| 1 | Climate change, water resources and sustainable development in the arid and semi-arid lands of Central Asia in the past 30 years显示文摘The countries of Central Asia are collectively known as the five '-stans': Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan. In recent times, the Central Asian region has been affected by the shrinkage of the Aral Sea, widespread desertification, soil salinization, biodiversity loss, frequent sand storms, and many other ecological disasters. This paper is a review article based upon the collection, identification and collation of previous studies of environmental changes and regional developments in Central Asia in the past 30 years. Most recent studies have reached a consensus that the temperature rise in Central Asia is occurring faster than the global average. This warming trend will not only result in a higher evaporation in the basin oases, but also to a significant retreat of glaciers in the mountainous areas. Water is the key to sustainable development in the arid and semi-arid regions in Central Asia. The uneven distribution, over consumption, and pollution of water resources in Central Asia have caused severe water supply problems, which have been affecting regional harmony and development for the past 30 years. The widespread and significant land use changes in the 1990 s could be used to improve our understanding of natural variability and human interaction in the region. There has been a positive trend of trans-border cooperation among the Central Asian countries in recent years. International attention has grown and research projects have been initiated to provide water and ecosystem protection in Central Asia. However, the agreements that have been reached might not be able to deliver practical action in time to prevent severe ecological disasters. Water management should be based on hydrographic borders and ministries should be able to make timely decisions without political intervention. Fully integrated management of water resources, land use and industrial development is essential in Central Asia. The ecological crisis should provide sufficient motivation to reach a consensus on unified water management throughout the region. | YU Yang PI Yuanyue YU Xiang TA Zhijie SUN Lingxiao Markus DISSE ZENG Fanjiang LI Yaoming CHEN Xi YU Ruide | 2019 | Journal of Arid Land2019,11,1: | 20 |
| 2 | From Independence to Interconnection--A Review of AI Technology Applied in Energy Systems显示文摘The development of diversified energy structures,distributed energy scheduling models and active participation ability of users,leads to a rapid movement toward energy system in which different energy carriers and systems interact together in a synergistic way.This energy development will face many challenges with the requirements of big data processing capability,professional skill,distributed collaboration and realtime monitoring for the energy system that demands an intelligent and flexible tool to realize the smart energy.Artificial intelligence(AI)technology has become a focus because of its better performance.This paper proposed a classification method that incorporates the intelligence of an independent energy unit(IEU)and the intelligence among interconnected energy units(IEUS)to review the development of AI technology in energy systems.The dominant structures of IEU can be considered from three aspects including perception,decision and implementation to study the optimal strategy for AI methods utilized in IEU.And considering the interaction relationship of IEUS,the AI applied for it can be described by the coordinated relationship and adversarial relationship problems to achieve consensus.By discussing the AI technologies and the potentials of AI in the energy system,some suggestions are presented to improve intelligent technologies for sustainable energy systems in the future. | Qiuye Sun Lingxiao Yang | 2019 | CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems2019,5,1: | 8 |
| 3 | Can climate change influence agricultural GTFP in arid and semi-arid regions of Northwest China?显示文摘There are eight provinces and autonomous regions(Gansu Province,Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,Tibet Autonomous Region,Qinghai Province,Shanxi Province,and Shaanxi Province)in Northwest China,most areas of which are located in arid and semi-arid regions(northwest of the 400 mm precipitation line),accounting for 58.74%of the country's land area and sustaining approximately 7.84×10^6 people.Because of drought conditions and fragile ecology,these regions cannot develop agriculture at the expense of the environment.Given the challenges of global warming,the green total factor productivity(GTFP),taking CO2 emissions as an undesirable output,is an effective index for measuring the sustainability of agricultural