| 1 | Transgenic expression of MYB15 confers enhanced sensitivity to abscisic acid and improved drought tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana显示文摘Abiotic stresses cause serious crop losses. Knowledge on genes functioning in plant responses to adverse growth conditions is essential for developing stress tolerant crops. Here we report that transgenic expression of MYB15, encoding a R2R3 MYB transcription factor in Arabidopsis thaliana, conferred hypersensitivity to exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and improved tolerance to drought and salt stresses. The promoter of MYB15 was active in not only vegetative and reproductive organs but also the guard cells of stomata. Its transcript level was substantially upregulated by ABA, drought or salt treatments. Compared with wild type (WT) control, MYB15 overexpression lines were hypersensitive to ABA in germination assays, more susceptible to ABA-elicited inhibition of root elongation, and more sensitive to ABA-induced stomatal closure. In line with the above findings, the transcript levels of ABA biosynthesis (ABA1, ABA2), signaling (ABI3), and responsive genes (AtADH1, RD22, RD29B, AtEM6) were generally higher in MYB15 overexpression seedlings than in WT controls after treatment with ABA. MYB15 overexpression lines displayed improved survival and reduced water loss rates than WT control under water deficiency conditions. These overexpression lines also displayed higher tolerance to NaCl stress. Collectively, our data suggest that overexpression of MYB15 improves drought and salt tolerance in Arabidopsis possibly by enhancing the expression levels of the genes involved in ABA biosynthesis and signaling, and those encoding the stress-protective proteins. | Zhenhua Ding Shiming Li Xueli An Xin Liu Huanju Qin Daowen Wang | 2009 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2009，36，1： | 42 |
| 2 | Significance of dredging on sediment denitrification in Meiliang Bay,China:A year long simulation study显示文摘An experiment for studying the effects of sediment dredging on denitrification in sediments was carried out through a one-year incubation of undredged (control) and dredged cores in laboratory. Dredging the upper 30 cm of sediment can significantly affect physico-chemical characteristics of sediments. Less degradation of organic matter in the dredged sediments was found during the experiment. Denitrification rates in the sediments were estimated by the acetylene blockage technique, and ranged from 21.6 to 102.7 nmol N2/(g dry weight (dw)·hr) for the undredged sediment and from 6.9 to 26.9 nmol N2/(g dw·hr) for dredged sediments. The denitrification rates in the undredged sediments were markedly higher (p<0.05) than those in the dredged sediments throughout the incubation, with the exception of February 2006. The importance of various environmental factors on denitrification was assessed, which indicated that denitrification was regulated by temperature. Nitrate was probably the key factor limiting denitrification in both undredged and dredged sediments. Organic carbon played some role in determining the denitrification rates in the dredged sediments, but not in the undredged sediments. Sediment dredging influenced the mineralization of organic matter and denitrification in the sediment; and therefore changed the pattern of inherent cycling of nitrogen. | Jicheng Zhong Chengxin Fan Lu Zhang Edward Hall Shiming Ding Bao Li Guofeng Liu | 2010 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2010，22，1： | 40 |
| 3 | Advances and challenges in the treatment of esophageal cancer显示文摘Esophageal cancer(EC)is one of the most common cancers with high morbidity and mortality rates.EC includes two histological subtypes,namely esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)and esophageal adenocarcinoma(EAC).ESCC primarily occurs in East Asia,whereas EAC occurs in Western countries.The currently available treatment strategies for EC include surgery,chemotherapy,radiation therapy,molecular targeted therapy,and combinations thereof.However,the prognosis remains poor,and the overall five-year survival rate is very low.Therefore,achieving the goal of effective treatment remains challenging.In this review,we discuss the latest developments in chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy for EC,and comprehensively analyze the application prospects and existing problems of immunotherapy.Collectively,this review aims to provide a better understanding of the currently available drugs through in-depth analysis,promote the development of new therapeutic agents,and eventually improve the treatment outcomes of patients with EC. | Shiming He Jian Xu Xiujun Liu Yongsu Zhen | 2021 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2021，11，11： | 26 |
