| 1 | On the origin and continuing evolution of SARS-CoV-2显示文摘The SARS-Co V-2 epidemic started in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has since impacted a large portion of China and raised major global concern. Herein, we investigated the extent of molecular divergence between SARS-CoV-2 and other related coronaviruses. Although we found only 4% variability in genomic nucleotides between SARS-CoV-2 and a bat SARS-related coronavirus(SARSr-CoV;Ra TG13), the difference at neutral sites was 17%, suggesting the divergence between the two viruses is much larger than previously estimated. Our results suggest that the development of new variations in functional sites in the receptor-binding domain(RBD) of the spike seen in SARS-Co V-2 and viruses from pangolin SARSr-Co Vs are likely caused by natural selection besides recombination. Population genetic analyses of 103 SARS-CoV-2 genomes indicated that these viruses had two major lineages(designated L and S), that are well defined by two different SNPs that show nearly complete linkage across the viral strains sequenced to date. We found that L lineage was more prevalent than the S lineage within the limited patient samples we examined. The implication of these evolutionary changes on disease etiology remains unclear.These findings strongly underscores the urgent need for further comprehensive studies that combine viral genomic data, with epidemiological studies of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19). | Xiaolu Tang Changcheng Wu Xiang Li Yuhe Song Xinmin Yao Xinkai Wu Yuange Duan Hong Zhang Yirong Wang Zhaohui Qian Jie Cui Jian Lu | 2020 | National Science Review2020,7,6: | 67 |
| 2 | Sparse microwave imaging:Principles and applications显示文摘This paper provides principles and applications of the sparse microwave imaging theory and technology.Synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is an important method of modern remote sensing.During decades microwave imaging technology has achieved remarkable progress in the system performance of microwave imaging technology,and at the same time encountered increasing complexity in system implementation.The sparse microwave imaging introduces the sparse signal processing theory to radar imaging to obtain new theory,new system and new methodology of microwave imaging.Based on classical SAR imaging model and fundamental theories of sparse signal processing,we can derive the model of sparse microwave imaging,which is a sparse measurement and recovery problem and can be solved with various algorithms.There exist several fundamental points that must be considered in the efforts of applying sparse signal processing to radar imaging,including sparse representation,measurement matrix construction,unambiguity reconstruction and performance evaluation.Based on these considerations,the sparse signal processing could be successfully applied to radar imaging,and achieve benefits in several aspects,including improvement of image quality,reduction of data amount for sparse scene and enhancement of system performance.The sparse signal processing has also been applied in several specific radar imaging applications. | ZHANG BingChen HONG Wen WU YiRong | 2012 | Science China(Information Sciences)2012,55,8: | 48 |
| 3 | Waveform design and high-resolution imaging of cognitive radar based on compressive sensing显示文摘We introduce the compressive sensing(CS) theory for waveform design of cognitive radar,and then propose an algorithm for the high-resolution radar signal waveform and its corresponding imaging method based on the sparse orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-linear frequency modulation(OFDM-LFM) signal.We first present the principle of spectrum synthesis and high-resolution imaging based on OFDM-LFM signals.Then,we propose the spectrum-sparse waveform design criterion and the reconstruction algorithm for a highresolution range profile(HRRP) based on CS.Based on this,we analyze in detail the relationship between the scattering characteristics of the target and the parameters of the designed signal,and we construct the feedback of the target characteristics on the waveforms.Therefore,the 'cognitive' function of radar can be achieved by adaptively adjusting the waveform with the target characteristics.Simulations are given to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. | LUO Ying ZHANG Qun HONG Wen WU YiRong | 2012 | Science China(Information Sciences)2012,55,11: | 19 |
