First identification of Nocardia seriolae GapA adhesion function and its three B‐cell epitopes with cell‐binding activity - Jiajing Guo; Xiaozhen Yue; Jiaojiao Chang; Zhenyuan Zhang; Jinnian Li; Xuelan Liu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Fish nocardiosis mainly caused by Nocardia seriolae ( N. seriolae) is a serious threat to aquaculture. Bacterial adhesion to host cells mediated by adhesin is an initial step of pathogenesis. But it is not clear whether glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GapA) is an adhesin of N. seriolae . Here, recombinant GapA protein (rGapA) was prokaryotic expressed, and its role in the bacterial adhesion to Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney cells was investigated by indirect immunofluorescence, protein‐binding assay and adhesion inhibition assay. The results showed that an obvious green fluorescence was observed on the surface of the cells co‐incubated with rGapA protein; the cytomembrane proteins of the cells pretreated with rGapA could react with anti‐rGapA antibody; and the antibody significantly inhibited the adhesion ability of the bacteria. Subsequently, B‐cell linear epitopes of GapA protein were identified by using a immunoinformatics approach combined with peptide ELISA and Western blot for the first time. It was found that four predicted epitopes (Ep 58‐69 , Ep 139‐150 , Ep 186‐197 , Ep 318‐329 ) could all react with anti‐rGapA antibody and obviously inhibit the immunoreactivity between rGapA and anti‐rGapA antibody, and they were confirmed as indeed B‐cell linear epitopes of the protein. Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis found the percentage of positive cells co‐incubated with FITC‐labelled epitope peptides (Ep 139‐150 , Ep 186‐197 , Ep 318‐329 ) was significantly higher than those in the FITC‐labelled Ep 58‐69 , unrelated control peptide and cell control. Collectively, GapA is an adhesin of N. seriolae , and epitope peptides (Ep 139‐150 , Ep 186‐197 , Ep 318‐329 ) possess cell‐binding activity, which are potential candidates for developing a multiple epitopes‐based adhesin vaccine against fish nocardiosis.

Further refinements of a continuous radon monitor for surface ocean water measurements - Chunqian Li; Shibin Zhao; Chenglun Zhang; Meng Li; Jinjia Guo; Natasha T. Dimova; Tong Yang; Wen Liu; Guangquan Chen; Huaming Yu; Bochao Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Radon is an excellent natural tracer for studying various geophysical processes. In the past centuries, radon isotopes measurement approaches for marine research have been fully developed but still suffer limitations. Here we present the setup and validation of an improved continuous online measurement system (PIC-ORn) to measure dissolved radon in the surface ocean and other water bodies. We demonstrated that the PIC measurement efficiency is ~2 times higher than a RAD7 and is less affected by relative humidity and produces reliable results. Laboratorial measurements indicated that the new PIC-ORn system responded timely to the change of radon activities in water. The new system was successfully deployed during a cruise to the northwest Pacific Ocean in June 2021. Despite low radon-in-water activities, the results obtained by the new PIC-ORn system matched the traditional measurement systems within the estimated uncertainties. The PIC-ORn detector takes advantage of higher efficiency, lower cost, and power consumption, and is less affected by air moisture. The new system does not rely on drying units, further reducing on-site supervision, which would benefit the researches in submarine groundwater advection and diffusion and ocean-atmosphere gas exchange.

Maternal nutrients and 15N Leucine tracing in Sebastes schlegelii - Tengfei Du; Yongshuang Xiao; Qinghua Liu; Teng Guo; Guang Gao; Jun Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Sebastes schlegelii is a commercially important fishery resource that is also a representative viviparous fish species in the Northeast Asian Sea. The mode of nutritional supply of embryos fertilized and developed in vivo is not clear. To screen biomarkers for nutrient transfer between mother and embryo, we studied the composition of and changes in maternal plasma at different developmental stages. The results showed that the plasma of S. schlegelii was rich in nutrients, including 16 hydrolysed amino acids, 20 fatty acids, glucose and fructose. The contents of amino acids in the plasma reached 3.44-4.58 g/100 g, which is approximately 3-5 times that of fatty acids and 44-155 times that of sugar. Thirteen amino acids, 15 fatty acids and glucose showed an increasing trend in the early stage of embryonic development and a decreasing trend in the later stage. The contents of leucine, as an essential amino acid in early development, changed significantly in maternal blood and was therefore selected as a biomarker. The results of isotope labelling showed that 15 N leucine was not detected in the eggs, gastrula embryos or organogenesis embryos, but a high abundance of 14 N leucine was detected in the eggs and embryos of the control and experimental groups, indicating that leucine, an essential amino acid for aquatic animals, plays an important role in gamete and embryo development. An abundance in 15 N-labelled leucine was detected in the embryonic blood and ovarian villi but not in the embryos, which indicates that the ample free naturally abundant leucine in maternal blood during the middle and late developmental stages of the eggs and embryos was not absorbed or utilized. These results showed that eggs and embryos had certain autonomy and selectivity when absorbing nutrients and gave priority to the active transport of certain complex macromolecular nutrients that could meet their needs for a variety of nutrients at the same time.

