Identifying the wetlands of international importance in Beibu Gulf along the East Asian – Australasian Flyway, based on multiple citizen science datasets - Ningxin Tang; Yanju Ma; Sixin Li; Yizhu Yan; Cheng Cheng; Gang Lu; Fei Li; Liuxuan Lv; Peilin Qin; Hoai Bao Nguyen; Quang Hao Nguyen; Trong Trai Le; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The Beibu Gulf (Gulf of Tonkin, Vinh Bac Bo in Vietnamese), located midway along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), is a critical stopover and wintering region for migratory waterbirds. This transboundary coastal region, spanning between China and Vietnam, harbors diverse wetland habitats that provide refuge to waterbird species, including highly threatened species such as the spoon-billed sandpiper (CR) and the black-faced spoonbill (EN). However, the scarcity of comprehensive assessments regarding waterbird abundances, distribution, key wetland habitats, and regional threats hinders our understanding of its conservation significance at the flyway level. Further research is needed to address these knowledge gaps and facilitate effective conservation efforts in the Beibu Gulf. By synthesizing accessible citizen science datasets and published records from wetland sites in south China and northeast Vietnam, we concluded that at least 97 waterbird species used the Gulf’s wetlands during their annual cycle. Among surveys conducted from 2014 to 2022, 5 and 11 waterbird species were considered as first and second class protected species under the National Key Protected Wild Animal List in China; 2 species were listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, 4 as Endangered and 2 as Vulnerable, underlying the critical importance of the Beibu Gulf for the survival of these species. Our study identified 25 sites in the Beibu Gulf that met the criteria for designation as internationally important wetlands. Alarmingly, less than a quarter (n = 5, or 20%) of these sites benefit from national or international protection. Localized threats, including aquatic resource harvesting, hunting, and aquaculture/fisheries, were widespread in the region. This study provides a crucial scientific baseline for continued waterbird monitoring, site prioritization, and the development of effective habitat management plans to conserve vital coastal wetland habitats in the Beibu Gulf in China and Vietnam.

An Innovative Designed Velocimeter Application for Set Net Fishery - Cheng-Chang Chiu; Teh-Lu Liao; Chiung-Hsing Chen; Hsiang Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
This article is aimed at the problems encountered by the fishing ground of set nets in Taiwan when the set net operators need to work when the weather is bad at sea. We developed a velocimeter that can be placed in the ocean for a long time and change sensing directions with the flow direction. The self-designed velocimeter has advantages, such as simple operation, low cost, and easy maintenance. With wireless monitoring and an early warning system, it can monitor current velocity, flow direction, sea temperature, and displacement. The data is transmitted back to the operator through the radio transmission module as a basis for dispatching personnel to go out to sea for fishing. To prevent the set net from drifting into the open sea due to bad weather, a GPS module is used to monitor the current location of the set net. If the waves wash away the set net, the warning signal can be received the first time to prevent the floating set net from endangering the safety of ship navigation and the survival of marine life. This innovative technology aligns with SDG 14, which aims to “conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development”.

Activation of Cannabinoid Receptor 1 in GABAergic Neurons in the Rostral Anterior Insular Cortex Contributes to the Analgesia Following Common Peroneal Nerve Ligation - Ming Zhang; Cong Li; Qian Xue; Chang-Bo Lu; Huan Zhao; Fan-Cheng Meng; Ying Zhang; Sheng-Xi Wu; Yan Zhang; Hui Xu (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2023)
The rostral agranular insular cortex (RAIC) has been associated with pain modulation. Although the endogenous cannabinoid system (eCB) has been shown to regulate chronic pain, the roles of eCBs in the RAIC remain elusive under the neuropathic pain state. Neuropathic pain was induced in C57BL/6 mice by common peroneal nerve (CPN) ligation. The roles of the eCB were tested in the RAIC of ligated CPN C57BL/6J mice, glutamatergic, or GABAergic neuron cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) knockdown mice with the whole-cell patch-clamp and pain behavioral methods. The E/I ratio (amplitude ratio between mEPSCs and mIPSCs) was significantly increased in layer V pyramidal neurons of the RAIC in CPN-ligated mice. Depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition but not depolarization-induced suppression of excitation in RAIC layer V pyramidal neurons were significantly increased in CPN-ligated mice. The analgesic effect of ACEA (a CB1R agonist) was alleviated along with bilateral dorsolateral funiculus lesions, with the administration of AM251 (a CB1R antagonist), and in CB1R knockdown mice in GABAergic neurons, but not glutamatergic neurons of the RAIC. Our results suggest that CB1R activation reinforces the function of the descending pain inhibitory pathway via reducing the inhibition of glutamatergic layer V neurons by GABAergic neurons in the RAIC to induce an analgesic effect in neuropathic pain.

