Background Currently, the rate of recurrence or metastasis (ROM) remains high in rectal cancer (RC) patients treated with the standard regimen. The potential of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting ROM risk has been reported, but the efficacy is insufficient. Aims This study investigated the potential of a new sequence called readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (RS-EPI) DWI in predicting the ROM risk of patients with RC using machine learning methods to achieve the principle of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM) application in RC treatment. Methods A total of 195 RC patients from two centres who directly received total mesorectal excision were retrospectively enrolled in our study. Machine learning methods, including recursive feature elimination (RFE), the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE), and the support vector machine (SVM) classifier, were used to construct models based on clinical-pathological factors (clinical model), radiomic features from RS-EPI DWI (radiomics model), and their combination (merged model). The Harrell concordance index (C-index) and the area under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated to evaluate the predictive performance at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years. Kaplan‒Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the ability to stratify patients according to the risk of ROM. Findings The merged model performed well in predicting tumour ROM in patients with RC at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years in both cohorts (AUC = 0.887/0.813/0.794; 0.819/0.795/0.783) and was significantly superior to the clinical model (AUC = 0.87 [95% CI: 0.80–0.93] vs. 0.71 [95% CI: 0.59–0.81], p = 0.009; C-index = 0.83 [95% CI: 0.76–0.90] vs. 0.68 [95% CI: 0.56–0.79], p = 0.002). It also had a significant ability to differentiate patients with a high and low risk of ROM (HR = 12.189 [95% CI: 4.976–29.853], p < 0.001; HR = 6.427 [95% CI: 2.265–13.036], p = 0.002). Conclusion Our developed merged model based on RS-EPI DWI accurately predicted and effectively stratified patients with RC according to the ROM risk at an early stage with an individualized profile, which may be able to assist physicians in individualizing the treatment protocols and promote a meaningful paradigm shift in RC treatment from traditional reactive medicine to PPPM.

Plasma Exo-miRNAs Correlated with AD-Related Factors of Chinese Individuals Involved in Aβ Accumulation and Cognition Decline - Lifang Wang; Hefu Zhen; Yuzhe Sun; Shuang Rong; Benchao Li; Zhijie Song; Zhili Liu; Zhiming Li; Jiahong Ding; Huanming Yang; Xiuqing Zhang; Haixi Sun; et al. (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Numerous studies have investigated the risk factors of Alzheimer’s disease (AD); however, AD-risk factors related miRNAs were rarely reported. In this study, AD-risk factor related miRNAs of 105 Chinese individuals (45 AD patients and 60 cognitively normal controls) were investigated. The results showed that Hsa-miR-185-5p, Hsa-miR-20a-5p, and Hsa-miR-497-5p were related to AD and education, Hsa-miR-185-5p, Hsa-miR-181c-5p, Hsa-miR-664a-3p, Hsa-miR-27a-3p, Hsa-miR-451a, and Hsa-miR-320a were related to AD and depression. Target prediction of above miRNAs showed that these miRNAs were involved in the generation and clearance of amyloid-beta (Aβ), important molecules related to cognition, and disease-activated microglia response to AD. It is worth noting that Hsa-miR-185-5p was related to both education and depression, whose decreased expression pattern in AD patients was alleviated by education and enhanced by depression, and participates in Aβ generation and accumulation. Our results indicated that certain education and depression factors can contribute to AD progression by modulating miRNA expression, implying that preventive interventions might alter AD progression in Chinese patients.

