| 1 | Ultracompact dual-mode waveguide crossing based on subwavelength multimode-interference couplers显示文摘We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel ultracompact dual-mode waveguide crossing based on subwavelength multimode-interference couplers for a densely integrated on-chip mode-division multiplexing system.By engineering the lateral-cladding material index and manipulating phase profiles of light at the nanoscale using an improved inverse design method, a subwavelength structure could theoretically realize the identical beat length for both TE_0 and TE1, which can reduce the scale of the device greatly. The fabricated device occupied a footprint of only 4.8 μm× 4.8 μm. The measured insertion losses and crosstalks were less than 0.6 d B and-24 d B from 1530 nm to 1590 nm for both TE0 and TE1 modes, respectively. Furthermore, our scheme could also be expandedto design waveguide crossings that support more modes. | WEIJIE CHANG LULUZI LU XINSHU REN DONGYU LI ZEPENG PAN MENGFAN CHENG DEMING LIU MINMING ZHANG | 2018 | Photonics Research2018,6,7: | 4 |
| 2 | Identification of sources,characteristics and photochemical transformations of dissolved organic matter with EEM-PARAFAC in the Wei River of China显示文摘Dissolved organic matter(DOM)in rivers is a critical regulator of the cycling and toxicity of pollutants and the behavior of DOM is a key indicator for the health of the environment.We investigated the sources and characteristics of DOM in surface water and sediment samples of the Wei River,China.Dissolved organic carbon(DOC)concentration and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm(UV254)increased in the surface water and were decreased in the sediment downstream,indicating that the source of DOM in the water differed from the sediment.Parallel factor(PARAFAC)analysis of the excitation-emission matrices(EEM)revealed the presence of terrestrial humus-like,microbial humus-like and tryptophan-like proteins in the surface water,whereas the sediment contained UVA humic-like,UVC humic-like and fulvic-like in the sediment.The DOM in the surface water and sediment were mainly derived from microbial metabolic activity and the surrounding soil.Surface water DOM displayed greater photodegradation potential than sediment DOM.PARAFAC analysis indicated that the terrestrial humic-like substance in the water and the fulvic-like component in the sediment decomposed more rapidly.These data describe the characteristics of DOM in the Wei River and are crucial to understanding the fluctuations in environmental patterns. | Yuanyuan Luo Yangyang Zhang Mengfan Lang Xuetao Guo Tianjiao Xia Tiecheng Wang Hanzhong Jia Lingyan Zhu | 2021 | Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering2021,15,5: | 2 |

| 4 | Stretchable polymer composites with ultrahigh piezoelectric performance显示文摘Flexible piezoelectric materials capable of withstanding large deformation play key roles in flexible electronics.Ferroelectric ceramics with a high piezoelectric coefficient are inherently brittle,whereas polar polymers exhibit a low piezoelectric coefficient.Here we report a highly stretchable/compressible piezoelectric composite composed of ferroelectric ceramic skeleton,elastomer matrix and relaxor ferroelectric-based hybrid at the ceramic/matrix interface as dielectric transition layers,exhibiting a giant piezoelectric coefficient of 250 picometers per volt,high electromechanical coupling factor keff of 65%,ultralow acoustic impedance of 3MRyl and high cyclic stability under 50%compression strain.The superior flexibility and piezoelectric properties are attributed to the electric polarization and mechanical load transfer paths formed by the ceramic skeleton,and dielectric mismatch mitigation between ceramic fillers and elastomer matrix by the dielectric transition layer.The synergistic fusion of ultrahigh piezoelectric properties and superior flexibility in these polymer composites is expected to drive emerging applications in flexible smart electronics. | Tongxiang Tang Zhonghui Shen Jian Wang Shiqi Xu Jiaxi Jiang Jiahui Chang Mengfan Guo Youjun Fan Yao Xiao Zhihao Dong Houbing Huang Xiaoyan Li Yihui Zhang Danyang Wang Long-Qing Chen Ke Wang Shujun Zhang Ce-Wen Nan Yang Shen | 2023 | National Science Review2023,10,8: | 1 |
