Purpose Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a heterogenous disease with substantial mortality. This study assesses the long-term epidemiologic landscape, demographic disparities, and survival outcomes of HNC. Methods Adult patients with primary HNC were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database by International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) codes. The primary outcomes of this study were overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Secondary outcomes included primary tumor site distributions and rates of surgery by race and ethnicity. Multivariable Cox regression modeling was utilized to determine predictors of all-cause and HNC-specific mortality. Results In this cohort of 117,893 head and neck cancer patients, significant racial and ethnic disparities were observed in tumor site, treatment, and outcomes. Black patients were less likely to receive surgery even when accounting for tumor subsite and stage (OR 0.672, 95% CI 0.641–0.705). Five-year overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS) were lower in all minority groups ( p < 0.001), with Black patients showing the lowest OS (31.3%) and CSS (58.8%). Multivariable analysis confirmed race/ethnicity, low income (HR 1.043, 95% CI 1.018–1.068), and unmarried status (HR 1.327, 95% CI 1.305–1.350) as independent predictors of increased all-cause and HNC-specific mortality. Conclusion In this most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of HNC, we demonstrate profound racial and ethnic disparities in tumor sites, treatments, and survival. This study provides critical evidence to guide health policy, resource allocation, and clinical practice aimed at closing longstanding equity gaps in head and neck cancer care.

Designing ecologically connected marine protected area networks under global change: the Yellow and Bohai Seas, China - Han Dong; Xin Fang; Guodong Li; Fangping Cheng; Jiangning Zeng; Wei Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Accelerating climate change and chronic anthropogenic pressures demand connectivity-based design of marine protected area networks (MPANs). Yet integrating dynamic species responses and cumulative human pressures into spatial planning remains a key challenge, particularly in marginal seas at the land–ocean interface. As a biodiversity hotspot under intensive development, the Yellow and Bohai Seas (YBS) exemplify this complexity, yet how global change will reshape connectivity here remains unclear. Using ensemble species distribution models, we projected suitable habitats for 70 representative marine taxa under present-day conditions and two future scenarios (SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5, representing low- and high-emission Shared Socioeconomic Pathways), generating multi-species natural resistance surfaces. These were combined with an entropy-weighted anthropogenic resistance layer—comprising fishing, shipping, mariculture, and pollution—to produce integrated resistance surfaces (IRS) for each scenario. Circuit theory was then applied to quantify ecological corridors, current density, pinch points, and barriers among 61 MPAs. Our results showed that: (1) climate forcing drove pronounced habitat redistribution, with cold-adapted taxa contracting within the Bohai Sea while warm-adapted species shifted poleward, especially under SSP5-8.5; (2) the IRS intensified overall (mean rising from 1.00 to 1.22), especially in the central-northern Bohai, while the southern Yellow Sea—particularly the central trough influenced by the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM)—retained relatively low resistance, indicating a potential climatological corridor; (3) although total corridor length increased modestly (6,937 to 7,634 km), functional connectivity declined sharply, with Critical Corridors decreasing from 66 to 36 and effective resistance rising by 27%; (4) Grade-1 pinch points expanded by 35% and barrier clusters nearly tripled in area, concentrating where climate-degraded habitats overlap with intense human activities. Together, these drivers create a high-resistance Bohai core and more permeable Yellow Sea margins—a north–south divergence with direct consequences for species persistence and climate-driven range shifts. Embedding global change-adjusted corridor, pinch-point, and barrier metrics into spatial planning is therefore essential for maintaining MPA network resilience in the YBS and other marginal seas.

Alpha‐Lipoic Acid Restored Antioxidant Capacity of Megalobrama amblycephala Inhibited by Ammonia - Xinyu Xiong; Han Zhang; Hui Xiao; Qian Wang; Jinzhu Cen; Mengyang Dai; Canli Wang; Xiangyang Yuan (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
This study assessed recovery of alpha‐lipoic acid (α‐LA) on antioxidant capacity of blunt snout bream ( Megalobrama amblycephala ) juveniles after ammonia stress. Around 270 healthy juveniles (13.7 ± 1.6 g) were separated into three groups and exposed to ammonium chloride solutions at 0 (G1), 5.45 (G2), and 10.89 mg/L (G3). Ammonia stress lasted for 72 h, then all fish were transferred to aerated tap water for the recovery experiment. Each group was further divided into three subgroups, which were fed with three diets with 0, 0.6, and 1.2 g/kg α‐LA, respectively. The recovery experiment also lasted for 72 h. Gill and liver were collected after ammonia stress and recovery for the enzyme activities, histology, gene expression and correlation analysis. The results showed that total antioxidant capacity (T‐AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities of liver and gill in G2 and G3 were significantly lower than G1 ( p p p