Biocrust diazotrophs and bacteria rather than fungi are sensitive to chronic low N deposition - Xiaoying Rong; Xiaobing Zhou; Xiangzhen Li; Minjie Yao; Yongxing Lu; Peng Xu; Benfeng Yin; Yonggang Li; Zachary T. Aanderud; Yuanming Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Anthropogenic long‐term nitrogen (N) deposition may dramatically impact biocrusts due to the overarching N limitation of soil biota in deserts. Even low levels of N may reach a critical loading threshold altering biocrust constituents and function. To identify the impact of chronic and continuous low levels of N deposition on biocrusts, we created a realistic gradient mirroring anthropogenic N addition rate (2:1 NH 4 + : NO 3 − rates: 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 3 g N m −2 yr −1 ) and measured the response of bacteria and fungi within cyanobacterial‐dominated biocrusts over 8 years in a temperate desert, the Gurbantunggut Desert, China. We found that once N deposition reached 1.5 g N m −2 yr −1 biocrust bacterial communities, including diazotrophs, were altered while no such tipping point existed for fungi. Above the threshold, bacterial richness was enhanced, the relative abundance of Chloroflexi, FBP and Gemmatimonadetes was elevated, and diazotrophs shifted from being dominated by Nostocaceae and Scytonemataceae (Cyanobacteria) to free‐living Bradyrhizobiaceae (Alphaproteobacteria). Alternatively, the relative recovery of a few fungal species within the Lecanorales, Pleosporales and Verrucariales became either enriched or diminished due to N deposition. The chronic addition of N resulted in a dense and interconnected bacterial co‐occurrence network that accentuated a functional shift from networks dominated by phototrophic species within the Nostocaceae, Xenococcaceae, Phormidiaceae and Scytonemataceae (Cyanobacteria) to ammonia‐oxidizing species within the Nitrosomonadaceae (Betaproteobacteria) and nitrifying bacteria [i.e. Nitrospiraceae (Nitrospirae)]. Based on structural equation models, the effects of N additions on biocrust constituents were imposed through indirect effects on pH, soil electrical conductivity and ammonium concentrations. In summary, biocrust constituents are generally insensitive to chronic low levels of N depositions until rates reach above 1.5 g N m −2 yr −1 with diazotrophs being the most sensitive biocrust constituents followed by bacteria and finally fungi. Ultimately once the threshold is reached N deposition favours biocrust constituents utilizing inorganic N and other C sources over relying on phototrophic and/or N‐fixing cyanobacteria for C and N.

(Functional & Integrative Genomics, 2022)
microRNA (miRNA) is a type of endogenous short-chain non-coding RNA with regulatory function found in eukaryotes, which is involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular and biological processes. However, the research on the development of cashmere goat secondary hair follicles is still relatively scarce. In this study, small RNA libraries and mRNA libraries of 45 days, 55 days, 65 days, and 75 days of fetal skin of cashmere goats were constructed, and the constructed libraries were sequenced using Illumina Hiseq4000, and the expression profiles of miRNA and mRNA in cashmere goat fetal skin were obtained. The differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs in six control groups were identified and the qRT-PCR experiment shows that the sequencing results are accurate. Sixty-six miRNAs related to secondary hair follicle development were screened, and used TargetScan and miRanda to predict 33 highly expressed miRNA target genes. At the same time, 664 mRNAs related to the development of secondary hair follicles were screened, and GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis were performed. It was found that some miRNA target genes were consistent with the screening results of mRNAs related to secondary hair follicle development and were enriched in Notch signaling pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway. Therefore, miR-145-5p-DLL4, miR-27b-3p-DLL4, miR-30e-5p-DLL4, miR-193b-3p-TGF-β1, miR-181b-5p-NOTCH2, and miR-103-3p-NOTCH2 regulatory network related to the development of secondary hair follicles were constructed and the results of dual-luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that there is a targeted relationship between chi-miR-30e-5p and DLL4, which will provide a basis for molecular mechanism of miRNA-mRNA in the development of the hair follicles in cashmere goats.

Changes in amino acid and fatty acid composition during early development in cobia (Rachycentron canadum) - Jian-sheng Huang; Rong-xin Li; Rui-tao Xie; You-ming Chen; Jian-dong Zhang; Eric Amenyogbe; Gang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
An estimation of the utilization of endogenous nutrients from the yolk sac that occurs during embryonic and early larval development can be a valuable approach to studying the nutritional requirements of fish larvae. In this study, fertilized eggs, embryos (before the membrane, 24 hours after fertilization), newly-hatched larvae (0-d-old), and open-mouthed larvae (3-day-old, unfed rotifers) samples of cobia ( Rachycentron canadum ) were collected to determine the amino acid and fatty acid profiles. Crude protein composition varies significantly for cobia during the different stages of development. The total amino acids, except for lysine(Lys), histidine (His), methionine(Met), serine(Ser), and glycine(Gly), had no significant change in the early development stage ( P > 0.05); the content of other six essential amino acids (EAA) and six non-essential amino acids (NEAA) was consistent with the changing trend of total essential amino acid. From hatching newly hatched larvae to open-mouthed larvae, except for Leu, Phe and Ser, decreased significantly ( P <0.05). From the utilization rate of FAA, the utilization rate of Lys and Leu was the highest (60.26%) and (52.21%) in the embryonic and endogenous nutritional stages, respectively. The water content of the open-mouthed larvae of cobia was significantly higher than that of the fertilized eggs, embryos, and newly hatched larvae ( P < 0.05). Three kinds of saturated fatty acids (SFA), five kinds of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and eight kinds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were detected in the dry samples of each developmental stage. Based on these results, juvenile cobia can thrive with a wide range of crude protein concentrations. Further refinement of commercial cobia production feeds would have beneficial consequences for economic and environmental concerns due to the positive impacts of optimizing the protein component as well as the ability to maintain the rapid growth rates. The results show that the larval development of cobia needs to consume large amounts of n3PUFA (especially DHA and EPA) to improve the larvae’s survival rate. Research methods will always have limitations when evaluating the relationship between early life nutrition interventions and well-being outcomes later in life. This study provides essential information regarding cobia larvae’s fatty acid requirements.