development.Agricultural GTFP can be influenced by both internal production factors(labor force,machinery,land,agricultural plastic film,diesel,pesticide,and fertilizer)and external climate factors(temperature,precipitation,and sunshine duration).In this study,we used the Super-slacks-based measure(Super-SBM)model to measure agricultural GTFP during the period 2000-2016 at the regional level.Our results show that the average agricultural GTFP of most provinces and autonomous regions in arid and semi-arid regions underwent a fluctuating increase during the study period(2000-2016),and the fluctuation was caused by the production factors(input and output factors).To improve agricultural GTFP,Shaanxi,Shanxi,and Gansu should reduce agricultural labor force input;Shaanxi,Inner Mongolia,Gansu,and Shanxi should decrease machinery input;Shaanxi,Inner Mongolia,Xinjiang,and Shanxi should reduce fertilizer input;Shaanxi,Xinjiang,Gansu,and Ningxia should reduce diesel input;Xinjiang and Gansu should decrease plastic film input;and Gansu,Shanxi,and Inner Mongolia should cut pesticide input.Desirable output agricultural earnings should be increased in Qinghai and Tibet,and undesirable output(CO2 emissions)should be reduced in Inner Mongolia,Xinjiang,Gansu,and Shaanxi.Agricultural GTFP is influenced not only by internal production factors but also by external climate factors.To determine the influence of climate factors on GTFP in these provinces and autonomous regions,we used a Geographical Detector(Geodetector)model to analyze the influence of climate factors(temperature,precipitation,and sunshine duration)and identify the relationships between different climate factors and GTFP.We found that temperature played a significant role in the spatial heterogeneity of GTFP among provinces and autonomous regions in arid and semi-arid regions.For Xinjiang,Inner Mongolia,and Tibet,a suitable average annual temperature would be in the range of 7℃-9℃;for Gansu,Shanxi,and Ningxia,it would be 11℃-13℃;and for Shaanxi,it would be 15℃-17℃.Stable climatic conditions and more efficient production are prerequisites for the development of sustainable agriculture.Hence,in the agricultural production process,reducing the redundancy of input factors is the best way to reduce CO2 emissions and to maintain temperatures,thereby improving the agricultural GTFP.The significance of this study is that it explores the impact of both internal production factors and external climatic factors on the development of sustainable agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions,identifying an effective way forward for the arid and semi-arid regions of Northwest China. | FENG Jian ZHAO Lingdi ZHANG Yibo SUN Lingxiao YU Xiang YU Yang | 2020 | Journal of Arid Land2020,12,5: | 6 |
| 4 | Blocking of the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction by a novel cyclic peptide inhibitor for cancer immunotherapy显示文摘The interaction of PD-1/PD-L1 allows tumor cells to escape from immune surveillance.Clinical success of the antibody drugs has proven that blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy.Here,we developed a cyclic peptide C8 by using Ph.D.-C7 C phage display technology.C8 showed high binding affinity with h PD-1 and could effectively interfere the interaction of PD-1/PD-L1.Furthermore,C8 could stimulate CD8^(+)T cell activation in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs).We also observed that C8 could suppress tumor growth in CT26 and B16-OVA,as well as anti-PD-1 antibody resistant B16 mouse model.CD8^(+)T cells infiltration significantly increased in tumor microenvironment,and IFN-γsecretion by CD8^(+)T cells in draining lymph nodes also increased.Simultaneously,we exploited T cells depletion models and confirmed that C8 exerted anti-tumor effects via activating CD8^(+)T cells dependent manner.The interaction model of C8 with h PD-1 was simulated and confirmed by alanine scanning.In conclusion,C8 shows anti-tumor capability by blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction,and C8 may provide an alternative candidate for cancer immunotherapy. | Wenjie Zhai Xiuman Zhou Mingxia Zhai Wanqiong Li Yunhui Ran Yixuan Sun Jiangfeng Du Wenshan Zhao Lingxiao Xing Yuanming Qi Yanfeng Gao | 2021 | Science China(Life Sciences)2021,64,4: | 5 |