Two-step success rate criterion strategy: a model- and data-driven partial ambiguity resolution method for medium-long baselines RTK - Yanqing Hou; Xin Liu; Haoli Zhang; Dezhong Zhou; Jiaju Guo; Zishen Li (GPS Solutions, 2022)
When GNSS measurement errors such as ionospheric delays remain large, full ambiguity resolution (FAR) takes an unacceptably long time to fix ambiguities to integers. Partial ambiguity resolution (PAR), under this circumstance, is a possible solution to obtain precise positioning before FAR is achieved. PAR fixes a subset of ambiguities instead of all to improve either the fix rate, success rate or positioning accuracy according to different criteria. This contribution proposes a two-step success rate criterion (TSRC) strategy that first chooses ambiguities to fix using a given success rate threshold and then adds more ambiguities to fix by maximizing the expectation of baseline precision improvement from fixing ambiguities. Then, the TSRC strategy is compared with two other commonly used PAR strategies and the FAR strategy in an experiment with real data forming a medium-long-baseline setup (baselines longer than 15 km and shorter than 50 km). The results show that in medium-long-baseline cases, the TSRC achieves the shortest time to first fix (TTFF), which is 100–200 s shorter than other PAR strategies and 400–800 s shorter than the FAR strategy, excluding cases in which FAR fixes no ambiguities at all. Consequently, the TSRC yields the highest positioning accuracy on average. In addition, the variance–covariance (VC)-matrix of the float ambiguities is found to have a heavy impact on the TSRC strategy in some cases, and amplifying the VC-matrix before the ambiguity fixing process can partly mitigate it.

Storage, patterns and influencing factors for soil organic carbon in coastal wetlands of China - Shaopan Xia; Zhaoliang Song; Lukas Van Zwieten; Laodong Guo; Changxun Yu; Weiqi Wang; Qiang Li; Iain P. Hartley; Yuanhe Yang; Hongyan Liu; Yidong Wang; Xiangbin Ran; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) in coastal wetlands, also known as “blue C,” is an essential component of the global C cycles. To gain a detailed insight into blue C storage and controlling factors, we studied 142 sites across ca. 5000 km of coastal wetlands, covering temperate, subtropical, and tropical climates in China. The wetlands represented six vegetation types ( Phragmites australis , mixed of P. australis and Suaeda , single Suaeda , Spartina alterniflora , mangrove [ Kandelia obovata and Avicennia marina ], tidal flat) and three vegetation types invaded by S. alterniflora ( P. australis , K. obovata , A. marina ). Our results revealed large spatial heterogeneity in SOC density of the top 1‐m ranging 40–200 Mg C ha −1 , with higher values in mid‐latitude regions (25–30° N) compared with those in both low‐ (20°N) and high‐latitude (38–40°N) regions. Vegetation type influenced SOC density, with P. australis and S. alterniflora having the largest SOC density, followed by mangrove, mixed P. australis and Suaeda , single Suaeda and tidal flat. SOC density increased by 6.25 Mg ha −1 following S. alterniflora invasion into P. australis community but decreased by 28.56 and 8.17 Mg ha −1 following invasion into K. obovata and A. marina communities. Based on field measurements and published literature, we calculated a total inventory of 57 × 10 6 Mg C in the top 1‐m soil across China's coastal wetlands. Edaphic variables controlled SOC content, with soil chemical properties explaining the largest variance in SOC content. Climate did not control SOC content but had a strong interactive effect with edaphic variables. Plant biomass and quality traits were a minor contributor in regulating SOC content, highlighting the importance of quantity and quality of OC inputs and the balance between production and degradation within the coastal wetlands. These findings provide new insights into blue C stabilization mechanisms and sequestration capacity in coastal wetlands.

Mutual effect of homocysteine and uric acid on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk in the context of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine - Zhiyuan Wu; Haiping Zhang; Zhiwei Li; Haibin Li; Xinlei Miao; Huiying Pan; Jinqi Wang; Xiangtong Liu; Xiaoping Kang; Xia Li; Lixin Tao; Xiuhua Guo (EPMA Journal, 2022)
Background Arterial stiffness is a major risk factor and effective predictor of cardiovascular diseases and a common pathway of pathological vascular impairments. Homocysteine (Hcy) and uric acid (UA) own the shared metabolic pathways to affect vascular function. Serum uric acid (UA) has a great impact on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk, while the mutual effect with Hcy remains unknown yet. This study aimed to evaluate the mutual effect of serum Hcy and UA on arterial stiffness and 10-year cardiovascular risk in the general population. From the perspective of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM/3PM), we assumed that combined assessment of Hcy and UA provides a better tool for targeted prevention and personalized intervention of cardiovascular diseases via suppressing arterial stiffness. Methods This study consisted of 17,697 participants from Beijing Health Management Cohort, who underwent health examination between January 2012 and December 2019. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was used as an index of arterial stiffness. Results Individuals with both high Hcy and UA had the highest baPWV, compared with those with low Hcy and low UA ( β : 30.76, 95% CI: 18.36–43.16 in males; β : 53.53, 95% CI: 38.46–68.60 in females). In addition, these individuals owned the highest 10-year cardiovascular risk (OR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.26–1.76 in males; OR: 7.61, 95% CI: 4.63–12.68 in females). Of note, males with high homocysteine and low uric acid were significantly associated with increased cardiovascular risk (OR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.15–1.47), but not the high uric acid and low homocysteine group (OR: 1.02, 95% CI: 0.90–1.16). Conclusions This study found the significantly mutual effect of Hcy and UA on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk using a large population and suggested the clinical importance of combined evaluation and control of Hcy and UA for promoting cardiovascular health. The adverse effect of homocysteine on arteriosclerosis should be addressed beyond uric acid, especially for males. Monitoring of the level of both Hcy and UA provides a window opportunity for PPPM/3PM in the progression of arterial stiffness and prevention of CVD. Hcy provides a novel predictor beyond UA of cardiovascular health to identify individuals at high risk of arterial stiffness for the primary prevention and early treatment of CVD. In the progressive stage of arterial stiffness, active control of Hcy and UA levels from the aspects of dietary behavior and medication treatment is conducive to alleviating the level of arterial stiffness and reducing the risk of CVD. Further studies are needed to evaluate the clinical effect of Hcy and UA targeted intervention on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular health.

