| 1 | Efficacy and safety of Yinchenwuling powder for hyperlipidemia: a systematic review and Meta-analysis显示文摘OBJECTIVE:To assess the clinical effectiveness and adverse effects of Yinchenwuling powder(YCWLP)in the treatment of hyperlipidemia using Meta-analysis.METHODS:Seven electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials designed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of YCWLP for hyperlipidemia published in any language prior to February 2015.Two reviewers independently identified articles,extracted data,assessed quality,and cross-checked the results.Revman 5.3 was used to analyze the data.RESULTS:Only five randomized controlled trials with poor methodology were included in the analy-sis.The five trials compared YCWLP with conventional lipid-lowering drugs.Meta-analysis indicated that YCWLP was more effective at the levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides,while increasing the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol without serious adverse effects.However,it was not more effective than lipid-lowering drugs in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and improving hemorheology.CONCLUSION:YCWLP appeared to improve lipid levels.However,given the high risk of bias among the trials,we could not conclude that YCWLP was beneficial to patients with hyperlipidemia.More rigorous trials are required to provide stronger evidence for the conclusion. | Yao Haiqiang Zhang Zengliang Wang Ji Zuo Jiacheng Chen Yu Zhu Libing Li Xiaoke Yang Zheng Wang Zisong Sun Ranran Xu Xuanxuan Li Changming Wu Yanling Li Lingru Wang Qi | 2016 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2016,36,2: | 11 |
| 2 | Highly efficient heritable genome editing in wheat using an RNA virus and bypassing tissue culture.显示文摘Genome editing provides novel strategies for improving plant traits,but relies on current genetic transformation and plant regeneration procedures,which can be inefficient.We have engineered a barley stripe mosaic virus(BSMV)-based sgRNA delivery vector(BSMV-sg)that is effective in performing heritable genome editing in Cas9-transgenic wheat plants.Mutated progenies were present in the next generation at frequencies ranging from 12.9%to 100%in three different wheat varieties,and 53.8%to 100%of mutants were virus-free.We also achieved multiplex mutagenesis in progeny using a pool of BSMV-sg vectors harboring different sgRNAs.Furthermore,we devised a virus-induced transgene-free editing procedure(VITF-Edit)to generate Cas9-free wheat mutants by crossing BSMV-infected Cas9-transgenic wheat pollen with wild-type wheat.Our study provides a robust,convenient and tissue culture-free approach for genome editing in wheat through virus infection. | Tingdong Li Jiacheng Hu Yu Sun Boshu Li Dingliang Zhang Wenli Li Jinxing Liu Dawei Li Caixia Gao Yongliang Zhang Yanpeng Wang | 2021 | Molecular Plant2021,14,11: | 10 |
| 3 | One-pot hydrothermal fabrication of α-Fe_2O_3@C nanocomposites for electrochemical energy storage显示文摘A facile hydrothermal method was developed for the preparation of Fe_2O_3@C nanocomposites using FeCl_3·6H_2O as iron source and glucose as carbon source under alkaline condition. The morphology and structure of the as-prepared product were identified by transmission electron microscopy(TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). The as-prepare α-Fe_2O_3@C nanocomposites were employed for supercapacitor electrode material. The synergistic combination of carbon electrical double-layer capacitance and α-Fe_2O_3 pseudo-capacitance established such nanocomposites as versatile platform for high performance supercapacitors. The synthesis method developed here is expected to obtain other metal oxide/carbon composite. | Maiyong Zhu Jiarui Kan Jianmei Pan Wenjie Tong Qi Chen Jiacheng Wang Songjun Li | 2019 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2019,28,1: | 9 |
