In silico identification of A1 agonists and A2a inhibitors in pain based on molecular docking strategies and dynamics simulations - Guangya Xu; Shutao Zhang; Lulu Zheng; Zhongjiao Hu; Lijia Cheng; Lvlin Chen; Jun Li; Zheng Shi (Purinergic Signalling, 2023)
Most recently, the adenosine is considered as one of the most promising targets for treating pain, with few side effects. It exists in the central nervous system, and plays a key role in nociceptive afferent pathway. It is reported that the A1 receptor (A1R) could inhibit Ca 2+ channels to reduce the pain like analgesic mechanism of morphine. And, A2a receptor (A2aR) was reported to enhance the accumulation of AMP (cAMP) and released peptides from sensory neurons, resulting in constitutive activation of pain. Much evidence showed that A1R and A2aR could be served as the interesting targets for the treatment of pain. Herein, virtual screening was utilized to identify the small molecule compounds towards A1R and A2aR, and top six molecules were considered as candidates via amber scores. The molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and molecular mechanics/generalized born surface area (MM/GBSA) were employed to further analyze the affinity and binding stability of the six molecules towards A1R and A2aR. Moreover, energy decomposition analysis showed significant residues in A1R and A2aR, including His1383, Phe1276, and Glu1277. It provided basics for discovery of novel agonists and antagonists. Finally, the agonists of A1R (ZINC19943625, ZINC13555217, and ZINC04698406) and inhibitors of A2aR (ZINC19370372, ZINC20176051, and ZINC57263068) were successfully recognized. Taken together, our discovered small molecules may serve as the promising candidate agents for future pain research.

Distribution and physical–biological controls of dimethylsulfide in the western tropical Indian Ocean during winter monsoon - Shi-Mei Liang; Xing Zhai; Cheng-Xuan Li; Ming Xin; Ping Sun; Xuan-Li Liu; Lin Liu; Bao-Dong Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
New field observation on distribution, turnover, and sea–air flux of three dimethylated sulfur compounds (dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate, and dimethylsulfoxide) in the western tropical Indian Ocean (WTIO; 4°N–10°S, 61°–65°E) were conducted under the major Global Change and Air–Sea Interaction Program during the 2021/2022 Northeast Monsoon (December 21, 2021 to January 11, 2022). Significantly high surface concentrations of DMS were identified in the region of the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR; 5°–10°S). This occurred because the shallow thermocline/nitracline and associated upwelling fueled biological production of DMS in the subsurface, which was brought to the surface through vertical mixing. The calculated sea–air DMS flux was also significantly strong in the SCTR region during the Northeast Monsoon owing to combination of high wind speed and high surface concentration of DMS. This finding is similar to results obtained previously during the Southwest Monsoon, suggesting that the SCTR region is an area of active DMS emission during both the Northeast Monsoon and the Southwest Monsoon. Microbial consumption was the dominant pathway of DMS removal, accounting for 74.4% of the total, whereas the processes of photolysis (17.7%) and ventilation (7.9%) were less important. Future work should be undertaken in the WTIO to establish how DMS emission is linked to aerosol properties and climate change.

Transcriptome Analysis of the Immune Process of Golden Pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) Infected with Streptococcus agalactiae - Jie Gao; Hua-Yang Guo; Ming-Jian Liu; Ke-Cheng Zhu; Bo Liu; Bao-Suo Liu; Nan Zhang; Shi-Gui Jiang; Dian-Chang Zhang (Fishes, 2023)
The golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) is one of the most economically valuable marine fishes in South China. Streptococcus agalactiae, an infectious Gram-positive bacterium that is highly destructive for golden pompano culture, has recently caused massive losses to the golden pompano industry. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic immune response of golden pompano to S. agalactiae infection, using RNA-seq analysis at two different time points after infection. Abundances of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) gradually increased in the liver and spleen 48–120 h post-infection, whereas those in the head kidney were lower at 120 h than at 48 h. Pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs revealed that genes related to the complement system were continuously transcribed between 48 and 120 h. Metabolic and immune-regulation-related pathways were highly enriched in the liver 48 h after infection. Transcriptome analysis was verified using quantitative PCR for eight genes with similar expression trends. This study revealed the inflammatory response of golden pompano after S. agalactiae infection, including inflammation-related chemokines and signaling pathways. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for studying S. agalactiae resistance in golden pompano and provide a reliable resource for the genetic breeding of fish.

Black soldier fly larvae replace traditional iced trash fish diet to enhance the delicious flavor of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) - Jian-Feng Qiu; Cheng Luo; Li-Hua Ren; Wei Li; Tai-Ming Dai; Guang Wang; Xiao-Ning Sun; Kou-Chang Chong Moua; Yang-Hu Sima; Shi-Qing Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Chinese mitten crabs ( Eriocheir sinensis ) are traditionally fed iced trash fish, but the industry is facing problems such as low breeding safety. Black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens ) is an alternative protein source in animal diets, including diets for aquatic animals, due to its high nutritional value. However, studies on the effects of black soldier fly on the flavor characteristics of aquatic animals are still limited. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the complete replacement of iced trash fish with black soldier fly larvae during the fattening period of Chinese mitten crab on the flavor molecule contents and evaluation indices. The levels of free amino acids and nucleotides were determined in three edible parts (muscle, hepatopancreas, and gonads) of crab. Taste activity value analysis showed that glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, and arginine were the main amino acids contributing to the umami taste and sweetness, while histidine, lysine, valine, and methionine were the main amino acids contributing to the bitterness. Equivalent umami concentration (EUC) analysis showed that female gonads had the strongest umami taste, followed by the hepatopancreas and muscle. Sweetness value (SWT) analysis showed that the sweetness of muscle was the highest. Feeding black soldier fly larvae affected the flavor characteristics of crabs with tissue and sex differences. The EUC of the female gonads and SWT of the muscle were significantly increased. Meanwhile, the EUC of the hepatopancreas and SWT of the gonads were slightly decreased in male crabs. Our results indicate that the complete replacement of iced trash fish with black soldier fly larvae during the fattening period significantly enhances the flavor characteristics of crabs based on the contents of flavoring amino acids and nucleotides. It is important for sustainable aquaculture to replace animal protein with alternative protein sources such as black soldier fly larvae.

