| 1 | Towards developing Mg alloys with simultaneously improved strength and corrosion resistance via RE alloying显示文摘Magnesium(Mg)alloys have received an increasing interest in the past two decades for their tremendous application potential.The strength and corrosion resistance levels of common Mg alloys are still relativity low,and especially they are to be improved simultaneously.The addition of rare earth(RE)to Mg alloys is believed to be beneficial for both the strength and corrosion resistance,and some RE-modified traditional Mg alloys have been studied and some new RE-containing Mg alloys have been developed by now.However,further simultaneous improvements in both strength and anti-corrosion require a better understanding of the behavior and mechanism of RE in Mg alloys.In this review,the common influence mechanisms of RE on mechanical and anti-corrosion properties of Mg alloys are summarized,and the latest research progress of RE-containing Mg alloys with simultaneously improved strength and corrosion resistance are introduced.It is demonstrated that the research on high-strength and high corrosion resistant RE-containing Mg alloys is still immature,and some opinions and suggestions are put forward for the synergetic improvement of the strength and corrosion resistance of Mg alloys,so as to contribute to the further development of Mg alloys with higher performance. | Jinshu Xie Jinghuai Zhang Zihao You Shujuan Liu Kai Guan Ruizhi Wu Jun Wang Jing Feng | 2021 | Journal of Magnesium and Alloys2021,9,1: | 25 |
| 2 | KIF2C:a novel link between Wnt/β-catenin and mTORCI signaling in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is the most common primary liver malignancy and is the fourth-leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.HCC is refractory to many standard cancer treatments and the prognosis is often poor,highlighting a pressing need to identify biomarkers of aggressiveness and potential targets for future treatments.Kinesin family member 2C(KIF2C)is reported to be highly expressed in several human tumors.Nevertheless,the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of KIF2C in tumor development and progression have not been investigated.In this study,we found that KIF2C expression was significantly upregulated in HCC,and that KIF2C up-regulation was associated with a poor prognosis.Utilizing both gain and loss of function assays,we showed that KIF2C promoted HCC cell proliferation,migration,invasion,and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo.Mechanistically,we identified TBC1D7 as a binding partner of KIF2C,and this interaction disrupts the formation of the TSC complex,resulting in the enhancement of mammalian target of rapamycin complexl(mTORCI)signal transduction.Additionally,we found that KIF2C is a direct target of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway,and acts as a key factor in mediating the crosstalk between Wnt/β-catenin and mTORCI signaling.Thus,the results of our study establish a link between Wnt/β-catenin and mTORCI signaling,which highlights the potential of KIF2C as a therapeutic target for the treatment of HCC. | Shi Wei Miaomiao Dai Chi Zhang Kai Teng Fengwei Wang Hongbo Li Weipeng Sun Zihao Feng Tiebang Kang Xinyuan Guan Ruihua Xu Muyan Cai Dan Xie | 2021 | Protein & Cell2021,12,10: | 8 |
| 3 | Ectopic expression of VRT-A2 underlies the origin of Triticum polonicum and Triticum petropavlovskyi with long outer glumes and grains显示文摘Polish wheat (Triticum polonicum) is a unique tetraploid wheat species characterized by an elongated outer glume. The genetic control of the long-glume trait by a single semi-dominant locus, P1 (from Polish wheat), was established more than 100 years ago, but the underlying causal gene and molecular nature remain elusive. Here, we report the isolation of VRT-A2, encoding an SVP-clade MADS-box transcription factor, as the P1 candidate gene. Genetic evidence suggests that in T. polonicum, a naturally occurring sequence rearrangement in the intron-1 region of VRT-A2 leads to ectopic expression of VRT-A2 in floral organs where the long-glume phenotype appears. Interestingly, we found that the intron-1 region is a key ON/OFF molecular switch for VRT-A2 expression, not only because it recruits transcriptional repressors, but also because it confers intron-mediated transcriptional enhancement. Genotypic analyses using wheat accessions indicated that the P1 locus is likely derived from a single natural mutation in tetraploid wheat, which was subsequently inherited by hexaploid T. petropavlovskyi. Taken together, our findings highlight the promoter-proximal intron variation as a molecular basis for phenotypic differentiation, and thus species formation in Triticum plants. | Jing Liu Zhaoyan Chen Zhihui Wang Zhaoheng Zhang Xiaoming Xie Zihao Wang Lingling Chai Long Song Xuejiao Cheng Man Feng Xiaobo Wang Yanhong Liu Zhaorong Hu Jiewen Xing Zhenqi Su Huiru Peng Mingming Xin Yingyin Yao Weilong Guo Qixin Sun Jie Liu Zhongfu Ni | 2021 | Molecular Plant2021,14,9: | 4 |