Impact of ocean acidification on the physiology of digestive gland of razor clams Sinonovacula constricta - Jian Liang; Yuhang Liu; Feixia Zhu; Yongren Li; Shuang Liang; Yongjun Guo (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Ocean acidification (OA) can have widespread implications for marine bivalves. While our current understanding of OA effects on the physiological performance is increasing, very little is known about the physiology of digestive gland of marine bivalves in response to OA. Here, we examined how the digestive system of razor clams ( Sinonovacula constricta ) responded to OA. Following 35-day exposure to CO 2 -driven seawater acidification, no significant decreases in phenotypic traits, such as dry body weight gain, specific growth rate, condition index and survival rate, as well physiological functions, such as activities of antioxidant and digestive enzymes, were observed, demonstrating the resistance of razor clams under acidified conditions. Histological results showed that some direct damages on the structure of digestive gland was observed, including degradation of digestive tubular, atrophy of epithelial cells, loose cell arrangement, even diffuse. This study provides insights into the digestive performance of marine bivalves in a rapidly acidifying ocean.

Study on the seasonal variations of dimethyl sulfide, its precursors and their impact factors in the Bohai Sea and North Yellow Sea - Yu Guo; Liying Peng; Zishi Liu; Xiaoting Fu; Guicheng Zhang; Ting Gu; Danyang Li; Jun Sun (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is one of the most important volatile biogenic sulfur compounds and plays a significant role in global climate change. Studying the seasonal variations and the environmental factors that affect the concentration of DMS would aid in understanding the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur compounds. Using benzene-assisted photoionization positive ion mobility spectrometry (BAPI-PIMS), the seasonal distribution and the key impact factors of DMS and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in the Bohai Sea and North Yellow Sea were investigated in the summer and autumn of 2019. The concentrations of DMS and its precursors, DMSPp and DMSPd, in the surface seawater were 0.11–23.90, 0.67–41.38, and 0.03–12.28 nmol/L, respectively, in summer, and 0.10–20.79, 0.39–13.51, and 0.18–20.58 nmol/L, respectively, in autumn. The air-to-sea exchange flux of DMS was 43.05 ± 44.52 and 34.06 ± 63.38 μmol/(m·d), respectively, in summer and autumn. The results demonstrated that the temperature was the most dominant environmental factor, and the abundance of dinoflagellates was the most dominant biological factor that affected the distribution of DMS and DMSP in summer. The abundance of diatoms was the most dominant biological factor, and the levels of PO 4 3- , NO 2 - , NO 3 - , and SiO 3 2- were the dominant environmental factors that affected the distribution of DMS and DMSP in autumn. These results of this study would be of great significance in understanding the biochemical cycle of DMS in BS and NYS.

Sea ice recognition for CFOSAT SWIM at multiple small incidence angles in the Arctic - Meijie Liu; Ran Yan; Xi Zhang; Ying Xu; Ping Chen; Yongsen Zhao; Yuexiang Guo; Yangeng Chen; Xiaohan Zhang; Shengxu Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Sea ice recognition is one of the main tasks for sea ice monitoring in the Arctic and is also applied for the detection of other ocean phenomena. The Surface Wave Investigation and Monitoring (SWIM) instrument, as an innovative remote sensor that operates at multiple small incidence angles, is different from existing sensors with moderate and normal incidence modes for sea ice monitoring. Sea ice recognition at small incidence angles has rarely been studied. Moreover, SWIM uses a discrimination flag of sea ice and sea water to remove sea ice from sea wave products. Therefore, this research focuses on sea ice recognition in the Arctic based on SWIM data from October 2020 to April 2021. Eleven features are first extracted, and applied for the analysis of the waveform characteristics using the cumulative probability distribution (CPD) and mutual information measurement (MIM). Then, random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers are built, and their abilities of sea ice recognition are assessed. The optimal classifier is the KNN method with Euclidean distance and k equal to 11. Feature combinations are also used to separate sea ice and sea water based on the KNN method to select the optimal combination. Thus, the optimal classifier-feature assembly at each small incidence angle is established, and the highest overall accuracy reaches 97.1%. Moreover, the application of the optimal classifier–feature assemblies is studied, and its performance is fairly good. These assemblies yield high accuracies in the short- and long-term periods of sea ice recognition, and the overall accuracies are greater than 93.1%. So, the proposed method satisfies the SWIM requirement of removing the sea ice effect. Moreover, sea ice extents and edges can be extracted from SWIM sea ice recognition results at a high level of precision greater than 94.8%. As a result, the optimal classifier–feature assemblies based on SWIM data express the effectiveness of the SWIM approach in sea ice recognition. Our work not only highlights the new sea ice monitoring technology of remote sensing at small incidence angles, but also studies the application of SWIM data in sea ice services.

