microRNAs shape social immunity: a potential target for biological control of the termite Reticulitermes chinensis - Long Liu; Feng-Ming Yan; Chen-Chen Zhao; Li-Juan Su; Qiu-Ying Huang; Qing-Bo Tang (Journal of Pest Science, 2023)
Eusocial insects can employ various behavioural and physiological disease defences to avoid, resist and tolerate pathogen infections in their closely related and packed colonies, termed social immunity. Recent studies have shown that several molecules serve insect social immunity, including chemical odours, insect venoms, immune-related proteins, etc. However, whether and how microRNAs (miRNAs), whose precursors are processed by Dicer-1 , drive social immunity in insect colonies is still unknown. Here, we used a ‘host–pathogen’ system (host: Reticulitermes chinensis ; pathogen: Metarhizium anisopliae ) to explore the impact of miRNAs on social immunity in termite colonies. We found that RNAi-mediated silencing of Dicer-1 led to decreased miRNA concentration, significantly inhibited carbohydrate and energy metabolism and affected other life processes, such as the immune response and oxidation–reduction reactions, in whole body of the termite. In behavioural defence, silencing Dicer-1 significantly diminished defensive social behaviours such as locomotion, grooming, cannibalism and burial in termite groups when encountering fungal contamination. In physiological defence, Dicer-1 silencing and miR-71-5 stimulation resulted in significantly decreased antifungal activities of termites. Furthermore, both Dicer-1 -silenced and miR-71-5 stimulant-treated termite groups exhibited a high level of mortality during fungal contamination. Our findings demonstrated the important role of miRNAs in shaping social immunity in termite colonies, providing insights necessary to understand the potential mechanisms underlying behavioural and physiological disease defences in insects and hence laying the groundwork for miRNA-based pest control.

Genetic diversity in early maturity Chinese and European elite soybeans: A comparative analysis - Xindong Yao; Jiang-yuan Xu; Zhang-xiong Liu; Martin Pachner; Eva Maria Molin; Leopold Rittler; Volker Hahn; Willmar Leiser; Yong-zhe Gu; Yu-qing Lu; Li-juan Qiu; Johann Vollmann (Euphytica, 2023)
Soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is a legume crop important for global food security due to supplying high-quality vegetable protein and oil. China is the origin and rich center of soybean genetic diversity represented by numerous landraces and other genetic resources. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, world-wide dissemination of plant introductions laid the foundation of modern soybean production. Due to selection for regional adaptation, present-day elite soybean cultivars do have a comparatively narrow genetic base. However, as genetic variation is the major component of future breeding progress, diversity of early maturity Chinese and European elite soybeans was comparatively analyzed using a high-throughput functional SNP array and an SSR marker set. Results revealed a clear differentiation between Chinese and European elite cultivars, and the level of genetic diversity was similar between the two populations. Both in Chinese and European cultivars, unique SSR alleles were found which indicates that selection for specific adaptation can preserve genetic variation. The European population was markedly structured by maturity groups which was less clear in the Chinese population. Structure analysis indicated that European cultivars are based on two major ancestral lines, whereas Chinese elite soybean cultivars trace back to more ancestral lines pointing to the rich natural soybean diversity of China. The results confirm that long-term selection under divergent environmental and agronomic conditions can produce specific diversity which could potentially be utilized for future enhancing both Chinese and European soybean breeding.

Three novel antioxidant peptides isolated from C-phycocyanin against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in zebrafish via Nrf2 signaling pathway - Fenghua Xu; Yun Zhang; Yuezi Qiu; Fanghao Yang; Guoxiang Liu; Xiaolei Dong; Guang Chen; Can Cao; Qian Zhang; Shanshan Zhang; Bing Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Background C-phycocyanin (C-PC), a phycobiliprotein from Spirulina platensis, has been confirmed to be an effective antioxidant. Duing to the large molecular weight protein, C-PC is hardly absorbed in the human gut and easy coagulates into lumps. In light of this, highly pure, easy absorption, and small molecular weight polypeptides has won the attention in the recent past. However, there are few studies on the C-PC bioactive peptides. Thus, the objective of this study was find natural multifunctional antioxidant peptides from C-PC and demonstrate their mechanisms. Method In this study, novel antioxidant peptides from pancreatin hydrolysate of C-PC were isolated and purified by using a multi-bioassay-guided method. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging in vitro and antioxidant zebrafish model in vivo were used to evaluate the antioxidant activities. Furthermore, the underlying molecular mechanisms of these peptides were investigated by measuring the level of ROS, MDA, SOD, CAT and gene expression in Nrf2 signaling pathway. Results Total three novel active peptides, MHLWAAK (Met-His-Leu-Trp-Ala-Ala-Lys), MAQAAEYYR (Met-Ala-Gln-Ala-Ala-Glu-Tyr-Tyr-Arg), and MDYYFEER (Met-ASP-Tyr-Tyr-Phe-Glu-Glu-Arg) were isolated and purified from pancreatin hydrolysate of C-PC. These synthesized peptides displayed high DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging ability. In addition, in a zebrafish model, the three peptides significantly protected zebrafish embryos from H2O2-induced oxidative injury without toxicity by inhibiting ROS generation, preventing MDA formation, and upregulating the activities of SOD and CAT. Further experiments showed that these peptides could significantly regulated oxidative stress via activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Conclusion This study indicates that the antioxidant peptides from C-PC could serve as powerful antioxidants for preventing and treating various diseases associated with oxidative stress.