Acaricidal and repellent activities of ethanol extracts of nine chinese medicinal herbs against Rhipicephalus microplus (Acari: Ixodidae) - Donglinag Li; Shunli Lu; Yichen Jian; Shuqi Cheng; Qianming Zhao; Huizhen Yuan; Nanhao Wang; Yufeng Liu; Sumei Zhang; Longxian Zhang; Rongjun Wang; Fuchun Jian (Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2023)
Rhipicephalus microplus is a major threat to the cattle industry worldwide. The intensive use of acaricides and repellents has resulted in drug resistance. Hence, effective and eco-friendly pest control alternatives are urgently needed, especially from natural plant resources. In this study, the acaricidal and repellent activities of nine herbs against the larvae and eggs of R. microplus were evaluated. The results showed that ethanol extracts of star anise ( Illicium verum ), chaulmoogra ( Hydnocarpus anthelmintica ), motherwart ( Leonurus artemisia ), mandarin orange peel (citri reticulatae pericarpium, i.e., peel of Citrus reticulata fruit), and stemona ( Stemona sessilifolia ) had good contact acaricidal activities of 100, 98, 94, 88 and 86%, respectively, whereas star anise and clove ( Syzygium aromaticum ) had good fumigant acaricidal activities of 98 and 96%, respectively. The hatching inhibition rate of star anise against R. microplus eggs was 100%. All nine herbs had good real-time repellent rates, but only castor bean and star anise had repellent effects after 48 h (81.3 and 79.6%, respectively). This is the first report of the acaricidal and repellent activities of these medicinal herbs against R. microplus . Ethanol extracts of these herbs might be considered as potential alternatives to chemical acaricides for control of R . microplus .

Understanding the extremely wet autumn over West China in 2017 from intraseasonal oscillation perspective - Quanling Guo; Lu Wang; Jing Ma; Ming Sun; Yifeng Cheng; Xuan Zhou (International Journal of Climatology, 2023)
West China experienced an extremely wet autumn in 2017, and the amount of September–October precipitation is the greatest during 1961–2018. This study explored the physical processes responsible for two primary intraseasonal precipitation events which contribute greatly to such an extremely wet season. The first event peaking in early September is induced by the southward movement of a frontal system from the northern China, which is attributed to the southward displacement of an intraseasonal anticyclonic anomaly. The northerly anomaly associated with the anticyclone advects cold air into West China and thus triggers frontal precipitation. The second event peaking in early October is related to the northward shift and intensification of an intraseasonal anticyclonic anomaly centred over the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The southerly anomaly along the western flank of the anticyclone transports moisture to West China and thus triggers precipitation. The different initiation processes for the two precipitation events may be due to the distinct dynamical and thermal‐dynamical conditions in September and October. West China has sufficient moisture but less dynamical disturbances in September, while it has adequate dynamical disturbances but less moisture in October.

On four epibiotic peritrichous ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora) found in Lake Weishan Wetland: morphological and molecular data support the establishment of a new genus, Parapiosoma gen. nov., and two new species - Tong Wu; Ting Cheng; Xiao Cao; Yaohan Jiang; Khaled A. S. Al-Rasheid; Alan Warren; Zhe Wang; Borong Lu (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2023)
During a study on the diversity of ciliated protists in Lake Weishan Wetland, the largest wetland in northern China, four epibiotic sessilid peritrichs were isolated from aquatic host animals. Two of them, i.e., Epistylis cambari Kellicott, 1885 and Epistylis lwoffi Fauré-Fremiet, 1943, were known species whereas the other two, i.e., Parapiosoma typicum gen. nov., sp. nov. and Orborhabdostyla gracilis sp. nov., are new to science. The new genus Parapiosoma gen. nov. is characterized by its branched non-contractile stalk, everted peristomial lip, obconical macronucleus and transverse silverlines. Two species are assigned to the new genus, namely Parapiosoma typicum sp. nov. and Parapiosoma gasterostei (Fauré-Fremiet, 1905) comb. nov. Morphologically, P. typicum sp. nov. is recognized by its goblet-shaped zooids, single-layered peristomial lip, dichotomously branched stalk, and infundibular polykinety 3 (P3) containing three equal-length rows. Orborhabdostyla gracilis sp. nov. is characterized by its slender zooid, curved macronucleus, and three equal-length rows in infundibular P3. Improved diagnoses and redescriptions of E. cambari and E. lwoffi are provided including, for the first time, data on the ciliature of E. cambari . Phylogenetic analyses based on SSU rDNA, ITS1-5.8S rDNA -ITS2, and LSU rDNA sequence data strongly support the assertion that the family Epistylididae comprises morphospecies with different evolutionary lineages and indicate that Parapiosoma gen. nov. may represent a new taxon at family level.