Physiology, metabolism, antibiotic resistance, and genetic diversity of Harveyi clade bacteria isolated from coastal mariculture system in China in the last two decades - Hao Kang; Yongxiang Yu; Meijie Liao; Yingeng Wang; Guanpin Yang; Zheng Zhang; Bin Li; Xiaojun Rong; Chunyuan Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Vibrio bacteria, particularly members of the Harveyi clade, are the most important pathogens of aquatic organisms that cause significant economic losses in the world. It is difficult to provide specific data on taxa of the Harveyi clade for biological research and prevention strategies. Therefore, we conducted an extensive phenotypic and antibiotic resistance study, as well as phylogenetic and molecular typing of 192 isolates of the Harveyi clade collection from 2000 to 2020 with a typical interannual difference from a coastal area in China. The isolates had a significant interspecific genetic and antibiotic resistance diversity. Based on the multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of housekeeping genes ( gyrB , pyrH , recA , and atpA ), 192 Harveyi clade isolates were rapidly and accurately classified into 10 species. The population of these isolates was composed of 95 sequence types (STs), of which 92 STs were newly identified, indicating a high degree of genetic diversity. ST327 ranked first, accounting for 11.5% of the total number of isolates (22 out of 192), followed by ST215 with 6.25%, while 63 STs included single isolates. At the metabolic level, the physiological and biochemical experiments revealed that all the Harveyi clade isolates were positive for oxidase and negative for melibiose. The isolates showed a varied tolerance to 11 antibiotics. No isolates were resistant to neomycin. The percentages of sulfadimidine-resistant strains (61 out of 192), sulfadiazine (44 out of 192), sulfamonomethoxine (44 out of 192), sulfamethoxazole (33 out of 192), thiamphenicol (34 out of 192), ciprofloxacin (52 out of 192), and enrofloxacin (31 out of 192) were 31.77%, 22.92%, 22.92%, 17.19%, 17.71%, 27.08%, and 16.15%, respectively. A proportion of 61.8% of the isolates presented a multiple antibiotic resistance index (MARI) lower than 0.1, indicating that the risk of antibiotic resistance transmission of most of the Harveyi clade is low in mariculture systems in China. These results provide substantial data to support further studies on the identification and genetic and metabolic diversity of Harveyi clade isolates in mariculture systems in China.

Antimicrobial Resistance and Genotype Characteristics of Vibrio scophthalmi Isolated from Diseased Mariculture Fish Intestines With Typical Inter-Annual Variability - Yongxiang Yu; Xiao Liu; Yingeng Wang; Meijie Liao; Miaomiao Tang; Xiaojun Rong; Chunyuan Wang; Bin Li; Zheng Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
As an intestinal organism settled long-term within the gut of marine fish, Vibrio scophthalmi is a potential object for the bacterium genetic variation and adaptation research. The genetic diversity, antimicrobial resistance phenotype, and genotype of 33 V. scophthalmi isolated from diseased marine fish intestines between 2002 and 2020 were evaluated. The results showed that all isolates were frequently resistant to penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, and macrolides and displayed multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype in vitro . Thirty percent of isolates were resistant to more than 20 different drugs. The average insensitive (resistant and intermediate) rate of V. scophthalmi isolates was 49.5%~81.8% between 2002 and 2020, but the t-test revealed that there was no significant difference in the drug-resistance rate of V. scophthalmi isolates with typical interannual variability. Eleven antimicrobial resistance genes ( strB , strA , ant(3 ˝)-I , mphA , blaPSE , qnrS , tetC , tetE , tetM , tetS , and int1 ) were detected in these isolates, but the antimicrobial resistance phenotypes and genotypes of these isolates were not consistent. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) analysis indicated that 33 isolates could be divided into two clusters (G1 and G3) and two single isolates (G2 and G4), and the G2 cluster was isolated from South Sea C. undulates with typical geographical species differences. There was no significant correlation between the drug susceptibility and the genetic types of V. scophthalmi isolates. The results reveal the mismatch phenomenon between antimicrobial resistance and genotype of inherent V. scophthalmi in the marine fish intestines, and the antimicrobial susceptibility isolates might be a potential risk source for storage and transmission of resistance genes.

