| 1 | Clinicopathological characteristics in the differential diagnosis of hepatoid adenocarcinoma:A literature review显示文摘Hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is a rare but important special type of extrahepatic adenocarcinoma with clinicopathological presentation mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and prompt and correct diagnosis can be a challenge, especially in endemic areas with a high incidence of HCC. To date, HAC has only been reported in case series or single case reports, so we aimed to review the clinicopathological characteristics of HAC to obtain a more complete picture of this rare form of extrahepatic adenocarcinoma. All the articles about HAC published from 2001 to 2011 were reviewed, and clinicopathological findings were extracted for analysis. A late middle-aged male with high serum α-fetoprotein and atypical image finding of HCC should raise the suspicion of HAC, and characteristic pathological immunohistochemical stains can help with the differential diagnosis. Novel immunohistochemical markers may be useful to clearly differentiate HAC from HCC. Once metastatic HAC is diagnosed, the primary tumor origin should be identified for adequate treatment. The majority of HAC originates from the stomach, so panendoscopy should be arranged first. | Jiann-Sheng Su Yu-Tso Chen Ren-Ching Wang Chun-Ying Wu Shou-Wu Lee Teng-Yu Lee | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,3: | 75 |
| 2 | Evaluation of the effect of partial splenic embolization on platelet values for liver cirrhosis patients with thrombocytopenia显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of partial splenic embolization (PSE) on platelet values in liver cirrhosis patients with thrombocytopenia and to determine the effective embolization area for platelet values improvement. METHODS: Blood parameters and liver function indicators were measured on 10 liver cirrhosis patients (6 in Child-Pugh grade A and 4 in grade B) with thrombocytopenia (platelet values < 80 × 103/μL) before embolization. Computed tomography scan was also needed in advance to acquire the splenic baseline. After 2 to 3 d, angiography and splenic embolization were performed. A second computed tomography scan was made to confirm the embolization area after 2 to 3 wk of embolization. The blood parameters of patients were also examined biweekly during the 1 year follow-up period. RESULTS: According to the computed tomography images after partial splenic embolization, we divided all patients into two groups: low (< 30%), and high (≥ 30%) embolization area groups. The platelet values were increased by 3 times compared to baseline levels after 2 wk of embolization in high embolization area group. In addition, there were significant differences in platelet values between low and high embolization area groups. GPT values decreased significantly in all patients after 2 wk of embolization. The improvement in platelet and GPT values still persisted until 1 year after PSE. In addition, 3 of 4 (75%) Child-Pugh grade B patients progressed to grade A after 2 mo of PSE. The complicationrate in < 30% and ≥ 30% embolization area groups was 50% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Partial splenic embolization is an effective method to improve platelet values and GPT values in liver cirrhosis patients with thrombocytopenia and the ≥ 30% embolization area is meaningful for platelet values improvement. The relationship between the complication rate and embolization area needs further studies. | Chi-Ming Lee Ting-Kai Leung Hung-Jung Wang Wei-Hsing Lee Li-Kuo Shen Jean-Dean Liu Chun-Chao Chang Ya-Yen Chen | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,4: | 56 |
| 3 | Shoshonitic intrusive suite in SE Guangxi: Petrology and geochemistry显示文摘A NE-direction Mesozoic shoshonitic intrusive s黫te in SE Guangxi has been identified in terms of geological, petrological and geochemical investigations. The shoshonitic intrusives are characterized by enrichment of LILE, HFSE and LREE and no obvious Nb-Ta depletion, similar to those potassic rocks formed in within-plate and rifting environments. Unlike most shoshonitic rocks forming in arc settings, the SE Guangxi shoshonitic intrusives were likely generated during regional lithosphere extension induced by upwelling of asthenosphere mantle. | LI Xianhua ZHOU Hanwen LIU Ying LEE Chi-yu SUN Min CHEN Chenhong | 2000 | Chinese Science Bulletin2000,45,7: | 32 |
