in 2018(P<0.01).The prevalence of E138(P<0.001),H221(P=0.03),and V179(P<0.001)mutations increased from 0.30%,0.09%,and 0.70%in 2015 to 1.10%,0.30%,and 1.70%in 2018,respectively.Conclusions:HIV drug resistance affects the effect of antiretroviral treatment,so the monitoring of HIV TDR should be strengthened to control the transmission of HIV drug resistance. | Jingjing Hao Shan Zheng Mengze Gan Aobo Dong Ruihua Kang Miaomiao Li Shuai Zhao Jing Hu Chang Song Lingjie Liao Yi Feng Yiming Shao Yuhua Ruan Hui Xing | 2021 | China CDC weekly2021,3,53: | 13 |
| 5 | Molecular organic geochemical peculiarities of lacustrine core sediments in Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica显示文摘The peculiarities of lipids in lacustrine core sediments from Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica, are reported. The origin of high-molecular-weight n-alkanes, alkenes, fatty acids, alcohols is supposed to be related to the abundant moss occurring in the sediments. Abundant iso- and ante/so-fatty acids that occur in the sediments indicate a relatively strong bacterial activity in non-ice-cover zone than in other regions in Antarctica. The C18:2 unsaturated fatty acids mainly originate from autochthonous algae in the sediment pool, and the C18:2/C18:0 ratios in the profile are controlled more by paleotemperatures than source assemblies. Long-chain alkenones were identified in freshwater lacustrine sediment in Antarctica for the first time, of which Prymnesiophyceae is assumed to be the source organism. High relative abundance of C37:4 homologue in long-chain alkenone well correlates to the severely cold climate in Antarctica. | ZHANG Gan SHENG Guoying PENG Ping’an ZHENG Honghan | 2000 | Chinese Science Bulletin2000,45,S1: | 13 |
| 6 | Short-term entecavir versus lamivudine therapy for HBeAg-negative patients with acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure显示文摘BACKGROUND: Selection of drugs for antiviral therapy of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) remains difficult. This study was undertaken to evaluate the short-term efficacy of entecavir versus lamivudine on hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative patients with ACLF. METHODS: The data of 182 HBeAg-negative patients with ACLF were retrospectively collected from patient profiles of the hospital. In these patients, 93 HBeAg-negative patients with ACLF were treated orally with 0.5 mg of entecavir and 89 were treated orally with 100 mg of lamivudine every day. The gender and age were matched between the two groups. Biochemical items, the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and HBV DNA level were matched at baseline between the two groups and monitored during treatment. The 3-month mortalities of the two groups were compared. RESULTS: No significant differences were found in biochemical items, MELD score, and HBV DNA level at baseline (P>0.05). HBV DNA level decreased within 3 months in both groups (P<0.05), regardless of the pretreatment MELD score. In patients with the same range of pretreatment MELD scores, treatment duration, posttreatment HBV DNA levels, percentage of HBV DNA level <2.7 lg copies/mL, biochemical items, MELD scores and 3-month mortality were similar in the two groups (all P>0.05). Pretreatment MELD score was not related to posttreatment HBV DNA levels (P>0.05), but related to a 3-month mortality in both groups (both P<0.001).CONCLUSIONS: In HBeAg-negative patients with ACLF, the short-term efficacy of entecavir versus lamivudine was similar. The degree of pretreatment liver failure significantly affected the outcome of treatment. | Jing Lai Ying Yan Li Mai Yu-Bao Zheng Wei-Qiang Gan Wei-Min Ke | 2013 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2013,12,2: | 12 |
