Anchor Chain Optimization Design of a Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring System Based on Adaptive Sampling - Qiang Sun; Wenbo Li; Rundong Li; Dongsheng Peng; Qiang Guo; Yan Zhao; Qianjin Yue; Wanxie Zhong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
A catenary anchor leg mooring system (CALM) is one of the main kinds of offshore transport terminals. Its buoyancy is connected by multiple anchor chains fixed on the seabed. Because a large deformation characterizes the anchor chain, it is prone to fatigue failure under dynamic loads in marine environments. These factors lead to many challenges in the design optimization of anchor chains. This study aims to develop a rapid optimization design framework for a mooring anchor chain with cost minimization as the design objective. In this framework, an approximation model of the mooring analysis is built based on an adaptive sampling method, and a combination of a genetic algorithm and a sequential quadratic programming method is utilized to optimize the established approximation model. The results show that the framework significantly reduces the computation time, and the error of the final optimization result obtained by adaptive sampling is significantly reduced. We found that using a quadratic or elliptic function as an adaptive function is good enough to obtain the optimization result.

Background Long noncoding RNA ANRIL has been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and is expected to be a new target for prevention of DKD. However, the circulating expression and clinical significance of ANRIL in DKD patients is uncertain. This study aims to explore this issue. Methods The study consisted of 20 healthy controls, 22 T2DM patients (normalbuminuria) and 66 DKD patients (grouped as follows: microalbuminuria, n = 23; macroalbuminuria, n = 22 and renal dysfunction, n = 21). The expressions of ANRIL in peripheral whole blood of all participants were measured by RT-qPCR. Results The expression of ANRIL was significantly up-regulated in DKD patients (microalbuminuria, macroalbuminuria and renal dysfunction groups) than that in healthy control group. ANRIL was also over-expressed in macroalbuminuria and renal dysfunction groups in comparison with normalbuminuria group. ANRIL expression was positively correlated with Scr, BUN, CysC, urine β2-MG and urine α1-MG; while negatively correlated with eGFR in DKD patients. In addition, ANRIL was the risk factor for DKD with OR value of 1.681. The AUC of ANRIL in identifying DKD was 0.922, and the sensitivity and specificity of DKD diagnosis were 83.3% and 90.5%, respectively. Conclusion Our results indicated that highly expressed ANRIL in peripheral blood is associated with progression of DKD. Circulating ANRIL is an independent risk factor of DKD and has a highly predictive value in identifying DKD.

Purpose Neutralizing antibodies, administrated through intravenous infusion, have shown to be highly efficacious in treating mild and moderate COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lung. However, antibodies do not transport across the plasma-lung barrier efficiently, and up to 100 mg/kg dose was used in human causing significant supply and cost burdens. This study was to explore the feasibility of nebulized antibodies inhalation delivery as an alternative route. Methods HB27, a potent RBD-specific humanized monoclonal antibody (Zhu et al. in National Sci Rev. 8:nwaa297, 2020), showed excellent protection against SARS-CoV-2 in animal model and good safety profile in clinical studies. The pharmacokinetics and preliminary safety of HB27 administrated through the respiratory tract were studied in mice and cynomolgus monkeys here. Results At a single 5 mg/kg dose, the peak HB27 concentration in mice pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) reached 857.8 μg/mL, 670-fold higher than the PRNT 90 value of 1.28 μg/mL, and maintained above PRNT 90 over 240 h. In contrast, when administrated by intravenous injection at a 5 mg/kg dose, the antibody concentrations in mice ELF were below PRNT 90 value throughout, and were about 50-fold lower than that in the serum. In cynomolgus monkeys administrated with a single dose through inhalation, the antibody concentration in ELF remained high within 3 days. No drug-related safety concerns were observed in the studies. Conclusions The study demonstrated that nebulized neutralizing antibody delivery though inhalation could be a more efficient and efficacious alternative approach for treating COVID-19 and other respiratory infectious diseases, and warrants further evaluation in clinical studies.

Racial Differences in Left Ventricular Filling Pressure Following Acute Aerobic Exercise Between Chinese and Caucasians - Peng Sun; Huimin Yan; Sushant M. Ranadive; Abbi D. Lane; Rebecca M. Kappus; Tracy Baynard; Xiaodan Sun; Shichang Li; Bo Fernhall (Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise, 2022)
Background Left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) is an important early indicator of heart failure that is more prevalent in Caucasians than Chinese. Exercise-induced change in LVFP may provide more incremental information to assess diastolic function. But it was unknown whether there was difference in LVFP following acute exercise between Caucasians and Chinese. Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of LVFP following an acute 45-min aerobic exercise in healthy Caucasian and Chinese individuals. Methods Sixty participants (30 Caucasians and 30 Chinese, half was male, respectively) performed an acute bout of aerobic exercise at 70% of heart rate reserve. Hemodynamics, Left ventricle (LV) morphology and function parameters were measured at baseline, then at 30-min and 60-min post-exercise. Results There was a similar LV ejection fraction, LV fraction shorten, lateral E / e ʹ and lateral e ʹ between Chinese and Caucasians at baseline. There was a significant race-by-time interaction in lateral E / e ʹ and lateral e ʹ between Chinese and Caucasians from pre-exercise to 30 min and 60 min after acute aerobic exercise. The Δ E / e ʹ was significant correlated with baseline systolic blood pressure. Conclusion The change of LVFP was different between Chinese and Caucasians following acute aerobic exercise. The racial differences may be primarily caused by the changes of LV relaxation following exercise, baseline systolic blood pressure may also contribute to the differences.

