Ndufa4 Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Neurons via miR-145a-5p/Homer1/Ccnd2 - Fang Fu; Chen Chen; Kun Du; Lu-shan Li; Ru Li; Ting-ying Lei; Qiong Deng; Dan Wang; Qiu-xia Yu; Xin Yang; Jin Han; Min Pan; et al. (Molecular Neurobiology, 2023)
The Dandy–Walker malformation (DWM) is characterized by neuron dysregulation in embryonic development; however, the regulatory mechanisms associated with it are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of NADH dehydrogenase 1 alpha subcomplex 4 (NDUFA4) in regulating downstream signaling cascades and neuronal proliferation and apoptosis. Ndufa4 overexpression promoted the proliferation of neurons and inhibited their apoptosis in vitro, which underwent reverse regulation by the Ndufa4 short hairpin RNAs. Ndufa4 -knockout (KO) mice showed abnormal histological alterations in the brain tissue, in addition to impaired spatial learning capacity and exploratory activity. Ndufa4 depletion altered the microRNA expressional profiles of the cerebellum: Ndufa4 inhibited miR-145a-5p expression both in the cerebellum and neurons. miR-145a-5p inhibited the proliferation of neurons and promoted their apoptosis. Ndufa4 promoted and miR-145a-5p inhibited the expression of human homer protein homolog 1 and cyclin D2 in neurons. Thus, Ndufa4 promotes the proliferation of neurons and inhibits their apoptosis by inhibiting miR-145a-5p, which directly targets and inhibits the untranslated regions of Homer1 and Ccnd2 expression.

Experimental Study on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a Submerged Floating Tunnel under Freak Waves (I: Time-Domain Study) - Wenbo Pan; Meng He; Cheng Cui (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The dynamic response characteristics of a two-dimensional submerged floating tunnel (SFT) under random and freak waves were investigated in the present study. The results demonstrate that (1) the dynamic responses of the SFT under the freak wave are significantly larger than those under the largest wave in the wave train excluding the freak wave, particularly for the motion response. The maximum values of the motion responses induced by the freak wave were several times larger than those induced by the largest wave in the wave train excluding the freak wave, far exceeding the proportion of the corresponding wave height. (2) The freak wave parameter α1 has a significant effect on the amplification coefficients of surge, heave and pitch; all increase nonlinearly as α1 increases. Within α1 = 1.90~2.59, the amplification coefficients of the surge, heave and pitch vary in the ranges of 1.91~6.46, 1.53~3.87 and 1.73~5.32, respectively. (3) Amplification coefficients of tension increase almost linearly as α1 increases. Additionally, the amplification effect of the freak wave on the mooring tension is much smaller than that on motion responses. Within α1 = 1.90~2.59, the amplification coefficients of tension vary from 1.15 to 1.35. (4) Generalised amplification coefficients of motion responses increase as α1 increases and are all greater than 1.0, indicating that growth rates for motion responses under the freak wave exceed the growth rates for maximum wave height. Moreover, motion responses show a significantly nonlinear growth as maximum wave height increases. The generalised amplification coefficients of the mooring tension decrease as α1 increases, and are all less than 1.0, indicating that the dynamic amplification effect of the freak wave on the mooring tension is much smaller than that on motions. On the other hand, growth rates of the mooring tension under freak waves are smaller than the linear growth rate of the height of freak waves.

