As antioxidants in the stress defence systems, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are dimeric cytosolic enzymes with an important role in the pathogenesis of PD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the polymorphisms of GST genes and PD. Meta-analyses were conducted from 17 studies (38 stages) among 3419 cases and 5686 controls between four polymorphisms (GSTT1 deletion polymorphism;GSTM1 deletion polymorphism;GSTP1-104: rs1695;GSTP1-114: rs1799811) and PD. There is no significant association between the four GST gene variants and PD. A further subgroup study by ethnicity observed a risky role of GSTM1 deletion polymorphism with PD in Europeans (p = 0.013, OR = 1.126, 95% CI = 1.025-1.236), and a protective role of GSTM1 deletion polymorphism with PD in Latin Americans (p = 0.032, OR = 0.750, 95% CI = 0.577-0.975). Our meta-analysis suggested that GSTM1 deletion polymorphism increased the risk of PD in Europeans, but reduced the risk of PD in Latin Americans. Future large-scale studies might be needed to confirm the ethnic difference of GSTM1 deletion polymorphism, and to check whether there was significant association of PD for other GST genetic polymorphisms.展开更多

IL1B encodes key mediator IL-1β protein, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory syndromes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between IL1B polymorphisms and RA. A meta-analysis was performed on the association between three IL1B polymorphisms (IL1B-31: rs1143627;IL1B-511: rs16944;IL1B + 3954: rs1143634) and RA. A trend of significant association was observed between IL1B + 3954 and RA (p = 0.06, odd ratio (OR) = 1.19, 95% confidential interval (CI) = 1.00-1.42). A significant association was found in Europeans under the dominant model between IL1B-511T and RA (p = 0.03, OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.81-0.99). Our meta-analysis indicated that IL1B ? 511-T played a protective role against RA in Europeans, and that IL1B + 3954-T had the potential to increase the risk of RA. Future large-scale studies should be considered to confirm the association between IL1B polymorphisms and RA.展开更多

This renaissance has been driven in part by the discovery of a plethora of charmonium-like XYZ states at BESⅢ and B factories, and the observation of an intriguing proton-antiproton threshold enhancement and the possibly related X(1835) meson state at BESⅢ, as well as the threshold measurements of charm mesons and charm baryons. We present a detailed survey of the important topics in tau-charm physics and hadron physics that can be further explored at BESⅢ during the remaining operation period of BEPCⅡ. This survey will help in the optimization of the data-taking plan over the coming years, and provides physics motivation for the possible upgrade of BEPCⅡ to higher luminosity.展开更多

文摘Parkinson disease (PD) is a neurological disorder with huge destruction to human body, which affects approximately 2% of the population aged 65 years or older. As antioxidants in the stress defence systems, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are dimeric cytosolic enzymes with an important role in the pathogenesis of PD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the polymorphisms of GST genes and PD. Meta-analyses were conducted from 17 studies (38 stages) among 3419 cases and 5686 controls between four polymorphisms (GSTT1 deletion polymorphism;GSTM1 deletion polymorphism;GSTP1-104: rs1695;GSTP1-114: rs1799811) and PD. There is no significant association between the four GST gene variants and PD. A further subgroup study by ethnicity observed a risky role of GSTM1 deletion polymorphism with PD in Europeans (p = 0.013, OR = 1.126, 95% CI = 1.025-1.236), and a protective role of GSTM1 deletion polymorphism with PD in Latin Americans (p = 0.032, OR = 0.750, 95% CI = 0.577-0.975). Our meta-analysis suggested that GSTM1 deletion polymorphism increased the risk of PD in Europeans, but reduced the risk of PD in Latin Americans. Future large-scale studies might be needed to confirm the ethnic difference of GSTM1 deletion polymorphism, and to check whether there was significant association of PD for other GST genetic polymorphisms.

文摘There has recently been a dramatic renewal of interest in hadron spectroscopy and charm physics. This renaissance has been driven in part by the discovery of a plethora of charmonium-like XYZ states at BESⅢ and B factories, and the observation of an intriguing proton-antiproton threshold enhancement and the possibly related X(1835) meson state at BESⅢ, as well as the threshold measurements of charm mesons and charm baryons. We present a detailed survey of the important topics in tau-charm physics and hadron physics that can be further explored at BESⅢ during the remaining operation period of BEPCⅡ. This survey will help in the optimization of the data-taking plan over the coming years, and provides physics motivation for the possible upgrade of BEPCⅡ to higher luminosity.

文摘Various surface bioactivation technology has been confirmed to improve the osteogenic ability of porous titanium(pTi)implants effectively.In this study,a three-layered composite coating,i.e.outer layer of hydroxyapatite(HA),middle layer of loose titanium dioxide(L-TiO2)and inner layer of dense TiO2(D-TiO2),was fabricated on pTi by a combined processing procedure of pickling,alkali heat(AH),anodic oxidation(AO),electrochemical deposition(ED)and hydrothermal treatment(HT).After soaking in simulated body fluid for 48 h,the surface of the AHAOEDHT-treated pTi was completely covered by a homogeneous apatite layer.Using MC3T3-E1 pro-osteoblasts as cell model,the cell culture revealed that both the pTi without surface treatment and the AHAOEDHT sample could support the attachment,growth and proliferation of the cells.Compared to the pTi sample,the AHAOEDHT one induced higher expressions of osteogenesis-related genes in the cells,including alkaline phosphatase,Type I collagen,osteopontin,osteoclast inhibitor,osteocalcin and zinc finger structure transcription factor.As thus,besides the good corrosion resistance,the HA/L-TiO2/D-TiO2-coated pTi had good osteogenic activity,showing good potential in practical application for bone defect repair.