Numerical Simulation of the Maneuvering Motion Wake of an Underwater Vehicle in Stratified Fluid - Chang Shi; Xide Cheng; Zuyuan Liu; Kunyu Han; Penghui Liu; Long Jiang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
When a vehicle moves underwater, disturbance is generated and a wake remains that destroys the original free surface and produces a new wake. In order to study the mechanism and characteristics of the wave-making wake generated by the maneuvering motion of an underwater vehicle in density-stratified fluid, the k-ε model and the VOF method that is based on the RANS equation were used in this paper to analyze the SUBOFF model in stratified fluid at different drift angles. Numerical simulation of the maneuvering motion was carried out under these angles, and the corresponding changes in flow field caused by this motion were analyzed. The results from the comparison and analysis of the surface wave wakes under different drift angles in stratified fluid show that with the increasing drift angle, the motion wake of the vehicle still exhibits obvious Kelvin wave system characteristics. However, there are significant changes in hydrodynamic performance. The asymmetry of the surrounding flow field will increase with the increase in the drift angle. The pressure of the underwater vehicle is inversely proportional to the velocity of the surrounding flow field, and the amplitude of the peak and trough of the free surface wave is linearly related to the change in the drift angle. The numerical simulation can serve as a reference for the non-acoustic detection of the motion heading of an underwater vehicle and the motion trajectory of anti-reconnaissance underwater vehicles under actual sea conditions.

High temperature induced metabolic reprogramming and lipid remodeling in a high-altitude fish species, Triplophysa bleekeri - Dengyue Yuan; Haoyu Wang; Xiaoqin Liu; Siya Wang; Jinfeng Shi; Xinkai Cheng; Haoran Gu; Shijun Xiao; Zhijian Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The effect of thermal changes on the physiology and behavior of fish is a major research focus in the face of ongoing global warming. There is little information about the effects of temperature increase on fish in the wild. However, the consequences of temperature increase on fish in controlled laboratory conditions can provide insights into what can be expected in the wild. Triplophysa bleekeri , a high-plateau fish, exhibits high sensitivity to high temperatures, suggesting it to be a good model to investigate the impact of temperature increase on fish. In this study, we analyzed the effect of gradual temperature increase on transcriptional and metabolic levels of T. bleekeri subjected to a gradual temperature change of 0.5°C/day until temperatures of 10°C, 13°C, 16°C, and 19°C were reached. Transcriptomics results of the liver, gut, spleen, and trunk kidney showed that metabolic pathways are widely involved in the response to increased temperatures in T. bleekeri . Lipidomics results further indicated that the lipid composition was altered by increased temperatures, and three lipids (PC 14:0e/22:1, PC 18:0e/22:5, and TAG 14:3-21:2-21:2) were identified as potential biomarkers of heat stress in T. bleekeri . Moreover, a decline in unsaturated fatty acid levels was observed in T. bleekeri under high temperatures. These results suggest that high temperatures modify the metabolomic pathways. Overall, our results help improve the understanding of physiological responses in fish to increased temperatures, and provide valuable information predicting the consequences of global warming on fish.

The Preliminary Investigation of Communication Characteristics Using Evaporation Duct across the Taiwan Strait - Cheng Yang; Yafei Shi; Jian Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Affected by the Taiwan Strait Warm Current, the evaporation intensity around the Taiwan Strait is significantly higher than in other southern and eastern coastal areas of China. To explore a new and effective method for maritime communication across the Taiwan Strait, we present a preliminary investigation of wireless microwave transmission in an evaporation duct. From 9 to 14 o’clock, the percentage of the evaporation duct height exceeding 10 m reached over 90% in 2020. With the favorable channel in this period, a “straight-through propagation channel” emerged, with a serviceable ratio of 99.00% at a 300 km transmission range. The high-quality transmission with BPSK modulation occurred 98.90% of the year from 12 to 13 o’clock, with 89.89% of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) exceeding 90 dB. Based on the effective use of the evaporation duct, the proposed method can provide favorable support for maritime applications across the Taiwan Strait.

Nutritional Components, Biochemical Characteristics, Enzyme Activities, and Growth Differences of Five Freshwater Fish Species? - Xiaona Jiang; Yan Li; Jingwen Tian; Chitao Li; Yanlong Ge; Xuesong Hu; Lei Cheng; Xiaodan Shi; Lianyu Shi; Zhiying Jia (Fishes, 2022)
Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is an economically important fish worldwide, with many of its species bred for consumption. However, there are few reports on the comprehensive comparative analysis of the muscle nutritional quality and stress resistance characteristics of different common carp species. In this study, after 15 months of feeding in the same environment, the nutritional components, serum biochemical indices, liver antioxidant and intestinal digestive enzyme activities, and muscle growth-related gene expression were determined in Songpu mirror carp (SPM; Cyprinus carpio Songpumirror), Heilongjiang wild carp (HLJ; Cyprinus carpio haematopirus), cold-resistant strain of purse red carp (CPR; Cyprinus carpio ‘Red purse cold-resistant’), Songhe carp (SH; Cyprinus carpio ‘Songhe’), and Songpu carp (SP; Cyprinus carpio Songpu). Muscle nutrient composition showed that HLJ had a significantly lower crude fat content and higher docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) + eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) proportion than the other four common carp species (p

Horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of sediment microbial community in Site F cold seep, the South China Sea - Xinyi Zhai; Xiaochong Shi; Haojin Cheng; Peng Yao; Bin Zhao; Lin Chen; Jiwen Liu; Lei Cao; Minxiao Wang; Lulu Fu; Xiao-Hua Zhang; Min Yu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Site F is the most vigorous cold seep known on the continental slope of the northern South China Sea. Up to now, the microbial community structures in sediments of Site F based on the high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes have been studied extensively. However, few studies investigated the microbial community structures at fine vertical scales of Site F and control stations outside Site F. In this study, a comprehensive investigation of microbial communities in sediments of Site F along the depths varying from 0 to 24 cm below sea floor (cmbsf) of four sampling sites—SRS (Southern Reduced Sediment), NRS (Northern Reduced Sediment), Control 1 (close to Site F), and Control 2 (far from Site F)—was carried out. The high relative abundances of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME), Desulfobacterota [sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)], and Campylobacteria [sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB)] in SRS and NRS indicated that these two sites were newborn cold seep sites compared with non-seep sites, Control 1, and Control 2. A positive correlation between ANME-1b, ANME-2, and SEEP-SRB and an enrichment of Sulfurovum and Methlomonadaceae were found in the surface sediments of both SRS and NRS, indicating that the processes of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), sulfur oxidation, and sulfate reduction might occur in seep sites. SRS was enriched with ANME-1b and SEEP-SRB2 with a proposed sulfate-methane transition zone (SMTZ) approximately located at 8 cmbsf. The high abundance of ANME in SRS may due to the high concentration of methane. NRS was enriched with ANME-2, Desulfatiglans , Sulfurovum , and Methanosarcinaceae with a proposed SMTZ at about 10 cmbsf. According to the analyses of microbial community structure and environmental factors, NRS could be described as a notable cold seep reduced sediment site with low sulfate and high H 2 S that nourished abundant SEEP-SRB1, ANME-2, Methanosarcinales , and Sulfurovum , which showed similar distribution pattern. Our study expands the current knowledge on the differences of microbial communities in cold seep sites and non-seep sites and sheds light on the horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of sediment microbial community in Site F.

The assertive growth of photovoltaics (PV) will occupy a lot of land resources. There is also a needed land resource to expand the culturing area of Eriocheir sinensis. The aquavoltaic systems offer a potential solution to integrate PV power and E. sinensis culturing. In this study, we cultured E. sinensis in an area of PV panels (PV group) and an area with no PV panels (control group), respectively. The results showed that the weight gain rate, body length, body width, and meat yield of male crabs in the PV group significantly increases. In addition, the moisture of muscles, hepatopancreas, and testes in the PV group has significantly increased, and the total lipids of the hepatopancreas and muscles in the PV group were significantly decreased. Moreover, the PV panels affected the content of eight amino acids in different tissues, including Met, Arg, Cys, Pro, Gly, Leu, Tyr, and His. In addition, several saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) had been significantly influenced by the PV panels. ∑MUFA, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), ∑n-3 PUFA, ∑n-6 PUFA, and n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio (p

Slope aspect determines the abundance and composition of nitrogen‐cycling microbial communities in an alpine ecosystem - Jianbin Pan; Yongjun Liu; Yue Yang; Zhongxia Cheng; Xiaomei Lan; Weigang Hu; Guoxi Shi; Qi Zhang; Huyuan Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Slope aspect is an important topographic feature that can influence local environmental conditions. While strong effects of slope aspect on aboveground and belowground communities have been frequently elucidated, how slope aspect affects soil nitrogen (N) cycling microbes remains unclear. Here, we characterized the communities of soil N‐cycling microbes on south‐ and north‐facing slopes in an alpine ecosystem, by quantifying (qPCR) and high‐throughput sequencing six genes involved in N‐fixation ( nifH ), nitrification (archaeal and bacterial amoA ) and denitrification ( nirK , nirS and nosZ ). We found that the abundance, diversity and community composition of major N‐cycling microbes differed dramatically between the two slope aspects, and these variances could be well explained by the aspect‐driven differences in environmental conditions, especially soil temperature and moisture. The response patterns of different N‐cycling groups to slope aspect were much inconsistent, especially for those with similar functions (i.e. ammonia‐oxidizing archaea vs. bacteria, nirK ‐ vs. nirS ‐reducers), indicating strong niche differentiation between these counterparts. We also observed strong preferences and distinct co‐occurrence patterns of N‐cycling microbial taxa for the two slope aspects. These findings highlight the importance of slope aspect in determining the abundance, species distribution and community structure of N‐cycling microbes, and consequently influencing N‐cycling processes and ecosystem functioning.