Experimental Study of the Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a Submerged Floating Tunnel under Freak Wave (II: Time-Frequency Domain Study) - Wenbo Pan; Cheng Cui; Meng He (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
A freak wave is a spike in a random wave series and hence the local characteristics in the time-domain are of key importance. When freak waves act on moored floating structures, the dynamic responses of the structures in the time and frequency domains change interdependently in a short period of time. It is difficult to comprehensively and accurately describe this physical process using a single-dimensional analysis method, such as time-domain statistical analysis or frequency-domain spectral analysis. The wavelet analysis method, which can simultaneously provide the time-domain and frequency-domain joint information of the physical process, is used to discuss the time-frequency joint variation characteristics of the dynamic responses of a two-dimensional submerged floating tunnel under a freak wave. The time-frequency characteristics of the dynamic responses induced by the freak wave and the differences from the action under random waves are investigated, with a particular emphasis on the ‘convex variation’ characteristics of the dynamic responses under a freak wave. The results show that: (1) The wavelet analysis method can effectively describe the basic characteristics of the dynamic responses of the SFT under a freak wave and clearly distinguish the differences in dynamic responses under freak and random waves. (2) Freak waves have dynamic amplification effects, which are related to the freak wave parameter α1, on a two-dimensional SFT. Following the action of freak waves on a two-dimensional SFT, significant energy concentration occurs in the time-frequency spectrum of the dynamic response in a certain time and frequency range. The degree of energy concentration increases nonlinearly with an increase in α1, and a certain high-frequency energy appears in the time-frequency spectrum of the motion response. The maximum values of the time-frequency spectra of the dynamic responses under a freak wave are much larger than those under a random wave with the identical wave spectrum. (3) Following the action of a freak wave on a two-dimensional SFT, the generalised energy spectra of surge, heave, pitch, and mooring tensions have convex peak values, which occur simultaneous with the occurrence of the freak wave, and the convex parts significantly increase as α1. (4) The time lengths of the influence of a freak wave on the dynamic responses exceeded the freak wave period. With an increase in α1, the time ranges of the large values of the time-frequency spectra of surge, heave, pitch, and mooring tensions increase nearly linearly.

Tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)-derived IL-6 is involved in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) progression and chemoresistance via the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the tumor microenvironment. This study aimed to identify natural compounds that suppress cell–cell interactions between TAMs and SCLC cells by inhibiting STAT3 activation. We used a library of natural compounds to identify candidate agents possessing anti-SCLC effects by inhibiting macrophage-induced tumor proliferation. SBC-3 and SBC-5, human SCLC cell lines, were used for in vitro experiments. Furthermore, we assessed the efficacy of these candidate agents in a murine xenograft model of human SCLC. Among the natural compounds examined, onionin A (ONA) inhibited IL-6-induced STAT3 activation and SCLC cell proliferation. ONA also reduced the secretion of IL-6 from macrophages and interfered with the direct effect of cell–cell interactions between macrophages and SCLC cells. Furthermore, ONA administration suppressed tumor progression in a tumor-bearing mouse model. ONA was identified as the most useful candidate for targeting cell–cell interactions between cancer cells and TAMs for anti-SCLC therapy.

A global gridded ocean salinity dataset with 0.5° horizontal resolution since 1960 for the upper 2000 m - Guancheng Li; Lijing Cheng; Yuying Pan; Gongjie Wang; Hailong Liu; Jiang Zhu; Bin Zhang; Huanping Ren; Xutao Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
A gridded salinity dataset with high resolution is essential for investigating global ocean salinity variability and understanding its role in climate and the ocean ecosystem. In this study, a new version of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics gridded salinity dataset with a higher resolution (0.5° by 0.5°) is provided by using a revised ensemble optimal interpolation scheme with a dynamic ensemble. The performance of this dataset is evaluated using “subsample test” and the high-resolution satellite-based data. Compared with the previous 1° by 1° resolution IAP product, the new dataset is more capable of representing regional salinity changes with the meso-scale and small-scale signals (i.e., in the coastal and boundary currents regions), meanwhile, maintains the large-scale structure and variability. Therefore, the new dataset complements the previous data product. Besides, the new dataset is compared with in situ observations and several international salinity products for the salinity multiscale variabilities and patterns. The comparison shows the smaller magnitude of mean difference and Root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) in basin scale for the new dataset, some differences in strength and fine structure of the “fresh gets fresher, salty gets saltier” surface and subsurface salinity pattern amplification trends from 1980 to 2017, a broad similarity for the salinity changes associated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and a consistent salinity dipole mode in the tropical Indian Ocean (S-IOD). These results support the future use of gridded salinity data.