Sediment Resuspension as a Major Contributor to Sinking Particles in the Northwestern South China Sea: Evidence From Observations and Modeling - Lihua Ran; Wentao Ma; Martin G. Wiesner; Yuntao Wang; Jianfang Chen; Lanlan Zhang; Zhi Yang; Jingjing Zhang; Hongliang Li; Jian Ren; Rong Xiang; Erick Fredj (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The lateral advection of sinking particles is a well-known phenomenon in the South China Sea (SCS) and has a significant impact on the estimation of the efficiency of the biological carbon pump. However, little is known about the sources and pathways of sinking particles. Here, we present benthic and freshwater diatom fluxes and relative abundances collected by a sediment trap deployed at a water depth of 1,000 m and more than 500 m above the seafloor in the northwestern SCS, indicating that laterally transported resuspended sediment accounts for a significant part of the particle flux to the deep sea. A Lagrangian particle tracking model (LPTM) revealed that the resuspended particles likely originated from the neighboring continental slope, approximately 12–145 km to the west of the study site. Sediment trap observations and the LPTM together indicated that the impact of resuspended sediment occurred mainly in the deep water, and especially strong sediment resuspension was related to summer monsoon-induced coastal upwelling. The results suggest that particle resuspension has an important impact on the biological pump as well as on paleoenvironmental reconstructions of the SCS.

Sampling Designs for Monitoring Ichthyoplankton in the Estuary Area: A Case Study on Coilia mystus in the Yangtze Estuary - Xiangyu Long; Rong Wan; Zengguang Li; Dong Wang; Pengbo Song; Fan Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
A fishery-independent survey can provide detailed information for fishery assessment and management. However, the sampling design for the survey on ichthyoplankton in the estuary area is still poorly understood. In this study, we developed six stratified schemes with various sample sizes, attempting to find cost-efficient sampling designs for monitoring Coilia mystus ichthyoplankton in the Yangtze Estuary. The generalized additive model (GAM) with the Tweedie distribution was used to quantify the “true” distribution of C. mystus eggs and larvae, based on the data from the fishery-independent survey in 2019–2020. The performances of different sampling designs were evaluated by relative estimation error (REE), relative bias (RB), and coefficient of variation (CV). The results indicated that appropriate stratifications with intra-stratum homogeneity and inter-stratum heterogeneity could improve precision. The stratified schemes should be divided not only between the North Branch and South Branch but between river and sea. No less than two stratifications in the South Branch could also get better performance. The sample sizes of 45–55 were considered as the cost-efficient range. Compared to other monitoring programs, monitoring ichthyoplankton in the estuary area required a more complex stratification and a higher resolution sampling. The design ideology and optimization methodology in our study would provide references to sampling designs for ichthyoplankton in the estuary area.

Use of historical and contemporary distribution of mammals in China to inform conservation - Kang Huang; He Zhang; Chengliang Wang; Rong Hou; Pei Zhang; Gang He; Songtao Guo; Shiyi Tang; Baoguo Li; Charles Oxnard; Ruliang Pan (Conservation Biology, 2021)
A systematic understanding of dynamic animal extinction trajectories for different regions in a nation like China is critically important to developing practical conservation strategies. We explored historical and contemporary changes in terrestrial mammalian diversity to determine how diversity in each of the 5 regions in China has changed over time and to examine the conservation potential of these regions. We used records from databases on Pleistocene mammalian fossils and historical distribution records (1175–2020) for Primates (as a case study) to reconstruct evolutionary and historical distribution trajectories of the 11 orders of terrestrial mammals and to predict their prospective survival based on the national conservation strategy applied. The results indicated that since the Pleistocene, 4–5 mammalian orders have been lost in the northeast, 3 in central China, 2 along the coast, and 1 in the northwest. In the southwest, all 11 orders were maintained. Contemporarily, the coast and southwest had the highest and second‐highest species densities. The southwest region and southeastern sections of the northwest region were the most historically and contemporarily diverse areas, which suggests that they should be the first priority for protected area (PA) designation. The central and coastal areas should be secondarily prioritized. In these 2 regions, conservation should focus on human coexistence with nature. Less attention should be paid to the PA in the northeast and western northwest because in these areas ecosystems are depauperate and the climate is harsh. Conservation in these areas should focus principally on avoiding further human encroachment on natural areas. Article impact statement : Historical and contemporary patterns of extinction can be a basis for mammalian conservation strategies.

