(Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2022)
The attainment of suitable ambient air quality standards is a matter of great concern for successfully hosting the XXIV Olympic Winter Games (OWG). Transport patterns and potential sources of pollutants in Zhangjiakou (ZJK) were investigated using pollutant monitoring datasets and a dispersion model. The PM 2.5 concentration during February in ZJK has increased slightly (28%) from 2018 to 2021, mostly owing to the shift of main potential source regions of west-central Inner Mongolia and Mongolian areas (2015–18) to the North China Plain and northern Shanxi Province (NCPS) after 2018. Using CO as an indicator, the relative contributions of the different regions to the receptor site (ZJK) were evaluated based on the source-receptor-relationship method (SRR) and an emission inventory. We found that the relative contribution of pollutants from NCPS increased from 33% to 68% during 2019–21. Central Inner Mongolia (CIM) also has an important impact on ZJK under unfavorable weather conditions. This study demonstrated that the effect of pollution control measures in the NCPS and CIM should be strengthened to ensure that the air quality meets the standard during the XXIV OWG.

A novel technique for seabed strata deformation in situ monitoring - Yongqiang Ge; Jiawang Chen; Peihao Zhang; Chen Cao; Xiaoling Le; Jingkun Ai; Peng Zhou; Tao Liang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Seafloor strata deformation monitoring is important for gas hydrate exploitation and the monitoring and early warning of seabed instabilities. Due to the limitation of in situ monitoring technology, existing observations are carried out with geophysical methods to provide basic geomorphological characteristics and stratigraphic structures. However, it is of equal importance to study the in situ evolution mechanism of the process of strata deformation, which relies heavily on long-term in situ observations. An in situ monitoring instrument for seabed strata deformation monitoring is presented. Sufficient theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies were carried out to conduct a mechanical analysis on the entire deployment process of the instrument. The maximum penetration resistance and reaming pressure were calculated during the deployment process, and the stability and feasibility of the deployment method were verified. To validate the maximum penetration resistance obtained and the monitoring performance of the instrument, field tests were conducted on a tidal flat in Changzhi Island. The penetration resistance of the instrument and the strata deformation of the tidal flat were measured and obtained. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the presented instrument.

Stable carbon isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon in the Western North Pacific Ocean: Proxy for water mixing and dynamics - Tiantian Ge; Chunle Luo; Peng Ren; Hongmei Zhang; Di Fan; Hongtao Chen; Zhaohui Chen; Jing Zhang; Xuchen Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The uptake of atmospheric CO 2 and the cycle of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the ocean are the major mechanisms and pathways controlling global climate change and carbon cycling. The stable carbon isotope (δ 13 C) of DIC, therefore, provides an important tracer for processes such as air-sea exchange, photosynthesis, and water dynamics in the ocean. Here, we present new δ 13 C-DIC data on water samples collected from a north-south transect (13°N–40°N, 150°E) in the western North Pacific (NP) Ocean in November 2019 and compare the results with those previously reported for similar transects (149.3°E) during WOCE and CLIVAR projects over the past three decades. The values of δ 13 C-DIC, ranging from -0.83‰ to 0.86‰, were higher in the surface waters and decreased with depth. The high δ 13 C-DIC values in the surface waters were influenced primarily by isotopic fractionation during air-sea exchange and photosynthesis. With depth, the movement of different water masses and mixing, as well as bathypelagic respiration in the dark water of the ocean, all play important roles in influencing the distribution and isotopic signatures of δ 13 C-DIC in the western NP Ocean. The δ 13 C-DIC values of the 0–200 m water layer varied from -0.17‰ to 0.86‰, with lower values at high latitudes, affected by the low δ 13 C-DIC values carried by the Oyashio Current to the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region. A downward trend was present in the δ 13 C-DIC signature from north to south in the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) and Pacific Deep Water (PDW) in the western NP, which reflected the remineralization of organic matter with a horizontal transport of NPIW and PDW. We found a strong 13 C Suess Effect in the upper 2,000 m in the western NP Ocean, and δ 13 C-DIC at the surface (<50 m) has decreased by 0.60‰-0.85‰ since 1993. The mean δ 13 C-DIC change in the surface ocean was estimated at 0.28‰ per decade between 1993 and 2019. The air-sea exchange and water mixing in the study area may have accelerated the absorption of anthropogenic CO 2 in recent years, which likely caused a slightly faster rate of decrease in the δ 13 C-DIC from 2005–2019 than that observed from 1993–2005.

The Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of Heat Flow in Seabed Sediments Based on COMSOL - Peng Zhou; Chunyue Zhang; Jingkun Ai; Yongqiang Ge; Xiaoqing Peng; Qiaoling Gao; Wei Wang; Zhonghui Zhou; Jiawang Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In situ electrothermal conduction heating technology refers to the setting up of a heat source directly within the sediments, using the heat conductivity of the sediments and the heat radiation of the heat source for heat transfer to achieve the in situ heating of the sediments. The in situ electrothermal conduction heating of sediments has the disadvantage of the heating equipment being easily damaged and difficult to operate, and requires the equipment to be able to withstand seawater pressure and marine corrosion. In this paper, based on the combination of numerical simulations (using COMSOL Multiphysics software) and approximate in situ electrothermal conduction heating experiments, the temperature field and other factors of sediments heated by in situ conductive heating (in a specific area) were studied to determine a numerical model for sediment heat flow in a specific area under different pressures and initial temperatures, and the correctness of the numerical model was further verified by comparative experiments. The results of this study have important implications for future studies on the actual thermal properties of sediments and even heat transfer mechanisms during gas hydrate extraction.