| 5 | Frequency comb swept laser with a high-Q microring filter显示文摘Frequency comb swept lasers are the enabling technology of circular interferometric imaging.which was proposed to break the bottleneck of data acquisition and proessing in optical coherence tomography(OCT)at video rate.In this paper,we propose and demonstrate a highly coherent frequency comb swept laser by using a high-quality(high-Q)microring comb filter to discretize a Fourier domain mode-locked(FDML)laser.The microring filter has a Q factor of^2×10^6 and a linewidth of^90 MHz.To demonstrate the improvement in performance,a Fabry-Perot comb filter with a Q factor of 6.2×10^4 and a linewidth of 3.1 GHz is also used in the experiment for comparison.Both comb filters have free spectral ranges(FSRs)of^50 GHz for consistence.Stable and clearly discretized temporal waveforms and frequency comb spectra with 50 GHz FSR are observed.Adoption of the high-Q microring filter narrows the instantaneous linewidth of the FDML laser down to 1.5 GHz.The OCT system with the frequency comb swept laser source with a microring filter demonstrates an ultralong imaging range,which has a 6,10,and 15 dB sensitivity roll-off length of^53,~73,and over 100 mm,respectively. | DONGMEI HUANG FENG LI CHAO SHANG ZIHAO CHENG S.T.CHU P.K.A.WAI | 2020 | Photonics Research2020,8,6: | 2 |
| 6 | Perspective:optically-pumped Ⅲ–Ⅴ quantum dot microcavity lasers via CMOS compatible patterned Si (001) substrates显示文摘Direct epitaxial growthⅢ–Ⅴquantum dot(QD)structures on CMOS-compatible silicon substrates is considered as one of the most promising approaches to achieve low-cost and high-yield Si-based lasers for silicon photonic integration.However,epitaxial growth ofⅢ–Ⅴmaterials on Si encounters the following three major challenges:high density of threading dislocations,antiphase boundaries and thermal cracks,which significantly degrade the crystal quality and potential device performance.In this review,we will focus on some recent results related to InAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers on Si(001)substrates byⅢ–Ⅴ/Ⅳhybrid epitaxial growth via(111)-faceted Si hollow structures.Moreover,by using the step-graded epitaxial growth process the emission wavelength of InAs QDs can be extended from O-band to C/L-band.High-performance InAs/GaAs QD microdisk lasers with sub-milliwatts threshold on Si(001)substrates are fabricated and characterized.The above results pave a promising path towards the on-chip lasers for optical interconnect applications. | Wenqi Wei Qi Feng Zihao Wang Ting Wang Jianjun Zhang | 2019 | Journal of Semiconductors2019,40,10: | 2 |
| 7 | Catalytic hydrogenation performance of ZIF-8 carbide for electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide显示文摘The conversion of CO_(2) electrocatalytic hydrogenation into energy-rich fuel is considered to be the most effective way to carbon recycle.Nitrogen-doping carbonized ZIF-8 is proposed as carrier of the earth-rich Sn catalyst to overcome the limit of electron transfer and CO_(2) adsorption capacity of Sn.Hierarchically porous structure of Sn doped carbonized ZIF-8 is controlled by hydrothermal and carbonization conditions,which induces much higher specific surface area than that of the commercial Sn nanoparticle(1003.174 vs.7.410 m^(2)·g^(-1)).The shift of nitrogen peaks in X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy spectra indicates interaction between ZIF-8 and Sn,which induces the shift of electron cloud from Sn to the chemical nitrogen to enhance conductivity and regulate electron transfer from catalyst to CO_(2).Lower mass transfer resistance and Warburg resistance are investigated through EIS,which significantly improves the catalytic activity for CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR).Onset potential of the reaction is reduced from-0.74 V to less than-0.54 V vs.RHE.The total Faraday efficiency of HCOOH and CO reaches 68.9%at-1.14 V vs.RHE,which is much higher than that of the commercial Sn(45.0%)and some other Sn-based catalyst reported in the literature. | Shuai Fan Huiyuan Cheng Manman Feng Xuemei Wu Zihao Fan Dongwei Pan Gaohong He | 2021 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2021,34,11: | 2 |