| 4 | Response of Pinus koraiensis seedling growth to different light conditions based on the assessment of photosynthesis in current and one-year-old needles显示文摘As one of the three major five-leaved pines in the northern hemisphere,Pinus koraiensis is the most important dominant tree species in the natural mixed-broadleaved Korean pine forests.However,the regeneration of P.koraiensis under the canopy of secondary forest stands is poor because of the light limitation.This study was conducted to understand how P.koraiensis seedlings adapt to different light intensities and what would be the optimum light level for their establishment and growth.Three repetition plots with four light intensities(15%,30%,60%and 100%of the natural incident irradiances,achieved by suspending layers of black nylon net above and surrounding the plots)were set up under natural climate conditions in a montane region in eastern Liaoning Province,Northeast China.A total of 80 P.koraiensis seedlings with similar height and root collar diameter were transplanted into four plots.After one year of acclimation to the specific light conditions,the seasonal variations of the photosynthetic variables and needle traits of the current and one-year-old needles,and the growth parameters were observed under four light intensities.The results indicated that:(1)The seedling at60%treatment exhibited the greatest growth,which agreed with the response of the light-saturated photosynthetic rates(Amax)and the dark respiration rate(Rd)in the current and one-year-old needles,i.e.,Rd at60%treatment was significantly lower than that at 100%treatment,but Amax did not differ between the seedlings at 100%and 60%treatments.(2)The P.koraiensis seedlings have a certain photosynthetic plasticity to adapt the light conditions by adjusting their needle traits and regulating the physiological processes,because Amax,Rd,light saturation point and compensation point,the needle mass area,needle nitrogen and chlorophyll contents were significantly(p<0.05)correlated with the light intensities.Especially,Amax at 100%and 60%treatments was significantly higher(p<0.05)than that at 30%and 15%treatments for both current and one-year-old needles.(3)The needles of different ages played a commutative role during the growing season,i.e.,the one-year-old needles played a major role for the photosynthesis in the early growing season;the current year needles did in the later growing season.This ensured the effective photosynthesis throughout the growing season.These findings suggest that P.koraiensis is the in-between heliophilous and shade-tolerant tree species at least for the seedlings up to 8 years. | Jiaojun Zhu Kai Wang Yirong Sun Qiaoling Yan | 2014 | Journal of Forestry Research2014,25,1: | 13 |
| 5 | Graphitic Carbon Quantum Dots Modified Nickel Cobalt Sulfide as Cathode Materials for Alkaline Aqueous Batteries显示文摘Carbon quantum dots(CQDs)as a new class of emerging materials have gradually drawn researchers’concern in recent years.In this work,the graphitic CQDs are prepared through a scalable approach,achieving a high yield with more than 50%.The obtained CQDs are further used as structure-directing and conductive agents to synthesize novel N,S-CQDs/NiCo2S4 composite cathode materials,manifesting the enhanced electrochemical properties resulted from the synergistic effect of highly conductive N,S-codoped CQDs offering fast electronic transport and unique micro-/nanostructured NiCo2S4 microspheres with Faradaic redox characteristic contributing large capacity.Moreover,the nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide(N-rGO)/Fe2O3 composite anode materials exhibit ultrahigh specific capacity as well as significantly improved rate property and cycle performance originating from the high-capacity prism-like Fe2O3 hexahedrons tightly wrapped by highly conductive N-rGO.A novel alkaline aqueous battery assembled by these materials displays a specific energy(50.2 Wh kg^−1),ultrahigh specific power(9.7 kW kg^−1)and excellent cycling performance with 91.5%of capacity retention at 3 A g^−1 for 5000 cycles.The present research offers a valuable guidance for the exploitation of advanced energy storage devices by the rational design and selection of battery/capacitive composite materials. | Yirong Zhu Jingying Li Xiaoru Yun Ganggang Zhao Peng Ge Guoqiang Zou Yong Liu Hongshuai Hou Xiaobo Ji | 2020 | Nano-Micro Letters2020,12,2: | 10 |
| 6 | Recognition of Palliative Care in Chinese Clinicians:How They Feel and What They Know显示文摘Objective To investigate doctors'feelings when providing medical care to end-stage patients,and their understanding as well as reflection about theoretical concepts of palliative medicine.Methods Questionnaires were delivered through a social networking platform to1500clinicians of different specialties in10proviences of China.It covered issues of background information,self-assessment of familiarity to palliative care,prior training history,emotional attitude toward end-stage patients,and the reflections on clinical practice.Logistic regression analysis and chi-square test were used to analyse the categorical variables.Results There were379clinicians who completed the questionnaires and submitted successfully.Among them,66.8%(253/379)had attended palliative care training courses more than twice;66.8%(253/379)clinicians percieved powerless feeling when facing end-stage patients.We found that the education on palliative medicine was significantly associated to doctors'better comprehension on the concept of palliative care(OR=6.923,P=0.002).Doctors who were more familiar with palliative medicine were less likely to perceive powerless feelings(χ^2=13.015,P<0.001),and would be more likely to concern about patients and their family members in their clinical work(χ^2=28.754,P<0.001,χ^2=24.406,P<0.001).Conclusion The powerless feeling is prevalent in Chinese doctors when facing end-stage patients.Palliative care help them overcome the negative feelings and act more caring in clinic.More careful designed educational strategies that adapt to Chinese actual situation are needed to improve doctors'cognition on palliative care. | Yirong Xiang Xiaohong Ning | 2018 | Chinese Medical Sciences Journal2018,33,4: | 9 |