The Non-stationary Environmental Effects on Spawning Habitat of Fish in Estuaries: A Case Study of Coilia mystus in the Yangtze Estuary - Dong Wang; Rong Wan; Zengguang Li; Junbo Zhang; Xiangyu Long; Pengbo Song; Lu Zhai; Shuo Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The estuarine areas provide necessary spawning habitat, nursing habitat, and migratory for a variety of fishes and the environmental conditions are of significant heterogeneity. Coilia mystus is the key commercial fish that spawns in the Yangtze Estuary and the yield has declined sharply in the past 30 years. In order to understand the spawning habitat selection mechanism of C. mystus , the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model was applied to explore the non-stationary effect of environmental variables [e.g., the sea surface temperature (SST) and the sea surface salinity (SSS)] and geographical variables [e.g., the distance to the coast (DTC) and the depth (DEP) of water] on the egg density distribution of C. mystus . The data were derived from the spring and summer ichthyoplankton surveys carried out from 2019 to 2020 in the Yangtze Estuary, China. The GWR model results showed that the key variables in different seasons had spatial non-stationary effects on the distribution of spawning habitat of C. mystus , which were mainly caused by regional rise in temperature and saltwater intrusion of the South Branch. In the spring, the SSS, the DTC, and the DEP were the main impact factors and saltwater intrusion in the South Branch might lead to the trend that the spawning habitat moved further upstream to the Changxing Island. The SST was most important in the summer and the relatively lower SST was more crucial in the spawning habitat selection than the DTC and the DEP. The GWR model performed well in the study of C. mystus potential spawning habitat in the Yangtze Estuary. We recommend that more attention should be paid in regional variation of environmental factors to explore fish potential spawning habitat in the estuarine areas.

A new atypical short‐chain dehydrogenase is required for interfungal combat and conidiation in Trichoderma guizhouense - Hong Zhu; Jian Zhang; Qi Gao; Guan Pang; Tingting Sun; Rong Li; Zhenzhong Yu; Qirong Shen (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Hypocrealean Trichoderma are the most extensively studied facultative mycoparasites against phytopathogenic fungi. Aerial hyphae of Trichoderma guizhouense can rapidly proliferate over Fusarium oxysporum hyphae, cause sporadic cell death and arrest the growth of the host. The results of the present study demonstrated that a unique short‐chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR), designated as TgSDR1, was expressed at a high level in T . guizhouense challenged by the hosts. Similar to other SDRs family members, the TgSDR1 protein contains a cofactor‐binding motif and a catalytic site. The subcellular localization assay revealed that the TgSDR1::GFP fusion protein translocated to lipid droplets in mycelia and conidia. The data obtained using reverse genetic approach indicated that TgSDR1 is associated with antifungal ability, plays an important role in providing reducing equivalents in the form of NADPH and regulates the amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism in T . guizhouense upon encountering a host. Moreover, the TgSDR1 deletion mutant was defective in conidiation. Thus, TgSDR1 functions as a key metabolic enzyme in T . guizhouense to regulate mycotrophic interactions, defence against other fungi, such as F . oxysporum , and conidiation.

Hippocampal Interneurons are Required for Trace Eyeblink Conditioning in Mice - Wei-Wei Zhang; Rong-Rong Li; Jie Zhang; Jie Yan; Qian-Hui Zhang; Zhi-An Hu; Bo Hu; Zhong-Xiang Yao; Hao Chen (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
While the hippocampus has been implicated in supporting the association among time-separated events, the underlying cellular mechanisms have not been fully clarified. Here, we combined in vivo multi-channel recording and optogenetics to investigate the activity of hippocampal interneurons in freely-moving mice performing a trace eyeblink conditioning (tEBC) task. We found that the hippocampal interneurons exhibited conditioned stimulus (CS)-evoked sustained activity, which predicted the performance of conditioned eyeblink responses (CRs) in the early acquisition of the tEBC. Consistent with this, greater proportions of hippocampal pyramidal cells showed CS-evoked decreased activity in the early acquisition of the tEBC. Moreover, optogenetic suppression of the sustained activity in hippocampal interneurons severely impaired acquisition of the tEBC. In contrast, suppression of the sustained activity of hippocampal interneurons had no effect on the performance of well-learned CRs. Our findings highlight the role of hippocampal interneurons in the tEBC, and point to a potential cellular mechanism subserving associative learning.