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), including both land-based fresh groundwater that enters the ocean from coastal aquifers as well as recirculated seawater that is continuously recharged and discharged on the seabed, has been considered as an important component of the global water and biogenic element (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon and carbon) sources and a significant pathway for material exchange at the land-sea interface of coastal ecosystems. Some researchers reported that SGD associated nutrient additions to coastal waters have caused unwanted ecological issues, including red tides, coastal acidification and hypoxia. Natural radon isotope ( 222 Rn, t 1/2 = 3.8 d ) is an excellent tracer for studying SGD and other oceanographic processes including air-sea gas exchange, sediment-water diffusion, and earthquake prediction. However, the conventional radon measurement methods suffer many technical disadvantages. We consequently developed a convenient submersible radon determination approach (“OUC-Rn”) using a commercial pulsed ionization chamber (PIC) radon sensor and gas extraction membrane module to produce high precision and high resolution observations. We demonstrate the radon degassing efficiency of the membrane contactor is comparable to the shower-head type air-water exchanger but is independent of operating position. The radon measurement efficiency of the PIC is 2-fold higher than the RAD7 detector and is far less influenced by moisture. We successfully deployed the system in 2.5 meters water depth over a 100 hours period in an anthropogenic influenced bay. Based on our high temporal resolution observations, the SGD flux was estimated to be 0-43.0 cm/d (mean: 25.4 ± 14.5 cm/d). The SGD fluxes pattern plotted together with the tidal variations revealed that tidal pumping may be the main force driving seawater recirculation into aquifers and thus affecting nutrient, carbon and other dissolved matters dynamics in coastal regions.

Radium isotope assessment of submarine groundwater discharge and associated nutrient inputs in Eastern Liaodong Bay, China - Qiaona Guo; Yue Zhao; Mengjun Li; Jinhui Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The accurate assessment of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and associated nutrient fluxes plays a significant role in water resources management and ecological environment protection in the coastal area. Currently, Liaodong Bay has become one of the most polluted marine areas in China. However, the nutrient fluxes carried by the SGD and its environmental effects have not yet been thoroughly reported in eastern Liaodong Bay, China. In this study, the distribution of 224 Ra/ 223 Ra activity ratio and its influencing factors under the geochemical conditions were explored. The activity of radium was affected by the water type and the geochemical factors. The radium isotopes in seawater were positively correlated with the ratios of Mg 2+ /Na + and Ca 2+ /Na + but negatively correlated with salinity and SO 4 2− . The average apparent water age was evaluated to be 13.0 days. Furthermore, based on the radium mass balance model, the total average SGD flux was calculated to be 1.31 × 10 8 m 3 day –1 . The nutrient fluxes carried by the SGD were 7.16 × 10 7 , 1.01 × 10 6 , 1.61 × 10 7 , 0.92 × 10 6 , and 5.41 × 10 7 mol day −1 for DIN, DIP, NH 4 + , NO 2 − , and NO 3 − , respectively. The nutrient inputs through the SGD have an average DIN : DIP ratio of 70, which was able to seriously affect the ecological environment. The SGD-derived nutrient fluxes were higher than the local river input, which demonstrated that the SGD was a major source of nutrients affecting regional marine ecosystems.

Robinia pseudoacacia decline and fine root dynamics in a plantation chronosequence in the Yellow River Delta, China - Longmei Guo; Yuanxiang Pang; Banghua Cao; Zhaofei Fan; Peili Mao; Zexiu Li; Wei Liu; Pengfei Li (Forest Science, 2022)
Fine roots (<2 mm in diameter) play a significant role in tree growth and stand productivity. However, knowledge of fine root dynamics in saline alkali soil remains limited. Using sequential soil core and ingrowth core methods, we assessed the dynamics of aboveground biomass (AGB) and production (AGP), fine root biomass (FRB), production (FRP) and turnover (FRT), and soil properties (water content [SWC], salt content [SSC], pH and nutrients) in 2-, 18-, 32- and 42-year-old black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) stands in the Yellow River Delta, China. Corresponding to the unimodal growth pattern in AGP, the AGB of black locust rapidly increased until age 32 and then slowed down. In contrast, across all depths, FRB and FRP took a unimodal pattern with a decrease in growth around age 32, and FRT continually decreased with stand age. SWC and soil nutrients increased with stand age, whereas SSC and pH decreased with stand age until age 32 and then increased. Based on the correlation analysis, we may presume that in addition to the age effect, the decline of black locust in AGP is most likely caused by SWC, SSC, and pH stresses through the dysfunction in nutrient absorption by fine roots.

Deepened snow loosens temporal coupling between plant and microbial N utilization and induces ecosystem N losses - Zhou Jia; Ping Li; Yuntao Wu; Pengfei Chang; Meifeng Deng; Luyin Liang; Sen Yang; Chengzhang Wang; Bin Wang; Lu Yang; Xin Wang; Zhenhua Wang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Seasonal differences in plant and microbial nitrogen (N) acquisition are believed to be a major mechanism that maximizes ecosystem N retention. There is also a concern that climate change may interrupt the delicate balance in N allocation between plants and microbes. Yet, convincing experimental evidence is still lacking. Using a 15 N tracer, we assessed how deepened snow affects the temporal coupling between plant and microbial N utilization in a temperate Mongolian grassland. We found that microbial 15 N recovery peaked in winter, accounting for 22% of the total ecosystem 15 N recovery, and then rapidly declined during the spring thaw. By stimulating N loss via N 2 O emission and leaching, deepened snow reduced the total ecosystem 15 N recovery by 42% during the spring thaw. As the growing season progresses, the 15 N released from microbial biomass was taken up by plants, and the competitive advantage for N shifted from microbes to plants. Plant 15 N recovery reached its peak in August, accounting for 17% of the total ecosystem 15 N recovery. The Granger causality test showed that the temporal dynamics of plant 15 N recovery can be predicted by microbial 15 N recovery under ambient snow but not under deepened snow. In addition, plant 15 N recovery in August was positively correlated with and best explained by microbial 15 N recovery in March. The lower microbial 15 N recovery under deepened snow in March reduced plant 15 N recovery by 73% in August. Together, our results provide direct evidence of seasonal differences in plant and microbial N utilization that are conducive to ecosystem N retention; however, deepened snow disrupted the temporal coupling between plant–microbial N use and turnover. These findings suggest that changes in snowfall patterns may significantly alter ecosystem N cycling and N‐based greenhouse gas emissions under future climate change. We highlight the importance of better representing winter processes and their response to winter climate change in biogeochemical models when assessing N cycling under global change.