| 7 | Low-dose real-time X-ray imaging with nontoxic double perovskite scintillators显示文摘X-rays are widely used in probing inside information nondestructively,enabling broad applications in the medical radiography and electronic industries.X-ray imaging based on emerging lead halide perovskite scintillators has received extensive attention recently.However,the strong self-absorption,relatively low light yield and lead toxicity of these perovskites restrict their practical applications.Here,we report a series of nontoxic double-perovskite scintillators of Cs_(2)Ag_(0.6)Na_(0.4)In_(1-y)Bi_(y)Cl_(6).By controlling the content of the heavy atom Bi^(3+),the X-ray absorption coefficient,radiative emission efficiency,light yield and light decay were manipulated to maximise the scintillator performance.A light yield of up to 39,000±7000 photons/MeV for Cs_(2)Ag_(0.6)Na_(0.4)In_(0.85)Bi_(0.15)Cl_(6) was obtained,which is much higher than that for the previously reported lead halide perovskite colloidal CsPbBr_(3)(21,000 photons/MeV).The large Stokes shift between the radioluminescence(RL)and absorption spectra benefiting from self-trapped excitons(STEs)led to a negligible selfabsorption effect.Given the high light output and fast light decay of this scintillator,static X-ray imaging was attained under an extremely low dose of ∼1μGy_(air),and dynamic X-ray imaging of finger bending without a ghosting effect was demonstrated under a low-dose rate of 47.2μGy_(air) s^(−1).After thermal treatment at 85℃ for 50 h followed by X-ray irradiation for 50 h in ambient air,the scintillator performance in terms of the RL intensity and X-ray image quality remained almost unchanged.Our results shed light on exploring highly competitive scintillators beyond the scope of lead halide perovskites,not only for avoiding toxicity but also for better performance. | Wenjuan Zhu Wenbo Ma Yirong Su Zeng Chen Xinya Chen Yaoguang Ma Lizhong Bai Wenge Xiao Tianyu Liu Haiming Zhu Xiaofeng Liu Huafeng Liu Xu Liu Yang(Michael)Yang | 2020 | Light(Science & Applications)2020,9,1: | 9 |
| 8 | Experimental results and analysis of sparse microwave imaging from spaceborne radar raw data显示文摘Sparse microwave imaging is a novel radar framework aiming to bring revolutions to the microwave imaging according to the theory of sparse signal processing.As compressive sensing(CS)is introduced to synthetic aperture radar(SAR)imaging in recent years,the current SAR sparse imaging methods have shown their advantages over the traditional matched filtering methods.However,the requirement for these methods to process the compressed range data results in the increase of the hardware complexity.So the SAR sparse imaging method that directly uses the raw data is needed.This paper describes the method of SAR sparse imaging with raw data directly,presents the analysis of the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)in the echo signal by combining the traditional radar equation with the compressive sensing theory,and provides the tests on 2-D simulated SAR data.The simulation results demonstrate the validity of the SNR analysis,and the good performance of the proposed method while a large percentage of the raw data is dropped.An experiment with RadarSat-1 raw data is also carried out to show the feasibility of processing the real SAR data via the method proposed in this paper.Our method is helpful for designing new SAR systems. | JIANG ChengLong ZHANG BingChen ZHANG Zhe HONG Wen WU YiRong | 2012 | Science China(Information Sciences)2012,55,8: | 9 |
| 9 | Multi-channel SAR imaging based on distributed compressive sensing显示文摘The rapid development of compressive sensing(CS)shows that it is possible to recover a sparse signal from very limited measurements.Synthetic aperture radar(SAR)imaging based on CS can reconstruct the target scene with a reduced number of collected samples by solving an optimization problem.For multi-channel SAR imaging based on CS,each channel requires sufficient samples for separate imaging and the total number of samples could still be large.We propose an imaging algorithm based on distributed compressive sensing(DCS)that reconstructs scenes jointly under multiple channels.Multi-channel SAR imaging based on DCS not only exploits the sparsity of the target scene,but also exploits the correlation among channels.It requires significantly fewer samples than multi-channel SAR imaging based on CS.If multiple channels offer different sampling rates,DCS joint processing can reconstruct target scenes with a much more flexible allocation of the number of measurements offered by each channel than that used in separate CS processing. | LIN YueGuan ZHANG BingChen JIANG Hai HONG Wen WU YiRong | 2012 | Science China(Information Sciences)2012,55,2: | 8 |