Neuroparsin 1 (MrNP1) and Neuroparsin 2 (MrNP2) Are Involved in the Regulation of Vitellogenesis in the Shrimp Macrobrachium rosenbergii - Chun Mei Ao; Li Li Shi; Wei Wang; Cheng Gui Wang; Siuming F. Chan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Neuroparsins (NP) are small-size cysteine-rich neuropeptides first discovered in insects. They are known to be involved in insect reproduction. In this study, we have cloned two neuroparsin cDNAs (i.e., MrNP1 and MrNP2) from the freshwater shrimp Macrobrachium rosenbergii . The two neuroparsins consist of 12 cysteines, which is characteristic of the neuroparsin family. These cysteines are arranged in identical relative positions that form 6-disulfide bonds. MrNP1 and MrNP2 are most similar to the corresponding neuroparsin counterparts of the shrimp Macrobrachium nipponense . Phylogenetic study results suggested that MrNP1 and MrNP2 are closely related to MnNP1 and MnNP3, respectively. Also, an additional MrNP gene similar to MnNP2 is expected to exist in M. rosenbergii. The MrNP1 expression level is the highest in the ovary, and MrNP2 expression is higher in the brain and heart of the females. In addition, during the ovary maturation cycle, MrNP1 expression in the hepatopancreas is highest in stage V; in the ovary it is variable. MrNP2 expression in the hepatopancreas and ovary is the highest in stage II and stage I, respectively. In vivo and in vitro bioassay experiment results indicate that MrNP1 and MrNP2 recombinant proteins can stimulate the expression of the MrVg gene. In contrast, silencing of MrNP1 and MrNP2 genes would suppress MrVg, VgR, and CyclinB gene expressions. The results indicate that the products of both genes can stimulate vitellogenesis by up-regulating the MrVg gene expression. Results from their difference in expression patterns indicate that they might have different regulatory roles in vitellogenin synthesis. Since gene silencing of either MrNP1 or MrNP2 affected the expression of the other NP, we have hypothesized that coordinated regulatory action between MrNP1 and MrNP2 may be necessary for the normal vitellogenesis in M. rosenbergii.

Nuclear Factor-κB Plays a Positive Role in TNFα Expression in Golden Pompano, Trachinotus ovatus (Linnaeus 1758) - Ke-Cheng Zhu; Hua-Yang Guo; Liang Guo; Bao-Suo Liu; Nan Zhang; Shi-Gui Jiang; Dian-Chang Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is a multifarious mediator of lymphoid tissue growth and antimicrobial defence mechanisms, and it acts as a pro-inflammatory regulator. The function of TNFα in parasite infection and the underlying mechanism through which nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates TNFα remain largely unclear in teleosts. In the present study, TNFα ( ToTNF α) from golden pompano ( Trachinotus ovatus ) was identified, and its sequence features and expression levels were determined. The genomic DNA sequence is composed of 1,130 bp, consists of four exons and three introns, and encodes 341 amino acid polypeptides. The putative protein sequence shares 34.7%–61.9% identity with fish TNFα and possesses a TNF family signature and two conserved cysteine residues. Moreover, the expressions of ToNF- κ B and ToTNF α are constitutively expressed in all examined tissues, with higher levels observed in the immune relevant tissues. Both ToNF- κ B and ToTNF α transcription was increased in the local infection sites (skin and gill) and system immune tissues (liver, spleen and head kidney) after Cryptocaryon irritans stimulation. In addition, to investigate whether ToNF-κB is a regulator of ToTNF α, promoter analysis was performed. The region from -970 to +79 bp is known as the core promoter by different truncated mutants of ToTNF α. Subsequently, the activity of the ToTNF α -p2 promoter was dramatically reduced after targeted mutation of the M6-binding site. Additionally, an electrophoretic mobile shift assay (EMSA) verified that ToNF-κB interacted with the M6-binding site in the ToTNF α promoter region to control the expression of ToTNF α. In conclusion, the present study provides the positive regulation of TNF α transcription by NF-κB and contributes to a better understanding of the transcriptional mechanism of TNF α in fish.

Reproductive Biology of Yellowfin Tuna (Thunnus albacares) in Tropical Western and Central Pacific Ocean - Xiaofei Shi; Jian Zhang; Xiao Wang; Yixi Wang; Cheng Li; Jiangao Shi (Fishes, 2022)
A total of 756 yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) caught by a Chinese drifting longliner in the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) from May 2018 to March 2019 were investigated to describe the reproductive biology of the species. Generalized linear model and polytomous logistic regression for the ordinal response model were employed to assess the effects of biometric and spatiotemporal factors (such as individual fork length (FL), fishing depth, dissolved oxygen, and month) on the reproductive traits of yellowfin tuna. The results showed that FLs ranged from 87 to 163 cm, averaging 115.8 cm (SD = ±14.2) for females and 121.8 cm (SD = ±16.8) for males. The proportion of males in the sampled fish was 0.61 (SD = ±0.29), and larger males (>130 cm) were proportionally predominant. Analyses based on the monthly variation of the gonadosomatic index and monthly proportion of sexual maturity stages of the gonads showed that the main spawning period of yellowfin tuna lasts from September to December. In addition, the 50% first maturity FLs of males and females were 111.96 cm (SD = ±1.04) and 119.64 cm (SD = ±1.30), respectively. This study provides new information on the reproductive development of T. albacares in the tropical WCPO region. These reproductive parameters reduce uncertainty in current stock assessment models, which will ultimately assist the fishery in becoming sustainable for future generations.

The tetrameric assembly of 2‐aminomuconic 6‐semialdehyde dehydrogenase is a functional requirement of cofactor NAD + binding - Qiuli Shi; Yanjuan Chen; Xinxin Li; Hui Dong; Cheng Chen; Zhihui Zhong; Cheng Yang; Guangfeng Liu; Dan Su (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary The bacterium Pseudomonas sp. AP‐3 is able to use the environmental pollutant 2‐aminophenol as its sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy. Eight genes (amnA, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) encoding 2‐aminophenol metabolizing enzymes are clustered into a single operon. 2‐Aminomuconic 6‐semialdehyde dehydrogenase (AmnC), a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily, is responsible for oxidizing 2‐aminomuconic 6‐semialdehyde to 2‐aminomuconate. In contrast to many other members of the ALDH superfamily, the structural basis of the catalytic activity of AmnC remains elusive. Here, we present the crystal structure of AmnC, which displays a homotetrameric quaternary assembly that is directly involved in its enzymatic activity. The tetrameric state of AmnC in solution was also presented using small‐angle X‐ray scattering. The tetramerization of AmnC is mediated by the assembly of a protruding hydrophobic beta‐strand motif and residues V121 and S123 located in the NAD + ‐binding domain of each subunit. Dimeric mutants of AmnC dramatically lose NAD + binding affinity and failed to oxidize the substrate analogue 2‐hydroxymuconate‐6‐semialdehyde to α‐hydroxymuconic acid, indicating that tetrameric assembly of AmnC is functional requirement.