High-throughput prediction and characterization of antimicrobial peptides from multi-omics datasets of Chinese tubular cone snail (Conus betulinus) - Ruihan Li; Yu Huang; Chao Peng; Zijian Gao; Jie Liu; Xiaoting Yin; Bingmiao Gao; Tatiana V. Ovchinnikova; Limei Qiu; Chao Bian; Qiong Shi (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Individual cone snail ( Conus sp.) contains thousands of bioactive peptides, but there are limited studies on its antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Here, we investigated AMPs along with AMP-derived genes in the representative Chinese tubular cone snail ( C. betulinus ) by integration of our previously published multi-omics (genomics, transcriptomics, and peptidomics) data. We identified a total of 466 putative AMP-derived genes from the genome, and most of them were annotated as histones . While at the mRNA level, only 77 AMP-derived genes were confirmed with transcriptomic evidence, among them Ubiquicidin, cgUbiquitin, Ap, and VK10 were the most abundant transcripts in the venom gland. In addition, 30 AMPs were further validated by peptidomics data. After in silico analysis including 3D modeling, 11 putative AMPs were chemically synthesized for an in vitro assessment, and eight peptides were proved with good antifungal activity. In summary, this work systematically characterized the AMP repertoire in C. betulinus . This valuable genetic resource provides a solid foundation for in-depth therapeutic applications and drug development.

Effects of the neurotoxin β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) on the early embryonic development of marine shellfish and fish - Yilei Fu; Aifeng Li; Jiangbing Qiu; Wenhui Yan; Chen Yan; Lei Zhang; Min Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The neurotoxin β - N -methylamino- L -alanine (BMAA) produced by cyanobacteria and diatoms can accumulate in diverse aquatic organisms through the food web. In the present study, embryos of mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819), oyster Magallana gigas (Thunberg, 1793), and marine medaka Oryzias melastigma (McClelland, 1839) were exposed to BMAA dissolved in seawater and monitored for early developmental effects. Results demonstrated that the embryonic development of mussels and oysters were significantly inhibited when BMAA concentrations were above 100 μg BMAA·HCl/L (0.65 µM) and 800 μg BMAA·HCl/L (5.18 µM), respectively. The shell growth of mussel embryos was also markedly inhibited by BMAA ≥ 100 μg BMAA·HCl/L (0.65 µM). Based on the dose-response curves related to the modified malformation rate of embryos, the median effective concentration (EC 50 ) values of mussel (48 h) and oyster (24 h) embryos were 196 μg BMAA·HCl/L (1.27 µM) and 1660 μg BMAA·HCl/L (10.7 μM), respectively. A sustained and dose-dependent decrease in heart rate was apparent in marine medaka embryos at 9-days post fertilization following BMAA exposure. However, no obvious effect on ATP concentration was noted in these marine medaka embryos. The current study contributes to our understanding of the sublethal effects of BMAA on the early embryonic development of marine bivalves and medaka. Further research examining the long-term effects of BMAA on the early development of marine organisms is necessary to determine seawater quality criteria for protection.

Diagnostic accuracy of autoverification and guidance system for COVID-19 RT-PCR results - Yingmu Cai; Mengyu Liu; Zhiyuan Wu; Cuihong Tian; Song Qiu; Zhen Li; Feng Xu; Wei Li; Yan Zheng; Aijuan Xu; Longxu Xie; Xuerui Tan (EPMA Journal, 2022)
Background To date, most countries worldwide have declared that the pandemic of COVID-19 is over, while the WHO has not officially ended the COVID-19 pandemic, and China still insists on the personalized dynamic COVID-free policy. Large-scale nucleic acid testing in Chinese communities and the manual interpretation for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid detection results pose a huge challenge for labour, quality and turnaround time (TAT) requirements. To solve this specific issue while increase the efficiency and accuracy of interpretation, we created an autoverification and guidance system (AGS) that can automatically interpret and report the COVID-19 reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results relaying on computer-based autoverification procedure and then validated its performance in real-world environments. This would be conductive to transmission risk prediction, COVID-19 prevention and control and timely medical treatment for positive patients in the context of the predictive, preventive and personalized medicine (PPPM). Methods A diagnostic accuracy test was conducted with 380,693 participants from two COVID-19 test sites in China, the Hong Kong Hybribio Medical Laboratory ( n = 266,035) and the mobile medical shelter at a Shanghai airport ( n = 114,658). These participants underwent SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR from March 28 to April 10, 2022. All RT-PCR results were interpreted by laboratorians and by using AGS simultaneously. Considering the manual interpretation as gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy were applied to evaluate the diagnostic value of the AGS on the interpretation of RT-PCR results. Results Among the 266,035 samples in Hong Kong, there were 16,356 (6.15%) positive, 231,073 (86.86%) negative, 18,606 (6.99%) indefinite, 231,073 (86.86%, negative) no retest required and 34,962 (13.14%, positive and indefinite) retest required; the 114,658 samples in Shanghai consisted of 76 (0.07%) positive, 109,956 (95.90%) negative, 4626 (4.03%) indefinite, 109,956 (95.90%, negative) no retest required and 4702 (4.10%, positive and indefinite) retest required. Compared to the fashioned manual interpretation, the AGS is a procedure of high accuracy [99.96% (95%CI, 99.95–99.97%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 100–100%) in Shanghai] with perfect sensitivity [99.98% (95%CI, 99.97–99.98%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 100–100%) in Shanghai], specificity [99.87% (95%CI, 99.82–99.90%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 99.92–100%) in Shanghai], PPV [99.98% (95%CI, 99.97–99.99%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 99.99–100%) in Shanghai] and NPV [99.85% (95%CI, 99.80–99.88%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 99.90–100%) in Shanghai]. The need for manual interpretation of total samples was dramatically reduced from 100% to 13.1% and the interpretation time fell from 53 h to 26 min in Hong Kong; while the manual interpretation of total samples was decreased from 100% to 4.1% and the interpretation time dropped from 20 h to 16 min at Shanghai. Conclusions The AGS is a procedure of high accuracy and significantly relieves both labour and time from the challenge of large-scale screening of SARS-CoV-2 using RT-PCR. It should be recommended as a powerful screening, diagnostic and predictive system for SARS-CoV-2 to contribute timely the ending of the COVID-19 pandemic following the concept of PPPM.