| 8 | Comprehensive evaluation of 5G+smart distribution network based on combined weighting method-cloud model显示文摘With the large-scale application of 5G technology in smart distribution networks,the operation effects of distribution networks are not clear.Herein,we propose a comprehensive evaluation model of a 5G+smart distribution network based on the combination weighting and cloud model of the improved Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy-Entropy Weight Method(FAHP-EWM).First,we establish comprehensive evaluation indexes of a 5G+smart distribution network from five dimensions:reliable operation,economic operation,efficient interaction,technological intelligence,and green emission reduction.Second,by introducing the principle of variance minimization,we propose a combined weighting method based on the improved FAHP-EWM to calculate the comprehensive weight,so as to reduce the defects of subjective arbitrariness and promote objectivity.Finally,a comprehensive evaluation model of 5G+smart distribution network based on cloud model is proposed by considering the uncertainty of distribution network node information and equipment status information.The example analysis indicates that the overall operation of the 5G+smart distribution network project is decent,and the weight value calculated by the combined weighting method is more reasonable and accurate than that calculated by the single weighting method,which verifies the effectiveness and rationality of the proposed evaluation method.Moreover,the proposed evaluation method has a certain guiding role for the large-scale application of 5G communication technology in smart distribution networks. | Xiufan Ma Ying Wang Zihao Liu Xiaoyu Feng | 2022 | Global Energy Interconnection2022,5,6: | 2 |

| 10 | The Solar Upper Transition Region Imager(SUTRI)Onboard the SATech-01 Satellite显示文摘The Solar Upper Transition Region Imager(SUTRI)onboard the Space Advanced Technology demonstration satellite(SATech-01),which was launched to a Sun-synchronous orbit at a height of~500 km in 2022 July,aims to test the on-orbit performance of our newly developed Sc/Si multi-layer reflecting mirror and the 2k×2k EUV CMOS imaging camera and to take full-disk solar images at the Ne VII 46.5 nm spectral line with a filter width of~3 nm.SUTRI employs a Ritchey-Chrétien optical system with an aperture of 18 cm.The on-orbit observations show that SUTRI images have a field of view of~416×416 and a moderate spatial resolution of~8″without an image stabilization system.The normal cadence of SUTRI images is 30 s and the solar observation time is about16 hr each day because the earth eclipse time accounts for about 1/3 of SATech-01's orbit period.Approximately15 GB data is acquired each day and made available online after processing.SUTRI images are valuable as the Ne VII 46.5 nm line is formed at a temperature regime of~0.5 MK in the solar atmosphere,which has rarely been sampled by existing solar imagers.SUTRI observations will establish connections between structures in the lower solar atmosphere and corona,and advance our understanding of various types of solar activity such as flares,filament eruptions,coronal jets and coronal mass ejections. | Xianyong Bai Hui Tian Yuanyong Deng Zhanshan Wang Jianfeng Yang Xiaofeng Zhang Yonghe Zhang Runze Qi Nange Wang Yang Gao Jun Yu Chunling He Zhengxiang Shen Lun Shen Song Guo Zhenyong Hou Kaifan Ji Xingzi Bi Wei Duan Xiao Yang Jiaben Lin Ziyao Hu Qian Song Zihao Yang Yajie Chen Weidong Qiao Wei Ge Fu Li Lei Jin Jiawei He Xiaobo Chen Xiaocheng Zhu Junwang He Qi Shi Liu Liu Jinsong Li Dongxiao Xu Rui Liu Taijie Li Zhenggong Feng Yamin Wang Chengcheng Fan Shuo Liu Sifan Guo Zheng Sun Yuchuan Wu Haiyu Li Qi Yang Yuyang Ye Weichen Gu Jiali Wu Zhe Zhang Yue Yu Zeyi Ye Pengfeng Sheng Yifan Wang Wenbin Li Qiushi Huang Zhong Zhang | 2023 | Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics2023,23,6: | 1 |