| 5 | Genomic selection of eight fruit traits in pear显示文摘Genomic selection (GS) has the potential to improve selection efficiency and shorten the breeding cycle in fruit tree breeding. In this study,we evaluated the effect of prediction methods, marker density and the training population (TP) size on pear GS for improving its performance and reducing cost. We evaluated GS under two scenarios:(1) five-fold cross-validation in an interspecific pear family;(2) independent validation. Based on the cross-validation scheme, the prediction accuracy (PA) of eight fruit traits varied between 0.33 (fruit core vertical diameter)and 0.65 (stone cell content). Except for single fruit weight, a slightly better prediction accuracy (PA) was observed for the five parametrical methods compared with the two non-parametrical methods. In our TP of 310 individuals, 2 000 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were sufficient to make reasonably accurate predictions. PAs for different traits increased by 18.21%-46.98%when the TP size increased from 50to 100, but the increment was smaller (-4.13%-33.91%) when the TP size increased from 200 to 250. For independent validation, the PAs ranged from 0.11 to 0.45 using rrBLUP method. In summary, our results showed that the TP size and SNP numbers had a greater impact on the PA than prediction methods. Furthermore, relatedness among the training and validation sets, and the complexity of traits should be considered when designing a TP to predict the test panel. | Manyi Sun Mingyue Zhang Satish Kumar Mengfan Qin Yueyuan Liu Runze Wang Kaijie Qi Shaoling Zhang Wenjing Chang Jiaming Li Jun Wu | 2024 | Horticultural Plant Journal2024,10,2: | 0 |
| 6 | Aromaticity Concerto in Polycyclic Conjugated Hydrocarbons:Fusion Pattern on Combined Aromaticity Strategy Leads to Distinctive Excited State Photophysics of Dinaphthopentalenes显示文摘Understanding the structure-property relationships in polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons(PCHs)is crucial in controlling their electronic properties and developing new optically functional materials.Aromaticity is a fundamentally important and intriguing property of numerous organic chemical structures and has stimulated a myriad of experimental and theoretical investigations.Exploiting aromaticity rules for the rational design of optoelectronic materials with the desired photophysical characteristics is a challenging yet fascinating task.Herein we present an in-depth computational and spectroscopic study on the structure-property relationships of dinaphthopentalenes(DNPs).Results highlight that the different fusion patterns between 4nπand 4n+2πunits endow these PCHs with the tunable aromaticity in the ground state/excited state,which leads to the diverse electronic structures and consequently the distinctive excited state photophysics.Accordingly,we propose a combined aromaticity design strategy for rationally modulating and tailoring electronic and optical properties of PCH skeletons.These outcomes not only present a full picture of the excited state dynamics of the DNP system and afford a new class of efficient singlet fission-active materials but also provide some basic guidelines for exploiting aromaticity rules to design and develop new optical function materials. | Long Wang Lu Lin Teng-Shuo Zhang Shaoting Guo Zuyuan Liu Mengfan Zhang Senhao Wang Ganglong Cui Wei-Hai Fang Jun Zhu Hongbing Fu Jiannian Yao | 2023 | CCS Chemistry2023,5,10: | 0 |
| 7 | Destructing surfactant network in nanoemulsions by positively charged magnetic nanorods to enhance oil-water separation显示文摘The separation of ultrafine oil droplets from wasted nanoemulsions stabilized with high concentration of surfactants is precondition for oil reuse and the safe discharge of effluent.However, the double barriers of the interfacial film and network structures formed by surfactants in nanoemulsions significantly impede the oil-water separation. To destroy these surfactant protective layers, we proposed a newly-developed polyethyleneimine micelle template approach to achieve simultaneous surface charge manipulation and morphology transformation of magnetic nanospheres to magnetic nanorods. The results revealed that positively charged magnetic nanospheres exhibited limited separation