| 1 | Painful intervertebral disc degeneration and inflammation:from laboratory evidence to clinical interventions显示文摘Low back pain(LBP),as a leading cause of disability,is a common musculoskeletal disorder that results in major social and economic burdens.Recent research has identified inflammation and related signaling pathways as important factors in the onset and progression of disc degeneration,a significant contributor to LBP.Inflammatory mediators also play an indispensable role in discogenic LBP.The suppression of LBP is a primary goal of clinical practice but has not received enough attention in disc research studies.Here,an overview of the advances in inflammation-related pain in disc degeneration is provided,with a discussion on the role of inflammation in IVD degeneration and pain induction.Puncture models,mechanical models,and spontaneous models as the main animal models to study painful disc degeneration are discussed,and the underlying signaling pathways are summarized.Furthermore,potential drug candidates,either under laboratory investigation or undergoing clinical trials,to suppress discogenic LBP by eliminating inflammation are explored.We hope to attract more research interest to address inflammation and pain in IDD and contribute to promoting more translational research. | Feng-Juan Lyu Haowen Cui Hehai Pan Kenneth MC Cheung Xu Cao James C.Iatridis Zhaomin Zheng | 2021 | Bone Research2021，9，1： | 24 |
| 2 | Melatonin alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration by disrupting the IL-1β/NF-κB-NLRP3 inflammasome positive feedback loop显示文摘The inflammatory response is induced by the overexpression of inflammatory cytokines, mainly interleukin(IL)-1β, and is one of the main causes of intervertebral disc degeneration(IVDD). NLR pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3) inflammasome activation is an important source of IL-1β. As an anti-inflammatory neuroendocrine hormone, melatonin plays various roles in different pathophysiological conditions. However, its roles in IVDD are still not well understood and require more examination. First, we demonstrated that melatonin delayed the progression of IVDD and relieved IVDD-related low back pain in a rat needle puncture IVDD model;moreover, NLRP3 inflammasome activation(NLRP3, p20, and IL-1β levels) was significantly upregulated in severely degenerated human discs and a rat IVDD model. Subsequently, an IL-1β/NF-κB-NLRP3 inflammasome activation positive feedback loop was found in nucleus pulposus(NP) cells that were treated with IL-1β. In these cells, expression of NLRP3 and p20 was significantly increased, NF-κB signaling was involved in this regulation, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(mt ROS)production increased. Furthermore, we found that melatonin disrupted the IL-1β/NF-κB-NLRP3 inflammasome activation positive feedback loop in vitro and in vivo. Melatonin treatment decreased NLRP3, p20, and IL-1β levels by inhibiting NF-κB signaling and downregulating mt ROS production. Finally, we showed that melatonin mediated the disruption of the positive feedback loop of IL-1β in vivo. In this study, we showed for the first time that IL-1β promotes its own expression by upregulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Furthermore, melatonin disrupts the IL-1β positive feedback loop and may be a potential therapeutic agent for IVDD. | Fan Chen Guowei Jiang Hui Liu Zemin Li Yuxin Pei Hua Wang Hehai Pan Haowen Cui Jun Long Jianru Wang Zhaomin Zheng | 2020 | Bone Research2020，8，2： | 18 |
| 3 | “Buckets effect”in the kinetics of electrocatalytic reactions显示文摘In this study,we systematically investigated the effect of proton concentration on the kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)on Pt(111)in acidic solutions.Experimental results demonstrate a rectangular hyperbolic relationship,i.e.,the ORR current excluding the effect of other variables increases with proton concentration and then tends to a constant value.We consider that this is caused by the limitation of ORR kinetics by the trace oxygen concentration in the solution,which determines the upper limit of ORR kinetics.A model of effective concentration is further proposed for rectangular hyperbolic relationships:when the reactant concentration is high enough to reach a critical saturation concentration,the effective reactant concentration will become a constant value.This could be due to the limited concentration of a certain reactant for reactions involving more than one reactant or the limited number of active sites available on the catalyst.Our study provides new insights into the kinetics of electrocatalytic reactions,and it is important for the proper evaluation of catalyst activity and the study of structureperformance relationships. | Haowen Cui Yan-Xia Chen | 2024 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2024，89，2： | 0 |
| 4 | Binary molten salt in situ synthesis of sandwich-structure hybrids of hollowβ-Mo2C nanotubes and N-doped carbon nanosheets for hydrogen evolution reaction显示文摘Focused exploration of earth-abundant and cost-efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts with superior hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)performance is very important for large-scale and efficient electrolysis of water.Herein,a sandwich composite structure(designed as MS-Mo2C@NCNS)ofβ-Mo2C hollow nanotubes(HNT)and N-doped carbon nanosheets(NCNS)is designed and prepared using a binary NaCl–KCl molten salt(MS)strategy for HER.The temperature-dominant Kirkendall formation mechanism is tentatively proposed for such a three-dimensional hierarchical framework.Due to its attractive structure and componential synergism,MS-Mo2C@NCNS exposes more effective active sites,confers robust structural stability,and shows significant electrocatalytic activity/stability in HER,with a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and an overpotential of only 98 mV in 1 M KOH.Density functional theory calculations point to the synergistic effect of Mo2C HNT and NCNS,leading to enhanced electronic transport and suitable adsorption free energies of H*(ΔGH*)on the surface of electroactive Mo2C.More significantly,the MS-assisted synthetic methodology here provides an enormous perspective for the commercial development of highly active non-noble metal electrocatalysts toward efficient hydrogen evolution. | Tianyu Gong Yang Liu Kai Cui Jiali Xu Linrui Hou Haowen Xu Ruochen Liu Jianlin Deng Changzhou Yuan | 2023 | Carbon Energy2023，5，12： | 0 |
| 5 | Evaluation on ChatGPT for Chinese Language Understanding显示文摘ChatGPT has attracted extension attention of academia and industry.This paper aims to evaluate ChatGPT in Chinese language understanding capability on 6 tasks using 11 datasets.Experiments indicate that ChatGPT achieved competitive results in sentiment analysis,summary,and reading comprehension in Chinese,while it is prone to factual errors in closed-book QA.Further,on two more difficult Chinese understanding tasks,that is,idiom fill-in-the-blank and cants understanding,we found that a simple chain-of-thought prompt can improve the accuracy of ChatGPT in complex reasoning.This paper further analyses the possible risks of using ChatGPT based on the results.Finally,we briefly describe the research and development progress of our ChatBIT. | Linhan Li Huaping Zhang Chunjin Li Haowen You Wenyao Cui | 2023 | Data Intelligence2023，5，4： | 0 |
