Pond purification system (PPS) is an outdoor aquaculture system designed based on recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) principles, utilizing recirculating water technology, which can achieve large-scale fish farming in the recirculating water system. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the alterations in growth performance, intestinal histology, digestion-absorption function, and structural integrity of channel catfish raised in PPS. The findings indicated a significant optimization in water quality indicators pertinent to aquaculture, including total nitrogen, total phosphorus, chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, and dissolved oxygen. Additionally, the growth performance of channel catfish reared in the PPS group was markedly improved. The intestinal morphology of these channel catfish exhibited increased villus height and a reduced number of mucus cells. Furthermore, serum levels of diamine oxidase and D-lactic acid were significantly decreased in channel catfish raised in the PPS group, while the expression of genes related to the apical junction complex was significantly upregulated, suggesting improved intestinal structural integrity. Moreover, the activities of digestive and absorptive enzymes, such as trypsin, amylase, lipase, and Na + -K + -ATPase, were elevated, indicating enhanced digestive and absorptive functions. In conclusion, based on the conditions of this experiment, the pond purification system module used in this study can effectively improve the quality of the aquaculture water, enhance fish growth performance and improve their intestinal health.

Rutin Inhibits Histamine-Induced Cytotoxicity of Zebrafish Liver Cells via Enhancing Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties - Ke Cheng; Apeng Liu; Di Peng; Lixue Dong; Yangyang Liu; Juan Tian; Hua Wen; Yongju Luo; Zhongbao Guo; Ming Jiang (Fishes, 2025)
Histamine can damage the antioxidant and immune systems in fish and crustaceans. Rutin, a natural substance with a diverse phenolic structure, has demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, whether rutin can mitigate histamine-induced negative effects remains uninvestigated in fish models. This study investigated the effect of 0.1–100 μM rutin preincubation on histamine (29.5 mM)-induced cytotoxicity in zebrafish liver cells (ZFL) and its potential mechanisms. Results showed that 0.1–100 μM rutin significantly improved ZFL cell survival following histamine stimulation and protected cellular morphology. Rutin inhibited the adverse effects of histamine on ZFL by scavenging or suppressing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), H2O2, and malondialdehyde (MDA), while increasing the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC). At the protein level, 10 μM rutin significantly promoted Nrf2 protein expression. HO-1 protein was significantly up-regulated after preincubation with 0.1–10 μM rutin, whereas IL-1β protein levels were significantly down-regulated. The mechanism may involve activation of the Nrf2 antioxidant signaling pathway and inhibition of the NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway. In summary, within the experimental concentration range, 10 μM rutin showed the strongest inhibitory effects on histamine-induced ZFL cell death and oxidative stress. This study provides a theoretical basis and data support for evaluating rutin’s feasibility as a green aquatic feed additive.

Robust peptide/RNA complexes prepared with microfluidic mixing for pulmonary delivery by nebulisation - Cheng Ma; Michael Y. T. Chow; Chengyang Zhang; Paulina Goldbaum; Jamie Chien-Ming Hsieh; Jenny K. W. Lam (Drug Delivery and Translational Research, 2025)
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) have drawn considerable attention in recent years due to their ability to modulate the expression of specific disease-related proteins. However, it is difficult to find safe, robust, and effective RNA delivery systems suitable for pulmonary delivery to treat lung diseases. In this study, two cationic peptides, namely LAH4-L1 and PEG 12 KL4, were employed as non-viral vectors for siRNA and mRNA delivery. Four formulations (i.e. LAH4-L1/siRNA; PEG 12 KL4/siRNA; LAH4-L1/mRNA and PEG 12 KL4/mRNA) were investigated. Microfluidic mixing method was utilised to fabricate RNA complexes in a controllable and reproducible manner. Upon optimisation of the microfluidic mixing protocol, a vibrating mesh nebuliser was employed to aerosolise the RNA complexes, and their transfection efficiency was evaluated on A549 and BEAS-2B cells. Following nebulisation, inhalable mist was generated for all RNA formulations with mass median aerodynamic diameter below 5 μm. Although the hydrodynamic particle sizes of the RNA complexes were significantly reduced to around 100 nm after nebulisation regardless of the original size of the complexes prior to nebulisation, the RNA binding efficiency and the in vitro RNA transfection ability of all the peptide formulations were successfully preserved with no significant differences compared to the same system before nebulisation. The current result indicates that both LAH4-L1 and PEG 12 KL4 hold significant potential for future clinical application for pulmonary siRNA and mRNA delivery through nebulisation.