Quantification of Gaseous and Particulate Emission Factors from a Cargo Ship on the Huangpu River - Hanyu Wang; Qingyao Hu; Cheng Huang; Kaifa Lu; Hongdi He; Zhonren Peng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Exhaust emissions from ships have garnered significant attention because of their impact on global climate change, deterioration of air quality, and potential risks to human health. Consequently, it is necessary and urgent to quantify the gaseous and particulate emission factors (EFs) of ships in a local area. In order to supplement native EF profile data, an inland cargo ship in China was selected for measuring gaseous and particle pollutants under real-world operation modes. The fuel-based EFs of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons (THC) were 2965–3144 g/kg, 8.04–83.53 g/kg, 64.51–126.20 g/kg, and 3.90–23.35 g/kg, respectively. The maximum values of CO EF and THC EF were achieved under idling mode, which were 10.4 and 5.3 times those observed under cruising (500 rpm) mode, as extremely poor engine loads under idling mode can result in low temperature, low pressure, and uneven mixture of air and fuel. Organic carbon and element carbon were identified as the most abundant compositions of particulate matter (PM). Ions and elements were primarily dominated by SO42− and S, which can be attributed to the utilization of fuels with high sulfur content. Additionally, hopanes (dominated by 17α(H),21β(H)-Hopane and 17α(H),21β(H)-29-Norhopane) and fatty acids (dominated by n-Hexadecanoic acid and n-Octadecanoic acid) have the potential to serve as tracers for ship exhaust emissions. Pyrene and fluoranthene, two EPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were identified as the major constituents of PAHs and accounted for 50% of total PAHs. This finding also provides an explanation for the significant contribution of four-ring PAHs to the total PAHs mass.

MiR-425-5p suppression of Crebzf regulates oocyte aging via chromatin modification - Kadiliya Jueraitetibaike; Ting Tang; Rujun Ma; Shanmeizi Zhao; Ronghua Wu; Yang Yang; Xuan Huang; Xi Cheng; Cheng Zhou; Hong Zhang; Lu Zheng; Xie Ge; et al. (GeroScience, 2023)
Female infertility due to declining oocyte quality with age remains a significant challenge for patients and physicians, despite extensive research efforts. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs), which respond to various stressors in the aging process, may provide a promising solution. With the approval of small RNA drugs for clinical use, miRNA-based treatment of oocyte aging appears to be a viable option. Through high-throughput sequencing, miR-425-5p was identified as the only miRNA elevated under natural aging and oxidative stress. Microinjection of inhibitors to inhibit miR-425-5p effectively improved compromised phenotypes of old oocytes in vitro. Further investigation revealed that Crebzf acts as a mediator of miR-425-5p 's age-related functions in old oocytes. In vivo treatment with miR-425-5p antagomirs significantly improved impaired oocyte development in reproductively old females by targeting Crebzf . Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that Crebzf plays a vital role in regulating mRNAs targeting histone H3, trimethylated lysine 4 (H3K4me3), a crucial marker for transcriptional silencing. Overexpression of miR-425-5p could hinder oocyte maturation by downregulating Crebzf expression and disrupting transcriptional regulation. Our findings provide new insights into the potential of miR-425-5p antagomirs as a treatment for female infertility and highlight an elegant mechanism by which miR-425-5p inhibition of Crebzf inhibits a developmental switch in GV oocytes by regulating a group of histone methyltransferase mRNAs.