With the rapid modernization of methods for monitoring fishing vessels, different ways of obtaining data on large-size light falling-net vessels have developed. In particular, the vessel monitoring system (VMS) may be used to track fishing activities in the South China Sea (SCS). In this study, we used VMS data to show the characterize and differences in the information transmitted when monitoring large-size falling-net fishing vessels, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. We investigated the spatial distribution of large-size light falling-net fisheries in the SCS using Beidou VMS data from 2017 to 2020. We also compared trajectories of fishing vessels from various provinces. According to these data, vessels operate in the Nansha Islands and the waters of the Pearl River Estuary, Beibu Gulf, Zhongsha, and Xisha Islands, and there is a clear seasonal pattern of fishing in the SCS. There are the differences of vessels in terms of distribution areas and ports of entry and exit. Additionally, we found the operation area of the large-size falling-net fishing vessels divided into four main fishing zones. The analysis compares the number of days of operation in the different fishing areas as well as seasonal variations. Our study shows that the operating area of large-size light falling-net vessels has extended southwards and that the number of days for which fishing vessels operate has increased compared with the last decade. Using the Beidou VMS to study the large-size light falling-net vessels in the SCS can provide more detailed scientific reference data for the SCS fisheries.

Effects of ocean warming and fishing on the coral reef ecosystem: A case study of Xisha Islands, South China Sea - Xinyan Zhang; Yuanchao Li; Jianguo Du; Shuting Qiu; Bin Xie; Weilin Chen; Jianjia Wang; Wenjia Hu; Zhongjie Wu; Bin Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Global change has generated challenges for oceans, from individuals to the entire ecosystem, and has raised contemporary issues related to ocean conservation and management. Specifically, coral reef ecosystems have been exposed to various environmental and human disturbances. In this study, the Ecopath with Ecosim model was used to explore the impacts of ocean warming and fishing on Xisha Islands coral reef ecosystem in the South China Sea. The variables in this model included two ocean warming scenarios and three fishing scenarios. The model consisted of 23 functional groups including algae, coral, sea birds, and sharks. Our results showed that by the middle of the century, ocean warming and fishing led to a 3.79% and 4.74% decrease in total catch compared with 2009, respectively. In addition, the combined effects of ocean warming and fishing caused a 4.79% decrease in total catch, and the mean trophic level of catch was predicted to decrease by 6.01% under the SSP585-High fishing scenario. Reducing the fishing effort mitigates the effects of ocean warming on some species, such as large carnivorous fish and medium carnivorous fish; however, under low fishing effort, some functional groups, such as small carnivorous and omnivorous fish, have low biomass because of higher predation mortality.

Soybean genetic resources contributing to sustainable protein production - Bingfu Guo; Liping Sun; Siqi Jiang; Honglei Ren; Rujian Sun; Zhongyan Wei; Huilong Hong; Xiaoyan Luan; Jun Wang; Xiaobo Wang; Donghe Xu; Wenbin Li; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message Genetic resources contributes to the sustainable protein production in soybean. Abstract Soybean is an important crop for food, oil, and forage and is the main source of edible vegetable oil and vegetable protein. It plays an important role in maintaining balanced dietary nutrients for human health. The soybean protein content is a quantitative trait mainly controlled by gene additive effects and is usually negatively correlated with agronomic traits such as the oil content and yield. The selection of soybean varieties with high protein content and high yield to secure sustainable protein production is one of the difficulties in soybean breeding. The abundant genetic variation of soybean germplasm resources is the basis for overcoming the obstacles in breeding for soybean varieties with high yield and high protein content. Soybean has been cultivated for more than 5000 years and has spread from China to other parts of the world. The rich genetic resources play an important role in promoting the sustainable production of soybean protein worldwide. In this paper, the origin and spread of soybean and the current status of soybean production are reviewed; the genetic characteristics of soybean protein and the distribution of resources are expounded based on phenotypes; the discovery of soybean seed protein-related genes as well as transcriptomic, metabolomic, and proteomic studies in soybean are elaborated; the creation and utilization of high-protein germplasm resources are introduced; and the prospect of high-protein soybean breeding is described.