Review of the State-of-Art of MPS Method in Ocean Engineering - Zhe Sun; Li-Yuan Dou; Si-Yuan Tan; Zi-Kai Xu; Kamal Djidjeli; Yan Zhou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
When dealing with the complex deformation of free surface such as wave breaking, traditional mesh-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods often face problems arising alongside grid distortion and re-meshing. Therefore, the meshless method became robust for treating large displaced free surface and other boundaries caused by moving structures. The particle method, which is an important branch of meshless method, is mainly divided into the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) methods. Different from the SPH method, which involves continuity and treat density as a variable when building kernel functions, the kernel function in the MPS method is a weight function which treats density as a constant, and the spatial derivatives are discretized by establishing the gradient operator and Laplace operator separately. In other words, the first- or second-order continuity of the kernel functions in the MPS method is not a necessity as in SPH, though it might be desirable. At present, the MPS method has been successfully applied to various violent-free surface flow problems in ocean engineering and diverse applications have been comprehensively demonstrated in a number of review papers. This work will focus on algorithm developments of the MPS method and to provide all perspectives in terms of numerical algorithms along with their pros and cons.

Counter-rotating eddy pair in the Luzon Strait - Ruili Sun; Peiliang Li; Yanzhen Gu; Fangguo Zhai; Yunwei Yan; Bo Li; Yang Zhang (Ocean Science, 2022)
Based on satellite remote-sensing observation data and Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) re-analysis data, we studied the counter-rotating eddy pair in the Luzon Strait (LS). Statistical analysis reveals that when an anti-cyclonic mesoscale eddy (AE) (cyclonic mesoscale eddy [CE]) in the Northwest Pacific (NWP) gradually approaches the east side of the LS, a CE (an AE) gradually forms on the west side of the LS, and it is defined as the AE (CE) mode of the counter-rotating eddy pair in the LS. The counter-rotating eddy pair exhibits obvious seasonal variation: the AE mode mainly occurs in the summer half of the year, while the CE mode mainly occurs in the winter half of the year. The mean durations of the AE and CE modes are both approximately 70 d. Based on the vorticity budget equation and energy analysis, the dynamic mechanism of counter-rotating eddy-pair occurrence is determined to be as follows: the AE (CE) on the east side of the LS causes a positive (negative) vorticity anomaly through horizontal velocity shear on the west side of the LS, and the positive (negative) vorticity anomaly is transported westward by the zonal advection of the vorticity, finally leading to the formation of the CE (AE) on the west side of the LS.

Spatio-Temporal Variation of Economic Drivers of Urban Heat Island Effect in Yangtze River Delta - Yongzhe Yan; Yanwei Sun; Peng Tian; Jialin Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
It is not deep enough that the theoretical and empirical analysis of economic drivers on the urban heat island (UHI) effect have been researched. Consequently, the study of economic drivers of the UHI effect is not only conducive to the governance of the UHI problem but also conducive to deepening the study of related issues in the economic field. The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region of China has developed economic status and the special geography of estuaries and coasts. Therefore, 26 central cities in the YRD region are selected as research samples, and the period from 2003 to 2017 is taken as the observation period. The Spatio-temporal variability of UHI intensity caused by industrialization and urbanization is analyzed by using MODIS land surface temperature (LST) data and related yearbook data. The conclusions are as follows:(1) The UHI intensity of cities in the YRD region is significant and fluctuates to a certain extent. (2) Empirical analysis shows that the agglomeration of single economic factors in the process of industrialization and urbanization does correlate with the UHI intensity in the YRD region, but the correlation may show a downward trend due to the influence of exogenous factors suc0h as physical geography. (3) In terms of economic drivers, the combination of multiple factors can produce a greater UHI intensity. The model of their impacts on UHI intensity is increasingly-changed, which is from a model of Fixed Asset Investment and the Motor Vehicle Population as dominant factors to a model of multiple overlapping economic factors, and the latter has a greater impact.