performance of nanoemulsions, with a maximum chemical oxygen demand(COD) removal of 50%, whereas magnetic nanorods achieved more than 95% COD removal in less than 30 s. The magnetic nanorods were also applicable to wasted nanoemulsions from different sources and exhibited excellent resistance to wide pH changes. Owing to their unique one-dimensional structure, the interfacial dispersion of magnetic nanorods was significantly promoted, leading to the efficient capture of surfactants and widespread destruction of both the interfacial film and network structure, which facilitated droplet merging into the oil phase. The easy-toprepare and easy-to-tune strategy in this study paves a feasible avenue to simultaneously tailor surface charge and morphology of magnetic nanoparticles, and reveals the huge potential of morphology manipulation for producing high-performance nanomaterials to be applied in complex interfacial interaction process. We believe that the newly-developed magnetic-nanorods significantly contribute to hazardous oily waste remediation and advances technology evolution toward problematic oil-pollution control. | Yongjiao Xiong Xiangfeng Huang Lexue Li Wanqi Liu Jialu Zhang Mengfan He Jia Liu Lijun Lu Kaiming Peng | 2022 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2022,34,8: | 0 |
| 8 | Accurate crop row recognition of maize at the seedling stage using lightweight network显示文摘Accurate extraction of crop row is very important for automation of agricultural production.Crop rows are required for accurate machine guidance in agricultural production such as fertilization,plant protection,weeding and harvesting.In this study,an efficient crop row detection algorithm called Crop-BiSeNet V2 was proposed,which combined BiSeNet V2 with a spatial convolutional neural network.The proposed Crop-BiSeNet V2 detected crop rows in color images without the use of threshold and other pre-information such as number of rows.A data set had 2697 maize crop images was constructed in challenging field trial conditions such as variable light,shadows,presence of weeds,and irregular crop shape.The proposed system was experimentally determined to overcome the interference of different complex scenes.And it can be applied to crop rows of different numbers,straight lines and curves.Different analyses were performed to check the robustness of the algorithm.Comparing this algorithm with the Fully Convolutional Networks(FCN)algorithm,it exhibited superior performance and saved 84.85 ms.The accuracy rate reached 0.9811,and the detection speed reached 65.54 ms/frame.The Crop-BiSeNet V2 algorithm proposed in this study show strong generalization performance for seedling crop row recognition.It provides high-reliability technical support for crop row detection research and assists in the study of intelligent field operation machinery navigation. | Jian Wei Mengfan Zhang Caicong Wu Qin Ma Weitao Wang Chuanfeng Wan | 2024 | International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering2024,17,1: | 0 |

| 10 | Li^(+)-ion bound crown ether functionalization enables dual promotion of dynamics and thermodynamics for ambient ammonia synthesis显示文摘Electrosynthesis of ammonia from the reduction of nitrogen is still confronted with the limited supply of gas reactant in dynamics as well as high activation barrier in thermodynamics.Unfortunately,despite tremendous efforts devoted to electrocatalysts themselves,they still fail to tackle the above two challenges simultaneously.Herein,we employ a heterogeneous catalyst adlayer-composed of crown ethers associated with Li^(+)ions-to achieve the dual promotion of dynamics and thermodynamics for ambient ammonia synthesis.Dynamically,the bound Li^(+)ions interact with the strong quadrupole moment of nitrogen,and trigger considerable reactant flux toward the catalyst.Thermodynamically,Li^(+)associated with the oxygen of crown ether achieves a higher density of states at the Fermi level for the catalyst,enabling effortless electron transfer from the catalysts to nitrogen and thus greatly reducing the activation barrier.As expected,the proof-of-concept system achieves an ammonia yield rate of 168.5μg h^(-1)mg^(-1)and a Faradaic efficiency of 75.3%at-0.3 V vs.RHE.This system-level approach opens up pathways for tackling the two key challenges that have limited the field of ammonia synthesis. | Qiyang Cheng Sisi Liu Mengfan Wang Lifang Zhang Yanzheng He Jiajie Ni Jingru Zhang Chengwei Deng Yi Sun Tao Qian Chenglin Yan | 2023 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2023,,10: | 0 |