Transcriptomic evidence suggesting a Trojan horse‐like synergistic effect in exposures to nanoplastics and benzo[a]pyrene on a yellowfin sea bream muscle derived cell line - Xuezhu Lee; Shina Wei; Kecheng Zhu; Min Guo; Honglin Han; Dikuang Peng; Chuchu Lai; Jiayan Wang; Xinyu Wang; Qiwei Qin; Min Yang; Jun Wang (Journal of Fish Biology, 2026)
In this study, a new cell line named yellowfin sea bream muscle (YSBM) was successfully established by using muscle tissue from yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus latus , a widespread saline fish cultivated in China. The YSBM cell line was subcultured more than 100 passages and appeared to be suitable for researching gene functions in vitro, as it was able to be transfected successfully with pEGFP‐N3 plasmid. Additionally, YSBM cells were found to be susceptible to red‐spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV), suggesting that this cell line can be a valuable resource for fish virology research. Further, YSBM cells were employed in environmental pollutant exposure experiments to investigate the mechanisms of damage caused by these pollutants to muscle tissue of aquatic organisms. We exposed YSBM cells to nanoplastics (NPs), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and a mixture of both, and performed transcriptome analysis on the samples. Our transcriptome analyses revealed discernible variations in the effects on the cells between the groups where BaP and NPs were processed separately. Interestingly, joint treatment with the two pollutants resulted in a synergistic toxicity, an effect reminiscent of the hypothesized ‘Trojan horse’ mechanism, where the mixture of BaP and NPs demonstrated mutually augmenting toxicities on aquatic organisms. Overall, our results suggest that the YSBM cell line could be a valuable tool in aquatic environmental pollution toxicological analysis. It is particularly useful for evaluating the effects of environmental pollutants on fish and their potential impact on humans via the food chain. A graphical abstract is provided to illustrate the methodology and key findings of this study. Thus, our study sheds new light on the potential risks of environmental contaminants and illustrates the usefulness of YSBM cells for environmental toxicology research.

Application of Irrigation Decision‐Making Methods for Smart Irrigation Systems: A Review - Youwei Liu; Haofang Yan; Chuan Zhang; Jianyun Zhang; Guoqing Wang; Desheng Zhang; Rongxuan Bao; Yujing Han (Irrigation and Drainage, 2026)
Smart irrigation systems are used to control, monitor and automatically irrigate fields based on artificial intelligence techniques. Irrigation decision‐making is the core content of smart irrigation systems, which aim to guide efficient irrigation and ensure the sustainable use of water. Traditional irrigation decision‐making methods have encountered difficulties in accessing meteorological data and high sensor costs. Machine learning (ML) models and multisource irrigation strategies are expected to provide more precise and cost‐effective irrigation management. This paper provides an overview of the application of traditional irrigation decision‐making methods in smart irrigation systems and identifies ML models as the key to the transformation from traditional agriculture to smart agriculture. ML models upgrade irrigation management from experience‐based to data‐driven by capturing complex environmental‐crop relationships to optimize water use. However, they face issues such as poor model interpretability, data shortages and barriers to popularization in small‐scale farms. Future work should focus on developing closed‐loop systems by integrating emerging technologies and combining ML models with edge computing, strengthening data privacy protection, and simplifying operational interfaces to unlock their full potential for precise and sustainable irrigation.

Contrasting Effects of Nitrogen Input on Soil Carbon Pools in Arid and Humid Climates - Shibing Jia; Cuihuan Li; Zhenfeng Xu; Bo Tan; Xinglei Cui; Guopeng Liang; Han Li; Li Zhang; Lin Xu; Hongwei Xu; Sining Liu; Lixia Wang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Nitrogen (N) input affects soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics and storage by specifically influencing the light (LFOC) and heavy fractions of organic C (HFOC). While the effects of N input on SOC pools are known, its specific influence in arid and humid regions remains unresolved, although it is critically important to predict carbon–climate feedback and SOC accumulation. We conducted a meta‐analysis of 881 paired observations from 60 studies to quantify the climate‐specific responses of SOC, LFOC, and HFOC contents to N input, thereby revealing distinct effects in arid versus humid regions. N input increased the LFOC content by 25% in arid regions, whereas the HFOC and SOC contents remained unchanged. This LFOC accumulation may reflect increased plant C inputs, suppressed microbial decomposition, and strong physical protection compared with soil without N input. Conversely, in humid regions, N input increased the HFOC and SOC contents by 10%. These increases were associated with the following four mechanisms: (1) increases in plant and microbial necromass production after N input, (2) microbially‐mediated formation of the HFOC from the LFOC, (3) accelerated lignin‐derived C accumulation due to suppressed saprotrophic fungal decomposition, and (4) raised physico–chemical stabilization by various biotic and abiotic mechanisms. Specifically, increases in LFOC content in arid regions occurred under medium to high N input rates (≥ 50 kg N ha −1 year −1 ), whereas increases in HFOC and SOC contents in humid regions occurred only under medium N input (50–100 kg N ha‐1 year −1 ). These increases occurred primarily after periods of N input longer than 5 years and mainly in topsoil (

