Cancer Stem Cells are Actually Stem Cells with Disordered Differentiation: the Monophyletic Origin of Cancer - Qiankun Luo; Pan Liu; Pengfei Yu; Tao Qin (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2023)
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role in cancer development. Based on advancements in CSC research, we propose a monophyletic model of cancer. This model is based on the idea that CSCs are stem cells with disordered differentiation whose original purpose was to repair damaged tissues. Inflammatory responses and damage repair signals are crucial for the creation and maintenance of CSCs. Normal quiescent stem cells are activated by environmental stimulation, such as an inflammatory response, and undergo cell division and differentiation. In the initial stage of cancer development, stem cell differentiation leads to heteromorphism due to the accumulation of gene mutations, resulting in the development of metaplasia or precancerosis. In the second stage, accumulated mutations induce poor differentiation and lead to cancer development. The monophyletic model illustrates the evolution, biological behavior, and hallmarks of CSCs, proposes a concise understanding of the origin of cancer, and may encourage a novel therapeutic approach.

Lnc_000048 Promotes Histone H3K4 Methylation of MAP2K2 to Reduce Plaque Stability by Recruiting KDM1A in Carotid Atherosclerosis - Shuai Zhang; Yu Sun; Qi Xiao; Mengying Niu; Xudong Pan; Xiaoyan Zhu (Molecular Neurobiology, 2023)
Stabilizing and inhibiting plaque formation is a key challenge for preventing and treating ischemic stroke. KDM1A-mediated histone modifications, which involved in the development of training immunity, ultimately exacerbate the outcomes of inflammation. Although lncRNAs can recruit KDM1A to participate in histone methylation modification and regulate inflammation, cell proliferation, and other biological processes, little is known about the role of KDM1A-lncRNA interaction during atherosclerosis. The present study sought to delineate the effect of the interaction between lnc_000048 and KDM1A on plaque rupture in carotid atherosclerosis, as well as the potential mechanism. Our results revealed that lnc_000048 reduced the activity of histone demethylase and activated MAP2K2 expression by interacting with KDM1A. Furthermore, upregulated lnc_000048 indirectly regulated ERK phosphorylation by MAP2K2 and eventually activated the inflammatory response through the MAPK pathway, which was involved in atherosclerosis. Importantly, our study using ApoE-/- mice confirmed the regulatory role of lnc_000048 in promoting inflammation and collagen degradation in atherosclerotic plaques. These results suggest that targeting the lnc_000048 /KDM1A/MAP2K2/ERK axis may be a promising strategy for preventing atherosclerosis.

The most significant increase of current task is in the desire for operational flexibility and agility in large-scale underwater network application scenarios in recent years. In order to address the challenging problems in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs), we propose a large-scale UWSN based on the cellular network architecture called Underwater Cellular (uw-Cellular) network. It is designed especially for application scenarios where a large number of both fixed and mobile network nodes exist in a wide area to monitor the underwater environment. We also design protocols in each network layer in order to ensure reasonable channel sharing, data forwarding path selection and data reliability. The purpose of the simulation study we implement is to evaluate the performance of the CLA routing strategy compared to the VBF and the MFLOOD protocols in the uw-Cellular network. We also deploy a twenty-node uw-Cellular network in the real-world environment as the field case study. The experimental results showed that the Data Rate between any nodes could reach above 500 bps, and the network Average Throughput was no less than 550 bps under various load situations.

Impacts of El Niño–Southern Oscillation on tropical precipitation via triggering anomaly water vapour transport from ocean to land - Jialin Wang; Feifei Pan; Haiyan Li; Pingli An; Guolin Han; Kang Jiang; Xiao Chen; Ziyuan Zhang; Yu Song; Na Huang; Shangqian Ma; Zhenzhen Zhang; et al. (International Journal of Climatology, 2023)
Atmospheric water vapour transport is one of the most active components of the hydrological cycle, which shows great effects on the regional climate variability, while it is largely affected by the large‐scale circulation systems. El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) shows a remarkable influence on the atmospheric water circulation via disrupting the normal/regular water vapour transport processes, producing the anomaly water vapour fluxes input from ocean to land ( Q net ), and leading to regional precipitation anomalies. However, their quantitative impact has not been fully studied. This study quantified the effect of ENSO on the water vapour transport from ocean to land and identified its impact on tropical precipitation anomalies. The results showed that the global detrended Q net displayed a significantly negative correlation with the strength of ENSO. The notable impact of ENSO on Q net was largely affected by the different patterns of the atmospheric moisture circulation during El Niño and La Niña and was responsible for the change of the spatial distribution of precipitation over the Tropics. El Niño reduced precipitation over the Malay Archipelago and increased precipitation over south China, especially in boreal winter, while La Niña enhanced precipitation over the Malay Archipelago. This study identified the impacts of ENSO on the circulation and water vapour transport process and improved our understanding of the influencing mechanism of ENSO on regional precipitation anomalies, which has important significance on regional water resource management and disaster risk assessment, especially as the extreme climate events have become increasingly frequent.

