Review on the Antiviral Organic Agents against Fish Rhabdoviruses - Shuang-Shuang Sun; Shi-Wei Ma; Jun Li; Qin Zhang; Guang-Zhou Zhou (Fishes, 2023)
Fish rhabdoviruses are harmful single-stranded RNA viruses with high mortality rates which cause considerable economic losses in aquaculture. It is imperative to explore and develop new antiviral compounds against them. In recent years, in addition to inorganic antiviral substances, more than 50 different organic compounds have been confirmed to be effective in the prevention and treatment of rhabdovirus infection and its dissemination in fish. The main types of extracts or agents and their trial designs are here considered for review. This review reveals the reported antiviral activities of extracts from organisms, proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, coumarin derivatives, arctigenin derivatives, and other antiviral organic molecules against fish rhabdoviruses, respectively. Additionally, their antiviral mechanisms of action include direct virucidal effects, inhibiting virus-induced host cell apoptosis, the blocking of the viral replication cycle, affecting gene expression and innate antiviral immune responses, and so on. This review also gives perspectives on how to comprehensively explore the potential applications of the candidate molecules, which lay the foundation for the future development of new compounds or strategies for the prevention and control of fish rhabdoviruses in aquaculture.

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

Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 Is Necessary for Embryonic Development in Medaka Oryzias latipes - Xiaoting Liang; Shi Duan; Qing Yang; Xiaoqin Ma; Zhenyu Li; Qiting Yao; Kongyue Wu; Pei Chang; Gongqing Feng; Wentao Hong; Mengxi Cao; Qingchun Zhou; et al. (Fishes, 2022)
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (Prmt5), conserved from yeast to humans, catalyzes arginine’s dimethylation in proteins. Prmt5 is necessary for embryonic development in mice because it maintains embryonic stem cells. However, the embryos of zebrafish (Danio rerio) remain viable with a deficiency in germ cells and sexual development after the knockout of prmt5. Therefore, it was considered whether prmt5 is dispensable during embryogenesis in fish. Medaka (Oryzias latipes), another model fish organism, was used in this experiment. The medaka prmt5 was mutated with Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALEN) causing the premature stopping of transcription. None of the homozygous prmt5 mutant fish were viable, only the heterozygous offspring survived. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results showed a significant decrease in octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (oct4), homeobox transcription factor nanog (nanog), vasa, B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (bcl2), and the ratio of bcl2 to bax (bcl2 associated x), and a significant increase in caspase3 and caspase8 in the embryos of the heterozygous prmt5 mutant compared with that of the wild type. The results showed that the mutation of prmt5 caused down-regulation of the genes functioning in stemness and up-regulation of the genes in the cascade of cell death. These results suggested that prmt5 is necessary for embryogenesis via maintaining stemness and repressing apoptosis in medaka.

Linkages Between Optical and Molecular Signatures of Dissolved Organic Matter Along the Yangtze River Estuary-to-East China Sea Continuum - Xingnian Sun; Penghui Li; Yuping Zhou; Chen He; Fang Cao; Yuntao Wang; Quan Shi; Ding He (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Changes in the molecular composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its light-absorbing component (CDOM) along the river–coastal ocean continuum are crucial for better understanding the source and fate of DOM in coastal oceans. Both optical (absorbance and fluorescence) techniques and ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry have been widely used to trace DOM cycling. However, to the best of our knowledge, the linkage between these two techniques is rarely investigated along the river–coastal ocean continuum. In this regard, bulk characterization, optical techniques, and ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry [Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICR MS)] were applied to determine the DOM chemistry along a spatial transect from the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) to the East China Sea. The results showed that DOM in the YRE was mainly controlled by the mixing of freshwater and seawater. Besides terrestrial input, multiple sources (tributary input from the Huangpu River, wastewater input, and sediment resuspension and subsequent release at the turbidity maximum zone) have been identified. In addition, the linkages between CDOM and thousands of formulas were developed based on Spearman’s rank correlations between optical parameters and FT-ICR MS peaks. The linkages showed that the molecular groups associated with the optical parameters generally agreed with conventional biogeochemical interpretations. Nevertheless, each technique has its unique advantage and weakness in interpreting DOM composition. Therefore, the combination of the untargeted FT-ICR MS approach and optical techniques could be valuable for studying the DOM sources and transformation in large river estuarine systems.