Assessing Carbon Abatement Costs Considering Forest Carbon Sequestration and Carbon Offset Mechanism: Evidence from Taiwan - Wan-Yu Liu; Yi-Hsin Lu; Chun-Cheng Lin (Forest Science, 2023)
Based on the Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act passed in 2015 and the carbon neutral target in 2050, Taiwan will most likely follow international trends by imposing carbon taxes and establishing carbon offset markets. The positive and negative effects of carbon taxes and carbon offset markets on the economy and the environment merit further investigation. Accordingly, this study adopted a carbon emission reduction (CER) cost prediction model to assess the carbon abatement costs under three scenarios: (1) a carbon offset market exists, and forest carbon sequestration can be used as carbon offsets; (2) a carbon offset market exists, but forest carbon sequestration cannot be used as carbon offsets; and (3) a carbon offset market does not exist. Forests in Taipei (with low carbon emissions) and Kaohsiung (with high carbon emissions) were selected as research sites to explore the benefits of carbon emissions trading and forest carbon sequestration. The results show that CER costs are the lowest in scenario 1 and are the highest in scenario 3. The CER costs of Kaohsiung are higher than those of Taipei. The higher the carbon price, the greater the difference in CER costs between the two cities. Study Implications: The objective of this study was to identify the optimal policy for Taiwan to effectively slow climate change. This study showed that the opening of carbon offset markets and the use of forest carbon sequestration as carbon offsets may prompt regions to increase their forest stock to lower their emission reduction costs. However, achieving 2050 carbon neutral target by solely using forest carbon sequestration is not sufficient in Taiwan.

Recent Progress in Atmospheric Chemistry Research in China: Establishing a Theoretical Framework for the “Air Pollution Complex” - Tong Zhu; Mingjin Tang; Meng Gao; Xinhui Bi; Junji Cao; Huizheng Che; Jianmin Chen; Aijun Ding; Pingqing Fu; Jian Gao; Yang Gao; Maofa Ge; et al. (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2023)
Atmospheric chemistry research has been growing rapidly in China in the last 25 years since the concept of the “air pollution complex” was first proposed by Professor Xiaoyan TANG in 1997. For papers published in 2021 on air pollution (only papers included in the Web of Science Core Collection database were considered), more than 24 000 papers were authored or co-authored by scientists working in China. In this paper, we review a limited number of representative and significant studies on atmospheric chemistry in China in the last few years, including studies on (1) sources and emission inventories, (2) atmospheric chemical processes, (3) interactions of air pollution with meteorology, weather and climate, (4) interactions between the biosphere and atmosphere, and (5) data assimilation. The intention was not to provide a complete review of all progress made in the last few years, but rather to serve as a starting point for learning more about atmospheric chemistry research in China. The advances reviewed in this paper have enabled a theoretical framework for the air pollution complex to be established, provided robust scientific support to highly successful air pollution control policies in China, and created great opportunities in education, training, and career development for many graduate students and young scientists. This paper further highlights that developing and low-income countries that are heavily affected by air pollution can benefit from these research advances, whilst at the same time acknowledging that many challenges and opportunities still remain in atmospheric chemistry research in China, to hopefully be addressed over the next few decades.

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a complex disease that affects billions of people worldwide. Currently, effective etiological treatment of COVID-19 is still lacking; COVID-19 also causes damages to various organs that affects therapeutics and mortality of the patients. Surveillance of the treatment responses and organ injury assessment of COVID-19 patients are of high clinical value. In this study, we investigated the characteristic fragmentation patterns and explored the potential in tissue injury assessment of plasma cell-free DNA in COVID-19 patients. Through recruitment of 37 COVID-19 patients, 32 controls and analysis of 208 blood samples upon diagnosis and during treatment, we report gross abnormalities in cfDNA of COVID-19 patients, including elevated GC content, altered molecule size and end motif patterns. More importantly, such cfDNA fragmentation characteristics reflect patient-specific physiological changes during treatment. Further analysis on cfDNA tissue-of-origin tracing reveals frequent tissue injuries in COVID-19 patients, which is supported by clinical diagnoses. Hence, our work demonstrates and extends the translational merit of cfDNA fragmentation pattern as valuable analyte for effective treatment monitoring, as well as tissue injury assessment in COVID-19.