| 11 | Artificial Intelligence in Pharmaceutical Sciences显示文摘Drug discovery and development affects various aspects of human health and dramatically impacts the pharmaceutical market.However,investments in a new drug often go unrewarded due to the long and complex process of drug research and development(R&D).With the advancement of experimental technology and computer hardware,artificial intelligence(AI)has recently emerged as a leading tool in analyzing abundant and high-dimensional data.Explosive growth in the size of biomedical data provides advantages in applying AI in all stages of drug R&D.Driven by big data in biomedicine,AI has led to a revolution in drug R&D,due to its ability to discover new drugs more efficiently and at lower cost.This review begins with a brief overview of common AI models in the field of drug discovery;then,it summarizes and discusses in depth their specific applications in various stages of drug R&D,such as target discovery,drug discovery and design,preclinical research,automated drug synthesis,and influences in the pharmaceutical market.Finally,the major limitations of AI in drug R&D are fully discussed and possible solutions are proposed. | Mingkun Lu Jiayi Yin Qi Zhu Gaole Lin Minjie Mou Fuyao Liu Ziqi Pan Nanxin You Xichen Lian Fengcheng Li Hongning Zhang Lingyan Zheng Wei Zhang Hanyu Zhang Zihao Shen Zhen Gu Honglin Li Feng Zhu | 2023 | Engineering2023,,8: | 1 |
| 12 | A computational model of topological and geometric recovery for visual curve completion显示文摘Visual curve completion is a fundamental problem in understanding the principles of the human visual system. This problem is usually divided into two problems: a grouping problem and a shape problem.On one hand, though perception of the visually completed curve is clearly a global task(for example,a human perceives the Kanizsa triangle only when seeing all three black objects), conventional methods for solving the grouping problem are generally based on local Gestalt laws. On the other hand, the shape of the visually completed curve is usually recovered by minimizing shape energy in existing methods.However, not only do these methods lack mechanisms to adjust the shape of the recovered visual curve using perceptual, psychophysical, and neurophysiological knowledge, but it is also difficult to calculate an explicit representation of the visually completed curve. In this paper, we present a systematic computational model for generating a visually completed curve. Firstly, based on recent studies of perception, psychophysics, and neurophysiology, we formulate a grouping procedure based on the human visual system by seeking a minimum Hamiltonian cycle in a graph, solving the grouping problem in a global manner. Secondly, we employ a B′ezier curve-based model to represent the visually completed curve. Not only is an explicit representation deduced, but we also present a means to integrate knowledge from related areas, such as perception, psychophysics, and neurophysiology, and so on. The proposed computational model has been validated using many modal and amodal completion examples, and desirable results were obtained. | Hongwei Lin Zihao Wang Panpan Feng Xingjiang Lu Jinhui Yu | 2016 | Computational Visual Media2016,2,4: | 1 |
| 13 | HMGB1 is necessary for the development of lamprey显示文摘High mobility group box protein 1(HMGB1)with a highly conserved structure in chromatin is an abundant nonhistone protein,which is involved in nucleosome folding and assembly,chromatin formation,DNA binding,V(D)J recombination,DNA replication,gene transfer,cell differentiation,cell migration,neurotransmitters,cell death,immune response,and other important processes[1–4].So,it has important biological functions in animals.The function of hmgb1 has been extensively studied in jawed vertebrates but little in lampreys.Lampreys are members of the living agnathans,the most basal group of vertebrates.Lamprey is a considerable model organism in vertebrate evolution and developmental biology because of its special phylogenetic position and critical stage closely related to other animals.Many aspects of the hmgb1 in lampreys have not been revealed,such as evolution,distribution,and role.Therefore,in this paper,the evolution of hmgb1 was carried out,and the function of hmgb1 in lampreys was investigated by the morpholine antisense oligonucleotide(MO)technique.The data provide the foundation for the study of origins,evolution,and the function of hmgb1 in a jawless vertebrate.Linking evolution to function can shed more light on the role of the hmgb1 gene involved in development. | Jingjing Lu Jun Li Zihao Yan Xiaokun Wang Feng Lin Qinghua Ma Huaixiu Liu Haoran Guan Yueying Xun Xiaoying Kang Peijie Luan Xiao Feng Yue Pang Qingwei Li Yinglun Han | 2021 | Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica2021,53,11: | 0 |