Sandstorms cause shrinkage of Haloxylon ammodendron shrubs and limit their self-renewal - Sheng-bo Shi; Dang-wei Zhou; Fang-lin Wang; Rui Shi; Tao Sun; Tian-cai Li; Jia-lin Ma; Xiang Wan; Jian-ping Ma; Jing-nian Tang (Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology, 2022)
Haloxylon ammodendron is an excellent windproof and sand-fixing species whose shrubs are widely cultivated in arid desert areas of northwest China but are now at risk of degradation and shrinkage. Using the chlorophyll fluorescence image analysis technique, the response of photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency and non-photochemical quenching capacity to sediment-carrying wind and sand-free wind (both 12 m s −1 ) lasting for 10, 20, and 40 min were studied with seedlings in a wind tunnel. The results indicated that the sand-free wind had little influence on the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry, F v / F m , which was approximately 0.80 on average; however, the F v / F m decreased over exposure time in the sediment-carrying wind group, with values smaller than those in the wind-only group. The non-photochemical quenching was sensitive to wind erosion, and sediment-carrying wind could aggravate the reduction in non-photochemical quenching ( NPQ ). Except for the 10 min duration, the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry after dark recovery for 15 min, F v r / F m r , was lower in seedlings exposed to sediment-carrying wind than in those in the wind-only group. Compared to wind-only, wind-blown sand led to a water imbalance and withering in seedlings, causing the concentration of photosynthetic pigments (when based on the fresh mass of green branches) to not decrease. With a longer exposure time to sediment-carrying wind, both the probability and extent of lignified spots occurring increased in green assimilative branches. Our results demonstrated that sediment-carrying wind at 12 m s −1 lasting for 20 min or more could cause irreversible damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of H. ammodendron seedlings. Therefore, frequent and strong sandstorms are the main disturbance factors leading to shrinkage of shrubs and limiting their self-renewal.

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

Gonadal Atresia, Estrogen-Responsive, and Apoptosis-Specific mRNA Expression in Marine Mussels from the East China Coast: A Preliminary Study - Jingmin Zhu; Jiana Li; Emma C. Chapman; Huahong Shi; Corina M. Ciocan; Kai Chen; Xiaodong Shi; JunLiang Zhou; Peiying Sun; Yueyao Zheng; Jeanette M. Rotchell (Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2022)
This preliminary survey analysed mussel atresia incidences, estrogen-responsive and apoptotic-specific molecular end points, and aqueous and gonadal levels of selected estrogens from the East China coast. Estrogen levels were low (e.g. < LOD-28.36 ng/L, < LOD-3.88 ng/g wet weight of tissue for BPA) relative to worldwide freshwater environments, but high oocyte follicle atresia incidences (up to 26.6%) occurred at selected sites. Expression of estrogen-responsive ER2 was significantly increased in males relative to females at sites with high atresia incidences in females. A second estrogen-responsive gene, V9 , was significantly increased at two sites in April in females relative to males; the opposite was true for the remaining two sites. Apoptosis-specific genes ( Bcl-2 , fas ) showed elevated expression in males relative to females at the site with the highest atresia incidence. These results provide coastal estrogen levels and the utility of several estrogen-specific molecular-level markers for marine mussels.

Massive Heat Shock Protein 70 Genes Expansion and Transcriptional Signatures Uncover Hard Clam Adaptations to Heat and Hypoxia - Zhi Hu; Hao Song; Jie Feng; Cong Zhou; Mei-Jie Yang; Pu Shi; Zheng-Lin Yu; Yong-Ren Li; Yong-Jun Guo; Hai-Zhou Li; Tao Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) members participate in a wide range of housekeeping and stress-related activities in eukaryotic cells. In marine ecosystems, bivalves encounter abiotic stresses, including high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen. Here, 133 MmHSP70 genes were identified through combined methods including Blastp, HMM and manual filtration, based on the whole Mercenaria mercenaria genome. The MmHSP70 genes were unevenly distributed, and 41 genes (33.08%) were located on Chr 7. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the MmHSP70 gene family mainly consisted of two clusters and the Hspa12 subfamily underwent lineage-specific expansion. A high-density collinear gene block was observed between M. mercenaria Chr 7 and Cyclina sinensis Chr 14. Tandem duplication MmHSP70 gene pairs experienced different levels of purifying selection, which could be an important source of sequence and functional constraints. MmHSP70 genes showed tissue-specific and stress-specific expression. Most tandem duplication HSP70 gene pairs had high expression under hypoxia stress. HSP70 B2 tandem duplication gene pairs showed significantly increased expression under heat plus severe hypoxia stress. This study provided a comprehensive understanding of the MmHSP70 gene family in the M. mercenaria and laid a significant foundation for further studies on the functional characteristics of MmHSP70 genes during exposure to heat and hypoxia stress.

Prediction Method and Validation Study of Tensile Performance of Reinforced Armor Layer in Marine Flexible Pipe/Cables - Hualin Wang; Zhixun Yang; Jun Yan; Gang Wang; Dongyan Shi; Baoshun Zhou; Yanchun Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Marine flexible pipe/cables, such as umbilicals, flexible pipes and cryogenic hoses, are widely adopted in ocean engineering. The reinforcing armor layer in these pipe/cables is the main component for bearing loads, which is a typical multi-layer helically wound slender structure with different winding angles for different devices. There has been no general theoretical methodology to describe the tensile performance of these flexible pipe/cables. This paper first introduces a theory to solve the tensile mechanical behavior of a helically wound structure. Based on the curved beam theory, a solution of the tensile stress of a helically wound slender is derived. Then, the deformation mechanism of the marine flexible pipe/cables structure with different winding angles is studied. Through comparing theoretical and numerical results, the deformation characteristic of the helically wound slender structure is further explained. It is found that a sectional torsional deformation generates when the structure with a larger winding angle is under tension condition, while the sectional deformation of the structure with a smaller winding angle is mainly tension. Finally, a couple types of marine flexible pipe/cables under the tension condition are provided to analyze the mechanical performance and compare the difference between different theoretical models.