miR ‐124 mediates the expression of ccBax to regulate Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 ( CyHV ‐2)‐induced apoptosis and viral replication - Yan Fu; Junzhe Zhang; Wenjie Cheng; Xingyu Cheng; Liqun Lu; Lang Gui; Yousheng Jiang; Ye Zhang; Dan Xu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2023)
Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV‐2), the etiological agent of herpesvirus haematopoietic necrosis (HVHN) in carp and goldfish, has caused significant economic losses in the aquaculture industry. During viral infection, the host initiates a series of active or passive defences to regulate the process of virus infection. Apoptosis is a key component of active cellular defence, and members of the Bcl‐2 family have been shown to play a critical role in the apoptotic process. However, the mechanism of action of the Bcl‐2 family in inducing apoptosis during CyHV‐2 infection remains unclear. In this study, we revealed the molecular mechanism of miRNA‐mediated silver crucian carp BAX (ccBax) in CyHV‐2‐induced apoptosis for the first time and demonstrated that the overexpression of miR‐124 suppressed ccBax expression and significantly down‐regulated apoptosis in caudal fin cells of Carassius auratus gibelio (GiCF), while miR‐124 inhibitors were the opposite. These studies indicated that miR‐124 inhibits CyHV‐2‐induced apoptosis by reducing the expression of ccBax. Furthermore, the fact that transfection of miR‐124 mimics promoted CyHV‐2 replication, whereas miR‐124 inhibitors inhibited CyHV‐2 replication, indicated that miR‐124 inhibited CyHV‐2‐induced apoptosis and contributed to viral replication. All these results suggested that miR‐124 suppresses virus‐induced apoptosis and promotes viral replication by targeting and regulating ccBax expression.

Ndufa4 Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Neurons via miR-145a-5p/Homer1/Ccnd2 - Fang Fu; Chen Chen; Kun Du; Lu-shan Li; Ru Li; Ting-ying Lei; Qiong Deng; Dan Wang; Qiu-xia Yu; Xin Yang; Jin Han; Min Pan; et al. (Molecular Neurobiology, 2023)
The Dandy–Walker malformation (DWM) is characterized by neuron dysregulation in embryonic development; however, the regulatory mechanisms associated with it are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of NADH dehydrogenase 1 alpha subcomplex 4 (NDUFA4) in regulating downstream signaling cascades and neuronal proliferation and apoptosis. Ndufa4 overexpression promoted the proliferation of neurons and inhibited their apoptosis in vitro, which underwent reverse regulation by the Ndufa4 short hairpin RNAs. Ndufa4 -knockout (KO) mice showed abnormal histological alterations in the brain tissue, in addition to impaired spatial learning capacity and exploratory activity. Ndufa4 depletion altered the microRNA expressional profiles of the cerebellum: Ndufa4 inhibited miR-145a-5p expression both in the cerebellum and neurons. miR-145a-5p inhibited the proliferation of neurons and promoted their apoptosis. Ndufa4 promoted and miR-145a-5p inhibited the expression of human homer protein homolog 1 and cyclin D2 in neurons. Thus, Ndufa4 promotes the proliferation of neurons and inhibits their apoptosis by inhibiting miR-145a-5p, which directly targets and inhibits the untranslated regions of Homer1 and Ccnd2 expression.

LncRNA PVT1 influences breast cancer cells glycolysis through sponging miR-145-5p - Huan Qu; Xingxing Li; Fei Chen; Min Zhang; Xun Lu; Yun Gu; Mingming Lv; Cheng Lu (Genes & Genomics, 2023)
Background Long-non-coding RNA PVT1 (lncRNA PVT1) can be used as an oncogenic regulatory non-coding RNA (ncRNA) for many cancers. However, its function and mechanism in breast cancer (BRCA) are still not clearly elucidated. Objective We attempt to explain the mechanism of PVT1’s role in breast cancer from different perspectives. Methods We analyzed the expression of PVT1 and its correlation with the breast cancer related clinical data in the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We used PVT1 overexpression and knockdown lentivirus to infect breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell line for cell function verification, in vitro using CCK-8 to measure proliferation, flow cytometry to measure apoptosis, transwell test to measure invasion and migration ability, detecting cell extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) to assess glycolysis metabolism and explore the biological functions of PVT1 in breast cancer cells. Transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze the changes of related genes in cells after overexpression of PVT1. In vivo we used a xenograft model to study the effect of PVT1 on breast cancer. Results PVT1 was up-regulated in breast cancer tissues and was positively correlated with the clinical stage of breast cancer patients. Overexpression of PVT1 in vitro promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted tumor growth in vivo. Knockdown of PVT1 led to the opposite biological consequence. Further bioinformatics analysis showed that PVT1 changes the glycolysis metabolism of tumors through regulation of glycolysis-related genes. In addition, the expression of miR-145-5p is negatively correlated with PVT1. We consider the possibility of PVT1 promoting cell proliferation and metastasis by regulating the aerobic glucose metabolism in breast cancer cells through sponging the miR-145-5p. Conclusion Our results reveal a potential pathway for competing endogenous RNA to regulate breast cancer glucose metabolism. PVT1 regulates glycolysis related genes expression by competitively binding to endogenous miR-145-5p in breast cancer cells to change the metabolic phenotype. This may Provide new ideas for precise molecular therapy targets for breast cancer.