| 10 | Current progress in sparse signal processing applied to radar imaging显示文摘Sparse signal processing is a signal processing technique that takes advantage of signal’s sparsity,allowing signal to be recovered with a reduced number of samples.Compressive sensing,a new branch of the sparse signal processing,has become a rapidly growing research field.Sparse microwave imaging introduces the sparse signal processing theory to radar imaging to obtain new theories,new systems and new methodologies of microwave imaging.This paper first summarizes the latest application of sparse microwave imaging,including Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR),tomographic SAR and inverse SAR.As sparse signal processing keeps evolving,an avalanche of results have been obtained.We also highlight its recent theoretical advances,including structured sparsity,off-grid,Bayesian approaches,and point out new research directions in sparse microwave imaging. | ZHAO Yao FENG Jing ZHANG BingChen HONG Wen WU YiRong | 2013 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2013,56,12: | 6 |
| 11 | CD147 antibody specifically and effectively inhibits infection and cytokine storm of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants delta,alpha,beta,and gamma显示文摘SARS-CoV-2 mutations contribute to increased viral transmissibility and immune escape,compromising the effectiveness of existing vaccines and neutralizing antibodies.An in-depth investigation on COVID-19 pathogenesis is urgently needed to develop a strategy against SARS-CoV-2 variants.Here,we identified CD147 as a universal receptor for SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.Meanwhile,Meplazeumab,a humanized anti-CD147 antibody,could block cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants-alpha,beta,gamma,and delta,with inhibition rates of 68.7,75.7,52.1,52.1,and 62.3%at 60μg/ml,respectively.Furthermore,humanized CD147 transgenic mice were susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and its two variants,alpha and beta.When infected,these mice developed exudative alveolar pneumonia,featured by immune responses involving alveoli-infiltrated macrophages,neutrophils,and lymphocytes and activation of IL-17 signaling pathway.Mechanistically,we proposed that severe COVID-19-related cytokine storm is induced by a'spike protein-CD147-CyPA signaling axis':Infection of SARS-CoV-2 through CD147 initiated the JAK-STAT pathway,which further induced expression of cyclophilin A(CyPA);CyPA reciprocally bound to CD147 and triggered MAPK pathway.Consequently,the MAPK pathway regulated the expression of cytokines and chemokines,which promoted the development of cytokine storm.Importantly,Meplazumab could effectively inhibit viral entry and inflammation caused by SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.Therefore,our findings provided a new perspective for severe COVID-19-related pathogenesis.Furthermore,the validated universal receptor for SARS-CoV-2 and its variants can be targeted for COVID-19 treatment. | Jiejie Geng Liang Chen Yufeng Yuan Ke Wang Youchun Wang Chuan Qin Guizhen Wu Ruo Chen Zheng Zhang Ding Wei Peng Du Jun Zhang Peng Lin Kui Zhang Yongqiang Deng Ke Xu Jiangning Liu Xiuxuan Sun Ting Guo Xu Yang Jiao Wu Jianli Jiang Ling Li Kun Zhang Zhe Wang Jing Zhang Qingguo Yan Hua Zhu Zhaohui Zheng Jinlin Miao Xianghui Fu Fengfan Yang Xiaochun Chen Hao Tang Yang Zhang Ying Shi Yumeng Zhu Zhuo Pei Fei Huo Xue Liang Yatao Wang Qingyi Wang Wen Xie Yirong Li Mingyan Shi Huijie Bian Ping Zhu Zhi-Nan Chen | 2021 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2021,6,10: | 6 |

| 14 | Conceptual design of an extractive distillation process for the separation of azeotropic mixture of n-butanol-isobutanol-water显示文摘In many chemical processes, large amounts of wastewater containing butanol and isobutanol are produced.Given that n-butanol-isobutanol-water can form triple azeotrope, high-purity butanol cannot be recovered from the wastewater by ordinary distillation. To economically and effectively recover butanol from this kind of wastewater, 1,4-butanediol is selected as an extractant to break the formation of the azeotropes, and a doubleeffect extractive distillation process is proposed. The conceptual design of the proposed process is accomplished based on process simulation. With the proposed process, the purity of recovered butanol and water is greater than 99.99 wt%. In comparison with the conventional azeotropic distillation process, economic analysis shows that the operating cost of the proposed process is lower: when the capacity of wastewater treatment is 100 t·h^(-1), the total operating cost decreases by 5.385 ×10~6 USD per year, and the total annual cost of the new process decreases by 5.249 ×10~6 USD per year. In addition, in the extractive distillation system, variable effects on separation purities and cost are more complex than those in the ordinary distillation system. The method and steps to optimize the key variables of the extractive distillation system are also discussed in this paper and can provide reference for similar studies. | Hengjun Gai Kaiqiang Lin Yirong Feng Meng Xiao Kai Guo Hongbing Song | 2018 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2018,26,10: | 5 |
