(European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2023)
We describe the opportunistic infections (OIs) of HIV/AIDS to understand the spectrum, mortality, and frequency of multiple coinfected OIs among HIV/AIDS patients in southern China, where OIs are severe. We carried out a retrospective cohort study of hospitalized HIV-infected individuals at the Fourth People’s Hospital of Nanning, Guangxi, China, from Jan. 2011 to May. 2019. The chi-square test was used to analyze cross-infection; the Kaplan‒Meier analysis was used to compare mortality. A total of 12,612 HIV-infected patients were admitted to this cohort study. Among them, 8982 (71.2%) developed one or more OIs. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 9.0%. Among the patients, 35.6% coinfected one OI, and 64.4% coinfected more than two OIs simultaneously. Almost half of the patients (60.6%) had CD4 + T-cell counts < 200 cells/μL. Pneumonia (39.8%), tuberculosis (35.3%), and candidiasis (28.8%) were the most common OIs. Coinfected cryptococcal meningitis and dermatitis are the most common combined OIs. The rate of anaemia (17.0%) was highest among those common HIV-associated complications. Multiple OIs are commonly found in hospitalized HIV/AIDS patients in southwestern China, which highlights the need for improved diagnosis and treatment.

Model errors of an intermediate model and their effects on realistic predictions of El Niño diversity - Lingjiang Tao; Wansuo Duan; Lin Jiang (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
In the present study, a nonlinear forcing singular vector (NFSV)‐based data assimilation approach is adopted to quantify the model errors of an intermediate coupled model (ICM) and their effects on El Niño predictions. Then, the tendency errors of the NFSV structure (NFSV‐TEs) that represent the combined effect of different kinds of model errors are determined in terms of the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly component in the El Niño predictions. The NFSV‐TEs exhibit large values over the eastern equatorial Pacific and on model boundaries, indicating that large model errors exist there. In addition, two dominant NFSV‐TEs are found: one is E‐type that NFSV‐TEs are mostly located in the far eastern Pacific, and the other is the D‐type that presents positive anomalies in the eastern equatorial Pacific (EQeast‐TEs) and negative anomalies in the central equatorial Pacific (EQcenter‐TEs). The D‐type NFSV‐TEs often occur during realistic predictions of El Niño events. Simulations using the ICM equipped with the NFSV‐TEs are then implemented to study the effect of NFSV‐TEs on the ENSO predictions. It is shown that the ICM forced by the EQeast‐TEs shows better performance in reducing prediction errors and systematic bias, while the EQcenter‐TEs forcings are superior to the EQeast‐TEs forcings in reproducing the horizontal distribution of the SST anomaly, especially in identifying the difference between the central tropical (CP) and eastern tropical (EP) El Niño. This is because EQcenter‐TEs forcings can adjust not only the wind but also the ocean processes to yield realistic air‐sea conditions favouring CP‐El Niño formulations. Therefore, to make a better prediction of CP‐El Niño, the model uncertainties occurring in the central tropical Pacific should be considered preferentially and finally removed in realistic predictions of El Niño diversity.

Aloe polysaccharide promotes osteogenesis potential of adipose-derived stromal cells via BMP-2/Smads and prevents ovariectomized-induced osteoporosis - Xue-wei Yao; He-dong Liu; Mao-xian Ren; Tian-lin Li; Wen-kai Jiang; Zhi Zhou; Zhi-yi Liu; Min Yang (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Background Aloe polysaccharide (AP) is a type of an active macromolecule of Aloe vera, which contributes to its function. However, whether AP possesses anti-osteoporosis properties is unknown. Methods Adipose-derived stromal cells were treated with different concentrations of AP. Early and late osteogenesis were, respectively, evaluated by ALP and Alizarin Red S staining. The effect of AP on the processes of adipogenesis inhibition in ADSCs was analyzed by oil red O staining. Western blot was used to assess the expression of osteogenic and adipogenic related factors. Then, Noggin was administered to further confirm the mechanism by which AP promotes the osteogenesis of ADSCs. Finally, 40 female SD rats were classified into a bilateral laparotomy group (Sham group) and three bilateral ovariectomy groups: OVX group, OVX + AP group, and OVX + AP + Noggin group. The bilateral rat femurs were collected to perform micro-CT scanning, HE, Masson trichrome, and Oil red O staining. Results The results indicated that AP could increase ALP expression and calcium deposition. Through molecular mechanisms, AP promotes the protein expression of COL1A1, OPN, and ALP in ADSCs, but downregulates the expression of PPARγ. Also, AP directs ADSCs’ fate by stimulating the BMP2/Smads signaling pathway. In vivo, the rat AP-treated had more trabecular bone than the OVX rat, indicating partial protection from cancellous bone loss after treatment with AP. Conclusion Our results show that AP may promote osteogenesis of ADSCs through BMP-2/Smads signaling pathway and inhibits lipogenic differentiation. Thus, AP might be a promising alternative medicine to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Comparison of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on platelet function and prognosis in unstable angina - Chun Li; Ming Liu; Weixiang Chen; Tingbo Jiang; Lin Ling (European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2022)
Purpose This study aims to compare the effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on platelet function, cardiovascular prognosis, and bleeding in patients with unstable angina pectoris. Methods Patients with unstable angina pectoris undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled (January 2018–December 2019). In total, 212 patients were treated with ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily) and 210 patients were treated with clopidogrel (75 mg once daily). Thromboelastography and light transmission aggregometry were used to measure the platelet aggregation rate (PAR). High-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT), pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), and heart-type fatty acid–binding protein (h-FABP) were measured to assess myocardial injury after PCI. Cardiovascular prognosis and bleeding events were evaluated in hospital and 12 months after discharge. Results The PAR was significantly slower with ticagrelor ( P < 0.001). hs-TnT, NT-proBNP, CRP, and h-FABP increased after compared with before PCI in both groups ( P < 0.05). hs-TnT ( P < 0.001) and h-FABP ( P < 0.001) increased more significantly with clopidogrel. The in-hospital and 12-month major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) rates were not significantly different between the two groups. The in-hospital total bleeding event rate was higher with ticagrelor ( P < 0.05). Minor bleeding and total bleeding were more frequent at the 12-month follow-up in the ticagrelor group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Ticagrelor was more effective in suppressing the PAR than clopidogrel and reduced PCI-induced myocardial injury in patients with unstable angina pectoris. However, it increased in-hospital and 12-month bleeding events and had no benefit on in-hospital and 12-month MACEs.