Development of eco‐industrial parks in Ethiopia: The case of Hawassa Industrial Park - Doryn Negesa; Wei Cong; Lei Cheng; Lei Shi (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2022)
As win‐win solutions at the park level, eco‐industrial parks (EIPs) have become the mainstream model to realize a sustainable transition of industrial parks in the world. However, few cases have been implemented in Africa, even though Africa is fertile ground for the growth of industrial parks. This study explores the transition process and outcome of a typical African industrial park—Hawassa Industrial Park (HIP) in Ethiopia. We adopted the international framework for EIPs and applied the strategic niche management (SNM) framework to uncover the transition performance and process. This study shows that HIP's development is a clear articulation of implementing the sustainable development strategy and the industrial park development corporation's role. However, the analysis also identified limitations such as the impracticability of certain framework criteria and inapplicable indicators. Although HIP is still at the nascent stages of EIP implementation, we have found three critical factors for EIP development in Ethiopia from our preliminary observation. These include the importance of actors, the learning process, and having standards for an indicator system. These indicators are of exceptional value to Ethiopian researchers and practitioners in integrating sustainability into local economic development.

Prediction of disability-free survival in healthy older people - Johannes Tobias Neumann; Le T. P. Thao; Anne M. Murray; Emily Callander; Prudence R. Carr; Mark R. Nelson; Rory Wolfe; Robyn L. Woods; Christopher M. Reid; Raj C. Shah; Anne B. Newman; Jeff D. Williamson; et al. (GeroScience, 2022)
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disability-free survival outcome was defined as absence of dementia, persistent disability or death. Selection of potential predictors from amongst 25 biomedical, psychosocial and lifestyle variables including recognized geriatric risk factors, utilizing a machine-learning approach. Separate models were developed for men and women. The selected predictors were evaluated in a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model and validated internally by bootstrapping. We included 19,114 Australian and US participants aged ≥65 years (median 74 years, IQR 71.6–77.7). Common predictors of a worse prognosis in both sexes included higher age, lower Modified Mini-Mental State Examination score, lower gait speed, lower grip strength and abnormal (low or elevated) body mass index. Additional risk factors for men included current smoking, and abnormal eGFR. In women, diabetes and depression were additional predictors. The biased-corrected areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the final prognostic models at 5 years were 0.72 for men and 0.75 for women. Final models showed good calibration between the observed and predicted risks. We developed a prediction model in which age, cognitive function and gait speed were the strongest predictors of disability-free survival in healthy older people.

(Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise, 2022)
Purpose This study aimed to compare the effects of ground and treadmill running on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties, providing a basis for the general public to choose running venues. Methods Ten male college students (age, 20.10 ± 1.53 years; height, 176.20 ± 5.49 cm; weight, 72.14 ± 8.25 kg; body fat percent, 12.41% ± 4.65%) were recruited in this study. Energy expenditure (EE) was measured using the accelerometer (GT9X) combined with specific estimation equations. Average heart rate (HR) was measured using a heart rate band (Polar). Muscle contractile properties were assessed by measuring muscle displacement (Dm) and contraction velocity (Vc) using tensiomyography (TMG-S1). Blood glucose (Glu) and lactate (Lac) were measured by portable devices (eB-G and Lactate Scout). The running speed was 9 km/h and the duration was 25 min. Two-way ANOVA (protocol × time) was used to analyze the effect of running protocols on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties. Results EE of treadmill running was significantly higher than EE of ground running (protocol main effect, P < 0.001), and HR of treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running in the first testing time (protocol simple effect, P = 0.026; protocol × time interaction P = 0.043). The decrease in Dm of the rectus femoris after treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running (protocol main effect, P = 0.009). The interaction of different running protocols and testing times on Lac was significant ( P = 0.025), but all results of the simple effects analysis were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Our study found a difference in energy expenditure between treadmill and ground running at 9 km/h with duration of 25 min. In addition, treadmills are more likely to cause a decrease in muscle displacement distance of the rectus femoris measured after exercise than ground running. Future studies are needed to further investigate whether the differences are induced by internal metabolism or the environmental conditions of running.

Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW. Elevated expression of PDXDC1 is related to higher BMD and lower ratio n-6/n-3 PUFA indicating a bone protective effect of PDXDC1.

The protozoan Cryptocaryon irritans is one of the most important ectoparasites of marine fish, causing ‘white spot disease’ and mass mortality in aquaculture. To accurately predict disease outbreaks and develop prevention strategies, improved detection methods are required that are sensitive, convenient and rapid. In this study, a pair of specific primers based on the C . irritans 18S rRNA gene was developed and used in a real‐time PCR (qPCR) assay. This assay was able to detect five theronts in 1 L of natural seawater. Furthermore, a linear model was established to analyse the log of Ct value and parasite abundance in seawater (y = –2.9623x + 24.2930), and the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) value was 0.979. A lysis buffer was optimized for theront DNA extraction and used for storage sample. This method was superior to the commercial water DNA kit, and there was no significant degradation of DNA at room temperature for 24–96 hr. A dilution method was developed to manage qPCR inhibitors and used to investigate natural seawater samples in a net cage farm with diseased fish, and the findings were consistent with the actual situation. This study provides a valuable tool for assisting in the early monitoring and control of cryptocaryoniasis in aquaculture.