P-element-induced wimpy testis ( Piwi ) is a key gene involved in germ cell development in a diverse range of organisms. However, in giant clams, the function of Piwi remains unclear. In the present study, we isolated the full-length cDNA of Piwi ortholog ( Tc-Piwi1 ) and analyzed its expression patterns in the gonads of adult and juvenile Tridacna crocea . The results of qPCR showed that the transcript of Tc-Piwi1 was mainly expressed in gonad tissue. In addition, the relative expression level of Tc-Piwi1 increased with the proliferation of male and female germ cells during the adult gonad development stage, suggesting that Tc-Piwi1 might be involved in gametogenesis. In situ hybridization revealed that Tc-Piwi1 RNA was located in female and male germ cells and strongly expressed in male germ cells in the early stage. Furthermore, immunohistochemical experiments further confirmed that Tc-Piwi1 was mainly located in primordial germ cells (PGCs), germ stem cells (GSCs), and female and male germ cells of early development, so it could be used as a marker gene of T. crocea germ cells. Whole-mount in situ hybridization suggested that Tc-Piwi1 was of maternal origin and located in two clusters of cells in the trochophore-larvae stage, implying that these cells might be putative PGCs during the embryo development. Finally, Tc-Piwi1 was used as a molecular marker to elucidate the gonadal formation, sex differentiation, and gonadal maturation process of juvenile T. crocea for the first time in the Tridacna family. Collectively, all these results revealed that Tc-Piwi1 was involved in germline formation and sex differentiation in T. crocea .

The Effects of Ground and Treadmill Running on Energy Metabolism and Muscle Contractile Properties: A Randomized Cross-Over Study - Yuan Zhou; Jian-gang Chen; Xiao-long Li; Xin-liang Pan; Yi-zheng Zhou; Zheng-ao Li; Zhi-cheng Liang; Jia-min Long; Ming-ze Qin; Jing Zhang; Bing Shi; Bing-jun Wan; et al. (Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise, 2022)
Purpose This study aimed to compare the effects of ground and treadmill running on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties, providing a basis for the general public to choose running venues. Methods Ten male college students (age, 20.10 ± 1.53 years; height, 176.20 ± 5.49 cm; weight, 72.14 ± 8.25 kg; body fat percent, 12.41% ± 4.65%) were recruited in this study. Energy expenditure (EE) was measured using the accelerometer (GT9X) combined with specific estimation equations. Average heart rate (HR) was measured using a heart rate band (Polar). Muscle contractile properties were assessed by measuring muscle displacement (Dm) and contraction velocity (Vc) using tensiomyography (TMG-S1). Blood glucose (Glu) and lactate (Lac) were measured by portable devices (eB-G and Lactate Scout). The running speed was 9 km/h and the duration was 25 min. Two-way ANOVA (protocol × time) was used to analyze the effect of running protocols on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties. Results EE of treadmill running was significantly higher than EE of ground running (protocol main effect, P < 0.001), and HR of treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running in the first testing time (protocol simple effect, P = 0.026; protocol × time interaction P = 0.043). The decrease in Dm of the rectus femoris after treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running (protocol main effect, P = 0.009). The interaction of different running protocols and testing times on Lac was significant ( P = 0.025), but all results of the simple effects analysis were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Our study found a difference in energy expenditure between treadmill and ground running at 9 km/h with duration of 25 min. In addition, treadmills are more likely to cause a decrease in muscle displacement distance of the rectus femoris measured after exercise than ground running. Future studies are needed to further investigate whether the differences are induced by internal metabolism or the environmental conditions of running.

Study on the Individual Coloring Mechanism of Iridescent Cells in the Mantle of the Boring Giant Clam, Tridacna crocea - Yunqing Li; Yinyin Zhou; Jinkuan Wei; Gongpengyang Shi; Qingliang Liao; Shuming Guo; Zihua Zhou; Jun Li; Yanping Qin; Haitao Ma; Ziniu Yu; Yuehuan Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Giant clams are marine bivalves that inhabit Indo-Pacific coral reefs. The boring giant clam, Tridacna crocea , exhibits bright and conspicuous mantle coloration based on the specialized cells (iridocytes) that generate structural colors. In order to illustrate the coloring mechanism of individual iridocytes, the reflection spectra curve of iridocytes was obtained by a micro-hyperspectral imager. TEM images were obtained to show the inner nanostructures of iridocytes. FDTD simulation was conducted to analyze the relationship between the color of iridocytes and the unique lamellar structure. We found that the laminae in the regular arrangement within cells govern the coloration of individual iridocytes. With the gradual increase of lamellar thickness and spacing, the color of the structure varies from bright violet to orange-red, forming a full visible spectrum. This study provides a new understanding of the various colors produced by individual iridocytes.