| 7 | Seasonal dynamics of water bloom-forming Microcystis morphospecies and the associated extracellular microcystin concentrations in large,shallow,eutrophic Dianchi Lake显示文摘The increasing occurrence of Microcystis blooms is of great concern to public health and ecosystem due to the potential hepatotoxic microcystins(MCs)produced by these colonial cyanobacteria.In order to interpret the relationships between variations of Microcystis morphospecies and extracellular MC concentrations,the seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton community composition,MC concentrations,and environmental parameters were monitored monthly from August,2009 to July,2010.The results indicated that Microcystis dominated total phytoplankton abundance from May to December(96%–99%of total biovolume),with toxic Microcystis viridis and non-toxic Microcystis wesenbergii dominating after July(constituting 65%–95%of the Microcystis population),followed by M.viridis as the sole dominant species from November to January(49%–93%).Correlation analysis revealed that water temperature and nutrient were the most important variables accounting for the occurrence of M.wesenbergii,while the dominance of M.viridis was related with nitrite and nitrate.The relatively low content of MCs was explained by the association with a large proportion of M.viridis and M.wesenbergii,small colony size of Microcystis populations,and low water temperature,pH and dissolved oxygen.The extracellular MC(mean of 0.5±0.2μg/L)of water samples analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)demonstrated the low concentrations of MC in Dianchi Lake which implied the low potential risk for human health in the basin.The survey provides the first whole lake study of the occurrence and seasonal variability of Microcystis population and extracellular MCs that are of particular interest for water quality monitoring and management. | Yanlong Wu Lin Li Nanqin Gan Lingling Zheng Haiyan Ma Kun Shan Jin Liu Bangding Xiao Lirong Song | 2014 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2014,26,9: | 12 |

| 10 | Deep learning applied to two-dimensional color Doppler flow imaging ultrasound images significantly improves diagnostic performance in the classification of breast masses:a multicenter study显示文摘Background:The current deep learning diagnosis of breast masses is mainly reflected by the diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions.In China,breast masses are divided into four categories according to the treatment method:inflammatory masses,adenosis,benign tumors,and malignant tumors.These categorizations are important for guiding clinical treatment.In this study,we aimed to develop a convolutional neural network(CNN)for classification of these four breast mass types using ultrasound(US)images.Methods:Taking breast biopsy or pathological examinations as the reference standard,CNNs were used to establish models for the four-way classification of 3623 breast cancer patients from 13 centers.The patients were randomly divided into training and test groups(n=1810 vs.n=1813).Separate models were created for two-dimensional(2D)images only,2D and color Doppler flow imaging(2D-CDFI),and 2D-CDFI and pulsed wave Doppler(2D-CDFI-PW)images.The performance of these three models was compared using sensitivity,specificity,area under receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),positive(PPV)and negative predictive values(NPV),positive(LR+)and negative likelihood ratios(LR-),and the performance of the 2D model was further compared between masses of different sizes with above statistical indicators,between images from different hospitals with AUC,and with the performance of 37 radiologists.Results:The accuracies of the 2D,2D-CDFI,and 2D-CDFI-PW models on the test set were 87.9%,89.2%,and 88.7%,respectively.The AUCs for classification of benign tumors,malignant tumors,inflammatory masses,and adenosis were 0.90,0.91,0.90,and 0.89,respectively(95%confidence intervals[CIs],0.87-0.91,0.89-0.92,0.87-0.91,and 0.86-0.90).The 2D-CDFI model showed better accuracy(89.2%)on the test set than the 2D(87.9%)and 2D-CDFI-PW(88.7%)models.The 2D model showed accuracy of 81.7%on breast masses≤1 cm and 82.3%on breast masses>1 cm;there was a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.001).The accuracy of the CNN classifications for the test set(89.2%)was significantly higher than that of all the radiologists(30%).Conclusions:The CNN may have high accuracy for classification of US images of breast masses and perform significantly better than human radiologists.Trial registration:Chictr.org,ChiCTR1900021375;http://gffzz62a03ee25e6f4a77hk5pfbo9of9bv69n5.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=33139. | Teng-Fei Yu Wen He Cong-Gui Gan Ming-Chang Zhao Qiang Zhu Wei Zhang Hui Wang Yu-Kun Luo Fang Nie Li-Jun Yuan Yong Wang Yan-Li Guo Jian-Jun Yuan Li-Tao Ruan Yi-Cheng Wang Rui-Fang Zhang Hong-Xia Zhang Bin Ning Hai-Man Song Shuai Zheng Yi Li Yang Guang | 2021 | Chinese Medical Journal2021,,4: | 11 |