| 5 | A preliminary analysis and discussion of the condominium building collapse in surfside,Florida,US,June 24,2021显示文摘On June 24,2021,a 40-year-old reinforced concrete flat plate structure building in Miami suffered a sudden partial collapse.This study analyzed the overall performance and key components of the collapsed building based on the building design codes(ACI-318 and GB 50010).Punching shear and post-punching performances of typical slabcolumn joints are also studied through the refined finite element analysis.The collapse process was simulated and visualized using a physics engine.By way of these analyses,weak design points of the collapsed building are highlighted.The differences between the reinforcement detailing of the collapsed building and the requirements of the current Chinese code are discussed,together with a comparison of the punching shear and post-punching performances.The simulated collapse procedure and debris distribution are compared with the actual collapse scenes. | Xinzheng LU Hong GUAN Hailin SUN Yi LI Zhe ZHENG Yifan FEI Zhi YANG Lingxiao ZUO | 2021 | Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering2021,15,5: | 4 |
| 6 | Histological and Ultrastructural Features for Proliferation Inhibition by Delivery of Exogenous p27^(Kip1) to Rabbit Models after Glaucoma Filtration Surgery显示文摘Purpose: To investigate postoperative inhibition of cell proliferation in animals treated with exogenous p27Kip1 during an experimental glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) by histological and ultrastructural examinations. Methods:The primer was designed according to p27Kip1 gene sequence of GenBank..The p27Kip1-expressing adenovirus-mediated Ad-p27 was constructed according to standard techniques..Gene therapy was performed by subconjunctival delivery of Ad-p27,mitomycin C(MMC) and PBS served as controls..Histological and ultastructural changes at surgical sites were observed for 28 days postoperatively. Results: Histologically, evident cellular proliferation induced by Ad-p27 was observed on day 7,.with appreciable filtering cavity. However, thin conjunctival layers were noted, and the number of fibroblasts decreased in the Tenon's capsule on day 14. On day 28, the filtering cavity partially disappeared. The histological features of the animals with MMC delivery were similar to those treated by Ad-p27..In contrast,.in the PBS treatment group, thick conjunctival layers were observed, and the number of goblet cells and fibroblasts, increased markedly..The filtering cavity disappeared at postoperative day 21. Twenty eight day postoperatively,.ultrastructural findings showed that most conjunctival epithelial cells in the Ad-p27 treatment group were under static state,.and that organelles were inactive. The number of goblet cells,.and the secretion of mucin,.were decreased..The amount of fibroblasts also decreased with partial apoptotic cells. The ultrastructural features presented by rabbits with the MMC delivery resembled those treated with Ad-p27. In the PBS treatment group, the number of conjunctival epithelial cells increased; the amount of goblet cells increased as the secretion of mucin was strengthened, and a substantial amount of fibroblasts were observed with active and productive organelles. Conclusion: Ad-p27 inhibits the proliferation of Tenon's capsule fibroblasts at surgical sites, and suppresses the formation of scars, thereby promoting surgical efficacy. | Jiangang Yang Pengrui Sun Lingxiao Zhou Xiaoyan Li Yong Zhang Naixue Sun | 2012 | Eye Science2012,27,3: | 3 |
| 7 | Small changes in the length of diselenide bond-containing linkages exert great influences on the antitumor activity of docetaxel homodimeric prodrug nanoassemblies显示文摘Homodimeric prodrug-based self-assembled nanoparticles,with carrier-free structure and ultrahigh drug loading,is drawing more and more attentions.Homodimeric prodrugs are composed of two drug molecules and a pivotal linkage.The influence of the linkages on the self-assembly,in vivo fate and antitumor activity of homodimeric prodrugs is the focus of research.Herein,three docetaxel(DTX)homodimeric prodrugs are developed using different lengths of diselenide bond-containing linkages.Interestingly,compared with the other two linkages,the longest diselenide bond-containing linkage could facilitate the self-delivery of DTX prodrugs,thus improving the stability,circulation time and tumor targeting of prodrug nanoassemblies.Besides,the extension of linkages reduces the redox-triggered drug release and cytotoxicity of prodrug nanoassemblies in tumor cells.Although the longest diselenide bond-containing prodrug nanoassemblies possessed the lowest cytotoxicity to 4T1 cells,their stable nanostructure maintained intact during circulation and achieve the maximum accumulation of DTX in tumor cells,which finally“turned the table”.Our study illustrates the crucial role of linkages in homodimeric prodrugs,and gives valuable proposal for the development of advanced nano-DDS for cancer treatment. | Lingxiao Li Shiyi Zuo Fudan Dong Tian Liu Yanlin Gao Yinxian Yang Xin Wang Jin Sun Bingjun Sun Zhonggui He | 2021 | Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences2021,16,3: | 3 |