| 4 | High-performance silicon−graphene hybrid plasmonic waveguide photodetectors beyond 1.55μm显示文摘Graphene has attracted much attention for the realization of high-speed photodetection for silicon photonics over a wide wavelength range.However,the reported fast graphene photodetectors mainly operate in the 1.55μm wavelength band.In this work,we propose and realize high-performance waveguide photodetectors based on bolometric/photoconductive effects by introducing an ultrathin wide silicon−graphene hybrid plasmonic waveguide,which enables efficient light absorption in graphene at 1.55μm and beyond.When operating at 2μm,the present photodetector has a responsivity of ~70 mA/W and a setup-limited 3 dB bandwidth of >20 GHz.When operating at 1.55μm,the present photodetector also works very well with a broad 3 dB bandwidth of >40 GHz(setup-limited)and a high responsivity of ~0.4 A/W even with a low bias voltage of−0.3 V.This work paves the way for achieving highresponsivity and high-speed silicon-graphene waveguide photodetection in the near/mid-infrared ranges,which has applications in optical communications,nonlinear photonics,and on-chip sensing. | Jingshu Guo Jiang Li Chaoyue Liu Yanlong Yin Wenhui Wang Zhenhua Ni Zhilei Fu Hui Yu Yang Xu Yaocheng Shi Yungui Ma Shiming Gao Limin Tong Daoxin Dai | 2020 | Light(Science & Applications)2020，9，1： | 10 |

| 6 | Blunted nitric oxide regulation in Tibetans under high-altitude hypoxia显示文摘Nitric oxide(NO) is an important molecule for vasomotor tone, and elevated NO signaling was previously hypothesized as a unique and adaptive physiological change in highland Tibetans. However, there has been lack of NO data from Tibetans living at low altitude and lowlander immigrants living at high altitude, which is crucial to test this hypothesis. Here, through cross-altitude(1990–5018 m) and cross-population(Tibetans and Han Chinese) analyses of serum NO metabolites(NOx) of 2086 individuals, we demonstrate that although Tibetans have a higher serum NOx level compared to lowlanders, Han Chinese immigrants living at high altitude show an even higher level than Tibetans. Consequently, our data contradict the previous proposal of increased NO signaling as the unique adaptive strategy in Tibetans.Instead, Tibetans have a relatively lower circulating NOx level at high altitude. This observation is further supported by data from the hypoxic experiments using human umbilical vein endothelial cells and gene knockout mice. No difference is detected between Tibetans and Han Chinese for endothelial nitric oxide synthase(e NOS), the key enzyme for circulating NO synthesis, suggesting that e NOS itself is unlikely to be the cause. We show that other NO synthesis-related genes(e.g. GCH1) carry Tibetan-enriched mutations significantly associated with the level of circulating NOx in Tibetans. Furthermore, gene network analysis revealed that the downregulation and upregulation of NOx is possibly achieved through distinct pathways.Collectively, our findings provide novel insights into the physiological and genetic mechanisms of the evolutionary adaptation of Tibetans to high-altitude hypoxia. | Yaoxi He Xuebin Qi Ouzhuluobu Shiming Liu Jun Li Hui Zhang Baimakangzhuo Caijuan Bai Wangshan Zheng Yongbo Guo Duojizhuoma Baimayangji Dejiquzong Bianba Gonggalanzi Yongyue Pan Qula Kangmin Cirenyangji Wei Guo Yangla Yi Peng Xiaoming Zhang Kun Xiang Zhaohui Yang Liangbang Wang Gengdeng Yanfeng Zhang Tianyi Wu Bing Su Chaoying Cui | 2018 | National Science Review2018，5，4： | 7 |