Two LRR-Only Proteins Involved in Antibacterial Defense and Prophenoloxidase System of Swimming Crab Portunus trituberculatus - Ao Zhang; Yuan Liu; Na Guo; Shihao Li; Fuhua Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The leucine-rich repeat (LRR) motif is evolutionarily conserved in many pattern recognition receptors. Compared to the reported LRR proteins with multiple functional domains, the role of LRR-only proteins merely containing LRR motifs remain largely unexplored. In this study, two LRR-only proteins, PtLRR1 and PtLRR2, were identified from the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus. Five LRR motifs with a consensus sequence LxxLxxLxLxxNxL were found in their encoded peptides. Both PtLRR1 and PtLRR2 were dominantly expressed in the hepatopancreas and showed a time-dependent response post bacteria and virus stimulation. The recombinant PtLRR1 could bind to various PAMPs, including LPS, PGN, and GLU. PtLRR1 and PtLRR2 displayed different regulatory activities in inducing the expression of inflammation and proPO system-related genes. Knockdown of PtLRR2 led to the decreased expression of the tested cytokines and adapter, while PtLRR1 knockdown enhanced the expression of serine proteases, serine protease homologues, and proPO genes. In addition, knockdown of PtLRR1 or PtLRR2 reduced the clearance activity of Vibrio but upregulated the expression levels of AMPs and key genes of Toll, IMD, and JNK pathways. These results suggest that PtLRR1 and PtLRR2 could act as potential immune receptors and regulate antibacterial immunity in crab.

Seasonal Variation of Catenary-Bead Dunes in the Yangtze River Estuary: Causes and Implications - Shuwei Zheng; Xinmeng Yuan; Suxian Yang; Heqin Cheng; Xingjie Guo; Yurong Cui; Enfeng Liu; Zijun Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Low-angle lee-side slopes of dunes are commonly developed on the world’s riverbeds, and dune migration associated with sediment transport exert a major influence on riverine processes. However, the catenary-bead dune has been identified in the Yangtze River (YR) Estuary, featuring a higher lee-side angle. To date, the morphological variation and formation reasons of catenary-bead dunes in the YR Estuary remain uncharacterized. In this study, we used a multibeam echo system (MBES) to investigate the bedforms of the YR estuary during 2014–2015, as well as to discuss the seasonal variation of catenary-bead dunes. The results indicate that the catenary-bead dunes of the YR Estuary are characterized by growth during the flood season and extinction during the dry season. The lee-side angle is typically ~16.7°, which is larger than that of other dune types (3.7–8°) in the estuary; moreover, the catenary-bead dunes are higher than other dune types of the same length in the YR Estuary. The relationship between the dune height (H) and length (L) was found to be H = 0.1667L0.603 (R2 = 0.38), while the other dune types yielded the relationship of H = 0.0845L0.758 (R2 = 0.52). Strong runoff superimposing the ebb tide led to the development of catenary-bead dunes. Furthermore, the higher coarse sediment content (69.9–72%) and lower clay content (6.3–6.7%) of the riverbed sediment are favorable for their formation, while the higher curved crest-lines are favorable for the formation of the associated elliptical pits.

Genetic Diversity Evaluation and Population Structure Analysis of Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) from Lakes and Rice Fields by SSR Markers - Xin-Fen Guo; Min Liu; Yu-Lin Zhou; Wen-Yu Wei; Zhi Li; Li Zhou; Zhong-Wei Wang; Jian-Fang Gui (Fishes, 2022)
The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is an important aquatic animal and has developed as a popular aquaculture species in China. In this study, a total of 72,839 SSR motifs were identified from transcriptional data, and 20 microsatellite markers of them were finally developed to assess the genetic diversities of seven wild populations from natural lakes and nine cultured populations from rice fields. Genetic diversity was slightly higher in the cultured populations than in the wild populations. The degree of genetic differentiation between cultured populations is slight, while a moderate to a large degree of genetic differentiation between wild populations and most of the variations occurred within individuals (79%). The analysis of cluster, principal coordinate analysis and STRUCTURE were similar, and they showed that isolation-by-distance pattern was not significant. The microsatellite markers developed in this study can not only be used for genetic monitoring of population but also provide important information for the management of breeding and cultured population in red swamp crayfish.

Genetic manipulation of Haematococcus pluvialis is difficult because of the lack of a stable and convenient transformation system. The pH124-EGFP-Ble vector containing ble as a selective gene and EGFP as a reporter gene was constructed and employed for effective transformation. H. pluvialis protoplasts were obtained by treating with cellulase and macerozeme. Then polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation was established by incubating the protoplast with the vector. To improve the transformation efficiency of H. pluvialis protoplasts, the transformation system was optimized in consideration of different influencing factors, including zeomycin concentration, growth stage, amount of transformed vector, linearization of the vector, and duration of low-intensity illumination. The integration and expression of ble and EGFP was confirmed in the transformants. Moreover, the optimal combination for protoplast transformation of H. pluvialis was determined to be 5 µg of the linearized vector used to transform cells in the log growth phase, and then the transformed protoplasts allowed to recover under low-intensity illumination for 6 h. This study represents and describes the successful development of an H. pluvialis transformation protocol using protoplasts, which will enable convenient genetic manipulation of this important algal species.