| 14 | Stable epidermal electronic device with strain isolation induced by in situ Joule heating显示文摘Epidermal electronics play increasingly important roles in human-machine intetfaces.However,their efficient fabrication while maintaining device stability and reliability remains an unresolved challenge.Here,a facile in situ Joule heating method is proposed for fabricating stable epidermal electronics on a polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)substrate.Benefiting from the precise control of heating locations,the crystallization and enhanced rigidity of PVA are restricted to desired areas,leading to strain isolation of the active regions.As a result,the electronic device can be conformably attached to skin while showing negligible degradation in device performance during deformation.Based on this method,a flexible surface electromyography(sEMG)sensor with outstanding stability and highly comfortable wearability is demonstrated,showing high accuracy(91.83%)for human hand gesture recognition.These results imply that the fabrication method proposed in this research is a facile and reliable approach for the fabrication of epidermal electronics. | Zihao Wang Qifeng Lu Yizhang Xia Simin Feng Yixiang Shi Shuqi Wang Xianqing Yang Yangyong Zhao Fuqin Sun Tie Li Ting Zhang | 2021 | Microsystems & Nanoengineering2021,7,4: | 0 |
| 15 | All‑Covalent Organic Framework Nanofilms Assembled Lithium‑Ion Capacitor to Solve the Imbalanced Charge Storage Kinetics显示文摘Free-standing covalent organic framework(COFs)nanofilms exhibit a remarkable ability to rapidly intercalate/de-intercalate Li^(+)in lithium-ion batteries,while simultaneously exposing affluent active sites in supercapacitors.The development of these nanofilms offers a promising solution to address the persistent challenge of imbalanced charge storage kinetics between battery-type anode and capacitor-type cathode in lithium-ion capacitors(LICs).Herein,for the first time,custom-made COFBTMB-TP and COFTAPB-BPY nanofilms are synthesized as the anode and cathode,respectively,for an all-COF nanofilm-structured LIC.The COFBTMB-TP nanofilm with strong electronegative–CF3 groups enables tuning the partial electron cloud density for Li^(+)migration to ensure the rapid anode kinetic process.The thickness-regulated cathodic COFTAPB-BPY nanofilm can fit the anodic COF nanofilm in the capacity.Due to the aligned 1D channel,2D aromatic skeleton and accessible active sites of COF nanofilms,the whole COFTAPB-BPY//COFBTMB-TP LIC demonstrates a high energy density of 318 mWh cm^(−3)at a high-power density of 6 W cm^(−3),excellent rate capability,good cycle stability with the capacity retention rate of 77%after 5000-cycle.The COFTAPB-BPY//COFBTMB-TP LIC represents a new benchmark for currently reported film-type LICs and even film-type supercapacitors.After being comprehensively explored via ex situ XPS,7Li solid-state NMR analyses,and DFT calculation,it is found that the COFBTMB-TP nanofilm facilitates the reversible conversion of semi-ionic to ionic C–F bonds during lithium storage.COFBTMB-TP exhibits a strong interaction with Li^(+)due to the C–F,C=O,and C–N bonds,facilitating Li^(+)desolation and absorption from the electrolyte.This work addresses the challenge of imbalanced charge storage kinetics and capacity between the anode and cathode and also pave the way for future miniaturized and wearable LIC devices. | Xiaoyang Xu Jia Zhang Zihao Zhang Guandan Lu Wei Cao Ning Wang Yunmeng Xia Qingliang Feng Shanlin Qiao | 2024 | Nano-Micro Letters2024,16,6: | 0 |
| 16 | Performance of Hepatitis Delta Virus(HDV)RNA Testing for the Diagnosis of Active HDV Infection:Systematic Review and Meta-analysis显示文摘Background and Aims:Hepatitis delta virus(HDV)is a defective virus and causes severe liver disease.Several HDV RNA assays have been developed,however the diagnostic efficacy remains unclear.This systematic review and metaanalysis aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of HDV RNA assays to aid in the diagnosis of active hepatitis D.Methods:The PubMed,Embase,and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched from the beginning to June 31,2022.Information on the characteristics of the literature and data on sensitivity,specificity,and area under curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)were extracted.Stata 14.0 was used for meta-analysis of the combined sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio,and negative likelihood ratio.Results:A total of 10 studies were included in the meta-analysis.The summary sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio,negative likelihood ratio,and diagnostic odds ratio of HDV RNA assays for HDV diagnosis were 0.92(95%CI:0.87-0.95),0.90(95%CI:0.86-0.93),7.74(95%CI:5.31-11.29),0.10(95%CI:0.06-0.18)and 99.90(95%CI:47.08-211.99),respectively.The AUC of the pooled ROC curve was 0.95(95%CI:0.92-0.96).Conclusions:The results show that HDV RNA assays had high diagnostic performance.However,that is limited by the number and quality of studies.Standard protocols for the development of assays by manufacturers and larger studies on the use of the assays are needed. | Sisi Chen Xiangying Zhang Ling Xu Yuan Tian Zihao Fan Yaling Cao Zhenzhen Pan Yao Gao Sujun Zheng Zhongping Duan Mei Liu Feng Ren | 2023 | Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology2023,11,6: | 0 |