A Machine Learning-Based Model for Predicting High Deficiency Risk Ships in Port State Control: A Case Study of the Port of Singapore - Ming-Cheng Tsou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
This study developed a model to predict ships with high deficiency risk under Port State Control (PSC) through machine learning techniques, particularly the Random Forest algorithm. The study utilized actual ship inspection data from the Port of Singapore, comprehensively considering various operational and safety indicators of ships, including but not limited to flag state, ship age, past deficiencies, and detention history. By analyzing these factors in depth, this research enhances the efficiency and accuracy of PSC inspections, provides decision support for port authorities, and offers strategic guidance for shipping companies to comply with international safety standards. During the research process, I first conducted detailed data preprocessing, including data cleaning and feature selection, to ensure the effectiveness of model training. Using the Random Forest algorithm, I identified key factors influencing the detention risk of ships and established a risk prediction model accordingly. The model validation results indicated that factors such as ship age, tonnage, company performance, and flag state significantly affect whether a ship exhibits a high deficiency rate. In addition, this study explored the potential and limitations of applying the Random Forest model in predicting high deficiency risk under PSC, and proposed future research directions, including further model optimization and the development of real-time prediction systems. By achieving these goals, I hope to provide valuable experience for other global shipping hubs, promote higher international maritime safety standards, and contribute to the sustainable development of the global shipping industry. This research not only highlights the importance of machine learning in the maritime domain but also demonstrates the potential of data-driven decision-making in improving ship safety management and port inspection efficiency. It is hoped that this study will inspire more maritime practitioners and researchers to explore advanced data analytics techniques to address the increasingly complex challenges of global shipping.

The Spatial Configuration and Force Analyses of Hoses in a Fully Hose-Based Conveyance System - Jun Li; Kai Zhan; Ming Zhang; Yangrui Cheng; Yingying Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
The conveying hose is an important piece of equipment in the field of Marine engineering. Its spatial configuration and force conditions affect the normal operation of the Marine engineering system. This paper proposes a flexible, fully hose-based conveyance method for the field of deep-sea mining and mainly uses Orcaflex software to simulate and analyze the characteristics of the conveying hose in this system. This paper studies the influences of the top spacing, incoming flow direction, and placement and recovery processes on the configuration characteristics and force conditions of the hose. The conclusion drawn is that the conveying hose studied in this paper can maintain a good spatial configuration underwater and has a stable force condition. When the top spacing is 20 m, the transition of the curved section at the bottom of the hose is relatively smooth. The top tension of the hose has a good adaptability to the top spacing and the direction of the incoming flow. The conveying hose can stably complete the deployment and recovery operations.

Integrated Transcriptome and Microbiome Analyses Reveal Growth- and Stress-Response-Related Genes and Microbes in Mandarin Fish (Siniperca chuatsi) - Fan Zhou; Wei Liu; Ming Qi; Qianrong Liang; Gaohua Yao; Cheng Ma; Xueyan Ding; Zaihang Yu; Xinyu Li; Zhanqi Wang (Fishes, 2025)
Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) are known to exhibit distinct physiological and immunological adaptations to environmental stressors, but the underlying molecular and microbial mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we integrated transcriptome and microbiome analyses to investigate adaptations across three geographically distinct mandarin fish groups: Guangdong (G), Qiupu (Q), and native Taihu (T). Liver RNA sequencing revealed 5339 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between T and G and 1531 DEGs between T and Q. Functional enrichment analysis revealed group-specific responses. Specifically, DEGs from T vs. G were linked to small-molecule metabolism and innate immunity whereas the DEGs from T vs. Q were related to immune regulation and chromatin organization. The concurrent 16S rRNA sequencing of the intestinal microbiota identified 2680 amplicon sequence variants, with principal coordinate analysis showing distinct clustering (31.77% variance). Group T had higher Firmicutes abundance whereas groups G and Q had a higher relative abundance of Fusobacteriota. Correlation networks revealed key microbe–gene interactions, including positive links between Lactobacillus and immune genes in group T and negative associations with Romboutsia. These findings suggest that enhanced immune homeostasis and metabolic flexibility in group T may result from coordinated host gene expression and Lactobacillus-driven microbiome modulation. We provide new insights into the mechanisms of adaptation in mandarin fish and identify potential biomarkers for enhancing aquaculture resilience.

