Melatonin inhibits senescence-associated melanin pigmentation through the p53-TYR pathway in human primary melanocytes and the skin of C57BL/6 J mice after UVB irradiation - Li-Ping Ma; Meng-Meng Liu; Fang Liu; Bo Sun; Si-Nian Wang; Jie Chen; Hui-Jie Yu; Juan Yan; Mei Tian; Ling Gao; Qing-Jie Liu (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2023)
UVB exposure accelerates skin aging and pigmentation. Melatonin effectively regulates tyrosinase (TYR) activity and aging. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between premature senescence and pigmentation, and the mechanism of melanin synthesis effected by melatonin. Primary melanocytes were extracted and identified from the male foreskin. To inhibit TYR expression, primary melanocytes were transduced with the lentivirus pLKD-CMV-EGFP-2A-Puro-U6-TYR. The wild-type TYR ( + / + ) and TYR (–/–) or TYR ( + /–) knockout C57BL/6 J mice were used to determine the role of TYR on melanin synthesis in vivo. Results showed that UVB-induced melanin synthesis is dependent on TYR in primary melanocytes and mice. Furthermore, in primary melanocytes pretreated with Nutlin-3 or PFT-α to up or downregulate p53, results showed that premature senescence and melanin synthesis increased in primary melanocytes after UVB irradiation at 80 mJ/cm 2 , and further increased after being treated with Nutlin-3, while significantly decreased with PFT-α. In addition, melatonin inhibited UVB-induced premature senescence associated with inactivation of p53 and phosphorylation of p53 on Ser15 (ser-15), a decrease of melanin synthesis accompanied by reduced TYR expression. Moreover, skin erythema and pigmentation induced by UVB were reduced in the dorsal and ear skin of mice topically pretreated with 2.5% melatonin. These indicate that melatonin inhibits UVB-induced senescence-associated pigmentation via the p53-TYR pathway in primary melanocytes and prevents pigmentation obviously in the dorsal and ear skin of C57BL/6 J mice after UVB irradiation. Key messages P53 links UVB irradiation-induced senescence and senescence-associated pigmentation and regulates TYR in primary melanocytes after UVB irradiation. Melatonin inhibits senescence-associated pigmentation through the p53-TYR pathway in primary melanocytes. Melatonin prevents skin erythema and melanin pigmentation induced by UVB irradiation in the dorsal and ear skin of C57BL/6J mice.

MicroRNA‑124: an emerging therapeutic target in central nervous system disorders - Wen-Hao Zhang; Lian Jiang; Mei Li; Jing Liu (Experimental Brain Research, 2023)
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of neuron and non-neuron cells including neural stem/precursor cells (NSPCs), neuroblasts, glia cells (mainly astrocyte, oligodendroglia and microglia), which thereby form a precise and complicated network and exert diverse functions through interactions of numerous bioactive ingredients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), with small size approximately ~ 21nt and as well-documented post-transcriptional key regulators of gene expression, are a cluster of evolutionarily conserved endogenous non-coding RNAs. More than 2000 different miRNAs has been discovered till now. MicroRNA-124(miR-124), the most brain-rich microRNA, has been validated to possess important functions in the central nervous system, including neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation, cell fate determination, neuron migration, synapse plasticity and cognition, cell apoptosis etc. According to recent studies, herein, we provide a review of this conversant miR-124 to further understand the potential functions and therapeutic and clinical value in brain diseases.

High carbon emissions from thermokarst lakes and their determinants in the Tibet Plateau - Cuicui Mu; Mei Mu; Xiaodong Wu; Lin Jia; Chenyan Fan; Xiaoqing Peng; Chien‐Lu Ping; Qingbai Wu; Cunde Xiao; Jianbao Liu (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Thermokarst lakes are potentially important sources of methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). However, considerable uncertainty exists regarding carbon emissions from thermokarst lakes owing to a limited understanding of their patterns and motivators. In this study, we measured CH 4 and CO 2 diffusive fluxes in 163 thermokarst lakes in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) over 3 years from May to October. The median carbon emissions from the QTP thermokarst lakes were 1440 mg CO 2 m −2 day −1 and 60 mg CH 4 m −2 day −1 , respectively. The diffusive rates of CO 2 and CH 4 are related to the catchment land cover type. Sediment microbial abundance and hydrochemistry explain 51.9% and 38.3% of the total variance in CH 4 diffusive emissions, respectively, while CO 2 emissions show no significant relationship with environmental factors. When upscaling carbon emissions from the QTP thermokarst lakes, the annual average CH 4 release per lake area is equal to that of the pan‐Arctic region. Our findings highlight the importance of incorporating in situ observation data with different emission pathways for different land cover types in predicting carbon emissions from thermokarst lakes in the future.