Molecular Characterization of Hsp47 in Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and Its Correlation with Type I Collagen in Response to Fish Aerobic Exercise - Xiao Liang; Ying Wan; Zhiyuan Shen; Yanmei Liu; Dapeng Li; Li Li; Rong Tang; Xi Zhang (Fishes, 2021)
Heat shock protein 47 (Hsp47) is a collagen-specific molecular chaperone that is indispensable for molecular maturation of collagen. In this study, hsp47 and hsp47-like cDNAs were cloned and characterized in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). The cDNAs were 1212 and 1218 base pairs long, respectively, and included an open reading frame encoding 403 and 405 amino acids. The molecular phylogeny based on the deduced amino acid sequences indicated that the correct sequences of the hsp47 and hsp47-like cDNA were obtained and the deduced proteins clustered distinctly into teleost clades. Primary structure analysis and characterization of Hsp47 and Hsp47-like shared the basic structure and biofunctions of Hsp47 in vertebrates. The spatial pattern of gene expression revealed that hsp47 and hsp47-like were relatively ubiquitous in different tissues and highly expressed in heart and skin. The expression levels of hsp47 and hsp47-like and type I collagen mRNAs varied similarly in different tissues. Type I collagen content increased significantly with the increase of water velocity in the muscle of grass carp in response to aerobic exercise. Among the gene expression changes of hsp47, hsp47-like, col1a1 and col1a2 in muscle that occurred in response to aerobic exercise, the change of type I collagen was most strongly correlated with hsp47 expression. Additionally, col1a1 showed the highest correlation with hsp47-like and col1a2 showed the highest correlation with hsp47. These findings suggest that grass carp Hsp47 and Hsp47-like are closely related to type I collagen synthesis. This study firstly suggests fish aerobic exercise can improve type I collagen content and Hsp47 gene expression in muscle of grass carp.

Slight Increases in Salinity Improve Muscle Quality of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) - Xi Zhang; Zhiyuan Shen; Tianpeng Qi; Rujuan Xi; Xiao Liang; Li Li; Rong Tang; Dapeng Li (Fishes, 2021)
Fish muscle quality is an important parameter in the aquaculture industry. In this study, we analyzed and compared the muscle quality of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) cultured at salinities of 0‰, 3‰, and 6‰ (GC0, GC3, GC6). There was no significant difference in crude protein and crude fat content of muscle between GC0 and GC3. Crude fat was significantly lower in GC6 compared to the other groups. GC3 and GC6 had higher hydroxyproline content, which suggested that these groups had higher collagen content. GC3 and GC6 had higher contents of free amino acids and umami amino acids than GC0, but there was no significant difference in sweet or sour amino-acid content among groups. GC3 and GC6 had better texture properties, including hardness, gumminess, chewiness, resilience, and springiness, than GC0. GC3 had the highest water-holding capacity among the groups. As the salinity increased, the diameter of muscle fibers decreased and the sarcolemma showed a thickening trend. These results suggest that a slight increase in salinity (i.e., 3‰) can effectively improve the muscle quality of grass carp.

A New Record of Oxytricha granulifera granulifera Foissner and Adam, 1983 (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Oxytrichidae) From a Hot Spring in Iceland, With Notes on Its Abnormal Form During Cultivation - Rong Zhu; Zhishuai Qu; Qi Zhang; Sabine Filker; Thorsten Stoeck; Fengchao Li; Xiaozhong Hu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
We isolated a population of Oxytricha granulifera granulifera Foissner and Adam (1983) from a hot spring in Iceland. The pure culture of this isolate was established at room temperature in the laboratory. This allowed for a detailed investigation, informed by integrated approaches, of the isolate’s morphology and morphogenesis, as well as molecular phylogeny. Results showed that the morphological and morphogenetic characteristics of the Iceland population are consistent with those of other populations. During the 3-year long period of laboratory cultivation, some abnormal individuals appeared repeatedly in the culture system. Interestingly, the morphological characteristics of these abnormal cells were rather stable, and were as follows: 1) body slender and elliptical-shaped; 2) remarkably shortened adoral zone and significantly reduced number of adoral membranelles; and 3) loss of undulating membranes. Resting cysts, binary fission and conjugate reproduction were not found in abnormal specimens. Although the morphology of abnormal individuals changed significantly, the sequences of the SSU rDNA of the normal and abnormal morphotypes were the same. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the two morphotypes clustered in a clade with other populations of O. granulifera granulifera .