| 11 | Nutrition in Alzheimer's disease:a review of an underappreciated pathophysiological mechanism显示文摘Alzheimer's disease(AD)is the leading cause of dementia in older individuals and is an escalating challenge to global public health.Pharmacy therapy of AD is one of the well-funded areas;however,little progress has been made due to the complex pathogenesis.Recent evidence has demonstrated that modifying risk factors and lifestyle may prevent or delay the incidence of AD by 40%,which suggests that the management should pivot from single pharmacotherapy toward a multipronged approach because AD is a complex and multifaceted disease.Recently,the gut-microbiota-brain axis has gained tremendous traction in the pathogenesis of AD through bidirectional communication with multiple neural,immune,and metabolic pathways,providing new insights into novel therapeutic strategies.Dietary nutrition is an important and profound environmental factor that influences the composition and function of the microbiota.The Nutrition for Dementia Prevention Working Group recently found that dietary nutrition can affect cognition in AD-related dementia directly or indirectly through complex interactions of behavioral,genetic,systemic,and brain factors.Thus,considering the multiple etiologies of AD,nutrition represents a multidimensional factor that has a profound effect on AD onset and development.However,mechanistically,the effect of nutrition on AD is uncertain;therefore,optimal strategies or the timing of nutritional intervention to prevent or treat AD has not been established.Thus,this review summarizes the current state of knowledge concerning nutritional disorders,AD patient and caregiver burden,and the roles of nutrition in the pathophysiology of AD.We aim to emphasize knowledge gaps to provide direction for future research and to establish optimal nutrition-based intervention strategies for AD. | Jiwei Jiang Hanping Shi Shirui Jiang Anxin Wang Xinying Zou Yanli Wang Wenyi Li Yuan Zhang Mengfan Sun Qiwei Ren Jun Xu | 2023 | Science China(Life Sciences)2023,66,10: | 0 |
| 12 | Eliminating nitrogen chemisorption barrier with single-atom supported yttrium cluster via electronic promoting effect for highly efficient ammonia synthesis显示文摘Nitrogen chemisorption is a prerequisite for efficient ammonia synthesis under ambient conditions,but promoting this process remains a significant challenge.Here,by loading yttrium clusters onto a single-atom support,an electronic promoting effect is triggered to successfully eliminate the nitrogen chemisorption barrier and achieve highly efficient ammonia synthesis.Density functional theory calculations reveal that yttrium clusters with abundant electron orbitals can provide considerable electrons and greatly promote electron backdonation to the N2 antibonding orbitals,making the chemisorption process exothermic.Moreover,according to the“hot atom”mechanism,the energy released during exothermic N2 chemisorption would benefit subsequent N2 cleavage and hydrogenation,thereby dramatically reducing the energy barrier of the overall process.As expected,the proof-of-concept catalyst achieves a prominent NH3 yield rate of 48.1μg·h^(−1)·mg^(−1)at−0.2 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode,with a Faradaic efficiency of up to 69.7%.This strategy overcomes one of the most serious obstacles for electrochemical ammonia synthesis,and provides a promising method for the development of catalysts with high catalytic activity and selectivity. | Yuzhuo Jiang Mengfan Wang Sisi Liu Lifang Zhang Siyi Qian Yufeng Cao Yu Cheng Tao Qian Chenglin Yan | 2023 | Nano Research2023,16,2: | 0 |