Adaptive biomineralization in two morphotypes of Sternaspidae (Annelida) from the Northern China Seas - Meiling Ge; Jing Mo; Jack Chi-Ho Ip; Yixuan Li; Wenge Shi; Zongling Wang; Xuelei Zhang; Qinzeng Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Polychaetes are segmented annelid worms that play a key role in biomineralization in modern oceans. However, little is known about the underlying processes and evolutionary mechanisms. The ventro-caudal shield of Sternaspidae is a typical phosphate biomineral in annelids. Here, we investigated two sternaspids from the northern China Seas, Sternaspis chinensis and Sternaspis liui syn. n, which evolved diverse shield characteristics as local adaptation. Genetic distances, phylogenetic analyses of nuclear markers ( 18S and 28S genes), and mitochondrial genomes revealed that the latter is a junior synonym of the former. The integration of elemental composition and the transcriptomic analysis provided insights into phenotypic shield differences. The electron probe microanalysis showed that shields in S. chinensis were more biomineralized (i.e., with higher iron, phosphorus, and calcium contents) than those in S. liui syn. n. Transcriptomes of the body wall around shields determined 17,751 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in two morphotypes of the synonymous species. Function enrichment analysis of DEGs showed that S. chinensis has an enrichment of the putative biomineralization pathways (i.e., ion transport and calmodulin binding), while S. liui syn. n consumed more energy and produced more proteins (i.e., oxidative phosphorylation and ribosome). DEGs allowed to identify seven shell matrix proteins expressed differentially in the two morphotypes, especially calponin, filamin, chitinase, and protease inhibitor BPTI/kunitz, which might contribute to shield evolutionary plasticity response to their living habitats. Overall, this study 1) revealed an environmental biomineralization adaptation in two polychaete morphotypes of one species by integrating shield chemical composition of shields and transcriptome analyses and 2) provided insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying polychaete biomineralization.

Unraveling environmental drivers of chlorophyll seasonal and interannual variability in the East China Sea - Yi Xu; Ying Wu; Peng Xiu; Jianzhong Ge; Jing Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Phytoplankton, the dominant marine primary producers, are considered highly sensitive indicators of ecosystem conditions and changes. The East China Sea (ECS) includes a variety of oceanic and coastal domains that collectively challenge our understanding of phytoplankton dynamics and controls. This study evaluates the seasonal and interannual variability of phytoplankton in the ECS and the underlying environmental determinants based on 22-year satellite chlorophyll (Chl -a ) data and concurrent environmental variables. A seasonal spring bloom was found in the ECS, classically driven by increased stratification, which is associated with increases in sea surface temperature (SST), photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), net heat flux (NHF), and reduced wind mixing. The most significant Chl -a interannual variability was present in a triangular area surrounded by three SST fronts in the southern ECS during springtime. Anomalously high Chl -a (~30% increase) occurred with increased SST and NHF and enhanced wind mixing during negative Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modes. This seems to be contrary to the stratification control model, which fits the seasonal spring bloom observed in this region. More front activities during the negative PDO and ENSO could be associated with Chl -a increase in this triangular area. Contrary to this mixing control scenario, a significant Chl -a increase (~36% increase) also developed during the positive PDO and ENSO modes after 2014 under conditions of higher SST, NHF, and weaker wind mixing following the stratification control scenario. This study used biologically relevant objective regionalization of a heterogeneous area to elucidate phytoplankton bloom dynamics and controls. Our analyses highlight the triangular area in the ECS for its region-specific linkages between Chl -a and multiple climate-sensitive environmental drivers, as well as the potential structural and functional variability in this region.

Dissolved Organic Carbon Along a Meridional Transect in the Western North Pacific Ocean: Distribution, Variation and Controlling Processes - Tiantian Ge; Chunle Luo; Peng Ren; Hongmei Zhang; Hongtao Chen; Zhaohui Chen; Jing Zhang; Xuchen Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the ocean is one of the largest reduced and exchangeable organic carbon pools on Earth and plays important roles in carbon cycling and biogeochemical processes in the ocean. Here, we report the concentrations and distributions of DOC in water samples collected along a meridional transect in the western North Pacific (NP) Ocean in November 2019. Concentrations of DOC ranged from 33-102 μM, were higher in surface water, decreased rapidly with depth to 1,000 m, and then remained relatively constant. The labile fraction of DOC accounted for 20-40% of the surface bulk DOC and was respired very rapidly in the upper 200 m depth. The semi-labile fraction of DOC accounted for 15-20% of the surface bulk DOC and was exported downward and turned over at water depths of 200-2,000 m. The formation of NP Intermediate Water (NPIW) in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region is a major process carrying some surface semi-labile DOC down. The Low concentrations of DOC (33-44 μM) were present in the entire water column below 1,000 m along the transect in the NP. Primary production and microbial consumption played major roles in the concentration and distribution of DOC in the euphotic zone, and hydrodynamic mixing and circulation of different water masses appear to be dominant factors controlling the distribution and dynamics of DOC in the deep water of the western NP.