Knockdown of Arginyl-tRNA Synthetase Attenuates Ischemia-Induced Cerebral Cortex Injury in Rats After Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion - Yang Liu; Xue-Bin Hu; Li-Zhi Zhang; Zi Wang; Rong Fu (Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Some researchers have previously shown that RNAi knockdown of arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) before or after a hypoxic injury can rescue animals from death, based on the model organism, C. elegans . However, there has been no study on the application of arginyl-tRNA synthetase knockdown in treating mammalian ischemic stroke, and its potential mechanism and effect on ischemic brain damage are still unknown. Here, we focused on the Rars gene, which encodes an arginyl-tRNA synthetase, and examined the effects of Rars knockdown in a permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion model in rats. To achieve this aim, adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were given right cerebral cortex injections of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) adenovirus (AV) particles to knock down arginyl-tRNA synthetase, and a non-targeting control (NTC) vector or phosphate-buffered solution served as the controls. After 4 days, the rats were exposed to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO). Then, the right cerebral cortex level of arginyl-tRNA synthetase was examined, and the effects of the Rars knockdown were evaluated by differences in infarction volume, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier, mitochondrial function, and glucose metabolism at 1 day and 3 days after MCAO. The injection of shRNA adenovirus particles successfully suppressed the expression of arginyl-tRNA synthetase in the cerebral cortex. We observed an improvement in oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and glucose utilization and a reduction in brain edema compared with the non-targeting control rats with suppressed expression of arginyl-tRNA synthetase mRNA in the ipsilateral ischemic cortex of the brain. Our findings indicate that knockdown of arginyl-tRNA synthetase in the cerebral cortex exerted neuroprotective effects, which were achieved not only by the improvement of oxidative stress and glucose utilization but also by the maintenance of mitochondrial morphological integrity and the preservation of mitochondrial function. Knockdown of ArgRS administration could be a promising approach to protect ischemic stroke.

The CMIP6 Historical Simulation Datasets Produced by the Climate System Model CAMS-CSM - Xinyao Rong; Jian Li; Haoming Chen; Jingzhi Su; Lijuan Hua; Zhengqiu Zhang; Yufei Xin (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2021)
This paper describes the historical simulations produced by the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS) climate system model (CAMS-CSM), which are contributing to phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The model description, experiment design and model outputs are presented. Three members’ historical experiments are conducted by CAMS-CSM, with two members starting from different initial conditions, and one excluding the stratospheric aerosol to identify the effect of volcanic eruptions. The outputs of the historical experiments are also validated using observational data. It is found that the model can reproduce the climatological mean states and seasonal cycle of the major climate system quantities, including the surface air temperature, precipitation, and the equatorial thermocline. The long-term trend of air temperature and precipitation is also reasonably captured by CAMS-CSM. There are still some biases in the model that need further improvement. This paper can help the users to better understand the performance and the datasets of CAMS-CSM.

Habitat fragmentation changes top‐down and bottom‐up controls of food webs - Rong Wang; Xin Zhang; Yi‐Su Shi; Yuan‐Yuan Li; Jianguo Wu; Fangliang He; Xiao‐Yong Chen (Ecology, 2020)
Top‐down and bottom‐up controls regulate the structure and stability of ecosystems, but their relative roles in terrestrial systems have been debated. Here we studied a hydro‐inundated land‐bridge system in subtropical China and tested the relative importance of these two controls in determining the rodent‐mediated regeneration of a locally dominant tree species. Our results showed that both controls operated in terrestrial habitats and that their relative importance switched as habitat size changed. Habitat loss initially removed predators of rodents that released rodent populations and triggered massive seed predation (top‐down control), leading to reduced seedling establishment. A further reduction in habitat size led to decrease in rodent population that was supposed to increase seedling survival of the tree species, but the decline in habitat size deteriorated the abiotic environments (bottom‐up control) that severely prevented seedling recruitment. As the ongoing global land use change is creating increasing number of small‐sized forest fragments, our findings provide novel insights into the restoration of seriously fragmented forests.

