Ecosystem-inspired model and artificial intelligence predicts pollutant consumption capacity by coagulation in drinking water treatment - Si Li; Guocheng Zhu; Xiaoshang Li; Peng Wan; Fang Yuan; Shanshan Xu; Andrew S. Hursthouse (Environmental Chemistry Letters, 2023)
Conventional methods for water and wastewater treatment are energy-intensive, notably at the stage of coagulation–flocculation, calling for new strategies to predict pollutant reduction because the amount of energy consumed is related to how much of the pollutant is treated. Here we developed a model, named Bio-logic, inspired by ecosystems, where pollutants represent organisms, coagulants are food, and the wider environmental conditions are the living environment. Artificial intelligence was used to learn the biological behavior, which enabled an accurate prediction of the amount of pollutant reduction. Results show that pseudo-biological objects that have a strong affinity for biological food, such as turbidity, total phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen and the potassium permanganate index, induced a strong correlation, between measured pollutant consumption capacity and predicted values. For instance, R 2 correlation coefficients are 0.97 for turbidity and 0.92 for the potassium permanganate index in the laboratory; and 0.99 for turbidity, 0.90 for total phosphorus, 0.75 for ammonia nitrogen and 0.63 for the potassium permanganate index in water treatment plants. Overall, our findings demonstrate that artificial intelligence can use the water Bio-logic model to predict the pollutant consumption capacity.

SARS-COV-2 spike protein promotes RPE cell senescence via the ROS/P53/P21 pathway - Yuhang Zhang; Xuyan Peng; Mengjiao Xue; Jingjing Liu; Guohui Shang; Mingjun Jiang; Dandan Chen; Baixue Liu; Yuxuan Wang; Xiaolin Jia; Jianqing Xu; Fengyan Zhang; et al. (Biogerontology, 2023)
SARS-Cov-2 infection, which has caused the COVID-19 global pandemic, triggers cellular senescence. In this study, we investigate the role of the SARS-COV-2 spike protein (S-protein) in regulating the senescence of RPE cells. The results showed that administration or overexpression of S-protein in ARPE-19 decreased cell proliferation with cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. S-protein increased SA-β-Gal positive ARPE-19 cells with high expression of P53 and P21, senescence-associated inflammatory factors (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, ICAM, and VEGF), and ROS. Elimination of ROS by N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or knocking down p21 by siRNA diminished S-protein-induced ARPE cell senescence. Both administrated and overexpressed S-protein colocalize with the ER and upregulate ER-stress-associated BIP, CHOP, ATF3, and ATF6 expression. S-protein induced P65 protein nuclear translocation. Inhibition of NF-κB by bay-11-7082 reduced S-protein-mediated expression of senescence-associated factors. Moreover, the intravitreal injection of S-protein upregulates senescence-associated inflammatory factors in the zebrafish retina. In conclusions, the S-protein of SARS-Cov-2 induces cellular senescence of ARPE-19 cells in vitro and the expression of senescence-associated cytokines in zebrafish retina in vivo likely by activating ER stress, ROS, and NF-κb. These results may uncover a potential association between SARS-cov-2 infection and development of AMD.

Phylogenetic distance–decay patterns are not explained by local community assembly processes in freshwater lake microbial communities - Yian Gu; Zhidan Li; Peng Lei; Rui Wang; Hong Xu; Ville‐Petri Friman (Environmental Microbiology, 2023)
While water and sediment microbial communities exhibit pronounced spatio‐temporal patterns in freshwater lakes, the underlying drivers are yet poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the importance of spatial and temporal variation in abiotic environmental factors for bacterial and microeukaryotic community assembly and distance–decay relationships in water and sediment niches in Hongze Lake. By sampling across the whole lake during both Autumn and Spring sampling time points, we show that only bacterial sediment communities were governed by deterministic community assembly processes due to abiotic environmental drivers. Nevertheless, consistent distance–decay relationships were found with both bacterial and microeukaryotic communities, which were relatively stable with both sampling time points. Our results suggest that spatio‐temporal variation in environmental factors was important in explaining mainly bacterial community assembly in the sediment, possibly due lesser disturbance. However, clear distance–decay patterns emerged also when the community assembly was stochastic. Together, these results suggest that abiotic environmental factors do not clearly drive the spatial structuring of lake microbial communities, highlighting the need to understand the role of other potential drivers, such as spatial heterogeneity and biotic species interactions.