Discovery of a natural small-molecule AMP-activated kinase activator that alleviates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis - Jin Chen; Li Xu; Xue-Qing Zhang; Xue Liu; Zi-Xuan Zhang; Qiu-Mei Zhu; Jian-Yu Liu; Muhammad Omer Iqbal; Ning Ding; Chang-Lun Shao; Mei-Yan Wei; Yu-Chao Gu (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2023)
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a primary cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unfortunately, there is no approved drug treatment for NASH. AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is an important metabolic sensor and whole-body regulator. It has been proposed that AMPK activators could be used for treating metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and NASH. In this study, we screened a marine natural compound library by monitoring AMPK activity and found a potent AMPK activator, candidusin A ( CHNQD-0803 ). Further studies showed that CHNQD-0803 directly binds recombinant AMPK with a K D value of 4.728 × 10 –8 M and activates AMPK at both molecular and intracellular levels. We then investigated the roles and mechanisms of CHNQD-0803 in PA-induced fat deposition, LPS-stimulated inflammation, TGF-β-induced fibrosis cell models and the MCD-induced mouse model of NASH. The results showed that CHNQD-0803 inhibited the expression of adipogenesis genes and reduced fat deposition, negatively regulated the NF-κB-TNFα inflammatory axis to suppress inflammation, and ameliorated liver injury and fibrosis. These data indicate that CHNQD-0803 as an AMPK activator is a novel potential therapeutic candidate for NASH treatment.

Numerical Analysis of Propeller Wake Evolution under Different Advance Coefficients - Duo Yu; Yu Zhao; Mei Li; Haitian Liu; Suoxian Yang; Liang Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Propeller wake fields in an open-water configuration were compared between two loading circumstances using large-eddy simulation (LES) with a computational domain of 48 million grids and an overset mesh technique. To validate the results of the numerical simulation, available experimental data are compared, which indicates that the grid systems are suitable for the present study. The results indicate that the present LES simulations describe the inertial frequency range well for both high and low-loading conditions. Under high-loading conditions, the interlaced spirals and secondary vortices that connect adjacent tip vortices amplify the effects of mutual inductance, ultimately triggering the breakdown of the propeller wake systems. At a great distance from the propeller, the vortex system loses all coherence and turns into a collection of smaller vortices that are equally scattered across the wake. In contrast, under light-loading conditions, the wake vortex system exhibits strong coherence and has a relatively simple topology. The elliptic instability and pairing processes are only observed at a far distance from the propeller. The convection velocity transferring tip vortices downstream is larger under the light-loading condition, which leads to the larger pitch of the helicoidal vortices. The larger pitch weakens the mutual inductance or interaction effects among tip vortices, which delays the instability behaviors of the whole vortex system. The results and implications of this study serve as a guide for the development and improvement of next-generation propellers that function optimally when operating behind aquaculture vessels.