Ship pipeline selection, as a crucial component of ship pipeline design, is often a time-consuming process due to its high complexity. In this study, the response surface methodology combined with the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to optimize the fuel pipeline resistance and its space volume, aiming to select the optimal design scheme for an X-type replenishment oiler. Firstly, a one-dimensional pipeline system simulation model of a replenishment oiler was established based on the Flowmaster software (version 4.2_0 2020), and the fueling process was simulated. The simulation results were validated against the experimental results, and good agreements were obtained. Then, the response surface methodology was employed to establish regression models for the pipeline resistance, pipeline space volume, and imbalance degree of branch flows. Finally, multi-objective particle swarm optimization was used to optimize the target and select the optimal virtual solution from the Pareto front. Constrained by the international application standard, the optimal real solution was determined. Compared with the original scheme, the optimized scheme reduced the resistance by 3.57% for the #1 pipeline system and by 3.51% for the #2 pipeline system, respectively, and the space volume of the pipeline system was reduced by 5.72% while ensuring the flow balance.

ONC201 exerts oncogenic effects beyond its mitochondria-disturbing role in neuroblastoma subsets - Jyun-Hong Jiang; Yu-Han Lin; Pei-Lin Liao; Ting-Ya Chen; Hui-Ching Chuang; Chao-Cheng Huang; Wen-Ming Hsu; Jiin-Haur Chuang; Wei-Shiung Lian (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2025)
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a formidable challenge in pediatric oncology due to its intricate molecular landscape, necessitating multifaceted therapeutic approaches. ONC201 is an imipridone antibiotic compound with a promising drug candidate leveraging its potent anticancer properties against the mitochondrial proteases ClpP and ClpX. Despite demonstrating early clinical promise, particularly in MYCN -amplified NB, its efficacy in non- MYCN -amplified NB remains a subject worthy of investigation. In this study, we extended the coverage of ONC201 to treat non- MYCN -amplified NB, and our data implicated ONC201’s inability to reduce tumor growth in animal models harboring SK-N-AS or SK-N-FI cell lines. Interestingly, ONC201 induced the expression of oncogenic markers c-Myc and LGR5 while downregulating the tumor suppressor ATRX. While it fails to attenuate tumor neovascularization in non- MYCN -amplified NB xenografts, its effectiveness differs from that of its MYCN-amplified counterpart. Rho zero (ρ0)-SK-N-AS cells treated with ONC201 showed comparable observed trends in parental SK-N-AS cells, including LGR5 upregulation and ATRX downregulation, suggesting that ONC201’s multifaceted actions extend beyond mitochondrial targets. Our elucidation highlights the need to discern molecular signatures when deploying ONC201 monotherapy against NB, which lacks MYCN- amplification.