Gonad Transcriptome and Whole-Genome DNA Methylation Analyses Reveal Potential Sex Determination/Differentiation Mechanisms of the Deep-Sea Mussel Gigantidas platifrons - Zhaoshan Zhong; Minxiao Wang; Hao Chen; Hao Wang; Huan Zhang; Li Zhou; Yan Sun; Lei Cao; Chao Lian; Mengna Li; Chaolun Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Gigantidas platifrons is one of the most dominant deep-sea mussels in cold seeps ecosystems in the South China sea. Studies have shown that deep-sea mussels are a gonochoristic species, however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of sex determination in G. platifrons . In this study, RNA-seq and WGBS methylation analysis were performed on adult G. platifrons gonads to identify potential sex-related genes and generate a comprehensive analysis of sex determination in deep-sea mussels. A total of 5923 genes were identified as differentially expressed between the ovaries and testes, of which 2711 were female-biased and 3212 were male-biased. Among them, 161 genes may participate in the sex determination, and we found that DMRT2 may play an important role in male sex determination, and FOXL2 , Wnt7 , and β-catenin may have impact on female sex determination. Moreover, common expression patterns were found in majority of the sex-related genes such as FOXL2 , β-catenin , and genes in SOX family, suggesting the sex determination mechanisms of mussels in different habitats were conserved. The 5mC levels of transcription start sites (TSS2K) were significantly higher in sex-related genes than other DEGs in both gonads. Positive correlation was observed between sex-related genes expression and methylation in male, however, the effects of the DNA methylation on gene expression were complex in female. In short, we argue that sex determination mechanisms of deep-sea mussel G. platifrons is mainly controlled by genetic, and the methylation may have a regulation role on male sex determination or differentiation.

Global characteristics of ambient seismic noise - Xiaomeng Li; Yan Xu; Chaodi Xie; Shanshan Sun (Journal of Seismology, 2022)
Ambient seismic noise becomes more and more important and helpful on assisting velocity model inversion, earthquake detection, and ground motion prediction. Based on the analysis of continuous seismic data and ocean wave height, we find that the ocean wave height and winter storms have a controlling factor on the DF microseismic energy level and its frequency extent in time scale. It shows that high and low DF microseismic energy accompanied with wide and narrow frequency range consistent with the high wave height period (when the ocean is stormier) and low wave height period, respectively. Since DF microseism is dominated by Rayleigh waves, its energy attenuates very quickly when it travels through shoreline to the continent crust. Our observations give a quality factor Q of about 83 for DF energy traveling from the middle of the Atlantic to the central of Europe. We observe a lower energy level of SPDF (short period DF) than that of LPDF (long period DF) for the continent stations, however a reversed situation for the island stations. It suggests that short period DF energy decays faster than the long period one. High-frequency ambient noise is called microtremor. The microtremor for the island station with low elevation has a semidiurnal modulation in phase with ocean tide. The microtremor for the station at other locations are from the anthropogenic activities which have diurnal, weekly, and annually variations.

Molecular mechanisms and differences in lynch syndrome developing into colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer based on gene expression, methylation, and mutation analysis - Hongfeng Li; Liwei Sun; Yan Zhuang; Caijuan Tian; Fang Yan; Zhenzhen Zhang; Yuanjing Hu; Pengfei Liu (Cancer Causes & Control, 2022)
Purpose The aim of this study was to screen biomarkers specific to Lynch syndrome (LS) with colorectal cancer (CRC) or endometrial cancer (EC) to explore the mechanisms by which LS develops into CRC and EC and their differences. Methods Differentially expressed or differentially methylated genes and differential mutations were identified in 10 LS, 50 CRC, and 50 EC patients from TCGA, and genes overlapping between LS and CRC or EC (named SGs-LCs and SGs-LEs, respectively) were identified. Afterward, we annotated the enriched GO terms and pathways and constructed a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network. Finally, samples from 10 clinical cases with MSI-H/MSS CRC and EC were collected to verify the mutations and their correlations with five LS pathogenic genes in the SGs-LCs and SGs-LEs. Results A total of 494 SGs-LCs and 104 SGs-LEs were identified and enriched in 106 and 14 GO terms, respectively. There were great differences in the gene count and enriched terms between SGs-LCs and SGs-LEs. In the PPI network, SST , GCG , SNAP25 , and NPY had the highest degree of connection among the SGs-LCs, and KIF20A and NUF2 had the highest degree of connection among the SGs-LE. In the SGs-LCs and SGs-LEs, the genes whose expression levels affected the survival of LS, CRC or EC patients were quite different. Conclusions COL11A1 was found to be mutated in MSS CRC patients, similar to the mutations of MSH6 . SST , GCG , SNAP25 , and NPY may be biomarkers for the development of LS into CRC, and KIF20A and NUF2 may be markers of LS developing into EC.

Thermal adaptation occurs in the respiration and growth of widely distributed bacteria - Weitao Tian; Huimin Sun; Yan Zhang; Jianjun Xu; Jia Yao; Jinquan Li; Bo Li; Ming Nie (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Soil microbial respiration is an important factor in regulating carbon (C) exchange between the soil and atmosphere. Thermal adaptation of soil microorganisms will lead to a weakening of the positive feedback between climate warming and soil respiration. The thermal adaptation of microbial communities and fungal species has been proven. However, studies on the thermal adaptation of bacterial species, the most important decomposers in the soil, are still lacking. Here, we isolated six species of widely distributed dominant bacteria and studied the effects of constant warming and temperature fluctuations on those species. The results showed that constant warming caused a downregulation of respiratory temperature sensitivity ( Q 10 ) of the bacterial species, accompanied by an elevation of the minimum temperature ( T min ) required for growth. Similar results were seen with the addition of temperature fluctuations, suggesting that both scenarios caused a significant thermal adaptation among the bacterial species. Fluctuating and increasing temperatures are considered an important component of future warming. Therefore, the inclusion of physiological responses of bacteria to these changes is essential to understand relationships between microbiota and temperature and enhance the prediction of global soil–atmosphere C feedbacks.