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

(EPMA Journal, 2022)
Background Recognising the early signs of ischemic stroke (IS) in emergency settings has been challenging. Machine learning (ML), a robust tool for predictive, preventive and personalised medicine (PPPM/3PM), presents a possible solution for this issue and produces accurate predictions for real-time data processing. Methods This investigation evaluated 4999 IS patients among a total of 10,476 adults included in the initial dataset, and 1076 IS subjects among 3935 participants in the external validation dataset. Six ML-based models for the prediction of IS were trained on the initial dataset of 10,476 participants (split participants into a training set [80%] and an internal validation set [20%]). Selected clinical laboratory features routinely assessed at admission were used to inform the models. Model performance was mainly evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve. Additional techniques—permutation feature importance (PFI), local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME), and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)—were applied for explaining the black-box ML models. Results Fifteen routine haematological and biochemical features were selected to establish ML-based models for the prediction of IS. The XGBoost-based model achieved the highest predictive performance, reaching AUCs of 0.91 (0.90–0.92) and 0.92 (0.91–0.93) in the internal and external datasets respectively. PFI globally revealed that demographic feature age, routine haematological parameters, haemoglobin and neutrophil count, and biochemical analytes total protein and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were more influential on the model’s prediction. LIME and SHAP showed similar local feature attribution explanations. Conclusion In the context of PPPM/3PM, we used the selected predictors obtained from the results of common blood tests to develop and validate ML-based models for the diagnosis of IS. The XGBoost-based model offers the most accurate prediction. By incorporating the individualised patient profile, this prediction tool is simple and quick to administer. This is promising to support subjective decision making in resource-limited settings or primary care, thereby shortening the time window for the treatment, and improving outcomes after IS.

In order to improve the trajectory tracking accuracy of an Underwater Vehicle Manipulator System (UVMS) under uncertain disturbance conditions of ocean current, a Model-free Adaptive Control (MFAC) method was used. Combined with Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN), the RBFNN-MFAC method is proposed to improve the performance of the controller. A hydrodynamic model of UVMS was defined in the commercial software, Fluent, to calculate hydrodynamics disturbance, and the mechanism of the dynamic model of UVMS was defined in the commercial software, Adams, to simulate the motion of UVMS. The trajectory tracking performance with various control schemes, including PID (Proportional Integral Derivative), MFAC and RBFNN-MFAC, were analyzed with the Adams and Simulink joint simulation model. The results show that the position tracking accuracy and the speed tracking accuracy with the MFAC control scheme were 68.1% and 81.0% better, respectively, than those with PID control scheme. The position tracking accuracy and the speed tracking accuracy with the RBFNN-MFAC control scheme were 66.3% and 43.1% better, respectively, than those with the MFAC control scheme. The MFAC control scheme and the RBFNN-MFAC control scheme proposed in this paper exhibit good trajectory tracking performance without the precise dynamic model of UVMS, which is of great importance to applications in engineering.

Identification of the fibroin of Stigmaeopsis nanjingensis by a nanocarrier-based transdermal dsRNA delivery system - Xia Li; Rundong Liu; Gang Li; Daochao Jin; Jianjun Guo; Ronald Ochoa; Tianci Yi (Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2022)
Stigmaeopsis nanjingensis (Ma and Yuan) (Acari: Tetranychidae) is an important pest of bamboo—feeding behavior and silk production by the female adult mites is seriously harmful to bamboo leaves. Due to its small size, silking and cocooning, its management is difficult. This study discusses a fast and easy method for management of the pest by disturbing the spinning behavior. Stigmaeopsis nanjingensis is host specific and feeds only on bamboo leaves. Leaf margins of bamboo are highly hydrophobic, which makes dsRNA difficult to immerse. Hence, it is a challenge to apply the commonly used feeding method to inhibit gene expression in mites. In this study, we deliver dsRNA to interfere with the expression of fibroin by body wall permeation with a nanocarrier-based delivery system. The dsRNA/nanocarrier formulation droplets could enter the body cavity within 2 min after falling on the mite. The fibroin silencing efficiency was 75.4%, and the results of electron microscopy showed that dsRNA/nanocarrier damage the morphological structure of the silk thread. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of a nanocarrier-based percutaneous dsRNA delivery system in S. nanjingensis and its effect on the fibroin gene that influences the spinning behavior of S. nanjingensis. These findings may provide a new delivery system for RNAi-based control of spider mites that utilize protective webbing in the field.

Dissection of the practical soybean breeding pipeline by developing ZDX1, a high-throughput functional array - Rujian Sun; Bincheng Sun; Yu Tian; Shanshan Su; Yong Zhang; Wanhai Zhang; Jingshun Wang; Ping Yu; Bingfu Guo; Huihui Li; Yanfei Li; Huawei Gao; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message We developed the ZDX1 high-throughput functional soybean array for high accuracy evaluation and selection of both parents and progeny, which can greatly accelerate soybean breeding. Abstract Microarray technology facilitates rapid, accurate, and economical genotyping. Here, using resequencing data from 2214 representative soybean accessions, we developed the high-throughput functional array ZDX1, containing 158,959 SNPs, covering 90.92% of soybean genes and sites related to important traits. By application of the array, a total of 817 accessions were genotyped, including three subpopulations of candidate parental lines, parental lines and their progeny from practical breeding. The fixed SNPs were identified in progeny, indicating artificial selection during the breeding process. By identifying functional sites of target traits, novel soybean cyst nematode-resistant progeny and maturity-related novel sources were identified by allele combinations, demonstrating that functional sites provide an efficient method for the rapid screening of desirable traits or gene sources. Notably, we found that the breeding index (BI) was a good indicator for progeny selection. Superior progeny were derived from the combination of distantly related parents, with at least one parent having a higher BI. Furthermore, new combinations based on good performance were proposed for further breeding after excluding redundant and closely related parents. Genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) analysis was the best analysis method and achieved the highest accuracy in predicting four traits when comparing SNPs in genic regions rather than whole genomic or intergenic SNPs. The prediction accuracy was improved by 32.1% by using progeny to expand the training population. Collectively, a versatile assay demonstrated that the functional ZDX1 array provided efficient information for the design and optimization of a breeding pipeline for accelerated soybean breeding.