Recent Developments in Additive-Manufactured Intermetallic Compounds for Bio-Implant Applications - Po-Yuan Yeh; Jacob C. Huang; Jason S. C. Jang; Cheng-Tang Pan; Chung-Hwan Chen; Che-Hsin Lin (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2022)
Purpose This paper reviews the recent developments of two newly developed intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of metallic glasses (MGs) and high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as potential implantable biomaterials. Methods The paper commences by summarizing the fundamental properties of recently developed MGs and high-entropy alloys (HEAs). A systematic review is presented of the recent literature about the use of AM technology in fabricating MG and HEA components for biological implant applications. Results The high strength, low Young’s modulus, and excellent corrosion resistance make these IMCs good candidates as bio-implantable materials. Recent studies have shown that additive manufacturing (AM) techniques provide an advantageous route for the preparation of glassy metallic components due to their intrinsically rapid cooling rates and ability to fabricate parts with virtually no size or complexity constraints. A practical example is conducted by AM producing a porous gradient Ti-based MG spinal cage. The produced MG powders and the in vivo test results on an 18 M-old Lanyu pig confirm the feasibility of the AM technique for producing implantable IMC-based prosthesis. Conclusion The non-crystalline structure of MGs alloy and the random crystalline composition of HEAs provide unique material properties that will substantially impact the development of future implantable prostheses.

Slope aspect determines the abundance and composition of nitrogen‐cycling microbial communities in an alpine ecosystem - Jianbin Pan; Yongjun Liu; Yue Yang; Zhongxia Cheng; Xiaomei Lan; Weigang Hu; Guoxi Shi; Qi Zhang; Huyuan Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Slope aspect is an important topographic feature that can influence local environmental conditions. While strong effects of slope aspect on aboveground and belowground communities have been frequently elucidated, how slope aspect affects soil nitrogen (N) cycling microbes remains unclear. Here, we characterized the communities of soil N‐cycling microbes on south‐ and north‐facing slopes in an alpine ecosystem, by quantifying (qPCR) and high‐throughput sequencing six genes involved in N‐fixation ( nifH ), nitrification (archaeal and bacterial amoA ) and denitrification ( nirK , nirS and nosZ ). We found that the abundance, diversity and community composition of major N‐cycling microbes differed dramatically between the two slope aspects, and these variances could be well explained by the aspect‐driven differences in environmental conditions, especially soil temperature and moisture. The response patterns of different N‐cycling groups to slope aspect were much inconsistent, especially for those with similar functions (i.e. ammonia‐oxidizing archaea vs. bacteria, nirK ‐ vs. nirS ‐reducers), indicating strong niche differentiation between these counterparts. We also observed strong preferences and distinct co‐occurrence patterns of N‐cycling microbial taxa for the two slope aspects. These findings highlight the importance of slope aspect in determining the abundance, species distribution and community structure of N‐cycling microbes, and consequently influencing N‐cycling processes and ecosystem functioning.

Understanding the social impacts of enforcement activities on illegal wildlife trade in China - Sifan Hu; Yu Cheng; Rong Pan; Fasheng Zou; Tien Ming Lee (Ambio, 2022)
Illegal wildlife trade enforcement is a cornerstone conservation strategy worldwide, yet we have a limited understanding on its social impacts. Using Chinese online wildlife seizure news (2003–2018), we evaluated the interactions among enforcement operations, news frequency, and social engagement (i.e., whistle-blowing) frequency. Our results showed that intensive enforcement operations, which commenced after 2012, have social impacts by increasing the frequency of all seizure news significantly by 28% [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 5%, 51%] and those via whistle-blowing by 24% [95% CI: 2%, 45%], when compared to counterfactual models where possible confounding factors were accounted for. Furthermore, we revealed the potential interaction between enforcement seizure news with and without social engagement, and the consequential social feedback process. Of the species identified from ‘whistle-blowing’ news, up to 28% are considered as high conservation priorities. Overall, we expanded our understanding of the enforcement impacts to social dimensions, which could contribute to improving the cost-effectiveness of such conservation efforts.