| 17 | The lysine methyltransferase SMYD2 facilitates neointimal hyperplasia by regulating the HDAC3-SRF axis显示文摘Coronary restenosis is an important cause of poor long-term prognosis in patients with coronary heart disease.Here,we show that lysine methyltransferase SMYD2 expression in the nucleus is significantly elevated in serum-and PDGF-BB-induced vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs),and in tissues of carotid artery injury-induced neointimal hyperplasia.Smyd2 overexpression in VSMCs(Smyd2-vTg)facilitates,but treatment with its specific inhibitor LLY-507 or SMYD2 knockdown significantly inhibits VSMC phenotypic switching and carotid artery injury-induced neointima formation in mice.Transcriptome sequencing revealed that SMYD2 knockdown represses the expression of serum response factor(SRF)target genes and that SRF overexpression largely reverses the inhibitory effect of SMYD2 knockdown on VSMC proliferation.HDAC3 directly interacts with and deacetylates SRF,which enhances SRF transcriptional activity in VSMCs.Moreover,SMYD2 promotes HDAC3 expression via tri-methylation of H3K36 at its promoter.RGFP966,a specific inhibitor of HDAC3,not only counteracts the pro-proliferation effect of SMYD2 overexpression on VSMCs,but also inhibits carotid artery injury-induced neointima formation in mice.HDAC3 partially abolishes the inhibitory effect of SMYD2 knockdown on VSMC proliferation in a deacetylase activity-dependent manner.Our results reveal that the SMYD2-HDAC3-SRF axis constitutes a novel and critical epigenetic mechanism that regulates VSMC phenotypic switching and neointimal hyperplasia. | Xiaoxuan Zhong Xiang Wei Yan Xu Xuehai Zhu Bo Huo Xian Guo Gaoke Feng Zihao Zhang Xin Feng Zemin Fang Yuxuan Luo Xin Yi Ding-Sheng Jiang | 2024 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2024,14,2: | 0 |
| 18 | Irisin Attenuates Osteoarthritis by Inhibiting Apoptosis of Osteocytes Through Activating Erk Signaling Pathway显示文摘Osteoarthritis(OA)is an inflammatory disease involving the joints that is prevalent in the global aging population.The purpose of this study is to determine whether irisin can attenuate osteoarthritis(OA)progression in anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT)mice models and the mechanism of irisin therapy effect on OA by increase the resistance of apoptosis in MLO-Y4 cells induced by mechanical stretch in vitro.Methods For in vivo study,3-month-old male C57BL/6 J mice were randomized to three groups,sham-operated,anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT)-operated treated with vehicle,and ACLT-operated treated with irisin by intraperitoneal injection once a week.Cartilage erosion was observed by HE staining.Osteoarthritis Research Society International(OARSI)scores were evaluated according to the safranin O stai-ning.The microstructure of tibia cortical bone,trabecular bone,and subchondral bone was analyzed by micro-CT and the bone histomorphometry has been administrated including mineral apposition rate(MAR).Edu staining and cck-8 were used for the detection of the proliferation of MLO-Y4 cells.For mechanical stress,cells were seeded on the collagen-I coated chamber subjected with a peak biaxial stretch of 20%at 1 Hz for 16 hours to induce apoptosis.Flow cytometry was used for the detection of apoptosis and cell cycle.TUNNEL was used for staining the apoptotic cells and rt-PCR was applied for quantifying the expression of mRNA such as Bax,Bcl-2,SOST,c-myc,Opg.Western blot was utilized to confirm the mechanism of how irisin decrease the osteocyte apoptosis.Results In vivo,irisin can attenuate articular cartilage degeneration.Irisin maintains the proportion of hyaline cartilage and calcified cartilage and keep fewer cartilage erosions in ACLT-operated mice.For immunohistochemical(IHC)staining,irisin reduced the expression of caspase3,Bax and matrix metalloproteinase-13 in both cartilage