Circular RNA expression profile of systemic lupus erythematosus and its clinical significance as a potential novel biomarker - Wenyu Li; Runge Fan; Cheng Zhou; Yue Wei; Shunsheng Lin; Sijian Wen; Wen Zeng; Wei Hou; Cheng Zhao; Youkun Lin (Genes & Genomics, 2022)
Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of endogenous noncoding RNAs that are more abundant, specific, and highly organized than linear RNAs. Increasing evidence supports that circRNAs may serve as diagnostic biomarkers in many diseases, but their potential as biomarkers in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains unclear. Objective We investigated the critical circRNAs involved in SLE progression and explored their potential application as biomarkers in SLE. Method RNA sequencing was conducted on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 4 SLE patients and 4 healthy volunteers. CircRNA profile data were analyzed to identify differentially expressed circRNAs and visualized via R software. After screening, qPCR analysis of target circRNA expression was performed using PBMCs from 31 SLE patients and 35 healthy volunteers. Correlations between circRNA expression levels and the SLEDAI score were assessed via Spearman correlation analysis. Finally, the performance of circRNAs as biomarkers in SLE was examined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results The result identified six differentially expressed circRNAs between SLE patients and healthy controls: hsa_circ_0006689, hsa_circ_0070562, hsa_circ_0006117, hsa_circ_0007683, hsa_circ_0042519, and hsa_circ_0008647. The validation analysis showed differing relative expression levels of hsa_circ_0007683, hsa_circ_0042519, hsa_circ_0008647, and hsa_circ_0006689 between SLE patients and healthy volunteers (P < 0.05), and hsa_circ_0006689 expression in PBMCs correlated with the SLEDAI score (P < 0.05). Furthermore, addition of hsa_circ_0006689 expression increased the sensitivities of anti-dsDNA antibody and anti-Sm antibody levels for SLE diagnosis (from 29.03 to 61.30% and 32.26–71.00%, respectively). Conclusion Our results suggest hsa_circ_0006689 may be a useful circRNA biomarker for SLE diagnosis and prognosis.

Behavioral and transcriptomic changes in butenolide treated larvae of the cosmopolitan fouling bryozoan Bugulina (Bugula) neritina - Jin-You Liang; Yi-Fan Cheng; Xiao-Lin Huang; Ying Xu; Yue Him Wong; Yu Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The arborescent bryozoan Bugulina neritina is a cosmopolitan fouling species in sub-tropical to sub-temperate waters. The butenolide compound 5-octylfuran-2(5H)-one (hereafter named butenolide) reportedly inhibits larval settlement of B. neritina , but its effect on the larval behavioral and transcriptomic responses remained unclear. We report that 10 μg mL -1 or higher concentration of butenolide and/or prolonged treatment (10 h or longer) resulted in significant increase in larval mortality and prominent spiral larval swimming behavior. The transcriptomic analyses not only revealed up-regulation of typical stress-related protein genes in response to 10 mg mL -1 butenolide treatment, but also indicated up-regulation of mucin , synaptic genes and nitric oxide signaling genes. In addition, the expression of developmental genes and lipid biosynthesis genes were also affected. Overall, our larval behavior and transcriptome analyses reflected the impact of butenolide on the metabolism, neuronal and molecular signaling in B. neritina larvae.