Effect of starvation and refeeding on reactive oxygen species, autophagy and oxidative stress in Chinese perch ( Siniperca chuatsi ) muscle growth - Ping Wu; Lin Chen; Jia Cheng; Yaxiong Pan; Xin Zhu; Wuying Chu; Jianshe Zhang (Journal of Fish Biology, 2022)
In skeletal muscle, autophagy regulates the development and growth of muscle fibres and maintains the normal muscle metabolism. Under starvation and refeeding conditions, the effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels on skeletal muscle autophagy is still unclear, although the excessive accumulation of ROS has been shown to increase autophagy in cells. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of starvation and diet after starvation on the autophagy of adult Chinese perch muscle, and to determine the level of ROS in the muscle. We performed zero (Normal control), three and seven starvation treatments on adult Chinese perch, and returned to normal feeding for 3 days after starvation for 7 days. In the muscles of the adult Chinese perch muscle after 3 days of starvation, the autophagy marker protein LC3 and the number of autophagosomes remained basically the same as in the normal feeding situation. However, on starvation for 7 days, the mitochondrial autophagy was sensitive and the number of autophagosomes increased, but the antioxidant‐related molecules (malondialdehyde, catalase, glutathione S‐transferase, glutathione and anti‐superoxide anion) decreased and the accumulation of ROS was obvious. In addition, the extended starvation time also increased the level of LC3 protein. However, by refeeding after starvation this nutritional stress resulted in a decrease in ROS levels and a partial restoration of antioxidant enzyme activity. Our data show that in the adult Chinese perch muscle, starvation could reduce the antioxidant activity through the accumulation of ROS, and that the number of autophagosomes continues to increase. Refeeding after starvation could effectively compensate for the level of ROS, and restore the mRNA abundance of antioxidant genes and the activity of antioxidant enzymes to reduce autophagy and improve feed efficiency. Further research should optimize starvation conditions to reduce autophagy in muscles and maintain normal muscle metabolism.

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.

Geographic distance, sedimentation, and substrate shape cryptic crustose coralline algal assemblages in the world’s largest subtropical intertidal algal reef - Shing Hei Zhan; Ling Chen; Chen‐Pan Liao; Wun‐Ruei Chang; Cheng‐Chin Li; Guang‐You Tang; Ching‐Yu Liou; Wei‐Lung Wang; Shih‐Wei Wang; Shao‐Lun Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
Algal reefs, concreted by crustose coralline algae (CCA), are the main biotic reefs in temperate waters but rare in the subtropics and tropics. The world's largest known intertidal algal reef in the subtropics is the Taoyuan Algal Reef (TAR) located in the northwestern coast of Taiwan. The biodiversity and ecology of the TAR are scarcely explored, and now the reef is imperiled by industrialization. Here, we document cryptic species of CCA in Taiwan, particularly the TAR, by sequencing the psb A genes of over 1800 specimens collected across Taiwan. We also examine the ecological background of the TAR by surveying its benthic composition and measuring its environmental parameters. Our data reveal that the TAR harbours a high diversity of cryptic CCA species (27 molecular operational taxonomic units, or mOTUs), many of which are potentially new to science (18 mOTUs) and/or endemic to the TAR (9 mOTUs). Comparing the CCA species inventory of the TAR with the rest of Taiwan shows that the TAR represents a unique hotspot of CCA taxa in the waters of Taiwan. Our analyses show that variation in the CCA assemblages in the TAR is associated with geographic distance, sedimentation, and substrate type (for example, reef vs. hermit crab shell), suggesting that dispersal limitation and contemporary environmental selection shape the CCA assemblages in the TAR. The data from this study can inform the monitoring of human impacts on the health of the TAR and contribute to our understanding of the ecological processes underlying algal reef development.