A simple and robust method for calculating temperatures of granitoid magmas - Meng Duan; Yaoling Niu; Pu Sun; Shuo Chen; Juanjuan Kong; Jiyong Li; Yu Zhang; Yan Hu; Fengli Shao (Mineralogy and Petrology, 2022)
Calculating the temperatures of magmas from which granitoid rocks solidify is a key task of studying their petrogenesis, but few geothermometers are satisfactory. Zircon saturation thermometry has been the most widely used because it is conceptually simple and practically convenient, and because it is based on experimental calibrations with significant correlation of the calculated zircon saturation temperature ( T Zr ) with zirconium (Zr) content in the granitic melt (i.e., T Zr ∝ Zr MELT ). However, application of this thermometry to natural rocks can be misleading, resulting in the calculated T Zr having no geological significance. This thermometry requires Zr content and a compound bulk compositional parameter M of the melt as input variables. As the Zr and M information of the melt is not available, petrologists simply use bulk-rock Zr content (Zr BULK-ROCK ) and M to calculate T Zr . In the experimental calibration, T Zr shows no correlation with M , thus the calculated T Zr is only a function of Zr MELT . Because granitoid rocks represent cumulates or mixtures of melt with crystals before magma solidification and because significant amount Zr in the bulk-rock sample reside in zircon crystals of varying origin (liquidus, captured or inherited crystals) with unknown modal abundance, Zr BULK-ROCK cannot be equated with Zr MELT that is unknown. Hence, the calculated magma temperatures T Zr using Zr BULK-ROCK have no significance in both theory and practice. As an alternative, we propose to use the empirical equation $$T_{SiO_{2}}$$ T S i O 2 (°C) = -14.16 × SiO 2 + 1723 for granitoid studies, not to rely on exact values for individual samples but focus on the similarities and differences between samples and sample suites for comparison. This simple and robust thermometry is based on experimentally determined phase equilibria with T ∝ 1/SiO 2 .

Zircon U–Pb geochronology and geochemistry of the Late Jurassic granite porphyries from central‐eastern Jilin Province , NE China : Petrogenesis and tectonic implications - Xiqing Ye; Zhitao Xu; Mengmeng Li; Liying Sun; Zhongwei Li; Donghan Yan; Jingqiao Feng (Island Arc, 2022)
The recently discovered Yizuoying Mo deposit is located in central‐eastern Jilin Province, NE China. The molybdenum (Mo) mineralization, mainly hosted in granite porphyry, is considered to be granite‐related. Zircon U–Pb dating of the granite porphyry yielded concordant ages of 160.81 ± 0.62 Ma, which is consistent with the weighted mean U–Pb age of 160.53 ± 0.65 Ma, indicating that the emplacement of granitic plutons occurred in the Late Jurassic. The granite porphyry samples are peraluminous, high‐K calc‐alkaline and show an A‐type geochemical signature with high Na 2 O + K 2 O and Zr + Nb + Ce + Y content, K 2 O/MgO, Fe 2 O 3 T /(Fe 2 O 3 T + MgO), REEs (rare earth elements) and 10 000 Ga/Al ratios. Based on the trace element content of zircons, they have high Th, U, Zr, Hf, and Pb abundance and obvious La and Eu anomalies, and their distribution pattern is similar to that of A‐type granites. The zircon εHf( t ) values range from 4.5 to 10.5 with Neoproterozoic T DM2 ages (536–922 Ma) for Hf isotopes, and they have relatively high values of εNd( t ) (3.14 to 3.49; T DM2 = 665–693 Ma) and initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr (0.723260–0.734669). Detailed elemental and isotopic data suggest that the Yizuoying granite porphyry belongs to the A 2 ‐subtype and was formed by partial melting of a crustal source with a neoproterozoic overall residence age. Integrating new data on the oxygen fugacity of zircons and published data on the tectonic evolution, we suggest that the granite porphyry and associated Mo mineralization in the Yizuoying deposit formed in an extensional environment at ~160 Ma, related to the subduction of the Paleo‐Pacific plate. The evolution of granitic magma in this period contributed to Mo mineralization.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Female and Male Fine-Patterned Puffer: Identification of Candidate Genes Associated with Growth and Sex Differentiation - Binbin Shan; Yan Liu; Changping Yang; Yuan Li; Liangming Wang; Dianrong Sun (Fishes, 2021)
Sexual growth dimorphism is a common phenomenon in teleost fish. However, the mechanism of this complex phenomenon remains unclear. The fine-patterned puffer (Takifugu poecilonotus; Temminck and Schlegel, 1850) exhibits female-biased sexual size dimorphism similar to other pufferfish. In this study, the transcriptomes of female and male T.poecilonotus were sequenced, 285.95 million raw read pairs were generated from sequence libraries. After identification and assembly, a total of 149,814 nonredundant unigenes were obtained with an N50 length of 3538 bp. Of these candidates, 122,719 unigenes (81.91% of the total) were successfully annotated with multiple public databases. The comparison analysis revealed 10,385 unigenes (2034 in females and 8351 in males) were differentially expressed between different sexes of T.poecilonotus. Then, we identified many candidate growth- and sex-related genes, including Dmrt1, Sox3, Spatas, Prl/Prlr, fabps, Ghr, and Igf1r. In addition to these well-known genes, Fabp4 was identified for the first time in fish. Furthermore, 68,281 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) loci were screened and identified in the transcriptome sequence of T.poecilonotus. The results of our study could provide valuable information on growth- and sex-associated genes and facilitate further exploration of the molecular mechanism of sexual growth dimorphism.