Distribution and dissolution kinetics of biogenic silica in sediments of the northern South China Sea - Yuwei Ma; Bin Yang; Nan Zhou; Jin Huang; Su Mei Liu; Dongdong Zhu; Wen Liang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The dissolution efficiency of sedssimentary biogenic silica (bSiO 2 ) dramatically affects the regeneration of dissolved silicic acid (dSi) at the sediment-water interface, which is a crucial pathway to maintain Si balance and silicic productivity growth in marine environments. We conducted wet alkaline leach and flow-through experiments to explore the dissolution behaviors of sedimentary bSiO 2 in the northern South China Sea (NSCS), one of the largest marginal sea continental shelves. The bSiO 2 contents of surface sediments were 0.64 - 2.06%, with an average of 1.04 ± 0.35%, varying with isobath water depth. The solubility of bSiO 2 in surface sediments ranged from 227 μmol L -1 to 519 μmol L -1 , and the dissolution rate constants varied from 0.67 to 1.53 yr -1 under specific conditions in lab incubation. The correlation between the biogenic materials (bSiO 2 , OC, and TN) revealed a different preservation pattern of bSiO 2 in finer (Φ > ~ 5.5) and coarser (Φ< ~ 5.5) sediments. The high concentration of Al in sea water and “Al – detrital – bSiO 2 ” interactions in sediments significantly interfered with the apparent solubility and dissolution dynamics of bSiO 2 . We combined the regional characteristics (primary production, bottom current, and resuspension-deposition) and the reconstructed dissolution kinetics of bSiO 2 explained the mismatch between the surface (diatom biomass)/(total phytoplankton biomass) ratio and the sedimentary bSiO 2 /OC ratio, and the mismatch between the surface bSiO 2 primary productivity and the bSiO 2 sediment records in the NSCS. The resuspension-deposition, the higher reconstructed rate constants (0.94 ± 0.13 yr -1 ), and the dissolution rate (0.20 ± 0.01 yr -1 ) were responsible for the lower bSiO 2 /OC ratio (0.45 ± 0.28) at the inner shelf, and the winnowing process at the outer shelf with the lower reconstructed reactivity (0.30 yr -1 ) and dissolution rate (0.001 yr -1 ) led to the good preservation of bSiO 2 in the upper slope. Furthermore, through the comparison with other sea areas, the relatively lower reactivity (1.12 ± 0.3 yr -1 ) of bSiO 2 in sediments supported the notion that the NSCS sediments may serve as an important silica sink in the world ocean silica cycle.

Influence of multiple islands on the hysteresis and dynamics of a western boundary current perturbed by a mesoscale eddy at a gap - Kunshan Li; Huan Mei; Xiangbai Wu; Jianxin Dong; Qian Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The hysteresis of a western boundary current (WBC) flowing across a gap and the dynamics of the mesoscale eddy–WBC interaction with the presence of two islands in the gap are studied using a 1.5-layer ocean model. The hysteresis of the WBC suggests that the two islands in the gap facilitate the WBC to intrude into the western basin by shedding eddies compared with the no-island case, but they promote the WBC to leap across the gap compared with the one-island case. The mesoscale eddies from the east of the gap can induce the critical-state WBC shifting from penetration to leap and vice versa. The dynamics revealed by the vorticity balance analysis shows that the increased (decreased) meridional advection of the WBC perturbed by the eddy forces the WBC to leap across (intrude into the western basin through) the gap. We also present the parameter space of the critical strength of the eddy with variable north–south locations inducing the critical WBC transition. For the WBC critical from the eddy-shedding to leaping regime, the regime shift is most sensitive to the anticyclonic eddy from the gap center and to the cyclonic eddy from the southern gap. It is least sensitive to the eddy downstream of the WBC. For the WBC critical from the leaping to eddy-shedding regime, the regime shift is most sensitive to the anticyclonic eddy upstream of the WBC and to the cyclonic eddy from the southern gap. The least sensitive eddy is from the northern gap.

Inhibition of phosphorylated calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIα relieves streptozotocin-induced diabetic neuropathic pain through regulation of P2X3 receptor in dorsal root ganglia - Xiao-fen He; Yu-rong Kang; Xue-yu Fei; Lu-hang Chen; Xiang Li; Yi-qi Ma; Qun-qi Hu; Si-ying Qu; Han-zhi Wang; Xiao-mei Shao; Bo-yi Liu; Yi-Liang; et al. (Purinergic Signalling, 2023)
Diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) is frequent among patients with diabetes. We previously showed that P2X3 upregulation in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) plays a role in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DNP but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, a rat model of DNP was established by a single injection of STZ (65 mg/kg). Fasting blood glucose was significantly elevated from the 1 st to 3 rd week. Paw withdrawal thresholds (PWTs) and paw withdrawal latencies (PWLs) in diabetic rats significantly reduced from the 2 nd to 3 rd week. Western blot analysis revealed that elevated p-CaMKIIα levels in the DRG of DNP rats were accompanied by pain-associated behaviors while CaMKIIα levels were unchanged. Immunofluorescence revealed significant increase in the proportion of p-CaMKIIα immune positive DRG neurons (stained with NeuN) in the 2 nd and 3 rd week and p-CaMKIIα was co-expressed with P2X3 in DNP rats. KN93, a CaMKII antagonist, significantly reduce mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia and these effects varied dose-dependently, and suppressed p-CaMKIIα and P2X3 upregulation in the DRGs of DNP rats. These results revealed that the p-CaMKIIα upregulation in DRG is involved in DNP, which possibly mediated P2X3 upregulation, indicating CaMKIIα may be an effective pharmacological target for DNP management.