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.

Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW. Elevated expression of PDXDC1 is related to higher BMD and lower ratio n-6/n-3 PUFA indicating a bone protective effect of PDXDC1.

Climatological seasonal variation of the upper ocean salinity - Yuanxin Liu; Lijing Cheng; Yuying Pan; John Abraham; Bin Zhang; Jiang Zhu; Junqiang Song (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Salinity plays a vital role in regulating ocean density, stratification and circulation, and is an indicator of the coupling between the ocean, atmosphere and land through the water cycle. This study provides a spatially complete look of the seasonal variation of the upper 2,000 m ocean salinity from regional to global scales, and assesses the robustness of the signals. The potential drivers of this variation are also investigated by comparing salinity changes with surface precipitation and evaporation. New observations show a robust seasonal variation in global ocean salinity from the surface down to 350 m depth that exceeds the observational uncertainty, and in some regions, the variation can be detected at 2,000 m. Regions with a seasonal variation of sea surface salinity (SSS) larger than 0.6 g⋅kg −1 include the Northwest Pacific, Northwest Atlantic, tropical oceans and the northeast Indian Ocean. From 5°N to 30°N (20°N to 5°N), the sea surface is fresher (saltier) in the first half of the year and gets saltier (fresher) in the second half of the year, because of surface precipitation and evaporation changes associated with monsoons and the seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation. In the middle and high latitudes, the evaporation‐minus‐precipitation is mismatched with local salinity changes, suggesting that river runoff, sea ice change and ocean dynamics have a controlling role. On zonal average, the subsurface (50–160 m) generally shows salinity anomalies with an opposite sign to those of the near surface regions (0–50 m), indicating the importance of ocean dynamics. There are notable differences in global SSS variation between Argo‐only products and datasets that merge all observations, revealing the insufficiency of Argo network in shallow oceans and polar regions. To overcome this, an integrated ocean observational network is strongly recommended.

Effects of Antrodia camphorata-Supplemented Diets on the Non-Specific Immune Responses and Disease Resistance of Orange-Spotted Grouper (Epinephelus coioides) against Vibrio alginolyticus and Streptococcus iniae - Hsiang-Chieh Chuang; Yin-Ze Shi; Chiu-Min Cheng; Chieh-Yu Pan; Ann-Chang Cheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In Taiwan, the mushroom Antrodia camphorata (AC) is used for medicinal purposes, including cancer prevention and treatment. This study aimed to investigate the effect of AC-supplemented diets on the innate immunity and disease resistance of the orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides against two bacterial infections—Vibrio alginolyticus and Streptococcus iniae. Orange-spotted groupers were fed AC-supplemented diets at 0 (control), 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 g kg−1 for 28 days and examined for innate immune responses and survival rates against V. alginolyticus and S. iniae. The results showed that the innate cellular and humoral immune parameters, including respiratory burst, phagocytic activity, and lysozyme activity of leukocytes, along with serum alternative complement activity (ACH50) and superoxide dismutase activity, as well as interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-6, were all significantly increased in groupers fed AC-supplemented diets. Groupers fed diets containing AC at doses higher than 3.0 g kg−1 had better survival rates than the control group 3–18 days after V. alginolyticus or S. iniae challenge. The enhanced disease resistance may be attributable to AC-induced innate immunity, suggesting that utilizing AC as a dietary supplement at 3.0 g kg−1 may enhance the disease resistance of orange-spotted groupers against Vibrio or Streptococcus infection.