| 4 | Balthazar computed tomography severity index is superior to Ranson criteria and APACHE Ⅱ scoring system in predicting acute pancreatitis outcome显示文摘AIM: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a process with variable involvement of regional tissues or organ systems.Multifactorial scales included the Ranson, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE Ⅱ) systems and Balthazar computed tomography severity index (CTSI).The purpose of this review study was to assess the accuracy of CTSI, Ranson score, and APACHE Ⅱ score in course and outcome prediction of AP.METHODS: We reviewed 121 patients who underwent helical CT within 48 h after onset of symptoms of a first episode of AP between 1999 and 2003. Fourteen inappropriate subjects were excluded; we reviewed the 107 contrastenhanced CT images to calculate the CTSI. We also reviewed their Ranson and APACHE Ⅱ score. In addition, complications,duration of hospitalization, mortality rate, and other pathology history also were our comparison parameters.RESULTS: We classified 85 patients (79%) as having mild AP (CTSI <5) and 22 patients (21%) as having severe AP (CTSI ≥5). In mild group, the mean APACHE Ⅱ score and Ranson score was 8.6±1.9 and 2.4±1.2, and those of severe group was 10.2±2.1 and 3.1±0.8, respectively. The most common complication was pseudocyst and abscess and it presented in 21 (20%) patients and their CTSI was 5.9±1.4. A CTSI ≥5 significantly correlated with death,complication present, and prolonged length of stay.Patients with a CTSI ≥5 were 15 times to die than those CTSI <5, and the prolonged length of stay and complications present were 17 times and 8 times than that in CTSI <5,respectively.CONCLUSION: CTSI is a useful tool in assessing the severity and outcome of AP and the CTSI ≥5 is an index in our study. Although Ranson score and APACHE Ⅱ score also are choices to be the predictors for complications,mortality and the length of stay of AP, the sensitivity of them are lower than CTSI. | Ting-Kai Leung Chi-Ming Lee Shyr-Yi Lin Hsin-Chi Chen Hung-Jung Wang Li-Kuo Shen Ya-Yen Chen | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,38: | 29 |

| 6 | Full-color monolithic hybrid quantum dot nanoring micro light-emitting diodes with improved efficiency using atomic layer deposition and nonradiative resonant energy transfer显示文摘Full-color displays based on micro light-emitting diodes(μLEDs) can be fabricated on monolithic epitaxial wafers. Nanoring(NR) structures were fabricated on a green LED epitaxial wafer; the color of NR-μLEDs was tuned from green to blue through strain relaxation. An Al_2O_3 layer was deposited on the sidewall of NR-μLEDs,which improved the photoluminescence intensity by 143.7%. Coupling with the exposed multiple quantum wells through nonradiative resonant energy transfer, red quantum dots were printed to NR-μLEDs for a full-color display. To further improve the color purity of the red light, a distributed Bragg reflector is developed to reuse the excitation light. | SUNG-WEN HUANG CHEN CHIH-CHIANG SHEN TINGZHU WU ZHEN-YOU LIAO LEE-FENG CHEN JIA-ROU ZHOU CHUN-FU LEE CHIH-HAO LIN CHIEN-CHUNG LIN CHIN-WEI SHER PO-TSUNG LEE AN-JYE TZOU ZHONG CHEN HAO-CHUNG KUO | 2019 | Photonics Research2019,7,4: | 23 |
| 7 | Ten-year survival of hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation as a first-line treatment显示文摘AIM: To investigate the long-term survival and prognostic factors in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation(RFA) as a first-line treatment.METHODS: From 2000 to 2013, 316 consecutivepatients with 404 HCC(1.0-5.0 cm; mean: 3.2 ± 1.1 cm) underwent ultrasonography-guided percutaneous RFA as a first-line treatment. There were 250 males and 66 females with an average age of 60.1 ± 10.8 years(24-87 years). Patients were followed for 1 year to > 10 years after RFA(234, 181, 136, and 71 for 3, 5, 7, and 10 years, respectively). Overall local response rates and long-term survival rates were assessed. Survival results were generated using Kaplan-Meier estimates, and multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox regression model. RESULTS: In total, 548 RFA sessions were performed and major complications occurred in 10 sessions(1.8%). Local tumor progression and/or new tumor development were observed in 43.3%(132/305) of the patients during the follow-up period. Overall 5-and 10-year survival rates were 49.7% and 28.4%, respectively. Based on multivariate analysis, three factors were identified as independent prognostic factors for overall survival: Child-Pugh classification(HR = 4.054, P < 