| 7 | Feature analysis of LIDAR waveforms from forest canopies显示文摘Airborne light detection and ranging (LIDAR) can detect the three-dimensional structure of forest canopies by transmitting laser pulses and receiving returned waveforms which contain backscatter from branches and leaves at different heights.We established a solid scatterer model to explain the widened durations found in analyzing the relationship between laser pulses and forest canopies,and obtained the corresponding rule between laser pulse duration and scatterer depth.Based on returned waveform characteristics,scatterers were classified into three types:simple,solid and complex.We developed single-peak derivative and multiple-peak derivative analysis methods to retrieve waveform features and discriminate between scatterer types.Solid scatterer simulations showed that the returned waveforms were widened as scatterer depth increased,and as space between sub-scatterers increased the returned waveforms developed two peaks which subsequently developed into two separate sub-waveforms.There were slight differences between the durations of simulated and measured waveforms.LIDAR waveform data are able to describe the backscatter characteristics of forest canopies,and have potential to improve the estimation accuracy of forest parameters. | LIU QingWang LI ZengYuan CHEN ErXue PANG Yong LI ShiMing TIAN Xin | 2011 | Science China Earth Sciences2011，54，8： | 6 |
| 8 | Measurements of ^(134)Cs and ^(137)Cs in urine and estimation of the internal dose of an adult exposed to the Chernobyl Accident显示文摘To estimate the internal dose of a Chinese visiting scholar internally contaminated because of the Cherno- byl Accident, the contents of 134Cs and 137Cs in urine were measured using a Ge(Li) γ-spectrometer. The internal doses were calculated based on data from the ICRP Publications. The effective doses from 134Cs and 137Cs were estimated to be 61 μSv and 98 μ Sv, respectively. The sum of 159 μSv was lower than the total effective dose (310 μSv), from the inhalation and ingestion of natural radionuclides. The dose of 131I was also reviewed referring to the UNSCEAR 2000 Report. The equivalent effective dose of 131I was estimated to be 2.9 mSv, 18 times more than the amount of 134Cs and 137Cs. Therefore, it is considered that the earlier estimation of internal doses of 131I is important in evaluating radiation injuries from a nuclear reactor accident. | ZHAO Shuquan HUANG Shibin LIU Shiming HU Heping WU Mingyu XIANG Xiqiao ZHU Guoying | 2007 | Nuclear Science and Techniques2007，18，2： | 5 |
| 9 | Effect of artificially accelerated aging on the vigor of Metasequoia glyptostroboides seeds显示文摘Metasequoia glyptostroboides is an endangered relict plant native to China that has been widely introduced into many countries and areas around the world. However,its seeds germinate at a very low percentage. Consequently,population regeneration by seed is low under natural conditions, which probably contributes to the endangered status of this plant species. The present study aimed to describe the aging mechanism of M. glyptostroboides seeds. Our objective was to elucidate causes of the low germination rate in an effort to enhance potential for conservation of the species. We used germination tests,relative electrical conductivity and malondialdehyde content determination, ultrastructural observation of embryo cells, and analysis of superoxide dismutase, catalase,ascorbate peroxidase, and dehydroascorbate reductase activities during accelerated aging treatment. We found that M. glyptostroboides seeds have a low level of vigorand poor ability to maintain vigor, which is probably associated with the inefficiency of its enzymatic antioxidative system. | Huan Liu Yanfang Zhu Xia Liu Yu Jiang Shiming Deng Xunru Ai Zhijun Deng | 2020 | Journal of Forestry Research2020，31，3： | 5 |
| 10 | Electric conductivity and electric convertibility of potassium acetate in water, ethanol, 2,2,2–trifluoroethanol, 2–propanol and their binary blends显示文摘Salinity gradient energy between the concentrated and diluted electrolyte solutions can be converted to electric energy by using reverse electrodialysis(RED) technology. Electrolyte solution is a vital factor that impacts the energy conversion efficiency. Potassium acetate(KAc) was chosen as solute, and water, ethanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol(TFE), 2-propanol(IPA) and several of their binary mixtures were selected as solvents. Electric conductivity of these solutions were measured under varying conditions. KAc was easily ionized in water and possessed the maximum electric conductivity, following by KAc–H_2O–TFE and KAc–H_2O–ethanol, and then KAc in pure TFE, ethanol, and IPA respectively. For electric convertibility of these solutions working in a RED power generation system, it was found that the KAc–H_2O possessed the maximum power density, and the KAc–ethanol–H_2O possessed the larger open circuit voltage than aqueous KAc solution under the same working condition. Besides, it was observed that both the electric conductivity and electric convertibility were significantly influenced by the concentration and temperature of solution. With the increasing of concentration,electric conductivity of these solutions increased firstly and then reached to the peak, but later it decreased.Solution temperature took a positive impact role to the electric conductivity. Electric conductivity of these solutions can be estimated by using a modified amplitude version of Gaussian peak function. | Xi Wu Shiming Xu Debing Wu Huan Liu | 2018 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2018，26，12： | 5 |