Integrated Dynamics Response Analysis for IEA 10-MW Spar Floating Offshore Wind Turbine - Xiaojiang Guo; Yu Zhang; Jiatao Yan; Yiming Zhou; Shu Yan; Wei Shi; Xin Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Wind energy in the deep-sea area is more abundant and the capacity of wind turbines can be made larger. Therefore, the research on deep-sea floating offshore wind turbines will be the primary strategy for wind energy exploitation in the future. The spar-type platform depends on the characteristics of a small water plane, deep draft, and good stability, which has been applied to the commercial development of deep-sea wind energy. In the next ten years, the 10-MW wind turbine will become the mainstream class installed in the floating offshore wind turbine farm. Thus, it is very necessary to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth study on the 10-MW spar type floating offshore wind turbine. The direct-drive 10-MW offshore wind turbine was proposed by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Wind Task 37 in 2019. In this paper, a spar-type platform is designed to support the IEA 10-MW reference wind turbines, and a nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic numerical model is established using the FAST tool (which is developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, NREL). Then, the accuracy of the wind turbine and the sensitivity of the controller are verified, and the natural periods of the floating offshore wind turbine are obtained by free-decay tests. The natural periods of the platform in six degrees-of-freedom are found to be within the range recommended by the design standard. The measured wind and wave data of the target site close to Fujian Province of China are used to evaluate the performance of the floating offshore wind turbine under the 100-, 50-, 5-, and 2-year-return stochastic weather conditions. The results indicate that the design of the spar platform is reasonable and has excellent hydrodynamic performance.

Investigation on a Large-Scale Braceless-TLP Floating Offshore Wind Turbine at Intermediate Water Depth - Yiming Zhou; Yajun Ren; Wei Shi; Xin Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Tension leg platform (TLP) is a cost-effective and high-performance support structure for floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) because of its small responses in heave, pitch, and roll with the constraint of the tendons. China, as the largest market of offshore wind energy, has shown a demand for developing reliable, viable floating platform support structures, especially aiming at the intermediate water depth. The present paper described a newly proposed 10-MW Braceless-TLP FOWT designed for a moderate water depth of 60 m. The numerical simulations of the FOWT are carried out using the coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic-mooring calculation tool FAST. The measured wind and wave data of the target site close to the Fujian Province of China were used to evaluate the performance of the FOWT under the 100-, 50-, 5-, and 2-year-return stochastic weather conditions. The natural periods of the platform in surge, sway, heave, pitch, roll, and yaw were found to be within the range recommended by the design standard DNV-RP-0286 Coupled Analysis of Floating Wind Turbines. The largest surge of the water depth ratio among all the load cases was 15%, which was smaller than the admissible ratio of 23%. The tower top displacements remained between −1 m and 1 m, which were at a similar order to those of a 10-MW monopile-supported offshore wind turbine. The six tendons remained tensioned during the simulation, even under the operational and extreme (parked) environmental conditions. The Braceless-TLP FOWT showed an overall satisfying performance in terms of the structural stability and illustrates the feasibility of this type of FOWT at such a moderate water depth.

Characterization of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Patients’ Gingiva - Mengyu Li; Jiajia Wang; Yejia Yu; Yuqiong Zhou; Yueqi Shi; Wenjie Zhang; Geehun Son; Jing Ge; Jun Zhao; Chi Yang; Shaoyi Wang (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2022)
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a clinical condition that specifically occurs in the oral cavity, characterized by retarded wound healing in oral mucosa accelerating the exposure of bone. Moreover, the pathological mechanism remains poorly understood. Gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) play a critical role in gingival healing and soft tissue regeneration. Although previous studies have showed that bisphosphonates (BPs) are highly toxic to healthy GMSC, there is overall lack of direct evidence demonstrating the characterization of GMSCs derived from BRONJ patients. In present study, we isolated GMSCs for the first time from the central area of BRONJ patients’ gingiva (center-BRONJ GMSCs) and the peripheral area (peri-BRONJ GMSCs), and found that they exhibited decreased proliferation, adhesion, migration capacities and underwent early apoptosis in vitro compared control GMSCs. Notably, the central and peripheral BRONJ GMSCs transplantation in a mice excisional skin model also displayed lower cell survival rate and poor healing effects than that of controls. Mechanistically, TGF-β1 signaling pathway was suppressed not only in BRONJ patients’ gingival lesions but also in BRONJ GMSCs transplantation animal model. The results above suggested that under the microenvironment of BRONJ patients, the dysfunction of GMSCs and the suppressed TGF-β1 signaling pathway may be the vital factors in impaired gingival healing, thus contributing to persistent exposure of underlying bone and development of BRONJ. This study provides new insights into the prevention for BRONJ by improving the functions of GMSCs and upregulating TGF-β1 in accelerating gingival wound healing. Graphical Abstract Schematic illustration of the dysfunction of BRONJ GMSCs in vitro and BRONJ GMSCs transplantation in a mice skin model delaying cutaneous wound healing mainly via suppressing TGF-β1 signaling pathway.