Conditions of Mainland China’s Island Ecosystems and Associated Influencing Factors: Integrated Assessment of 42 Typical Island Ecosystems - Zhiyuan Ma; Weiwei Yu; Wanting Zhang; Feiyang Ge; Bin Chen; Wenjia Hu; Dian Zhang; Jianji Liao; Hao Huang; Yuanmin Sun; Haiping Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Although China possesses a large number of islands, knowledge of their overall ecological condition is limited on a national scale. Accordingly, this study developed a comprehensive and quantitative island ecosystem assessment framework that incorporates environmental quality, biological structure, and landscape patterns. The framework was applied to 42 typical, representative islands within China’s coastal regions, including different climatic zones, area sizes, populations, and substratum lithologies. Results showed that the value range of the comprehensive index of island ecosystem condition ( CI island ) was significant (from 52.33 to 89.53, 71.72 average), and 85.4% of islands scored either “high” or “good,” indicative of their exceptional condition. However, conditions varied among different island components, indicating different challenges. Environmental quality index ( I env ) values ranged from 60.70 to 94.80 (79.72 average), where primary threats were seawater nutrient pollution, petroleum, and marine organism metal contamination. Biological structure index ( I bio ) values ranged from 43.50 to 89.40 (66.10 average), where primary threats were vegetation destruction and a reduction in marine biodiversity within intertidal and subtidal zones. Landscape pattern index ( I land ) values varied significantly (from 6 to 100, 72.36 average), where a key characteristic of highly developed islands was low natural landscape (vegetation) coverage. Conditions also varied among island climate zones, lithologies, area sizes, and levels of human habitation. Additionally, island ecosystem conditions were influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors as well as area size, population, and GDP. Although distance to the mainland significantly correlated to ( I bio ), and ( CI island ), these parameters did not significantly correlate to ( I env ), which might be explained by that environmental quality was generally conditional on large-scale environments. This assessment is intended to provide a holistic perspective on island conditions in China while identifying key challenges and associated driving factors, which will greatly aid in establishing island-specific sustainable management practices.

A Method for Identifying the Key Performance Shaping Factors to Prevent Human Errors during Oil Tanker Offloading Work - Renyou Zhang; Huixing Meng; Jun Ge; Henry Tan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Oil tanker offloading is a human-related and high-risk task. A small operational error may trigger catastrophic accidents such as fire and explosion. It is recognised that more than 70% of industrial accidents are blamed for human errors, so preventing them is crucial. As human error is associated with a variety of Performance Shaping Factors (PSFs), it is meaningful to identify key PSFs for safe operations during oil tanker offloading process. However, some issues are obstacles to finding the crucial PSFs. The recording data of most PSFs are always incomplete and imperfect. Moreover, the standard for ranking PSFs should be rational. In addition, the performance of each PSF at the different stages is oil offloading is usually unstable and may change with time. As a result, this study aims to conduct a method that mainly relies on Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), the definition of “Risk” (combination of likelihood and impact), and Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) to find several significant PSFs to prevent human errors. GRA deals with the incomplete and imperfect data; the definition of “Risk” provides a rational basis for ranking PSFs; and HTA gives support for considering the PSFs’ changes at different stages of a task. The proposed approach is tested on a real engineering case of oil tanker offloading work at offshore terminal. The result indicates that the method can be applied to identify key PSFs, which in turn provides recommendations for human error prevention to ensure the safety both on board and at terminal.

Traditionally, transfer RNAs (tRNAs) specifically decoded messenger RNA (mRNA) and participated in protein translation. tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), also known as tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), are generated by the specific cleavage of pre- and mature tRNAs and are a class of newly defined functional small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs). Following the different cleavage positions of precursor or mature tRNA, tRFs are classified into seven types, 5′-tRNA half, 3′-tRNA half, tRF-1, 5′U-tRF, 3′-tRF, 5′-tRF, and i-tRF. It has been demonstrated that tRFs have a diverse range of biological functions in cellular processes, which include inhibiting protein translation, modulating stress response, regulating gene expression, and involvement in cell cycles and epigenetic inheritance. Emerging evidences have indicated that tRFs in extracellular vesicles (EVs) seem to act as regulatory molecules in various cellular processes and play essential roles in cell-to-cell communication. Furthermore, the dysregulation of EV-associated tRFs has been associated with the occurrence and progression of a variety of cancers and they can serve as novel potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. In this review, the biogenesis and classification of tRFs are summarized, and the biological functions of EV-associated tRFs and their roles as potential biomarkers in human diseases are discussed.