Asymmetrical Oscillating Morphology Hydrodynamic Performance of a Novel Bionic Pectoral Fin - Cheng Xing; Yong Cao; Yonghui Cao; Guang Pan; Qiaogao Huang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
This research proposes a novel bionic pectoral fin and experimentally studied the effects of the oscillation parameters on the hydrodynamic performance of a bionic experimental prototype. Inspired by manta rays, the bionic pectoral fin was simplified and modeled based on the natural pectoral fin skeleton structure and oscillation morphology of this underwater creature. A dual-degree-of-freedom bionic pectoral fin was designed. The active spatial motion was realized by the space six-link mechanism driven by two motors, and the passive deformation was achieved by carbon fiber. The motion analysis of the bionic pectoral fin proves that the pectoral fin can realize an “8”-shaped spatial trajectory. An experimental prototype was developed accordingly. The experimental prototype could flap between 0.1 Hz and 0.6 Hz and produce a maximum thrust of 20 N. The hydrodynamic performance under different oscillation parameters was studied experimentally in a water pool. The experimental results indicate that the hydrodynamic performance of the pectoral fin oscillation is closely related to the motion equation parameters including the amplitude, frequency, phase difference, and initial bias. In addition to considering the impact of parameters on thrust and lift, the influences of asymmetrical oscillation on the position of the equivalent point were also studied. The results show that the pectoral fin proposed in this research exhibited the expected spatial deformation and outstanding hydrodynamic performance.

Climate change may interact with nitrogen fertilizer management leading to different ammonia loss in China’s croplands - Xiangrui Xu; Xiao Ouyang; Yining Gu; Kun Cheng; Pete Smith; Jianfei Sun; Yunpeng Li; Genxing Pan (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Despite research into the response of ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization in farmland to various meteorological factors, the potential impact of future climate change on NH 3 volatilization is not fully understood. Based on a database consisting of 1063 observations across China, nonlinear NH 3 models considering crop type, meteorological, soil and management variables were established via four machine learning methods, including support vector machine, multi‐layer perceptron, gradient boosting machine and random forest (RF). The RF model had the highest R 2 of 0.76 and the lowest RMSE of 0.82 kg NH 3 ‐N ha − 1 , showing the best simulation capability. Results of model importance indicated that NH 3 volatilization was mainly controlled by total input of N fertilizer, followed by meteorological factors, human managements and soil characteristics. The NH 3 emissions of China's cereal production (paddy rice, wheat and maize) in 2018 was estimated to be 3.3 Mt NH 3 ‐N. By 2050, NH 3 volatilization will increase by 23.1−32.0% under different climate change scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathways, RCPs), and climate change will have the greatest impact on NH 3 volatilization in the Yangtze river agro‐region of China due to high warming effects. However, the potential increase in NH 3 volatilization under future climate change can be mitigated by 26.1−47.5% through various N fertilizer management optimization options.

Vertical Fine-Scale Distribution of Calanus sinicus in the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass During the Over-Summering Process - Jun Pan; Fangping Cheng; Fei Yu; Yongqiang Shi; Fan Sun; Guangcheng Si; Chuanjie Wei; Xinyuan Diao; Yongfang Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Calanus sinicus , a temperate copepod with a lethal temperature >27°C, is one of the key species in Chinese coastal marine ecosystems. The C. sinicus population increases in spring and declines in early summer annually due to increasing water temperature. Numerous C. sinicus individuals then congregate in the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM) and remain under the thermocline from early summer to early autumn. Development and reproduction is halted in this cold and foodless bottom water and they avoid ascending to the hot surface water, which is regarded as an over-summering strategy. Based on discrete water sampling approaches, previous studies demonstrated that higher chlorophyll a (Chl a) levels appeared in the mixed hot surface water layer; however, the subsurface chlorophyll a maximum layer (SCML) has seldom been described. In the present study, various probes and a visual plankton recorder (VPR) were used to determine the fine vertical distributions of environmental factors and C. sinicus . VPR observations showed the ecological responses in fine scale and indicated that few C. sinicus individuals ascend at night, the main population preferred to remain below the SCML all day long. The results demonstrated that a constant thin SCML existed in the YSCWM area, and that the SCML location coincided with or was beneath the thermocline and halocline layers, where the temperature was suitable for C. sinicus . The relationship between abundance and Chl a, showed the diel vertical migration trend of C. sinicus to feed at night in the YSCWM area. In addition to temperature as a main influencing factor, dissolved oxygen concentrations and column depth were also influencing factors. Therefore, in addition to avoiding high surface temperature, energy supplement may be an important driving force confining the diel vertical migration of C. sinicus in the Yellow Sea in summer.