Loss of GLTSCR1 causes congenital heart defects by regulating NPPA transcription - Fengyan Han; Beibei Yang; Yan Chen; Lu Liu; Xiaoqing Cheng; Jiaqi Huang; Ke Zhou; Dandan Zhang; Enping Xu; Maode Lai; Bingjian Lv; Hongqiang Cheng; et al. (Angiogenesis, 2023)
Precise and specific spatiotemporal domains of gene expression regulation are critical for embryonic development. Recent studies have identified GLTSCR1 as a gene transcriptional elongation regulator in cancer research. However, the function of GLTSCR1, especially in embryonic development, remains poorly understood. Here, we found that GLTSCR1 was essential for cardiac development because Gltscr1 knockout (Gltscr1 −/− ) led to embryonic lethality in mice with severe congenital heart defects (CHDs). Ventricular septal defect and double outflow right ventricular were also observed in neural crest cells with conditional deletion of Gltscr1, which were associated with neonatal lethality in mice. Mechanistically, GLTSCR1 deletion promoted NPPA expression by coordinating the CHD risk G allele of rs56153133 in the NPPA enhancer and releasing the transcription factor ZNF740-binding site on the NPPA promoter. These findings demonstrated that GLTSCR1 acts as a candidate CHD-related gene.

Genomic architecture underlying morphological and physiological adaptation to high elevation in a songbird - Chia‐Wei Lu; Shih‐Ting Huang; Shun‐Jen Cheng; Chen‐Tau Lin; Yu‐Cheng Hsu; Cheng‐Te Yao; Feng Dong; Chih‐Ming Hung; Hao‐Chih Kuo (Molecular Ecology, 2023)
Organisms often acquire physiological and morphological modifications to conquer ecological challenges when colonizing new environments which lead to their adaptive evolution. However, deciphering the genomic mechanism of ecological adaptation is difficult because ecological environments are often too complex for straightforward interpretation. Thus, we examined the adaptation of a widespread songbird—the rufous‐capped babbler ( Cyanoderma ruficeps )—to a relatively simple system: distinct environments across elevational gradients on the mountainous island of Taiwan. We focused on the genomic sequences of 43 birds from five populations to show that the Taiwan group split from its sister group in mainland China around 1–2 million years ago (Ma) and colonized the montane habitats of Taiwan at least twice around 0.03–0.22 Ma. The montane and lowland Taiwan populations diverged with gene flow between them, suggesting strong selection associated with different elevations. We found that the montane babblers had smaller beaks than the lowland ones, consistent with Allen's rule, and identified candidate genes— COL9A1 and SOX11 —underlying the beak size changes. We also found that altitudinally divergent mutations were mostly located in noncoding regions and tended to accumulate in chromosomal inversions and autosomes. The altitudinally divergent mutations might regulate genes related to haematopoietic, metabolic, immune, auditory and vision functions, as well as cerebrum morphology and plumage development. The results reveal the genomic bases of morphological and physiological adaptation in this species to the low temperature, hypoxia and high UV light environment at high elevation. These findings improve our understanding of how ecological adaptation drives population divergence from the perspective of genomic architecture.