Analysis of Gaps Yield and Resource use Efficiency of Cold-Region Japonica Rice - Yan Jia; Hualong Liu; Yingwen Mei; Hao Wang; Detang Zou; Jingguo Wang; Hongliang Zheng; Jin Wang; Hao Zhang; Hongwei Zhao (International Journal of Plant Production, 2023)
Rice is the primary staple food for more than 50% of the world’s population. Narrowing the gap between the maximum potential food crop yield and actual yield is critical for improving the current yield, resource use efficiency, and global food security. Here, we examined the fertilizer use efficiency (FUE), radiation use efficiency (RUE), and temperature production efficiency (TPE) of four management treatments (super high yield [SH], high yield and high efficiency [HH], farmer level [FP], and basic production level [CK]). SH and HH treatments significantly reduced the yield gap by 22.4 and 9.5%, respectively. The large yield gap between HH and FP was mainly attributed to high specific leaf weight at the jointing stage (7.5–7.7 mg·cm −2 ), and the high leaf area maintained during tillering–jointing stages (35.4–37.6 m 2 ·m −2 ·per day). Compared with FP, HH increased the specific leaf weight in the heading stage (8.2–8.4 mg·cm −2 ), relative crop growth rate, net assimilation rate (NAR), and mean leaf area index (> 2.6). Moreover, compared with FP, HH significantly increased partial factor productivity (PFP) of nitrogen, FUE, TPE, and RUE owing to greater yield and NAR after the full heading stage. Although the HH yield was 93.32% that of SH, HH increased PFP of fertilizer (12.5%), fertilizer nitrogen (9.07%), and fertilizer K 2 O (36.34%), and required 26% less fertilizer than SH. The findings of this study could facilitate high-efficiency rice production and bridging of yield gaps.

Distribution and physical–biological controls of dimethylsulfide in the western tropical Indian Ocean during winter monsoon - Shi-Mei Liang; Xing Zhai; Cheng-Xuan Li; Ming Xin; Ping Sun; Xuan-Li Liu; Lin Liu; Bao-Dong Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
New field observation on distribution, turnover, and sea–air flux of three dimethylated sulfur compounds (dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate, and dimethylsulfoxide) in the western tropical Indian Ocean (WTIO; 4°N–10°S, 61°–65°E) were conducted under the major Global Change and Air–Sea Interaction Program during the 2021/2022 Northeast Monsoon (December 21, 2021 to January 11, 2022). Significantly high surface concentrations of DMS were identified in the region of the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR; 5°–10°S). This occurred because the shallow thermocline/nitracline and associated upwelling fueled biological production of DMS in the subsurface, which was brought to the surface through vertical mixing. The calculated sea–air DMS flux was also significantly strong in the SCTR region during the Northeast Monsoon owing to combination of high wind speed and high surface concentration of DMS. This finding is similar to results obtained previously during the Southwest Monsoon, suggesting that the SCTR region is an area of active DMS emission during both the Northeast Monsoon and the Southwest Monsoon. Microbial consumption was the dominant pathway of DMS removal, accounting for 74.4% of the total, whereas the processes of photolysis (17.7%) and ventilation (7.9%) were less important. Future work should be undertaken in the WTIO to establish how DMS emission is linked to aerosol properties and climate change.