An investigation on the effects of increasing maximum wind speed of tropical cyclones on the return periods of water levels in the sea area of the Yangtze River Delta - Yi Pan; Weihan Li; Jiahui Tan; Pubing Yu; Xinping Chen; Yongping Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
This paper investigates the impact of increasing maximum wind speed of tropical cyclones on the return periods of water levels in the sea area of the Yangtze River Delta. To conduct this study, a series of numerical experiments are performed using historical tropical cyclones that impacted the Yangtze River Delta from 1949 to 2019. The aim is to analyze the effects of global climate change on extreme water levels and the corresponding return periods. To obtain the historical water levels in the sea areas of the Yangtze River Delta, a storm surge model is driven by the selected tropical cyclones. The simulated astronomical tidal levels during the same period are also used. The extreme water levels of different return periods are then calculated. The maximum wind speeds of the selected tropical cyclones are increased by 11% according to the expected amount of increase under global climate change. The extreme water levels of different return periods under this scenario are calculated with the same procedure. The results of the study show that the impact of increasing maximum wind speed of tropical cyclones on the increases of extreme water levels and the decrease of return periods is more significant in the inner area of the estuaries than in the outer areas. Moreover, the responses of the extreme water levels and the corresponding return periods in the Yangtze River Estuary and the Hangzhou Bay show different characteristics. The results of this study provide significant reference value for the management of future coastal disaster prevention and mitigation in the Yangtze River Delta. Furthermore, the methodology used in this study can be applied in other estuaries to investigate the potential impacts of changes in climate and hydrology factors on extreme water levels and the corresponding return periods.

A Marine Organism Detection Framework Based on Dataset Augmentation and CNN-ViT Fusion - Xiao Jiang; Yaxin Zhang; Mian Pan; Shuaishuai Lv; Gang Yang; Zhu Li; Jingbiao Liu; Haibin Yu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Underwater vision-based detection plays an important role in marine resources exploration, marine ecological protection and other fields. Due to the restricted carrier movement and the clustering effect of some marine organisms, the size of some marine organisms in the underwater image is very small, and the samples in the dataset are very unbalanced, which aggravate the difficulty of vision detection of marine organisms. To solve these problems, this study proposes a marine organism detection framework with a dataset augmentation strategy and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)-Vision Transformer (ViT) fusion model. The proposed framework adopts two data augmentation methods, namely, random expansion of small objects and non-overlapping filling of scarce samples, to significantly improve the data quality of the dataset. At the same time, the framework takes YOLOv5 as the baseline model, introduces ViT, deformable convolution and trident block in the feature extraction network, and extracts richer features of marine organisms through multi-scale receptive fields with the help of the fusion of CNN and ViT. The experimental results show that, compared with various one-stage detection models, the mean average precision (mAP) of the proposed framework can be improved by 27%. At the same time, it gives consideration to both performance and real-time, so as to achieve high-precision real-time detection of the marine organisms on the underwater mobile platform.