0.001), portal vein hypertension(HR = 2.743, P = 0.002), and tumor number(HR = 2.693, P = 0.003). The local progression-free 5- and 10-year survival rates were 42.7% and 19.5%. In addition to the Child-Pugh classification and the number of tumors, the number of RFA sessions(HR = 1.550, P = 0.002) was associated with local progression-free survival.CONCLUSION: RFA can achieve acceptable outcomes for HCC patients as a first-line treatment, especially for patients with Child-Pugh class A, patients with a single tumor and patients without portal vein hypertension. | Wei Yang Kun Yan S Nahum Goldberg Muneeb Ahmed Jung-Chieh Lee Wei Wu Zhong-Yi Zhang Song Wang Min-Hua Chen | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,10: | 20 |
| 8 | Synergistic Effects of Chuanxiong-Chishao Herb-Pair on Promoting Angiogenesis at Network Pharmacological and Pharmacodynamic Levels显示文摘Objective: To investigate the synergistic effects of Chuanxiong-Chishao herb-pair(CCHP) on promoting angiogenesis in silico and in vivo. Methods: The mechanisms of action of an herb-pair, ChuanxiongChishao, were investigated using the network pharmacological and pharmacodynamic strategies involving computational drug target prediction and network analysis, and experimental validation. A set of network pharmacology methods were created to study the herbs in the context of targets and diseases networks, including prediction of target profiles and pharmacological actions of main active compounds in Chuanxiong and Chishao. Furthermore, the therapeutic effects and putative molecular mechanisms of Chuanxiong-Chishao actions were experimentally validated in a chemical-induced vascular insufficiency model of transgenic zebrafish in vivo. The m RNA expression of the predicted targets were further analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Results: The computational prediction results found that the compounds in Chuanxiong have antithrombotic, antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic, and antiatherosclerotic activities, which were closely related to protecting against hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction and heart failure. In addition, compounds in Chishao were found to participate in anti-inflammatory effect and analgesics. Particularly, estrogen receptor α(ESRα) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α(HIF-1α) were the most important potential protein targets in the predicted results. In vivo experimental validation showed that post-treatment of tetramethylpyrazine hydrochloride(TMP·HCl) and paeoniflorin(PF) promoted the regeneration of new blood vessels in zebrafish involving up-regulating ESRα m RNA expression. Co-treatment of TMP·HCl and PF could enhance the vessel sprouting in chemical-induced vascular insufficiency zebrafish at the optimal compatibility proportion of PF 10 μmol/L with TMP·HCl 1 μmol/L. Conclusions: The network pharmacological strategies combining drug target prediction and network analysis identified some putative targets of CCHP. Moreover, the transgenic zebrafish experiments demonstrated that the Chuanxiong-Chishao combination synergistically promoted angiogenic activity, probably involving ESRα signaling pathway. | WANG Yan GUO Gang YANG Bin-rui XIN Qi-qi LIAO Qi-wen LEE Simon Ming-Yuen HU Yuan-jia CHEN Ke-ji CONG Wei-hong | 2017 | Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine2017,23,9: | 19 |
| 9 | Insulin resistance is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic hepatitis C infection显示文摘AIM:To elucidate the role of insulin resistance(IR) and serum adiponectin level in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) associated with chronic hepatitis C.METHODS:Clinical and biochemical characteristics were collected from 165 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed HCC.Homeostasis model assessment of IR(HOMA-IR) and serum adiponectin level were investigated in 188 patients with different stages of hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection.RESULTS:Among HCC patients,type 2 diabetics(DM) was more prevalent in HCV subjects(35.6%,n = 59) compared to hepatitis B virus(HBV;12.7%,n = 63) or non-HBV,non-HCV cases(7.1%,n = 28).In patients with chronic hepatitis C,HCC subjects had higher blood sugar(P < 0.001),insulin level(P = 0.003) and HOMAIR(P = 0.018) than those with chronic hepatitis and advanced fibrosis.Age,male sex and body mass index were significantly associated with serum adiponectin level,whereas HOMA-IR was not.Based on stepwise logistic regression analysis,age(OR:1.124,P < 0.001),serum insulin level(OR:1.585,P < 0.001),HOMA-IR(OR:0.495,P = 0.001),DM(OR:11.601,P = 0.002) and male sex(OR:3.877,P = 0.016) were independently associated with HCC.This result was similar even if the diabetic subjects were excluded for analysis.CONCLUSION:Insulin resistance measured by HOMAIR,regardless of the presence of diabetes,is significantly associated with HCC development in patients with chronic HCV infection. | Chao-Hung Hung Jing-Houng Wang Tsung-Hui Hu Chien-Hung Chen Kuo-Chin Chang Yi-Hao Yen YuanHung Kuo Ming-Chao Tsai Chuan-Mo Lee | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,18: | 18 |