| 11 | De novo assembly of a Tibetan genome and identification of novel structural variants associated with high-altitude adaptation显示文摘Structural variants(SVs) may play important roles in human adaptation to extreme environments such as high altitude but have been under-investigated. Here, combining long-read sequencing with multiple scaffolding techniques, we assembled a high-quality Tibetan genome(ZF1), with a contig N50 length of 24.57 mega-base pairs(Mb) and a scaffold N50 length of 58.80 Mb. The ZF1 assembly filled 80 remaining N-gaps(0.25 Mb in total length) in the reference human genome(GRCh38). Markedly, we detected17 900 SVs, among which the ZF1-specific SVs are enriched in GTPase activity that is required for activation of the hypoxic pathway. Further population analysis uncovered a 163-bp intronic deletion in the MKL1 gene showing large divergence between highland Tibetans and lowland Han Chinese. This deletion is significantly associated with lower systolic pulmonary arterial pressure, one of the key adaptive physiological traits in Tibetans. Moreover, with the use of the high-quality de novo assembly, we observed a much higher rate of genome-wide archaic hominid(Altai Neanderthal and Denisovan) shared non-reference sequences in ZF1(1.32%–1.53%) compared to other East Asian genomes(0.70%–0.98%),reflecting a unique genomic composition of Tibetans. One such archaic hominid shared sequence-a662-bp intronic insertion in the SCUBE2 gene-is enriched and associated with better lung function(the FEV1/FVC ratio) in Tibetans. Collectively, we generated the first high-resolution Tibetan reference genome, and the identified SVs may serve as valuable resources for future evolutionary and medical studies. | Ouzhuluobu Yaoxi He Haiyi Lou Chaoying Cui Lian Deng Yang Gao Wangshan Zheng Yongbo Guo Xiaoji Wang Zhilin Ning Jun Li Bin Li Caijuan Bai Baimakangzhuo Gonggalanzi Dejiquzong Bianba Duojizhuoma Shiming Liu Tianyi Wu Shuhua Xu Xuebin Qi Bing Su | 2020 | National Science Review2020，7，2： | 4 |
| 12 | Prognostic potential of an immune score based on the density of CD8+ T cells, CD20+ B cells, and CD33+/p-STAT1+ double-positive cells and HMGB1 expression within cancer nests in stage ⅢA gastric cancer patients显示文摘Objective: There is heterogeneity in the prognosis of gastric cancers staged according to the tumornodes-metastasis(TNM) system.This study evaluated the prognostic potential of an immune score system to supplement the TNM staging system.Methods: An immunohistochemical analysis was conducted to assess the density of T cells, B cells, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs) in cancer tissues from 100 stage ⅢA gastric cancer patients; the expression of the high-mobility group protein B1(HMGB1) was also evaluated in cancer cells.The relationship between the overall survival(OS), disease-free survival(DFS), and immunological parameters was analyzed.Results: An immune score system was compiled based on the prognostic role of the density of T cells, B cells, MDSCs, and the expression of HMGB1 in cancer tissues.The median 5-year survival of this group of patient was 32%.However, the 5-year survival rates of 80.0%, 51.7%, 0%, 5.8%, and 0% varied among the patients with an immune score of 4 to those with an immune score of 0 based on the immune score system, respectively.Similarly, differences in DFS rates were observed among the immune score subgroups.Conclusions: An immune score system could effectively identify the prognostic heterogeneity within stage ⅢA gastric cancer patients, implying that this immune score system may potentially supplement the TNM staging system, and help in identifying a more homogeneous group of patients who on the basis of prognosis can undergo adjuvant therapy. | Jun Dong Jiao Li Shiming Liu Xingyu Feng Shi Chen Zhiwei Zhou Yingbo Chen Xiaoshi Zhang | 2016 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2016，28，5： | 3 |