| 11 | Global absorption center map of the mafic minerals on the Moon as viewed by CE-1 IIM data显示文摘Determining the global distribution of minerals on the Moon has been an important goal of lunar science. Hyperspectral remote sensing is an important approach to acquiring minerals on the Moon on the global scale. The wavelength of the absorption band center is the key parameter for identifying minerals with reflectance spectra as well as remote sensing data. The global absorption center map of the mafic minerals of the Moon was produced for the first time with the Chang’E-1 IIM data. This map shows the global distribution of mafic minerals such as orthopyroxenes, clinopyroxenes, and olivine and even plagioclase feldspar of the Moon. The validation for some representative areas indicates that the global map is reliable and even more detailed than the results derived from Clementine-data. Moreover, our method is insensitive to the topography and viewing and illumination geometries. The global absorption band center map not only contributes to the lunar science research, but also has other implications to be further studied. Moreover, the preprocessing methods such as calibration and correction introduced in this study can be useful in other research with IIM data. | WU YunZhao 1,4* , ZHANG Xia 2 , YAN BoKun 3 , GAN FuPing 3 , TANG ZeSheng 4 , XU AoAo 4 , ZHENG YongChun 5 & ZOU YongLiao 5 1 School of Geographic and Oceanographic Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210093, China 2 Institute of Remote Sensing Applications, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China 3 Institute for Remote Sensing Method, China Aero Geophysical Survey and Remote Sensing Center for Land and Resources, Beijing 100083, China 4 Collaborative Research Laboratory on Lunar and Planetary Exploration, Macao University of Science and Technology, Taipa, Macao, China 5 National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100012, China | 2010 | Science China(Physics,Mechanics & Astronomy)2010,53,12: | 11 |
| 12 | An efficient methodology for utilization of K-feldspar and phosphogypsum with reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions显示文摘The issues of reducing CO_2 emissions, sustainably utilizing natural mineral resources, and dealing with industrial waste offer challenges for sustainable development in energy and the environment. We propose an efficient methodology via the co-reaction of K-feldspar and phosphogypsum for the extraction of soluble potassium salts and recovery of SO_2 with reduced CO_2 emission and energy consumption. The results of characterization and reactivity evaluation indicated that the partial melting of K-feldspar and phosphogypsum in the hightemperature co-reaction significantly facilitated the reduction of phosphogypsum to SO_2 and the exchange of K^+(K-feldspar) with Ca^(2+)(CaSO_4 in phosphogypsum). The reaction parameters were systematically investigated with the highest sulfur recovery ratio of ~ 60% and K extraction ratio of ~ 87.7%. This novel methodology possesses an energy consumption reduction of ~ 28% and CO_2 emission reduction of ~ 55% comparing with the present typical commercial technologies for utilization of K-feldspar and the treatment of phosphogypsum. | Zhixi Gan Zheng Cui Hairong Yue Siyang Tang Changjun Liu Chun Li Bin Liang Heping Xie | 2016 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2016,24,11: | 11 |
| 13 | effective treatment of post-intubation subglottic stenosis in children with holmium laser therapy and cryotherapy via flexible bronchoscopy显示文摘Importance:Post-intubation subglottic stenosis(SGS)in children can be life threatening.Definitive treatment varies and lacks a universally accepted approach.Objective:We performed a prospective study to assess the safety and feasibility of holmium laser combined with cryotherapy delivered via flexible bronchoscopy for the treatment of post-intubation SGS in children.Methods:This study involved all patients with post-intubation SGS seen at the Interventional Pulmonology Department of Beijing Children's Hospital between July 2014 and December 2016.Holmium laser treatment and cryotherapy was then performed under flexible bronchoscopy,whose parents refused to accept the alternative standard treatment of tracheotomy and balloon dilation under direct laryngoscopy.results:Sixteen patients with post-intubation SGS were included in this study.Ages ranged from 2 months to 12.25 