Could biochar amendment be a tool to improve soil availability and plant uptake of phosphorus? A meta-analysis of published experiments - Fitsum Tesfaye; Xiaoyu Liu; Jufeng Zheng; Kun Cheng; Rongjun Bian; Xuhui Zhang; Lianqing Li; Marios Drosos; Stephen Joseph; Genxing Pan (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021)
As one of the most important nutrients for plant growth, phosphorus was often poorly available in soil. While biochar addition induced improvement of soil structure, nutrient and water retention as well as microbial activity had been well known, and the effect of biochar soil amendment (BSA) on soil phosphorus availability and plant P uptake had been not yet quantitatively assessed. In a review study, data were retrieved from 354 peer-reviewed research articles on soil available P content and P uptake under BSA published by February 2019. Then a database was established of 516 data pairs from 86 studies with and without BSA in agricultural soils. Subsequently, the effect size of biochar application was quantified relative to no application and assessed in terms of biochar conditions, soil conditions, as well as experiment conditions. In grand mean, there was a significant and great effect of BSA on soil available P and plant P uptake by 65% and 55%, respectively. The effects were generally significant under manure biochar, biochar pyrolyzed under 300 °C, soil pH <5 and fine-textured soil, and soils that are very low in available P. Being significantly correlated to soil P availability ( R 2 =0.29), plant P uptake was mostly enhanced with vegetable crops of high biomass yield. Overall, biochar amendment at a dosage up to 10 t ha −1 could be a tool to enhance soil availability and plant uptake of phosphorus, particularly in acid, heavy textured P-poor soils.

Application of the Machine Learning LightGBM Model to the Prediction of the Water Levels of the Lower Columbia River - Min Gan; Shunqi Pan; Yongping Chen; Chen Cheng; Haidong Pan; Xian Zhu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Due to the strong nonlinear interaction with river discharge, tides in estuaries are characterised as nonstationary and their mechanisms are yet to be fully understood. It remains highly challenging to accurately predict estuarine water levels. Machine learning methods, which offer a unique ability to simulate the unknown relationships between variables, have been increasingly used in a large number of research areas. This study applies the LightGBM model to predicting the water levels along the lower reach of the Columbia River. The model inputs consist of the discharges from two upstream rivers (Columbia and Willamette Rivers) and the tide characteristics, including the tide range at the estuary mouth (Astoria) and tide constituents. The model is optimized with the selected parameters. The results show that the LightGBM model can achieve high prediction accuracy, with the root-mean-square-error values of water level being reduced to 0.14 m and the correlation coefficient and skill score being in the ranges of 0.975–0.987 and 0.941–0.972, respectively, which are statistically better than those obtained from physics-based models such as the nonstationary tidal harmonic analysis model (NS_TIDE). The importance of subtide constituents in interacting with the river discharge in the estuary is clearly revealed from the model results.

Temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of irrigation water requirement for main crops in the plain area of Hebei Province* - Minghan Cheng; Xiyun Jiao; Weihua Guo; Shufang Wang; Yanchuan Pan; Hang Zhang; Honghui Sang (Irrigation and Drainage, 2020)
The spatial and temporal distribution of agricultural water requirement can provide a scientific basis for regional drought and disaster mitigation management and optimal allocation of irrigation water resources. The irrigation water requirement and irrigation water requirement index of the Hebei Plain during 57 years were calculated by a long series of data of 22 weather stations from 1961 to 2017, and the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics were also analysed. The results show that (a) in this long‐term series, the irrigation water requirement was between 164 and 759 mm, and the irrigation water requirement index was between 0.33 and 0.78, which fluctuated between 1961 and 2017, and in 1977 began to show a downward trend; (b) irrigation water requirement and irrigation water requirement index in the Hebei Plain area had obvious seasonal changes during the year. Irrigation water requirement and irrigation water requirement index were the largest in April, the reasons for this phenomenon being high evapotranspiration and low effective precipitation; (c) the spatial distribution of irrigation water requirement and irrigation water requirement index in the Hebei Plain area are significantly different, both of which are larger in the central region and smaller in the Northeast and Southwest regions.

Plastic pollution in croplands threatens long‐term food security - Dan Zhang; Ee Ling Ng; Wanli Hu; Hongyuan Wang; Pablo Galaviz; Hude Yang; Wentao Sun; Chongxiao Li; Xingwang Ma; Bin Fu; Peiyi Zhao; Fulin Zhang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Plastic pollution is a global concern given its prevalence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Studies have been conducted on the distribution and impact of plastic pollution in marine ecosystems, but little is known on terrestrial ecosystems. Plastic mulch has been widely used to increase crop yields worldwide, yet the impact of plastic residues in cropland soils to soil health and crop production in the long term remained unclear. In this paper, using a global meta‐analysis, we found that the use of plastic mulch can indeed increase crop yields on average by 25%–42% in the immediate season due to the increase of soil temperature (+8%) and moisture (+17%). However, the unabated accumulation of film residues in the field negatively impacts its physicochemical properties linked to healthy soil and threatens food production in the long term. It has multiple negative impacts on plant growth including crop yield (at the mean rate of −3% for every additional 100 kg/ha of film residue), plant height (−2%) and root weight (−5%), and soil properties including soil water evaporation capacity (−2%), soil water infiltration rate (−8%), soil organic matter (−0.8%) and soil available phosphorus (−5%) based on meta‐regression. Using a nationwide field survey of China, the largest user of plastic mulch worldwide, we found that plastic residue accumulation in cropland soils has reached 550,800 tonnes, with an estimated 6%–10% reduction in cotton yield in some polluted sites based on current level of plastic residue content. Immediate actions should be taken to ensure the recovery of plastic film mulch and limit further increase in film residue loading to maintain the sustainability of these croplands.

Effect of miR-27b-5p on apoptosis of human vascular endothelial cells induced by simulated microgravity - Yi-Kai Pan; Cheng-Fei Li; Yuan Gao; Yong-Chun Wang; Xi-Qing Sun (Apoptosis, 2020)
Weightlessness-induced cardiovascular dysfunction can lead to physiological and pathological consequences. It has been shown that spaceflight or simulated microgravity can alter expression profiles of some microRNAs (miRNAs). Here, we attempt to identify the role of miRNAs in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) apoptosis under simulated microgravity. RNA-sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assays were used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in HUVECs under simulated microgravity. Then we obtained the target genes of these miRNAs through target analysis software. Moreover, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed. The effects of these miRNAs on HUVECs apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometry, Western blot and Hoechst staining. Furthermore, we obtained the target gene of miR-27b-5p by luciferase assay, qRT-PCR and Western blot. Finally, we investigated the relationship between this target gene and miR-27b-5p in HUVECs apoptosis under normal gravity or simulated microgravity. We found 29 differentially expressed miRNAs in HUVECs under simulated microgravity. Of them, the expressions of 3 miRNAs were validated by qRT-PCR. We demonstrated that miR-27b-5p affected HUVECs apoptosis by inhibiting zinc fingers and homeoboxes 1 (ZHX1). Our results reported here demonstrate for the first time that simulated microgravity can alter the expression of some miRNAs in HUVECs and miR-27b-5p may protect HUVECs from apoptosis under simulated microgravity by targeting ZHX1.