| 4 | Factors affecting genomic selection revealed by empirical evidence in maize显示文摘Genomic selection(GS) as a promising molecular breeding strategy has been widely implemented and evaluated for plant breeding, because it has remarkable superiority in enhancing genetic gain, reducing breeding time and expenditure, and accelerating the breeding process. In this study the factors affecting prediction accuracy(rMG) in GS were evaluated systematically, using six agronomic traits(plant height, ear height, ear length, ear diameter,grain yield per plant and hundred-kernel weight) evaluated in one natural and two biparental populations. The factors examined included marker density, population size, heritability,statistical model, population relationships and the ratio of population size between the training and testing sets, the last being revealed by resampling individuals in different proportions from a population. Prediction accuracy continuously increased as marker density and population size increased and was positively correlated with heritability; rMGshowed a slight gain when the training set increased to three times as large as the testing set. Low predictive performance between unrelated populations could be attributed to different allele frequencies, and predictive ability and prediction accuracy could be improved by including more related lines in the training population. Among the seven statistical models examined, including ridge regression best linear unbiased prediction(RR-BLUP), genomic BLUP(GBLUP), Bayes A, Bayes B, Bayes C, Bayesian least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(Bayesian LASSO), and reproducing kernel Hilbert space(RKHS), the RKHS and additive-dominance model(Add + Dom model) showed credible ability for capturing non-additive effects, particularly for complex traits with low heritability. Empirical evidence generated in this study for GS-relevant factors will help plant breeders to develop GS-assisted breeding strategies for more efficient development of varieties. | Xiaogang Liu Hongwu Wang Hui Wang Zifeng Guo Xiaojie Xu Jiacheng Liu Shanhong Wang Wen-Xue Li Cheng Zou Boddupalli M.Prasanna Michael S.Olsen Changling Huang Yunbi Xu | 2018 | The Crop Journal2018,6,4: | 8 |
| 5 | Regulation of the inflammatory cycle by a controllable release hydrogel for eliminating postoperative inflammation after discectomy显示文摘Surgery is the final choice for most patients with intervertebral disc degeneration(IDD).Operation-caused trauma will cause inflammation in the intervertebral disc.Serious inflammation will cause tissue defects and induce tissue degeneration,IDD recurrence and the occurrence of other diseases.Therefore,we proposed a scheme to treat recurrence after discectomy by inhibiting inflammation with an aspirin(ASP)-loaded hydrogel to restore the mechanical stability of the spine and relieve local inflammation.ASP-liposomes(ASP-Lips)were incorporated into a photocrosslinkable gelatin-methacryloyl(GelMA)via mixing.This material can effectively alleviate inflammation by inhibiting the release of high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.We further assessed the expression of inflammatory cytokines,such as interleukin 6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and degeneration-related factors,such as type II collagen(COL-2),Aggrecan,matrix metallopeptidases-3(MMP-3),MMP-13,a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4(ADAMTS-4)and ADAMTS-5 in rat nucleus pulpous cells.The level of IDD was analyzed through H&E,safranin-O staining and immunohistochemistry in rabbit samples.In vitro,we found that ASP-Lip@GelMA treatment significantly decreased inflammatory cytokines,MMP-3 and-13,and ADAMTS-4 and-5 and up-regulated COL-2 and Aggrecan via the inhibited release of HMGB-1 from the nucleus.In vivo,ASP-Lip@GelMA can effectively inhibit inflammation of local tissue after disc surgery and fill local tissue defects.This composite hydrogel system is a promising way to treat the recurrence of IDD after surgery without persistent complications. | Yu Liu Jiacheng Du Peng Peng Ruoyu Cheng Jiayi Lin Congxin Xu Huilin Yang Wenguo Cui Haiqing Mao Yuling Li Dechun Geng | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021,6,1: | 6 |
