| 1 | Effects of water management on arsenic and cadmium speciation and accumulation in an upland rice cultivar显示文摘Pot and field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of water regimes on the speciation and accumulation of arsenic(As) and cadmium(Cd) in Brazilian upland rice growing in soils polluted with both As and Cd. In the pot experiment constant and intermittent flooding treatments gave 3–16 times higher As concentrations in soil solution than did aerobic conditions but Cd showed the opposite trend. Compared to arsenate, there were more marked changes in the arsenite concentrations in the soil solution as water management shifted, and therefore arsenite concentrations dominated the As speciation and bioavailability in the soil. In the field experiment As concentrations in the rice grains increased from 0.14 to 0.21 mg/kg while Cd concentrations decreased from 0.21 to 0.02 mg/kg with increasing irrigation ranging from aerobic to constantly flooding conditions. Among the various water regimes the conventional irrigation treatment produced the highest rice grain yield of 6.29 tons/ha. The As speciation analysis reveals that the accumulation of dimethylarsinic acid(from 11.3% to 61.7%) made a greater contribution to the increase in total As in brown rice in the intermittent and constant flooding treatments compared to the intermittent-aerobic treatment. Thus, water management exerted opposite effects on Cd and As speciation and bioavailability in the soil and consequently on their accumulation in the upland rice. Special care is required when irrigation regime methods are employed to mitigate the accumulation of metal(loid)s in the grain of rice grown in soils polluted with both As and Cd. | Pengjie Hu Younan Ouyang Longhua Wu Libo Shen Yongming Luo Peter Christie | 2015 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2015,27,1: | 43 |
| 2 | Global leaf nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry and their scaling exponent显示文摘Leaf nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P) concentrations constrain photosynthetic and metabolic processes,growth and the productivity of plants. Their stoichiometry and scaling relationships regulate the allocation of N and P from subcellular to organism, and even ecosystem levels, and are crucial to the modelling of plant growth and nutrient cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. Prior work has revealed a general biogeographic pattern of leaf N and P stoichiometric relationships and shown that leaf N scales roughly as two-thirds the power of P. However, determining whether and how leaf N and P stoichiometries, especially their scaling exponents, change with functional groups and environmental conditions requires further verification. In this study, we compiled a global data set and documented the global leaf N and P concentrations and the N:P ratios by functional group, climate zone and continent. The global overall mean leaf N and P concentrations were 18.9 mg g^(-1) and 1.2 mg g^(-1), respectively, with significantly higher concentrations in herbaceous than woody plants(21.72 mg g^(-1) vs. 18.22 mg g^(-1) for N; and 1.64 mg g^(-1) vs. 1.10 mg g^(-1) for P). Both leaf N and P showed higher concentrations at high latitudes than low latitudes. Among six continents, Europe had the highest N and P concentrations(20.79 and 1.54 mg g^(-1)) and Oceania had the smallest values(10.01 and 0.46 mg g^(-1)). These numerical values may be used as a basis for the comparison of other individual studies. Further, we found that the scaling exponent varied significantly across different functional groups,latitudinal zones, ecoregions and sites. The exponents of herbaceous and woody plants were 0.659 and0.705, respectively, with significant latitudinal patterns decreasing from tropical to temperate to boreal zones. At sites with a sample size ≥10, the values fluctuated from 0.366 to 1.928, with an average of 0.841.Several factors including the intrinsic attributes of different life forms, P-related growth rates and relative nutrient availability of soils likely account for the inconstant exponents of leaf N vs. P scaling relationships. | Di Tian Zhengbing Yan Karl J.Niklas Wenxuan Han Jens Kattge Peter B.Reich Yongkai Luo Yahan Chen Zhiyao Tang Huifeng Hu Ian J.Wright Bernhard Schmid Jingyun Fang | 2018 | National Science Review2018,5,5: | 24 |