| 13 | Nuclear peripheral chromatin-lamin B1 interaction is required for global integrity of chromatin architecture and dynamics in human cells显示文摘The eukaryotic genome is folded into higher-order conformation accompanied with constrained dynamics for coordinated genome functions.However,the molecular machinery underlying these hierarchically organized three-dimensional(3D)chromatin architecture and dynamics remains poorly understood.Here by combining imaging and sequencing,we studied the role of lamin B1 in chromatin architecture and dynamics.We found that lamin B1 depletion leads to detachment of lamina-associated domains(LADs)from the nuclear periphery accompanied with global chromatin redistribution and decompaction.Consequently,the interchromosomal as well as inter-compartment interactions are increased,but the structure of topologically associating domains(TADs)is not affected.Using live-cell genomic loci tracking,we further proved that depletion of lamin B1 leads to increased chromatin dynamics,owing to chromatin decompaction and redistribution toward nucleoplasm.Taken together,our data suggest that lamin B1 and chromatin interactions at the nuclear periphery promote LAD maintenance,chromatin compaction,genomic compartmentalization into chromosome territories and A/B compartments and confine chromatin dynamics,supporting their crucial roles in chromatin higher-order structure and chromatin dynamics. | Lei Chang Mengfan Li Shipeng Shao Chen Li Shanshan Ai Boxin Xue Yingping Hou Yiwen Zhang Ruifeng Li Xiaoying Fan Aibin He Cheng Li Yujie Sun | 2022 | Protein & Cell2022,13,4: | 0 |
| 14 | Alternative polyadenylation-related genetic variants contribute to bladder cancer risk显示文摘Aberrant alternative polyadenylation(APA)events play an important role in cancers,but little is known about whether APA-related genetic variants contribute to the susceptibility to bladder cancer.Previous genome-wide association study performed APA quantitative trait loci(apaQTL)analyses in bladder cancer,and identified 17955 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs).We found that gene symbols of APA affected by apaQTL-associated SNPs were closely correlated with cancer signaling pathways,high mutational burden,and immune infiltration.Association analysis showed that apaQTL-associated SNPs rs34402449 C>A,rs2683524 C>T,and rs11540872 C>G were significantly associated with susceptibility to bladder cancer(rs34402449:OR=1.355,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.159-1.583,P=1.33×10^(−4);rs2683524:OR=1.378,95%CI:1.164-1.632,P=2.03×10^(−4);rs11540872:OR=1.472,95%CI:1.193-1.815,P=3.06×10^(−4)).Cumulative effect analysis showed that the number of risk genotypes and smoking status were significantly associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer(P_(trend)=2.87×10^(−12)).We found that PRR13,being demonstrated the most significant effect on cell proliferation in bladder cancer cell lines,was more highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues than in adjacent normal tissues.Moreover,the rs2683524 T allele was correlated with shorter 3′untranslated regions of PRR13 and increased PRR13 expression levels.Collectively,our findings have provided informative apaQTL resources and insights into the regulatory mechanisms linking apaQTL-associated variants to bladder cancer risk. | Ting Liu Jingjing Gu Chuning Li Mengfan Guo Lin Yuan Qiang Lv Chao Qin Mulong Du Haiyan Chu Hanting Liu Zhengdong Zhang | 2023 | The Journal of Biomedical Research2023,37,6: | 0 |
| 15 | Comprehensive understanding and rational regulation of microenvironment for gas-involving electrochemical reactions显示文摘Substantial progress has been made in the understanding of gas-involving electrochemical reactions recently for the sake of clean,renewable,and efficient energy technologies.However,the specific influence mechanism of the microenvironment at the reaction interface on the electrocatalytic performance(activity,selectivity,and durability)remains unclear.Here,we provide a comprehensive understanding of the interfacial microenvironment of gas-involving electrocatalysis,including carbon dioxide reduction reaction and nitrogen reduction reaction,and classify the factors affecting the reaction thermodynamics and kinetics into gas diffusion,proton supply,and electron transfer.This categorization allows a systematic survey of the literature focusing on electrolyzer-level(optimization of the device,control of the experimental condition,and design of the working electrode),electrolytelevel(increase of gas solubility,regulation of proton supply,and substitution of anodic reaction),and electrocatalyst-level strategies(promotion of gas affinity,adjustment of hydrophobicity,and enhancement of conductivity),aiming to retrieve the correlations between the microenvironment and electrochemical performance.Finally,priorities for future studies are suggested to support the comprehensive improvement of next-generation gas-involving electrochemical reactions. | Qiyang Cheng Mengfan Wang Jiajie Ni Lifang Zhang Yu Cheng Xi Zhou Yufeng Cao Tao Qian Chenglin Yan | 2023 | Carbon Energy2023,5,7: | 0 |