| 15 | Research on Mobile Internet Mobile Agent System Dynamic Trust Model for Cloud Computing显示文摘This paper analyzes the reasons for the formation of security problems in mobile agent systems, and analyzes and compares the security mechanisms and security technologies of existing mobile agent systems from the perspective of blocking attacks. On this basis, the host protection mobile agent protection technology is selected, and a method to enhance the security protection of mobile agents (referred to as IEOP method) is proposed. The method first encrypts the mobile agent code using the encryption function, and then encapsulates the encrypted mobile agent with the improved EOP protocol IEOP, and then traces the suspicious execution result. Experiments show that using this method can block most malicious attacks on mobile agents, and can protect the integrity and confidentiality of mobile agents, but the increment of mobile agent tour time is not large. | Weijin Jiang Yang Wang Yirong Jiang Jiahui Chen Yuhui Xu Lina Tan | 2019 | China Communications2019,16,7: | 5 |

| 18 | Evolutionary Dynamics Modeling of Symbolic Social Network Structure Equilibrium显示文摘The use of symbol attributes on the side of symbolic social networks to analyze,understand,and predict the topology,function,and dynamic behaviour of complex networks,and has important theoretical significance for personalized recommendations,attitude prediction,user feature analysis,and clustering and application value.However,due to the huge scale of online social networks,this poses a challenge to traditional symbolic social network analysis methods.Based on the theory of structural equilibrium,this paper studies the evolutionary dynamics of symbolic social networks,proposes the energy function of weak structural equilibrium theory,and uses the evolution of evolutionary algorithms to obtain the weak imbalance of the network.The simulation experiment results show that the calculation method in this paper can get the optimal solution faster.It provides an idea for the study of real and complex social networks. | Weijin Jiang Sijian Lv Yirong Jiang Jiahui Chen Fang Ye Xiaoliang Liu | 2020 | China Communications2020,17,10: | 4 |
| 19 | Activation of anterior thalamic reticular nucleus GABAergic neurons promotes arousal from propofol anesthesia in mice显示文摘Propofol is widely used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia,which causes a rapid loss of consciousness.However,the mechanisms underlying the hypnosis effect of propofol are still not fully understood.The thalamic reticular nucleus(TRN)is crucial for regulating wakefulness,sleep rhythm generation,and sleep stability,while the role of TRN in the process of propofol-induced anesthesia is still unknown.Here,we investigated the function of the anterior TRN in propofol general anesthesia.Our results demonstrated that the neural activity of anterior TRN is suppressed during propofol anesthesia,whereas it is robustly activated from anesthesia by recording the calcium signals using fiber photometry technology.The results showed that the activation of anterior TRN neurons by chemogenetic and optogenetic methods shortens the emergency time without changing the induction time.Conversely,chemogenetic or optogenetic inhibition of the TRN neurons leads to a delay in the recovery time.Our study showed that anterior TRN is crucial for behavioral arousal without affecting the induction time of propofol anesthesia. | Yanjun Liu Bing Chen Yirong Cai Yuan Han Ying Xia Nanqi Li Bingqian Fan Tianjie Yuan Junli Jiang Po Gao Weifeng Yu Yingfu Jiao Wenxian Li | 2021 | Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica2021,53,7: | 3 |

Methods: The expression of CAV-1 and MMP-2 were detected by the SP immunohis- tochemical method in 77 cases of bladder cancer. Results: The positive rates of CAV-1, MMP-2 in bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC) and bladder adenocarcinoma were significantly high than those of normal bladder mucosa, the positive rates in the deeper cancer invasion was significantly high than those of superficial bladder cancer (P < 0.01), the positive rates of CAV-1 in grades I, II and III of bladder transitional cell carcinaoma (BTCC) were 15%, 40% and 68%, respectively; the positive rates of MMP-2 in grades I , II and III of bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC) were 20% , 40% and 72%, respectively (P < 0.01). CAV-1 was positive associated with MMP-2 in bladder cancer (r = 0.598, P < 0.001), but not in bladder tissue. Conclusion: CAV-1 and MMP-2 were associated with stage and grade of bladder cancer, which suggested that CAV-1 might improve secretion of MMP-2. | Hengping Li Yirong Chen Dongwen Yan | 2007 | The Chinese-German Journal of Clinical Oncology2007,6,6: | 3 |
