| 2 | Differences between CMIP6 and CMIP5 Models in Simulating Climate over China and the East Asian Monsoon显示文摘We compare the ability of coupled global climate models from the phases 5 and 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project(CMIP5 and CMIP6,respectively)in simulating the temperature and precipitation climatology and interannual variability over China for the period 1961–2005 and the climatological East Asian monsoon for the period 1979–2005.All 92 models are able to simulate the geographical distribution of the above variables reasonably well.Compared with earlier CMIP5 models,current CMIP6 models have nationally weaker cold biases,a similar nationwide overestimation of precipitation and a weaker underestimation of the southeast–northwest precipitation gradient,a comparable overestimation of the spatial variability of the interannual variability,and a similar underestimation of the strength of winter monsoon over northern Asia.Pairwise comparison indicates that models have improved from CMIP5 to CMIP6 for climatological temperature and precipitation and winter monsoon but display little improvement for the interannual temperature and precipitation variability and summer monsoon.The ability of models relates to their horizontal resolutions in certain aspects.Both the multi-model arithmetic mean and median display similar skills and outperform most of the individual models in all considered aspects. | Dabang JIANG Dan HU Zhiping TIAN and Xianmei LANG | 2020 | Advances in Atmospheric Sciences2020,37,10: | 28 |

| 5 | Single-cell RNA-seq highlights intra-tumoral heterogeneity and malignant progression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma显示文摘Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer featured with high intra-tumoral heterogeneity and poor prognosis. To comprehensively delineate the PDAC intra-tumoral heterogeneity and the underlying mechanism for PDAC progression, we employed single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) to acquire the transcriptomic atlas of 57,530 individual pancreatic cells from primary PDAC tumors and control pancreases, and identified diverse malignant and stromal cell types, including two ductal subtypes with abnormal and malignant gene expression profiles respectively, in PDAC. We found that the heterogenous malignant subtype was composed of several subpopulations with differential proliferative and migratory potentials. Cell trajectory analysis revealed that components of multiple tumor-related pathways and transcription factors (TFs) were differentially expressed along PDAC progression. Furthermore, we found a subset of ductal cells with unique proliferative features were associated with an inactivation state in tumor-infiltrating T cells, providing novel markers for the prediction of antitumor immune response. Together, our findings provide a valuable resource for deciphering the intra-tumoral heterogeneity in PDAC and uncover a connection between tumor intrinsic transcriptional state and T cell activation, suggesting potential biomarkers for anticancer treatment such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy. | Junya Peng Bao-Fa Sun Chuan-Yuan Chen Jia-Yi Zhou Yu-Sheng Chen Hao Chen Lulu Liu Dan Huang Jialin Jiang Guan-Shen Cui Ying Yang Wenze Wang Dan Guo Menghua Dai Junchao Guo Taiping Zhang Quan Liao Yi Liu Yong-Liang Zhao Da-Li Han Yupei Zhao Yun-Gui Yang Wenming Wu | 2019 | Cell Research2019,29,9: | 24 |

| 8 | Exploring an Integrative Therapy for Treating COVID-19:A Randomized Controlled Trial显示文摘Objectives:To develop a new Chinese medicine(CM)-based drug and to evaluate its safety and effect for suppressing acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)in COVID-19 patients.Methods:A putative ARDS-suppressing drug Keguan-1 was first developed and then evaluated by a randomized,controlled two-arm trial.The two arms of the trial consist of a control therapy(alpha interferon inhalation,50(x g twice daily;and lopinavir/ritonavir,400 and 100 mg twice daily,respectively)and a testing therapy(control therapy plus Keguan-119.4 g twice daily)by random number table at 1:1 ratio with 24 cases each group.After 2-week treatment,adverse events,time to fever resolution,ARDS development,and lung injury on newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients were assessed.Results:An analysis of the data from the first 30 participants showed that the control arm and the testing arm did not exhibit any significant differences in terms of adverse events.Based on this result,the study was expanded to include a total of 48 participants(24 cases each arm).The results show that compared with the control arm,the testing arm exhibited a significant improvement in time to fever resolution(P=0.035),and a significant reduction in the development of ARDS(P=0.048).Conclusions:Keguan-1-based integrative therapy was safe and superior to the standard therapy in suppressing the development of ARDS in COVID-19 patients.