| 16 | Stratified Analysis of Survival Benefit for ABO-incompatible Deceased-donor Liver Transplantation:Multicenter Propensity Score-matched Study显示文摘Background and Aims:Liver transplantation(LT)using ABO-incompatible(ABOi)grafts can extend the donor pool to a certain extent and hence reduce the waiting time for transplantation.However,concerns of the impending prognosis associated with this option,especially for patients with liver failure and higher model for end-stage liver disease(MELD)scores,who tend to be more fragile during the waiting period before LT.Methods:Recipients undergoing LT for acute-onchronic liver failure or acute liver failure were retrospectively enrolled at four institutions.Overall survival was compared and a Cox regression analysis was performed.Propensity score matching was performed for further comparison.Patients were stratified by MELD score and cold ischemia time(CIT)to determine the subgroups with survival benefits.Results:Two hundred ten recipients who underwent ABOi LT and 1,829 who underwent ABO compatible(ABOc)LT were enrolled.The 5-year overall survival rate was significantly inferior in the ABOi group compared with the ABOc group after matching(50.6%vs.75.7%,p<0.05).For patients with MELD scores≤30,using ABOi grafts achieved a comparable overall survival rate as using ABOc grafts(p>0.05).Comparison of the survival rates revealed no statistically significant difference for patients with MELD scores≥40(p>0.05).For patients with MELD scores of 31-39,the overall survival rate was significantly inferior in the ABOi group compared with the ABOc group(p<0.001);however,the rate was increased when the liver graft CIT was<8 h.Conclusions:For recipients with MELD scores≤30,ABOi LT had a prognosis comparable to that of ABOc LT and can be regarded as a feasible option.For recipients with MELD scores≥40,ABOi should be adopted with caution in emergency cases.For recipients with MELD scores of 31-39,the ABOi LT prognosis was worse.However,those patients benefited from receiving ABOi grafts with a CIT of<8 h. | Mengfan Yang Xuyong Wei Abdul Rehman Khan Qiang Wei Rui Wang Binhua Pan Kun Wang Zhisheng Zhou Di Lu Beini Cen Shuijun Zhang Wenzhi Guo Shusen Zheng Yang Yang Xiao Xu | 2023 | Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology2023,11,4: | 0 |
| 17 | Activation of peroxymonosulfate by FeVO_(3-x)for the degradation of carbamazepine:Vanadium mediated electron shuttle and oxygen vacancy modulated interface chemistry显示文摘Fast Fe(III)/Fe(II)circulation in heterogeneous peroxymonosulfate(PMS)activation remains as a bottleneck issue that restricts the development of PMS based advanced oxidation processes.Herein,we proposed a facile ammonia reduction strategy and synthesized a novel FeVO3-x catalysts to activate PMS for the degradation of a typical pharmaceutical,carbamazepine(CBZ).Rapid CBZ removal could be achieved within 10 min,which outperforms most of the other iron or vanadium-based catalysts.Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis and chemical probe experiments revealed SO_(4)^(·-),·OH,O_(2)^(·-)and high valent iron(Fe(IV))were all generated in this system,but SO4·-and Fe(IV)primarily contributed to the degradation of CBZ.Besides,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray adsorption spectroscopy indicated that both the generated low-valent V provides and oxygen vacancy acted as superior electron donors and accelerated internal electron transfer via the unsaturated V-O-Fe bond.Finally,the proposed system also exhibited satisfactory performance in practical applications.This work provides a promising platform in heterogeneous PMS activation. | Leiduo Lai Hongyu Zhou Yichen Hong Mengfan Luo Yang Shi Heng Zhang Zhaokun Xiong Gang Yao Bo Lai | 2024 | Chinese Chemical Letters2024,35,1: | 0 |