and subchondral bone.Irisin-treated ACLT group shows higher Trabecular number(Tb.N)and bone volume fraction(BV/TV)compared to the vehicle-treated ACLT group.In vitro, irisin significantly increased the proliferation of MLO-Y4 cells detected by Edu and Ki67 staining,and irisin can protect the cells from both mechanical stretchinduced apoptosis detected by FITC-PI flow cytometry and maintain the cell activity by regulating the expression of Bax,Bcl-2,and c-myc.Transcriptome sequencing shows that irisin significantly activates the MAPK signaling pathway and we confirm the result by western blot:irisin effectively activates the Erk signaling pathway through phosphorylation and has a certain activation effect on p38 signaling pathway,no activation was observed for FAK signaling pathway.Conclusions Irisin can attenuate the progression of OA by decrease the apoptosis of osteocyte,which can improve the microarchitecture of subchondral bone.Erk pathway activation plays an important role in reducing the apoptosis of osteocyte. | Zihao He Hanjun Li Feng Zhou Jingke Du Shuhong Zhang Tingting Tang Zhifeng Yu | 2019 | 医用生物力学2019,34,A01: | 0 |
| 19 | The Structural and Chemical Reactivity of Lattice Oxygens on β-PbO_(2 ) EOP Electrocatalysts显示文摘The oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and electrochemical ozone production(EOP)attracted considerable attention due to their wide applications in electrocatalysis,but the detailed reaction mechanism of product formation as well as the voltage effect on O_(2)/O_(3)formation still remains unclear.In this work,density functional theory calculations were used to systematically investigate the possible reaction mechanisms of OER and EOP on the PbO_(2)(110)surface,with the possible reaction network involving surface lattice oxygen atoms(LOM)proposed.The results show that the LOM-2 reaction pathway involving two surface lattice oxygen atoms(Olatt)and one oxygen atom from H_(2)O was the most thermodynamically reactive.Different potential determining step(PDS)was obtained depending on the multiple reaction pathway,and the results show that the facile diffusion of Olattwould proceed the LOM pathway and promote the formation of surface oxygen vacancies(O_(vac1)/O_(vac2)).Furthermore,O_(vac1)/O_(vac2)formation on the surface would trigger further reactions of H_(2)O adsorption and splitting,which refilled the oxygen vacancy and ensured the considerable stability of the PbO_(2)(110)surface.Multiple H_(2)O dissociation pathways were proposed on PbO_(2)(110)with oxygen vacancy sites:the acid-base interaction mechanism and the vacancy fulfilling mechanism. | Wenwen Li Ge Feng Jia Liu Xing Zhong Zihao Yao Shengwei Deng Shibin Wang Jianguo Wang | 2022 | Chinese Journal of Structural Chemistry2022,41,12: | 0 |
| 20 | Clustering compression-based computation-efficient calibration method for digital twin modeling of HVAC system显示文摘Digital twin is regarded as the next-generation technology for the effective operation of heating,ventilation and air conditioning(HVAC)systems.It is essential to calibrate the digital twin models to match them closely with real physical systems.Conventional real-time calibration methods cannot satisfy such requirements since the computation loads are beyond acceptable tolerances.To address this challenge,this study proposes a clustering compression-based method to enhance the computation efficiency of digital twin model calibration for HVAC systems.This method utilizes clustering algorithms to remove redundant data for achieving data compression.Moreover,a hierarchical multi-stage heuristic model calibration strategy is developed to accelerate the calibration of similar component models.Its basic idea is that once a component model is calibrated by heuristic methods,its optimal solution is utilized to narrow the ranges of parameter probability distributions of similar components.By doing so,the calibration process can be guided,so that fewer iterations would be used.The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using the operational data from an HVAC system in an industrial building.Results show that the proposed clustering compression-based method can reduce computation loads by 97%,compared to the conventional calibration method.And the proposed hierarchical heuristic model calibration strategy is capable of accelerating the calibration process after clustering and saves 14.6%of the time costs. | Jie Lu Xiangning Tian Chenxin Feng Chaobo Zhang Yang Zhao Yiwen Zhang Zihao Wang | 2023 | Building Simulation2023,16,6: | 0 |