Nitrogen enrichment alters multiple dimensions of grassland functional stability via changing compositional stability - Qianna Xu; Xian Yang; Jian Song; Jingyi Ru; Jianyang Xia; Shaopeng Wang; Shiqiang Wan; Lin Jiang (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment is known to alter the composition and functioning of plant communities. However, how nutrient enrichment influences multiple dimensions of community‐ and ecosystem‐level stability remains poorly understood. Using data from a nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) addition experiment in a temperate semi‐arid grassland that experienced a natural drought, we show that N enrichment, not P enrichment, decreased grassland functional and compositional temporal stability, resistance and recovery but increased functional and compositional resilience. Compositional stability and species asynchrony, rather than species diversity, were identified as key determinants of all dimensions of grassland functional stability, except for recovery. Whereas grassland functional recovery was decoupled from compositional recovery, N enrichment altered other dimensions of functional stability primarily through changing their corresponding compositional stability dimensions. Our findings highlight the need to examine ecological stability at the community level for a more mechanistic understanding of ecosystem dynamics in the face of environmental change.

Taxonomy and phylogeny of Pseudovorticella ciliates (Ciliophora, Peritrichia): Two new and one rare species from the coastal waters of China - Yong Zhang; Ying Yu; Zhishuai Qu; Mengmeng Jiang; Zhuo Shen; Jiqiu Li; Xiaofeng Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Peritrich ciliates are a species-rich group of sessile unicellular eukaryotes, which can be found in various aquatic habitats from all over the world. It is well accepted that there are still many ciliates to be uncovered. During a survey on ciliate biodiversity in the coastal waters of China, three solitary peritrich species were identified as members of the genus Pseudovorticella Foissner & Schiffmann, 1975, including two new species and a rare one. Pseudovorticella zhejiangensis sp. n. differs from its congeners mainly by having a conical-shaped zooid, conspicuous pellicular blisters, one ventral and one dorsal contractile vacuoles, and an infundibular polykinety 3 with three rows of nearly equal length but different beginning positions. Pseudovorticella dalianensis sp. n. can be defined mainly by an obovoid-shaped zooid, one ventral contractile vacuole, and a three-rowed infundibular polykinety 3 with the middle row being the longest. The rare species, Pseudovorticella verrucosa (Dons, 1915) Sun et al., 2009, was redescribed. The small subunit (SSU) rDNA sequences of these three species were sequenced for the first time, the phylogeny of Pseudovorticella species was analyzed, and the results verified the non-monophyly of this genus. This study demonstrates that the morphologic and gene barcoding data are the optimum combination to disclose the biodiversity of ciliates.

PDGFD switches on stem cell endothelial commitment - Weisi Lu; Peipei Xu; Boxiong Deng; Jianing Zhang; Ying Zhan; Xianchai Lin; Xiangzhong Xu; Zhaoxia Xia; Xiaoxi Yang; Xiaoling Zeng; Lijuan Huang; Bingbing Xie; et al. (Angiogenesis, 2022)
The critical factors regulating stem cell endothelial commitment and renewal remain not well understood. Here, using loss- and gain-of-function assays together with bioinformatic analysis and multiple model systems, we show that PDGFD is an essential factor that switches on endothelial commitment of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). PDGFD genetic deletion or knockdown inhibits ESC differentiation into EC lineage and increases ESC self-renewal, and PDGFD overexpression activates ESC differentiation towards ECs. RNA sequencing reveals a critical requirement of PDGFD for the expression of vascular-differentiation related genes in ESCs. Importantly, PDGFD genetic deletion or knockdown increases ESC self-renewal and decreases blood vessel densities in both embryonic and neonatal mice and in teratomas. Mechanistically, we reveal that PDGFD fulfills this function via the MAPK/ERK pathway. Our findings provide new insight of PDGFD as a novel regulator of ESC fate determination, and suggest therapeutic implications of modulating PDGFD activity in stem cell therapy.

Long‐term drought aggravates instability of alpine grassland productivity to extreme climatic event - Yun L. He; Jin S. Wang; Da S. Tian; Quan Quan; Lin Jiang; Fang F. Ma; Lu Yang; Fang Y. Zhang; Qing P. Zhou; Shu L. Niu (Ecology, 2022)
The frequency and severity of extreme weather events are increasing and expected to increase more in the future, together with global change. However, how extreme events and global change factors interactively influence community structures and ecosystem processes is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the responses of the temporal stability and resilience of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) of an alpine meadow to an extreme flooding event under different treatments of experimental drought and clipping. We found that ecosystems that were exposed to drought treatments for 3 years significantly decreased the temporal stability of community productivity but increased resilience to flooding, whereas their resistance to or recovery from flooding did not change. Neither clipping nor its interaction with drought altered the responses of these community stability metrics to flooding. Drought treatments significantly decreased plant species richness and asynchrony and dominant species stability, leading to a decrease in temporal stability and an increase in resilience in response to the extreme flooding event. The study also revealed that the change in species asynchrony was the dominant impact pathway determining the responses of resilience and temporal stability to flooding. Our results highlight that alpine grassland that experiences a multiyear drought may aggravate the instability of community productivity to extreme climatic events by reducing species asynchrony.

Associations of metal profiles in blood with thyroiditis: a cross-sectional study - Yaosheng Luo; Huixian Zeng; Yanshi Ye; Genfeng Yu; Cheng Song; Siyang Liu; Xingying Chen; Yuqi Jiang; Hualin Duan; Yue Li; Shengqing He; Zhi Chen; et al. (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is increasingly common, and serological markers include thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb). To determine if selected metals influence thyroiditis antibody positivity, this cross-sectional study investigated associations between metals and thyroiditis antibody status. Healthy individuals ( n = 1104) completed a questionnaire and underwent checkups of anthropometric parameters, thyroid function status, and levels of seven metals in blood (magnesium, iron, calcium, copper, zinc, manganese, and lead). Associated profiles of glyco- and lipid metabolism were also established. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analysis were applied to adjudge associations between metals and TPOAb and TgAb status. It was found that, after adjusting for likely cofounding factors, participants with antibody positivity had significantly lower serum concentrations of magnesium and iron. When serum magnesium levels were analyzed in quartiles, the odds ratios of quartile 4 were 0.329–fold (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.167–0647) and 0.259-fold (95% CI 0.177–0.574) that of quartile 1 regarding TPOAb and TgAb positivity ( P = 0.004, 0.003). After adjustment, the RCS analysis detected nonlinear associations between iron and TPOAb and TgAb positivity ( P < 0.01, both). In stratified analyses, these associations regarding magnesium and iron remained for women of reproductive age, but not for postmenopausal women and men. We conclude that lower serum levels of magnesium and iron are associated with incremental positivity of thyroiditis antibodies and may be among the most important metals contributing to AIT in women of reproductive age.