Automatic diagnosis of late-life depression by 3D convolutional neural networks and cross-sample Entropy analysis from resting-state fMRI - Chemin Lin; Shwu-Hua Lee; Chih-Mao Huang; Guan-Yen Chen; Wei Chang; Ho-Ling Liu; Shu-Hang Ng; Tatia Mei-Chun Lee; Shun-Chi Wu (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2023)
Resting-state fMRI has been widely used in investigating the pathophysiology of late-life depression (LLD). Unlike the conventional linear approach, cross-sample entropy (CSE) analysis shows the nonlinear property in fMRI signals between brain regions. Moreover, recent advances in deep learning, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), provide a timely application for understanding LLD. Accurate and prompt diagnosis is essential in LLD; hence, this study aimed to combine CNN and CSE analysis to discriminate LLD patients and non-depressed comparison older adults based on brain resting-state fMRI signals. Seventy-seven older adults, including 49 patients and 28 comparison older adults, were included for fMRI scans. Three-dimensional CSEs with volumes corresponding to 90 seed regions of interest of each participant were developed and fed into models for disease classification and depression severity prediction. We obtained a diagnostic accuracy > 85% in the superior frontal gyrus (left dorsolateral and right orbital parts), left insula, and right middle occipital gyrus. With a mean root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 2.41, three separate models were required to predict depressive symptoms in the severe, moderate, and mild depression groups. The CSE volumes in the left inferior parietal lobule, left parahippocampal gyrus, and left postcentral gyrus performed best in each respective model. Combined complexity analysis and deep learning algorithms can classify patients with LLD from comparison older adults and predict symptom severity based on fMRI data. Such application can be utilized in precision medicine for disease detection and symptom monitoring in LLD.

Analysis of Whole Blood and Urine Trace Elements in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Autistic Behaviors - Gang Zhao; Si-jin Liu; Xin-yu Gan; Jun-ru Li; Xiao-xue Wu; Si-yan Liu; Yi-si Jin; Ke-rang Zhang; Hong-mei Wu (Biological Trace Element Research, 2023)
The relationship between trace elements and neurological development is an emerging research focus. We performed a case–control study to explore (1) the differences of 13 trace elements chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd), stannum (Sn), stibium (Sb), mercury (Hg), titanium (TI), and plumbum (Pb) concentration in whole blood and urine between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children and their typical development peers, and (2) the association between the 13 trace elements and core behaviors of ASD. Thirty ASD subjects (cases) and 30 age-sex-matched healthy subjects from Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, were recruited. Element analysis was carried out by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. Autistic behaviors were assessed using Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), and Children Neuropsychological and Behavior Scale (CNBS). The whole blood concentrations of Mo ( p = 0.004), Cd (0.007), Sn ( p = 0.003), and Pb ( p = 0.037) were significantly higher in the ASD cases than in the controls. Moreover, Se (0.393), Hg (0.408), and Mn (− 0.373) concentrations were significantly correlated between whole blood and urine levels in ASD case subjects. There were significant correlations between whole blood Sb (0.406), Tl (0.365), Mo (− 0.4237), Mn (− 0.389), Zn (0.476), and Se (0.375) levels and core behaviors of ASD. Although the mechanism of trace element imbalance in ASD is unclear, these data demonstrate that core behaviors of ASD may be affected by certain trace elements. Further studies are recommended for exploring the mechanism of element imbalance and providing corresponding clinical treatment measures.

Revisiting the biogenic silica burial flux determinations: A case study for the East China seas - Dongdong Zhu; Jill N. Sutton; Aude Leynaert; Paul J. Tréguer; Jonas Schoelynck; Morgane Gallinari; Yuwei Ma; Su Mei Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The Coastal and Continental Margin Zones (CCMZs) contribute to 40% of the total burial flux of biogenic silica (bSi) of the world ocean. However, the accurate determination of the bSi content (bSiO 2 %) in marine sediments remains a challenge. The alkaline methods commonly used to quantitatively determine bSiO 2 % can completely digest the amorphous silica of diatoms but are less effective at digesting radiolarians and sponge spicules. In addition, the lithogenic silica (lSi) found in sediments is partly digested during these alkaline extractions, which can bias the accuracy of the determined bSiO 2 %. This is of importance in CCMZs where the lSi:bSi ratio is high. In this study, we examined sediments collected in the CCMZs of East China seas, an environment of peculiar interest given the large amount of lSi deposited by the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The results show that alkaline digestions using stronger solutions and pretreatment steps resulted in an overestimate of the bSiO 2 % due to increased leaching of silica mainly from authigenic silicates and clays, whereas weak digestions underestimated the bSiO 2 % owing to incomplete digestion of sponge spicules. We found that the use of the Si/Al method accurately corrects for the lSi fraction in marine sediments, and thereby improves the determinations of bSiO 2 % in the sediments of East China seas CCMZs. Ensuring full digestion of all bSi remains challenging, in particular for sponge spicules, motivating both verifications via microscopy and longer extraction times. To emphasize the influence of these methodological differences, we revised the bSi burial flux in the East China seas and provide a new estimate of 253 (± 286) Gmol-SiO2 yr-1, which is one third of the previous estimates. We discuss the potential contribution from radiolarian and sponges and we propose a new general protocol for the determination of bSi in sediments that minimizes the methodological bias in bSi determination.