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

Phenotypic and genomic adaptations to the extremely high elevation in plateau zokor ( Myospalax baileyi ) - Tao Zhang; Jie Chen; Jia Zhang; Yuan‐Ting Guo; Xin Zhou; Meng‐Wen Li; Zhi‐Zhong Zheng; Tong‐Zuo Zhang; Robert W. Murphy; Eviatar Nevo; Peng Shi (Molecular Ecology, 2021)
The evolutionary outcomes of high elevation adaptation have been extensively described. However, whether widely distributed high elevation endemic animals adopt uniform mechanisms during adaptation to different elevational environments remains unknown, especially with respect to extreme high elevation environments. To explore this, we analysed the phenotypic and genomic data of seven populations of plateau zokor ( Myospalax baileyi ) along elevations ranging from 2,700 to 4,300 m. Based on whole‐genome sequencing data and demographic reconstruction of the evolutionary history, we show that two populations of plateau zokor living at elevations exceeding 3,700 m diverged from other populations nearly 10,000 years ago. Further, phenotypic comparisons reveal stress‐dependent adaptation, as two populations living at elevations exceeding 3,700 m have elevated ratios of heart mass to body mass relative to other populations, and the highest population (4,300 m) displays alterations in erythrocytes. Correspondingly, genomic analysis of selective sweeps indicates that positive selection might contribute to the observed phenotypic alterations in these two extremely high elevation populations, with the adaptive cardiovascular phenotypes of both populations possibly evolving under the functional constrains of their common ancestral population. Taken together, phenotypic and genomic evidence demonstrates that heterogeneous stressors impact adaptations to extreme elevations and reveals stress‐dependent and genetically constrained adaptation to hypoxia, collectively providing new insights into the high elevation adaptation.

Genetic Recombination of the Mantle Color Pattern of Two Boring Giant Clam (Tridacna crocea) Strains - Junjie Wang; Zihua Zhou; Haitao Ma; Jun Li; Yanping Qin; Jinkuan Wei; Xingyou Li; Qingliang Liao; Yunqing Li; Gongpengyang Shi; Yinyin Zhou; Yuehuan Zhang; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
According to the RGB law display, the polymorphism of the giant clam mantle color pattern is through four iridocytes. The boring giant clam ( Tridacna crocea ) exhibits diverse mantle colors, including blue, green, purple, gold, and orange. In order to evaluate the genetic laws driving these mantle color patterns, a complete diallel cross between two color strains [blue strain (only blue iridocyte) and the yellow-green strain (yellow and green iridocytes)] was performed. Using a single-to-single mating system, two intra-strain crosses (BB and YY) and two reciprocal inter-strain crosses (BY and YB) were produced in triplicates. Higher fertilization rate and hatching rate were observed in all experimental groups, suggesting that there was no sperm–egg recognition barrier between the two strains. In the grow-out stage, the size of the reciprocal hybrids was larger than that of the two pure strains with a degree of heterosis. In addition, compared with the two pure strains, the hybrids have higher larval metamorphosis rate and higher survival rate. At 1 year of age, the mantle color pattern of pure strains showed 100% stable inheritance, while the reciprocal hybrids exhibited colorful patterns (a combination of blue, yellow, and green), suggesting that there was a genetic recombination of the mantle colors during the stable expression period. These results provide a theoretical basis for the formation of the mantle color of giant clam and its genetic segregation law, as well as provide guidance for genetic breeding of giant clams.

Nitrate fluxes induced by turbulent mixing in dipole eddies in an oligotrophic ocean - Ruihuan Li; Jie Xu; Xianrong Cen; Wanxuan Zhong; Jianzu Liao; Zhen Shi; Shengqi Zhou (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
The vertical turbulent fluxes of nitrate to the base of the euphotic zone were quantified to assess the role of turbulent mixing in modulating new production inside cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies in an oligotrophic ocean. Although the turbulent nitrate flux (0.35 ± 0.11 mmol N m −2 d −1 ) at the base of the euphotic zone inside the cyclonic eddy was higher than that (0.07 ± 0.03 mmol N m −2 d −1 ) inside the anticyclonic eddy, this flux contributed to 19.7–76.3% of new production in the anticyclonic eddy and less than 4.94% in the cyclonic eddy, wherein new production was primarily driven by upwelling. Moreover, the turbulent nitrate flux in the cyclonic eddy center was higher than that at its edge because of differences in turbulent diffusivity. However, the opposite pattern appeared in the anticyclonic eddy, mainly due to discrepancies in the nitrate gradients and turbulent diffusivity. Elevated turbulent diffusivity at the edge of the anticyclonic eddy is the most likely attributed to submesoscale processes. These findings provide observatory evidence, confirming that a higher phytoplankton biomass exists in the anticyclonic eddy edge than in its center.