Demographic and Growth Dynamics Jointly Shape Grassland Productivity Under Extreme Drought - Wang Ma; Jiaxin Hu; Wentao Luo; Xiaotao Lü; Xiaosa Liang; Bingchuan Zhang; Qiang Yu; Xingguo Han; Shinichi Tatsumi; Zhengwen Wang; Yann Hautier (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Understanding how plant communities maintain productivity in arid environments remains a key ecological question. Using two independent 4‐year drought experiments with a 66% reduction in growing season precipitation in a semi‐arid grassland, we found that reductions in plant density and individual size jointly contributed to drought‐induced declines in aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP), and that their relative importance depends on drought duration, intensity, and plant functional group. For graminoids, ANPP decline was primarily driven by reduced individual size, whereas for forbs it was driven by reduced plant density. There was a trade‐off between the contributions of plant density and individual size to productivity, which was mediated by leaf functional traits, including leaf carbon content and leaf nitrogen. Our findings highlight the role of the trade‐off between demographic and growth‐related processes in regulating productivity under climate change.

Improving CWRF Prediction of Summer Monthly Precipitation Over the Yangtze River Basin With Spatio‐Temporal Graph Neural Network - Tao Li; Han Wu; Fang Wang; Shenjun Zhong; Jianjun Xue (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
Accurate summer precipitation forecast over the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) is crucial for flood early warning and effective regional water resource management. The Climate‐Weather Research and Forecasting (CWRF) model is a useful tool for providing across‐season monthly precipitation prediction during flooding season in the YRB, but it still exhibits notable limitations in accurately capturing precipitation variations both spatially and temporally. To alleviate these limitations, a novel deep learning framework utilising a spatio‐temporal graph neural network (GNN) is proposed to improve the prediction skill of CWRF. The result suggests that the proposed GNN model outperforms the existing neural network‐based models across multiple evaluation metrics on precipitation prediction over the YRB. Specifically, GNN achieves the most substantial reduction in root‐mean‐square error across the YRB. It also outperforms other models in terms of temporal correlation coefficient, with overall monthly increases (exceeding 0.1 in June) compared to the raw CWRF output. In terms of anomaly correlation coefficient, GNN shows obvious enhancements, indicating better year‐to‐year consistency. These findings provide valuable guidance for enhancing precipitation forecasts, particularly in regions characterised by complex topography, irregular spatial domains, and diverse climate conditions.

Potential Causes of Anti‐Phase Summer Precipitation Variability Between the Middle and Lower Reaches of the Yangtze River - Yuwei Zhou; Ge Liu; Xiaolu Yan; Sulan Nan; Ting Zhang; Yinghan Sang; Xuefeng Han; Yuhan Feng; Hancheng Zou (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
Summer precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River generally shows synchronous variability and is thus extensively studied as a unified climatic region. However, out‐of‐phase variations occur between the middle and lower reaches in some years. This study investigates the mechanisms of the positive middle Yangtze River precipitation (MYRP)–negative lower Yangtze River precipitation (LYRP) pattern from the perspectives of atmospheric circulation and land‐ocean thermal anomalies. The results suggest that a non‐canonical Silk Road Pattern (SRP) teleconnection in the upper troposphere, coupled with a mid‐to‐lower tropospheric anomalous anticyclone over Northeast Asia and a weakened western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH), contributes to this precipitation pattern. Further analysis reveals that colder‐than‐normal land thermal anomalies in the Greater Caucasus Mountains and the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, as well as warmer‐than‐normal sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the Sea of Japan, may help maintain the SRP‐like Rossby wave train (SLWT), therefore influencing the positive MYRP–negative LYRP pattern. Linear baroclinic model sensitivity experiments further support the identified thermal anomalies can excite and maintain the SLWT. Given that the SLWT differs to some extent from the classical SRP in both wave source and downstream structure, this study also proposes a SLWT index based on 200‐hPa vorticity anomalies. This index effectively captures both the spatial structure of the SLWT and its link with out‐of‐phase precipitation anomalies between the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and may serve as a potential indicator for the occurrence probability of the positive MYRP–negative LYRP pattern. These findings may improve our understanding of regional precipitation mechanisms in the Yangtze River basin, thereby providing a scientific basis for improved disaster prevention and mitigation strategies.