Visualization and quantification of carbon “rusty sink” by rice root iron plaque: Mechanisms, functions, and global implications - Liang Wei; Zhenke Zhu; Bahar S. Razavi; Mouliang Xiao; Maxim Dorodnikov; Lichao Fan; Hongzhao Yuan; Andrey Yurtaev; Yu Luo; Weiguo Cheng; Yakov Kuzyakov; Jinshui Wu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Paddies contain 78% higher organic carbon (C) stocks than adjacent upland soils, and iron (Fe) plaque formation on rice roots is one of the mechanisms that traps C. The process sequence, extent and global relevance of this C stabilization mechanism under oxic/anoxic conditions remains unclear. We quantified and localized the contribution of Fe plaque to organic matter stabilization in a microoxic area (rice rhizosphere) and evaluated roles of this C trap for global C sequestration in paddy soils. Visualization and localization of pH by imaging with planar optodes, enzyme activities by zymography, and root exudation by 14 C imaging, as well as upscale modeling enabled linkage of three groups of rhizosphere processes that are responsible for C stabilization from the micro‐ (root) to the macro‐ (ecosystem) levels. The 14 C activity in soil (reflecting stabilization of rhizodeposits) with Fe 2+ addition was 1.4–1.5 times higher than that in the control and phosphate addition soils. Perfect co‐localization of the hotspots of β‐glucosidase activity (by zymography) with root exudation ( 14 C) showed that labile C and high enzyme activities were localized within Fe plaques. Fe 2+ addition to soil and its microbial oxidation to Fe 3+ by radial oxygen release from rice roots increased Fe plaque (Fe 3+ ) formation by 1.7–2.5 times. The C amounts trapped by Fe plaque increased by 1.1 times after Fe 2+ addition. Therefore, Fe plaque formed from amorphous and complex Fe (oxyhydr)oxides on the root surface act as a “rusty sink” for organic matter. Considering the area of coverage of paddy soils globally, upscaling by model revealed the radial oxygen loss from roots and bacterial Fe oxidation may trap up to 130 Mg C in Fe plaques per rice season. This represents an important annual surplus of new and stable C to the existing C pool under long‐term rice cropping.

Inland Waterway Ship Path Planning Based on Improved RRT Algorithm - Shengshi Cao; Pingyi Fan; Tao Yan; Cheng Xie; Jian Deng; Feng Xu; Yaqing Shu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Ship path planning is crucial for the shipping industry, especially for the development of autonomous ships. Many algorithms have been developed over the last few decades to solve the ship path planning problem. However, it is still challenging for ship path planning in an inland waterway. In this paper, an improved RRT algorithm for ship path planning in complex inland waterways is proposed. The improved algorithm has a path shearing and smoothing module, and the function of keeping a safe distance between a moving ship and obstacles. In addition, the algorithm has been tested in two inland waterway scenarios, and the results have confirmed its feasibility and reliability. The path planning algorithm proposed in this research seeks to reduce the risks faced by ship navigation in inland water. It has theoretical and practical significance in improving navigation safety in complex inland waters.

Assessment of potential sediment disasters and resilience management of mountain roads using environmental indicators - Chao-Yuan Lin; Yuan-Chung Lai; Shao-Wei Wu; Fan-Chung Mo; Cheng-Yu Lin (Natural Hazards, 2022)
In recent years, extreme rainfall events occur frequently, causing serious watershed sediment disasters, destroying mountain roads, and endangering the safety of residents' lives and property. This study aims to deal with the spatial change of potential sediment movement on the road slope pre-disaster and to screen disaster hot spots for early warning and control system. The conceptual model is used to simulate the distribution of primary and/or derived disasters on a watershed scale to assess the impact of sediment disasters caused by heavy rain event. Correlation analysis shows that the models in assessment of primary disaster and derived disaster are significantly correlated with the collapse ratio and disaster ratio, respectively. Since the primary disaster has been considered when calculating the derived disaster risk, the terrain subdivision along Provincial Highway 21 (Tai-21) is extracted to understand the derived sediment disaster on the road slope. The model can effectively evaluate the road sections prone to disasters. According to the risk level, the hot spot of road slope disasters and the management of disaster resilience are determined and can be the reference for disaster prevention and control.

Another Record: Ocean Warming Continues through 2021 despite La Niña Conditions - Lijing Cheng; John Abraham; Kevin E. Trenberth; John Fasullo; Tim Boyer; Michael E. Mann; Jiang Zhu; Fan Wang; Ricardo Locarnini; Yuanlong Li; Bin Zhang; Zhetao Tan; et al. (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2022)
The increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activities traps heat within the climate system and increases ocean heat content (OHC). Here, we provide the first analysis of recent OHC changes through 2021 from two international groups. The world ocean, in 2021, was the hottest ever recorded by humans, and the 2021 annual OHC value is even higher than last year’s record value by 14 ± 11 ZJ (1 zetta J = 10 21 J) using the IAP/CAS dataset and by 16 ± 10 ZJ using NCEI/NOAA dataset. The long-term ocean warming is larger in the Atlantic and Southern Oceans than in other regions and is mainly attributed, via climate model simulations, to an increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations. The year-to-year variation of OHC is primarily tied to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). In the seven maritime domains of the Indian, Tropical Atlantic, North Atlantic, Northwest Pacific, North Pacific, Southern oceans, and the Mediterranean Sea, robust warming is observed but with distinct inter-annual to decadal variability. Four out of seven domains showed record-high heat content in 2021. The anomalous global and regional ocean warming established in this study should be incorporated into climate risk assessments, adaptation, and mitigation.