| 3 | The Deep-Time Digital Earth program:data-driven discovery in geosciences显示文摘Current barriers hindering data-driven discoveries in deep-time Earth(DE)include:substantial volumes of DE data are not digitized;many DE databases do not adhere to FAIR(findable,accessible,interoperable and reusable)principles;we lack a systematic knowledge graph for DE;existing DE databases are geographically heterogeneous;a significant fraction of DE data is not in open-access formats;tailored tools are needed.These challenges motivate the Deep-Time Digital Earth(DDE)program initiated by the International Union of Geological Sciences and developed in cooperation with national geological surveys,professional associations,academic institutions and scientists around the world.DDE’s mission is to build on previous research to develop a systematic DE knowledge graph,a FAIR data infrastructure that links existing databases and makes dark data visible,and tailored tools for DE data,which are universally accessible.DDE aims to harmonize DE data,share global geoscience knowledge and facilitate data-driven discovery in the understanding of Earth’s evolution. | Chengshan Wang Robert MHazen Qiuming Cheng Michael HStephenson Chenghu Zhou Peter Fox Shu-zhong Shen Roland Oberhansli Zengqian Hou Xiaogang Ma Zhiqiang Feng Junxuan Fan Chao Ma Xiumian Hu Bin Luo Juanle Wang Craig M.Schiffries | 2021 | National Science Review2021,8,9: | 14 |
| 4 | Allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell immunotherapy exhibits promising clinical safety and prolongs the survival of patients with late-stage lung or liver cancer显示文摘Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are promising candidates for cellular tumor immunotherapy.Due to their HLA-independent mode of action,allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T cells can be considered for clinical application.To apply allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in adoptive immunotherapy,the methodology used to obtain adequate cell numbers with optimal effector function in vitro needs to be optimized,and clinical safety and efficacy also need to be proven.Therefore,we developed a novel formula to improve the expansion of peripheralγδT cells from healthy donors.Then,we used a humanized mouse model to validate the therapeutic efficacy of expandedγδT cells in vivo;furthermore,the expandedγδT cells were adoptively transferred into late-stage liver and lung cancer patients.We found that the expanded cells possessed significantly improved immune effector functions,including proliferation,differentiation,and cancer cell killing,both in vitro and in the humanized mouse model.Furthermore,a phase I clinical trial in 132 late-stage cancer patients with a total of 414 cell infusions unequivocally validated the clinical safety of allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T cells.Among these 132 patients,8 liver cancer patients and 10 lung cancer patients who received≥5 cell infusions showed greatly prolonged survival,which preliminarily verified the efficacy of allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell therapy.Our clinical studies underscore the safety and efficacy of allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell immunotherapy,which will inspire further clinical investigations and eventually benefit cancer patients. | Yan Xu Zheng Xiang Mohammed Alnaggar Léonce Kouakanou Jiawei Li Junyi He Jiashuang Yang Yi Hu Yan Chen Li Lin Jianlei Hao Jingxia Li Jibing Chen Man Li Qingling Wu Christian Peters Qinghua Zhou Jianshuang Li Yingqing Liang Xiaohua Wang Baohui Han Meili Ma Dieter Kabelitz Kecheng Xu Wenwei Tu Yangzhe Wu Zhinan Yin | 2021 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2021,18,2: | 8 |