The DRD2 Taq1A polymorphism moderates the effect of PTSD symptom severity on the left hippocampal CA3 volume: a pilot study - Minlan Yuan; Hongru Zhu; Yuchen Li; Fenfen Ge; Su Lui; Qiyong Gong; Changjian Qiu; Huan Song; Wei Zhang (Psychopharmacology, 2022)
Rationale and objectives The hippocampus, especially the CA1, CA3, and dentate gyrus (DG) subfields, is reported to be associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after trauma. However, neuroimaging studies of the associations between PTSD and hippocampal subfield volumes have failed to yield consistent findings. The aim of this study is to examine whether the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) Taq1A polymorphism, which is associated with both hippocampal function and PTSD, moderated the association between PTSD severity and hippocampal CA1, CA3 and DG volumes. Methods T1-weighted images were acquired from 142 trauma survivors from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake using a 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging system. Hippocampal subfield segmentations were performed with FreeSurfer v6.0. We used the simple moderation model from the PROCESS v3.4 tool for SPSS 23.0 to examine the association between the rs1800497 polymorphism, PTSD severity, and hippocampal CA3 and DG volumes. Results A significant genotype × PTSD symptom severity interaction was found for the left CA3 volume (Δ F = 5.01, p = 0.008, Δ R 2 = 0.05). Post hoc, exploratory analyses deconstructing the interaction revealed that severe PTSD symptomatology were associated with reduced left CA3 volume among TC heterozygotes ( t = − 2.86, p = 0.005). Conclusions This study suggests that DRD2 Taq1A polymorphism moderates the association between PTSD symptomatology and left CA3 volume, which promotes an etiological understanding of the hippocampal atrophy at the subfield level. This highlights the complex effect of environmental stress, and provides possible mechanism for the relationship between the dopaminergic system and hippocampal function in PTSD.

Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an essential role in biological processes. However, the expression patterns of lncRNAs that regulate the non-Mendelian inheritance feather phenotypes remain unknown. Objective This study aimed to compare the expression profiles of lncRNAs in the follicles of the late-feathering cocks (LC) and late-feathering hens (LH) that followed genetic rules and the early-feathering hen (EH) and early-feathering cock (EC) that did not conform to the genetic laws. Methods We performed RNA sequencing and investigated the differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) between the early- and late-feathering chickens, which function by cis-acting or participate in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Results A total of 53 upregulated and 43 downregulated lncRNAs were identified in EC vs. LC, and 58 upregulated and 109 downregulated lncRNAs were identified in EH vs. LH. The target mRNAs regulated by lncRNAs in cis were enriched in the pentose phosphate pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway and Jak-STAT signaling pathway in EC vs. LC and were associated with the TGF-β signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway and Jak-STAT signaling pathway in EH vs. LH. In addition, the lncRNA-mediated ceRNA regulatory pathways of hair follicle formation were mainly enriched in the TGF-β signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, melanogenesis, and calcium signaling pathways. The levels of ENSGALG00000047626 were significantly higher in the late-feathering chickens than in the early-feathering chickens, which regulated the expression of SSTR2 by gga-miR-1649-5p. Conclusion This study provides a novel molecular mechanism of lncRNA’s response to the feather rate that does not conform to the genetic laws in chickens.

Six Novel Hybrid Extreme Learning Machine–Swarm Intelligence Optimization (ELM–SIO) Models for Predicting Backbreak in Open-Pit Blasting - Chuanqi Li; Jian Zhou; Manoj Khandelwal; Xiliang Zhang; Masoud Monjezi; Yingui Qiu (Natural Resources Research, 2022)
Backbreak (BB) is one of the serious adverse blasting consequences in open-pit mines, because it frequently reduces economic benefits and seriously affects the safety of mines. Therefore, rapid and accurate prediction of BB is of great significance to mine blasting design and other production activities. For this purpose, six different swarm intelligence optimization (SIO) algorithms were proposed to optimize the extreme learning machine (ELM) model for BB prediction, i.e., ELM-based particle swarm optimization (ELM–PSO), ELM-based fruit fly optimization (ELM–FOA), ELM-based whale optimization algorithm (ELM–WOA), ELM-based lion swarm optimization (ELM–LOA), ELM-based seagull optimization algorithm (ELM–SOA) and ELM-based sparrow search algorithm (ELM–SSA). In total, 234 data records from blasting operations in the Sungun mine in Iran were used in this study, including six input parameters (special drilling, spacing, burden, hole length, stemming, powder factor) and one output parameter (i.e., BB). To evaluate the predictive performance of the different optimization models and initial models, six performance indicators including the root mean square error (RMSE), Pearson correlation coefficient (R), determination coefficient (R 2 ), variance accounted for (VAF), mean absolute error (MAE) and sum of square error (SSE) were used to evaluate the models in the training and testing phases. The results show that the ELM–LSO was the best model to predict BB with RMSE of 0.1129 ( R : 0.9991, R 2 : 0.9981, VAF: 99.8135%, MAE: 0.0706 and SSE: 2.0917) in the training phase and 0.2441 in the testing phase ( R : 0.9949, R 2 : 0.9891, VAF: 98.9806%, MAE: 0.1669 and SSE: 4.1710). Hence, ELM techniques combined with SIO algorithms are an effective method to predict BB.