Characterization and Modeling of Doppler Spectra for Offshore UHF-Band Sea Clutter at Low Grazing Angles - Peng Zhao; Zhensen Wu; Yushi Zhang; Jinpeng Zhang; Xinyu Xu; Jiaji Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The Doppler spectra of sea echoes, which contain abundant information on floating scatterers, are important for exploring the characteristics of sea clutter. Using sea clutter data at low grazing angles observed by a coherent ultra-high frequency (UHF) radar located on Lingshan Island in the Yellow Sea, China, this study conducted detailed research on the characteristics of Doppler spectra with multiple ocean parameters, including grazing angle, significant wave height (SWH), and wave directions. The effect of sea echoes with different local normalized intensities on short-time Doppler spectra was further studied. The results indicate that with increasing sea states, the bimodal behavior of Doppler spectra, an evident phenomenon of Bragg scattering, gradually weakens. The frequency shifts of the mean spectra increased linearly with increasing SWH and wind speed, decreased linearly with increasing grazing angle, and decreased with the cosine value of the relative wave direction angles. In comparison, frequency shifts of the short-time spectra increased with increasing sea states and local echo intensities but fluctuated around a fixed value after reaching a certain extent. For spectral widths, the grazing angle is a significant influencing factor, with its broadening trend evident with a decrease in the grazing angle, whereas other ocean parameters, such as wave direction and wind direction, have no apparent influence. Considering the major contributions of the parameters, semi-empirical models for the mean spectral frequency shifts, mean spectral widths and short-time spectral frequency shifts were proposed. By verifying the measured data and predicted results, the models exhibited good prediction accuracy and applicability. The proposed inferences and models are helpful for understanding low grazing angle UHF-band sea clutter characteristics and improving target detection algorithms in offshore areas. These findings supplement previous studies on sea clutter Doppler spectra.

An Underwater Triboelectric Biomechanical Energy Harvester to Power the Electronic Tag of Marine Life - Bo Liu; Taili Du; Xiaoyan Xu; Jianhua Liu; Peng Zhu; Linan Guo; Yuanzheng Li; Tianrun Wang; Yongjiu Zou; Hao Wang; Peng Xu; Peiting Sun; et al. (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Implantable electronic tags are crucial for the conservation of marine biodiversity. However, the power supply associated with these tags remains a significant challenge. In this study, an underwater flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (UF-TENG) was proposed to harvest the biomechanical energy from the movements of marine life, ensuring a consistent power source for the implantable devices. The UF-TENG, which is watertight by the protection of a hydrophobic poly(tetrafluoroethylene) film, consists of high stretchable carbon black-silicone as electrode and silicone as a dielectric material. This innovative design enhances the UF-TENG’s adaptability and biocompatibility with marine organisms. The UF-TENG’s performance was rigorously assessed under various conditions. Experimental data highlight a peak output of 14 V, 0.43 μA and 38 nC, with a peak power of 2.9 μW from only one unit. Notably, its performance exhibited minimal degradation even after three weeks, showing its excellent robustness. Furthermore, the UF-TENG is promising in the self-powered sensing of the environmental parameter and the marine life movement. Finally, a continuous power supply of an underwater temperature is achieved by paralleling UF-TENGs. These findings indicate the broad potential of UF-TENG technology in powering implantable electronic tags.

Spatiotemporal Nutrient Patterns, Stoichiometry, and Eutrophication Assessment in the Tieshan Bay Coastal Water, China - Peng Zhang; Siying Wu; Menghan Xu; Xiaojun Luo; Xi Peng; Chaoxing Ren; Jibiao Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Land-source inputs into coastal water have increased remarkably in recent years, resulting in the deterioration of water quality, eutrophication, and algae blooms. However, we have limited understanding of spatiotemporal nutrient patterns, stoichiometry, and eutrophication assessment in Tieshan Bay coastal water at present. To investigate the rapid development of the coastal areas in Tieshan Bay in the South China Sea, nutrients and other physicochemical parameters were observed in Tieshan Bay during the normal season (April), wet season (July), and dry season (October) in 2021. The results showed that the average concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in Tieshan Bay are 0.071 ± 0.115 mg/L, 0.008 ± 0.013 mg/L, and 0.71 ± 0.219 mg/L, respectively. DIN/DIP ratio ranges from 9.1–69.3, with an average value of 19.9 ± 19.2, which exceeds the Redfield value, behaving P limitations. In addition, the mean eutrophication index (EI) was low in Tieshan Bay, with an average value of 0.5 ± 1.5. Moreover, the hotspot coastal water with high DIN, DIP, and COD concentrations was located in the upper half of Tieshan Bay in all seasons. In addition to the DIN, DIP, and COD contributions to EI, the average contribution rates of DIN, DIP, and COD are 26.6%, 8.8%, and 64.6%, respectively, which leads to the largest contribution of COD to EI. Furthermore, the average comprehensive index (CI) of organic pollution in Tieshan Bay surface seawater ranged from −1 to 5.6. The seawater near Hepu in S8 station has organic pollution in wet and dry seasons, and Tieshan Bay’s middle region also has slight organic pollution. Additionally, the DIN, DIP, and COD had significant relationships with salinity (p