| 13 | Evaluation of Snow Depth and Snow Cover Fraction Simulated by Two Versions of the Flexible Global Ocean–Atmosphere–Land System Model显示文摘Based on historical runs, one of the core experiments of the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project(CMIP5), the snow depth(SD) and snow cover fraction(SCF) simulated by two versions of the Flexible Global Ocean– Atmosphere–Land System(FGOALS) model, Grid-point Version 2(g2) and Spectral Version 2(s2), were validated against observational data. The results revealed that the spatial pattern of SD and SCF over the Northern Hemisphere(NH) are simulated well by both models, except over the Tibetan Plateau, with the average spatial correlation coefficient over all months being around 0.7 and 0.8 for SD and SCF, respectively. Although the onset of snow accumulation is captured well by the two models in terms of the annual cycle of SD and SCF, g2 overestimates SD/SCF over most mid- and high-latitude areas of the NH. Analysis showed that g2 produces lower temperatures than s2 because it considers the indirect effects of aerosols in its atmospheric component, which is the primary driver for the SD/SCF difference between the two models. In addition, both models simulate the significant decreasing trend of SCF well over(30°–70°N) in winter during the period 1971–94. However, as g2 has a weak response to an increase in the concentration of CO2and lower climate sensitivity, it presents weaker interannual variation compared to s2. | XIA Kun WANG Bin LI Lijuan SHEN Si HUANG Wenyu XU Shiming DONG Li LIU Li | 2014 | Advances in Atmospheric Sciences2014，31，2： | 3 |
| 14 | Viscosity and degradation controlled injectable hydrogel for esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection显示文摘Endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)is a common procedure to treat early and precancerous gastrointestinal lesions.Via submucosal injection,a liquid cushion is created to lift and separate the lesion and malignant part from the muscular layer where the formed indispensable space is convenient for endoscopic incision.Saline is a most common submucosal injection liquid,but the formed liquid pad lasts only a short time,and thus repeated injections increase the potential risk of adverse events.Hydrogels with high osmotic pressure and high viscosity are used as an alternate;however,with some drawbacks such as tissue damage,excessive injection resistance,and high cost.Here,we reported a nature derived hydrogel of gelatin-oxidized alginate(G-OALG).Based on the rheological analysis and compare to commercial endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)solution(0.25%hyaluronic acid,HA),a designed G-OALG hydrogel of desired concentration and composition showed higher performances in controllable gelation and injectability,higher viscosity and more stable structures.The G-OALG gel also showed lower propulsion resistance than 0.25%HA in the injection force assessment under standard endoscopic instruments,which eased the surgical operation.In addition,the G-OALG hydrogel showed good in vivo degradability biocompatibility.By comparing the results acquired via ESD to normal saline,the G-OALG shows great histocompatibility and excellent endoscopic injectability,and enables create a longer-lasting submucosal cushion.All the features have been confirmed in the living both pig and rat models.The G-OALG could be a promising submucosal injection agent for esophageal ESD. | Chaoqiang Fan Kaige Xu Yu Huang Shuang Liu Tongchuan Wang Wei Wang Weichao Hu Lu Liu Malcolm Xing Shiming Yang | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021，6，4： | 3 |

| 16 | Deep Learning in Sheet Metal Bending With a Novel Theory-Guided Deep Neural Network显示文摘Sheet metal forming technologies have been intensively studied for decades to meet the increasing demand for lightweight metal components.To surmount the springback occurring in sheet metal forming processes,numerous studies have been performed to develop compensation methods.However,for most existing methods,the development cycle is still considerably time-consumptive and demands high computational or capital cost.In this paper,a novel theory-guided regularization method for training of deep neural networks(DNNs),implanted in a learning system,is introduced to learn the intrinsic relationship between the