(Trial registration No.NCT 04251871 at www.clinicaltrials.gov). | WANG Jia-bo WANG Zhong-xia JING Jing ZHAO Peng DONG Jing-hui ZHOU Yong-feng YANG Guang NIU Ming ZHAO Xu JIANG Tian-jun Bl Jing-feng XU Zhe ZHANG Ping WU Dan BAI Zhao-fang GUO Yu-ming YU Si-miao SUN Yong-qiang ZHANG Zi-teng ZHAN Xiao-yan LI Peng-yan DING Jin-biao ZHAO Peng-fei SONG Xue-ai TANG Jian-yuan HE Dong-chu CHEN Zhu QIN En-qiang WANG Rui-lin XIAO Xiao-he | 2020 | Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine2020,26,9: | 18 |
| 9 | 4-Hydroxybenzyl-substituted amino acid derivatives from Gastrodia elata显示文摘Seven new 4-hydroxybenzyl-substituted amino acid derivatives(1-7), together with 11 known compounds, were isolated from an aqueous extract of the rhizomes of Gastrodia elata Blume.Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compounds 1-3 are pyroglutamate derivatives containing 4-hydroxybenzyl units at the N atom and 4-7 are the first examples of natural products with the 4-hydroxybenzyl unit linked via a thioether bond to 2-hydroxy-3-mercaptopropanoic acid(4-6) and 2-hydroxy-4-mercaptobutanoic acid(7), which would be biogenetically derived from cysteine and homocysteine, respectively. The structures of 1 and 2 were verified by synthesis, while the absolute configurations of 4, 5 and 7 were assigned using Mosher's method based on the MPA determination rule of ΔδRS values. The known compound 4-(hydroxymethyl)-5-nitrobenzene-1,2-diol(8) exhibited activity against Fe^(2+)-cysteine induced rat liver microsomal lipid peroxidation with IC_(50) values of 9.99×10^(-6) mol/L. | Qinglan Guo Yanan Wang Sheng Lin Chenggen Zhu Minghua Chen Zhibo Jiang Chengbo Xu Dan Zhang Huailing Wei Jiangong Shi | 2015 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2015,5,4: | 18 |
| 10 | Phase 1 clinical trial demonstrated that MUC1 positive metastatic seminal vesicle cancer can be effectively eradicated by modified Anti-MUC1 chimeric antigen receptor transduced T cells显示文摘Recent progress in chimeric antigen receptor-modified T-cell(CAR-T cell) technology in cancer therapy is extremely promising, especially in the treatment of patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In contrast, due to the hostile immunosuppressive microenvironment of a solid tumor, CAR T-cell accessibility and survival continue to pose a considerable challenge, which leads to their limited therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we constructed two anti-MUC1 CAR-T cell lines. One set of CAR-T cells contained SM3 single chain variable fragment(sc Fv) sequence specifically targeting the MUC1 antigen and co-expressing interleukin(IL) 12(named SM3-CAR). The other CAR-T cell line carried the SM3 sc Fv sequence modified to improve its binding to MUC1 antigen(named p SM3-CAR) but did not co-express IL-12. When those two types of CAR-T cells were injected intratumorally into two independent metastatic lesions of the same MUC1+ seminal vesicle cancer patient as part of an interventional treatment strategy, the initial results indicated no side-effects of the MUC1 targeting CAR-T cell approach, and patient serum cytokines responses were positive. Further evaluation showed that p SM3-CAR effectively caused tumor necrosis, providing new options for improved CAR-T therapy in solid tumors. | Fengtao You Licui Jiang Bozhen Zhang Qiang Lu Qiao Zhou Xiaoyang Liao Hong Wu Kaiqi Du Youcai Zhu Huimin Meng Zhishu Gong Yunhui Zong Lei Huang Man Lu Jirong Tang Yafen Li Xiaochen Zhai Xiangling Wang Sisi Ye Dan Chen Lei Yuan Lin Qi Lin Yang | 2016 | Science China(Life Sciences)2016,59,4: | 16 |