Coral Symbiosis Carbon Flow: A Numerical Model Study Spanning Cellular to Ecosystem Levels - Yi Xu; Jing Zhang; Hui Huang; Xiangcheng Yuan; Junxiao Zhang; Jianzhong Ge (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Corals rely on a symbiotic relationship with algae (zooxanthellae), which reside in the host tissue and play a critical role for host metabolism through photosynthesis, respiration, carbon translocation, and calcification. These processes affect coral reefs on different scales from cellular to organismal and ecosystem levels. A process-based dynamic model was developed and coupled with a one-dimensional (1-D) biogeochemical model to describe coral photosynthesis, respiration, and carbon translocation at the cellular level, calcification and ion transport in different coral polyp components (i.e., coelenteron, calcifying fluid) at the organismal level; and the exchange of material between corals and the ambient seawater at the ecosystem level. Major processes controlling the carbon budget in internal symbiosis were identified. For the symbiont, photosynthesis is the primary carbon source and translocation to the host is the major sink. For the host, most of the carbon translocated from the symbiont is lost through mucus leakage. In the host dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) pool, most of the carbon is obtained from the surrounding seawater through uptake; photosynthesis and calcification are the major sinks of DIC. Based on a series of scenario studies, the model produced increase of photosynthesis rate with decline of calcification rate under higher air p CO 2 and associated carbonate chemistry variabilities in different polyp components. The model results support the hypothesis that elevated p CO 2 stimulates photosynthesis, resulting in a reduced supply of DIC to calcification. Such coupled models allow the exploration of process-based mechanisms, complementing laboratory and field studies.

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

Flow Characteristics of Oblique Submerged Impinging Jet at Various Impinging Heights - Di Zhang; Hongliang Wang; Jinhua Liu; Chuan Wang; Jie Ge; Yong Zhu; Xinxin Chen; Bo Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
To study the influence of impinging height H/D on the flow field characteristics of oblique submerged impinging jets, the numerical calculation of an oblique submerged impinging jet was carried out based on Wray–Agarwal (W–A) turbulence model. The jet flow field structure and pressure distribution under various impinging heights (1 ≤ H/D ≤ 8) when the impinging angle was θ = 45° were analyzed. The results show that with the increase in the impinging height, the diffusion degree of the jet gradually increased and the velocity decreased when the jet reached the impingement region, and the distance between the stagnation point (SP) and the geometric center (GC) gradually increased, the flow angle φ along the jet centerline remained constant in the free-jet region and rapidly decreased in the impingement region. The impingement plate pressure distribution at various heights was similar, and the impinging pressure concentration on the upstream side of the maximum pressure point was higher.

Phytoplankton Species Diversity Patterns and Associated Driving Factors in China’s Jiulong River Estuary: Roles That Nutrients and Nutrient Ratios Play - Feiyang Ge; Zhiyuan Ma; Bin Chen; Yu Wang; Xiaoqian Lu; Shenqun An; Dian Zhang; Wanting Zhang; Weiwei Yu; Wenxuan Han; Xingguang Yu; Zhenghua Liu; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Understanding diversity patterns and associated driving factors are the critical topics in macroecology and conservation biology. Phytoplankton are highly susceptible to environmental changes in estuaries, particularly eutrophication. This study examined phytoplankton alpha and beta diversity using investigation data in May (springtime), August (summer) and November (autumn) 2009 in China’s Jiulong River estuary, where it was easily polluted because of considerable discharge from a highly dense human population and low self-purification capacity with its limited river basin area, potentially resulting in eutrophication and then influencing phytoplankton diversity. Potential influencing factors were also explored, including dissolved oxygen, salinity, nutrients, nutrient ratios, geographic and hydrologic distance, and so on. The results indicated that Shannon’s index ( H’ ) and Pielou’s index ( J ) decreased from the estuary’s upper to middle and then increased from middle to lower reaches, Simpson’s ( D ) observed the opposite trend and species number ( S ) gradually increased from the estuary’s upper to lower reaches. For beta diversity, all the indices showed a gradual decrease trend from the estuary’s upper to lower reaches, where also, turnover dominated beta diversity for all seasons. It is noteworthy that the significant roles that nutrients and nutrient ratios played in shaping phytoplankton diversity patterns and the nutrient balance were characterized by excess nitrogen (N) and silicon (Si) and limited phosphorus (P), which could potentially cause diatom blooms. Findings also showed that decreasing Si concentrations can help to reduce overall pollution levels as well as the restoration of the estuary’s ecosystem better than just reducing N alone. Accordingly, this study advocates for the protection of the entire estuary system with particular emphasis on its upper reaches. Moreover, greater attention should also be paid to impacts associated with N input and nutrient ratio trade-offs to the prospective watershed management of this estuary. This study provides a practical approach to explore estuarine diversity in a comprehensive way, which can inform effective biodiversity conservation and also be applied to other marine ecosystems to better guide sustainable management and conservation practices.