Multi-Objective Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Tethered USV-ROV Cooperative Tracking and Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance - Guochang Zhang; Qinglong Zhao; Sen Cheng; Qianhui Dong; Shuochen Han; Haitao Zhu; Yanyan Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Tethered unmanned surface vehicle (USV) and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems are widely used in deep-sea inspection, observation, and intervention tasks. During cooperative operations, the USV must follow the mission trajectory of the ROV while avoiding surface obstacles and maintaining a prescribed tether-related safety envelope. This study proposes a multi-objective nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) framework for USV-side cooperative tracking and dynamic obstacle avoidance in tethered USV-ROV operations. The framework integrates the predicted three-dimensional ROV trajectory, USV nonholonomic motion, surface-obstacle avoidance, straight-line tether-length-related geometric constraints, and control-smoothness regulation into a unified receding-horizon optimization problem. Sequential Least Squares Programming is used to compute the online control sequence. Numerical simulations include obstacle-free tracking under bounded ocean-current disturbances and heterogeneous surface–underwater obstacle scenarios. The results show that the proposed controller provides improved tracking performance and maintains the straight-line tether-length proxy below the prescribed limit in the tested simulations. The current-disturbance results further indicate preliminary disturbance-rejection capability under bounded time-varying ocean currents. The study provides a controller-level numerical framework for cooperative tracking and surface obstacle avoidance in tethered USV-ROV operations.

Changes in Food Web Structure of Hongze Lake During Different Periods of the Eastern Route of the China’s South-to-North Water Diversion Project - Xinlei Yang; Zhining Shi; Han Liu; Wentong Xia; Xiao Qu; Yushun Chen (Fishes, 2026)
As the largest inter-basin water diversion project in eastern China, the Eastern Route of China’s South-to-North Water Diversion Project (ER-SNWDP) plays a crucial role in alleviating water shortages and ensuring regional ecological security. However, large-scale water diversion that uses natural lakes as impounded lakes across different basins has impacted on the structure and function of the original ecosystems. To explore the changes in the food web and ecosystem structure of the impounded lakes during different operation periods of the ER-SNWDP, we constructed Ecopath models for Hongze Lake in 2010–2011 (pre-operation), 2017–2018 (initial operation), and 2023–2024 (operational period). Our results showed that the trophic energy flow in Hongze Lake was dominated by the detrital food chain, with the highest trophic level ranging from 3.06 to 3.50. Energy flows at trophic levels I and II accounted for a high proportion of the total throughput, and the interactions between trophic levels were relatively simple, indicating that Hongze Lake is approaching a mature ecosystem. Compared with the pre-operation period, the average trophic level, food chain length, and energy conversion efficiency of Hongze Lake declined during the initial operation period, but rebounded during the operational period, though still remaining lower than the pre-operation period. Ecosystem stability followed a similar trajectory: the total primary production/total respiration (TPP/TR) and the system omnivory index (SOI) indicated that ecosystem maturity decreased during the initial operation and increased during the operational period. Fishing activities had negative effects on most functional groups during the pre-operation and initial operation periods, whereas the negative effects from zooplankton and non-native species groups increased during the operational period. Based on changes in the food web structure and ecosystem of Hongze Lake across different water diversion periods, we suggest that the management of Hongze Lake should establish precautionary fishing management measures targeting the effects of filter-feeding functional groups and non-native species, optimize the species and quantities of restocking initiatives, prioritize the protection of critical habitat integrity, and implement long-term ecological monitoring.

Pseudostellaria heterophylla Extract Enhances the Immune Responses in Larimichthys crocea Against Pseudomonas plecoglossicida Infection - Kun Huang Han; Zi Min Li; Li Zhou; Dong Ling Zhang; Ying Li; Zhao Han Sun; Jia Chen; Zhi Deng Lin; Yan Bin Dai; Peng Fei Zou (Fishes, 2026)
Visceral white spot disease caused by Pseudomonas plecoglossicida poses a severe threat to large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) aquaculture. This study investigated the immunomodulatory effects and underlying mechanisms of Pseudostellaria heterophylla extract against P. plecoglossicida infection in L. crocea. Fish were fed a basal diet supplemented with 1% P. heterophylla extract for 30, 45, and 60 days, followed by intraperitoneal injection with 200 μL P. plecoglossicida (1 × 104 CFU/mL). When the control group reached about 50% mortality, transcriptome sequencing of head kidney tissues was performed on the 45 and 60 days post-feeding of the treatment groups to analyze gene expression changes following bacterial infection. Survival rates of the treatment groups were 33.33%, 13.33%, and 20% higher than those of the control group at 30, 45, and 60 days post-feeding, respectively. Transcriptomic analysis revealed time-dependent transcriptional responses: in one group, 45 days post-feeding, 10 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified (2 up-regulated and 8 down-regulated), whereas in another group, 60 days post-feeding, 893 DEGs were detected (417 up-regulated and 476 down-regulated). Functional enrichment analysis (GO, KEGG, and GSEA) demonstrated that DEGs were significantly enriched in immune-related pathways, including Toll-like receptor signaling, chemokine activity, Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, hematopoietic cell lineage, and cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction. Key immune genes, including chemokines, Toll-like receptors, and T cell regulators, were significantly up-regulated. These findings indicate that P. heterophylla extract enhances both the specific and non-specific immune capabilities of L. crocea in a time-dependent manner, with prolonged supplementation eliciting more robust transcriptional activation of immune defense pathways. This study provides a scientific foundation for developing immunological prevention strategies against P. plecoglossicida infection in aquaculture.