Ecological carrying capacity and carbon sequestration potential of bivalve shellfish in marine ranching: A case study in Bohai Bay, China - Zepeng Li; Yan Chen; Gang Wang; Jiandong Mu; Yanfeng Sun; Haolin Yu; Jiangling Xu; Ying Yan; Shuangyue Luo; Fuqiang Han; Jie Feng; Zhe Pan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Introduction Shellfish play an important role in ecological restoration and as carbon (C) sinks, but studies on their ecological carrying capacity (ECC) and C sequestration potential are sparse. Methods In this study, we selected a 57-hectare artificial oyster reef in a typical marine ranching in Bohai Bay, China, to evaluate the ECC and their C sequestration potential of bivalve shellfish, and projecting their impact on functional groups in the system, with an Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) food web model. We conducted four biological surveys to obtain the biomass measurements, with one conducted in each of the summer, autumn, and winter of 2019 and one in the spring of 2020; and the functional groups included in the surveys comprised fish, cephalopods, crustaceans, snails, bivalve shellfish, annelids, other macrobenthos, meiobenthos, starfish, sea cucumbers, zooplankton, phytoplankton, and detritus. Results and Discussion The EwE model prediction results showed that the ECC of bivalve shellfish was established to be 282.66 t/km 2 , far more than the existing quantity of 187.76 t/km 2 . Therefore, at present, the ecosystem of the study marine ranching is not yet mature. Moreover, our ecological network analysis parameters indicated that the marine ranching ecosystem will be mature and stable when the bivalve shellfish population reaches its ECC. However, the increase in bivalve shellfish biomass will result in a decrease in the population sizes of species competing for food resources with bivalve shellfish, mainly gobiid fish such as Tridentiger bifasciatus, Tridentiger trigonocephalus, Tridentiger barbatus . Simultaneously, when the bivalve shellfish reach their ECC, 29.23 t of CO 2 can be sequestrated by bivalve shellfish, comprising 14.32 t being removed from the ecosystem as prey and 14.91 t being stored on the seafloor through biodeposition. Conclusion Therefore, the research demonstrated that, within the scope of ECC, the increasing bivalve shellfish can improve the C sequestration capacity of the marine ranch ecosystem, and effective management of bivalve shellfish in marine ranching can improve the economic benefits and C sink service functions of marine ranching.

Soil organic carbon storage in Liaohe River Estuary Wetlands under restoration and multiple management strategies, based on landscape patterns - Guanxun Wang; Jingyu Pan; Jing Yu; Wenwen Yan; Dongqi Gu; Jun Du (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Introduction Management of coastal wetlands has resulted in extensive conservation of this natural resource; however, changes in carbon storage function are not yet known. There is a direct link between landscape and soil carbon storage. Predicting future changes in the landscape and carbon storage in coastal wetlands is important for developing wetland management policies. Method Here, remote sensing and physical methods were used to measure and calculate the landscape and surface soil carbon stocks of the Liaohe River Estuary Wetland (LREW). The changes in the landscape and soil carbon stocks under three scenarios: natural development, strict protection, and culture pond transfer, were then predicted using the PLUS model. Result The results indicate that the surface soil organic carbon storage was 2107.97×103 t, while soil organic carbon density decreased from land to sea. Anthropogenic activity was found to be the main driver of the current landscape evolution. However, the impact of sea level rise is increasing. By 2030, considerably more storage will be gained under the culture pond transfer scenario than at present. Discussion Our results reveal that some of the methods of ecological restoration may diminish the carbon storage capacity of coastal wetlands. Making full use of areas with high carbon storage potential may be an effective wetland carbon sink management strategy. Governments should consider more comprehensively for a better carbon pool when developing restoration strategies.

Joint Voyage Planning and Onboard Energy Management of Hybrid Propulsion Ships - Yu Wang; Chengji Liang; Tugce Uslu Aktas; Jian Shi; Yang Pan; Sidun Fang; Gino Lim (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Maritime transportation decarbonization has become a crucial factor in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. As an industry that historically relies on fossil fuels, in particular, heavy fuel oil, the reinvention of the maritime transportation system is occurring at an unprecedented speed to integrate renewable and green energy, low-/zero- carbon fuels, and green infrastructure to support emission-free shipping. In this paper, a two-stage joint optimization model is proposed to optimize the voyage planning of a ship among multiple ports as well as its onboard energy management during each section of the voyage. More specifically, in the first stage, the arrival time of ships is optimized according to the mission of the ship and the electricity prices offered at each port. In the second stage, the speed of the ship, the dispatch of the onboard diesel engine, and the usage of energy storage systems (ESSs) are optimized based on emission control areas and maritime meteorological conditions. Simulation results have shown that the proposed approach would help ship operators minimize the operating cost over the whole voyage while significantly contributing to carbon emissions reduction.