A Numerical Study of a Submerged Water Jet Impinging on a Stationary Wall - Bo Hu; Hui Wang; Jinhua Liu; Yong Zhu; Chuan Wang; Jie Ge; Yingchong Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The impinging jet is a classical flow model with relatively simple geometric boundary conditions, and it is widely used in marine engineering. In recent years, scholars have conducted more and more fundamental studies on impact jets, but most of the classical turbulence models are used in numerical simulations, and the accuracy of their calculation results is still a problem in regions with large changes in velocity gradients such as the impact zone. In order to study the complex flow characteristics of the water flow under the condition of a submerged jet impacting a stationary wall, the Wray–Agarwal turbulence model was chosen for the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation study of the impacting jet. Continuous jets with different Reynolds numbers and different impact heights H/D were used to impact the stationary wall, and the results show that the jet flow structure depends on the impact height and is relatively independent of the Reynolds number. With the increase in the impact height, the diffusion of the jet reaching the impact area gradually increases, and its velocity gradually decreases. As the impact height increases, the maximum pressure coefficient decreases and the rate of decrease increases gradually, and the dimensionless pressure distribution is almost constant. In this paper, the flow field structure and pressure characteristics of a continuous submerged jet impacting a stationary wall are explored in depth, which is of great guidance to engineering practice.

Characterization of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Patients’ Gingiva - Mengyu Li; Jiajia Wang; Yejia Yu; Yuqiong Zhou; Yueqi Shi; Wenjie Zhang; Geehun Son; Jing Ge; Jun Zhao; Chi Yang; Shaoyi Wang (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2022)
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a clinical condition that specifically occurs in the oral cavity, characterized by retarded wound healing in oral mucosa accelerating the exposure of bone. Moreover, the pathological mechanism remains poorly understood. Gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) play a critical role in gingival healing and soft tissue regeneration. Although previous studies have showed that bisphosphonates (BPs) are highly toxic to healthy GMSC, there is overall lack of direct evidence demonstrating the characterization of GMSCs derived from BRONJ patients. In present study, we isolated GMSCs for the first time from the central area of BRONJ patients’ gingiva (center-BRONJ GMSCs) and the peripheral area (peri-BRONJ GMSCs), and found that they exhibited decreased proliferation, adhesion, migration capacities and underwent early apoptosis in vitro compared control GMSCs. Notably, the central and peripheral BRONJ GMSCs transplantation in a mice excisional skin model also displayed lower cell survival rate and poor healing effects than that of controls. Mechanistically, TGF-β1 signaling pathway was suppressed not only in BRONJ patients’ gingival lesions but also in BRONJ GMSCs transplantation animal model. The results above suggested that under the microenvironment of BRONJ patients, the dysfunction of GMSCs and the suppressed TGF-β1 signaling pathway may be the vital factors in impaired gingival healing, thus contributing to persistent exposure of underlying bone and development of BRONJ. This study provides new insights into the prevention for BRONJ by improving the functions of GMSCs and upregulating TGF-β1 in accelerating gingival wound healing. Graphical Abstract Schematic illustration of the dysfunction of BRONJ GMSCs in vitro and BRONJ GMSCs transplantation in a mice skin model delaying cutaneous wound healing mainly via suppressing TGF-β1 signaling pathway.

Species Composition and Assemblages of Ichthyoplankton in Sansha Bay, Fujian Province, China - Yan Jiang; Bai-an Lin; Hao-yang He; Guang-mao Ding; Li-ting Yan; Ge Zhang; Min Liu; Lian-ming Zheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Sansha Bay (26.40−27.00°N, 119.50−120.20°E) is a typical semi-enclosed bay, located in northern Fujian Province, China, and adjacent to the East China Sea. The ichthyoplankton species composition and assemblage structure were investigated based on monthly sampling at 25 stations in April−September 2019, covering the important spring and summer spawning seasons in the region. Sampling was conducted in the first 3−5 days of the full moon or new moon phases using a standard plankton net through horizontal and vertical tows during daytime. In total, 25,819 ichthyoplankton samples were collected, of which 25,449 samples (i.e., 24,757 eggs and 692 larvae) were from horizontal tows. For horizontal tow samples, the ichthyoplankton were classified into 58 taxa in 15 orders and 23 families with a combination of external morphology and DNA barcoding analyses, from pelagic to demersal and benthic species. The dominant order was the Gobiiformes, including 23 species (39.7% of all species). The dominant taxa, in terms of relative abundance and frequency of occurrence, consisted of commercially important fishes, such as Setipinna tenuifilis (Valenciennes, 1848) (Engraulidae), Epinephelus akaara (Temminck and Schlegel, 1842) (Serraenidae), Collichthys lucidus (Richardson, 1844), Nibea albiflora (Richardson, 1846) (Sciaenidae), Acanthopagrus schlegelii (Bleeker, 1854), and Pagrus major (Temminck and Schlegel, 1843) (Sparidae), accounting for 78.9% of the horizontal tow samples. Low-valued and small-sized fishes, such as Stolephorus commersonnii Lacepède, 1803 (Engraulidae), Solea ovata Richardson, 1846 (Soleidae), Nuchequula nuchalis (Temminck and Schlegel, 1845), and Photopectoralis bindus (Valenciennes, 1835) (Leiognathidae), were also dominant species, accounting for 11.4% of the horizontal tow samples. The ichthyoplankton assemblage was categorized into five different temporal assemblages based on the cluster and nonmetric multidimensional scaling analysis, namely, April, May, June, July, and August−September (ANOSIM, Global R = 0.656, p < 0.01) with the highest density and richness of ichthyoplankton occurred in May. The spatial distribution pattern showed that the high density (ind./m 3 ) of ichthyoplankton occurred mainly in S12–S25 in Guanjingyang and along the Dongchong Peninsula coastline into Dongwuyang, while low density occurred mainly in S01–S11 in the northwest waters of Sandu Island (ANOVA, F = 8.270, p < 0.05). Temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll a were key factors structuring the ichthyoplankton assemblages in Sansha Bay. In addition, this study revealed the changes of the ichthyoplankton composition, density, and spatial distribution in Sansha Bay over the past three decades.