years old.According to the Cotton-Myer grading system,three cases were Grade II,12 cases were Grade III,and one case was Grade IV.According to the McCaffrey system,eight cases were Stage 1,two cases were Stage 2,and six cases were Stage 3.The average number of procedures was 4.88.Fifteen of the 16 patients achieved clinical cure.One patient achieved clinical improvement.The average treatment course duration was 55.31 days.No severe complications were seen.Post-treatment clinical symptoms,endoscopic findings and quality of life showed marked improvement.Interpretation:Our study supports the conclusion that holmium laser treatment combined with cryotherapy via flexible bronchoscopy appears to be a safe and feasible treatment for post-intubation SGS in children. | Anxia Jiao Fang Liu Andrew D.Lerner Xiaochun Rao Yan Guo Chenfang Meng Yuena Pan Gan Li Zheng Li Fang Wang Jing Zhao Yuyan Ma Xicheng Liu Xin Ni Kunling Shen | 2019 | Pediatric Investigation2019,3,1: | 10 |
| 14 | Involvement of the Mitochondrion-dependent and the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-signaling Pathways in Isoliquiritigenin-induced Apoptosis of HeLa Cell显示文摘Objective Isoliquiritigenin(ISL),a licorice chalconoid,is considered to be a bioactive agent with chemopreventive potential.This study investigates the mechanisms involved in ISL-induced apoptosis in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells.Methods Cell viability was evaluated using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide(MTT)assay.Apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry using an Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit.The intracellular ROS levels were assessed using a 2,7-dichlorofluorescein probe assay.The mitochondrial membrane potential was measured with the dual-emission potential-sensitive probe 5,5',6,6'-tetra-chloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl-imidacarbocyanine iodide(JC-1).The degradation of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase(PARP)protein,the phosphorylation of PKR-like ER kinase(PERK),the phosphorylation of the α-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2(eIF2α),the expression of the 78 kD glucose-regulated protein(GRP 78),and the activation of caspase-12 were analyzed via western blot analysis.Results ISL significantly inhibited the proliferation,the increase in ROS levels and apoptotic rates of HeLa cells in a concentration-dependent manner.Moreover,ISL induced mitochondrial dysfunction,caspase activation,and PARP cleavage,which displayed features of mitochondria dependent on apoptotic signals.Besides,exposure of HeLa cells to ISL triggered endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress,as indicated by the increase in p-eIF2α and GRP78 expression,ER stress-dependent apoptosis is caused by the activation of ER-specific caspase-12.Conclusion The findings from our study suggest that ISL-induced oxidative stress causes HeLa cell apoptosis via the mitochondrion-dependent and the ER stress-triggered signaling pathways. | YUAN Xuan ZHANG Bo GAN Lu WANG Zhen Hua YU Ba Cui LIU Liang Liang ZHENG Qiu Sheng WANGZhi Ping | 2013 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2013,26,4: | 8 |
| 15 | Measurement of boiling heat transfer coefficient in liquid nitrogen bath by inverse heat conduction method显示文摘Inverse heat conduction method (IHCM) is one of the most effective approaches to obtaining the boiling heat transfer coefficient from measured results. This paper focuses on its application in cryogenic boiling heat transfer. Experiments were conducted on the heat transfer of a stainless steel block in a liquid nitrogen bath, with the assumption of a 1D conduction condition to realize fast acquisition of the temperature of the test points inside the block. With the inverse-heat conduction theory and the explicit finite difference model, a solving program was developed to calculate the heat flux and the boiling heat transfer coefficient of a stainless steel block in liquid nitrogen bath based on the temperature acquisition data. Considering the oscillating data and some unsmooth transition points in the inverse-heat-conduction calculation result of the heat-transfer coefficient, a two-step data-fitting procedure was proposed to obtain the expression for the boiling heat transfer coefficients. The coefficient was then verified for accuracy by a comparison between the simulation results using this expression and the verifying experimental results of a stainless steel block. The maximum error with a revised segment fitting is around 6%, which verifies the feasibility of using IHCM to measure the boiling heat transfer coefficient in liquid nitrogen bath. | Tao JIN Jian-ping HONG Hao ZHENG Ke TANG Zhi-hua GAN | 2009 | Journal of Zhejiang University-Science A(Applied Physics & Engineering)2009,10,5: | 8 |