| 11 | Enhancing photocatalytic performance by constructing ultrafine TiO2 nanorods/g-C3N4 nanosheets heterojunction for water treatment显示文摘Photocatalysis is considered to be a clean, green and efficient method to purify water. In this report, we first developed a highly efficient ultrafine TiO_2 nanorods/g-C3 N4 nanosheets(TiO_2 NR/CN NS) composites via a simple hydrothermal method. Tiny TiO_2 nanorods(diameter:~1.5 nm and length:~8.3 nm) were first loaded in situ on the CN NS by adding graphitic carbon nitride(g-C3 N4) to the reaction solution.The TiO_2 NR/CN NS composites present high charge separation efficiency and broader light absorbance than P25 TiO_2. Furthermore, we illustrate that the Ti0_2 NR/CN NS catalyst possesses high performance for the photocatalytic degradation of the common and stubborn pollutants in water, such as the rhodamine B(RhB) dye and phenol. Under visible light(λ> 420 nm) irradiation, the apparent rate of the TiO_2 NR/CN NR is 172 and 41 times higher than that of the P25 TiO_2 and TiO_2 NR, respectively.Additionally, we speculated that the heterojunction formed between TiO_2 NR and CN NS, which is the basis for the experiments we have designed and the corresponding results. We demonstrated that reactive oxidative species such as superoxide anion radical and holes play critical roles in the degradation,and the hydroxyl radical contributes nothing to the degradation. | Shiliang Luan Dan Qu Li An Wenshuai Jiang xiang Gao Shixin Hua Xiang Miao Yuanjing Wen Zaicheng Sun | 2018 | Science Bulletin2018,63,11: | 16 |
| 12 | Small molecule inhibitors reveal allosteric regulation of USP14 via steric blockade显示文摘The ubiquitin system is important for drug discovery,and the discovery of selective small-molecule inhibitors of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) remains an active yet extremely challenging task. With a few exceptions,previously developed inhibitors have been found to bind the evolutionarily conserved catalytic centers of DUBs,resulting in poor selectivity. The small molecule IU1 was the first-ever specific inhibitor identified and exhibited surprisingly excellent selectivity for USP14 over other DUBs. However,the molecular mechanism for this selectivity was elusive. Herein,we report the high-resolution co-crystal structures of the catalytic domain of USP14 bound to IU1 and three IU1 derivatives. All the structures of these complexes indicate that IU1 and its analogs bind to a previously unknown steric binding site in USP14,thus blocking the access of the C-terminus of ubiquitin to the active site of USP14 and abrogating USP14 activity. Importantly,this steric site in USP14 is very unique,as suggested by structural alignments of USP14 with several known DUB X-ray structures. These results,in conjunction with biochemical characterization,Indicate a coherent steric blockade mechanism for U5P14 inhibition by compounds of the IU series. In light of the recent report of steric blockade of USP7 by FT671,this work suggests a potential generally applicable allosteric mechanism for the regulation of DUBs via steric blockade,as showcased by our discovery of IU1-248 which is 10-fold more potent than IU1. | Yiwei Wang Yuxuan Jiang Shan Ding Jiawang Li Ningjing Song Yujing Ren Danning Hong Cai Wu Bin Li Feng Wang Wei He Jiawei Wang Ziqing Mei | 2018 | Cell Research2018,28,12: | 15 |
| 13 | A new bone repair scaffold combined with chitosan/ hydroxyapatite and sustained releasing icariin显示文摘Icariin, a plant-derived flavonol glycoside, has been proved as an osteoinductive agent for bone tissue engineering. A new bone repair scaffold was generated by thorough mixing of icariin and chitosan/ hydroxyapatite (icariin-CS/HA) using freeze-drying technigue. Characteristics of morphology, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, drug release behavior and bone repair abilities in vivo were evaluated. The results show that drug loading process of icariin did not affect physical structure of CS/HA composite significantly but decreased mechanical properies of CS/HA composite, which happened with a high dosage; icariin-CS/HA had favorable cell compatibility and promoted osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs; the controlled release of icariin was satisfactory and the release retained after 90 d in vitro. In addition, icariin-CS/HA scaffolds had favorable osteoconduction and osteoinduction in vivo, and could fill bone defect sites and stimulate newborn bone tissues formation at early stage. On the basis of these data, icariin-CS/HA is believed to be an optical bone repair scaffold for tissue engineering. | WU Tao NAN KaiHui CHEN JingDi JIN Dan JIANG Shan ZHAO PeiRan XU JunChang DU Hao ZHANG XiaoQiang LI JianWei PEI GuoXian | 2009 | Chinese Science Bulletin2009,54,17: | 14 |