A Systematic Study on Berthing Capacity Assessment of Sanya Yazhou Fishing Port by Typhoon Prediction Model - Hongli Ge; Zhenlu Wang; Bingchen Liang; Zhaozi Zhang; Zhiduo Yan; Ziwang Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
This paper sheds light on the effect of combination modes on the evaluation of berthing capacity for Sanya Yazhou Fishing Port (SYFP) under hypothetical typhoon conditions. By statistically analysing the maximum probability of moving speeds and directions of historical typhoons passing through the fishing port, the representative typhoon path was determined with the nonparametric regression method. The designed typhoon wind fields of levels 12–17 were generated based on Holland’s parametric wind model. Then, the MIKE 21 BW model was used to obtain the high-precision wave distribution in the fishing port. The boundary conditions (significant wave height and peak period) of the MIKE 21 BW model were calculated by combining the MIKE 21 SW model with the designed typhoon wind fields. In SYFP, ships usually adopt the modes of multi-ship side-by-side and single anchor mooring during typhoons. In fair weather, approximately 158 vessels can be berthed if they are all large ones, while approximately 735 vessels can be moored if they are all small ones. However, with an increase in typhoon levels, the anchoring area for small vessels decreases. From the perspective of wave distribution in the fishing port, the number of large vessels moored was hardly affected by typhoons. This can be attributed to the breakwater, which significantly decreases the large wave height in the fishing port. Finally, a study on the framework of a method for hazard assessment of berthing capacity in the coming typhoon-driven storm waves was set up.

Origin and Spread of the ALDH2 Glu504Lys Allele - Xiaokai Zhang; Aijun Sun; Junbo Ge (Phenomics, 2021)
Gene polymorphism of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a key enzyme for alcohol metabolism in humans, can affect catalytic activity. The ALDH2 Glu504Lys mutant allele has a high-frequency distribution in East Asian populations and has been demonstrated to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and tumors. Available evidence suggests that the evolution of the ALDH2 gene has been influenced by multiple factors. Random mutations produce Glu504Lys, and genetic drift alters the frequency of this allele; additionally, environmental factors such as hepatitis B virus infection and high-elevation hypoxia affect its frequency through selective effects, ultimately resulting in a high frequency of this allele in East Asian populations. Here, the origin, selection, and spread of the ALDH2 Glu504Lys allele are discussed, and an outlook for further research is proposed to realize a precision medical strategy based on the genetic and environmental variations in ALDH2.

Characterization of a novel shrimp pathogen, Vibrio brasiliensis , isolated from Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei - Ge Li; Guosi Xie; Hailiang Wang; Xiaoyuan Wan; Xinshu Li; Chengyin Shi; Ziyan Wang; Miao Gong; Ting Li; Ping Wang; Qingli Zhang; Jie Huang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
A novel pathogenic strain Vibrio 20190611023 was isolated from the hepatopancreas of moribund cultured Penaeus vannamei suffering from black gill disease. This strain was identified as V . brasiliensis based on the phylogenetic analyses of 16S rDNA gene and five other housekeeping genes (i.e., gapA , ftsZ , mreB , topA and gyrB ). Some biochemical features of this strain were determined with an API 20NE system, and its haemolytic activity was determined using a sheep blood agar plate. The pathogenicity of this isolate 20190611023 was confirmed by the experimental challenge tests and histopathological examinations. P. vannamei were challenged via reverse gavage with different doses of bacterial suspensions. The calculated median lethal dose (LD 50 ) was (3.16 ± 1.78) × 10 5 CFU/g (body weight). Moreover, antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed, the results of which showed that the strain 20190611023 was sensitive to chloramphenicol, compound sulphamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline and oxacillin, but resistant to erythromycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, cefoperazone, ceftriaxone, cefamezin and piperacillin. To our knowledge, this is the first report for demonstrating V . brasiliensis as a shrimp pathogen, which expands the host range of V . brasiliensis infection. The present study highlights that more attention should be paid to this novel pathogen in intensive shrimp aquaculture.