Genetic Analysis of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Biosynthesis Pathway Determines Four Distinct Thraustochytrid Types - Sou‐Yu Cheng; Yi‐Jing Chen; Hsiu‐Chin Lin; Hsin‐Yang Chang; Ming‐Der Huang (Environmental Microbiology, 2025)
Thraustochytrids, diverse marine unicellular protists encompassing over 10 recognised genera, are renowned for synthesising polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), with content and composition varying substantially across genera. While PUFAs are known to be produced via PUFA synthase (PUFA‐S) and/or elongase/desaturase (ELO/DES) pathways, the distinctions in genes involved remain unexplored. This study analysed PUFA biosynthetic genes in 19 thraustochytrid strains across six genera, categorising them into four types. Type I exclusively utilises the ELO/DES pathway, Type II employs both PUFA‐S and complete ELO/DES pathways, while Types III and IV primarily rely on PUFA‐S, with Type III lacking the canonical Δ9 desaturase and Type IV missing most desaturase and elongase enzymes. Notably, the Δ9 desaturase and ATP‐citrate lyase ( ACLY ) are exclusive to Types I and II, while β‐carotene hydroxylase ( CrtZ ) is absent in these types. ACLY absence suggests alternative acetyl‐CoA supply pathways in Types III and IV, whereas CrtZ absence implies either a lack of specific xanthophylls or alternative biosynthetic pathways in Types I and II. Synteny analysis revealed conserved genomic organisation of PUFA biosynthetic genes, indicating a shared evolutionary trajectory. This study provides insights into the genetic diversity underlying PUFA biosynthesis in thraustochytrids, while proposing putative evolutionary pathways for the four lineages.

The impact of summer Yangtze river runoff fluctuations on estuarine fronts dynamics and zooplankton communities from 2016 to 2023 - Yepeng Xu; Fangping Cheng; Xiao Ma; Ming Mao; Yuanli Zhu; Zhibing Jiang; Ziting Zheng; Jiangning Zeng; Lu Shou; Feng Zhou; Ping Du (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Estuarine fronts, which arise from the convergence of distinct water masses, exhibit considerable spatial and temporal variability and play a crucial role in shaping ecological dynamics within estuarine ecosystems. Despite their importance, due to limited data, there’s inefficiency understanding on how biological communities, particularly zooplankton, respond to these dynamic environmental features. The Yangtze River Estuary (YRE), a transitional zone between the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, is an ideal place in which to study the response of zooplankton communities to estuarine fronts, as freshwater discharge, offshore waters, and the Taiwan Warm Current converge here and form sediment and plume fronts in summer. We investigate zooplankton communities and environmental variables including temperature, salinity, turbidity, and Chlorophyll a (Chl a ) in the YRE during summer from 2016 to 2023, and examine the differences in spatial distribution of estuarine fronts and zooplankton community and the dominant environmental factors controlling zooplankton variation in different runoff years. Our findings found that the sediment fronts appeared around 122.5°E except in drought years (2022 and 2023); the plume fronts extended to 123.5°E and beyond during wet years (2016, 2020 and 2021), while shrank within 123°E in drought years. The zooplankton communities were classified into low-salinity, moderate-salinity, and high-salinity groups spatially in most years, but the low-salinity group had not been detected in the extreme drought year 2022. During flood years, low-salinity nearshore species such as Oithona brevicornis , Centropages dorsispinatus and Cladocera exhibited a notable increase in dominance, while the drought favored euryhaline species like Microsetella rosea . Furthermore, the turbidity, salinity and temperature all played significant roles in zooplankton spatial variation in wet years, while only salinity played as an important factor in drought years. These results implied the prominent sediment fronts and extended plume fronts in wet years shaped the zooplankton spatial variation collectively; in contrast, sediment fronts disappeared during drought years, and the plume fronts played a crucial role in shaping the zooplankton spatial variation. Besides, the extremely low runoff in 2022 has been shown to lead to obvious changes in zooplankton communities, which might affect fisheries stocks and require concern.