| 10 | Usefulness of serum des-γ-carboxy prothrombin in detection of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To evaluate whether DCP is better than AFP for differentiating HCC from nonmalignant liver disease and further evaluate the usefulness of DCP in early diagnosis of small HCC.METHODS: Serum DCP and AFP levels were determined in 127 patients. Among these patients, 32 were with noncirrhotic chronic hepatitis, 34 were with compensated cirrhosis, and 61 were with HCC. The cut-off value for the DCP and AFP were set as 40 mAU/mL and 20 ng/mL,respectively. To compare the diagnostic value of DCP and AFP in distinguishing HCC from nonmalignant chronic liver disease, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed for each assay.RESULTS: The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of DCP were higher than AFP in detecting HCC (81.9%, 77%,and 86.4% vs 68.5%, 59%, and 77.3%, respectively).The area under the ROC (AUROC) curves revealed that DCP had a better accuracy than AFP in diagnosis of HCC (0.85 [95%CT, 0.78-0.91] vs 0.73 [95%CI, 0.65-0.81],P = 0.013). In 39 patients with solitary HCC, the positive rates of DCP were 100% in patients with tumor size larger than 3 cm, 66.7% in patients with tumor size 2-3 cm and50% in patients with tumor size less than 2 cm. The positive rates of AFP in patients with tumor size larger than 3 cm, 2-3 cm and less than 2 cm were 55.6%, 50%,and 33.3%, respectively. The median level of DCP in HCC patients with tumor size larger than 3 cm was significantly higher than those with tumor size 2-3 cm and those with the size of less than 2 cm.CONCLUSION: Our study indicates that DCP has a better diagnostic value than AFP in differentiating HCC from nonmalignant chronic liver disease. DCP has not only a stronger correlation with HCC than AFP in tumor size but also more effectiveness than AFP in detecting small size of HCC. | Chaur-Shine Wang Chin-Lin Lin Hsi-Chang Lee Kuan-Yang Chen Ming-Feng Chiang Hung-Sheng Chen Tsung-Jung Lin | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,39: | 18 |
| 11 | CPS Modeling of CNC Machine Tool Work Processes Using an Instruction-Domain Based Approach显示文摘Building cyber-physical system(CPS) models of machine tools is a key technology for intelligent manufacturing. The massive electronic data from a computer numerical control(CNC) system during the work processes of a CNC machine tool is the main source of the big data on which a CPS model is established. In this work-process model, a method based on instruction domain is applied to analyze the electronic big data, and a quantitative description of the numerical control(NC) processes is built according to the G code of the processes. Utilizing the instruction domain, a work-process CPS model is established on the basis of the accurate, real-time mapping of the manufacturing tasks, resources, and status of the CNC machine tool. Using such models, case studies are conducted on intelligent-machining applications, such as the optimization of NC processing parameters and the health assurance of CNC machine tools. | Jihong Chen Jianzhong Yang Huicheng Zhou Hua Xiang Zhihong Zhu Yesong Li Chen-Han Lee Guangda Xu | 2015 | Engineering2015,1,2: | 17 |