Amyloodinium ocellatum (AO) infection in silver pomfret ( Pampus argenteus ) causes extensive mortality. Insufficient information exists on the molecular immune response of silver pomfret to AO infestation, so herein we simulated the process of silver pomfret being infected by AO. Translucent trophosomes were observed on the gills of AO‐infected fish. Transcriptome profiling was performed to investigate the effects of AO infection on the gill, kidney complex and spleen. Overall, 404,412,298 clean reads were obtained, assembling into 96,341 unigenes, which were annotated against public databases. In total, 2730 differentially expressed genes were detected, and few energy‐ and immune‐related genes were further assessed using RT‐qPCR. Moreover, activities of three immune‐related (SOD, AKP and ACP) and three energy‐related (PKM, LDH and GCK) enzymes were determined. AO infection activated the immune system and increased interleukin‐1 beta and immunoglobulin M heavy chain levels. Besides, the PPAR signalling pathway was highly enriched, which played a role in improving immunity and maintaining homeostasis. AO infection also caused dyspnoea, leading to extensive lactic acid accumulation, potentially contributing towards a strong immune response in the host. Our data improved our understanding regarding the immune response mechanisms through which fish coped with parasitic infections and may help prevent high fish mortality in aquaculture.

Differential effects of altered precipitation regimes on soil carbon cycles in arid versus humid terrestrial ecosystems - Bin Wang; Yali Chen; Yan Li; Hui Zhang; Kai Yue; Xingchang Wang; Yuandan Ma; Jian Chen; Meng Sun; Zhuo Chen; Qiqian Wu (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Changes in precipitation regimes have significant effects on soil carbon (C) cycles; however, these effects may vary in arid versus humid areas. Additionally, the corresponding details of soil C cycles in response to altered precipitation regimes have not been well documented. Here, a meta‐analysis was performed using 845 pairwise observations (control vs. increased or decreased precipitation) from 214 published articles to quantify the responses of the input process of exogenous C, the contents of various forms of C in soil, and the soil‐atmosphere C fluxes relative to increased or decreased precipitation. The results showed that the effects of altered precipitation regimes did not differ between rainfall and snowfall. Increased precipitation significantly enhanced the soil C inputs, pools and outputs by 18.17%, 18.50%, and 21.04%, respectively, while decreased precipitation led to a significant decline in these soil C parameters by 10.18%, 9.96%, and 17.98%, respectively. The effects of increased precipitation on soil C cycles were more significant in arid areas (where mean annual precipitation, MAP

Summary Plant physiological and metabolic processes are modulated by rhythmic gene expression in a large part. Meanwhile, plants are also regulated by rhizosphere microorganisms, which are fed by root exudates and provide beneficial functions to their plant host. Whether the biorhythms in plants would transfer to the rhizosphere microbial community is still uncertain and their intricate connection remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of the Arabidopsis circadian clock in shaping the rhizosphere microbial community using wild‐type plants and clock mutants ( cca1‐1 and toc1‐101 ) with transcriptomic, metabolomic and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis throughout a 24‐h period. Deficiencies of the central circadian clock led to abnormal diurnal rhythms for thousands of expressed genes and dozens of root exudates. The bacterial community failed to follow obvious patterns in the 24‐h period, and there was lack of coordination with plant growth in the clock mutants. Our results suggest that the robust rhythmicity of genes and root exudation due to circadian clock in plants is an important driving force for the positive succession of rhizosphere communities, which will feedback on plant development.