Uncertainty Analysis of Overflow Due to Sea Dike Failure During Typhoon Events - Wei-Che Huang; Wen-Cheng Liu; Hong-Ming Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
Taiwan is frequently affected by typhoons, which cause storm surges and wave impacts that damage sea dikes, resulting in overflow and subsequent flooding. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the damage to sea dikes caused by storm surges and wave impacts, leading to overflow, for effective coastal protection. This study employs the ADCIRC model coupled with the SWAN model to simulate storm surges and waves around Taiwan and develops a sea dike failure model that incorporates mechanisms for impact damage, run-up damage, and overflow calculation. To ensure model accuracy, three historical typhoon events were used for calibration and validation of the ADCIRC+SWAN model. The results show that the ADCIRC coupled with SWAN model can effectively simulate storm surges and waves during typhoons. Typhoon Soulik (2013) was simulated to examine a breach in the Tamsui Youchekou sea dike in northern Taiwan, and an uncertainty analysis was conducted using the Monte Carlo method and Bayesian theorem. The results indicate that when the compressive strength of the sea dike is reduced to 5% of its original strength, impact and run-up damage occur, leading to overflow. In the case of impact damage, the overflow volume due to the breach falls within a 95% confidence interval of 0.16 × 106 m3 to 130 × 106 m3. For run-up damage, the 95% confidence interval for the overflow volume ranges from 0.16 × 106 m3 to 639 × 106 m3. The ADCIRC+SWAN model is used to simulate storm surge and waves, incorporating impact damage and run-up damage mechanisms to represent concrete sea dike failure. This approach effectively models dike failure and calculates the resulting overflow.

Effects of Melatonin on the Growth and Diurnal Variation of Non-Specific Immunity, Antioxidant Capacity, Digestive Enzyme Activity, and Circadian Clock-Related Gene Expression in Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) - Jinglong Chen; Youhai Du; Mengyue Zhang; Jiahui Wang; Jianhua Ming; Xianping Shao; Aimin Wang; Hongyan Tian; Wuxiao Zhang; Silei Xia; Weigen Cheng; Jinlan Xu; et al. (Fishes, 2025)
This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary melatonin supplementation on growth and diurnal non-specific immunity, antioxidant capacity, digestive enzyme activities, and circadian clock-related gene expression in crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). A total of 500 healthy juvenile crayfish (6.68 ± 0.31 g) were randomly distributed into five groups with four replicates each and fed five different diets supplemented with melatonin at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg for 60 days. The results indicated that dietary supplementation of 50 mg/kg melatonin significantly increased the weight gain rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), and survival rate (SR) of juvenile Procambarus clarkii. However, no significant differences were observed in the hepatosomatic index (HSI), meat yield, and condition factor (p > 0.05). When the dietary melatonin level was 50 mg/kg, the activities of LZM and ALP in the hemolymph of Procambarus clarkii were higher than the levels at both 15:00 and 03:00, while the activities of AST and ALT remained at lower levels during these two time points. It also significantly upregulated the mRNA expression levels of Clock, Per1, Cry1, Tim1, and Tim2 in the hepatopancreas (p 0.05). At 15:00, supplementation with 50 mg/kg significantly upregulated Bmal1 mRNA expression (p 0.05). Thus, dietary supplementation of 50 mg/kg melatonin could promote the growth of juvenile Procambarus clarkii, enhance their non-specific immunity and antioxidant capacity during both day and night, increase the activities of digestive enzymes in the hepatopancreas and intestine, and regulate the expression of circadian clock-related genes.

Purpose Cervical total disc replacement (TDR) is commonly performed to treat degenerative cervical spondylosis, but it often faces challenges such as implant wear and migration. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel 3D-printed TDR featuring a titanium endplate and a lattice-structured poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) design. The primary objective was to replicate the natural motion of the cervical disc while addressing complications associated with conventional TDRs. Methods The novel implant was created using additive manufacturing techniques, incorporating three lattice-structured PEEK designs (Cross, Octet, and Ventiles) for the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus components. A finite element analysis was conducted to compare the biomechanical performance of the novel TDR with an intact cervical disc and a commercially available TDR (Baguera®C, Spineart SA, Geneva, Switzerland). Key parameters, including maximal von Mises stresses, range of motion, paths of the instantaneous center of rotation, and facet joint stresses, were evaluated under physiological loads (100 N follower load and 1.5 Nm pure moments). Results The novel 3D-printed TDR maintained structural integrity, with stresses remaining within the yield strength of PEEK. The biomechanical performance closely resembled that of an intact cervical disc, demonstrating similar ranges of motion, instantaneous center of rotation paths, and facet joint stress distributions. Conclusion The findings indicate that the innovative 3D-printed TDR may restore normal cervical spinal kinematics more effectively than existing commercial options, potentially reducing the risk of post-operative facet joint syndrome. Further experimental and clinical studies are recommended to validate these results.