Genetic and biological characteristics of the globally circulating H5N8 avian influenza viruses and the protective efficacy offered by the poultry vaccine currently used in China - Pengfei Cui; Xianying Zeng; Xuyong Li; Yanbing Li; Jianzhong Shi; Conghui Zhao; Zhiyuan Qu; Yanwen Wang; Jing Guo; Wenli Gu; Qi Ma; Yuancheng Zhang; et al. (Science China Life Sciences, 2022)
The H5N8 avian influenza viruses have been widely circulating in wild birds and are responsible for the loss of over 33 million domestic poultry in Europe, Russia, Middle East, and Asia since January 2020. To monitor the invasion and spread of the H5N8 virus in China, we performed active surveillance by analyzing 317 wild bird samples and swab samples collected from 41,172 poultry all over the country. We isolated 22 H5N8 viruses from wild birds and 14 H5N8 viruses from waterfowls. Genetic analysis indicated that the 36 viruses formed two different genotypes: one genotype viruses were widely detected from different wild birds and domestic waterfowls; the other genotype was isolated from a whopper swan. We further revealed the origin and spatiotemporal spread of these two distinct H5N8 virus genotypes in 2020 and 2021. Animal studies indicated that the H5N8 isolates are highly pathogenic to chickens, mildly pathogenic in ducks, but have distinct pathotypes in mice. Moreover, we found that vaccinated poultry in China could be completely protected against H5N8 virus challenge. Given that the H5N8 viruses are likely to continue to spread in wild birds, vaccination of poultry is highly recommended in high-risk countries to prevent H5N8 avian influenza.

Summary Light is the crucial environmental signal for desiccation‐tolerant cyanobacteria to activate photosynthesis and prepare for desiccation at dawn. However, the photobiological characteristics of desert cyanobacteria adaptation to one of the harshest habitats on Earth remain unresolved. In this study, we surveyed the genome of a subaerial desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme and identified two phytochromes and seven cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) with one or more bilin‐binding GAF (cGMP phosphodiesterase/adenylyl cyclase/FhlA) domains. Biochemical and spectroscopic analyses of 69 purified GAF‐containing proteins from recombinant phycocyanobilin (PCB), biliverdin or phycoerythrobilin‐producing Escherichia coli indicated that nine of these proteins bind chromophores. Further investigation revealed that 11 GAFs form covalent adducts responsive to near‐UV and visible light: eight GAFs contained PCB chromophores, three GAFs contained biliverdin chromophores and one contained the PCB isomer, phycoviolobilin. Interestingly, COO91_03972 is the first‐ever reported GAF‐only CBCR capable of sensing five wavelengths of light. Bioinformatics and biochemical analyses revealed that residue P132 of COO91_03972 is essential for chromophore binding to dual‐cysteine CBCRs. Furthermore, the complement of N . flagelliforme CBCRs is enriched in red light sensors. We hypothesize that these sensors are critical for the acclimatization of N . flagelliforme to weak light environments at dawn.

Occurrence of structural aluminium (Al) in marine diatom biological silica: visible evidence from microscopic analysis - Qian Tian; Dong Liu; Peng Yuan; Mengyuan Li; Weifeng Yang; Jieyu Zhou; Huihuang Wei; Junming Zhou; Haozhe Guo (Ocean Science, 2022)
The global marine biogeochemical cycle of aluminium (Al) is believed to be driven by marine diatoms, due to the uptake of dissolved Al (DAl) by living diatoms from surface seawater. The occurrence of Al in diatom biogenic silica (BSi) can inhibit the dissolution of BSi, thus benefiting the effects of the ballast role of diatoms in the biological pump and forming a coupled Si–Al biogeochemical cycle. However, the occurrence characteristic of Al in marine diatoms is still unclear. In particular, whether or not Al is incorporated into the structure of BSi of living diatoms is unrevealed, resulting in difficulties in understanding the biogeochemical behaviours of Al. In this study, Thalassiosira weissflogii, a widely distributed marine diatom in marginal seas, was selected as the model to evaluate the occurrence of structural Al in BSi based on culturing experiments with the addition of DAl. The structural Al in BSi was detected by combining focused ion beam (FIB) scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping analysis. Visible, direct evidence of structural Al in living BSi was obtained, and the distribution and content of this Al were revealed by the EDS-mapping analysis. The effects of structural Al on BSi dissolution–inhibition are discussed based on the content of this Al. The fundamental results indicate the significant contribution of marine diatoms to the biogeochemical migration of marine Al.