| 8 | Spatiotemporal changes in water,land use,and ecosystem services in Central Asia considering climate changes and human activities显示文摘Central Asia is located in the hinterland of Eurasia,comprising Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan,Kyrgyzstan,Turkmenistan,and Tajikistan;over 93.00%of the total area is dryland.Temperature rise and human activities have severe impacts on the fragile ecosystems.Since the 1970s,nearly half the great lakes in Central Asia have shrunk and rivers are drying rapidly owing to climate changes and human activities.Water shortage and ecological crisis have attracted extensive international attention.In general,ecosystem services in Central Asia are declining,particularly with respect to biodiversity,water,and soil conservation.Furthermore,the annual average temperature and annual precipitation in Central Asia increased by 0.30℃/decade and 6.9 mm/decade in recent decades,respectively.Temperature rise significantly affected glacier retreat in the Tianshan Mountains and Pamir Mountains,which may intensify water shortage in the 21st century.The increase in precipitation cannot counterbalance the aggravation of water shortage caused by the temperature rise and human activities in Central Asia.The population of Central Asia is growing gradually,and its economy is increasing steadily.Moreover,the agricultural land has not been expended in the last two decades.Thus,water and ecological crises,such as the Aral Sea shrinkage in the 21st century,cannot be attributed to agriculture extension any longer.Unbalanced regional development and water interception/transfer have led to the irrational exploitation of water resources in some watersheds,inducing downstream water shortage and ecological degradation.In addition,accelerated industrialization and urbanization have intensified this process.Therefore,all Central Asian countries must urgently reach a consensus and adopt common measures for water and ecological protection. | YU Yang CHEN Xi Ireneusz MALIK Malgorzata WISTUBA CAO Yiguo HOU Dongde TA Zhijie HE Jing ZHANG Lingyun YU Ruide ZHANG Haiyan SUN Lingxiao | 2021 | Journal of Arid Land2021,13,9: | 2 |
| 9 | Phylogenomic Insights into Deep Phylogeny of Angiosperms Based on Broad Nuclear Gene Sampling显示文摘Angiosperms(flowering plants)are the most diverse and species-rich group of plants.The vast majority(99.95%)of angiosperms form a clade called Mesangiospermae,which is subdivided into five major groups:eudicots,monocots,magnoliids,Chloranthales,and Ceratophyllales.The relationships among these Mesangiospermae groups have been the subject of long debate.In this study,we assembled a phylogenomic dataset of 1594 genes from 151 angiosperm taxa,including representatives of all five lineages,to investigate the phylogeny of major angiosperm lineages under both coalescent-and concatenationbased methods.We dissected the phylogenetic signal and found that more than half of the genes lack phylogenetic information for the backbone of angiosperm phylogeny.We further removed the genes with weak phylogenetic signal and showed that eudicots,Ceratophyllales,and Chloranthales form a clade,with magnoliids and monocots being the next successive sister lineages.Similar frequencies of gene tree conflict are suggestive of incomplete lineage sorting along the backbone of the angiosperm phylogeny.Our analyses suggest that a fully bifurcating species tree may not be the best way to represent the early radiation of angiosperms.Meanwhile,we inferred that the crown-group angiosperms originated approximately between 255.1 and 222.2 million years ago,and Mesangiospermae diversified into the five extant groups in a short time span(27 million years)at the Early to Late Jurassic. | Lingxiao Yang Danyan Su Xin Chang Charles SPFoster Linhua Sun Chien-Hsun Huang Xiaofan Zhou Liping Zeng Hong Ma Bojian Zhong | 2020 | Plant Communications2020,1,2: | 2 |
| 10 | Temporal and spatial variations of net primary productivity and its response to groundwater of a typical oasis in the Tarim Basin, China显示文摘Net primary productivity (NPP) of the vegetation in an oasis can reflect the productivity capacity of a plant community under natural environmental conditions. Owing to the extreme arid climate conditions and scarce precipitation in the arid oasis regions, groundwater plays a key role in restricting the development of the vegetation. The Qira Oasis is located on the southern margin of the Taklimakan Desert (Tarim Basin, China) that is one of the most vulnerable regions regarding vegetation growth and water scarcity in the world. Based on remote sensing images of the Qira Oasis and daily meteorological data measured by the ground stations during the period 2006-2019, this study analyzed the temporal and spatial patterns of NPP in the oasis as well as its relation with the variation of groundwater depth using a modified Carnegie Ames Stanford Approach (CASA) model. At the spatial