(European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2022)
Invasive Salmonella infections result in a significant burden of disease including morbidity, mortality, and financial cost in many countries. Besides typhoid fever, the clinical impact of non-typhoid Salmonella infections is increasingly recognized with the improvement of laboratory detection capacity and techniques. A retrospective multicenter study was conducted to analyze the clinical profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of invasive Salmonella infections in hospitalized children in China during 2016–2018. A total of 130 children with invasive Salmonella infections were included with the median age of 12 months (range: 1–144 months). Seventy-nine percent of cases occurred between May and October. Pneumonia was the most common comorbidity in 33 (25.4%) patients. Meningitis and septic arthritis caused by nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections occurred in 12 (9.2%) patients and 5 (3.8%) patients. Patients < 12 months (OR: 16.04) and with septic shock (OR: 23.4), vomit (OR: 13.33), convulsion (OR: 15.86), C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 40 g/L (OR: 5.56), and a higher level of procalcitonin (PCT) (OR: 1.05) on admission were statistically associated to an increased risk of developing meningitis. Compared to 114 patients with NTS infections , 16 patients with typhoid fever presented with higher levels of CRP and PCT ( P < 0.05). The rates of resistance to ampicillin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin, and ceftriaxone among Salmonella Typhi and NTS isolates were 50% vs 57.3%, 9.1% vs 24.8%, 0% vs 11.2%, and 0% vs 9.9%, respectively. NTS has been the major cause of invasive Salmonella infections in Chinese children and can result in severe diseases. Antimicrobial resistance among NTS was more common.

Increased serum anti-CYP2E1 IgG autoantibody levels may be involved in the pathogenesis of occupational trichloroethylene hypersensitivity syndrome: a case–control study - Tamie Nakajima; Hailan Wang; Yuan Yuan; Yuki Ito; Hisao Naito; Yoshiyuki Kawamoto; Kozue Takeda; Kiyoshi Sakai; Na Zhao; Hongling Li; Xinxiang Qiu; Lihua Xia; et al. (Archives of Toxicology, 2022)
Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) causes a systemic skin disorder with hepatitis known as TCE hypersensitivity syndrome (TCE-HS). Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-B*13:01 is its susceptibility factor; however, the immunological pathogenesis of TCE-HS remains unknown. We herein examined the hypothesis that autoantibodies to CYP2E1 are primarily involved in TCE-HS. A case–control study of 80 TCE-HS patients, 186 TCE-tolerant controls (TCE-TC), and 71 TCE-nonexposed controls (TCE-nonEC) was conducted to measure their serum anti-CYP2E1 antibody (IgG) levels. The effects of TCE exposure indices, such as 8-h time-weighted-average (TWA) airborne concentrations, urinary metabolite concentrations, and TCE usage duration; sex; smoking and drinking habits; and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels on the antibody levels were also analyzed in the two control groups. There were significant differences in anti-CYP2E1 antibody levels among the three groups: TCE-TC > TCE-HS patients > TCE-nonEC. Antibody levels were not different between HLA-B*13:01 carriers and noncarriers in TCE-HS patients and TCE-TC. The serum CYP2E1 measurement suggested increased immunocomplex levels only in patients with TCE-HS. Multiple regression analysis for the two control groups showed that the antibody levels were significantly higher by the TCE exposure. Women had higher antibody levels than men; however, smoking, drinking, and ALT levels did not affect the anti-CYP2E1 antibody levels. Anti-CYP2E1 antibodies were elevated at concentrations lower than the TWA concentration of 2.5 ppm for TCE exposure. Since HLA-B*13:01 polymorphism was not involved in the autoantibody levels, the possible mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of TCE-HS is that TCE exposure induces anti-CYP2E1 autoantibody production, and HLA-B*13:01 is involved in the development of TCE-HS.

Functional analysis, diversity, and distribution of carbendazim hydrolases MheI and CbmA , responsible for the initial step in carbendazim degradation - Mingliang Zhang; Xuekun Bai; Qian Li; Lu Zhang; Qian Zhu; Siyuan Gao; Zhijian Ke; Mingli Jiang; Junqiang Hu; Jiguo Qiu; Qing Hong (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Strains Rhodococcus qingshengii djl‐6 and Rhodococcus jialingiae djl‐6‐2 both harbour the typical carbendazim degradation pathway with the hydrolysis of carbendazim to 2‐aminobenzimidazole (2‐AB) as the initial step. However, the enzymes involved in this process are still unknown. In this study, the previous reported carbendazim hydrolase MheI was found in strain djl‐6, but not in strain djl‐6‐2, then another carbendazim hydrolase CbmA was obtained by a four‐step purification strategy from strain djl‐6‐2. CbmA was classified as a member of the amidase signature superfamily with conserved catalytic site residues Ser157, Ser181, and Lys82, while MheI was classified as a member of the Abhydrolase superfamily with conserved catalytic site residues Ser77 and His224. The catalytic efficiency ( k cat / K m ) of MheI (24.0–27.9 μM −1 min −1 ) was 200 times more than that of CbmA (0.032–0.21 μM −1 min −1 ). The mheI gene (plasmid encoded) was highly conserved (>99% identity) in the strains from different bacterial genera and its plasmid encoded flanked by mobile genetic elements. The cmbA gene was highly conserved only in strains of the genus Rhodococcus and it was chromosomally encoded. Overall, the function, diversity, and distribution of carbendazim hydrolases MheI and CbmA will provide insights into the microbial degradation of carbendazim.