However, the seasonal nutrients variation, eutrophication pattern, and Chlorophyll a (Chl- a ) response adjacent to Guangdong coastal water were still scarcely. In this study, to clarity the seasonal nutrients variation, eutrophication pattern, and Chl- a , response adjacent to coastal water, the spatiotemporal dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and phosphorus (DIP) patterns and Chl- a were explored by field observation using 52 stations in the coastal waters of Guangdong Province during the dry (April and May), wet (July and August) and normal (October and November) seasons in 2020. The results showed that the variability of Chl- a , DIN and DIP were significantly different in seasons (P<0.01), and the mean concentrations of Chl- a , DIN and DIP were 11.97 ± 28.12 μg/L, 25.84 ± 35.72 μmol/L and 0.59 ± 0.71 μmol/L.Among them, the mean value of Chl- a increased significantly from 9.99 ± 9.84 μg/L in the dry season to 18.28 ± 38.07 μg/L in the wet season, and then decreased significantly to 7.65 ± 27.64 μg/L in the normal season.The mean DIN value decreased significantly from 30.68 ± 43.58 μmol/L in the dry season to 21.91 ± 35.45 μmol/L in the wet season, and then increased to 24.91 ± 26.12 μmol/L in the normal season. the mean DIP value decreased from 0.58 ± 0.73 μmol/L in the dry season to 0.48 ± 0.65 μmol/L in the wet season and then increased significantly to 0.70 ± 0.73μmol/L in the normal season. In addition, the DIN and DIP concentrations at most monitoring stations met the Grade II national seawater quality standards, and only a few monitoring stations fail to meet the Grade IV national seawater quality standard. The DIN/DIP ratios ranged from 2.05 to 259.47, with an average of 43.77 ± 41.01, far exceeding the Redfield ratio, indicating the presence of P limitation in the nearshore waters of Guangdong Province. Besides, the EI values in the coastal waters of Guangdong Province are higher at 0.00 and 82.51, with an average of 4.16 ± 10.90. DIN and DIP were significantly and positively correlated with COD in each season (P<0.05). Moreover, DIN/DIP showed significantly positive correlations with Chl- a in all seasons (P<0.01), indicating that high Chl- a concentrations could be sustained by the nutrients supply in marine ecosystems. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the integrated management of land and sea and effectively mitigate regional estuarine and coastal water eutrophication and harmful algal blooms.

The application of mixed nitrogen increases photosynthetic and antioxidant capacity in rice (Oryza sativa) under heat stress at flowering stage - Cuicui You; Peng Xu; Yizhe He; Huayun Wang; Jian Ke; Haibing He; Liquan Wu (Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2023)
In recent years, heat stress has become a serious threat to rice production in China. It is well documented that nitrogen forms can regulate the heat tolerance of plants. However, its effect on the rice plants has not been described before. In this study, a pot experiment was performed with two restorer lines of indica rice, heat-tolerant 996 (HT 996) and heat-sensitive 343 (HS 343), to investigate whether nitrogen forms could mitigate heat stress at flowering stage and their physiological mechanism. The experiment received five treatments: (1) NN0: natural temperature level (32 ℃) with urea-N; (2) HN0: high temperature level (38 ℃) with urea-N; (3) HN1: high temperature level with NH 4 + -N; (4) HN2: high temperature level with mixed N [NH 4 + : NO 3 − at 50: 50 (w:w)]; and (5) HN3: high temperature level with NO 3 − -N, respectively. The results showed that heat stress reduced seed setting, photosynthetic characteristics, leaf nitrogen content and antioxidant enzyme activities of rice. However, the application of mixed N significantly increased the 1000-grain weight and seed setting rate under heat stress, thus increasing yield. The increased yield was mainly caused by higher leaf N content, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance, which led to a reduction in panicle and leaf temperatures. Meanwhile, the application of mixed N also improved the activities of antioxidant enzymes, and reduced the amount of reactive oxygen species, thereby mitigating the damage caused by exposure to high temperature. In conclusion, the application of mixed N can effectively alleviate the adverse consequences of high temperature, and could be further applied to provide strategies for the prevention and control of high temperature-prone areas during the rice flowering period.