scale, NPP of the vegetation decreased from the interior of the Qira Oasis to the margin;at the temporal scale, NPP of the vegetation in the oasis fluctuated significantly (ranging from 29.80 to 50.07 g C/(m2•month)) but generally showed an increasing trend, with the average increase rate of 0.07 g C/(m2•month). The regions with decreasing NPP occupied 64% of the total area of the oasis. During the study period, NPP of both farmland and grassland showed an increasing trend, while that of forest showed a decreasing trend. The depth of groundwater was deep in the south of the oasis and shallow in the north, showing a gradual increasing trend from south to north. Groundwater, as one of the key factors in the surface change and evolution of the arid oasis, determines the succession direction of the vegetation in the Qira Oasis. With the increase of groundwater depth, grassland coverage and vegetation NPP decreased. During the period 2008-2015, with the recovery of groundwater level, NPP values of all types of vegetation with different coverages increased. This study will provide a scientific basis for the rational utilization and sustainable management of groundwater resources in the oasis. | SUN Lingxiao YU Yang GAO Yuting ZHANG Haiyan YU Xiang HE Jing WANG Dagang Ireneusz MALIK Malgorzata WISTUBA YU Ruide | 2021 | Journal of Arid Land2021,13,11: | 2 |
| 11 | Minor change in the length of carbon chain has a great influence on the antitumor effect of paclitaxel-fatty alcohol prodrug nanoassemblies:Small roles,big impacts显示文摘Prodrug-based nanoassembly emerges as a hopeful way for the efficient delivery of antitumor drugs,with carrier-free structure and ultra-high drug loading.Carbon chains are widely used to design self-assembling prodrugs.The impacts of the length of carbon chains on the self-assembly stability,drug delivery efficiency and antitumor effect of prodrugs have not been fully elucidated.Here,three paclitaxel prodrugs were synthesized by conjugating paclitaxel with octanol(C_(8)),decanol(C_(10))or dodecanol(C_(12))through disulfide bond.The three prodrugs could form homogeneous nanoparticles,with over 50%drug loading and redox dual-responsivity.Interestingly,the length extension of carbon chains ameliorates the self-assembly and the colloidal stability of prodrugs,thus improving the drug delivery efficiency.The optimal paclitaxel-dodecanol prodrug nanoassemblies exhibit better antitumor efficacy than Taxol and Abraxane.These findings are meaningful for the rational design of advanced nanomedicines in cancer therapy. | Xin Wang Lingxiao Li Danping Wang Shiyi Zuo Tian Liu Fudan Dong Xuanbo Zhang Zhonggui He Bingjun Sun Jin Sun | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,4: | 1 |
| 12 | Seasonal differences in climatic controls of vegetation growth in the Beijing–Tianjin Sand Source Region of China显示文摘Launched in 2002, the Beiing–Tianjin Sand Source Control Project (BTSSCP) is an ecological restoration project intended to prevent desertification in China. Evidence from multiple sources has confirmed increases in vegetation growth in the BTSSCP region since the initiation of this project. Precipitation and essential climate variable-soil moisture (ECV-SM) conditions are typically considered to be the main drivers of vegetation growth in this region. Although many studies have investigated the inter-annual variations of vegetation growth, few concerns have been focused on the annual and seasonal variations of vegetation growth and their climatic drivers, which are crucial for understanding the relationships among the climate, vegetation, and human activities at the regional scale. Based on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from MODIS and the corresponding climatic data, we explored the responses of vegetation growth to climatic factors at annual and seasonal scales in the BTSSCP region during the period 2000–2014. Over the study region as a whole, NDVI generally increased from 2000 to 2014, at a rate of 0.002/a. Vegetation growth is stimulated mainly by the elevated temperature in spring, whereas precipitation is the leading driver of summer greening. In autumn, positive effects of both temperature and precipitation on vegetation growth were observed. The warming in spring promotes vegetation growth but reduces ECV-SM. Summer greening has a strong cooling effect on land surface temperature. These results indicate that the ecological and environmental consequences of ecological restoration projects should be comprehensively evaluated. | SHAN Lishan YU Xiang SUN Lingxiao HE Bin WANG Haiyan XIE Tingting | 2018 | Journal of Arid Land2018,10,6: | 1 |