SNP Development in Penaeus vannamei via Next-Generation Sequencing and DNA Pool Sequencing - Yongyu Huang; Lili Zhang; Hui Ge; Guodong Wang; Shiyu Huang; Zhangwu Yang (Fishes, 2021)
Next-generation sequencing and pool sequencing have been widely used in SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) detection and population genetics research; however, there are few reports on SNPs related to the growth of Penaeus vannamei. The purpose of this study was to call SNPs from rapid-growing (RG) and slow-growing (SG) individuals’ transcriptomes and use DNA pool sequencing to assess the reliability of SNPs. Two parameters were applied to detect SNPs. One parameter was the p-values generated using Fisher’s exact test, which were used to calculate the significance of allele frequency differences between RG and SG. The other one was the AFI (minor allele frequency imbalance), which was defined to highlight the fold changes in MAF (minor allele frequency) values between RG and SG. There were 216,015 hypothetical SNPs, which were obtained based on the transcriptome data. Finally, 104 high-quality SNPs and 96,819 low-quality SNPs were predicted. Then, 18 high-quality SNPs and 17 low-quality SNPs were selected to assess the reliability of the detection process. Here, 72.22% (13/18) accuracy was achieved for high-quality SNPs, while only 52.94% (9/17) accuracy was achieved for low-quality SNPs. These SNPs enrich the data for population genetics studies of P. vannamei and may play a role in the development of SNP markers for future breeding studies.

Exogenous Glutathione Alleviates Cadmium Toxicity in Wheat by Influencing the Absorption and Translocation of Cadmium - Ge-Zi Li; Shi-Juan Chen; Na-Ying Li; Ying-Ying Wang; Guo-Zhang Kang (Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2021)
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, is harmful to plants and human health. Glutathione (GSH) could alleviate Cd toxicity of plant species, whereas its mechanism responsible for wheat remains poorly understood. Here, we found that exogenous GSH application significantly increased the fresh and dry weight, root elongation, chlorophyll contents, while decreased the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and GSH, and translocation factor of Cd compared with Cd treatment. Moreover, GSH application significantly increased activities of antioxidant enzymes and expression of related genes, which involved in GSH synthesis, especially in roots. In addition, we found that GSH application suppressed Cd-induced expression of metal transporter genes TaNramp1 , TaNramp5 , TaHMA2 , TaHMA3 , TaLCT1 and TaIRT2 in roots. Taken together, our results suggested that GSH could alleviate Cd toxicity in wheat by increasing GSH synthesis gene expression or suppressing Cd transporter genes expression, and further affecting Cd uptake and translocation in wheat plants.

Contrasting pathways of carbon sequestration in paddy and upland soils - Xiangbi Chen; Yajun Hu; Yinhang Xia; Shengmeng Zheng; Chong Ma; Yichao Rui; Hongbo He; Daoyou Huang; Zhenhua Zhang; Tida Ge; Jinshui Wu; Georg Guggenberger; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth, and are characterized by a prominent potential for organic carbon (C) sequestration. By quantifying the plant‐ and microbial‐derived C in soils across four climate zones, we identified that organic C accrual is achieved via contrasting pathways in paddy and upland soils. Paddies are 39%–127% more efficient in soil organic C (SOC) sequestration than their adjacent upland counterparts, with greater differences in warmer than cooler climates. Upland soils are more replenished by microbial‐derived C, whereas paddy soils are enriched with a greater proportion of plant‐derived C, because of the retarded microbial decomposition under anaerobic conditions induced by the flooding of paddies. Under both land‐use types, the maximal contribution of plant residues to SOC is at intermediate mean annual temperature (15–20°C), neutral soil (pH~7.3), and low clay/sand ratio. By contrast, high temperature (~24°C), low soil pH (~5), and large clay/sand ratio are favorable for strengthening the contribution of microbial necromass. The greater contribution of microbial necromass to SOC in waterlogged paddies in warmer climates is likely due to the fast anabolism from bacteria, whereas fungi are unlikely to be involved as they are aerobic. In the scenario of land‐use conversion from paddy to upland, a total of 504 Tg C may be lost as CO 2 from paddy soils (0–15 cm) solely in eastern China, with 90% released from the less protected plant‐derived C. Hence, preserving paddy systems and other anthropogenic wetlands and increasing their C storage through sustainable management are critical for maintaining global soil C stock and mitigating climate change.

Summary Plants harbour highly diverse mycobiomes which sustain essential functions for host health and productivity. However, ecological processes that govern the plant–mycobiome assembly, interactions and their impact on ecosystem functions remain poorly known. Here we characterized the ecological role and community assembly of both abundant and rare fungal taxa along the soil–plant continuums (rhizosphere, phyllosphere and endosphere) in the maize–wheat/barley rotation system under different fertilization practices at two contrasting sites. Our results indicate that mycobiome assembly is shaped predominantly by compartment niche and host species rather than by environmental factors. Moreover, crop‐associated fungal communities are dominated by few abundant taxa mainly belonging to Sordariomycetes and Dothideomycetes, while the majority of diversity within mycobiomes are represented by rare taxa. For plant compartments, the abundant sub‐community is mainly determined by stochastic processes. In contrast, the rare sub‐community is more sensitive to host selection and mainly governed by deterministic processes. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that rare taxa play an important role in fungal co‐occurrence network and ecosystem functioning like crop yield and soil enzyme activities. These results significantly advance our understanding of crop mycobiome assembly and highlight the key role of rare taxa in sustaining the stability of crop mycobiomes and ecosystem functions.