| 16 | Epigenetic regulation of dental pulp stem cells and its potential in regenerative endodontics显示文摘Regenerative endodontics(RE)therapy means physiologically replacing damaged pulp tissue and regaining functional dentin–pulp complex.Current clinical RE procedures recruit endogenous stem cells from the apical papilla,periodontal tissue,bone marrow and peripheral blood,with or without application of scaffolds and growth factors in the root canal space,resulting in cementum-like and bone-like tissue formation.Without the involvement of dental pulp stem cells(DPSCs),it is unlikely that functional pulp regeneration can be achieved,even though acceptable repair can be acquired.DPSCs,due to their specific odontogenic potential,high proliferation,neurovascular property,and easy accessibility,are considered as the most eligible cell source for dentin–pulp regeneration.The regenerative potential of DPSCs has been demonstrated by recent clinical progress.DPSC transplantation following pulpectomy has successfully reconstructed neurovascularized pulp that simulates the physiological structure of natural pulp.The self-renewal,proliferation,and odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs are under the control of a cascade of transcription factors.Over recent decades,epigenetic modulations implicating histone modifications,DNA methylation,and noncoding(nc)RNAs have manifested as a new layer of gene regulation.These modulations exhibit a profound effect on the cellular activities of DPSCs.In this review,we offer an overview about epigenetic regulation of the fate of DPSCs;in particular,on the proliferation,odontogenic differentiation,angiogenesis,and neurogenesis.We emphasize recent discoveries of epigenetic molecules that can alter DPSC status and promote pulp regeneration through manipulation over epigenetic profiles. | Ying Liu Lu Gan Di-Xin Cui Si-Han Yu Yue Pan Li-Wei Zheng Mian Wan | 2021 | World Journal of Stem Cells2021,13,11: | 7 |
| 17 | The clinical features of posterior scleritis with serous retinal detachment: a retrospective clinical analysis显示文摘AIM: To summarize the clinical features, systemic associations, risk factors and choroidal thickness (CT) changing in posterior scleritis (PS) with serous retinal detachment.METHODS: This retrospective study included 23 patients diagnosed PS with retinal detachment from August 2012 to July 2017. All patients' medical history and clinical features were recorded. The examinations included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), fundus examination, and routine eye examinations. Posterior coats thickness (PCT) was determined by B-scan ultrasound, the CT was measured by enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and clinical data were compiled and analyzed.RESULTS: After application of extensive exclusion criteria, 23 patients with PS remained (13 females, 10 males). The average age at presentation was 29.5±9.24 years old. Ocular pain and blurred vision were the two most common complained symptoms by patients. Anterior scleritis occurred in 12 patients, which was confirmed by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) examination. Despite all patients displaying serous retinal detachment in their macula, no fluorescein leakage was observed in the macular area. Optic disc swelling was documented in 10 of the 23 eyes. From B-scan ultrasound examination, the PCT in creased with fluid in Tenon's capsule demonstrated as a typical T-sign. The average PCT was 2.51±0.81 mm in the PS-affected eyes and only 1.09±0.29 mm in the unaffected eye (P<0.0001). The subfoveal CT was 442.61 ±55.61 μm, which correlated with axis length (r=-0.65, P=0.001) and PCT (r=0.783, P<0.001). The BCVA and IOP did not correlate with either CT or PCT.CONCLUSION: PS with serous retinal detachment presented a variety of symptoms, such as pain, visual loss, and physical indicators. Typical T-sign detected by B-scan ultrasound is a useful confirmatory sign for PS diagnosis.