Kidney disease is manifested in a wide variety of phenotypes, many of which have an important hereditary component. To delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pediatric nephropathy, a multicenter registration system is being implemented based on the Chinese Children Genetic Kidney Disease Database (CCGKDD). In this study, all the patients with kidney and urological diseases were recruited from 2014 to 2020. Genetic analysis was conducted using exome sequencing for families with multiple affected individuals with nephropathy or clinical suspicion of a genetic kidney disease owing to early-onset or extrarenal features. The genetic diagnosis was confirmed in 883 of 2256 (39.1%) patients from 23 provinces in China. Phenotypic profiles showed that the primary diagnosis included steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS, 23.5%), glomerulonephritis (GN, 32.2%), congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT, 21.2%), cystic renal disease (3.9%), renal calcinosis/stone (3.6%), tubulopathy (9.7%), and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu, 5.8%). The pathogenic variants of 105 monogenetic disorders were identified. Ten distinct genomic disorders were identified as pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs) in 11 patients. The diagnostic yield differed by subgroups, and was highest in those with cystic renal disease (66.3%), followed by tubulopathy (58.4%), GN (57.7%), CKDu (43.5%), SRNS (29.2%), renal calcinosis /stone (29.3%) and CAKUT (8.6%). Reverse phenotyping permitted correct identification in 40 cases with clinical reassessment and unexpected genetic conditions. We present the results of the largest cohort of children with kidney disease in China where diagnostic exome sequencing was performed. Our data demonstrate the utility of family-based exome sequencing, and indicate that the combined analysis of genotype and phenotype based on the national patient registry is pivotal to the genetic diagnosis of kidney disease.

Understanding diversity patterns requires accounting for the roles of both historical and contemporary factors in the assembly of communities. Here, we compared diversity patterns of two moth assemblages sampled from Taihang and Yanshan mountains in Northern China and performed ancestral range reconstructions using the Multi‐State Speciation and Extinction model, to track the origins of these patterns. Further, we estimated diversification rates of the two moth assemblages and explored the effects of contemporary ecological factors. From 7,788 specimens we identified 835 species belonging to 23 families, using both DNA barcode analysis and morphology. Moths in Yanshan mountains showed higher species diversity than in Taihang mountains. Ancestral range analysis indicated Yanshan as the origin, with significant historical dispersals from Yanshan to Taihang. Asymmetrical diversification, population expansion, along with frequent and considerable gene flow were detected between communities. Moreover, dispersal limitation or the joint effect of environment filtering and dispersal limitation were inferred as main driving forces shaping current diversity patterns. In summary, we demonstrate that a multiscale (community, population and species level) analysis incorporating both historical and contemporary factors can be useful in delineating factors contributing to community assembly and patterning in diversity.

Integrated fate assessment of aromatic amines in aerobic sewage treatment plants - Lin Jun Zhou; Zhi Yi Rong; Wen Gu; De Ling Fan; Ji Ning Liu; Li Li Shi; Yan Hua Xu; Zhi Ying Liu (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020)
The fate and exposure of chemicals in sewage treatment plants (STPs) are major considerations in risk assessment and environmental regulation. The biodegradability and removal of seven aromatic amines were systematically evaluated using a three-tiered integrated method: a standard ready biodegradability test, an aerobic sewage treatment simulation method, and model prediction. In tier 1, the seven aromatic amines were not readily biodegraded after 28 days. In adapted aerobic active sludge, 4-isopropyl aniline, 2,4-diaminotoluene, and 4-nitroaniline among them exhibited the degradation half-life time less than 20 h, the other four aromatic amines exhibited persistent with degradation half-life of > 60 h. In tier 2 of the aerobic sewage treatment simulation testing, 2,4-diaminotoluene, 4-nitroaniline, and 4-isopropylaniline demonstrated moderately to high overall removal. Hydraulic retention time (HRT) affects the removal with the optimum HRT was determined to be 12 h to 24. 2,6-Dimethyl aniline, 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline, 2,6-diethylaniline, and 3,4-dichloroaniline were not removed during the test, indicting these four aromatic amines will enter surface water and hence pose a potential risk to aquatic ecology. Considering the lack of an STP model in China for regulation purposes, in tier 3, we developed a Chinese STP (aerobic) (abbreviated as C-STP(O)) model that reflects a universal scenario for China to predict the fate. The predicted degradation, volatilization, and absorption showed a close relationship to the physicochemical properties of the chemicals, and had same tendency with tier 2 simulation test. The prediction showed that biodegradation rather than absorption or volatilization was the main removal process of aromatic amines in aerobic STP. With the combination of modified kinetics test with C-STP (O) model, the chemical fate can be more accurately predicted than using only the readily biodegradation result.