Mapping the relation between cortical convolution and structural/functional brain architectures could provide deep insights into the mechanisms of brain development, evolution and diseases. In our previous studies, we found a unique gyral folding pattern, termed a 3-hinge, which was defined as the conjunction of three gyral crests. The uniqueness of the 3-hinge was evidenced by its thicker cortex and stronger fiber connections than other gyral regions. However, the role that 3-hinges play in cortico-cortical connective architecture remains unclear. To this end, we conducted MRI studies by constructing structural cortico-cortical connective networks based on a fine-granular cortical parcellation, the parcels of which were automatically labeled as 3-hinge, 2-hinge (ordinary gyrus) or sulcus. On human brains, 3-hinges possess significantly higher degrees, strengths and betweennesses than 2-hinges, suggesting that 3-hinges could serve more like hubs in the cortico-cortical connective network. This hypothesis gains supports from human functional network analyses, in which 3-hinges are involved in more global functional networks than ordinary gyri. In addition, 3-hinges could serve as ‘connector’ hubs rather than ‘provincial’ hubs and they account for a dominant proportion of nodes in the high-level ‘backbone’ of the network. These structural results are reproduced on chimpanzee and macaque brains, while the roles of 3-hinges as hubs become more pronounced in higher order primates. Our new findings could provide a new window to the relation between cortical convolution, anatomical connection and brain function.

Examining two sets of introgression lines across multiple environments reveals background-independent and stably expressed quantitative trait loci of fiber quality in cotton - Yuzhen Shi; Aiying Liu; Junwen Li; Jinfa Zhang; Shaoqi Li; Jinfeng Zhang; Liujun Ma; Rui He; Weiwu Song; Lixue Guo; Quanwei Lu; Xianghui Xiang; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2020)
Key message Background-independent (BI) and stably expressed (SE) quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified using two sets of introgression lines across multiple environments. Genetic background more greatly affected fiber quality traits than environmental factors. Sixty-one SE-QTLs, including two BI-QTLs, were novel and 48 SE-QTLs, including seven BI-QTLs, were previously reported. Abstract Cotton fiber quality traits are controlled by QTLs and are susceptible to environmental influence. Fiber quality improvement is an essential goal in cotton breeding but is hindered by limited knowledge of the genetic basis of fiber quality traits. In this study, two sets of introgression lines of Gossypium hirsutum × G. barbadense were used to dissect the QTL stability of three fiber quality traits (fiber length, strength and micronaire) across environments using 551 simple sequence repeat markers selected from our high-density genetic map. A total of 76 and 120 QTLs were detected in the CCRI36 and CCRI45 backgrounds, respectively. Nine BI-QTLs were found, and 78 (41.71%) of the detected QTLs were reported previously. Thirty-nine and 79 QTLs were SE-QTLs in at least two environments in the CCRI36 and CCRI45 backgrounds, respectively. Forty-eight SE-QTLs, including seven BI-QTLs, were confirmed in previous reports, and 61 SE-QTLs, including two BI-QTLs, were considered novel. These results indicate that genetic background more strongly impacts on fiber quality traits than environmental factors. Twenty-three clusters with BI- and/or SE-QTLs were identified, 19 of which harbored favorable alleles from G. barbadense for two or three fiber quality traits. This study is the first report using two sets of introgression lines to identify fiber quality QTLs across environments in cotton, providing insights into the effect of genetic backgrounds and environments on the QTL expression of fiber quality and important information for the genetic basis underlying fiber quality traits toward QTL cloning and molecular breeding.

GPS + Galileo + BeiDou precise point positioning with triple-frequency ambiguity resolution - Pan Li; Xinyuan Jiang; Xiaohong Zhang; Maorong Ge; Harald Schuh (GPS Solutions, 2020)
Along with the rapid development of GNSS, not only BeiDou, but also Galileo, and the newly launched GPS satellites can provide signals on three frequencies at present. To fully take advantage of the multi-frequency multi-system GNSS observations on precise point positioning (PPP) technology, this study aims to implement the triple-frequency ambiguity resolution (AR) for GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou-2 combined PPP using the raw observation model. The processing of inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB) estimation and correction in the context of triple-frequency PPP AR has been addressed, with which the triple-frequency uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) estimation is realized for real GPS observations for the first time. In addition, the GPS extra-wide-line UPD quality is significantly improved with the IFCB correction. Because of not being contaminated by the IFCB, the raw UPD estimation method is directly employed for Galileo which currently has 24 satellites in operation. An interesting phenomenon is found that all Galileo satellites except E24 have a zero extra-wide-lane UPD value. With the multi-GNSS observations provided by MGEX covering 15 days, the positioning solutions of GPS + Galileo + BeiDou triple-frequency PPP AR have been conducted and analyzed. The triple-frequency kinematic GNSS PPP AR can achieve an averaged 3D positioning error of 2.2 cm, and an averaged convergence time of 10.8 min. The average convergence time can be reduced by triple-frequency GNSS PPP AR by 15.6% compared with dual-frequency GNSS PPP AR, respectively. However, the additional third frequency has only a marginal contribution to positioning accuracy after convergence.