An integrated shoelace–power law preprocessing workflow for supporting ship-specific wind load assessment during berthing - Liang Ma; Yanru Han; Yuanyuan Chen; Zhenkai Huang; Yu Zhang; Liang Cao; Jianing Dan; Zhaorui Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Wind loads are critical safety concerns for ship berthing and mooring operations in ports. Existing standard methods for wind load assessment often adopt simplified geometric assumptions and fixed wind shear parameters, lacking ship-specific and loading-adaptive capabilities which hinders the practical implementation of the One Ship One Calculation (OSOC) concept in ship wind load assessment. This study proposes an integrated Shoelace-Power Law Model (S-PLM) as a preprocessing workflow for ship windage geometry analysis and height-consistent equivalent wind speed estimation. The workflow combines polygon area calculation via the shoelace algorithm, loading-dependent geometric centroid calculation, and power-law-based vertical wind speed conversion. Validation against the OCIMF standard method shows better agreement in windage area (MAPE = 0.63%) and acceptable deviations in equivalent wind speed across different vessels and loading conditions. Sensitivity analysis of the power-law exponent (α = 0.10–0.25) confirms controllable parameter influence on model outputs. The proposed S-PLM provides reliable, ship-specific preprocessing inputs for subsequent wind load evaluation, supporting refined operational risk assessment during berthing.

Determining Reference Intervals of Serum Biochemical Parameters in Juvenile Hybrid Snakehead Channa argus & C. maculata in Mesocosm - Jian Ge; Siyu Jiang; Lisha Yuan; Haichuan Chen; Qinghao Jin; Dong Han; Jian Wang (Fishes, 2026)
Hybrid snakehead (Channa argus × Channa maculata) is a major cultured freshwater fish in China, but standardized health monitoring using serum biochemistry is limited by the lack of species-specific reference intervals. This study established reference intervals for 20 serum biochemical parameters in hybrid snakehead reared under 27 °C for 90 days. The body weights of the sampled fish ranged from 50 g to 160 g and were exempted from diseases by health check. All parameters were measured using an automated analyzer with commercial reagent kits. Most parameters exhibited non-normal, right-skewed distributions, and only total protein (TP) was normally distributed. Smoothed bootstrap resampling and kernel density estimation were applied to extract the main peak distribution and reduce bias from outliers and long tails. Species-specific reference intervals were established based on the main peak data, providing more reliable physiological baselines than conventional percentiles. Correlation analysis revealed coordinated changes among liver function, nutrient metabolism, tissue damage, and digestive enzymes. These results provide a standardized tool for health assessment, subclinical disease diagnosis, and comparative analysis in juvenile hybrid snakehead maintained at an optimal temperature in indoor mesocosm systems.

Emerging metabolic hormone therapeutics for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: incretin-based drugs, fibroblast growth factor analogs, and liver-targeting strategies - Sukwoo Han; Jaehee Shin; Jae Cheon Kim; Dong Hee Na (Journal of Pharmaceutical Investigation, 2026)
Background As the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) continues to rise, drug development has accelerated, with growing interest in therapeutic strategies that harness metabolic hormones. Metabolic hormone-based approaches, particularly those originally developed for obesity and diabetes, have shown potential to mitigate MASH. Notably, the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist semaglutide received accelerated approval for MASH in 2025. In addition, GLP-1R-based multi-agonists and candidates leveraging the metabolic actions of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21 are in active clinical development for liver disease. Area covered This review provides an overview of metabolic hormone-based therapies, including incretin-based drugs and FGF analogs, that are currently under clinical development for MASH. It also discusses liver-targeting strategies to achieve selective hepatic delivery, which may vary according to the expression of liver-specific receptors and fibrosis degree. Expert opinion Within the MASH therapeutic landscape, incretin-based therapies are evolving from GLP-1R mono-agonist to multi-agonist approaches that aim to combine weight loss-mediated benefits with mechanisms that directly modulate hepatic lipid handling and inflammation. Moreover, the therapeutic actions of metabolic hormones in MASH, together with the expression profiles of their corresponding receptors, play a critical role in determining targeting strategies. Stage-specific and liver-selective delivery strategies will likely distinguish next-generation candidates. This review summarizes the pharmacological mechanisms and delivery strategies of each agent class and further explores these receptors as potential targets to inform the development of precision therapeutic approaches.