| 15 | CapOX as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced operable colon cancer patients: a prospective single-arm phase Ⅱ trial显示文摘Objective: The aim of this prospective, single-arm phase II trial was to confirm the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) using oxaliplatin plus capecitabine(Cap OX) for patients with operable locally advanced colon cancer(CC).Methods: Patients with computed tomography-defined T4 or lymph node-positive CCs were enrolled. After radiological staging, patients were treated with at least 2 cycles of NAC consisting of 130 mg/m2 oxaliplatin on d 1,plus 1,000 mg/m2 capecitabine twice daily for 14 d every 3 weeks, followed by surgery, and then with the rest cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. Radiological response was evaluated after 2 cycles of NAC. Tumor response, treatment toxicity, and surgical complications were recorded. The pathological response to therapy was evaluated according to the tumor regression grade(TRG) score. The primary endpoint was pathologic tumor response. This trial is registered in Clinical Trials.gov(No: NCT02415829).Results: Forty-seven patients were enrolled in the study. Forty-two patients completed the planned treatments.The total radiological response rate was 68%(32/47), including complete and partial response rates of 2%(1/47)and 66%(31/47), respectively. Stable disease was observed in 32%(15/47) and progressive disease was observed in none. Complete pathologic response, major regression, and at least moderate regression were achieved in 1(2%), 2(4%), and 29(62%) patients, respectively. Four patients developed grade 3 treatment toxicities. One patient with wound infection occurred after operation(1/47, 2%). There was no treatment-related death.Conclusions: Our results suggest that NAC with Cap OX is an effective and safe treatment option for patients with locally advanced CCs. | Fangqi Liu Li Yang Yuchen Wu Cong Li Jiang Zhao Adili Keranmu Hongtu Zheng Dan Huang Lei Wang Tong Tong Junyan Xu Ji Zhu Sanjun Cai Ye Xu | 2016 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2016,28,6: | 14 |
| 16 | A pulmonary source of infection in patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury leads to a worse outcome and poor recovery of kidney function显示文摘BACKGROUND:Hospital mortality rates are higher among patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury(SA-AKI)than among patients with sepsis.However,the pathogenesis underlying SA-AKI remains unclear.We hypothesized that the source of infection affects development of SA-AKI.We aim to explore the relationship between the anatomical source of infection and outcome in patients with SA-AKI.METHODS:Between January 2013 and January 2018,113 patients with SA-AKI admitted to our Emergency Center were identifi ed and divided into two groups:those with pulmonary infections and those with other sources of infection.For each patient,we collected data from admission until either discharge or death.We also recorded the clinical outcome after 90 days for the discharged patients.RESULTS:The most common source of infection was the lung(52/113 cases,46%),followed by gastrointestinal(GI)(25/113 cases,22.1%)and urinary(22/113,19.5%)sources.Our analysis showed that patients with SA-AKI had a significantly worse outcome(30/52 cases,P<0.001)and poorer kidney recovery(P=0.015)with pulmonary sources of infection than those infected by another source.Data also showed that patients not infected by a pulmonary source more likely experienced shock(28/61 cases,P=0.037).CONCLUSION:This study demonstrated that the source of infection infl uenced the outcome of SA-AKI patients in an independent manner.Lung injury may influence renal function in an asyet undetermined manner as the recovery of kidney function was poorer in SA-AKI patients with a pulmonary source of infection. | Yi-wen Fan Shao-wei Jiang Jia-meng Chen Hui-qi Wang Dan Liu Shu-ming Pan Cheng-jin Gao | 2020 | World Journal of Emergency Medicine2020,11,1: | 14 |