workpiece shape after springback and the required process parameter,e.g.,loading stroke,in sheet metal bending processes.By directly bridging the workpiece shape to the process parameter,issues concerning springback in the process design would be circumvented.The novel regularization method utilizes the well-recognized theories in material mechanics,Swift’s law,by penalizing divergence from this law throughout the network training process.The regularization is implemented by a multi-task learning network architecture,with the learning of extra tasks regularized during training.The stress-strain curve describing the material properties and the prior knowledge used to guide learning are stored in the database and the knowledge base,respectively.One can obtain the predicted loading stroke for a new workpiece shape by importing the target geometry through the user interface.In this research,the neural models were found to outperform a traditional machine learning model,support vector regression model,in experiments with different amount of training data.Through a series of studies with varying conditions of training data structure and amount,workpiece material and applied bending processes,the theory-guided DNN has been shown to achieve superior generalization and learning consistency than the data-driven DNNs,especially when only scarce and scattered experiment data are available for training which is often the case in practice.The theory-guided DNN could also be applicable to other sheet metal forming processes.It provides an alternative method for compensating springback with significantly shorter development cycle and less capital cost and computational requirement than traditional compensation methods in sheet metal forming industry. | Shiming Liu Yifan Xia Zhusheng Shi Hui Yu Zhiqiang Li Jianguo Lin | 2021 | IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica2021，8，3： | 2 |
| 17 | LOWER DOSE OF AMINOGLYCOSIDE OTOTOXIC EXPOSURE CAUSES PRESYNAPTIC ALTERATIONS ASSOICATED WITH HEARING LOSS显示文摘Objective To study presynaptic alternations of cochlear ribbons arising from aminoglycoside ototoxic stimuli in C57BL/6J mice. Methods Animals were injected with low dose gentamicin(100 mg/kg/day) for14 days, From the 14 th to 28 th days, the mice were maintained free of gentamicin treatment. Immunohistochemistry labeling was employed to trace RIBEYE, a major presynaptic componment of ribbon synapses.RIBEYE/CtBP2 expression levels were assessed and compared with hearing threshold shifts. Auditory function was assessed by auditory brainstem responses. The stereocilia of outer hair cells(OHCs) and IHCs was examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Results Hearing thresholds were elevated with peak hearing loss observed on the 7th day after gentamicin exposure, followed by improvement after the 7th day.RIBEYE/CtBP2 expression directly correlated with observed hearing threshold shifts. Strikingly, we did not see any obvious changes in stereocilia in both OHCs and IHCs until the 28 th day. Mild changes in stereocilia were only observed in OHCs on the 28 th day. Conclusions These findings indicate that presynapse cochlear ribbons, rather than stereocilia, may be sensitive to aminoglycoside ototoxic exposure in mice cochleae. A pattern of RIBEYE/CtBP2 expression changes seems to parallel hearing threshold shifts and suggests presynaptic response properties to lower dosage of aminoglycoside ototoxic stimuli. | LIU Ke WANG Xiaoyu LI Sijun TANG Siquan XU Yice WANG Xuefeng SUN Jianhe YANG Weiyan YANG Shiming | 2014 | Journal of Otology2014，9，1： | 2 |
| 18 | Phenotypic similarities in pigs with SOX10^(c.321dupC)and SOX10^(c.325A>T)mutations implied the correlation of SOX10 haploinsufficiency with Waardenburg syndrome显示文摘SOX10 is a causative gene of Waardenburg syndrome(WS)that is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hearing loss and pigment disturbance.More than 100 mutations of SOX10 have been found in patients with Type 2 WS(WS2),Type 4 WS(WS4),and more complex syndromes.However,no mutation hotspot has been detected in SOX10,and most cases are sporadic,making it difficult to establish a correlation between the high phenotypic and genetic variability.In this study,a duplication of the 321th cytosine(c.321dupC)was introduced into SOX10 in pigs,which induced premature termination of the translation of SOX10(p.K108QfsX45).The premature stop codon in Exon 3 triggered the degradation