Transcriptome Profiling Based on Different Time Points After Hatching Provides a Core Set of Gene Resource for Understanding Larval Immune Response Mechanisms Against Vibrio anguillarum Infection in Amphioctopus fangsiao - Xiaokai Bao; Yan Li; Jianbai Zhang; Xipan Chen; Xiaohui Xu; Yanwei Feng; Guohua Sun; Xiumei Liu; Bin Li; Weijun Wang; Zan Li; Jianmin Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Immune defense systems are indispensable for living organisms. Within an immune network, problems with any given link can impact the normal life activities of an organism. Amphioctopus fangsiao is a cephalopod that exists widely throughout the world’s oceans. Because of its nervous system and locomotive organs, it has become increasingly studied in recent years. Vibrio anguillarum is one of the most common pathogenic bacteria in aquaculture organisms. It is highly infectious and can infect almost all aquaculture organisms. V. anguillarum infection can cause many adverse biological phenomena, including tissue bleeding. Study the immune response after V. anguillarum infection would help us to understand the molecular mechanisms of immune response in aquaculture organisms. In this research, we infected the primary incubation A. fangsiao with V. anguillarum for 24 h. We analyzed gene expression in A. fangsiao larvae via transcriptome profiles at 0, 4, 12, and 24 h after hatching, and 1,385, 734, and 6,109 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified at these three time points. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were used to identify immune-related DEGs. Protein–protein interaction networks were constructed to examine interactions between immune-related genes. Twenty hub genes involved in multiple KEGG signaling pathways or with multiple protein–protein interaction relationships were identified, and their differential expression verified by quantitative RT-PCR. We first studied V. anguillarum infection of A. fangsiao larvae by means of protein–protein interaction networks. The results provide valuable genetic resources for understanding immunity in molluscan larvae. These data serve as a theoretical basis for the artificial breeding of A. fangsiao .

The biological and chemical contents of atmospheric particulate matter and implication of its role in the transmission of bacterial pathogenesis - Xianghe Zhang; Ziyun Li; Jiamin Hu; Lei Yan; Yanyan He; Xiang Li; Mingyu Wang; Xiaomin Sun; Hai Xu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Atmospheric particulate matter (APM) is an environmental hazard that endangers human health and causes a variety of diseases. In this work, the microbial community composition, chemical element composition and antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) prevalence, along with their relationships with environmental parameters were analysed using APM samples collected in Jinan, China. Pathogenic Klebsiella and Aeromonas were found to be significantly correlated with PM 2.5 and temperature, suggesting their proliferation on APM. PM 2.5 and PM 10 have similar microbial community compositions but different chemical element compositions, suggesting they have different origins, which have little impact on microbial community structures. This finding, together with analysis of the timing of microbial community structure changes, suggests that microbial community composition is impacted by anthropic activities. Further investigations showed that rare metals including lanthanides are significantly negatively correlated with pathogens in APM, suggesting their inhibitory role. ARGs were observed for every class of antibiotic except for carbapenems in APM, suggesting high ARG prevalence in APM, and APM functions in transmission of antimicrobial resistance. Results obtained in this study suggest that APM can act as a transmission vehicle for pathogenic bacteria and ARGs and lead to the implication of a new transmission route for bacterial pathogenesis by APM.

Targeted sequencing and integrative analysis to prioritize candidate genes in neurodevelopmental disorders - Yi Zhang; Tao Wang; Yan Wang; Kun Xia; Jinchen Li; Zhongsheng Sun (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are a group of diseases characterized by high heterogeneity and frequently co-occurring symptoms. The mutational spectrum in patients with NDDs is largely incomplete. Here, we sequenced 547 genes from 1102 patients with NDDs and validated 1271 potential functional variants, including 108 de novo variants (DNVs) in 78 autosomal genes and seven inherited hemizygous variants in six X chromosomal genes. Notably, 36 of these 78 genes are the first to be reported in Chinese patients with NDDs. By integrating our genetic data with public data, we prioritized 212 NDD candidate genes with FDR < 0.1, including 17 novel genes. The novel candidate genes interacted or were co-expressed with known candidate genes, forming a functional network involved in known pathways. We highlighted MSL2 , which carried two de novo protein-truncating variants (p.L192Vfs*3 and p.S486Ifs*11) and was frequently connected with known candidate genes. This study provides the mutational spectrum of NDDs in China and prioritizes 212 NDD candidate genes for further functional validation and genetic counseling.

Estimating Waves and Currents at the Saltmarsh Edge Using Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter Data - Bing Liu; Yining Chen; Tinglu Cai; Yan Li; Li Sun (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Waves, currents, and related sediment transport are important factors driving the development of saltmarshes. Separating the effects of waves and currents accurately from simple field observations is a technical challenge in shallow water environments with limited inundation such as saltmarshes. In this paper, the estimation method of both wave and current information was studied mainly through the data obtained by a solely used field ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter, Vector). Phase and pressure inversion wave methods were both used to estimate wave parameters, which were then compared to synchronous observation by wave loggers at the front of a saltmarsh. Our results show that ADV is able to achieve simultaneous observations of tidal currents and waves independently. The pressure inversion wave method ( r 2 ∼ 0.996) is more effective than the phase method ( r 2 ∼ 0.876) in estimating wave energy when comparing with wave logger results. However, the former is more restricted by submergence depth and duration in field, while the latter provides cut-off frequencies for the pressure inversion wave method. Both methods can be combined to best estimate wave parameters from field ADV data. Further, hydrodynamic observation on a Scirpus mariqueter patch at the front of a saltmarsh was used as an application to indicate the importance of obtaining both wave and current information from field data. The patch was found to mainly reduce the advection of tidal currents, but it slightly increases wave energy. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the different effects of plants on tidal currents and waves simultaneously in field observations. This study confirms that ADV and associated analysis can detect waves and currents at reliable accuracy at the marsh edge, which is vital in assessing the long-term resilience of marshes to sea level rise and increased storm severity.