URANS Calculation of Ship Heave and Pitch Motions in Marine Simulator Based on Overset Mesh - Ziping Wang; Tingqiu Li; Junsheng Ren; Qiu Jin; Wenjun Zhou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
So as to improve the reliability and accuracy of marine simulators, it is essential to predict ship heave and pitch motions in regular waves. The motions of two ships, the international standard model KVLCC2 and the first training ship, “Yukun”, of Dalian Maritime University, are simulated using a three-dimensional (3D) numerical wave tank based on the Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) equations. The free surface is captured by the volume of fluid (VOF) method, and an SST k-ω turbulence model is used to describe the turbulence flow. The numerical model is first validated for the standard KVLCC2 at three different speeds through a comparison with the published experimental data and the potential flow results. Then, numerical simulation is performed for the motion of the ship Yukun with different speeds under various sea conditions. The heave amplitude of the hull changes with the increase in the wavelength when the maximum value is reached. Upon comparing the RAOs of ship motions under different wave steepness conditions, it is apparent that the heave and pitch motions of ships nonlinearly decrease with an increase in wave steepness. The results were added to the database of the marine simulator to further improve the accuracy and realism of the simulator.

A real-time passive acoustic monitoring system to detect Yangtze finless porpoise clicks in Ganjiang River, China - Weilun Li; Jiansong Qiu; Peiyu Lei; Xiaohong Chen; Fei Fan; Xiaojun Deng; Yingen Dai; Yanqing Deng; Kexiong Wang; Zhigang Mei (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Phocoenidae live in fresh, coastal waters where they often share a significant portion of their habitat with humans. As a result, local activities (e.g., coastal fisheries and shipments) cause underwater noise pollution and threaten their ecosystem. To better conserve the habitat of porpoises, we aimed to study their activities in these waters by recording their echolocation clicks using a passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) system. However, because the off-line PAM instruments were often used in the past that need to be periodically deployed and recovered, data acquisition is typically obtained and analyzed in batches, rather than in real-time. A real-time PAM detection system would help minimize the impact of underwater noise on approaching porpoises. Furthermore, issues of bad quality data–with gaps due to loss or damage of the off-line PAM instruments–could be avoided with a real-time detection system. Therefore, in this study, we developed the Real-time Porpoise Click Detector-II (RPCD-II), equipped with a digital hydrophone, main memory (2 TB storage), a central processing unit, and a wireless transmission module. We deployed the RPCD-II under a docked fishing vessel at the Ganjiang River in Yangzi Zhou Town Fisheries Village, Nanchang City (8–9 December 2021), where it recorded signals of Yangtze finless porpoise and produced a real-time report. To validate the results of RPCD-II, another underwater sound recorder, the SoundTrap 300HF (ST), was also set up (as a control device) under the docked fishing vessel. Both devices recorded consistent results of 9330 clicks, further demonstrating RPCD-II’s ability for the real-time detection of Yangtze finless porpoise in the field.

Effect of Surfactants with Different Hydrophilic–Lipophilic Balance on the Cohesive Force between Cyclopentane Hydrate Particles - Qingchao Fang; Xin Zhao; Sunbo Li; Zhengsong Qiu; Zhiyuan Wang; Qi Geng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Effective control of the cohesive force between hydrate particles is the key to prevent their aggregation, which then causes pipeline blockage. The hydrophilic–lipophilic balance (HLB) value of surfactants was proposed as an important parameter for the evaluation and design of hydrate anti-agglomerants. A microscopic manipulation method was used to measure the cohesive forces between cyclopentane hydrate particles in the presence of Tween and Span series surfactants with different HLB values; moreover, the measured cohesive force was compared with the results of calculations based on the liquid bridge force model. Combined with the surface morphology and wettability of the hydrate particles, we analyzed the mechanism by which surfactants with different HLB values influence the cohesion between hydrate particles. The results show that for both Tween (hydrophilic, HLB > 10) and Span (hydrophobic, HLB

Abrupt fluctuations in North Pacific Intermediate Water modulated changes in deglacial atmospheric CO2 - Yanguang Liu; Yue Qiu; Dongling Li; Antonina V. Artemova; Yuying Zhang; Aleksandr A. Bosin; Sergey A. Gorbarenko; Qingsong Liu; Debo Zhao; Longbin Sha; Yi Zhong (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
As a major reservoir of heat and CO 2 , the Pacific Ocean is an important component of the global climate system, but the nature of its circulation under different climatic conditions remains poorly understood. We present sedimentary records of surface water hydrography and nutrient dynamics from the subarctic Pacific Ocean, with the aim of investigating changes in sea-ice coverage, biological productivity, and sea surface temperature in the subarctic Northwest Pacific since 32 kyr. Our records indicate an enhanced North Pacific surface water stratification from the last glacial to Heinrich Stadial 1, which generally limited the siliceous productivity supply to the surface water. A productivity peak during the Bølling/Allerød warm interval was associated with an increase in the atmospheric p CO 2 , and it was driven by the increased supply of nutrient- and CO 2 -rich waters. This process can be attributed to the collapse of the North Pacific Intermediate Water formation at the onset of the Bølling/Allerød interstadial. Moreover, a northward shift of the westerly winds and the gyre boundary could have modulated the expansion of the subpolar gyre, driving changes in poleward heat transport, biogeochemistry, and the hydroclimate of the North Pacific. Our results are consistent with modern evidence for a northward shift of the westerlies in response to global warming, which will likely result in CO 2 outgassing from the subarctic Pacific Ocean in the future.