of mutant mRNA through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.However,SOX10^(c.321dupC) induced a highly similar phenotype of WS2 with heterogeneous inner ear malformation compared with its adjacent missense mutation SOX10^(c.325A>T).In addition,a site-saturation mutation analysis of the SOX10 N-terminal nuclear localization signal(n-NLS),where these two mutations located,revealed the correlation between SOX10 haploinsufficiency and WS by an in vitro reporter assay.The analysis combining the in vitro assay with clinical cases may provide a clue to clinical diagnoses. | Tingting Lin Lihua Luo Weiwei Guo Wei Ren Chuanhong Liu Hong Wei Shiming Yang Yong Wang | 2020 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2020，47，12： | 2 |
| 19 | Olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions of COVID-19 patients in China:A multicenter study显示文摘Introduction:With the spread of the epidemic worldwide,an increasing number of doctors abroad have observed the following atypical symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19):olfactory or taste disorders.Therefore,clarifying the incidence and clinical characteristics of olfactory and taste disorders in Chinese COVID-19 patients is of great significance and urgency.Materials and Methods:A retrospective study was conducted,which included 229 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 confirmed patients,through face-to-face interviews and telephone follow-up.Following the completion of questionnaires,the patients participating in the study,were categorized according to the degree of olfactory and taste disorders experienced,and the proportion of each clinical type of patient with olfactory and taste disorders and the time when symptoms appeared were recorded.Results:Among the 229 patients,31(13.54%)had olfactory dysfunction,and 44(19.21%)had gustatory dysfunction.For the patients with olfactory dysfunction,6(19.35%)developed severe disease and became critically ill.Olfactory dysfunction appeared before the other symptoms in 21.43%of cases.The proportion of females with olfactory and gustatory dysfunction was higher than that of males(P<0.001).Conclusions:The incidence of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction was much lower than that reported abroad;the prognosis of patients with olfactory dysfunction is relatively favorable;olfactory and gustatory dysfunction can be used as a sign for early screening;females are more prone to olfactory and gustatory dysfunction. | Jianhui Li Yi Sun Enqiang Qin Hu Yuan Mingbo Liu Wenqi Yi Zhu Chen Chengcheng Huang Fengjie Zhou Ruiyao Chen Leibo Zhang Ning Yu Qiong Liu Xuejun Zhou Jingjing He Boyu Li Fusheng Wang Changliang Yang Shiming Yang | 2022 | World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery2022，8，4： | 2 |
| 20 | Nitrogen addition and mowing alter drought resistance and recovery of grassland communities显示文摘Nitrogen enrichment and land use are known to influence various ecosystems,but how these anthropogenic changes influence community and ecosystem responses to disturbance remains poorly understood.Here we investigated the effects of increased nitrogen input and mowing on the resistance and recovery of temperate semiarid grassland experiencing a three-year drought.Nitrogen addition increased grassland biomass recovery but decreased structural recovery after drought,whereas annual mowing increased grassland biomass recovery and structural recovery but reduced structural resistance to drought.The treatment effects on community biomass/structural resistance and recovery were largely modulated by the stability of the dominant species and asynchronous dynamics among species,and the community biomass resistance and recovery were also greatly driven by the stability of grasses.Community biomass resistance/recovery in response to drought was positively associated with its corresponding structural stability.Our study provides important experimental evidence that both nitrogen addition and mowing could substantially change grassland stability in both functional and structural aspects.Our findings emphasize the need to study changes across levels of ecological organization for a more complete understanding of ecosystem responses to disturbances under widespread environmental changes. | Zhuwen Xu Heyong Liu Yani Meng Jinfei Yin Haiyan Ren Mai-He Li Shan Yang Shiming Tang Yong Jiang Lin Jiang | 2023 | Science China(Life Sciences)2023，66，7： | 2 |