Assessment of the importance of increasing temperature and decreasing soil moisture on global ecosystem productivity using solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence - Chaoya Dang; Zhenfeng Shao; Xiao Huang; Jiaxin Qian; Gui Cheng; Qing Ding; Yewen Fan (Global Change Biology, 2022)
The accurate assessment of the global gross primary productivity (GPP) of vegetation is the key to estimating the global carbon cycle. Temperature (Ts) and soil moisture (SM) are essential for vegetation growth. It is acknowledged that the global Ts has shown an increasing trend, yet SM has shown a decreasing trend. However, the importance of SM and Ts changes on the productivity of global ecosystems remains unclear, as SM and Ts are strongly coupled through soil‐atmosphere interactions. Using solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) as a proxy for GPP and by decoupling SM and Ts changes, our investigation shows Ts plays a more important role in SIF in 60% of the vegetation areas. Overall, increased Ts promotes SIF by mitigating the resistance from SM’s reduction. However, the importance of SM and Ts varies, given different vegetation types. The results show that in the humid zone, the variation of Ts plays a more important role in SIF, but in the arid and semi‐arid zones, the variation of SM plays a more important role; in the semi‐humid zone, the disparity in the importance of SM and Ts is difficult to unravel. In addition, our results suggest that SIF is very sensitive to aridity gradients in arid and semi‐arid ecosystems. By decoupling the intertwined SM‐Ts impact on SIF, our study provides essential evidence that benefits future investigation on the factors the influence ecosystem productivity at regional or global scales.

A Review of Methods for Ship Detection with Electro-Optical Images in Marine Environments - Liqian Wang; Shuzhen Fan; Yunxia Liu; Yongfu Li; Cheng Fei; Junliang Liu; Bohan Liu; Yakui Dong; Zhaojun Liu; Xian Zhao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The ocean connects all continents and is an important space for human activities. Ship detection with electro-optical images has shown great potential due to the abundant imaging spectrum and, hence, strongly supports human activities in the ocean. A suitable imaging spectrum can obtain effective images in complex marine environments, which is the premise of ship detection. This paper provides an overview of ship detection methods with electro-optical images in marine environments. Ship detection methods with sea–sky backgrounds include traditional and deep learning methods. Traditional ship detection methods comprise the following steps: preprocessing, sea–sky line (SSL) detection, region of interest (ROI) extraction, and identification. The use of deep learning is promising in ship detection; however, it requires a large amount of labeled data to build a robust model, and its targeted optimization for ship detection in marine environments is not sufficient.

A Unique Diel Pattern in Carbonate Chemistry in the Seagrass Meadows of Dongsha Island: The Enhancement of Metabolic Carbonate Dissolution in a Semienclosed Lagoon - Wen-Chen Chou; Lan-Feng Fan; Chang-Chang Yang; Ying-Hsuan Chen; Chin-Chang Hung; Wei-Jen Huang; Yung-Yen Shih; Keryea Soong; Hsiao-Chun Tseng; Gwo-Ching Gong; Hung-Yu Chen; Cheng-Kuan Su (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
In contrast to other seagrass meadows where seawater carbonate chemistry generally shows strong diel variations with higher pH but lower partial pressure of CO 2 ( p CO 2 ) during the daytime and lower pH but higher p CO 2 during nighttime due to the alternation in photosynthesis and respiration, the seagrass meadows of the inner lagoon (IL) on Dongsha Island had a unique diel pattern with extremely high pH and low p CO 2 across a diel cycle. We suggest that this distinct diel pattern in pH and p CO 2 could be associated with the enhancement of total alkalinity (TA) production coupled to carbonate sediment dissolution in a semienclosed lagoon. The confinement of the IL may hamper water exchange and seagrass detritus export to the adjacent open ocean, which may result in higher organic matter loading to the sediments, and longer residence time of the water in the IL, accompanied by microbial respiration (both aerobic and anaerobic) that may reduce carbonate saturation level to drive carbonate dissolution and thus TA elevation, thereby forming such a unique diel pattern in carbonate chemistry. This finding further highlights the importance of considering TA production through metabolic carbonate dissolution when evaluating the potential of coastal blue carbon ecosystems to buffer ocean acidification and to absorb atmospheric CO 2 , in particular in a semienclosed setting.