| 13 | Impact of the amount of PEG on prodrug nanoassemblies for efficient cancer therapy显示文摘PEGylation has been widely used to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of prodrug self-assembled nanoparticles(prodrug-SANPs).However,the impacts of the amount of PEG on the self-assemble stability,cellular uptake,pharmacokinetics,and antitumor efficacy of prodrug-SANPs are still unknown.Herein,selenoether bond bridged docetaxel dimeric prodrug was synthesized as the model prodrug.Five prodrug-SANPs were designed by using different mass ratios of prodrugs to PEG(W_(prodrug)/W_(DSPE-mPEG2000)=10:0,9:1,8:2,7:3 and 6:4),and defined as Pure drug NPs,9:1NPs,8:2NPs,7:3 NPs and 6:4 NPs,respectively.Interestingly,8:2 NPs formed the most compact nanostructure,thus improving the self-assemble stability and pharmacokinetics behavior.In addition,the difference of these prodrug-SANPs in cellular uptake was investigated,and the influence of PEG on cytotoxicity and antitumor efficacy was also clarified in details.The 8:2 NPs exhibited much better antitumor efficacy than other prodrug-SANPs and even commercial product.Our findings demonstrated the pivotal role of the amount of PEG on prodrug-SANPs. | Yaqiao Li Lingxiao Li Qianhui Jin Tian Liu Jin Sun Yongjun Wang Zhijun Yang Zhonggui He Bingjun Sun | 2022 | Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences2022,17,2: | 1 |
| 14 | Model based decision support system for land use changes and socio-economic assessments显示文摘Hydrological models are often linked with other models in cognate sciences to understand the interactions among climate, earth, water, ecosystem, and human society. This paper presents the development and implementation of a decision support system(DSS) that links the outputs of hydrological models with real-time decision making on social-economic assessments and land use management. Discharge and glacier geometry changes were simulated with hydrological model, water availability in semiarid environments. Irrigation and ecological water were simulated by a new commercial software MIKE HYDRO. Groundwater was simulated by MODFLOW. All the outputs of theses hydrological models were taken as inputs into the DSS in three types of links: regression equations, stationary data inputs, or dynamic data inputs as the models running parallel in the simulation periods. The DSS integrates the hydrological data, geographic data, social and economic statistical data, and establishes the relationships with equations, conditional statements and fuzzy logics. The programming is realized in C++. The DSS has four remarkable features:(1) editable land use maps to assist decision-making;(2) conjunctive use of surface and groundwater resources;(3) interactions among water, earth, ecosystem, and humans; and(4) links with hydrological models. The overall goal of the DSS is to combine the outputs of scientific models, knowledge of experts, and perspectives of stakeholders, into a computer-based system, which allows sustainability impact assessment within regional planning; and to understand ecosystem services and integrate them into land and water management. | YU Yang CHEN Xi Philipp HUTTNER Marie HINNENTHAL Andreas BRIEDEN SUN Lingxiao Markus DISSE | 2018 | Journal of Arid Land2018,10,2: | 1 |

| 16 | No tillage outperforms conventional tillage under arid conditions and following fertilization显示文摘Reduced tillage practices present a tool that could sustainably intensify agriculture.The existing literature,however,lacks a consensus on how and when reduced tillage practices should get implemented.We reanalyzed here an extensive dataset comparing how regular tillage practices(i.e.,conventional tillage)impacted yield of eight crops compared to stopping tillage altogether(i.e.,no-tillage practice).We observed that aridity and fertilization favored no tillage over conventional tillage whereas conventional tillage performed better under high fertility settings.We further show that the responses are consistent across the crops.Our reanalysis complements the original and fills a gap in the literature questioning the conditions under which reducing tillage presents a viable alternative to common tillage practices. | Stavros D.Veresoglou Junjiang Chen Xuheng Du Qi Fu QingLiu Geng Chenyan Huang Xilin Huang Nan Hu Yiming Hun Guolin C.Li Zhiman Lin Zhiyu Ma Yuyi Ou Shuo Qi Haitian Qin Yingbo Qiu Xibin Sun Ye Tao YiLing Tian Jie Wang Lingxiao Wu Ziwei Wu Siqi Xie Ao Yang Dan Yang Chen Zeng Ying Zeng RuJie Zhang | 2023 | Soil Ecology Letters2023,5,1: | 1 |