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

A Realistic and Integrated Model for Evaluating Offshore Oil Development - Rui Qiu; Zhuochao Li; Qin Zhang; Xin Yao; Shuyi Xie; Qi Liao; Bohong Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
With the rising consumption of oil resources, major oil companies around the world have increasingly engaged in offshore oil exploration and development, and offshore oil resources have accounted for an increasing proportion. Offshore oil engineering projects are capital intensive, and the development of offshore oil fields faces a tough battle, especially in a period of low oil prices. Thus, a comprehensive evaluation model is highly needed to help assess economic benefits and provide meaningful and valuable information for operators and investors to make sensible decisions. This study firstly proposed a realistic and integrated evaluation model for offshore oil development based on actual historical project data. This evaluation model incorporated modules from the underwater system to the platform system and processes from oil reservoir extraction to oil, gas and water treatment. The uncertain parameters in the evaluation process are dealt with by sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed model is applied to a typical offshore oil development project in Bohai Bay, China. The results reveal that the recovery factor and oil price have the greatest impact on the economic benefits. In the case of deterministic analysis, the breakeven oil price of the project is 40.59 USD/bbl. After considering the uncertainty of project parameters, the higher the oil price, the greater the probability of NPV > 0. When the oil price is higher than 70 USD/bbl, even with uncertain project parameters, the probability of NPV > 0 can still be as high as 97.39%.

Fast Multigrid Algorithm for Non-Linear Simulation of Intact and Damaged Ship Motions in Waves - Ziping Wang; Tingqiu Li; Qiu Jin; Hao Guo; Ji Zhao; Junlin Qi (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
This paper proposes a fast multigrid algorithm to simulate the non-linear motion of ships in both intact and damaged conditions. The simulations of ship motions in waves are known to require much time to calculate due to the strong non-linear interactions between ship and waves. To improve the calculation efficiency while retaining the accuracy, a prediction-correction strategy was designed to accelerate the simulation through three sets of locally refined meshes. The flow field was first estimated in a coarse mesh and then mapped to a locally refine mesh for further higher-fidelity corrections. A partitioned radial basis function (PRBF) method is proposed to interpolate and reconstruct the flow field for the refined mesh. A new two-phase flow solver was developed with a fast multigrid algorithm based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (RANSE). The new solver was applied to study the non-linear behavior of a damaged ship in beam waves and the effect of damaged compartments on ship rolling motion. Validation against the solution with the original method of single set meshes and experimental data indicates that the proposed algorithm yields satisfactory results while saving 30–40% of the computational time.

Characteristics of summer cloud precipitation along latitude 30°N in East Asia derived from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar and Visible and Infrared Scanner measurements - Mengxiao Wang; Yunfei Fu; Chun Zhao; Lei Zhong; Rui Li; Dongyong Wang; Xuexing Qiu; Shengnan Zhou (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
There has been little systematic analysis of the influence of the three‐step staircase topography on the characteristics of precipitation along latitude 30°N in East Asia. After the distribution of atmospheric climate states over East Asia was analysed, in this study, the climatological characteristics of summer convective and stratiform precipitation on horizontal distribution, vertical structure, and diurnal variation in East Asia were investigated by using a merged dataset derived from the measurements of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar and Visible and Infrared Scanner from 1998 to 2012 reanalysis datasets. Results indicate that the rain frequency, the mean rain rate, and the maximum echo reflectivity factor show clear differences among the three‐step staircase topography, especially between the first staircase and its eastern region. There are small changes in the echo‐top height, the cloud‐top height, the maximum echo reflectivity factor and its corresponding height from the East China Sea westwards to the eastern part of the first staircase, passing the third staircase and the second staircase along 30°N. However, the rain rate decreased obviously twice westwards along this latitude, which responds to aerosol indirect effect and humidity effect, respectively. The diurnal variation of the convective precipitation reflectivity factor indicated that the development of convection in the eastern part of the first staircase gets at the maximum from the early afternoon to sunset, whereas the strongest echo reflectivity factor of precipitation in the second and third staircases including the East China Sea appears in the early morning, which is consistent with the diurnal variations of the atmospheric circulation.

Slope Undercurrent in the Northwestern South China Sea Beneath the Winter Western Boundary Current - Junqiang Shen; Wendong Fang; Li Li; Yun Qiu; Zheng Xiao; Junpeng Zhang; Xiaogang Guo (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
We herein report the observation of a slope undercurrent beneath the winter western boundary current of the northwestern South China Sea (SCS), and its spatiotemporal variation. The possible underlying dynamics are also discussed. In situ observations reveal that the northeastward undercurrent is located above the upper slope with a core velocity exceeding 20 cm/s, which extends from 200 m to 800 m in depth with a width of 30–50 km and an along-slope length of approximately 200 km in deep winter of 2006-2007, and is characterized with interseasonal and interannual variabilities. The existence of this undercurrent is also supported by Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) results. We find that the slope undercurrent is probably driven by the along-slope pressure gradient associated with the sea level set-up off the continental slope of south Hainan Island and modulated by mesoscale eddies and Rossby waves. This study will renew our knowledge of the deep slope currents in the northwestern SCS.

Effect of Ammonia Addition on the Ignition Delay Mechanism of Methyl Decanoate - Ye Qiu; Haijun Wei; Daping Zhou; Jingming Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In this study, the effect of mixing a small amount of ammonia on the ignition delay time of methyl decanoate under different conditions was studied from the perspective of the combustion mechanism. The effect of adding ammonia on the ignition delay time of methyl decanoate at different pressures and temperatures was studied by means of simulation calculations and numerical comparison. Integrating the detailed mechanism and reaction path of methyl decanoate, the sensitivity of the ignition delay time was investigated. Analyses of the ignition delay time and rate of production were conducted to explore the transformation and influence of ammonia on the oxidation/decomposition process of the main elementary reaction during the ignition of methyl decanoate. The research illustrated that the ignition delay time of methyl decanoate increased with the number of moles of mixed ammonia at a certain temperature range, and in the negative temperature coefficient region, the effect of ammonia on the ignition delay time was the greatest. In addition, the susceptibility and yield analysis of methyl decanoate showed that the addition of ammonia had a weakening effect on the elementary reactions that originally promoted and inhibited methyl decanoate, and its consumption and production rates were reduced.