A Novel Damage Identification Method for Steel Catenary Risers Based on a Novel CNN-GRU Model Optimized by PSO - Zhongyan Liu; Jiangtao Mei; Deguo Wang; Yanbao Guo; Lei Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
As a new type of riser connecting offshore platforms and submarine pipelines, steel catenary risers (SCRs) are generally subject to waves and currents for a long time, thus it is significant to fully evaluate the SCR structure’s safety. Aiming at the damage identification of the SCR, the acceleration time series signals at multiple locations are taken as the damage characteristics. The damage characteristics include spatial information of the measurement point location and time information of the acquisition signal. Therefore, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is employed to obtain spatial information. Considering the variable period characteristics of the acceleration time series of the SCR, a gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network is utilized to study these characteristics. However, neither a single CNN nor GRU model can simultaneously obtain temporal and spatial data information. Therefore, by combining a CNN with a GRU, the CNN-GRU model is established. Moreover, the hyperparameters of deep learning models have a significant influence on their performance. Therefore, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is applied to solve the hyperparameter optimization problem of the CNN-GRU. Thus, the PSO-CNN-GRU (PCG) model is established. Subsequently, an SCR damage identification method based on the PCG model is presented to predict the damage location and degree by SCR acceleration time series. By analyzing the SCR acceleration data, the prediction performances of the PCG model and the PSO optimization capacity are verified. The experimental results indicate that the identification result of the proposed PCG model is better than that of several existing models (CNN, GRU, and CNN-GRU).

Scaling-up and proteomic analysis reveals photosynthetic and metabolic insights toward prolonged H2 photoproduction in Chlamydomonas hpm91 mutant lacking proton gradient regulation 5 (PGR5) - Peng Liu; De-Min Ye; Mei Chen; Jin Zhang; Xia-He Huang; Li-Li Shen; Ke-Ke Xia; Xiao-Jing Xu; Yong-Chao Xu; Ya-Long Guo; Ying-Chun Wang; Fang Huang (Photosynthesis Research, 2022)
Clean and sustainable H 2 production is crucial to a carbon–neutral world. H 2 generation by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an attractive approach for solar-H 2 from H 2 O. However, it is currently not large-scalable because of lacking desirable strains with both optimal H 2 productivity and sufficient knowledge of underlying molecular mechanism. We hereby carried out extensive and in-depth investigations of H 2 photoproduction of hpm91 mutant lacking PGR5 (Proton Gradient Regulation 5) toward its up-scaling and fundamental mechanism issues. We show that hpm91 is at least 100-fold scalable (up to 10 L) with continuous H 2 collection of 7287 ml H 2 /10L-HPBR in averagely 26 days under sulfur deprivation. Also, we show that hpm91 is robust and active during sustained H 2 photoproduction, most likely due to decreased intracellular ROS relative to wild type. Moreover, we obtained quantitative proteomic profiles of wild type and hpm91 at four representing time points of H 2 evolution, leading to 2229 and 1350 differentially expressed proteins, respectively. Compared to wild type, major proteome alterations of hpm91 include not only core subunits of photosystems and those related to anti-oxidative responses but also essential proteins in photosynthetic antenna, C/N metabolic balance, and sulfur assimilation toward both cysteine biosynthesis and sulfation of metabolites during sulfur-deprived H 2 production. These results reveal not only new insights of cellular and molecular basis of enhanced H 2 production in hpm91 but also provide additional candidate gene targets and modules for further genetic modifications and/or in artificial photosynthesis mimics toward basic and applied research aiming at advancing solar-H 2 technology.