| 18 | Boosting Multi-modal Ocular Recognition via Spatial Feature Reconstruction and Unsupervised Image Quality Estimation显示文摘In the daily application of an iris-recognition-at-a-distance(IAAD)system,many ocular images of low quality are acquired.As the iris part of these images is often not qualified for the recognition requirements,the more accessible periocular regions are a good complement for recognition.To further boost the performance of IAAD systems,a novel end-to-end framework for multi-modal ocular recognition is proposed.The proposed framework mainly consists of iris/periocular feature extraction and matching,unsupervised iris quality assessment,and a score-level adaptive weighted fusion strategy.First,ocular feature reconstruction(OFR)is proposed to sparsely reconstruct each probe image by high-quality gallery images based on proper feature maps.Next,a brand new unsupervised iris quality assessment method based on random multiscale embedding robustness is proposed.Different from the existing iris quality assess-ment methods,the quality of an iris image is measured by its robustness in the embedding space.At last,the fusion strategy exploits the iris quality score as the fusion weight to coalesce the complementary information from the iris and periocular regions.Extensive experi-mental results on ocular datasets prove that the proposed method is obviously better than unimodal biometrics,and the fusion strategy can significantly improve therecognition performance. | Zihui Yan Yunlong Wang Kunbo Zhang Zhenan Sun Lingxiao He | 2024 | Machine Intelligence Research2024,21,1: | 0 |
| 19 | Clinical Evaluation of Traumatic Ciliochoroidal Detachment with Surgical Treatment显示文摘Purpose: To determine the clinical features of traumatic ciliochoroidal detachment(CCD), and to evaluate the surgical outcomes.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 37 consecutive patients with traumatic CCD who underwent surgical procedures,.including ciliary body suturing,.transscleral cyclophotocoagulation,.and cyclocryopexy..A complete ocular examination was performed at pre-surgery and at periodical post-surgery follow-ups. We compared visual acuity(VA),intraocular pressure.(IOP),.and morphologic changes with UBM among the different surgical procedures at the presurgery and periodical follow-ups.Results:.The mean IOP was 6.62 mmHg, and the median VA was 20 / 200 at baseline..The mean final IOP was 11.03mmHg,.and the final median VA improved to 20 / 50..IOPs were significantly different in post-surgery compared with those at baseline(P=0.000) among the ciliary body suturing,cyclophotocoagulation, and cyclocryopexy groups. However,no significant differences were noted at each follow-up among the 3 groups(P>0.05). The post-surgical morphological figures consisted of complete reattachment, partial reattachment,and the complete detachment. Cyclocryopexy(71.4%), suturing(68.4%), and cyclophotocoagulation(63.6%) produced similar surgical outcomes of the complete reattachment based on UBM images.Conclusion:Prompt treatment and periodic follow-ups are necessary after traumatic CCD, based on accurate dimensions and configuration by UBM. The appropriate choice of surgical procedures is pivotal for an optimal outcome. | Jiangang Yang Qianying Liu Xiaoyan Li Lingxiao Zhou Pengrui Sun XiaoHua Wang | 2013 | Eye Science2013,28,3: | 0 |
| 20 | Artificial tumor microenvironment regulated by first hemorrhage for enhanced tumor targeting and then occlusion for synergistic bioactivation of hypoxia-sensitive platesomes显示文摘The unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment(TME)could be exploited to develop antitumor nanomedicine strategies.However,in many cases,the actual therapeutic effect is far from reaching our expectations due to the notable tumor heterogeneity.Given the amplified characteristics of TME regulated by vascular disrupting agents(VDAs),nanomedicines may achieve unexpected improved efficacy.Herein,we fabricate platelet membrane-fusogenic liposomes(PML/DP&PPa),namely“platesomes”,which actively load the hypoxia-activated pro-prodrug DMG-PR104A(DP)and physically encapsulate the photosensitizer pyropheophorbide a(PPa).Considering the different stages of tumor vascular collapse and shutdown induced by a VDA combretastatin-A4 phosphate(CA4P),PML/DP&PPa is injected 3 h after intraperitoneal administration of CA4P.First,CA4P-mediated tumor hemorrhage amplifies the enhanced permeation and retention(EPR)effect,and the platesome-biological targeting further promotes the tumor accumulation of PML/DP&PPa.Besides,CA4P-induced vascular occlusion inhibits oxygen supply,followed by photodynamic therapy-caused acute tumor hypoxia.This prolonged extreme hypoxia contributes to the complete activation of DP and then high inhibitory effect on tumor growth and metastasis.Thus,such a combining strategy of artificially-regulated TME and bio-inspired platesomes pronouncedly improves tumor drug delivery and boosts tumor hypoxia-selective activation,and provides a preferable solution to high-efficiency cancer therapy. | Wenhui Tao Dongyang Zhao Guanting Li Lingxiao Li Songhao Li Hao Ye Chutong Tian Yutong Lu Shuying Li Yinghua Sun Zhonggui He Jin Sun | 2022 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2022,12,3: | 0 |