| 6 | Kiwifruit Genome Database(KGD):a comprehensive resource for kiwifruit genomics显示文摘Kiwifruit(Actinidia spp.)plants produce economically important fruits containing abundant,balanced phytonutrients with extraordinarily high vitamin C contents.Since the release of the first kiwifruit reference genome sequence in 2013,large volumes of genome and transcriptome data have been rapidly accumulated for a handful of kiwifruit species.To efficiently store,analyze,integrate,and disseminate these large-scale datasets to the research community,we constructed the Kiwifruit Genome Database(KGD;http://kiwifruitgenome.org/).The database currently contains all publicly available genome and gene sequences,gene annotations,biochemical pathways,transcriptome profiles derived from public RNA-Seq datasets,and comparative genomic analysis results such as syntenic blocks and homologous gene pairs between different kiwifruit genome assemblies.A set of user-friendly query interfaces,analysis tools and visualization modules have been implemented in KGD to facilitate translational and applied research in kiwifruit,which include JBrowse,a popular genome browser,and the NCBI BLAST sequence search tool.Other notable tools developed within KGD include a genome synteny viewer and tools for differential gene expression analysis as well as gene ontology(GO)term and pathway enrichment analysis. | Junyang Yue Jiacheng Liu Wei Tang Ya Qing Wu Xiaofeng Tang Wei Li Ying Yang Lihuan Wang Shengxiong Huang Congbing Fang Kun Zhao Zhangjun Fei Yongsheng Liu Yi Zheng | 2020 | Horticulture Research2020,7,1: | 6 |
| 7 | Evaluating the Accuracy of ERA5 Wave Reanalysis in the Water Around China显示文摘Wave parameters, such as wave height and wave period, are important for human activities, such as navigation, ocean engineering and sediment transport, etc. In this study, wave data from six buoys around Chinese waters, are used to assess the quality of wave height and wave period in the ERA5 reanalysis of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Annual hourly data with temporal resolution are used. The difference between the significant wave height(SWH) of ERA 5 and that of the buoy varies from-0.35 m to 0.30 m for the three shallow locations;for the three deep locations, the variation ranges from-0.09 m to 0.09 m. The ERA5 SWH data show positive biases, indicating an overall overestimation for all locations, except for E2 and S1 where underestimation is observed. During the tropical cyclone period, a large(about 32%) underestimation of the maximum SWH in the ERA5 data is observed. Hence, the ERA5 SWH data cannot be used for design applications without site-specific validation. The difference between the annual wave period from ERA5 and the mean wave period from the buoys varies from-1.31 s to 0.4 s. Inter-comparisons suggest that the ERA5 dataset is consistent with the annual mean SWH. However, for the average period, the performance is not good, and half of the correlation coefficients in the four points are less 50%. Overall, the deep water area simulation effect is better than that in the shallow water. | SHI Hongyuan CAO Xuefeng LI Qingjie LI Delei SUN Jiacheng YOU Zaijin SUN Qingying | 2021 | Journal of Ocean University of China2021,20,1: | 5 |
| 8 | A UV-B-responsive glycosyltransferase,OsUGT706C2,modulates flavonoid metabolism in rice显示文摘Although natural variations in rice flavonoids exist, and biochemical characterization of a few flavonoid glycosyltransferases has been reported, few studies focused on natural variations in tricin-lignan-glycosides and their underlying genetic basis. In this study, we carried out metabolic profiling of tricin-lignan-glycosides and identified a major quantitative gene annotated as a UDPdependent glycosyltransferase OsUGT706C2 by metabolite-based genome-wide association analysis. The putative flavonoid glycosyltransferase OsUGT706C2 was characterized as a flavonoid 7-O-glycosyltransferas in vitro and in vivo. Although the in vitro enzyme activity of OsUGT706C2 was similar to that of OsUGT706D1, the expression pattern and induced expression profile of OsUGT706C2 were very different from those of OsUGT706D1. Besides, OsUGT706C2 was specifically induced by UV-B. Constitutive expression of OsUGT706C2 in rice may modulate phenylpropanoid metabolism at both the transcript and metabolite levels. Furthermore, overexpressing OsUGT706C2 can enhance UV-B tolerance by promoting ROS scavenging in rice. Our findings might make it possible to use the glycosyltransferase OsUGT706C2 for crop improvement with respect to UVB adaptation and/or flavonoid accumulation, which may contribute to stable yield. | Feng Zhang Hao Guo Jiacheng Huang Chenkun Yang Yufei Li Xuyang Wang Lianghuan Qu Xianqing Liu Jie Luo | 2020 | Science China(Life Sciences)2020,63,7: | 5 |