To evaluate the benefits and risks of hepatic artery infusion (HAI) gemcitabine and floxuridine (FUDR) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma liver metastases. HAI catheter systems were implanted under the guide of digital subtract angiography (DSA) in 16 patients with unresectable nasopharyngeal carcinoma liver metastases. HAI gemcitabine and FUDR in combination with radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy were delivered. Disease control rate (DCR) of intrahepatic lesions is 100%, objective response rate (ORR) of intrahepatic lesions is 87.5%, including 4 patients (25%) with complete response (CR), 10 patients (62.5%) with partial response (PR) and 2 patients (12.5%) with stable disease (SD). The median overall survival (mOS) was 30 months. There was no significant difference between patients with < 9 intrahepatic lesions and patients with ≥ 9 intrahepatic lesions (31 months vs. 24 months, P = 0.562). Patients without extrahepatic metastases has longer survival than patients with extrahepatic metastases (31 months vs. 17 months, P = 0.005). In all 72 cycles of HAI, the main grade 3/4 toxicities related to HAI include: leukopenia occur in 8 cycles (11.1%), thrombocytopenia in 5 cycles (6.9%), AST/ALT elevation in 12 cycles (16.7). Catheter related complications occurred in 2 patients (12.5%). HAI gemcitabine and FUDR is effective to improve DCR of intrahepatic lesions and prolong mOS for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma liver metastases, and is associated with a relative low rate of toxicity.

Water and heat availability are drivers of the aboveground plant carbon accumulation rate in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau - Jian Sun; Tian‐Cai Zhou; Miao Liu; You‐Chao Chen; Guo‐Hua Liu; Ming Xu; Pei‐Li Shi; Fei Peng; Atsushi Tsunekawa; Yu Liu; Xiao‐Dan Wang; Shi‐Kui Dong; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020)
Aim Climate change is expected to have important effects on plant phenology and carbon storage, with further shifts predicted in the future. Therefore, we proposed the community carbon accumulation rate (CAR) from the start of the growing season (SOS) to the peak of the growing season (POS) to fill the gap that the dynamic interactions between plant phenology and plant carbon research. Location Tibetan Plateau. Major taxa Alpine grassland plants. Time period 2015. Methods We conducted a transect survey across grasslands to measure community aboveground net primary production and carbon concentration. Additionally, phenology indicator data (SOS and POS) were extracted from the Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS) normalized difference vegetation index version 3 database. Next, we used ‘ changepoint ’ analysis to detect the patterns of CARs, and performed linear regression and one‐way ANOVA to explore the variability of CARs in response to the environmental factors. Ultimately, the total effects of environmental factors on CARs were illustrated by a structural equation model. Results Our results indicated that three CAR patterns were detected, which are low‐CAR (0.15 g/m 2 /day), medium‐CAR (0.31 g/m 2 /day) and high‐CAR (0.84 g/m 2 /day) patterns. We found that the availabilities of water and heat mediated CARs by regulating soil nutrition variability, and that drought climate and insufficient soil resources co‐constrained the community CAR at long time‐scales. In contrast, high CAR could be explained by more water and heat availability via either direct or indirect effects on soil moisture and soil nutrients. Main conclusions Our findings highlight that water and heat availability are critical driving factors in ecological carbon accumulation processes undergoing climate change. Meanwhile, the vegetative phenology also has important effect on carbon accumulation. Consequently, we propose incorporating the dynamic interactions between plant phenology and plant carbon into the ecological carbon cycle model to improve our understanding of resource utilization and survival strategies of plants under environmental change.

Rare variants in FANCA induce premature ovarian insufficiency - Xi Yang; Xiaojin Zhang; Jiao Jiao; Feng Zhang; Yuncheng Pan; Qiqi Wang; Qing Chen; Baozhu Cai; Shuyan Tang; Zixue Zhou; Siyuan Chen; Hao Yin; et al. (Human Genetics, 2019)
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a major cause of reduced female fertility and affects approximately 1% women under 40 years of age. Recent advances emphasize the genetic heterogeneity of POI. Fanconi anemia (FA) genes, traditionally known for their essential roles in DNA repair and cytogenetic instability, have been demonstrated to be involved in meiosis and germ cell development. Here, we conducted whole-exome sequencing (WES) in 50 Han Chinese female patients with POI. Rare missense variants were identified in FANCA ( Fanconi anemia complementation group A ): c.1772G > A (p.R591Q) and c.3887A > G (p.E1296G). Both variants are heterozygous in the patients and very rare in the human population. In vitro functional studies further demonstrated that these two missense variants of FANCA exhibited reduced protein expression levels compared with the wild type, suggesting the partial loss of function. Moreover, mono-ubiquitination levels of FANCD2 upon mitomycin C stimulation were significantly reduced in cells overexpressing FANCA variants. Furthermore, a loss-of-function mutation of Fanca was generated in C57BL/6 mice for in vivo functional assay. Consistently, heterozygous mutated female mice ( Fanca + / − ) showed reduced fertility and declined numbers of follicles with aging when compared with the wild-type female mice. Collectively, our results suggest that heterozygous pathogenic variants in FANCA are implicated in non-syndromic POI in Han Chinese women, provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of POI and highlight the contribution of FANCA variants in female subfertility.