Alternative Splicing of the Lobster (Homarus americanus) Crustacean Hyperglycemic Hormone A and B Genes Produce 2 Protein Variants Involved in Vitellogenin Inhibition - Cheng Gui Wang; Wei Wang; Li Li Shi; Yu Chun Shen; Siuming F. Chan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Current BLASTP search analysis results suggested that the lobster ( Homarus americanus ) HaCHH-A and HaCHH-B may be derived from two different four-exon genes. Repeated tissue expression studies have revealed much different expression patterns of these two genes from those reported in the past. With RT-PCR, rapid amplification of complementary DNA (cDNA) ends (RACE), and genomic DNA cloning, we confirmed that the HaCHH-A and HaCHH-B transcripts were derived from two different four-exon CHH genes. By an alternative splicing mechanism, each gene can produce different but larger transcript variants (i.e., sHaCHH-A and sHaCHH-B ) mainly in different non-eyestalk tissues of the females. The larger and unspliced transcripts can be detected in the hepatopancreas, gill, heart, nerve cord, brain, ovary, and thoracic ganglion of the reproductive females. The expression patterns of sHaCHH-A and sHaCHH-B in other non-eyestalk tissues suggest that these transcripts have a wide spectrum of expressions during the female reproductive cycle. An in vitro organ explant culture system was developed to investigate the reproductive function of these cDNAs. The results showed that the recombinant proteins for sHaCHH-A and sHaCHH-B inhibited the gene expression of vitellogenin, whereas the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) for sHaCHH-A and sHaCHH-B stimulated the expression of the vitellogenin gene in vitro . The results of the study may provide insights for the development of techniques to induce gonad development without using eyestalk ablation operation. This is the first in-depth report of the characterization of two four-exon CHH genes in a crustacean.

The relationship between polymorphism of insulin-like growth factor I gene and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in Uygur population, Xinjiang, China - Tingting Wang; Gulixiati Maimaitituersun; Haonan Shi; Cheng Chen; Qi Ma; Yinxia Su; Hua Yao; Jia Zhu (Genes & Genomics, 2022)
Background Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) susceptibility varies among different populations and is affected by gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Insulin-like growth factor ( IGF )-1 gene, which has many SNP loci, is involved in T2DM pathogenesis. However, the relationship of IGF-1 gene polymorphism with T2DM in Uyghur population is less studied. Objective To investigate the relationship between T2DM susceptibility and polymorphism of IGF-1 gene in Uyghur population of Xinjiang, China. Methods This study enrolled 220 cases (122 males (55.46%) and 98 females (44.54%); mean age of 53.40 ± 10.94 years) of T2DM patients (T2DM group) and 229 (124 males (54.15%) and 105 females (45.85%); mean age of 51.64 ± 10.48 years) healthy controls (control group). Biochemical indexes were determined. IGF-1 gene polymorphism was analyzed by SNP genotyping. Results The levels of TG, HDL, LDL, BUN, and Cr were statistically significant between the T2DM group and the control group. In terms of IGF-1 polymorphism, T2DM group had higher frequency of AA genotype (OR = 2.40, 95% CI = 1.19–4.84) and allele A (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.17–2.06) of rs35767 loci, suggesting that rs35767 is related to the occurrence of T2DM. A total of 5 gene interaction models was obtained through analyzing the interaction of 5 SNP loci with the GMDR method. Among them, the two-factor model that included rs35767 locus and rs5742694 locus had statistical difference with a large cross-validation consistency (10/10). The combination of GG/CC, GA/AA, AA/AA, and AA/AC genotype was in high-risk group, whereas the combination of GG/AA, GG/AC, GA/AC and GA/CC genotype was in the low-risk group. The risk of T2DM in the high-risk group was 2.165 times than that of the low-risk group (OR = 2.165, 95% CI = 1.478–3.171). Conclusion TG, HDL, LDL, BUN, and Cr are influencing factors of T2DM in Uyghur population. The rs35767 locus of IGF-1 gene may be associated with T2DM in Uyghur population. The high-risk group composing of rs35767 locus and rs5742694 locus has a higher risk of T2DM.

Global divergent trends of algal blooms detected by satellite during 1982–2018 - Chong Fang; Kaishan Song; Hans W Paerl; Pierre‐Andre Jacinthe; Zhidan Wen; Ge Liu; Hui Tao; Xiaofeng Xu; Tiit Kutser; Zongming Wang; Hongtao Duan; Kun Shi; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Algal blooms (ABs) in inland lakes have caused adverse ecological effects, and health impairment of animals and humans. We used archived Landsat images to examine ABs in lakes (>1 km 2 ) around the globe over a 37‐year time span (1982–2018). Out of the 176032 lakes with area >1 km 2 detected globally, 863 were impacted by ABs, 708 had sufficiently long records to define a trend, and 66% exhibited increasing trends in frequency ratio (FRQR, ratio of the number of ABs events observed in a year in a given lake to the number of available Landsat images for that lake) or area ratio (AR, ratio of annual maximum area covered by ABs observed in a lake to the surface area of that lake), while 34% showed a decreasing trend. Across North America, an intensification of ABs severity was observed for FRQR ( p p p p