| 10 | Application of next-generation sequencing to screen for pathogenic mutations in 123 unrelated Chinese patients with Marfan syndrome or a related disease显示文摘Marfan syndrome(MFS) is a systemic connective tissue disease principally affecting the ocular, skeletal and cardiovascular systems. This autosomal dominant disorder carries a prevalence of 1:3,000 to 1:5,000. This study aims to define the mutational spectrum of MFS related genes in Chinese patients and to establish genotype-phenotype correlations in MFS. Panel-based targeted next-generation sequencing was used to analyze the FBN1, TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 genes in 123 unrelated Chinese individuals with MFS or a related disease. Genotype-phenotype correlation analyses were performed in mutation-positive patients. The results showed that 97 cases/families(78.9%;97/123) harbor at least one(likely) pathogenic mutation, most of which were in FBN1;four patients had TGFBR1/2 mutations;and one patient harbored a SMAD3 mutation. Three patients had two FBN1 mutations, and all patients showed classical MFS phenotypes. Patients with a dominant negative-FBN1 mutation had a higher prevalence of ectopia lentis(EL). Patients carrying a haploinsufficiency-FBN1 mutation tended to have aortic dissection without EL. This study extends the spectrum of genetic backgrounds of MFS and enriches our knowledge of genotype-phenotype correlations. | Jiacheng Li Chaoxia Lu Wei Wu Yaping Liu Rongrong Wang Nuo Si Xiaolu Meng Shuyang Zhang Xue Zhang | 2019 | Science China(Life Sciences)2019,62,12: | 4 |
| 11 | Microstructure and kinetics of hot deformation WE43 magnesium alloy显示文摘The effect of compression on the microstructures and flow behavior of WE43 magnesium alloy was investigated in this article. The relation-ship between flow stress and strain rate was discussed. According to the empirical formula ε = Aσ nexp( -Q RT), the value of heat activa-tion of WE43 magnesium alloys is 297.15 kJ/mol. A mechanism of deformation softening of WE43 alloy in testing hot deformation was identified to be dynamic recrystallization. | GAO Jiacheng WANG Qiang WANG Yong LI Wei NIU Wenjuan | 2008 | Rare Metals2008,27,4: | 4 |
| 12 | Recent Advances on Boosting the Cell Voltage of Aqueous Supercapacitors显示文摘Due to its ultra-fast charge/discharge rate,long cyclic life span,and environmental benignity,aqueous supercapacitor(SC)is considered as a proper nextgeneration energy storage device.Unfortunately,limited by undesirable water electrolysis and unreasonable electrode potential range,aqueous SC normally generates a narrow cell voltage,resulting in a low energy density.To address such challenge,enormous efforts have been made to construct high-voltage aqueous SCs.Despite these achievements,the systematic reviews about this field are still rare.To fill this knowledge gap,this review summarizes the recent advances about boosting the cell voltage of aqueous SCs.From the viewpoint of electrode,doping alkali cations,modulating the electrode mass ratio,and optimizing the surface charge density are regarded as three effective pathways to achieve this goal.However,adjusting the appropriate pH level,introducing redox mediators,and constructing“water-in-salt”electrolyte are other three universal routes from the electrolyte aspect.Furthermore,it is also effective to obtain the high-voltage aqueous SCs through asymmetric design,such as designing asymmetric SCs.The confronting challenges and future development tendency towards the high-voltage aqueous SCs are further discussed. | Qianzhi Gou Shuang Zhao Jiacheng Wang Meng Li Junmin Xue | 2020 | Nano-Micro Letters2020,12,8: | 4 |
| 13 | The use of supercytokines, immunocytokines, engager cytokines, and other synthetic cytokines in immunotherapy显示文摘Cytokines exert powerful immunomodulatory effects that are critical to physiology and pathology in humans.The application of natural cytokines in clinical studies has not been clearly established,and there are often problems associated with toxicity or lack of efficacy.The key reasons can be attributed to the pleiotropy of cytokine receptors and undesired activation of off-target cells.With a deeper understanding of the structural principles and functional signals of cytokine-receptor interactions,artificial modification of cytokine