文摘The threat of potential hazardous near-Earth asteroid(PHA)impact on Earth is increasingly attracting public attention.Monitoring and early warning of those PHAs are the premise of planetary defense.In this paper,we proposed a novel concept of surveillance constellation of heterogeneous wide-field near-Earth asteroid(NEA)surveyors(CROWN),in which six spacebased surveyors are loosely deployed in Venus-like orbits to detect the NEAs along the direction of the sunlight.First,the concept and overall design of the NEA surveillance constellation are discussed.Second,the transfer and deployment trajectory of the surveyors are investigated based on the Sun-Venus three-body system.The Sun-Venus libration orbit is taken as the parking orbit,and its stable invariant manifolds are used to reduce the deployment fuel consumption.Next,the detection performance of the CROWN was evaluated considering constraints of apparent visual magnitude and field of view.The NEA orbit determination(OD)using the CROWN was studied and verified.Simulation results show that the CROWN can be deployed with a total velocity increment of approximately 300 m/s.During the 5 years of observation,99.8%of PHAs can be detected and the OD precision is better than a single-surveyor system.This paper can provide a reference for the construction of future asteroid defense system.

文摘The three lowest-lying r states,ie,r(1S),T(2S),and r(35),composed of b pairs and below the BB threshold,provide a good platform for the researches of hadronic physics and physics beyond the Standard Model.They can be produced directly in ete--colliding experiments,such as CLEO,Babar,and Belle,with low continuum backgrounds.In these experiments,many measurements of the exclusive r(1S)and r(2S)decays into light hadrons,which shed light on the"80%rule"for the Okubo-Zweig-lizuka suppressed decays in the bottomonium sector,were carried out.Meanwhile,many studies of the charmonium and bottomonium productions in r(1S,2S,3S)decays were performed,to distinguish different Quantum Chromodynamics(QCD)models.Besides,exotic states and new physics were also extensively explored in r(1S,2S,3S)decays at CLEO,BaBar,and Bell.The r(1S,2S,3S)states can also be produced in p collisions and in ollisions involving heavy ions.The precision measurements of their cross sections and polarizations at the large hadron collider(LHC),especially in the CMS,ATLAS,and LHCb experiments,help to understand r production mechanisms in Pp collisions.The observation of the sequential r suppession in heavy ion collisions at CMS,LHCb,and ALICE is of great importance for verifying the quark-gluon plasma predicted by QCD.In this article,we review the experimental results on T(1S,2S,3S)at e+e-colliders and the LHC,and summarize their prospects at Belle II and the LHC.

文摘Long-term configuration stability is essential for an interferometric detection constellation(IDC),which is closely related to initial uncertainty.Therefore,it is vital to evaluate the uncertainty and characterize the configuration stability.In this study,an analytical method was developed for the configuration uncertainty propagation of a geocentric triangular IDC.The angular momentum and the argument latitude were found to be significantly affected by the initial uncertainty and were selected as the core variables.By averaging the perturbation in one revolution,an analytical solution was proposed for propagating the core orbital elements in one revolution.Subsequently,the analytical solution of the orbit elements during the mission period is obtained by multiplying the solutions in iterative revolutions.The relationship between the selected orbital elements and the configuration stability parameters was established using an analytical solution.The effects of the initial uncertainty in different directions on the configuration and stable domains were studied.Simulations show that the developed method is highly efficient and accurate in predicting the configuration stability.The relative error with respect to the Monte Carlo simulations was less than 3%with a time consumption of 0.1%.The proposed method can potentially be useful for constellation design and stability analysis.

文摘The confirmation of gravitational waves in recent years has set off a new upsurge of exploring the extreme interactions critical to the origin and evolution of stars,galaxies,and the universe.The detection of gravitational waves in space is expected to cover the largest number and the greatest variety of gravitational wave sources,which is more compelling and valuable than the initial detection on the ground.Orbital dynamics and control are the keys to realizing the detection of gravitational waves in space.This paper reviews the orbital mechanics for space-based gravitational wave observatories.The principle and typical gravitational wave observation mission concepts are first introduced and classified summarized.Then,the orbital mechanics of the space-based gravitational wave observatories in different spatial locations are reviewed.On the basis of the characteristics of different observatories,2 groups of methods related to the observatory configuration design and optimization are summarized:the constellation configuration design and optimization method similar to the geocentric configuration and libration point configuration,the formation design and optimization method similar to heliocentric configuration.The prospects of space-based gravitational wave observatories are finally put forward,which shall provide a reference for future research on space-based gravitational wave observatories.

文摘Massive machine-type communications(mMTC)is envisioned to be one of the pivotal scenarios in the fifth-generation(5G)wireless communication,where the explosively emerging Internet-of-Things(IoT)applications have triggered the demand for services with low-latency and high-reliability.To this end,grant-free random access paradigm has been proposed as a promising enabler in simplifying the connection procedure and significantly reducing access latency.In this paper,we propose to leverage the burgeoning reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)for grant-free massive access working at millimeter-wave(mmWave)frequency to further boost access reliability.By attaching independently controllable phase shifts,reconfiguring,and refracting the propagation of incident electromagnetic waves,the deployed RISs could provide additional diversity gain and enhance the access channel conditions.On this basis,to address the challenging active device detection(ADD)and channel estimation(CE)problem,we develop a joint-ADDCE(JADDCE)method by resorting to the existing approximate message passing(AMP)algorithm with expectation maximization(EM)to extract the structured common sparsity in traffic behaviors and cascaded channel matrices.Finally,simulations are carried out to demonstrate the superiority of our proposed scheme.