Effects of Antrodia camphorata-Supplemented Diets on the Non-Specific Immune Responses and Disease Resistance of Orange-Spotted Grouper (Epinephelus coioides) against Vibrio alginolyticus and Streptococcus iniae - Hsiang-Chieh Chuang; Yin-Ze Shi; Chiu-Min Cheng; Chieh-Yu Pan; Ann-Chang Cheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In Taiwan, the mushroom Antrodia camphorata (AC) is used for medicinal purposes, including cancer prevention and treatment. This study aimed to investigate the effect of AC-supplemented diets on the innate immunity and disease resistance of the orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides against two bacterial infections—Vibrio alginolyticus and Streptococcus iniae. Orange-spotted groupers were fed AC-supplemented diets at 0 (control), 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 g kg−1 for 28 days and examined for innate immune responses and survival rates against V. alginolyticus and S. iniae. The results showed that the innate cellular and humoral immune parameters, including respiratory burst, phagocytic activity, and lysozyme activity of leukocytes, along with serum alternative complement activity (ACH50) and superoxide dismutase activity, as well as interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-6, were all significantly increased in groupers fed AC-supplemented diets. Groupers fed diets containing AC at doses higher than 3.0 g kg−1 had better survival rates than the control group 3–18 days after V. alginolyticus or S. iniae challenge. The enhanced disease resistance may be attributable to AC-induced innate immunity, suggesting that utilizing AC as a dietary supplement at 3.0 g kg−1 may enhance the disease resistance of orange-spotted groupers against Vibrio or Streptococcus infection.

Ecdysis Triggering Hormone, Eclosion Hormone, and Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide Play Essential but Different Roles in the Molting Process of Mud Crab, Scylla paramamosain - Yan-Fei Zhao; Qi-Qiao Wen; Chun-Mei Ao; Wei Wang; Li-Li Shi; Cheng-Gui Wang; Siuming-Francis Chan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Molting behavior in insects is controlled by the ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH), eclosion hormone (EH) and the crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP). At present, the regulation of molting behavior in crustaceans remains unclear. Here, we studied the roles of ETH , EH , and CCAP in the molt regulation of the crab, Scylla paramamosain from their expression pattern and in vivo assays. The results showed that transcripts of ETH , EH , and CCAP were mainly localized in thoracic ganglia and fluctuated periodically with the molting cycle. When ETH or CCAP was knockdown at early premolt stage (D0), molting of crabs was interrupted and all animals died at late premolt stage (D2). While the EH gene was knock-down, most crabs were dead before D2. Injection of synthetic peptide for ETH or CCAP rescued ETH - or CCAP -gene knock-down crabs separately. However, none of peptides could rescue dsEH -injected crabs. At D0 stage, knockdown of ETH down-regulated the transcriptions of EH and CCAP ; while ETH was up-regulated when EH was knockdown. At D2 stage, ETH transcripts levels were reduced with the injection of dsEH but increased with the same dose of dsETH as crabs at D0 stage. Co-injection of ds ETH and ds EH down-regulated ETH at D2 stage. Results showed that ETH , EH , and CCAP play essential but different roles in molt regulation in mud crab. In summary, the result of this study contributes to the discovery of different molecular mechanisms between Insecta and Crustacea and may provide insight to develop fishery drugs that helps aquacultured crustaceans to molt successfully.

Swimming behaviour of silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys molitrix ) in response to turbulent flow induced by a D ‐cylinder - Senfan Ke; Zhiying Tu; Elsa Goerig; Junjun Tan; Bixin Cheng; Zhimin Li; Xiaotao Shi (Journal of Fish Biology, 2022)
Turbulence is a complex hydraulic phenomenon which commonly occurs in natural streams and fishways. Riverine fish are subjected to heterogeneous flow velocities and turbulence, which may affect their movements and ability to pass the fishways. However, studies focusing on fish response to turbulent flows are lacking for many species. Here we investigate the effects of the turbulence created by a vertical half‐cylinder of various diameters (1.9, 2.5, 3.2 and 5.0 cm) on the swimming ability and behaviour of silver carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix . The large D‐cylinders (3.0 and 5.0 cm) create specific vorticity and reduced velocities areas in their vicinity, which favours flow refuging behaviours (FRBs) and thus increased relative critical swimming speeds ( U rcrit , BL/s) of silver carp, by comparison to free‐flow conditions and cylinders of smaller diameter (1.9 and 2.5 cm). The flow speed at which silver carp maximized FRBs such as Karman gaiting downstream of the cylinder, holding position in the bow wake or entraining on the side ranged from 40 to 70 cm s −1 , depending on fish body size. When holding station near a cylinder under optimal flow speeds, the distance between the fish and the cylinder is related to the size of the fish, but also to the size of the cylinder and the produced vortices. The optimal holding region in the drag wake of the cylinder ranged from 28 to 40 cm downstream of the centre of the cylinder, depending on the size of the fish. Smaller fish, however, tend to use the reduced velocities areas located in the bow wake of the large cylinders. We hypothesize that fish will display FRBs, including maintaining a Karman gait in turbulent flow, when the ratio of the cylinder diameter to their body length is between 1:3 and 1:4. They also match their tail beat frequency to the vortex shedding frequency of the cylinder. Our results provide a better understanding of how silver carp respond to turbulent flows around physical structures, with implications for the design of nature‐like fishways or exclusion devices in both its native and invasive ranges.

Influence of Functional Group Modification on the Toxicity of Nanoplastics - Haihong Zhang; Haodong Cheng; Yudi Wang; Zhenghua Duan; Wenjie Cui; Yansong Shi; Li Qin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Nanoplastics (NPs) are ubiquitous in harvested organisms at various trophic levels, and more concerns on their diverse responses and wide species-dependent sensitivity are continuously increasing. However, systematic study on the toxic effects of NPs with different functional group modifications is still limited. In this review, we gathered and analyzed the toxic effects of NPs with different functional groups on microorganisms, plants, animals, and mammalian/human cells in vitro. The corresponding toxic mechanisms were also described. In general, most up-to-date relevant studies focus on amino (−NH 2 ) or carboxyl (−COOH)-modified polystyrene (PS) NPs, while research on other materials and functional groups is lacking. Positively charged PS-NH 2 NPs induced stronger toxicity than negatively charged PS-COOH. Plausible toxicity mechanisms mainly include membrane interaction and disruption, reactive oxygen species generation, and protein corona and eco-corona formations, and they were influenced by surface charges of NPs. The effects of NPs in the long-term exposure and in the real environment world also warrant further study.