| 13 | Difficulty with diagnosis of malignant pancreatic neoplasms coexisting with chronic pancreatitis显示文摘Chronic pancreatitis is a relatively common disease. We encountered two different cases of belatedly demonstrated pancreatic carcinoma featuring underlying chronic pancreatitis. The first case was one that was highly suspected as that of a malignancy based upon imaging study, but unfortunately, it could not be confirmed by intra-operative cytology at that time. Following this, the surgeon elected to perform only conservative bypass surgery for obstructive biliary complication. Peritoneal carcinomatosis was later noted and the patient finally died. The second case, a malignant mucinous neoplasm,was falsely diagnosed as a pseudocyst, based upon the lesion's sonographic appearance and associated elevated serum amylase levels. After suffering repeated hemoptysis,the patient was found to exhibit lung metastasis and peritoneal seeding. We reviewed some of the literature,including those studies discussing chronic pancreatitis predisposing to a malignant change. These two case analyses illustrate clearly that the diagnosis for such conditions, which is simply based upon imagery or pathological considerations may end up being one of a mistaken malignancy. Some of our suggestions for the treatment of such malignancies as revealed herein include,total pancreatomy for univocal mass lesion, and needle aspiration of lesion-contained tissue for amylase, CA199and CEA levels for a suspicious cystic pancreatic mass. | Ting-Kai Leung Chi-Ming Lee Fong-Chieh Wang Hsin-Chi Chen Hung-Jung Wang | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,32: | 15 |
| 14 | Analysis of Autopilot Disengagements Occurring During Autonomous Vehicle Testing显示文摘In present-day highly-automated vehicles, there are occasions when the driving system disengages and the human driver is required to take-over. This is of great importance to a vehicle's safety and ride comfort. In the U.S state of California, the Autonomous Vehicle Testing Regulations require every manufacturer testing autonomous vehicles on public roads to submit an annual report summarizing the disengagements of the technology experienced during testing. On 1 January 2016,seven manufacturers submitted their first disengagement reports:Bosch, Delphi, Google, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Tesla Motors. This work analyses the data from these disengagement reports with the aim of gaining abetter understanding of the situations in which a driver is required to takeover, as this is potentially useful in improving the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) Level 2 and Level 3 automation technologies.Disengagement events from testing are classified into different groups based on attributes and the causes of disengagement are investigated and compared in detail. The mechanisms and time taken for take-over transition occurred in disengagements are studied. Finally, recommendations for OEMs, manufacturers, and government organizations are also discussed. | Chen Lv Dongpu Cao Yifan Zhao Daniel J.

| 15 | Density of Helicobacterpylorimay affect the efficacy of eradication therapy and ulcer healing in patients with active duodenal ulcers显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the association of pre-treatment Helicobacter pylon(H, pylon) density with bacterial eradication and ulcer healing rates in patients with active duodenal ulcer. METHODS: One hundred and four consecutive duodenal ulcer outpatients with H. py/ori infection ascertained by gastric histopathology and 13C-urea breath test (UBT) were enrolled in this study. H. py/ori density was graded histologically according to the Sydney system (normal, mild, moderate, and marked). In each patient, lansoprazole (30mg b.i.d.), clarithromycin (500 mg b.i.d.) and amoxicillin (1g b.i.d.) were used for i week, then 30 mg lansoprazole once daily was continued for an additional 3 weeks. Followup endoscopy was performed at 4 weeks after completion of the therapy, and UBT was done at 4 and 8 weeks after completion of the therapy. RESULTS: The H. pylori eradication rates were 88.9 %/100.0 %, 94.3 %/100.0 %, and 69.7 %/85.2 %; and the ulcer healing rates were 88.9 %/100.0 %, 94.3 %/100.0 %,and 63.6 %/77.8 % (intention-to-treat/per protocol analysis) in the mild, moderate, and marked H. pyloridensity groups, respectively. The association of pretreatment H. pyloriderisity with the eradication rate and ulcer healing rate was both statistically significant (P=-0.013/0.006 and 0.002/<0.001, respectively; using results of intention-to-treat/per protocol analysis).CONCLUSION: Intragastric bacterial load may affect both the outcome of eradication treatment and ulcer healing in patients with active duodenal ulcer disease. | Yung-Chih Lai Teh-Hong Wang Shih-Hung Huang Sien-Sing Yang Chi-Hwa Wu Tzen-Kwan Chen Chia-Long Lee | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003,9,7: | 15 |