Evaluation of the antiviral activity of naringenin, a major constituent of Typha angustifolia , against white spot syndrome virus in crayfish Procambarus clarkii - Zhong‐Chen Sun; Cheng Chen; Fei‐Fan Xu; Bing‐Ke Li; Jing‐Lei Shen; Tao Wang; Hai‐Feng Jiang; Gao‐Xue Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a serious pathogen threatening global crustacean aquaculture with no commercially available drugs. Herbal medicines widely used in antiviral research offer a rich reserve for drug discovery. Here, we investigated the inhibitory activity of 13 herbal medicines against WSSV in crayfish Procambarus clarkii and discovered that naringenin (NAR) has potent anti‐WSSV activity. In the preliminary screening, the extracts of Typha angustifolia displayed the highest inhibitory activity on WSSV replication (84.62%, 100 mg/kg). Further, NAR, the main active compound of T. angustifolia, showed a much higher inhibition rate (92.85%, 50 mg/kg). NAR repressed WSSV proliferation followed a dose‐dependent manner and significantly improved the survival of WSSV‐challenged crayfish. Moreover, pre‐ or post‐treatment of NAR displayed a comparable inhibition on the viral loads. NAR decreased the transcriptional levels of vital genes in viral life cycle, particularly for the immediately early‐stage gene ie1 . Further results showed that NAR could decrease the STAT gene expression to block ie1 transcription. Besides, NAR modulated immune‐related gene Hsp70 , antioxidant ( cMnSOD, mMnSOD, CAT, GST ), anti‐inflammatory ( COX‐1 , COX‐2 ) and pro‐apoptosis‐related factors (Bax and BI‐1) to inhibit WSSV replication. Overall, these results suggest that NAR may have the potential to be developed as preventive or therapeutic agent against WSSV.

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.

Structure-based virtual screening of CYP1A1 inhibitors: towards rapid tier-one assessment of potential developmental toxicants - Janice Jia Ni Goh; Julian Behn; Cheng-Shoong Chong; Guorui Zhong; Sebastian Maurer-Stroh; Hao Fan; Lit-Hsin Loo (Archives of Toxicology, 2021)
Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) metabolizes estrogens, melatonin, and other key endogenous signaling molecules critical for embryonic/fetal development. The enzyme has increasing expression during pregnancy, and its inhibition or knockout increases embryonic/fetal lethality and/or developmental problems. Here, we present a virtual screening model for CYP1A1 inhibitors based on the orthosteric and predicted allosteric sites of the enzyme. Using 1001 reference compounds with CYP1A1 activity data, we optimized the decision thresholds of our model and classified the training compounds with 68.3% balanced accuracy (91.0% sensitivity and 45.7% specificity). We applied our final model to 11 known CYP1A1 orthosteric binders and related compounds, and found that our ranking of the known orthosteric binders generally agrees with the relative activity of CYP1A1 in metabolizing these compounds. We also applied the model to 22 new test compounds with unknown/unclear CYP1A1 inhibitory activity, and predicted 16 of them are CYP1A1 inhibitors. The CYP1A1 potency and modes of inhibition of these 22 compounds were experimentally determined. We confirmed that most predicted inhibitors, including drugs contraindicated during pregnancy (amiodarone, bicalutamide, cyproterone acetate, ketoconazole, and tamoxifen) and environmental agents suspected to be endocrine disruptors (bisphenol A, diethyl and dibutyl phthalates, and zearalenone), are indeed potent inhibitors of CYP1A1. Our results suggest that virtual screening may be used as a rapid tier-one method to screen for potential CYP1A1 inhibitors, and flag them out for further experimental evaluations.