| 18 | China's growing contribution to military Chinese medicine(2005-2014):a ten-year literature survey显示文摘OBJECTIVE:In China,people have relied on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) for thousands of years to keep healthy and treat diseases.TCM also plays an important role in military health services and now forms a new discipline called military Chinese medicine(MCM).However,the type,quality and focus of research articles about MCM have not been reported.The present study was performed to analyze the growing trends of MCM and investigate China's contribution to military health services.METHODS:China's MCM publications were retrieved from the PubMed database,as well as China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang Data and Chongqing VIP database from 2005 to 2014.RESULTS:The study found that the number of published articles increased markedly from 2005 to 2014.Basic research studies comprised a small percentage of the literature.Among these studies,military training injury and special military environmental medicine were the most common research subjects in MCM.Military hospitals were the main institutions generating MCM literature.CONCLUSION:The quality of MCM research is generally low,as indicated by the proportion of publications in core journals.Studies on MCM still lack high-quality publications and international cooperation. | Zheng Gan Ge-liang Yang Yi-fu Fan Hong-yun Chen Wei Gu Chang-quan Ling | 2016 | Journal of Integrative Medicine2016,14,6: | 7 |
| 19 | The Lyman-alpha Solar Telescope(LST) for the ASO-S mission——Ⅱ. design of LST显示文摘As one of the three payloads for the Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory(ASO-S)mission,the Lyman-alpha(Lyα)Solar Telescope(LST)is composed of three instruments:a Solar Corona Imager(SCI),a LyαSolar Disk Imager(SDI)and a full-disk White-light Solar Telescope(WST).When working in-orbit,LST will simultaneously perform high-resolution imaging observations of all regions from the solar disk to the inner corona up to 2.5 R⊙(R⊙stands for the mean solar radius)with a spatial resolution of 4.8′′and 1.2′′for coronal and disk observations,respectively,and a temporal resolution of 30–120 s and 1–120 s for coronal and disk observations,respectively.The maximum exposure time can be up to20 s due to precise pointing and image stabilization function.Among the three telescopes of LST,SCI is a dual-waveband coronagraph simultaneously and independently observing the inner corona in the HI Lyα(121.6±10 nm)line and white light(WL)(700±40 nm)wavebands by using a narrowband Lyαbeam splitter and has a field of view(FOV)from 1.1 to 2.5 R⊙.The stray-light suppression level can attain<10^-6 B⊙(B⊙is the mean brightness of the solar disk)at 1.1 R⊙and≤5×10^-8 B⊙at 2.5 R⊙.SDI and WST are solar disk imagers working in the Lyαline and 360.0 nm wavebands,respectively,which adopt an off-axis two-mirror reflective structure with an FOV up to 1.2 R⊙,covering the inner coronal edge area and relating to coronal imaging.We present the up-to-date design for the LST payload. | Bo Chen Hui Li Ke-Fei Song Quan-Feng Guo Pei-Jie Zhang Ling-Ping He Shuang Dai Xiao-Dong Wang Hai-Feng Wang Chun-Long Liu Hong-Ji Zhang Guang Zhang Yunqi Wang Shi-Jie Liu Hong-Xin Zhang Lei Liu Shi-Lei Mao Yang Liu Jia-Hao Peng Peng Wang Liang Sun Yang Liu Zhen-Wei Han Yan-Long Wang Kun Wu Guang-Xing Ding Peng Zhou Xin Zheng Ming-Yi Xia Qing-Wen Wu Jin-Jiang Xie Ya Chen Shu-Mei Song Hong Wang Bo Zhu Chang-Bo Chu Wen-Gang Yang Li Feng Yu Huang Wei-Qun Gan Ying Li Jing-Wei Li Lei Lu Jian-Chao Xue Bei-Li Ying Ming-Zhe Sun Cheng Zhu Wei-Min Bao Lei Deng Zeng-Shan Yin | 2019 | Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics2019,19,11: | 6 |
| 20 | The Interplay between Artificial Intelligence and Fog Radio Access Networks显示文摘The interplay between artificial intelligence(AI) and fog radio access networks(F-RANs) is investigated in this work from two perspectives: how F-RANs enable hierarchical AI to be deployed in wireless networks and how AI makes F-RANs smarter to better serve mobile devices. Due to the heterogeneity of processing capability, the cloud, fog, and device layers in F-RANs provide hierarchical intelligence via centralized, distributed, and federated learning. In addition, cross-layer learning is also introduced to further reduce the demand for the memory size of the mobile devices. On the other hand, AI provides F-RANs with technologies and methods to deal with massive data and make smarter decisions. Specifically, machine learning tools such as deep neural networks are introduced for data processing, while reinforcement learning(RL) algorithms are adopted for network optimization and decisions. Then, two examples of AI-based applications in F-RANs, i.e., health monitoring and intelligent transportation systems, are presented, followed by a case study of an RL-based caching application in the presence of spatio-temporal unknown content popularity to showcase the potential of applying AI to F-RANs. | Wenchao Xia Xinruo Zhang Gan Zheng Jun Zhang Shi Jin Hongbo Zhu | 2020 | China Communications2020,17,8: | 6 |