Ethanol extract of the freshwater green alga Prasiola japonica attenuates hair loss and promotes hair growth in a testosterone-induced hair loss model - Yun Soo Cho; Sang Hee Park; Han Soo Kang; Dong Seon Kim; Ji Hye Yoon; Sieun Yoon; Natasha Christabella Sutopo; Ha Jin Noh; Dong Sam Kim; Jae Youl Cho (Algae, 2026)
Prasiola japonica is a freshwater green alga distributed in Northeast Asia. This study investigated the effects of 70% ethanol extract of P. japonica (Pj-EE) under testosterone-induced hair loss conditions using C57BL/6 mice and human dermal papilla (HDP) cells. Topical application of Pj-EE promoted hair regrowth, increased hair length, and enhanced follicular density and activity in vivo. Pj-EE treatment also partially restored hair type distribution by reducing the proportion of zigzag hairs and increasing guard and awl hairs. Although these effects were less pronounced than those observed with minoxidil, consistent improvements were detected across multiple parameters. Mechanistic studies showed that Pj-EE inhibited 5α-reductase activity and reduced dihydrotestosterone (DHT) production in HDP cells, accompanied by downregulation of androgen receptor expression. Additionally, Pj-EE decreased proapoptotic Bax levels while increasing proliferation-associated markers (Ki67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen) and the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 in a dose-dependent manner. Functionally, Pj-EE enhanced HDP cell proliferation and migration and attenuated testosterone-induced apoptotic responses, indicating improved follicular cell viability under androgen-stimulated conditions. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis based on comparison with an authentic phytol standard identified phytol as a representative constituent of Pj-EE, and its high abundance was associated with 5α-reductase inhibitory activity. Collectively, these findings suggest that Pj-EE may attenuate androgen-responsive hair loss conditions by modulating 5α-reductase/DHT signaling and supporting follicular cell proliferation and survival in a testosterone-induced model.

Chrs-Net: A Dual-Stream YOLO Network for Underwater RGB–Sonar Object Detection - Chuheng Zhang; Hongli Xu; Pangyi Xiao; Han Wang; Jingyu Ru; Hongxu Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Underwater RGB–sonar object detection remains challenging due to severe optical degradation, strong sonar noise, and spatial misalignment between heterogeneous modalities. Existing multimodal detectors usually rely on simple feature aggregation or limited structural coupling, which cannot effectively model global cross-modal dependencies or address modality-specific degradation. To address these challenges, we propose Chrs-Net, a YOLOv12-based dual-stream framework for underwater RGB–sonar object detection. The proposed network integrates three key components: a Transformer-based Cross-Modal Communication Fusion module (C-mcf) for global cross-modal interaction and semantic alignment, a Multi-Layer Feature Enhancement module (MLFE) for degraded optical feature enhancement, and a Pinwheel-Shaped Convolution module (PConv) for sonar-side structural feature extraction. In addition, an RGB–sonar object detection dataset is constructed for experimental evaluation by relabeling part of the RGBS benchmark, combining simulator-collected samples, and introducing style-transfer-based augmentation to improve data diversity. Experiments on the constructed dataset yield 94.91% mAP@0.5 and 61.10% mAP@0.5:0.95 on the RGB branch, and 94.00% and 57.13% on the sonar branch, respectively, with an inference speed of 53.6 FPS. Compared with representative single-modality and multimodal detectors, Chrs-Net consistently yields superior detection accuracy and localization performance. These results demonstrate that the combination of global cross-modal communication and modality-specific enhancement is effective for robust underwater RGB–sonar object detection in complex environments.

Molecular phylogeny and fossil records reveal the origin and evolutionary history of deep-sea Ophiuroidea - Han Yan; Zhongli Sha; Shao’e Sun (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Introduction The evolutionary history and biogeographic assembly of deep-sea Ophiuroidea remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to clarify the origin, spatial evolution, and long-term assembly of deep-sea ophiuroid diversity through an integrative framework. Methods We integrated multiple lines of evidence, including fossil paleogeography, taphonomic-control analyses, global biogeographic regionalization, directional dispersal asymmetry, time-calibrated molecular phylogenetic analysis, quantitative assessment of species diversification rates, and ancestral-area reconstruction. Results Fossil paleogeographic reconstructions reveal that early ophiuroid occurrences were mainly associated with shallow continental margins at low to middle paleolatitudes, followed by broader spatial expansion during the Paleozoic and a pronounced western Tethyan signal during key Mesozoic intervals. Taphonomic-control analyses show that this western Tethyan concentration remained evident after accounting for preservation opportunity, supporting the importance of this region in the historical distribution of Ophiuroidea. Analyses of extant deep-sea Ophiuroidea show that modern diversity is concentrated mainly in the Indo-Pacific, southwestern Pacific region, and the Gulf of Mexico tropical western Atlantic. Directional dispersal analyses further indicate compositional asymmetry among regions, with a strong western southern Pacific influence at the whole deep-sea scale. Depth-stratified regionalization reveals marked faunal differentiation in the mid-bathyal zone, followed by broader cross-basin connectivity in the lower bathyal and abyssal zones. Molecular dating suggests that deep-sea-associated ophiuroid lineages began to diverge in the late Paleozoic, whereas ancestral-area reconstruction highlights the importance of the Indo-Pacific region in the later biogeographic history of the sampled taxa. Diversification analyses indicate a non-constant evolutionary tempo, with temporal signals broadly consistent with repeated environmental restructuring and post-extinction ecological recovery. Conclusion Overall, these results suggest that deep-sea ophiuroid diversity was assembled through a multi-stage and multi-regional process involving ancient Tethyan historical signals, later Indo-Pacific and Pacific-centered accumulation, depth-dependent connectivity, and recurrent ecological reorganization through geological time.