High‐resolution mapping of the global silicate weathering carbon sink and its long‐term changes - Chaojun Li; Xiaoyong Bai; Qiu Tan; Guangjie Luo; Luhua Wu; Fei Chen; Huipeng Xi; Xuling Luo; Chen Ran; Huan Chen; Sirui Zhang; Min Liu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Climatic and non‐climatic factors affect the chemical weathering of silicate rocks, which in turn affects the CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere on a long‐term scale. However, the coupling effects of these factors prevent us from clearly understanding of the global weathering carbon sink of silicate rocks. Here, using the improved first‐order model with correlated factors and non‐parametric methods, we produced spatiotemporal data sets (0.25° × 0.25°) of the global silicate weathering carbon‐sink flux (SCSF α ) under different scenarios (SSPs) in present (1950–2014) and future (2015–2100) periods based on the Global River Chemistry Database and CMIP6 data sets. Then, we analyzed and identified the key regions in space where climatic and non‐climatic factors affect the SCSF α . We found that the total SCSF α was 155.80 ± 90 Tg C yr −1 in present period, which was expected to increase by 18.90 ± 11 Tg C yr −1 (12.13%) by the end of this century. Although the SCSF α in more than half of the world was showing an upward trend, about 43% of the regions were still showing a clear downward trend, especially under the SSP2‐4.5 scenario. Among the main factors related to this, the relative contribution rate of runoff to the global SCSF α was close to 1/3 (32.11%), and the main control regions of runoff and precipitation factors in space accounted for about 49% of the area. There was a significant negative partial correlation between leaf area index and silicate weathering carbon sink flux due to the difference between the vegetation types. We have emphasized quantitative analysis the sensitivity of SCSF α to critical factors on a spatial grid scale, which is valuable for understanding the role of silicate chemical weathering in the global carbon cycle.

Long-Term Change of a Fish-Based Index of Biotic Integrity for a Semi-Enclosed Bay in the Beibu Gulf - Li Su; Youwei Xu; Yongsong Qiu; Mingshuai Sun; Kui Zhang; Zuozhi Chen (Fishes, 2022)
The Beibu Gulf in the northwestern South China Sea is one of the world’s most productive fishing grounds, yet its biotic resources appear to be in rapid decline because of overexploitation. Assessments of the health status of the fisheries’ resources in the gulf provide a foundation for their conservation and management. As fish accounted for 84% to 97% of the total catch in the Beibu Gulf in the period 1962–2017, a Fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity (F-IBI) was developed for the Beibu Gulf, and data from otter trawl surveys during the period 1962–2017 were used to measure variations in the fish community. The assessment revealed a generally downward trend in total fish catch density (kg/km2), catch density of 12 traditional commercial demersal fish species, and percentage of nektonic-feeding species, but an upward trend for the percentage of fishes with a planktivorous or detritus diet, percentage of pelagic species, and percentage of the dominant species. The dominant species varied greatly over the 50 year period and showed a tendency towards small-sized species. The synthetic F-IBI variable showed a downward trend and has indicated a ‘fair’ state since 1998. The decline in the F-IBI over the last three decades suggests that anthropogenic disturbances, especially overfishing, have had a serious impact on the fish community of the Beibu Gulf. The F-IBI is currently at risk of becoming ‘poor.’ Consequently, we suggest that rigid and enforceable fishery management measures should be taken by both China and Vietnam to prevent further deterioration of the fisheries’ resources in the gulf.

Tea Polyphenols Improve Down-Regulation of Mitochondrial Functional Gene Expression Induced by Bisphenol A in Zebrafish Ovaries - Xiaoxin Dai; Lijun Qiu; Han Zhang; Chunying Xu; Bo Zhao; Yang Gao; Haidong Li; Yi Mu; Zhangjie Chu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The plasticizer bisphenol A, a typical endocrine disrupting chemical, is widely present in the environment. Previous studies demonstrated that exposure to bisphenol A can cause reproductive toxicity, abnormal fertilization, and infertility. However, the mechanisms of low-concentration bisphenol A on the reproductive system and treatment measures have not been fully determined. In this study, we explored the transcriptomic profiles of female zebrafish ovaries. The transcriptomic data revealed that mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase (mt-Nd) genes were significantly decreased in the bisphenol A-exposed group, while the co-administration of tea polyphenols remarkably elevated the expression of mt-Nd genes. To further explore the expression pattern of the mt-Nd, we analyzed the expression of six mt-Nd genes on different days by qRT-PCR in control, bisphenol A-exposed, and bisphenol A-tea polyphenols ovaries. Here, we found that 0.1 mg/L bisphenol A exposure adversely affects the mitochondrial respiratory chain in ovaries and may lead to reproductive disorders. Finally, our study demonstrated that tea polyphenols play a protective role in ovarian mitochondrial dysfunction in low-concentration bisphenol A-exposed female zebrafish.