| 5 | LncRNAs-directed PTEN enzymatic switch governs epithelial–mesenchymal transition显示文摘Despite the structural conservation of PTEN with dual-specificity phosphatases,there have been no reports regarding the regulatory mechanisms that underlie this potential dual-phosphatase activity.Here,we report that K27-linked polyubiquitination of PTEN at lysines 66 and 80 switches its phosphoinositide/protein tyrosine phosphatase activity to protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity.Mechanistically,high glucose,TGF-β,CTGF,SHH,and IL-6 induce the expression of a long non-coding RNA,GAEA(Glucose Aroused for EMT Activation),which associates with an RNA-binding E3 ligase,MEX3C,and enhances its enzymatic activity,leading to the K27-linked polyubiquitination of PTEN.The MEX3C-catalyzed PTEN^K27-polyUb activates its protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity and inhibits its phosphatidylinositol/protein tyrosine phosphatase activity.With this altered enzymatic activity,PTEN^K27-polyUb dephosphorylates the phosphoserine/threonine residues of TWIST1,SNAI1,and YAP1,leading to accumulation of these master regulators of EMT.Animals with genetic inhibition of PTEN^K27-polyUb,by a single nucleotide mutation generated using CRISPR/Cas9(Pten^K80R/K80R),exhibit inhibition of EMT markers during mammary gland morphogenesis in pregnancy/lactation and during cutaneous wound healing processes.Our findings illustrate an unexpected paradigm in which the lncRNA-dependent switch in PTEN protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity is important for physiological homeostasis and disease development. | Qingsong Hu Chunlai Li Shouyu Wang Yajuan Li Bo Wen Yanyan Zhang Ke Liang Jun Yao Youqiong Ye Heidi Hsiao Tina K.Nguyen Peter K.Park Sergey D.Egranov David H.Hawke Jeffrey R.Marks Leng Han Mien-Chie Hung Bing Zhang Chunru Lin Liuqing Yang | 2019 | Cell Research2019,29,4: | 8 |
| 6 | Concentrations of Heavy Metals in Suburban Horticultural Soils and Their Uptake by Artemisia selengensis显示文摘A total of 222 surface soil samples and 40 plant samples were collected to investigate the spatial distribution and possible sources of soil heavy metals and to know the uptake and translocation of heavy metals from roots to different plant parts in a representative vegetable production area in the Baguazhou Island, a suburb of Nanjing City, East China. The arithmetic mean values of total Cd, Cr,Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentrations in the soils were 0.314, 133, 41.0, 58.0, 31.8, and 114 mg kg-1, respectively. All of these values were above the topsoil background values in the Nanjing area. Multivariate and geostatistical analyses showed that soil Cd contamination was derived mainly from agricultural practices. In contrast, Cu and Zn were derived mainly from soil parent materials and Pb from atmospheric deposition from highway gasoline stations. Artemisia selengensis, a locally important specialty vegetable, accumulated heavy metals primarily in the edible leaves. The general distribution of heavy metal concentrations in this plant species showed that the highest occurred in the leaves, intermediate in the stems and lowest in the roots. Cd had the highest concentration factor(root-to-soil ratio) and may pose increased health risks in the future to the local population through the consumption of contaminated vegetables. | CUI Xu SUN Xulei HU Pengjie YUAN Cheng LUO Yongming WU Longhua Peter CHRISTIE | 2015 | Pedosphere2015,25,6: | 6 |
| 7 | Enhanced antibacterial behavior of a novel Cu-bearing high-entropy alloy显示文摘Contact infection of bacteria and viruses has been a critical threat to human health. The worldwideoutbreak of COVID-19 put forward urgent requirements for the research and development of the selfantibacterial materials, especially the antibacterial alloys. Based on the concept of high-entropy alloys, thepresent work designed and prepared a novel Co_(0.4)FeCr_(0.9)Cu_(0.3) antibacterial high-entropy alloy with superior antibacterial properties without intricate or rigorous annealing processes, which outperform the antibacterial stainless steels. The antibacterial tests presented a 99.97% antibacterial rate against Escherichiacoli and a 