Particle breakage and morphology changes of calcareous sands under one-dimensional compression loading - Houzhen Wei; Hao Liu; Tao Zhao; Shuodong Zhang; Linjian Ma; Mei Yin; Qingshan Meng (Marine Geophysical Research, 2022)
Particle breakage and the corresponding change of morphology are two key factors governing the mechanical behavior of calcareous sands in offshore geotechnical engineering constructions. To reveal the characteristics of these two factors, oedometer tests on calcareous sands have been performed in this study. The materials were sampled from the South China Sea with a homogenous composition but different particle size ranges and relative densities. In these tests, the dynamic imaging analysis (DIA) by Microtrac PartAn 3D and acoustic emission (AE) techniques were employed to investigate the evolution of particle morphology and characteristics of AE signaling associated with the material deformations, respectively. The compressive deformation of calcareous sands was mainly induced by the particle rearrangement and particle breakage which are effectively irreversible plastic deformations. The irregular particle shape has led to strong interparticle filling and interlocking effects, which affected the particle slippage and rearrangement significantly during the deformation. The intensity and type of AE-triggering micro-mechanical behaviors were characterized by AE ringdown counts (RDC) and peak frequency, respectively. The RDC values concentrated primarily in the compression stage and increased rapidly under the normal stress of 400–3200 kPa. The RDC values increased with the increase of particle size but decreased with the increase of initial relative density. The compressive deformation and breakage characteristics of calcareous sands are consistent with the existing acoustic emission laws.

This work extrapolates to humans the previous animal studies on blood heterochronicity and establishes a novel direct measurement of biological age. Our results support the hypothesis that, similar to mice, human aging is driven by age-imposed systemic molecular excess, the attenuation of which reverses biological age, defined in our work as a deregulation (noise) of 10 novel protein biomarkers. The results on biological age are strongly supported by the data, which demonstrates that rounds of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) promote a global shift to a younger systemic proteome, including youthfully restored pro-regenerative, anticancer, and apoptotic regulators and a youthful profile of myeloid/lymphoid markers in circulating cells, which have reduced cellular senescence and lower DNA damage. Mechanistically, the circulatory regulators of the JAK-STAT, MAPK, TGF-beta, NF-κB, and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways become more youthfully balanced through normalization of TLR4, which we define as a nodal point of this molecular rejuvenation. The significance of our findings is confirmed through big-data gene expression studies.

The cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway regulates hyphal growth, conidiation, trap morphogenesis, stress tolerance, and autophagy in Arthrobotrys oligospora - Mei‐Chen Zhu; Na Zhao; Yan‐Kun Liu; Xue‐Mei Li; Zheng‐Yi Zhen; Ya‐Qing Zheng; Ke‐Qin Zhang; Jin‐Kui Yang (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
The cyclic adenosine monophosphate‐protein kinase A (cAMP‐PKA) signalling pathway is evolutionarily conserved in eukaryotes and plays a crucial role in defending against external environmental challenges, which can modulate the cellular response to external stimuli. Arthrobotrys oligospora is a typical nematode‐trapping fungus that specializes in adhesive networks to kill nematodes. To elucidate the biological roles of the cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway, we characterized the orthologous adenylate cyclase AoAcy, a regulatory subunit (AoPkaR), and two catalytic subunits (AoPkaC1 and AoPkaC2) of PKA in A. oligospora by gene disruption, transcriptome, and metabolome analyses. Deletion of Aoacy significantly reduced the levels of cAMP and arthrobotrisins. Results revealed that Aoacy , AopkaR , and AopkaC1 were involved in hyphal growth, trap morphogenesis, sporulation, stress resistance, and autophagy. In addition, Aoacy and AopkaC1 were involved in the regulation of mitochondrial morphology, thereby affecting energy metabolism, whereas AopkaC2 affected sporulation, nuclei, and autophagy. Multi‐omics results showed that the cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway regulated multiple metabolic and cellular processes. Collectively, these data highlight the indispensable role of cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway in the growth, development, and pathogenicity of A. oligospora, and provide insights into the regulatory mechanisms of signalling pathways in sporulation, trap formation, and lifestyle transition.