A super-large ensemble simulation dataset with 110 members has been produced by the fully coupled model FGOALS-g3 developed by researchers at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is the first dataset of large ensemble simulations with a climate system model developed by a Chinese modeling center. The simulation has the largest realizations up to now worldwide in terms of single-model initial-condition large ensembles. Each member includes a historical experiment (1850–2014) and an experiment (2015–99) under the very high greenhouse gas emissions Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenario (SSP5-8.5). The dataset includes monthly and daily temperature, precipitation, and other variables, requiring storage of 275 TB. Additionally, the surface air temperature (SAT) and land precipitation simulated by the FGOALS-g3 super-large ensemble have been validated and projected. The ensemble can capture the response of SAT and land precipitation to external forcings well, and the internal variabilities can be quantified. The availability of more than 100 realizations will help researchers to study rare events and improve the understanding of the impact of internal variability on forced climate changes.

Gregarious larval settlement mediates the responses of new recruits of the reef coral Acropora austera to ocean warming and acidification - Lei Jiang; Yu-Yang Zhang; Cheng-Yue Liu; Lin-Tao Huang; Hao-Ya Tong; Guo-Wei Zhou; Ming-Lan Guo; Tao Yuan; Hui Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Gregarious larval settlement represents an important window for chimera formation in reef corals, yet it remains largely unknown how aggregated settlement and early chimerism could modify the performance and responses of coral recruits under elevated temperature and p CO 2 . In this study, single and aggregated recruits of the broadcast spawning coral Acropora austera were exposed to contrasts of two temperatures (28 versus 30.5°C) and p CO 2 levels (~500 versus 1000 μatm) for two weeks, and algal symbiont infection success, survivorship and growth were assessed. Results showed that symbiont infection success was mainly affected by temperature and recruit type, with reduced symbiont infection at increased temperature and consistently higher infection success in chimeric recruits compared to single recruits. Furthermore, although chimeric recruits with larger areal size had significantly higher survivorship in all treatments, the polyp-specific growth rates were considerably lower in chimeric entities than individual recruits. More importantly, the recruit type significantly influenced the responses of recruit polyp-specific growth rates to elevated temperature, with chimeras exhibiting lowered skeletal lateral growth under elevated temperature. These results demonstrate the benefits and costs associated with gregarious larval settlement for juvenile corals under ocean warming and acidification, and highlight the ecological role of larval settlement behavior in mediating the responses of coral recruits to climate change stressors.

Aquaporins1 and 3 in the tissues of Paramisgurnus dabryanus and their expression profiles in response to ammonia and drought - Mei Huang; Lin-Jiang Zhang; Meng-Xiao Wu; Gao-Feng Peng; Yun-Long Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Aquaporins (Aqp)1 and Aqp3 are the representatives of two types of aquaporins (classical aquaporin and aquaglyceroporin) and have been proven to potentially facilitate ammonia detoxification in air-breathing fishes. Paramisgurnus dabryanus is one of East Asia’s most important commercially farmed species and can breathe air directly through its hindgut. Besides, excellent ammonia tolerance was reported in this species. However, the mechanisms of its tolerance of high ammonia are still unclear. To explore the physiological roles of Aqp1 and Aqp3 in Paramisgurnus dabryanus , we detected the expression pattern of these two Aqps in several tissues and their transcriptional changes in response to different levels (30, and 70 mmol L -1 NH 4 Cl) and periods (0, 12, 48, and 96 h) of ammonia exposure and different periods (0, 12, 48, and 96 h) of drought stress. The aqp1 mRNA showed a high abundance in the brain and the osmoregulatory tissues, such as the intestine and kidney. While aqp3 was mainly expressed in the epithelium of skin and gills that were directly exposed to the environment. The expression level of aqp3 in gills was more responsive than aqp1 to ammonia challenges, although both of them were up-regulated. Considering the wide difference between aqp1 and aqp3 in the skin, aqp3 increased significantly after 12 h of air exposure. The changes of the two aqps in the intestine of P. dabryanus were relatively stable after ammonia stress. After drought stress, intestinal aqp1 increased significantly, while aqp3 decreased. Combined with the effects of tissue location and environmental stress on Aqps, it was suggested that Aqp1 was mainly involved in osmotic regulation, providing water as raw material for body metabolism. Accordingly, our results suggest that Aqp3 has the positive function of assisting ammonia transportation and epidermal moisturizing.

Data capturing multiple axes of tree size and shape, such as a tree's stem diameter, height and crown size, underpin a wide range of ecological research—from developing and testing theory on forest structure and dynamics, to estimating forest carbon stocks and their uncertainties, and integrating remote sensing imagery into forest monitoring programmes. However, these data can be surprisingly hard to come by, particularly for certain regions of the world and for specific taxonomic groups, posing a real barrier to progress in these fields. To overcome this challenge, we developed the Tallo database, a collection of 498,838 georeferenced and taxonomically standardized records of individual trees for which stem diameter, height and/or crown radius have been measured. These data were collected at 61,856 globally distributed sites, spanning all major forested and non‐forested biomes. The majority of trees in the database are identified to species (88%), and collectively Tallo includes data for 5163 species distributed across 1453 genera and 187 plant families. The database is publicly archived under a CC‐BY 4.0 licence and can be access from: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6637599 . To demonstrate its value, here we present three case studies that highlight how the Tallo database can be used to address a range of theoretical and applied questions in ecology—from testing the predictions of metabolic scaling theory, to exploring the limits of tree allometric plasticity along environmental gradients and modelling global variation in maximum attainable tree height. In doing so, we provide a key resource for field ecologists, remote sensing researchers and the modelling community working together to better understand the role that trees play in regulating the terrestrial carbon cycle.