Identification of novel catabolic genes involved in 17 β ‐estradiol degradation by Novosphingobium sp. ES2 ‐1 - Shunyao Li; Kai Sun; Xin Yan; Chao Lu; Michael Gatheru Waigi; Juan Liu; Wanting Ling (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Novosphingobium sp. ES2‐1 is an efficient 17 β ‐estradiol (E2)‐degrading bacterium, which can convert E2 to estrone (E1), then to 4‐hydroxyestrone (4‐OH‐E1) for subsequent oxidative cracking. In this study, the molecular bases for this process were elucidated. Two novel monooxygenase systems EstP and EstO were shown to catalyse the oxygenation of E1 and 4‐OH‐E1, respectively. EstP was a three‐component cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system consisting of EstP1 (P450 monooxygenase), EstP2 (ferredoxin) and EstP3 (ferredoxin reductase). Ultraperformance liquid chromatography‐high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC‐HRMS) analysis revealed that EstP catalysed the 4‐hydroxylation of E1 to produce 4‐OH‐E1. The resultant 4‐OH‐E1 was further oxidized by a two‐component monooxygenase system EstO consisting of EstO1 (flavin‐dependent monooxygenases) and EstO2 (flavin reductase). UPLC‐HRMS combined with 1 H‐nuclear magnetic resonance analysis demonstrated that EstO catalysed the breakage of C9‐C10 to yield a ring B‐cleavage product. In addition, the oxygenase component genes estP1 and estO1 exhibited contrary inductive behaviours when exposed to different steroids, suggesting that EstP1‐mediated 4‐hydroxylation was E2‐specific, whereas EstO1‐mediated monooxygenation might be involved in the degradation of testosterone, androstenedione, progesterone and pregnenolone. This also implied that the mechanisms of the catabolism of different steroids by the same microorganism might be partially interlinked.

In mammals, mature miR-122 is 22 nucleotides long and can be involved in regulating a variety of physiological and biological pathways. In this study, the expression profile and effects of grouper Epinephelus coioides miR-122 response to Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) infection were investigated. The sequences of mature microRNAs (miRNAs) from different organisms are highly conserved, and miR-122 from E. coioides exhibits high similarity to that from mammals and other fish. The expression of miR-122 was up-regulated during SGIV infection. Up-regulation of miR-122 could significantly enhance the cytopathic effects (CPE) induced by SGIV, the transcription levels of viral genes (MCP, VP19, LITAF and ICP18), and viral replication; reduce the expression of inflammatory factors (TNF-a, IL-6, and IL-8), and the activity of AP-1 and NF-κB, and miR-122 can bind the target gene p38α MAPK to regulate the SGIV-induced cell apoptosis and the protease activity of caspase-3. The results indicated that SGIV infection can up-regulate the expression of E. coioides miR-122, and up-regulation of miR-122 can affect the activation of inflammatory factors, the activity of AP-1 and NF-κB, and cell apoptosis to regulate viral replication and proliferation.

Summary Crop plants carry an enormous diversity of microbiota that provide massive benefits to hosts. Protists, as the main microbial consumers and a pivotal driver of biogeochemical cycling processes, remain largely understudied in the plant microbiome. Here, we characterized the diversity and composition of protists in sorghum leaf phyllosphere, and rhizosphere and bulk soils, collected from an 8‐year field experiment with multiple fertilization regimes. Phyllosphere was an important habitat for protists, dominated by Rhizaria, Alveolata and Amoebozoa. Rhizosphere and bulk soils had a significantly higher diversity of protists than the phyllosphere, and the protistan community structure significantly differed among the three plant–soil compartments. Fertilization significantly altered specific functional groups of protistan consumers and parasites. Variation partitioning models revealed that soil properties, bacteria and fungi predicted a significant proportion of the variation in the protistan communities. Changes in protists may in turn significantly alter the compositions of bacterial and fungal communities from the top‐down control in food webs. Altogether, we provide novel evidence that fertilization significantly affects the functional groups of protistan consumers and parasites in crop‐associated microbiomes, which have implications for the potential changes in their ecological functions under intensive agricultural managements.

Experimental evidence for long‐term coexistence of copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria in pelagic surface seawater - Yi Li; Zhi‐Bin Wang; Xi‐Ying Zhang; Yan‐Ru Dang; Lin‐Lin Sun; Wei‐Peng Zhang; Hui‐Hui Fu; Gui‐Peng Yang; Min Wang; Andrew McMinn; Xiu‐Lan Chen; Yin Chen; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Most marine copiotrophic bacteria can produce extracellular enzymes to degrade biopolymers into bio‐available smaller solutes, while oligotrophic bacteria usually cannot. Bacterial extracellular enzymes and enzymatic products can be a common resource that could be utilized by both copiotrophs and oligotrophs; when present, oligotrophs may outcompete the enzyme‐producing copiotrophs. However, copiotrophs and oligotrophs consistently coexist in the ocean. How they maintain coexistence has still not been experimentally studied. In this study, the interaction and coexistence of a copiotroph and an oligotroph, isolated from the same surface seawater sample and utilizing the same proteinaceous substrate, were experimentally investigated. The copiotroph could secrete extracellular proteases to degrade and then utilize the proteinaceous substrate. The oligotroph was unable to utilize the proteinaceous substrate by itself, but could grow by using the hydrolysate amino acids. The copiotroph outcompeted the oligotroph by adsorbing the amino acids quickly and having a higher growth rate in the rich medium. The oligotroph survived by adapting to low concentration of nutrients. The copiotroph and oligotroph were able to maintain long‐term (up to 142 days) coexistence in the laboratory. This study indicates that differences in the utilization of different concentrations of nutrients can drive the coexistence of marine copiotrophs and oligotrophs.