Effect of Bound Water Content on Secondary Compression of Three Marine Silty Clays - Shuo Li; Changming Wang; Fuyan Guo; Xiaoyang Liu; Songling Han; Ruiyuan Gao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Secondary compression studies can provide insights for evaluating the engineering potential and environmental impact of soil. The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of bound water content on the secondary compression of marine silty clay. To this end, a novel method was established based on thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to determine the contents and limits of strongly bound water and weakly bound water for three typical marine silty clays including Tianjin mucky silty clay (TJ), Qingdao mucky silty clay (QD), and Weihai silty clay (WH). A total of 17 groups of uniaxial confined compression tests were performed for reconstituted samples at different absolute water contents under the condition of multistage loading to investigate their secondary compression characteristics. The results show that the initial dehydration temperature of strongly bound water (Ts) corresponds to the peak of the derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) curve. The values of Ts for TJ, QD and WH are 112.35 °C, 109.67 °C and 118.46 °C, respectively. The initial dehydration temperatures of weakly bound water (Tw) for TJ, QD and WH are 55.26 °C, 52.56 °C and 56.56 °C, respectively. The secondary compression coefficient Cα changes little before the strongly bound water limit and increases dramatically as weakly bound water content increases at the same vertical stress. A piecewise linear model and a quadratic polynomial model are established for calculating the average secondary compression coefficient from bound water content. Weakly bound water is the determining factor controlling secondary compression. Increasing the bound water content weakens the connection force and friction force among the particles and the viscosity of weakly bound water. The results will guide decisions on long-term settlement assessment and facilitate understanding of the secondary compression mechanism of marine silty clays affected by bound water.

Neural Network Non-Singular Terminal Sliding Mode Control for Target Tracking of Underactuated Underwater Robots with Prescribed Performance - Liwei Guo; Weidong Liu; Le Li; Yichao Lou; Xinliang Wang; Zhi Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
This paper proposes a neural network-based nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller with prescribed performances for the target tracking problem of underactuated underwater robots. Firstly, the mathematical formulation of the target tracking problem is presented with an underactuated underwater robot model and the corresponding control objectives. Then, the target tracking errors from the line-of-sight guidance law are transformed using the prescribed performance technique to achieve good dynamic performance and steady-state performance that meet the pre-set conditions. Meanwhile, considering the model’s uncertainties and the external disturbances to the underwater robots, a target tracking controller is proposed based on the radial basis function (RBF) neural network and the non-singular terminal sliding mode control. Lyapunov stability analysis and homogeneity theory prove the tracking errors can converge on a small region that contains the origin with prescribed performance in finite time. In the simulation comparison, the controller proposed in this paper had better dynamic performance, steady-state performance and chattering supression. In particular, the steady-state error of the tracking error was lower, and the convergence time of the tracking error in the vertical distance was reduced by 19.1%.

Unexpected high retention of 15 N‐labeled nitrogen in a tropical legume forest under long‐term nitrogen enrichment - Jinhua Mao; Qinggong Mao; Per Gundersen; Geshere A. Gurmesa; Wei Zhang; Juan Huang; Senhao Wang; Andi Li; Yufang Wang; Yabing Guo; Rongzhen Liu; Jiangming Mo; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
The responses of forests to nitrogen (N) deposition largely depend on the fates of deposited N within the ecosystem. Nitrogen‐fixing legume trees widely occur in terrestrial forests, but the fates of deposited N in legume‐dominated forests remain unclear, which limit a global evaluation of N deposition impacts and feedbacks on carbon sequestration. Here, we performed the first ecosystem‐scale 15 N labeling experiment in a typical legume‐dominated forest as well as in a nearby non‐legume forest to determine the fates of N deposition between two different forest types and to explore their underlying mechanisms. The 15 N was sprayed bimonthly for 1 year to the forest floor in control and N addition (50 kg N ha −1 year −1 for 10 years) plots in both forests. We unexpectedly found a strong capacity of the legume forest to retain deposited N, with 75 ± 5% labeled N recovered in plants and soils, which was higher than that in the non‐legume forest (56 ± 4%). The higher 15 N recovery in legume forest was mainly driven by uptake by the legume trees, in which 15 N recovery was approximately 15% more than that in the nearby non‐legume trees. This indicates higher N‐demand by the legume than non‐legume trees. Mineral soil was the major sink for deposited N, with 39 ± 4% and 34 ± 3% labeled N retained in the legume and non‐legume forests, respectively. Moreover, N addition did not significantly change the 15 N recovery patterns of both forests. Overall, these findings indicate that legume‐dominated forests act as a strong sink for deposited N regardless of high soil N availability under long‐term atmospheric N deposition, which suggest a necessity to incorporate legume‐dominated forests into N‐cycling models of Earth systems to improve the understanding and prediction of terrestrial N budgets and the global N deposition effects.

Circular RNA screening identifies circMYLK4 as a regulator of fast/slow myofibers in porcine skeletal muscles - Haigang Cao; Jieming Liu; Tianning Du; Yihao Liu; Xiaoyu Zhang; Yuan Guo; Jie Wang; Xiaomin Zhou; Xiao Li; Gongshe Yang; Xin’e Shi (Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2022)
The type of myofiber is related to the quality of meat. The slow oxidized myofiber helps to increase the tenderness and juiciness of muscle. Numerous studies have shown that circRNA plays a key role in skeletal muscle development. However, the role of circRNA in porcine skeletal myofiber types is unclear. In this study, we performed high-throughput RNA sequencing to study the differential expression of circRNA in the longissimus dorsi and the soleus muscle. A total of 40,757 circRNAs were identified, of which 181 were significantly different. Interestingly, some circRNAs were involved in metabolism pathways, AMPK, FoxO, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. Besides, we focused on a novel circRNA-circMYLK4. By injecting circMYLK4-AAV into piglets, we found that circMYLK4 significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of the slow muscle marker genes.