Multitrophic diversity and biotic associations influence subalpine forest ecosystem multifunctionality - Ya‐Huang Luo; Marc W. Cadotte; Jie Liu; Kevin S. Burgess; Shao‐Lin Tan; Lin‐Jiang Ye; Jia‐Yun Zou; Zhong‐Zheng Chen; Xue‐Long Jiang; Juan Li; Kun Xu; De‐Zhu Li; et al. (Ecology, 2022)
Biodiversity across multiple trophic levels is required to maintain multiple ecosystem functions. Yet it remains unclear how multitrophic diversity and species interactions regulate ecosystem multifunctionality. Here, combining data from 9 different trophic groups (including trees, shrubs, herbs, leaf mites, small mammals, bacteria, pathogenic fungi, saprophytic fungi, and symbiotic fungi) and 13 ecosystem functions related to supporting, provisioning, and regulating services, we used a multitrophic perspective to evaluate the effects of elevation, diversity, and network complexity on scale‐dependent subalpine forest multifunctionality. Our results demonstrated that elevation and soil pH significantly modified species composition and richness across multitrophic groups and influenced multiple functions simultaneously. We present evidence that species richness across multiple trophic groups had stronger effects on multifunctionality than species richness at any single trophic level. Moreover, biotic associations, indicating the complexity of trophic networks, were positively associated with multifunctionality. The relative effects of diversity on multifunctionality increased at the scale of the larger community compared to a scale accounting for neighboring interactions. Our results highlight the paramount importance of scale‐ and context‐dependent multitrophic diversity and interactions for a better understanding of mountain ecosystem multifunctionality in a changing world.

Effects of carbonate alkalinity on branchial gene expression in the large-scale loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus) - Mei Huang; Meng-Xiao Wu; Lin-Jiang Zhang; Di Mi; Yun-Long Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Elucidating the mechanisms of alkaline tolerance in freshwater teleosts will help in the development of commercial saline-alkaline aquaculture. The large-scale loach ( Paramisgurnus dabryanus ) is a viable species for such aquaculture, but the mechanisms of its tolerance of alkaline water are unclear. Large-scale loach was exposed to 40, 50, and 60 mmol L -1 NaHCO 3 for 12, 48, and 96 h to evaluate the transcriptional changes of branchial Rhesus (Rh) glycoproteins, and aquaporins (Aqp)1 and Aqp3. Rhag transcript levels increased with longer exposure times. Rhag expression also rose considerably at higher carbonate alkalinities. Rhbg mRNA levels declined significantly under carbonate alkalinity exposure. A marked up-regulation of Rhcg was observed in the gills of the loach. Exposure to 60 mmol L -1 NaHCO 3 also induced a significant up-regulation of aqp1 . By contrast, aqp3 expression was significantly lower after 48 h exposure. The current findings reveal that the large-scale loach up-regulates Rhag and Rhcg to enhance ammonia efflux from the gills when exposed to high alkalinity. It is proposed that this species maintains appropriate osmolality when adapting to an alkaline environment by down-regulating aqp3 (to impede urea removal) and up-regulating aqp1 in the gills (to excrete excessive internal water).

Influence of Indo-Pacific ocean currents on the distribution and demographic patterns of the brown seaweed Sargassum polycystum in tropical east Asia - Yanshuo Liang; Shuangshuang Zhang; Changxiang Yan; Stefano G. A. Draisma; Attachai Kantachumpoo; Zhao Li; Yude Lin; Jiang Zhu; Jie Zhang; Delin Duan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Long-distance drifting of seaweeds driven by ocean currents is an ideal model for exploring population-level genetic connectivity and phylogeographic structure. In the Indo-Pacific convergence region, we integrated phylogeographic and ocean current data and Lagrangian particle simulations to explore how the ocean currents contributed to the biogeographical patterns and population genetic connectivity of Sargassum polycystum . The oceanographic transport and direction of gene flow was in line with contemporary ocean currents. The S. polycystum geographical dispersal from glacial refugia homogenized the footprint of genetic divergence. The multidisciplinary intersection provides insights into the evolutionary history and biogeographic conservation of tropical seaweeds in the Indo-Pacific convergence region.

Copper ore material footprints and transfers embodied in domestic and international trade of provinces in China - Lin Liu; Heinz Schandl; James West; Meng Jiang; Zijian Ren; Dingjiang Chen; Bing Zhu (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2022)
Copper is a critical material for development and plays a profound role in transitioning to a low‐carbon future. China is the main copper consumer in recent decades that has a fast‐growing domestic market accompanied by active international trade. Given the large regional differences within China, it is relevant to understand the domestic driving forces of copper demands and the cascading effects on international regions. Here we combine the newly developed copper ore extraction datasets and the Chinese interprovincial nested global multi‐regional input–output models to explore the copper ore material footprints (CuMF), the interprovincial CuMF transfers, and the international CuMF transfers of provinces. Results show that at the initial stage of clean energy development (2007–2012), most provinces in China are, to a great degree (∼50%), relatively reliant on international copper inputs. The manufacturing sector is the main driving force of international CuMF transfers while the construction sector drives most interprovincial CuMF transfers, with the total volume of international CuMF transfers recently tripling. The central provinces in the industrial transition period and the northwestern provinces in the initial development stage saw the fastest growth in international and interprovincial CuMF transfers, respectively. The economic growth and low‐carbon transition will further advance copper‐related manufacturing and construction activities while other evidences indicate that the degree of foreign inputs to meet copper demand may peak and the interprovincial supply may rise continuously. Targeted governance of these sectors may effectively reduce high dependence on the international copper supply and ensure an efficient interprovincial CuMF transfer pattern.

PLXDC2 enhances invadopodium formation to promote invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells via interacting with PTP1B - Bin Wu; Yan-xia Wang; Jun-jie Wang; Dong-fang Xiang; Meng-si Zhang; Ze-xuan Yan; Wen-ying Wang; Jing-ya Miao; Xi Lan; Jia-jia Liu; Zheng-yan Li; Chuan Li; et al. (Clinical & Experimental Metastasis, 2022)
Plexin-domain containing 2 (PLXDC2) has been reported as an oncoprotein in several human malignancies. However, its expression and roles in gastric cancer remain largely unclear. In this study, we found that PLXDC2 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, and the expression levels were positively correlated with clinicopathological features, but negatively with the patients’ outcome. Cox regression analysis identified PLXDC2 as an independent prognostic indicator for the patients. Knockdown of PLXDC2 markedly suppressed the in vitro invasion and in vivo metastasis of gastric cancer cells, while overexpression of PLXDC2 resulted in opposite effects. Mechanistically, PLXDC2 enhanced the level of phosphorylated Cortactin (p-Cortactin) by physically interacting with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), an important dephosphorylase, to prevent its dephosphorylating of p-Cortactin, thereby promoting the formation of invadopodia. Collectively, our results indicate that PLXDC2 contributes to the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer by inhibiting PTP1B to facilitate the invadopodium formation, and may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for this disease.