Differential metabolism-associated gene expression of duck pancreatic cells in response to two strains of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 - Zhen Chen; Shao-hua Shi; Yu Huang; Cui-qin Huang; Rong-chang Liu; Long-fei Cheng; Guang-hua Fu; Hong-mei Chen; Chun-he Wan; Qiu-ling Fu (Archives of Virology, 2021)
Several outbreaks of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1), which were characterized by yellow coloration and hemorrhage in pancreatic tissues, have occurred in China. The causative agent is called pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1. The mechanisms involved in pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 infection are still unclear. Transcriptome analysis of duck pancreas infected with classical-type DHAV-1 and pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 was carried out. Deep sequencing with Illumina-Solexa resulted in a total of 53.9 Gb of clean data from the cDNA library of the pancreas, and a total of 29,597 unigenes with an average length of 993.43 bp were generated by de novo sequence assembly. The expression levels of D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, phosphoserine aminotransferase, and phosphoserine phosphatase, which are involved in glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism pathways, were significantly downregulated in ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 compared with those infected with classical-type DHAV-1. These findings provide information regarding differences in expression levels of metabolism-associated genes between ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 and those infected with classical-type DHAV-1, indicating that intensive metabolism disorders may contribute to the different phenotypes of DHAV-1-infection.

Vertical Fine-Scale Distribution of Calanus sinicus in the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass During the Over-Summering Process - Jun Pan; Fangping Cheng; Fei Yu; Yongqiang Shi; Fan Sun; Guangcheng Si; Chuanjie Wei; Xinyuan Diao; Yongfang Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Calanus sinicus , a temperate copepod with a lethal temperature >27°C, is one of the key species in Chinese coastal marine ecosystems. The C. sinicus population increases in spring and declines in early summer annually due to increasing water temperature. Numerous C. sinicus individuals then congregate in the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM) and remain under the thermocline from early summer to early autumn. Development and reproduction is halted in this cold and foodless bottom water and they avoid ascending to the hot surface water, which is regarded as an over-summering strategy. Based on discrete water sampling approaches, previous studies demonstrated that higher chlorophyll a (Chl a) levels appeared in the mixed hot surface water layer; however, the subsurface chlorophyll a maximum layer (SCML) has seldom been described. In the present study, various probes and a visual plankton recorder (VPR) were used to determine the fine vertical distributions of environmental factors and C. sinicus . VPR observations showed the ecological responses in fine scale and indicated that few C. sinicus individuals ascend at night, the main population preferred to remain below the SCML all day long. The results demonstrated that a constant thin SCML existed in the YSCWM area, and that the SCML location coincided with or was beneath the thermocline and halocline layers, where the temperature was suitable for C. sinicus . The relationship between abundance and Chl a, showed the diel vertical migration trend of C. sinicus to feed at night in the YSCWM area. In addition to temperature as a main influencing factor, dissolved oxygen concentrations and column depth were also influencing factors. Therefore, in addition to avoiding high surface temperature, energy supplement may be an important driving force confining the diel vertical migration of C. sinicus in the Yellow Sea in summer.

Sum of High-Risk Gene Mutation (SHGM): A Novel Attempt to Assist Differential Diagnosis for Adrenocortical Carcinoma with Benign Adenoma, Based on Detection of Mutations of Nine Target Genes - Guo-Yang Zheng; Xue-Bin Zhang; Han-Zhong Li; Yu-Shi Zhang; Jian-Hua Deng; Xing-Cheng Wu (Biochemical Genetics, 2021)
There has been no research on applying gene detection to differential diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). We attempted to explore a novel auxiliary method for differential diagnosis between ACC with benign adrenocortical adenoma (ACA), based on mutations of target genes in tissues. Nine genes were chosen as target genes, including TP53, CTNNB1, ARMC5, PRKAR1A, ZNRF3, RB1, APC, MEN1, and RPL22 . Exons sequencing of target genes were performed in 98 cases of tissue samples by FastTarget technology, including 41 ACC tissues, 32 ACA tissues, and 25 normal adrenal gland tissues. Significant mutations were detected and identified, and the clinical information was collected, for further comparative analysis and application to assist differential diagnosis of ACC. We identified 132 significant gene mutations and 227 significant mutation sites in 37 ACC tissues, much more than ACA and normal adrenal gland tissues. Mutation rates of 6 genes in ACC tissues were obviously higher than ACA tissues, including ZNRF3, ARMC5, TP53, APC, RB1, and PRKAR1A , regarded as high-risk genes. The sum of mutated high-risk genes detected in each sample was denominated sum of high-risk gene mutation (SHGM), and the rates of SHGM > 0 and SHGM > 1 in ACC tissues were 73.0% and 62.2%, respectively, both obviously higher than those in ACA tissues, with significant statistic differences. Especially for 8 cases of ACC with diameter 0 and SHGM > 1 were found in 6 samples (75%) and 4 samples (50%), respectively. However, no relevance was found between SHGM and clinical characteristics of ACC. We identified 6 high-risk genes in ACC tissues, with significantly higher mutation rates than ACA or normal adrenal gland tissues. The sum of mutated high-risk genes detected in ACC tissues was denominated SHGM, which was potential to assist the differential diagnosis of ACC with ACA, especially for the small-size ACC.