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) - Zhi-lin Sun; Xiao Li; Wan Zhou; Jun-di Yan; Yue-rong Gao; Xiao-wei Li; Jia-chen Sun; Ke-feng Fang; Qing Zhang; Yu Xing; Ling Qin; Qing-qin Cao (Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2020)
Chinese chestnut ( Castanea mollissima ) is an important germplasm resource for the breeding of Castanea species worldwide with vital ecological and economic value. Biotechnology overcomes the limitations of traditional breeding and accelerates germplasm improvement. However, a genetic transformation system for Chinese chestnut has not yet been established. In this study, a stable and efficient Agrobacterium -mediated genetic transformation method for Chinese chestnut is described. Embryogenic calli of C. mollissima cv. ‘Yanshanhongli’ were used as the target material. The sensitivity of embryogenic calli to kanamycin was determined, whereby the proliferation of non-transformed calli was completely inhibited at 180 mg/L. Antibiotic inhibition results for Chinese chestnut embryogenic calli showed that 50 mg/L cefotaxime and 500 μM timentin completely inhibited the growth of Agrobacterium tumefaciens but did not affect the normal growth of Chinese chestnut embryogenic calli. When embryogenic calli were co-cultured for 2 days with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL1 harboring the PBI121-EGFP plasmid, an embryogenic callus transformation efficiency of 4.55% was obtained, and two transgenic chimera were acquired. This Agrobacterium -mediated transformation system for Chinese chestnut provides a fundamental platform for genetic improvement of core germplasm and for further verification of gene function.

Antler stem cells as a novel stem cell source for reducing liver fibrosis - Xiaoli Rong; Yanyan Yang; Guokun Zhang; Haiying Zhang; Chunyi Li; Yimin Wang (Cell and Tissue Research, 2020)
Liver fibrosis results from collagen fiber deposition. Antler stem cells (ASCs) naturally in vivo differentiate into cartilage, which is only made of Col II in collagen component; whereas liver fibrosis is caused by over-abundance of Col I and III. In addition, ASCs can effectively promote regenerative wound healing in which tissue contains very few collagen fibers (Col I). In this study, we investigate the therapeutic effects of ASCs in a rat model of CCl 4 -induced liver fibrosis. Rats were treated with ASCs for 4 weeks in vivo, then biochemical and histopathological analyses were performed. Furthermore, we established cell co-culture systems of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and ASCs and of M1 macrophages and ASCs in vitro. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were used as a positive control. The results showed that ASC transplantation alleviated liver fibrosis effectively as evidenced by reduced collagen accumulation, decreased fatty degeneration, increased hepatocyte regeneration, decreased inflammation and significantly enhanced liver function; moreover, ASCs decreased the expression of pro-fibrogenic factors including TGF-β and α-SMA. Additionally, our study showed that ASCs inhibit HSC activation and proliferation by controlling the expression of MMPs, TIMP1, TGF-β, α-SMA and COL1A2 involved in these processes. Our results suggested that ASCs alleviate liver fibrosis effectively and inhibit HSC activation. Thus, ASCs may serve as a novel stem cell source for the treatment of liver fibrosis in the clinic.

Interaction Between Planetary Boundary Layer and PM2.5 Pollution in Megacities in China: a Review - Yucong Miao; Jing Li; Shiguang Miao; Huizheng Che; Yaqiang Wang; Xiaoye Zhang; Rong Zhu; Shuhua Liu (Current Pollution Reports, 2019)
Purpose of Review During the past decades, the number and size of megacities have been growing dramatically in China. Most of Chinese megacities are suffering from heavy PM 2.5 pollution. In the pollution formation, the planetary boundary layer (PBL) plays an important role. This review is aimed at presenting the current state of understanding of the PBL-PM 2.5 interaction in megacities, as well as to identify the main gaps in current knowledge and further research needs. Recent Findings The PBL is critical to the formation of urban PM 2.5 pollution at multiple temporal scales, ranging from diurnal change to seasonal variation. For the essential PBL structure/process in pollution, the coastal megacities have different concerns from the mountainous or land-locked megacities. In the coastal cities, the recirculation induced by sea-land breeze can accumulate pollutants, whereas in the valley/basin, the blocking effects of terrains can lead to stagnant conditions and thermal inversion. Within a megacity, although the urbanization-induced land use change can cause thermodynamic perturbations and facilitate the development of PBL, the increases in emissions outweigh this impact, resulting in a net increase of aerosol concentration. Moreover, the aerosol radiative effects can modify the PBL by heating the upper layers and reducing the surface heat flux, suppressing the PBL and exacerbating the pollution. Summary This review presented the PBL-PM 2.5 interaction in 13 Chinese megacities with various geographic conditions and elucidated the critical influencing processes. To further understand the complicated interactions, long-term observations of meteorology and aerosol properties with multi-layers in the PBL need to be implemented.