Increasing heatwave with associated population and GDP exposure in North China - Guwei Zhang; Jiali Ma; Chunchun Meng; Jie Wang; Zhiqi Xu; Peng Gou (International Journal of Climatology, 2023)
Twenty‐seven CMIP6 models were grouped into three ensembles based on the simulated performance of heatwaves in North China during present‐day (1995–2014), and future changes in the duration and intensity of heatwaves were projected under SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5. The selected three ensembles showed consistent projections: both the duration and intensity of heatwaves would increase significantly, with the greatest under SSP5‐8.5. Besides, the heatwave growth in 2081–2100 would double in 2041–2060, except for SSP1‐2.6, where heatwaves would be similar in both periods. For the spatial distribution, the duration (intensity) would increase more in southern (western) parts of North China. Combining heatwaves with population and GDP, future heat exposures would concentrate on urban areas and the tertiary industry. For example, the 2041–2060 population exposure would reach 3.2–5.6 times the current level, with contributions from the urban population ranging from 55% to 60%. The GDP exposure would hit tens to hundreds of times the current level, with the tertiary sector replacing the secondary sector as the leading industry in North China, producing the major contribution and facing significant heat‐related risks. Overall, there will be significant heat‐related impacts under SSP5‐8.5, about 1.5–3.0 fold of those under SSP1‐2.6 and SSP2‐4.5. The urban and tertiary sectors would suffer greater risks relative to the rural and other industries. Our results reinforced the need to minimize global emissions and develop strategic plans to mitigate heat impacts under high‐emission scenarios, especially for urban areas and the tertiary industry, requiring great attention to climate adaptation.

Research on the Directional Characteristics of the Reflectance of Oil-Contaminated Sea Ice - Yulong Du; Bingxin Liu; Jiankang Xu; Ying Li; Peng Liu; Peng Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Remote sensing has been widely used for oil spill monitoring in open waters. However, research on remote sensing monitoring of oil spills in ice-infested sea waters (IISWs) is still scarce. The spectral characteristics of oil-contaminated sea ice (OCSI) and clean sea ice (CSI) and their differences are an important basis for oil spill detection using visible/near-infrared (VNIR) remote sensing. Such features and differences can change with the observation geometry, affecting the identification accuracy. In this study, we carried out multi-angle reflection observation experiments of oil-contaminated sea ice (OCSI) and proposed a kernel-driven bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model, Walthall–Ross thick-Litransit-Lisparse-r-RPV (WaRoLstRPV), which takes into account the strong forward-scattering characteristics of sea ice. We also analyzed the preferred observation geometry for oil spill monitoring in IISWs. In the validation using actual measured data, the proposed WaRoLstRPV performed well, with RMSEs of 0.0031 and 0.0026 for CSI and OCSI, respectively, outperforming the commonly used kernel-driven BRDF models, Ross thick-Li sparse (R-LiSpr), QU-Roujean (Qu-R), QU-Lisparse R-r-RPV (Qu-LiSpr-RrRPV), and Walthall (Wa). The observation geometry with a zenith angle around 50° and relative azimuth ranging from 250° to 290° is preferred for oil spill detection in IISWs.