A Comprehensive Risk Assessment Framework for Inland Waterway Transportation of Dangerous Goods - Xi Huang; Yuanqiao Wen; Fan Zhang; Zhongyi Sui; Xiaodong Cheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
A framework for risk assessment due to inland waterway transportation of dangerous goods is designed based on all possible event types that may be caused by the inland transportation of dangerous goods. The objective of this study is to design a framework for calculating the risks associated with changes in the transportation of dangerous goods along inland waterways. The framework is based on the traditional definition of risk and is designed for sensitive riverside environmental conditions in inland waterways. From the perspective of transportation management, this paper introduced the concept of transportability of dangerous goods and constructed a transportability assessment framework, which consists of a multi-index evaluation system and a single metric model. The result of the assessment is as an auxiliary basis to determine the transportation permit and control intensity of dangerous goods in an inland waterway specific voyage. The methodology is illustrated using a case study of transporting fireworks in the Yangtze River.

Anthropogenic Sound Exposure-Induced Stress in Captive Dolphins and Implications for Cetacean Health - Wei-Cheng Yang; Chi-Fang Chen; Yee-Chien Chuah; Chun-Ru Zhuang; I-Hua Chen; T. Aran Mooney; Jeff Stott; Myra Blanchard; I-Fan Jen; Lien-Siang Chou (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Many cetaceans are exposed to increasing pressure caused by anthropogenic activities in their marine environment. Anthropogenic sound has been recognized as a possible stressor for cetaceans that may have impacts on health. However, the relationship between stress, hormones, and cytokines secretion in cetaceans is complex and not fully understood. Moreover, the effects of stress are often inconsistent because the character, intensity, and duration of the stressors are variable. For a better understanding of how anthropogenic sounds affect the psychophysiology of cetaceans, the present study compared the changes of cortisol concentration and cytokine gene transcriptions in blood samples and behaviors of captive bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) after sound exposures. The sound stimuli were 800 Hz pure-tone multiple impulsive sound for 30 min at three different sound levels (estimated mean received SPL: 0, 120, and 140 dB re 1 μPa) that likely cause no permanent and temporary hearing threshold shift in dolphins. Six cytokine genes (IL-2Rα, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) were selected for analysis. Cortisol levels and IL-10 gene transcription increased and IFNγ/IL-10 ratio was lower after a 30-min high-level sound exposure, indicating the sound stimuli used in this study could be a stressor for cetaceans, although only minor behavior changes were observed. This study may shed light on the potential impact of pile driving-like sounds on the endocrine and immune systems in cetaceans and provide imperative information regarding sound exposure for free-ranging cetaceans.

Polymodal Functionality of C. elegans OLL Neurons in Mechanosensation and Thermosensation - Yuedan Fan; Wenjuan Zou; Jia Liu; Umar Al-Sheikh; Hankui Cheng; Duo Duan; Du Chen; Siyan Liu; Luyi Chen; Jilei Xu; Firdosh Ruhomutally; Lijun Kang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Sensory modalities are important for survival but the molecular mechanisms remain challenging due to the polymodal functionality of sensory neurons. Here, we report the C. elegans outer labial lateral (OLL) sensilla sensory neurons respond to touch and cold. Mechanosensation of OLL neurons resulted in cell-autonomous mechanically-evoked Ca 2+ transients and rapidly-adapting mechanoreceptor currents with a very short latency. Mechanotransduction of OLL neurons might be carried by a novel Na + conductance channel, which is insensitive to amiloride. The bona fide mechano-gated Na + -selective degenerin/epithelial Na + channels, TRP-4, TMC, and Piezo proteins are not involved in this mechanosensation. Interestingly, OLL neurons also mediated cold but not warm responses in a cell-autonomous manner. We further showed that the cold response of OLL neurons is not mediated by the cold receptor TRPA-1 or the temperature-sensitive glutamate receptor GLR-3. Thus, we propose the polymodal functionality of OLL neurons in mechanosensation and cold sensation.