Optimizing cryopreservation of sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) sperm using a programmable freezer and computer-assisted sperm analysis - Shuai Xu; Shilin Liu; Jingchun Sun; Libin Zhang; Chenggang Lin; Lina Sun; Lili Xing; Chunxi Jiang; Hongsheng Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus has high nutritional, medicinal, and economic value. However, factors such as overexploitation, climate change, and environmental pollution have resulted in serious germplasm degradation in both farmed and wild A. japonicus , and it has been listed as endangered on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of Threatened Species. Cryopreservation is an important method to protect germplasm resources and solve the problem of germplasm degradation. Using a programmable freezer and computer-aided sperm analysis, we comprehensively studied and screened the factors that affect the post-thaw motility of A. japonicus sperm during cryopreservation. Based on our results, we propose the following optimal cryopreservation procedure for A. japonicus sperm: cryo-diluent composition of 12.5% dimethyl sulfoxide and 0.1 mol/L glucose, with filter-sterilized (the filter mesh size: 0.45μm) natural seawater (NSW) as the extender; 1:5 mixing ratio of sperm and cryo-diluent; cooling rate and thawing temperatures of 10°C/min and 20°C, respectively. The post-thaw motility of sperm treated using the optimal procedure was > 65%, the fertilization rate (in the blastocyst stage) was nearly 80%, and the hatching rate (in the early auricularia larva stage) was > 65%. Additionally, frozen sperm that had been cryopreserved for 1 year retained a considerable post-thaw motility and fertilization rate compared to recently cryopreserved sperm. We detected obvious differences in sperm freezability among individual A. japonicus , and cryopreservation caused some damage to the sperm structure. In conclusion, our optimized procedure make large-scale cryopreservation of A. japonicus sperm possible, and our results provide valuable information that could be applied to research and conservation of A. japonicus .

Characterization of Fine-Scale Turbulence Generated in a Laboratory Orbital Shaker and Its Influence on Skeletonema costatum - Lin Yu; Yifan Li; Zhongzhi Yao; Long You; Zong-Pei Jiang; Wei Fan; Yiwen Pan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Turbulence is one of the ubiquitous aspects of aquatic systems and affects many physical and biological processes. Based on direct velocity measurements and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, we characterized the distribution of the turbulent kinetic dissipations rates (ε) in an orbital shaker system within a range of rotation frequencies. CFD was able to estimate the ε distribution in containers accurately, which was confirmed by other two methods and was independent of velocity measurement. The results showed that ε was linearly correlated with the rotational frequencies. Despite the existence of gradients of ε and the fact that a mean circular horizontal flow was formed within the tank, the energy levels of the whole tank varied spatially within an order of magnitude and the ε distributions at different rotational frequencies were similar, suggesting that the ε distribution in the whole tank could be seen as quasi-homogeneous. To investigate the influence of turbulence on algae growth, culture experiments of a typical diatom—Skeletonema costatum were carried out under different turbulence conditions. Our results suggested turbulence mixing promoted nutrient uptake and growth of Skeletonema costatum, which could be attributed to the break of the diffusion-limited resource concentration boundary layer surrounding phytoplankton.

Summary To acquire phosphorus, cyanobacteria use the typical bacterial ABC‐type phosphate transporter, which is composed of a periplasmic high‐affinity phosphate‐binding protein PstS and a channel formed by two transmembrane proteins PstC and PstA. A putative pstS gene was identified in the genomes of cyanophages that infect the unicellular marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus . However, it has not been determined whether the cyanophage PstS protein is functional during infection to enhance the phosphate uptake rate of host cells. Here we showed that the cyanophage P‐SSM2 PstS protein was abundant in the infected Prochlorococcus NATL2A cells and the host phosphate uptake rate was enhanced after infection. This is consistent with our biochemical and structural analyses showing that the phage PstS protein is indeed a high‐affinity phosphate‐binding protein. We further modelled the complex structure of phage PstS with host PstCA and revealed three putative interfaces that may facilitate the formation of a chimeric ABC transporter. Our results provide insights into the molecular mechanism by which cyanophages enhance the phosphate uptake rate of cyanobacteria. Phosphate acquisition by infected bacteria can increase the phosphorus contents of released cellular debris and virus particles, which together constitute a significant proportion of the marine dissolved organic phosphorus pool.

Bone tissue engineering using 3D silk scaffolds and human dental pulp stromal cells epigenetic reprogrammed with the selective histone deacetylase inhibitor MI192 - Kenny Man; Habib Joukhdar; Xue D. Manz; Mathieu Y. Brunet; Lin-Hua Jiang; Jelena Rnjak-Kovacina; Xuebin B. Yang (Cell and Tissue Research, 2022)
Epigenetics plays a critical role in regulating mesenchymal stem cells’ (MSCs) fate for tissue repair and regeneration. There is increasing evidence that the inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) isoform 3 can enhance MSC osteogenesis. This study investigated the potential of using a selective HDAC2 and 3 inhibitor, MI192, to promote human dental pulp stromal cells (hDPSCs) bone-like tissue formation in vitro and in vivo within porous Bombyx Mori silk scaffolds. Both 2 and 5 wt% silk scaffolds were fabricated and characterised. The 5 wt% scaffolds possess thicker internal lamellae, reduced scaffold swelling and degradation rates, whilst increased compressive modulus in comparison to the 2 wt% silk scaffold. MI192 pre-treatment of hDPSCs on 5 wt% silk scaffold significantly enhanced hDPSCs alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP). The expression of osteoblast-related genes (RUNX2, ALP, Col1a, OCN) was significantly upregulated in the MI192 pre-treated cells. Histological analysis confirmed that the MI192 pre-treated hDPSCs-silk scaffold constructs promoted bone extracellular matrix (ALP, Col1a, OCN) deposition and mineralisation compared to the untreated group. Following 6 weeks of subcutaneous implantation in nude mice, the MI192 pre-treated hDPSCs-silk scaffold constructs enhanced the vascularisation and extracellular matrix mineralisation compared to untreated control. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate the potential of using epigenetic reprogramming and silk scaffolds to promote hDPSCs bone formation efficacy, which provides evidence for clinical translation of this technology for bone augmentation.