Reduced magnitude and shifted seasonality of CO 2 sink by experimental warming in a coastal wetland - Baoyu Sun; Liming Yan; Ming Jiang; Xinge Li; Guangxuan Han; Jianyang Xia (Ecology, 2021)
Coastal wetlands have the highest carbon sequestration rate per unit area among all unmanaged natural ecosystems. However, how the magnitude and seasonality of the CO 2 sink in coastal wetlands will respond to future climate warming remains unclear. Here, based on measurements of ecosystem CO 2 fluxes in a field experiment in the Yellow River Delta, we found that experimental warming (i.e., a 2.4°C increase in soil temperature) reduced net ecosystem productivity (NEP) by 23.7% across two growing seasons of 2017–2018. Such a reduction in NEP resulted from the greater decrease in gross primary productivity (GPP) than ecosystem respiration (ER) under warming. The negative warming effect on NEP mainly occurred in summer (−43.9%) but not in autumn (+61.3%), leading to a shifted NEP seasonality under warming. Further analyses showed that the warming effects on ecosystem CO 2 exchange were mainly controlled by soil salinity and its corresponding impacts on species composition. For example, warming increased soil salinity (+35.0%), reduced total aboveground biomass (−9.9%), and benefited the growth of plant species with high salt tolerance and late peak growth. To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first experimental evidence on the reduced magnitude and shifted seasonality of CO 2 exchange under climate warming in coastal wetlands. These findings underscore the high vulnerability of wetland CO 2 sink in coastal regions under future climate change.

This study aimed to compare the analgesic effect, patients’ satisfaction, tolerance and hip-joint function recovery by preoperative meloxicam versus postoperative meloxicam in treating hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients receiving total hip arthroplasty (THA). 132 hip OA patients who underwent THA surgery were allocated into postoperative analgesia (POST) and preoperative analgesia (PRE) groups at a 1:1 ratio. In the PRE group, patients took meloxicam 15 mg at 24 h pre-operation, 7.5 mg at 4 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h post-operation; in the POST group, patients received meloxicam 15 mg at 4 h post-operation, then 7.5 mg at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h post-operation. Furthermore, postoperative pain, consumption of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), overall satisfaction and adverse events were evaluated within 96 h post-operation; meanwhile, Harris hip score was assessed within 6 months post-operation. Pain VAS at rest at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and pain VAS at passive movement at 6 h, 12 h were decreased in PRE group compared to POST group. In addition, additional consumption of PCA and the total consumption of PCA were both reduced in PRE group compared to POST group. Additionally, overall satisfaction in PRE group was higher at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h compared to POST group. While Harris hip score was of no difference between POST group and PRE group at M3 or M6. Besides, no difference in adverse events incidence was found between the two groups. In conclusion, preoperative meloxicam achieves better efficacy and similar tolerance compared to postoperative meloxicam in hip OA patients post THA.

Population dynamics of threadfin porgy Evynnis cardinalis , an endangered species on the IUCN red list in the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea - Kui Zhang; Yancong Cai; Baochao Liao; Yan'e Jiang; Mingshuai Sun; Li Su; Zuozhi Chen (Journal of Fish Biology, 2020)
Threadfin porgy Evynnis cardinalis is both a dominant fish species and an important fishing target in bottom trawl fisheries in the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea. It was listed as endangered (EN) in a recent International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list. Despite its economic importance and endangered status, limited research on its biological characteristics and spatial–temporal distribution has been undertaken this last decade, creating uncertainty in current conservation and management. We analyse this species' spatial distribution characteristics using data from four seasonal bottom trawl surveys in 2014–2015, and report average catch per unit effort to vary seasonally, from 49.1 to 594.5 ind h −1 . Growth, mortality and sexual maturity are reported for four time periods based on data from bottom trawl fishery surveys over 1961–1962, 1998–1999, 2006, and 2014–2015. Length frequency distributions changed from bimodal to unimodal, and the female‐to‐male ratio increased. Mean body length and length at first maturity decreased, whereas the growth coefficient increased, indicating miniaturization, early sexual maturity and accelerated growth, respectively . We report sparid catch to have first exceeded maximum sustainable yield in 2001, and to have remained overfished from 2010 to 2015. Since the 1980s, low‐trophic‐level fishes such as E. cardinalis have replaced high‐trophic‐level fishes such as Crimson snapper Lutjanus erythropterus to become dominant species. As catches have increased substantially, these species have been faced with overfishing, driving the ecosystem into an unstable state.