| 19 | Chimeric antigen receptor T cell targeting EGFRvIII for metastatic lung cancer therapy显示文摘Lung cancer is the most common incident cancer and the leading cause of cancer death. In recent years, the development of tumor immunotherapy especially chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell has shown a promising future. Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvlll) is a tumor-specific mutation expressed in various types of tumors and has been detected in non-small cell lung cancer with a mutation rate of 10%. Thus, EGFRvIII is a potential antigen for targeted lung cancer therapy. In this study, CAR vectors were constructed and transfected into virus-packaging cells. Then, activated T cells were infected with retrovirus harvested from stable virus-producing single clone cell lines. CAR expression on the surfaces of the T cells was detected by flow cytometry and Western blot. The function of CAR-T targeting EGFRvIII was then evaluated. The EGFRvIII-CAR vector was successfully constructed and confirmed by DNA sequencing. A stable virus-producing cell line was produced from a single clone by limited dilution. The culture conditions for the cell line, including cell density, temperature, and culture medium were optimized. After infection with retrovirus, CAR was expressed on more than 90% of the T cells. The proliferation of CAR-T cells were induced by cytokine and specific antigen in vitro. More importantly, EGFRvIII-CART specifically and efficiently recognized and killed A549-EGFRvIII cells with an effector/target ratio of 10:1 by expressing and releasing cytokines, including perforin, granzyme B, IFN-γ, and TNF-α. The in vivo study indicated that the metastasis of A549-EGFRvIII cells in mice were inhibited by EGFRvIII-CART cells, and the survival of the mice was significantly prolonged with no serious side effects. EGFRvIII-CART showed significantly efficient antitumor activity against lung cancer cells expressing EGFRvlll in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, CAR-T targeting EGFRvIII is a potential therapeutic strategy in preventing recurrence and metastasis of lung cancer after surgery. | Zhao Zhang Jun Jiang Xiaodong Wu Mengyao Zhang Dan Luo Renyu Zhang Shiyou Li Youwen He Huijie Bian Zhinan Chen | 2019 | Frontiers of Medicine2019,13,1: | 11 |
| 20 | Protective Effects of Chaihu Shugan San(柴胡疏肝散) on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Rats with Insulin Resistance显示文摘Objective: To investigate the protective effects of Chinese medicine formulation Chaihu Shugan San(柴胡疏肝散, CHSGS) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) in rats with insulin resistance(IR) and its molecular mechanisms. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups: the control group, the model group, Dongbao Gantai group(东宝肝泰, DBGT, 0.09 g methionine/kg), CHSGS high-dose group(CHSG-H, 12.6 g crude drug/kg), CHSGS medium-dose group(CHSG-M, 6.3 g crude drug/kg), and CHSGS low-dose group(CHSG-L, 3.15 g crude drug/kg). After establishing the NAFLD rat model and treatment for 8 weeks, total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), free fatty acid(FFA), fasting blood glucose(FBG), fasting insulin(FINS) contents in blood serum, and TC, TG contents in the hepatic homogenate were measured by an automatic biochemical analyzer, and a homeostasis model assessment was applied to assess the status of IR, insulin sensitivity index(ISI), and homeostasis model assessment for insulin secretion(HOMA-IS). The expression levels of adiponectin and leptin mRNA in liver tissue were analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Pathological changes of livers were observed by hematoxylineosin staining of paraffin section. Results: Compared with the model group, the serum levels of TC, TG, FFA, FBG, FINS, IRI, ISI, and the liver levels of TC and TG in CHSG-H, CHSG-M, CHSG-L groups showed significant declines(P<0.01 or P<0.05); the serum levels of HDL-C, HOMA-IS were significantly increased(P<0.01 or P<0.05); the expression of leptin mRNA was dramatically decreased and the expression of adiponectin mRNA was increased in the hepatic tissue(P<0.01 or P<0.05). The fatty deposition of liver cells could also be alleviated. Conclusion: CHSGS could up-regulate the expression of adiponectin mRNA and down-regulate the expression of leptin mRNA on the liver, suggesting the CHSGS had positive therapeutic effect on NAFLD in rats with IR. | JIANG Wei-ning LI Dan JIANG Tao GUO Jiao CHEN Yan-fen WANG Jie ZHOU Yun YANG Chao-yan TANG Chun-ping | 2018 | Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine2018,24,2: | 10 |