Integrated Berth and Crane Scheduling Problem Considering Crane Coverage in Multi-Terminal Tidal Ports under Uncertainty - Meixian Jiang; Jian Zhou; Jiajia Feng; Lin Zhou; Fangzheng Ma; Guanghua Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In this work, we study the integrated berth and crane scheduling problem in a tidal port with multiple terminals, considering the uncertainties, tides, maximum coverage of cranes and interference between cranes. For coping with the uncertainties, a certain number of randomly generated samples are used to evaluate the solutions, and slack variables are introduced to reduce the impact caused by the variation in vessel arrival and crane operational efficiency. A novel nonlinear mixed integer programming model is first formulated for the problem to minimize the sum of expectation and variance of costs under all samples. An improved adaptive genetic algorithm, combining a simulated annealing mechanism and greedy construction strategy, is developed and implemented by MATLAB. The feasibility and validity of the algorithm and the benefits of multi-terminal collaborative scheduling strategy under uncertainty are evaluated through numerical experiments. The results show that the algorithm can obtain feasible scheduling solutions with higher quality. Compared to the strategy that considers either the uncertainty or the multi-terminal collaborative mechanism, the resulting solution considering both can effectively reduce the cost and improve the competitiveness of the port.

Joint effects of environmental filtering and dispersal limitation on the species assemblage of the Tibetan Plateau - Jiekun He; Haoxian Lin; Runxi Wang; Chao Dai; Hongyin Yu; Jiahao Tu; Jiehua Yu; Haisheng Jiang (Journal of Biogeography, 2022)
Aim Mountains harbour a rich and non‐random cluster of species, yet knowledge of the species' biological attributes that support their coexistence in the montane community is limited. Here, we investigated the association of species occurrence on the Tibetan Plateau with their morphological, ecological or evolutionary constraints. Location Tibetan Plateau (TP). Taxon Mammals and birds. Methods We tested whether species occurrence on the TP correlates with morphological, ecological or evolutionary constraints using the spatial distribution, phylogeny, dispersal ability and thermal niche property data for 1353 terrestrial vertebrates (383 mammals and 970 birds). We used standard (non‐phylogenetic) and phylogenetic logistic regressions to elucidate the relative contributions of these attributes of species to explaining their occurrence on the TP. We assessed the geographical patterns of the community structures on the TP and fitted linear mixed models to explore the underlying eco‐evolutionary forces. Results The TP species exhibited a higher cold tolerance, wider thermal niche breadth and higher rate of niche evolution than non‐TP species. We supported the assumption that the TP species were not a random subset from the species pool, but were structured jointly by environmental filtering and dispersal limitation. While dispersal and ecological processes underlying species assemblages varied spatially and among taxa, we found that species in stressful environments were limited by environmental filtering, whereas dispersal limitation was more pronounced under favourable climatic conditions. Main conclusions Our study finds that environmental filtering and dispersal limitation jointly shape the species assemblage on the TP. These findings provide significant insights into community assembly processes on the TP and other montane ecosystems on Earth, especially those that are sensitive to global warming.

Functional traits explain the consistent resistance of biodiversity to plant invasion under nitrogen enrichment - Shao‐peng Li; Pu Jia; Shu‐ya Fan; Yingtong Wu; Xiang Liu; Yani Meng; Yue Li; Wen‐sheng Shu; Jin‐tian Li; Lin Jiang (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Elton's biotic resistance hypothesis, which posits that diverse communities should be more resistant to biological invasions, has received considerable experimental support. However, it remains unclear whether such a negative diversity–invasibility relationship would persist under anthropogenic environmental change. By using the common ragweed ( Ambrosia artemisiifolia ) as a model invader, our 4‐year grassland experiment demonstrated consistently negative relationships between resident species diversity and community invasibility, irrespective of nitrogen addition, a result further supported by a meta‐analysis. Importantly, our experiment showed that plant diversity consistently resisted invasion simultaneously through increased resident biomass, increased trait dissimilarity among residents, and increased community‐weighted means of resource‐conservative traits that strongly resist invasion, pointing to the importance of both trait complementarity and sampling effects for invasion resistance even under resource enrichment. Our study provides unique evidence that considering species’ functional traits can help further our understanding of biotic resistance to biological invasions in a changing environment.

Exosome-Derived lncRNA NEAT1 Exacerbates Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy by Promoting Ferroptosis Through Regulating miR-9-5p/TFRC and GOT1 Axis - Xue-biao Wei; Wen-qiang Jiang; Ju-hao Zeng; Lin-qiang Huang; Hong-guang Ding; Yuan-wen Jing; Yong-li Han; Yi-chen Li; Sheng-long Chen (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Sepsis can cause sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE), but whether SAE was induced or exacerbated by ferroptosis remains unknown. In this study, the rat sepsis model was constructed using the cecal ligation and puncture method. The blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability was measured by Evans blue dye (EBD) in vivo. The levels of ROS, Fe ion, MDA, GSH, and GPX4 were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The exosomes isolated from serum were cultured with bEnd.3 cells for the in vitro analysis. Moreover, bEnd.3 cells cultured with 100 μM FeCl3 (iron-rich) were to simulate ferroptosis stress. The cell viability was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to confirm the relationship between miR-9-5p with NEAT1, TFRC , and GOT1 . In vivo, it is found that BBB permeability was damaged in model rats. Level of ROS, Fe ion, and MDA was increased, and level of GSH and GPX4 was decreased, which means ferroptosis was induced by sepsis. Exosome-packaged NEAT1 in serum was significantly upregulated in model rats. In vitro, it is found that NEAT1 functions as a ceRNA for miR-9-5p to facilitate TFRC and GOT1 expression. Overexpression of NEAT1 enhanced ferroptosis stress in bEnd.3 cells. Increased miR-9-5p alleviated sepsis-induced ferroptosis by suppressing the expression of TFRC and GOT1 both in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, these findings suggest that sepsis induced high expression of serous exosome-derived NEAT1, and it might exacerbate SAE by promoting ferroptosis through regulating miR-9-5p/ TFRC and GOT1 axis.