99.96% antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus after 24 h. In contrast, the classic antibacterial copper-bearing stainless steel only performed the 71.50% and 80.84% antibacterial rate, respectively. The results of the reactive oxygen species analysis indicated that the copper ion release and theimmediate contact with copper-rich phase had a synergistic effect in enhancing antibacterial properties.Moreover, this alloy exhibited excellent corrosion resistance when compared with the classic antibacterialstainless steels, and the compression test indicated the yield strength of the alloy was 1015 MPa. Thesefindings generate fresh insights into guiding the designs of structure-function-integrated antibacterial alloys. | Guangyu Ren Lili Huang Kunling Hu Tianxin Li Yiping Lu Dongxu Qiao Haitao Zhang Dake Xu Tongmin Wang Tingju Li Peter K.Liaw | 2022 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2022,,22: | 6 |
| 8 | Validity assessment and determination of the cutoff value for the Index of Complexity, Outcome and Need among 12-13 year-olds in Southern Chinese显示文摘To validate the use of the Index of Complexity,Outcome and Need (ICON) in assessing orthodontic treatment need among 12-13 year-olds in southern China,we determined the threshold value of ICON based on Chinese orthodontists' judgments. The samples consisted of 335 students in grade 7 from 16 randomly selected middle schools in Chengdu,China. Three associate professors provided ICON scores for each participant and the results were compared with the gold standard judgments from 25 experts on treatment needs. Based on the gold standard,195 casts belonged to the treatment category,while the rest 140 belonged to the no-treatment category. With the international cutoff point of 43,the sensitivity and specificity of the ICON score were 0.29 and 0.98. The best compromise between sensitivity and specificity in Chengdu,compared with the gold standard,was found at a cutoff point of 29,and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.88 and 0.83. When used to evaluate the treatment need of 12-13 year-olds in southern China,the international ICON cutoff value did not correspond well with Chinese orthodontists' judgments; a lower cutoff value of 29 offered a greater sensitivity and specificity with respect to expert orthodontists' perception of treatment need. | Zheng-Yu Liao Fan Jian Hu Long Yun Lu Yan Wang Zhi Yang Yu-Wei He Peter Wamalwa Jing Wang Nian-Song Ye Sheng Wang Wen-Li Lai | 2012 | International Journal of Oral Science2012,4,2: | 5 |
| 9 | Theoretical investigations of electrical transport properties in CoSb3 skutterudites under hydrostatic loadings显示文摘CoSb_3-based skutterudites have been a benchmark mid-temperature thermoelectric material under intensive experimental and theoretical studies for decades.Doping and filling, to the first order, alter the crystal lattice constant of CoSb3 in the context of 'chemical pressure.' In this work, we employed ab initio density functional theory in conjunction with semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory to investigate the mechanical properties and especially how hydrostatic loadings, i.e., 'physical pressure,' impact the electronic band structure, Seebeck coefficient,and power factor of pristine CoSb_3. It is found that hydrostatic pressure enlarges the band gap, suppresses the density of states(DOS) near the valence band edge, and fosters the band convergence between the valley bands and the conduction band minimum(CBM). By contrast,hydrostatic tensile reduces the band gap, increases the DOS near the valence band edge, and diminishes the valley bands near the CBM. Therefore, applying hydrostatic pressure provides an alternative avenue for achieving band convergence to improve thermoelectric properties of N-type CoSb3, which is further supported by our carrier concentration studies. These results provide valuable insight into the further improvement of thermoelectric performance of CoSb3-based skutterudites via a synergy of physical and chemical pressures. | Chongze Hu Peter Ni Li Zhan Huijuan Zhao Jian He Terry M.