| 16 | Constrained large-eddy simulation and detached eddy simulation of flow past a commercial aircraft at 14 degrees angle of attack显示文摘With the development of computational power and numerical algorithms,computational fluid dynamics(CFD) has become an important strategy for the design of aircraft,which significantly reduces the reliance on wind-tunnel and flight tests.In this paper,we conducted a numerical investigation on the flow past a full commercial aircraft at Mach number 0.2 and 14 degrees angle of attack by means of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS),detached-eddy simulation(DES) and our newly developed constrained large-eddy simulation(CLES).The objective of this paper is to study the capability of these models in simulating turbulent flows.To our knowledge,this is the first large-eddy simulation method for full commercial aircraft simulation.The results show that the CLES can predict the mean statistical quantities well,qualitatively consistent with traditional methods,and can capture more small-scale structures near the surface of the aircraft with massive separations.Our study demonstrates that CLES is a promising alternative for simulating real engineering turbulent flows. | CHEN ShiYi CHEN YingChun XIA ZhenHua QU Kun SHI YiPeng XIAO ZuoLi LIU QiuHong CAI QingDong LIU Feng LEE Cunbiao ZHANG RiKui CAI JinSheng | 2013 | Science China(Physics,Mechanics & Astronomy)2013,56,2: | 14 |
| 17 | Current Progress on the Geological Record of Microbialites and Microbial Carbonates显示文摘This paper reviews the current progress and problems in the study of microbialites and microbial carbonates. Microbialites and microbial carbonates, formed during growth of microbes by their calcification and binding of detrital sediment, have recently become one of the most popular geological topics. They occur throughout the entire geological history, and bear important theoretical and economic significances due to their complex structures and formative processes. Microbialites are in place benthic microbial buildups, whereas microbial carbonates can be classified into two categories: stabilized microbial carbonates(i.e., carbonate microbialites, such as stromatolites and thrombolites) and mobilized microbial carbonates(i.e., microbial carbonate grains, such as oncoids and microbial lumps). Various texture, structures, and morphologies of microbialites and microbial carbonates hamper the systematic description and classification. Moreover, complex calcification pathways and diagenetic modifications further obscure the origin of some microbialites and microbial carbonates. Recent findings of abundant sponge spicules in previously identified 'microbialites' challenge the traditional views about the origins of these 'microbialites' and their implications to reef evolution. Microbialites and microbial carbonates did not always flourish in the aftermath of extinction events, which, together with other evidences, suggests that they are affected not only by metazoans but also by other geological factors. Their growth, development, and demise are also closely related to sea-level changes, due to their dependence on water depth, clarity, nutrient, and sunlight. Detailed studies on microbialites and microbial carbonates throughout geological history would certainly help understand causes and effects of major geological events as well as the coevolution of life and environment. | CHEN Jitao LEE Jeong-Hyun | 2014 | Acta Geologica Sinica(English Edition)2014,88,1: | 14 |
| 18 | The Qitai radio telescope显示文摘This study presents a general outline of the Qitai radio telescope(QTT)project.Qitai,the site of the telescope,is a county of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China,located in the east Tianshan Mountains at an elevation of about 1800 m.The QTT is a fully steerable,Gregorian-type telescope with a standard parabolic main reflector of 110 m diameter.The QTT has adopted an umbrella support,homology-symmetric lightweight design.The main reflector is active so that the deformation caused by gravity can be corrected.The structural design aims to ultimately allow high-sensitivity observations from 150 MHz up to115 GHz.To satisfy the requirements for early scientific goals,the QTTwill be equipped with ultra-wideband receivers and large field-of-view multi-beam receivers.A multi-function signal-processing system based on RFSo C and GPU processor chips will be developed.These will enable the QTT to operate in pulsar,spectral line,continuum and Very Long Baseline Interferometer(VLBI)observing modes.Electromagnetic compatibility(EMC)and radio frequency interference(RFI)control techniques are adopted throughout the system design.The QTT will form a world-class observational