Warming effects on grassland productivity depend on plant diversity - Junjiong Shao; Xuhui Zhou; Kees Jan van Groenigen; Guiyao Zhou; Huimin Zhou; Lingyan Zhou; Meng Lu; Jianyang Xia; Lin Jiang; Bruce A. Hungate; Yiqi Luo; Fangliang He; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2022)
Aim Climate warming and biodiversity loss both alter plant productivity, yet we lack an understanding of how biodiversity regulates the responses of ecosystems to warming. In this study, we examine how plant diversity regulates the responses of grassland productivity to experimental warming using meta‐analytic techniques. Location Global. Major taxa studied Grassland ecosystems. Methods Our meta‐analysis is based on warming responses of 40 different plant communities obtained from 20 independent studies on grasslands across five continents. Results Our results show that plant diversity and its responses to warming were the most important factors regulating the warming effects on plant productivity, among all the factors considered (plant diversity, climate and experimental settings). Specifically, warming increased plant productivity when plant diversity (indicated by effective number of species) in grasslands was lower than 10, whereas warming decreased plant productivity when plant diversity was greater than 10. Moreover, the structural equation modelling showed that the magnitude of warming enhanced plant productivity by increasing the performance of dominant plant species in grasslands of diversity lower than 10. The negative effects of warming on productivity in grasslands with plant diversity greater than 10 were partly explained by diversity‐induced decline in plant dominance. Main conclusions Our findings suggest that the positive or negative effect of warming on grassland productivity depends on how biodiverse a grassland is. This may mainly be due to differences in how warming may affect plant dominance and subsequent shifts in interspecific interactions in grasslands of different plant diversity levels.

Seasonal Variation of Food Web Structure and Stability of a Typical Artificial Reef Ecosystem in Bohai Sea, China - Shengpeng Li; Ruyue Wang; Yueming Jiang; Yanyu Li; Lin Zhu; Jianfeng Feng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The last 30 years have witnessed the degradation and loss of function in the ecosystem of the Bohai Sea, China. Great efforts, such as artificial reefs, have been used to restore the ecosystem of the Bohai Sea in recent years. In this study, we examined the seasonal variation of food webs in artificial reefs of Juehua Island by the Ecopath model. Results showed that the number of species, range of trophic level, energy cycle proportion, energy complexity, nutrition transfer efficiency, and ecosystem maturity have increased from summer to autumn. However, the food web stability of artificial reefs has no obvious change from summer to autumn. Loop analysis revealed that the heaviest feedback loops are the interactions among benthos, zooplankton, and phytoplankton, and the predator-prey negative interaction strength between zooplankton and phytoplankton dominated the stability of the artificial reef, whether in summer or autumn. This study suggests that stability is a more robust indicator for ecosystem assessment and could provide useful information in future restoration plans of the marine ecosystem.

Detection of functional and structural brain alterations in female schizophrenia using elastic net logistic regression - Ying Wu; Ping Ren; Rong Chen; Hong Xu; Jianxing Xu; Lin Zeng; Donghui Wu; Wentao Jiang; NianSheng Tang; Xia Liu (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2022)
Neuroimaging technique is a powerful tool to characterize the abnormality of brain networks in schizophrenia. However, the neurophysiological substrate of schizophrenia is still unclear. Here we investigated the patterns of brain functional and structural changes in female patients with schizophrenia using elastic net logistic regression analysis of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data. Data from 52 participants (25 female schizophrenia patients and 27 healthy controls) were obtained. Using an elastic net penalty, the brain regions most relevant to schizophrenia pathology were defined in the models using the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and gray matter, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic analysis showed reliable classification accuracy with 85.7% in ALFF analysis, and 77.1% in gray matter analysis. Notably, our results showed eight common regions between the ALFF and gray matter analyses, including the Frontal-Inf-Orb-R, Rolandic-Oper-R, Olfactory-R, Angular-L, Precuneus-L, Precuenus-R, Heschl-L, and Temporal-Pole-Mid-R. In addition, the severity of symptoms was found positively associated with the ALFF within the Rolandic-Oper-R and Frontal-Inf-Orb-R. Our findings indicated that elastic net logistic regression could be a useful tool to identify the characteristics of schizophrenia -related brain deterioration, which provides novel insights into schizophrenia diagnosis and prediction.

Climate warming promotes deterministic assembly of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities - Xinyu Xu; Yunpeng Qiu; Kangcheng Zhang; Fei Yang; Mengfei Chen; Xi Luo; Xuebin Yan; Peng Wang; Yi Zhang; Huaihai Chen; Hui Guo; Lin Jiang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) significantly contribute to plant resource acquisition and play important roles in mediating plant interactions and soil carbon (C) dynamics. However, it remains unclear how AMF communities respond to climate change. We assessed impacts of warming and precipitation alterations (30% increase or decrease) on soil AMF communities, and examined major ecological processes shaping the AMF community assemblage in a Tibetan alpine meadow. Our results showed that warming significantly increased root biomass, and available nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in soil. While precipitation alterations increased AMF abundances, they did not significantly affect the composition or diversity of AMF communities. In contrast, warming altered the composition of AMF communities and reduced their Shannon–Wiener index and Pielou's evenness. In particular, warming shifted the AMF community composition in favor of Diversisporaceae over Glomeraceae, likely through its impact on soil N and P availability. In addition, AMF communities were phylogenetically random in the unwarmed control but clustered in warming plots, implying more deterministic community assembly under climate warming. Warming enhancement of root growth, N and P availability likely reduced plant C‐allocation to AMF, imposing stronger environmental filtering on AMF communities. We further proposed a conceptual framework that integrates biological and geochemical processes into a mechanistic understanding of warming and precipitation changes’ effects on AMF. Taken together, these results suggest that soil AMF communities may be more sensitive to warming than expected, highlighting the need to monitor their community structure and associated functional consequences on plant communities and soil C dynamics under the future warmer climate.