| 10 | High spatial and temporal resolution synthetic aperture phase microscopy显示文摘A new optical microscopy technique,termed high spatial and temporal resolution synthetic aperture phase microscopy(HISTR-SAPM),is proposed to improve the lateral resolution of wide-field coherent imaging.Under plane wave illumination,the resolution is increased by twofold to around 260 nm,while achieving millisecond-level temporal resolution.In HISTR-SAPM,digital micromirror devices are used to actively change the sample illumination beam angle at high speed with high stability.An off-axis interferometer is used to measure the sample scattered complex fields,which are then processed to reconstruct high-resolution phase images.Using HISTR-SAPM,we are able to map the height profiles of subwavelength photonic structures and resolve the period structures that have 198 nm linewidth and 132 nm gap(i.e.,a full pitch of 330 nm).As the reconstruction averages out laser speckle noise while maintaining high temporal resolution,HISTR-SAPM further enables imaging and quantification of nanoscale dynamics of live cells,such as red blood cell membrane fluctuations and subcellular structure dynamics within nucleated cells.We envision that HISTR-SAPM will broadly benefit research in material science and biology. | Cheng Zheng Di Jin Yanping He Hongtao Lin Juejun Hu Zahid Yaqoo Peter T.C.So Renjie Zhou | 2020 | Advanced Photonics2020,2,6: | 5 |
| 11 | Small bowel perforation after duodenal stent migration:An interesting case of a rare complication显示文摘Duodenal stents are frequently used for palliating malignant gastric outlet obstruction.Successful stent placement relieves obstructive symptoms,is cost effective,and has a relatively low complication rate.However,enteral stents have the potential of migrating distally and rarely,even lead to bowel perforation.We present a rare case of a duodenal stent placed as a palliative measure for gastric outlet obstruction due to unresectable pancreatic cancer that migrated distally after a gastrojejunostomy resulting in small bowel perforation. | Peter HU Lee Robert Moore Akshay Raizada Richard Grotz | 2011 | World Journal of Radiology2011,3,6: | 3 |
| 12 | Phylogenetic Analysis of Brine Shrimp (Artemia) in China Using DNA Barcoding显示文摘DNA barcoding is a powerful approach for characterizing species of organisms,especially those with almost identical morphological features,thereby helping to to establish phylogenetic relationships and reveal evolutionary histories. In this study,we chose a 648-bp segment of the mitochondrial gene,cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI),as a standard barcode region to establish phylogenetic relation-ships among brine shrimp (Artemia) species from major habitats around the world and further focused on the biodiversity of Artemia species in China,especially in the Tibetan Plateau. Samples from five major salt lakes of the Tibetan Plateau located at altitudes over 4,000 m showed clear differences from other Artemia pop-ulations in China. We also observed two consistent amino acid changes,153A/V and 183L/F,in the COI gene between the high and low altitude species in China. Moreover,indels in the COI sequence were identified in cyst and adult samples unique to the Co Qen population from the Tibetan Plateau,demonstrating the need for additional investigations of the mitochondrial genome among Tibetan Artemia populations. | Weiwei Wang Qibin Luo Haiyan Guo Peter Bossier Gilbert Van Stappen Patrick Sorgeloos Naihong Xin Qishi Sun Songnian Hu Jun Yu | 2008 | Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics2008,6,3: | 3 |
| 13 | Total synthesis of D-glycero-D-mannno-heptose 1β, 7-bisphosphate with 3-O-amyl amine linker and its monophosphate derivative显示文摘D-Glycero-D-mannno-heptose 1β,7-bisphosphate(HBPβ)is an important intermediate for constructing the core structure of Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides and was reported as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern(PAMP)that regulates immune responses.HBPβwith 3-O-amyl amine linker and its monophosphate derivative D-glycero-D-mannno-heptose 7-phosphate(HP)with 1α-amyl amine linker have been synthesized as candidates for immunity study of HBPβ.The O3-amyl amine linker of heptose was installed by dibutyltin oxide-mediated regioselective alkylation under fine-tuned protecting condition.The stereoselective installation of 1β-phosphate ester was achieved by NIS-mediated phosphorylation at low temperature.The strategy for installation of 3-O-amyl amine linker onto HBP derivative can be expanded to the syntheses of other conjugation-ready carbohydrates bearing anomeric phosphoester. | ZOU Xiao-Peng QIN Chun-Jun HU Jing FU Jun-Jie TIAN Guang-Zong MOSCOVITZ Oren SEEBERGER Peter H.