Intestine epithelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles alleviate inflammation induced by Clostridioides difficile TcdB through the activity of TGF-β1 - Shuangshuang Wan; Guangzhong Song; Hui Hu; Yaqing Xu; Peng Zeng; Shan Lin; Jun Yang; Jinqin Jiang; Xiaojun Song; Yongneng Luo; Dazhi Jin (Molecular & Cellular Toxicology, 2023)
Background Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has been primarily associated with the toxin B (TcdB), one of the three known protein toxins secreted by C. difficile , which can activate the intestinal immune system and lead to pathological damage. Even though the biological functions of intestine epithelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles (I-Evs) have been well documented, the role of I-Evs in the process of CDI is still unknown. Objectives The protective effect of I-Evs against C. difficile TcdB was investigated both in cultured murine colon carcinoma MC38 cells and a mouse model used in this study. Results Mouse I-Evs with mean diameter ranging from 100 to 200 nm and a density of 1.09–1.17 g/mL were obtained and confirmed containing the Ev-associated specific surface markers CD63 and TSG101 as well as high level of TGF-β1. In MC38 cells, I-Evs were able to decrease the gene expression of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-22 induced by C. difficile TcdB, but to increase both the gene expression and protein levels of TGF-β1. I-Evs treatment via intraperitoneal administration alleviates C. difficile TcdB-induced local colon inflammation in mice and increased their survival rate from 50% up to 80%. Furthermore, I-Evs induced an increase in the proportion of CD4 + Foxp3 + Tregs in vitro and in vivo through a TGF-β1-dependent mechanism by activating the TGF-β1 pathway and prompting phosphorylation of the downstream proteins Smad 2/3. Conclusion For the first time, our study demonstrated that I-Evs originated from intestine epithelial cells can alleviate inflammation induced by C. difficile TcdB both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, I-Evs might be potentially a novel endogenous candidate for effective treatment of CDI.

Overexpression of the Persimmon Abscisic Acid DkUGT3 Gene Alters Plant/Fruit Development in Transgenic Tomato - Juan Wang; Yandan Xu; Zhaonan Yin; Liangyu Peng; Qian Li; Ping Leng (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2023)
Persimmon ( Diospyros kaki Thunb.) contains numerous uridine diphosphate glucosyltransferases (UGT), and their roles in fruit development and quality formation have not been well studied because of limited genetic information. This study investigated a persimmon DkUGT3 which is highly expressed in young fruits and leaves during development. DkUGT3 can catalyze ABA glycosylation to form ABA-GE, thereby reducing free ABA. Tomato with overexpressed (OE) DkUGT3 significantly induces pale green color phenotypes in both transgenic young plants and fruits. DkUGT3 -OE significantly weakens the tomato ABA signaling which affects the expressions of ABA-inducible transcriptional factors (TFs), such as GLK1 and GLK2 and their downstream target genes involved in chlorophyll synthesis, chloroplast development, sugar metabolism and transport, and photosynthesis, thereby impeding leaf and fruit development and quality. Conversely, DkUGT3 -RNAi-treatment recovered the OE tomato fruits from yellowing phenotype to green color. This study found that chlorophyll accumulations and ABA level were increased by DkUGT3 -RNAi-treatment in young persimmon leaves. These results demonstrate that DkUGT3 plays crucial roles in ABA-mediated leaf and fruit development. This study provides new evidence for the regulation of ABA in early development.

Hippocampal ferroptosis is involved in learning and memory impairment in rats induced by microwave and electromagnetic pulse combined exposure - Yunfei Lai; Haoyu Wang; Xinping Xu; Ji Dong; Yiwei Song; Haixia Zhao; You Wu; Li Zhao; Hui Wang; Jing Zhang; Binwei Yao; Yong Zou; et al. (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023)
Microwave (MW) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) are considered environmental pollutants, both of which can induce learning and memory impairments. However, the bioeffects of combined exposure to MW and EMP have never been explored. This paper aimed to investigate the effects of combined exposure to MW and EMP on the learning and memory of rats as well as its association with ferroptosis in the hippocampus. In this study, rats were exposed to EMP, MW, or EMP and MW combined radiation. After exposure, impairment of learning and memory, alterations in brain electrophysiological activity, and damage to hippocampal neurons were observed in rats. Moreover, we also found alterations in ferroptosis hallmarks, including increased levels of iron, lipid peroxidation, and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) mRNA, as well as downregulation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) protein in the rat hippocampus after exposure. Our results suggested that either single or combined exposure to MW and EMP radiation could impair learning and memory and damage hippocampal neurons in rats. Moreover, the adverse effects caused by the combined exposure were more severe than the single exposures, which might be due to cumulative effects rather than synergistic effects. Furthermore, ferroptosis in the hippocampus might be a common underlying mechanism of learning and memory impairment induced by both single and combined MW and EMP exposure.