Distribution of Coomassie Blue Stainable Particles in the Pearl River Estuary, China, Insight Into the Nitrogen Cycling in Estuarine System - Cui-Ci Sun; Wei-Zhong Yue; You-Shao Wang; Wei-Hong He; Yi-Guo Hong; Fu-Lin Sun; Hao Cheng; Mei-Lin Wu; Zhao-Yu Jiang; Fei Jiao; Yu-Tu Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Distributions of Coomassie Blue stainable particles (CSP), the sources and transports, as well as their implications for nitrogen biogeochemical cycles in the Pearl River estuary (PRE) were investigated during two cruises in August 2016 and January 2017. CSP color concentrations (CSP concentration determined spectrophotometrically) were 73.7–685.3 μg BSA eq L –1 [μg Bovine serum albumin (BSA) equivalent liter –1 ] in August 2016 and 100.6–396.4 μg BSA eq L –1 in January 2017, respectively. CSP concentrations were high in low-salinity waters (<5), and declined from the river to the middle estuary by 80% in the wet season and 55.6% in the dry season, respectively, then increased again in the lower estuary due to high primary production. CSP concentrations were mainly associated with chlorophyll a (Chl a ) concentration except for the turbid mixing zone, suggesting that autochthonous phytoplankton production served as the primary source of CSP in the PRE. The concentrations of nitrogen (N) as CSP in the PRE were comparable to the nitrogen content of particulate hydrolysable amino acids (PHAA). Pictures of CSP taken by microscopy and the correlation between composition of PHAA and the ratio of Chl a /CSP color showed that CSP were relatively degraded due to delivery of old terrestrial protein to river section and extensive microbial degradation during mixing at the upper and middle parts of the estuary, whereas CSP in lower estuary appeared to be more labile due to higher fresh algal production. The contribution of CSP nitrogen (CSP-N) to the particulate nitrogen (PN) pool was 34.98% in summer and 30.8% in winter. The conservative estimate of CSP-N input flux in the Pearl River Delta was about 6 × 10 6 mol N d –1 . These results suggested that CSP was a significant pool of organic nitrogen in the PRE. The study of CSP composition in terms of nitrogen provides new insight into the roles of CSP on nitrogen biogeochemical processes in the turbid and productive estuarine system.

Inhibition of FOSL2 aggravates the apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells by promoting the formation of inflammasomes - Jie Li; Li Zhou; Hongye Jiang; Lin Lin; Yinguang Li (Genes & Genomics, 2022)
Background Ovarian cancer is a common gynecological malignancy among female patients and poses a serious threat to women’s health. Although it has been established that Fos-like antigen 2 (FOSL2) is linked to ovarian cancer (OC), its exact role in the development of OC remains unknown. Objective This article aims to investigate the role of FOSL2 in ovarian cancer development. Methods FOSL2 expression in ovarian carcinoma and adjacent tissues was assessed using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and western blot. We constructed OE/sh-FOSL2 plasmids and Caspase-1 specific inhibitors (Yvad-CMK) and transfected A 2780 cells with them to identify the relevant cell functions. Furthermore, we used western blot assay to determine the changes in expression of apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), cysteine aspartate-specific proteasezymogen procaspase 1 (pro-caspase-1), cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-1 (caspase-1), interleukin-1β precursor (pro-IL-1β), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-18 precursor (pro-IL-18), and interleukin-18 (IL-18). In addition, we measured the concentration of IL-1β and IL-18 using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Moreover, Tthe level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cell supernatant was measured by LDH release assay kit. Results The expression of FOSL2 was significantly higher compared with the surrounding tissues. The proliferation, migration, and invasion of A2780 cells were enhanced after transfection with OE-FOSL2 plasmids; however, the cell apoptosis was significantly decreased. When FOSL2 was overexpressed, the inflammasome-associated proteins such as ASC, caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 were downregulated. Furthermore, FOSL2 induced apoptosis and activated the production of inflammasomes in A2780 cells. Co-therapy with Yvad-CMK and substantially inhibited apoptosis and activation of inflammasomes. Conclusions Inhibition of FOSL2 promotes the apoptosis of OC cells by mediating the formation of an inflammasome.

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.

Melatonin Reduces Neuroinflammation and Improves Axonal Hypomyelination by Modulating M1/M2 Microglia Polarization via JAK2-STAT3-Telomerase Pathway in Postnatal Rats Exposed to Lipopolysaccharide - Qiuping Zhou; Lanfen Lin; Haiyan Li; Huifang Wang; Shuqi Jiang; Peixian Huang; Qiongyu Lin; Xuan Chen; Yiyu Deng (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Microglia activation and associated inflammation are implicated in the periventricular white matter damage (PWMD) in septic postnatal rats. This study investigated whether melatonin would mitigate inflammation and alleviate the axonal hypomyelination in the corpus callosum in septic postnatal rats. We further explored if this might be related to the modulation of microglial polarization from M1 phenotype to M2 through the JAK2/STAT3/telomerase pathway. We reported here that indeed melatonin not only can it reduce the neurobehavioral disturbances in LPS-injected rats, but it can also dampen microglia-mediated inflammation. Thus, in LPS + melatonin group, the expression of proinflammatory mediators in M1 phenotype microglia was downregulated. As opposed to this, M2 microglia were increased which was accompanied by upregulated expression of anti-inflammatory mediators along with telomerase reverse transcriptase or melatonin receptor 1(MT1). In parallel to this was decreased NG2 expression but increased expression of myelin and neurofilament proteins. Melatonin can improve hypomyelination which was confirmed by electron microscopy. In vitro in primary microglia stimulated by LPS, melatonin decreased the expression of proinflammatory mediators significantly; but it increased the expression of anti-inflammatory mediators. Additionally, the expression levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly elevated in microglia after melatonin treatment. Remarkably, the effect of melatonin on LPS-treated microglia was blocked by melatonin receptor, JAK2, STAT3 and telomerase reverse transcriptase inhibitors, respectively. Taken together, it is concluded that melatonin can attenuate PWMD through shifting M1 microglia towards M2 via MT1/JAK2/STAT3/telomerase pathway. The results suggest a new therapeutic strategy whereby melatonin may be adopted to convert microglial polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype that would ultimately contribute to the attenuation of PWMD.

Feasibility Research on Fish Pose Estimation Based on Rotating Box Object Detection - Bin Lin; Kailin Jiang; Zhiqi Xu; Feiyi Li; Jiao Li; Chaoli Mou; Xinyao Gong; Xuliang Duan (Fishes, 2021)
A video-based method to quantify animal posture movement is a powerful way to analyze animal behavior. Both humans and fish can judge the physiological state through the skeleton framework. However, it is challenging for farmers to judge the breeding state in the complex underwater environment. Therefore, images can be transmitted by the underwater camera and monitored by a computer vision model. However, it lacks datasets in artificial intelligence and is unable to train deep neural networks. The main contributions of this paper include: (1) the world’s first fish posture database is established. 10 key points of each fish are manually marked. The fish flock images were taken in the experimental tank and 1000 single fish images were separated from the fish flock. (2) A two-stage attitude estimation model is used to detect fish key points. The evaluation of the algorithm performance indicates the precision of detection reaches 90.61%, F1-score reaches 90%, and Fps also reaches 23.26. We made a preliminary exploration on the pose estimation of fish and provided a feasible idea for fish pose estimation.