signaling through protein engineering and synthetic immunology has become an increasingly feasible and powerful approach.Engineered cytokines are designed to selectively target cells.Herein,the theoretical and experimental evidence of cytokine engineering is reviewed,and the“supercytokines”resulting from structural enhancement and the“immunocytokines”generated by antibody fusion are described.Finally,the“engager cytokines”formed by the crosslinking of cytokines and bispecific immune engagers and other synthetic cytokines formed by nonnatural analogs are also discussed. | Xiaohu Zheng Yaqi Wu Jiacheng Bi Yingying Huang Ying Cheng Yangyang Li Yuwei Wu Guoshuai Cao Zhigang Tian | 2022 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2022,19,2: | 4 |
| 14 | Variation of Yellow River Runoff and Its Influence on Salinity in Laizhou Bay显示文摘Salinity in estuaries has an important influence on sediment deposition,delta formation,and fishery economy.The change of runoff in Yellow River(YR),which is the largest river along the Bohai Sea,has an important effect on the salinity of the sea,particularly in Laizhou Bay.In this study,measured runoff data in Lijin hydrological station from 1950 to 2018 are adopted to examine the change of YR runoff into the sea.The study concludes that the runoff of YR is distributed unevenly throughout the year and the amount of runoff mainly concentrates during the flood season.Results show a decreasing trend at a significant level ofα=0.95,with a range of−6.17×10^9 m^3 yr−1.Three groups of runoff are set by using the Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model numerical model to analyze the change of salinity in Laizhou Bay.These modeled effects were compared with water level observations made by Bayuquan,Tanggu,and Penglai gauge stations and salinity surveys conducted by Longkou gauge station.Model results and observations of salinity distributions and coastal water level showed good agreement.We can conclude that the distribution of salinity in Laizhou Bay is high in the east and low in the west.Furthermore,it responded quickly to the change of the runoff from YR.Under conditions of high river discharge,the low-salinity zone increased in horizontal direction and reached the bottom in vertical direction. | SHI Hongyuan LI Qingjie SUN Jiacheng GAO Guandong SUI Yi QIAO Shouwen YOU Zaijin | 2020 | Journal of Ocean University of China2020,19,6: | 3 |
| 15 | Effect of an eco-friendly o/w emulsion stabilized with amphiphilic sodium alginate derivatives on lambda-cyhalothrin adsorption-desorption on natural soil minerals显示文摘The effects of amphiphilic O/W emulsions,stabilized by the alkyl polyglycoside(APG)or cholesterol-grafted sodium alginate(CSAD)/APG systems,on lambda-cyhalothrin adsorption/desorption mechanisms on natural soil minerals(i.e.,illite and kaolinite)were investigated.Sorption and desorption of lambda-cyhalothrin onto soil minerals was studied via batch equilibration to give insight into the adsorption equilibrium,kinetics,and thermodynamics of lambda-cyhalothrin adsorption onto minerals.The results indicate the following:(i)The adsorption processes for the APG system and CSAD/APG system include:rapid adsorption,slow adsorption,and adsorption equilibrium.The adsorption kinetics of pesticide on illite and kaolinite are in accordance with the Ho and McKay model,and the adsorption isotherm conforms to the Freundlich model.In addition,the adsorption processes of pesticide for the two systems on minerals were spontaneous and feasible(ΔG^0<0),endothermic(ΔH^0>0),and mainly involved chemical bonding(ΔH^0>60).(ii)The equilibrium adsorption percentages of the pesticide on illite for the APG system and CSAD/APG system were 42.4%and 64.8%,and the corresponding equilibrium adsorption percentages on kaolinite were 40.8%and 61.8%,respectively.Moreover,the pesticide adsorption rate K_(2-CSAD/APG)was faster than K_(2-APG),and its adsorption capacity K_(f-CSAD/APG )was greater than K_(f-APG).Meanwhile,the pesticide desorption K_(fd)in the CSAD/APG system was smaller than that in the APG system.As a result,this eco-friendly O/W emulsion based on amphiphilic sodium alginate derivatives might provide a green pesticide formulation,since it could reduce the amount of lambda-cyhalothrin entering aquatic systems to threaten non-target fish and invertebrate species. | Yang Peng Dunchao Xiao Gaobo Yu Yuhong Feng Jiacheng Li Xinyu Zhao Yiyuan Tang Longzheng Wang Quan Zhang | 2019 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2019,31,4: | 3 |