Curvature and Slope Control on Turbidity Currents and Sedimentation in Submarine Channels: A Numerical Study - Xinhao Wen; Yuechuan Han; Rui Zhu; Enxian Liu; Xiyan Lin; Yuchen Zhang; Yi Zhao; Yuhui Zhang; Jiajun Feng; Dongmei Tian (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Submarine channels are critical conduits for sediment transport by turbidity currents, yet the quantitative influence of channel geometry on flow dynamics and sediment segregation remains poorly understood. Based on computational fluid dynamics, we constructed six three-dimensional numerical models of submarine channels with varying curvatures (R1–R3) and axial slopes (R4–R6) using ANSYS Fluent 17.2, with model settings informed by seafloor morphology from the South China Sea. The Eulerian–Eulerian multiphase model coupled with the standard k-ε turbulence model was used to simulate density fields, velocity structures, and sediment distributions. Results show that low-curvature channels exhibit symmetric density evolution and uniform sediment distribution, whereas high curvature induces pronounced asymmetry with a steep outer-bank density front and triggers secondary flow reversal. Increasing curvature also enhances flow thickness and radial mass flux. Increasing axial slope markedly elevates downstream velocity (0.09 to 0.16 m/s), reduces flow thickness, and shifts sediment distribution toward the inner bank without inducing secondary flow reversal. This study provides a parametric comparison of curvature versus slope effects on turbidity current dynamics and sedimentation patterns under fixed-bed, rectangular-channel assumptions. The findings offer a qualitative reference for interpreting sedimentary architectures in deep-water systems such as those in the South China Sea and analogous rift basins. Results are hypothesis-generating, pending further validation with field data and morphodynamic modeling.

Spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and eutrophication status of nutrients in Qinzhou Bay, South China Sea over the past 22 years - Yatong Han; Yan Deng; Chaoxing Ren; Guilan Gao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Introduction Elevated nitrogen and phosphorus inputs from human activities have driven coastal eutrophication. Although Qinzhou Bay has long been influenced by anthropogenic disturbances, long-term systematic studies on its nutrient dynamics remain scarce. Methods Based on long-term monitoring data spanning 22 years (2003-2024), this study systematically elucidates the interannual trends, spatiotemporal distribution patterns, and eutrophication status of nutrients in Qinzhou Bay. Results The concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphate (DIP) showed an overall upward trend amid interannual fluctuations, yet were characterized by markedly distinct, phase-specific dynamics. The average DIN concentration was at its lowest during 2003-2005, increased sharply over the subsequent seven years, then exhibited a clear declining trend from 2014 to 2022. In the most recent two years, however, the concentration rose again, reaching the peak level for the entire period. The average DIP concentration remained at the lowest level from 2003 to 2014, followed by a marked increase during 2015-2020. Notably, a substantial rise in DIP concentration occurred again in the recent period from 2021 to 2024. Spatially, the distributions of nitrogen and phosphorus were highly overlapping, both showing a decreasing gradient from the inner to the outer bay, with a more pronounced gradient for nitrogen. Principal component analysis confirmed that terrestrial input is the primary driver controlling nutrient distribution. Eutrophication assessment indicated that the bay-head area remained in a eutrophic state for 18 of the past twenty-two years. Discussion These regular changes in nutrients are closely related to the historical development of China's economy and environmental governance. This study provides a long-term case for understanding the historical evolution of nutrients in key bays, and complements the comparative understanding with existing long-term studies.

Compression Therapy in Human Body Applications: A Systematic Review from Principles to Practice - Pengfei Han; Malte Asseln; Gabrielle Tuijthof; Izadyar Tamadon (Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2026)
Compression therapy is a common approach of managing diverse pathologies by application of controlled pressure to the body. However, existing studies have investigated compression therapy within individual pathologies. This gap makes it difficult to translate clinical findings into general design principles for compression devices. Therefore, this review synthesizes and assesses existing literature on the biomechanical effects, theoretical models, and characteristics of compression for three representative pathologies, namely Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), edema, and ligament injury, aiming to identify cross-pathological overarching insights that provide unified principles for compression device design. The literature review was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and a combination of four search strings to retrieve peer-reviewed studies. Eighty-six studies were included addressing the effects and characteristics of compression (CVI: 10, edema: 20, ligament injury: 25) and theoretical models of compression (31 studies). Across three pathologies, overarching insights were identified. First, compression produces three main effects: reducing transmural pressure, increasing interstitial pressure, and increasing joint stiffness. Second, theoretical models collectively show that compression regulates geometry, fluid balance, and stiffness of tissue. Third, therapeutic effects depend on compression characteristics such as mode of operation (static or dynamic), distribution (cyclical, graduated, or uniform), pressure level, and location of compression. This review provides a novel perspective for developing more effective and versatile compression devices in the future.