Numerical Study of the Interaction between Level Ice and Wind Turbine Tower for Estimation of Ice Crushing Loads on Structure - Ming Song; Wei Shi; Zhengru Ren; Li Zhou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
In this paper, the interaction between level ice and wind turbine tower is simulated by the explicit nonlinear code LS-DYNA. The isotropic elasto-plastic material model is used for the level ice, in which ice crushing failure is considered. The effects of ice mesh size and ice failure strain on ice forces are investigated. The results indicate that these parameters have a significant effect on the ice crushing loads. To validate and benchmark the numerical simulations, experimental data on level ice-wind turbine tower interactions are used. First, the failure strains of the ice models with different mesh sizes are calibrated using the measured maximum ice force from one test. Next, the calibrated ice models with different mesh sizes are applied for other tests, and the simulated results are compared to corresponding model test data. The effects of the impact speed and the size of wind turbine tower on the comparison between the simulated and measured results are studied. The comparison results show that the numerical simulations can capture the trend of the ice loads with the impact speed and the size of wind turbine tower. When a mesh size of ice model is 1.5 times the ice thickness, the simulations can give more accurate estimations in terms of maximum ice loads for all tests, i.e., good agreement between the simulated and measured results is achieved.

Duplication and diversification of trehalase confers evolutionary advantages on lepidopteran insects - Yanyan Zhou; Xiaotong Li; Susumu Katsuma; Yusong Xu; Liangen Shi; Toru Shimada; Huabing Wang (Molecular Ecology, 2019)
Gene duplication provides a major source of new genes for evolutionary novelty and ecological adaptation. However, the maintenance of duplicated genes and their relevance to adaptive evolution has long been debated. Insect trehalase (Treh) plays key roles in energy metabolism, growth, and stress recovery. Here, we show that the duplication of Treh in Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) is linked with their adaptation to various environmental stresses. Generally, two Treh genes are present in insects: Treh1 and Treh2 . We report three distinct forms of Treh in lepidopteran insects, where Treh1 was duplicated into two gene clusters ( Treh1a and Treh1b ). These gene clusters differ in gene expression patterns, enzymatic properties, and subcellular localizations, suggesting that the enzymes probably underwent sub‐ and/or neofunctionalization in the lepidopteran insects. Interestingly, selective pressure analysis provided significant evidence of positive selection on duplicate Treh1b gene in lepidopteran insect lineages. Most positively selected sites were located in the alpha‐helical region, and several sites were close to the trehalose binding and catalytic sites. Subcellular adaptation of duplicate Treh1b driven by positive selection appears to have occurred as a result of selected changes in specific sequences, allowing for rapid reprogramming of duplicated Treh during evolution. Our results suggest that gene duplication of Treh and subsequent functional diversification could increase the survival rate of lepidopteran insects through various regulations of intracellular trehalose levels, facilitating their adaptation to diverse habitats. This study provides evidence regarding the mechanism by which gene family expansion can contribute to species adaptation through gene duplication and subsequent functional diversification.

Multi‐model analysis of climate impacts on plant photosynthesis in China during 2000–2015 - Hao Yan; Shao‐Qiang Wang; Jun‐Bang Wang; Yun Cao; Ling‐Ling Xu; Men‐Xin Wu; Lu Cheng; Liu‐Xi Mao; Feng‐Hua Zhao; Xian‐Zhou Zhang; Yun‐Fen Liu; Yan‐Fen Wang; et al. (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Differences, arising from differences in gross primary production (GPP) model structures and driving forces, have fuelled arguments concerning interannual changes of GPP in China since 2000. To better investigate the interannual variability of GPP and its covariance with climate factors in China, this study adopted a multi‐model analysis based on three GPP models (i.e., Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon flux model [TEC], Breathing Earth System Simulator model [BESS], and MOD17 GPP model). The results show that annual GPP in China increased by 0.021–0.057 Pg C year −1 from 2000 to 2015 attributable to atmospheric‐CO 2 fertilization effects and favourable climate change, that is, increasing precipitation ( P r ) and temperature ( T a ). However, northern China and southern China had a large difference in the amplitude of these GPP changes; annual GPP increased by 0.017–0.039 Pg C year −1 in northern China but only 0.001–0.018 Pg C year −1 in southern China. Northern China and southern China occupy contrasting climate zones and this contrast produced different interannual variability of GPP through different mechanisms. Northern China has a dry climate with GPP changes sensitive to P r . As a result, more P r along with higher T a in northern China produced the strong uptrend of GPP from 2000 to 2015. In contrast, southern China has a wet climate with its GPP sensitive to solar radiation and T a . For the interval of 2000–2015, decreasing radiation plus drought exerted a negative influence on GPP in southern China. This study highlights the diverse mechanisms in which climate change affects GPP in dry and wet climate zones. A robust multi‐model analysis is preferred to reduce uncertainties arising from a single GPP model and its driving data.