| 15 | Insulin-like growth factor 1-induced enolase 2 deacetylation by HDAC3 promotes metastasis of pancreatic cancer显示文摘Enolase 2(ENO2)is a key glycolytic enzyme in the metabolic process of glycolysis,but its potential function in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)is unclear.In this study,we observed a significant overexpression of ENO2 in PDAC tissues,and its expression was correlated with metastasis and poor prognosis in PDAC patients.K394 was identified as a major acetylation site in ENO2 that regulates its enzymatic activity,cell metabolism and PDAC progression.Knockdown of ENO2 suppressed tumor growth and liver metastasis in PDAC.Re-expression of wild-type(WT)ENO2,but not the K394 acetylation mimetic mutant,could reverse the decreased tumor malignancy.We further characterized histone deacetylase 3(HDAC3)and P300/CBP-associated factor(PCAF)as the potential deacetylase and acetyltransferase for ENO2,respectively.HDAC3-mediated deacetylation was shown to lead to ENO2 activation and enhancement of glycolysis.Importantly,insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)was found to decrease K394 acetylation and stimulate ENO2 activity in a dose-and time-dependent manner.The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway facilitated the phosphorylation of HDAC3 on S424,which promoted K394 deacetylation and activation of ENO2.Linsitinib,an oral small-molecule inhibitor of IGF-1R,could inhibit IGF-1-induced ENO2 deacetylation by HDAC3 and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.Furthermore,linsitinib showed a different effect on the growth and metastasis of PDAC depending on the overexpression of WT versus K394-mutant ENO2.Our results reveal a novel mechanism by which acetylation negatively regulates ENO2 activity in the metastasis of PDAC by modulating glycolysis.Blockade of IGF-1-induced ENO2 deacetylation represents a promising strategy to prevent the development of PDAC. | Yan Zheng Chao Wu Jimeng Yang Yue Zhao Huliang Jia Min Xue Da Xu Feng Yang Deliang Fu Chaoqun Wang Beiyuan Hu Ze Zhang Tianen Li Shican Yan Xuan Wang Peter J.Nelson Christiane Bruns Lunxiu Qin Qiongzhu Dong | 2020 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2020,5,1: | 3 |
| 16 | Microstructure evolution and interface structure of Al-40 wt% Si composites produced by high-energy ball milling显示文摘High silicon content Al-Si composites with a composition of Al-40 wt% Si were fabricated via a highenergy ball milling method. The microstructure evolution of Al-40 wt% Si milled powders and sintered composites has been thoroughly studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energydispersive spectrometry and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The mechanism of ball milling Al-40 wt% Si powders has been disclosed in detail: fracture mechanism dominating in the early stages, followed by the agglomeration mechanism, finally reaching the balance between the fragments and the agglomerates. It has been found that the average particle sizes of mixed Al-Si powders can be refined to the nanoscale, and the crystallite sizes of Al and Si have been reduced to 10nm and 62nm upon milling for 2h–50h, respectively. The finally formed Al-Si interfaces after ball milling for 50h are wellcohesive. A dense and homogenous Al-40 wt% Si composite have been achieved by solid-state sintering at550?C. The results thus provide an effective support for producing bulk nanostructured Al-Si composites. | Yuanyuan Chen Zhangping Hu Yifei Xu Jiangyong Wang Peter Schützendübe Yuan Huang Yongchang Liu Zumin Wang | 2019 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2019,35,4: | 2 |

| 20 | Investigation of blood pulse PPG signal regulation on toe effect of body posture and lower limb height显示文摘Objective: To study the regulation of blood pulse volume via photoplethysmography (PPG) signal detected from toe, while the lower limb is passively raised in different height positions. Methods: Use a modified non-invasive PPG technique to detect the blood pulse signal on toe with infrared (IR) photo sensor. A protocol consisting of two postures, i.e., supine and 45° reclining, was designed to conduct laboratory trial in this study. During the period of performing the protocol of these postures, the lower limb was passively raised from the heights of 10 cm to 60 cm randomly and individually with sponge blocks underneath the foot. Results: In the supine posture, the higher the foot was passively raised, the more the blood PPG signal decreased. In the 45° reclining posture, the blood PPG signal increased at the beginning and then decreased in the foot height position from 10 cm to 60 cm. In both postures the normalized AC signal changes significantly while the normalized DC signal changes little. Conclusion: The toe PPG signals can obviously indicate the regulated blood volume change with the designated postural procedures due to the heart level position. | XIN Shang-zhi HU Sijung CRABTREE Vincent P.