platform for the detection of lowfrequency(nano Hertz)gravitational waves through pulsar timing array(PTA)techniques,pulsar surveys,the discovery of binary black-hole systems,and exploring dark matter and the origin of life in the universe.The QTT will also play an important role in improving the Chinese and international VLBI networks,allowing high-sensitivity and high-resolution observations of the nuclei of distant galaxies and gravitational lensing systems.Deep astrometric observations will also contribute to improving the accuracy of the celestial reference frame.Potentially,the QTT will be able to support future space activities such as planetary exploration in the solar system and to contribute to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. | Na Wang Qian Xu Jun Ma Zhiyong Liu Qi Liu Hailong Zhang Xin Pei Maozheng Chen Richard N.Manchester Kejia Lee Xingwu Zheng Hans J.Kärcher Wulin Zhao Hongwei Li Dongwei Li Martin Süss Matthias Reichert Zhongyi Zhu Congsi Wang Mingshuai Li Rui Li Ning Li Guljaina Kazezkhan Wenming Yan Gang Wu Lang Cui Ming Zhang Haitao Li | 2023 | Science China(Physics,Mechanics & Astronomy)2023,66,8: | 14 |
| 19 | Epidemiology and natural history of hepatitis C virus infection显示文摘Hepatitis C virus(HCV)affects 130-210 million people worldwide and is one of the major risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma.Globally,at least one third of hepatocellular carcinoma cases are attributed to HCV infection,and 350000 people died from HCV related diseases per year.There is a great geographical variation of HCV infection globally,with risk factors for the HCV infection differing in various countries.The progression of chronic hepatitis C to end-stage liver disease also varies in different study populations.A long-term follow-up cohort enrolling participants with asymptomatic HCV infection is essential for elucidating the natural history of HCV-caused hepatocellular carcinoma,and for exploring potential seromarkers that have high predictability for risk of hepatocellular carcinoma.However,prospective cohorts comprising individuals with HCV infection are still uncommon.The risk evaluation of viral load elevation and associated liver disease/cancer in HCV(REVEAL-HCV)study has followed a cohort of 1095 residents seropositive for antibodies against hepatitis C virus living in seven townships in Taiwan for more than fifteen years.Most of them have acquired HCV infection through iatrogenic transmission routes.As the participants in the REVEALHCV study rarely receive antiviral therapies,it provides a unique opportunity to study the natural history of chronic HCV infection.In this review,the prevalence,risk factors and natural history of HCV infection are comprehensively reviewed.The study cohort,data collection,and findings on liver disease progression of the REVEAL-HCV study are described. | Mei-Hsuan Lee Hwai-I Yang Yong Yuan Gilbert L’Italien Chien-Jen Chen | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,28: | 14 |
| 20 | Targeting cannabinoid signaling for peritoneal dialysisinduced oxidative stress and fibrosis显示文摘Long-term exposure to bioincompatible peritoneal dialysis(PD) solutions frequently results in peritoneal fibrosis and ultrafiltration failure,which limits the life-long use of and leads to the cessation of PD therapy.Therefore,it is important to elucidate the pathogenesis of peritoneal fibrosis in order to design therapeutic strategies to prevent its occurrence.Peritoneal fibrosis is associated with a chronic inflammatory status as well as an elevated oxidative stress(OS) status.Beyond uremia per se,OS also results from chronic exposure to high glucose load,glucose degradation products,advanced glycation end products,and hypertonic stress.Therapy targeting the cannabinoid(CB) signaling pathway has been reported in several chronic inflammatory diseases with elevated OS.We recently reported that the intra-peritoneal administration of CB receptor ligands,including CB_1 receptor antagonistsand CB_2 receptor agonists,ameliorated dialysis-related peritoneal fibrosis.As targeting the CB signaling pathway has been reported to be beneficial in attenuating the processes of several chronic inflammatory diseases,we reviewed the interaction among the cannabinoid system,inflammation,and OS,through which clinicians ultimately aim to prolong the peritoneal survival of PD patients. | Chih-Yu Yang Yat-Pang Chau Ann Chen Oscar Kuang-Sheng Lee Der-Cherng Tarng An-Hang Yang | 2017 | World Journal of Nephrology2017,6,3: | 13 |