| 16 | Nanoscale engineering of conducting polymers for emerging applications in soft electronics显示文摘Soft electronics featuring exceptional mechanical compliance and excellent electrical performance hold great promise for applications in soft robotics,artificial intelligence,bio-integrated electronics,and wearable electronics.Intrinsically stretchable and conductive materials are crucial for soft electronics,enabling large-area and scalable fabrication,high device density,and good mechanical compliance.Conducting polymers are inherently stretchable and conductive.They can be precisely synthesized from vastly available building blocks,and thus they provide a fruitful platform for fabricating soft electronics.However,amorphous bulk-phase conducting polymers typically exhibit poor mechanical and electrical characteristics.Consequently,it is highly desirable to develop novel engineering approaches to overcome the intrinsic limitations of conducting polymers.In recent years,numerous engineering strategies have been developed to enhance their performances in soft electronic devices via constructing various nanostructures.In this review,we first summarize several unique methodologies to fabricate conducting polymer-based nanostructures.We then discuss how nanoscale engineering approaches can improve several crucial parameters,including electrical conductivity,stretchability,sensitivity,and self-healing property of conducting polymers.Moreover,we also discuss device-level integration of conducting polymer-based nanostructures with other materials for applications in skin-inspired electronics and bio-integrated electronics.Finally,we provide perspectives on challenges and future directions in engineering nanostructured conducting polymers for soft electronics. | Tao Wang Yiwen Bao Mengdi Zhuang Jiacheng Li Juncheng Chen Hangxun Xu | 2021 | Nano Research2021,14,9: | 3 |
| 17 | An operation optimization method of a fully mechanized coal mining face based on semi-physical virtual simulation显示文摘A mathematical hydraulic support self-tracking model for three-machine cooperative mining is proposed to address low efficiency and difficulties in strategy evaluation of a fully mechanized coal face.The proposed model uses the coordinates and traction speed of the shearer to calculate the frequency of the circular hydraulic support and realize the coordinated operation of the three-machine mining technology.A unity3d hardware-in-the-loop simulation experimental hearer and hydraulic support platform was used to validate the model of autonomous follow-up.The results indicate that collaborative control of coal mining allowed for an efficiency 3.76%higher than under automatic operation mode and 46.03%higher than under manual control;thus,The mathematical model provided an improved production efficiency of the fully mechanized mining face.The mathematical model also provides a more intelligent and reliable security support,and improves the intelligent level of hydraulic support follow-up control. | Hengbo Shi Jiacheng Xie Xuewen Wang Juanli Li Xing Ge | 2020 | International Journal of Coal Science & Technology2020,7,1: | 3 |
| 18 | Highly selective adsorption of CO over N2 on CuCl-loaded SAPO-34 adsorbent显示文摘Carbon monoxide(CO)/N2 separation is of importance for current chemical industry.However, CO/N2 separation remains a challenge due to the similar molecular size and the small variance of volatility of CO and N2.In this work, molecular sieve SAPO-34 was loaded with CuCl by monolayer dispersion method for the preparation of Cu(I) containing adsorbents.The resulted adsorbents were characterized via nitrogen adsorption/desorption at 77 K, X-ray fluorescence(XRF) and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The results indicated that CuCl was successful loaded into the molecular sieve and well-dispersed.CO and N2 single component adsorption isotherms were recorded under 298 K, 308 K and 318 K by using volumetric method.One of the CuCl-loaded SAPO-34 adsorbent exhibited a very high CO adsorption capacity of 1.84 mmol/g at 100 kPa,298 K and high CO/N2 selectivity. | Yaqi Wu Zhaoan Chen Bing Li Jiacheng Xing Hanbang Liu Yansi Tong Peng Tian Yunpeng Xu Zhongmin Liu | 2019 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2019,28,9: | 3 |