A Physics-Informed Non-Markovian Deep Learning Model for Robust Ship Motion Prediction Under Non-Ideal Observations - Xinyu Guo; Runze Mao; Peihua Han; Zhicheng Li; Houxiang Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
High-fidelity ship dynamics models are essential for the reliable operation of maritime autonomous systems. However, existing Markov-based maneuvering models and purely data-driven predictors struggle to capture hydrodynamic memory and degrade under non-ideal sensing. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel approach for robust ship motion prediction, the Non-Markovian Memory-Augmented Environment-Perceived and Physics-Informed Network (NMA-EPIN). This method explicitly models long-term hydrodynamic dependencies through a memory-augmented architecture. Within NMA-EPIN, a Control-Physics-Informed Neural Network (CPINN) paradigm enforces velocity–position kinematic consistency and control-logic alignment as soft constraints, suppressing cumulative drift under degraded observations. Experiments on a high-fidelity simulated dataset show that NMA-EPIN attains an average coefficient of determination R2=0.977 under nominal conditions, effectively eliminating the position drift observed in baselines. Under extreme compound perturbations (50% sensor noise, packet loss, and delays), NMA-EPIN retains R2≈0.91, which significantly outperforms the baselines.

Governing the digital transition: the role of protection and indemnity associations in China’s green and sustainable maritime transformation - Tiexiong Wang; Nan Jiang; Salvatore Antonio Biancardo; Min Zhang; Shiwen Zhu; Han Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Under the backdrop of data-driven maritime era and the shipping industry’s green and low-carbon transition, the China Shipowners’ Mutual Assurance Association is confronted with unclear legal status, insufficient operational capacity and delayed internationalization. Emerging risks including shore power, alternative fuels and emission control have posed systemic challenges to its traditional governance framework, with risk scenarios expanding from navigation to port berthing and liability identification shifting from single party to multi-party coordination. While digital tools like big data and AI are reshaping risk assessment and governance paradigms internationally, this paper adopts methodologies of legal characteristic analysis, comparative study of domestic and international practices, and case studies to clarify the core roles of Protection and Indemnity Associations (P&I Clubs) in areas such as accident investigation, oil pollution claims, and security provision. The findings indicate that international P&I clubs have formed mature governance and risk-sharing mechanisms, while Chinese counterparts are hampered by legislative gaps, traditional risk control models, incomplete global networks and limited international influence. To address these gaps and position the association to leverage future data-centric governance models, this study puts forward a four-pronged strategy based on institutional construction, capacity building and international expansion: formulating special legislation, advancing digital transformation and talent training, and participating in the formulation of technical standards and international rules to boost green port governance collaboration. This will help the association transform from passive adaptation to active leadership, so as to support the high-quality, data-aware, and sustainable development of China’s shipping industry.

Chitin Synthase Is Critical for Epidermal Chitin Deposition and Molting in the Swimming Crab Portunus trituberculatus - Yaoyao Han; Xi Xie; Dongfa Zhu (Fishes, 2026)
Chitin synthase (CHS) catalyzes the final polymerization step in chitin biosynthesis and is therefore central to cuticle formation in arthropods. In this study, a chitin synthase gene from the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus (PtCHS) was identified and functionally characterized in relation to epidermal formation and molting. The open reading frame of PtCHS was 4731 bp and encoded a predicted protein of 1576 amino acids belonging to glycosyltransferase family 2. Domain prediction revealed multiple transmembrane helices, a conserved chitin-synthase catalytic region, a coiled-coil region, and the diagnostic EDR, QRRRW, and SWGTRE motifs. Phylogenetic analysis assigned PtCHS to the class A/CHS1 chitin synthase lineage, and two alternative splice variants, designated PtCHS1a and PtCHS1b were detected. PtCHS transcripts were broadly distributed across examined tissues, with comparatively high abundance in the Y-organ, midgut, ovary, and epidermis. During the molting cycle, epidermal PtCHS expression increased during premolt, reached its highest level in postmolt stages, and declined during intermolt. During embryonic development, PtCHS expression remained relatively stable until late embryogenesis and then increased sharply before hatching. RNA interference-mediated knockdown of PtCHS reduced the expression of key chitin-biosynthesis genes, decreased epidermal chitin content, prolonged the molting interval, and was associated with molting failure and increased mortality. Conversely, unilateral eyestalk ablation induced PtCHS and molting-related genes, increased epidermal chitin content, shortened the molting interval, and promoted histological features consistent with enhanced extracellular matrix deposition and epidermal biosynthesis. These findings indicate that PtCHS is indispensable for epidermal chitin deposition and successful molting in P. trituberculatus, and provide a molecular basis for understanding molting regulation in economically important portunid crabs.