CD40 induces an antimicrobial response against the intracellular pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus - Hongli Xia; Huimin Fan; Meng Long; Jun Cheng; Wenjie Chen; Dapeng Yu; Liqun Xia; Yishan Lu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Streptococcus agalactiae is a Gram‐positive facultative intracellular bacterium that leads to severe economic loss of tilapia worldwide. Previous studies demonstrated that CD40 contributes to host protection against intracellular injection. In this study, CD40 was characterized from Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), named OnCD40. Sequence analysis showed that open reading frame of OnCD40 was 933 bp, containing a single peptide, a transmembrane domain and four cysteine‐rich domains. The qRT‐PCR revealed that OnCD40 was expressed in all examined tissues with the most abundant ones in spleen and thymus. After S. agalactiae stimulation, the expression of OnCD40 was significantly induced in most of the detected organs. Moreover, OnCD40‐overexpressing fish elicited significant protection against subsequent S. agalactiae challenge; approximately 10000‐fold fewer bacteria were detected in spleen of OnCD40‐overexpressing fish in comparison with control fish. Thus, CD40 had protecting function in Nile tilapia against intracellular pathogens.

Evaluation of crustal inhomogeneity parameters in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and adjacent regions - Xiao-Ping Fan; Yi-Cheng He; Cong-Jie Yang; Jun-Fei Wang (Journal of Seismology, 2020)
Broadband teleseismic waveform data from 13 earthquakes recorded by 70 digital seismic stations were selected to evaluate the inhomogeneity parameters of the crustal medium in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and its adjacent regions using the teleseismic fluctuation wavefield method. Results show that a strong inhomogeneity exists beneath the study region, which can be divided into three blocks according to its structure and tectonic deformation features. These are known as the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block. The velocity fluctuation ratios of the three blocks are approximately 5.1%, 3.6%, and 5.1% in the upper crust and 5.1%, 3.8%, and 4.9% in the lower crust. The inhomogeneity correlation lengths of the three blocks are about 10.1 km, 14.0 km, and 10.7 km in the upper crust and 11.8 km, 17.0 km, and 11.8 km in the lower crust. The differences in the crustal medium inhomogeneity beneath the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block may be related to intensive tectonic movement and material flow in the crust and upper mantle.

Bragg Reflections of Oblique Water Waves by Periodic Surface-Piercing and Submerged Breakwaters - I-Fan Tseng; Chi-Shian You; Chia-Cheng Tsai (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The Bragg reflections of oblique water waves by periodic surface-piercing structures over periodic bottoms are investigated using the eigenfunction matching method (EMM). Based on the assumption of small wave amplitude, the linear wave theory is employed in the solution procedure. In the step approximation, the surface-piercing structures and the bottom profiles are sliced into shelves separated by abrupt steps. For each shelf, the solution is composed of eigenfunctions with unknown coefficients representing the wave amplitudes. Upon applying the conservations of mass and momentum, a system of linear equations is obtained and is then solved by a sparse-matrix solver. The proposed EMM is validated by several examples in the literature. Then, the method is applied to solve Bragg reflections of oblique water waves by various surface-piercing structures over periodic bottoms. From the numerical experiments, Bragg’s law of oblique waves was used to predict the occurrences of Bragg resonance.

RIG-I aggravates interstitial fibrosis via c-Myc-mediated fibroblast activation in UUO mice - Zhuanli Zhou; Jiayun Ni; Jingyao Li; Chuanbing Huo; Naijun Miao; Fan Yin; Qian Cheng; Dan Xu; Hongyan Xie; Panpan Chen; Peiqing Zheng; Yingying Zhang; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2020)
Progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the common final outcome for all kidney diseases evolving into chronic kidney disease (CKD), whereas molecular mechanisms driving fibrogenesis remain elusive. Retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I), an intracellular pattern recognition receptor, is originally identified participating in immune response by recognizing virus RNA. Here, we revealed for the first time that RIG-I was induced in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and folic acid (FA) renal fibrosis models and moderate-degree renal fibrosis patients. Besides, we found RIG-I was mainly located in renal tubular epithelial cells and promoted the production and release of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 through activation of NF-κB. Inflammatory cytokines released by tubular epithelial cells activated c-Myc-mediated TGF-β/Smad signaling in fibroblasts, which in turn aggravated interstitial fibrosis by promoting fibroblast activation and production of extracellular matrix components (ECM). Deficiency of RIG-I attenuated renal fibrosis by the regulation of inflammatory responses, c-Myc expression, and fibroblast activation. Besides, gene silencing of RIG-I reduced inflammatory cytokines in cultured tubular epithelial cells treated with Angiotensin II. Knockdown of c-Myc or c-Myc inhibitor blocked IL-1β-induced fibroblast activation. Collectively, our study demonstrates that RIG-I plays a significant role in the progress of renal fibrosis via regulating c-Myc-mediated fibroblast activation. Key messages • RIG-I was constantly elevated in kidneys from renal fibrotic mice. • RIG-I facilitated inflammatory cytokine production in tubular epithelial cells. • RIG-I aggravated renal fibrosis via c-Myc-mediated TGF-β/Smad activation.

Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is known about the host factors required for false smut ball formation by U . virens . In this study, we identified histological determinants for the formation of false smut balls by inoculating U . virens into rice floral mutants defective with respect to individual floral parts. The results showed that U . virens could form mature false smut balls in rice floral mutants with defective pistils, but failed to develop false smut balls in the superwoman mutant lacking stamens, identifying that U . virens requires rice stamens to complete its infection cycle. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated a list of candidate host genes that may facilitate nutrient acquisition by U . virens from the rice stamens, such as SWEET11 , SWEET14 and SUT5 , and genes involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose and raffinose family sugars. These data pinpoint rice stamens as the key target organ of U . virens infection and provide a valuable starting point for dissecting the molecular mechanism of false smut ball formation.

The chronologies of few Neolithic sites in the lower reaches of the Min River of China have been well investigated for the middle to late Holocene. In this study, the Hengyu Neolithic site in Fujian Province, South China, which has significant archaeological remains, was dated using blue‐stimulated optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (AMS 14 C) techniques. The results, comprising nine OSL and three AMS 14 C ages through the Neolithic sequence, provide new evidence towards understanding the relationship between environmental evolution and human activities in the middle to late Holocene in the Fuzhou Basin and coastal areas of South China. The ages of the site deposits vary from 6.83 to 1.67 ka and can be divided into two main phases: the Keqiutou–Tanshishan culture period and the Bronze culture period. In contrast, the persistent periods of ancient human activities at the Hengyu site seem to correspond to regional sea‐level changes and the East Asian winter monsoon as a secondary factor, which can affect human activities through sea‐level impacts. The warm and high sea level conditions provided a liveable environment for the ancient humans of Fujian and even South China. The ages of two building column bases are linked to the early stage of the Han dynasty, suggesting a potentially favourable habitation environment; that is, ancient humans occupied and settled this area for the long term within this time period, which is consistent with sea‐level changes and palynology records.

Changes in area and number of nature reserves in China - Zhijun Ma; Ying Chen; David S. Melville; Jun Fan; Jianguo Liu; Jinwei Dong; Kun Tan; Xuefei Cheng; Richard A. Fuller; Xiangming Xiao; Bo Li (Conservation Biology, 2019)
Nature reserves (NR) are the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation. Over the past 60 years, the rapid expansion of NRs in China, one of the world's megadiverse countries, has played a critical role in slowing biodiversity loss. We examined the changes in the number and area of China's NRs from 1956 to 2014 and analyzed the effect of economic development on the expansion of China's NRs from 2005 to 2014 with linear models. Despite a continuing increase in the number of NRs, the total area of China's NRs decreased by 3% from 2007 to 2014. This loss resulted from downsizing and degazettement of existing NRs and a slowdown in the establishment of new ones. Nature reserves in regions with rapid economic development exhibited a greater decrease in area, suggesting that downsizing and degazettement of NRs are closely related to the intensifying competition between economic growth and conservation. For example, boundary adjustments to national NRs, the most strictly protected NRs, along the coast of China's Yellow Sea, a global biodiversity hotspot with a fast‐growing economy, resulted in the loss of one‐third of the total area. One of the most important ecosystems in these NRs, tidal wetlands, decreased by 27.8% because of boundary adjustments and by 25.2% because of land reclamation. Our results suggest conservation achievement, in terms of both area and quality, are declining at least in some regions in the Chinese NR estate. Although the designation of protected areas that are primarily managed for sustainable use has increased rapidly in recent years in China, we propose that NRs with biodiversity conservation as their main function should not be replaced or weakened.