Research on the Hydrodynamic Performance of a Horizontal-Axis Tidal Current Turbine with Symmetrical Airfoil Blades Based on Swept-Back Models - Yu-Ting Yan; Shi-Ming Xu; Cong Liu; Xiao Zhang; Jian-Mei Chen; Xue-Ming Zhang; Yong-Jun Dong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
For the design of a horizontal-axis tidal current turbine with adaptive variable-pitch blades, both numerical simulations and physical model experiments were used to study the hydrodynamic performance of symmetrical airfoil blades based on backward swept models. According to the lift–drag ratio of symmetrical airfoils, variable airfoil sections were selected for each part of the blade in the spanwise direction. Then, three kinds of blades were designed by using different swept-back models from wind turbines. A rotation model with a multi-reference frame was employed to conduct a three-dimensional steady numerical simulation of the turbine model based on the CFD method. The axial thrust and energy-capturing efficiency under different tip speed ratios, as well as the corresponding starting torque under different flow rates, were analyzed. The simulation results indicate that model 2 has optimal start-up performance, and model 3 has the largest power coefficient. The thrust coefficient of model 1 is the smallest. In all, model 2 has better comprehensive performance. The experiments of model 2 show that it has suitable hydrodynamic performance to capture bidirectional energy via passively variable pitch. This research provides an important solution for the design and optimization of horizontal-axis turbines to harvest bidirectional tidal current energy.

Modal Identification of Structures by Eliminating the Effect of the High Ocean Wind - Chun-Xu Qu; Chang-Chong Liu; Xiao-Mei Yang; Hui-Juan Liu; Hong-Nan Li; Yu-Feng Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with severe excitation such as high wind. This severe excitation may change the performance of structures, such as bridges, wharves and wind turbine structures. It is very necessary to monitor this important change. Modal parameters are the ones to reflect the structural instinct behavior. However, many identification methods assume that the excitation is white noise, which is not the truth during high ocean wind excitation. Therefore, the modal identification method to deal with severe ocean wind excitation should be investigated. This paper proposes an innovative method to eliminate the effect of high ocean wind on modal identification. The formulation to generate an impulse response is described, where the effect of high wind is pointed. Then the elimination method is derived using the wind velocity spectrum and correlation function. After the wind field is simulated, the wind velocities and spectra at all accelerometer positions are obtained. The real impulse response form is obtained. Then, modal identification using the real impulse response is performed. Finally, a practical cable-stayed bridge is employed and modal identification is performed. The results show that the identified modes can reflect structural real behavior.

Characterizing Gas Hydrate-Bearing Marine Sediments Using Elastic Properties—Part 2: Seismic Inversion Based on a Pore-Filling–Solid Matrix Decoupling Scheme - Zhiqi Guo; Xiaoyu Lv; Cai Liu; Haifeng Chen; Lulu Mei (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Characterizing gas hydrate-bearing marine sediments using seismic methods is essential for locating potential hydrate resources. However, most existing pre-stack seismic inversion methods estimate the properties of sediments containing gas hydrates without considering specific characteristics associated with gas hydrate occurrences. In the present study, a pore-filling–solid matrix decoupling amplitude variation with offset (AVO) formula is proposed to represent seismic reflectivity in terms of properties associated with gas hydrates. Based on the rock physics relationships of solid substitution, the parameters introduced into the decoupling AVO equation estimate the concentration of gas hydrates with different occurrences, including pore fillings mixed with water and solid components forming part of the dry sediment frame. A theoretical model test indicates that seismic attributes obtained with the decoupling AVO inversion are superior to the conventional wave velocities-related properties in predicting gas hydrate saturations. A realistic model test further validates the applicability of the proposed method in characterizing a gas hydrate system with varying concentrations and layer thickness. By adjusting the tuning parameters, the configurations and concentrations of the gas hydrate system can be identified using the obtained attributes. Therefore, the presented method provides a useful tool for the characterization of gas hydrate-bearing sediments.