Seasonal pollution and surface characteristics of microplastics in surface water in the Wanzhou section of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China - Ying He; Qian Huang; Qilong Wang; Mingfeng Tang; Xiaoyu Lu; Fei Cheng; Guosheng Xiao (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023)
The pollution of freshwater environments with microplastics (MPs) has attracted increasing attention owing to their threats to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Here, we sampled and analyzed MPs from mainstream, tributary, and backwater areas in the Wanzhou section of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in impoundment and flood periods. Microplastic pollution was the most severe in the backwater areas. The average abundance of MPs reached the highest value in the flood period (5.27±3.47×10 7 items km −2 ), which was 3–5 times that in the impoundment period. In the 0.3–5 mm size class, the 1–5 mm fraction was the most abundant, accounting for more than 81% in the flood period and 68% of the total MP particle abundance in the impoundment period in the mainstream and backwater areas. However, 0.3–1 mm MPs contributed more than 50% in the tributaries during the impoundment period. Polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyethylene MPs were detected in foam, fragment, sheet, and line-shaped MP particles. White, opaque, foamed polystyrene MPs contributed 32–81% to total MP particle abundance in the watershed. Microplastic particle surfaces showed signs of damage and oxidation, and ten different elements were found. Oxygen was clustered on the surface of foam and fragment MPs. Microplastic pollution was severe in the Wanzhou watershed. Especially in the backwater areas, oxidized MPs of variable shapes derived mainly from surface runoff in the flood period and sewage discharge in the impoundment period were abundant. The results of this study contribute to understanding seasonal pollution patterns and surface characteristics of MPs in the TGR and similar watersheds.

Fusion2Fusion: An Infrared–Visible Image Fusion Algorithm for Surface Water Environments - Cheng Lu; Hongde Qin; Zhongchao Deng; Zhongben Zhu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Infrared images can rely on the thermal radiation of objects for imaging, independent of lighting conditions. Furthermore, because the thermal radiation produced by targets such as people, vehicles, and boats differs greatly from the background, it is able to distinguish objects from their environment as well. These characteristics of infrared can be complemented with visible images, which are rich in color information but vulnerable to lighting conditions. Therefore, the fusion of IR and visible images can provide a better perception of the environment. In this paper, we propose a new infrared–visible fusion algorithm. It consists of three parts: feature extraction, fusion, and reconstruction. The attention mechanism is introduced into the feature extraction to better extract features and we propose a new way of describing the fusion task. The relationship between the two inputs is balanced by introducing a fused image obtained by summing the infrared and visible images. It is also optimized for sky layering and water surface ripples, which are common in water environments. The edge information is enhanced in the loss function and noise reduction is performed. Through comparison experiments, our algorithm achieves better results.

Harmonizing Biopredictive Methodologies Through the Product Quality Research Institute (PQRI) Part I: Biopredictive Dissolution of Ibuprofen and Dipyridamole Tablets - Yasuhiro Tsume; Lee Ashworth; Marival Bermejo; Joan Cheng; Vincent Cicale; Jennifer Dressman; Masahiro Fushimi; Isabel Gonzalez-Alvarez; Yiwang Guo; Corinne Jankovsky; Xujin Lu; Kazuki Matsui; et al. (The AAPS Journal, 2023)
Assessing in vivo performance to inform formulation selection and development decisions is an important aspect of drug development. Biopredictive dissolution methodologies for oral dosage forms have been developed to understand in vivo performance, assist in formulation development/optimization, and forecast the outcome of bioequivalence studies by combining them with simulation tools to predict plasma profiles in humans. However, unlike compendial dissolution methodologies, the various biopredictive methodologies have not yet been harmonized or standardized. This manuscript presents the initial phases of an effort to develop best practices and move toward standardization of the biopredictive methodologies through the Product Quality Research Institute (PQRI, https://pqri.org ) entitled “The standardization of in vitro predictive dissolution methodologies and in silico bioequivalence study Working Group.” This Working Group (WG) is comprised of participants from 10 pharmaceutical companies and academic institutes. The project will be accomplished in a total of five phases including assessing the performance of dissolution protocols designed by the individual WG members, and then building “best practice” protocols based on the initial dissolution profiles. After refining the “best practice” protocols to produce equivalent dissolution profiles, those will be combined with physiologically based biopharmaceutics models (PBBM) to predict plasma profiles. In this manuscript, the first two of the five phases are reported, namely generating biopredictive dissolution profiles for ibuprofen and dipyridamole and using those dissolution profiles with PBBM to match the clinical plasma profiles. Key experimental parameters are identified, and this knowledge will be applied to build the “best practice” protocol in the next phase. Graphical Abstract