| 19 | Gamma-glutamyl Transpeptidase to Platelet Ratio Predicts Liver Injury in Hepatitis B e Antigen-negative Chronic Hepatitis B Patients With Normal Alanine Aminotransferase显示文摘Background and Aims:Chronic hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection is a serious health problem worldwide.Evaluating liver injury in patients with hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B(CHB)with detectable HBV DNA and normal alanine aminotransferase(ALT)is crucial to guide their clinical management.We aimed to investigate the stages of liver inflammation and fibrosis as well as the predictive accuracy of gamma-glutamyl transpepti-dase-to-platelet ratio(GPR)in these patients.Methods:A total of 184 treatment-naïve HBeAg-negative CHB pa-tients with detectable HBV DNA and normal ALT were enrolled.The Scheuer scoring system was used to classify liver inflammation and fibrosis.Results:The distribution of patients with different liver inflammation grades were as follows:G0,0(0%);G1,97(52.7%);G2,68(37.0%);G3,12(6.5%);and G4,7(3.8%).The distribution of patients with different liver fibrosis stages were as follows:S0,22(12.0%);S1,72(39.1%);S2,42(22.8%);S3,19(10.3%);and S4,29(15.8%).The areas under the re-ceiver operating characteristic(AUROC)curves of GPR in predicting significant inflammation,severe inflammation,and advanced inflammation were 0.723,0.895,and 0.952,respectively.The accuracy of GPR was significantly superior to that of ALT in predicting liver inflammation.The AUROCs of GPR in predicting significant fibrosis,severe fibrosis,and cirrhosis were 0.691,0.780,and 0.803,respectively.The predictive accuracy of GPR was significantly higher than that of aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index(APRI)and fibrosis index based on four factors(FIB-4)in identifying advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis,and it was superior to FIB-4 but comparable to APRI in identifying significant fibrosis.Conclusions:Nearly half of the HBeAg-negative CHB patients with detectable HBV DNA and normal ALT levels had significant liver inflammation or fibrosis.GPR can serve as an accurate predictor of liver inflammation and fibrosis in these patients. | Xiang-An Zhao Jian Wang Jie Wei Jiacheng Liu Guangmei Chen Li Wang Guiyang Wang Juan Xia Weihua Wu Shengxia Yin Xin Tong Xiaomin Yan Weimao Ding Xiaoxing Xiang Rui Huang Chao Wu | 2022 | Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology2022,10,2: | 3 |
| 20 | An inferred functional impact map of genetic variants in rice显示文摘Interpreting the functional impacts of genetic variants(GVs)is an important challenge for functional genomic studies in crops and next-generation breeding.Previous studies in rice(Oryza sativa)have focused mainly on the identification of GVs,whereas systematic functional annotation of GVs has not yet been performed.Here,we present a functional impact map of GVs in rice.We curated haplotype information for 17397026 GVs from sequencing data of 4726 rice accessions.We quantitatively evaluated the effects of missense mutations in coding regions in each haplotype based on the conservation of amino acid residues and obtained the effects of 918848 non-redundant missense GVs.Furthermore,we generated high-quality chromatin accessibility(CA)data from six representative rice tissues and used these data to train deep convolutional neural network models to predict the impacts of 5067405 GVs for CA in regulatory regions.We characterized the functional properties and tissue specificity of the GV effects and found that large-effect GVs in coding and regulatory regions may be subject to selection in different directions.Finally,we demonstrated how the functional impact map could be used to prioritize causal variants in mapping populations.This impact map will be a useful resource for accelerating gene cloning and functional studies in rice,and can be freely queried in RiceVarMap V2.0(http://ricevarmap.ncpgr.cn). | Hu Zhao Jiacheng Li Ling Yang Gang Qin Chunjiao Xia Xingbing Xu Yangmeng Su Yinmeng Liu Luchang Ming Ling-Ung Chen Lizhong Xiong Weibo Xie | 2021 | Molecular Plant2021,14,9: | 3 |