Geographical distance, host evolutionary history and diet drive gut microbiome diversity of fish across the Yellow River - Baozhu Pan; Xu Han; Ke Yu; He Sun; Rong Mu; Chun‐Ang Lian (Molecular Ecology, 2023)
Fish represent a large part of the taxonomic diversity of vertebrates and are of high commercial value. However, the factors influencing the gut microbiota composition of freshwater fish over large spatial scales remain unclear. Therefore, this study explored gut microbiome diversity in 24 fish species from the Yellow River, which spans over 1500 km across China. The results showed that geographical distance, host phylogeny and diet significantly influenced gut microbial community diversity, whereas sex, body length and body weight had minimal influence. Geographical distance was the primary factor shaping gut microbiota, and dissimilarity in microbial community structure increased with an increase in geographical distance, which was mainly driven by dispersal limitation. The microbial communities were more homogeneous at higher host taxonomic resolutions due to the dominant role of homogeneous selection in community convergence. Phylosymbiosis was observed across all host species, with a stronger pattern in Cypriniformes, which harbour host‐specific microbial taxa. Host diet explained little variation in gut microbiome diversity, although it was significant for all diversity metrics tested. These findings collectively suggest that the geographical and host‐based patterns of fish gut microbiota tend to be shaped by different ecological forces across the Yellow River. The present work provides a robust assessment of multiple factors driving fish gut microbial community assembly and offers insight into the mechanisms underlying shifts in fish gut microbiota in rivers across large spatial scales.

Spatial-temporal variations of short-lived mesoscale eddies and their environmental effects - Shidong Liu; Jishang Xu; Lulu Qiao; Guangxue Li; Jinghao Shi; Dong Ding; Di Yu; Xue Yang; Yufeng Pan; Siyu Liu; Xiaoshuang Fu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Mesoscale eddies (MEs) affect the transport and redistribution of oceanic matter and energy. The long-lived and long-distance propagation of individual eddies has garnered extensive attention; however, short-lived MEs (< 7 days) have been widely overlooked. In this study, the basic features of short-lived MEs and their spatial-temporal variations in a tropical eddy-rich region were extracted and analyzed for the first time. Short-lived cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies (CEs/AEs) were found to be widespread in two eddy belts in the tropical region of the western Pacific warm pool (WPWP). The CEs and AEs were formed by the shear instability between large-scale circulations and were distributed on both sides of the North Equatorial Countercurrent, with significant differences in spatial distribution. The variations in sea surface temperature, mixed layer depth, and surface chlorophyll-a concentration in the core of the WPWP were spatially and temporally related to the development of the two eddy belts. This new insight into short-lived MEs in the tropical region contributes to our current understanding of ocean eddies. The potential impacts of short-lived MEs on climate change, global air–sea interactions, and tropical cyclone formation should receive adequate attention and further assessment in future research.

Combined effect of Cu- and ZnO- NPs on antibiotic resistance genes in an estuarine water - Yu-ru Chen; Rong-rong Sha; Xiao-li Sun; Xing-pan Guo; Yi Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Most studies of whether and how nanoparticles (NPs) affect antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) focus on testing single NPs type. In this study, we determined the combined effect of Cu- and ZnO- NPs in the water samples collected from the Yangtze River Estuary and found the effect differs greatly from that produced by individual NPs. The results showed that the Cu- and ZnO- NPs co-exposure resulted in an enrichment of ARGs, whereas individual Cu- and ZnO- NPs exposure decreased the abundance of ARGs. Furthermore, the co-exposure of Cu- and ZnO- NPs induced obvious changes in the microbial communities compared to the control communities. Redundancy analysis suggested that the microbial community contributed the most (43.5%) to the ARG profiles, followed by dissolved metal ions (25.7%), MRGs, (19.4%), and MGEs (4.4%). Network analysis found several potential hosts (such as Mycobacterium and Escherichia coli ) and implied the extent of the risk of ARG transmission into various environmental niches by these common microbes.

Effect of dietary oregano oil on growth performance, disease resistance, intestinal morphology, immunity, and microbiota of hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂) - Yu Xin; Hao Liu; Xiaobo Yan; Weibin Huang; Simiao Pan; Menglong Zhou; Baiquan Lu; Beiping Tan; Xiaohui Dong; Yuanzhi Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The study aimed to investigate the effects of oregano oil (OO) supplement in the diet on the growth performance, disease resistance, immunity, and intestinal health of hybrid grouper. Six isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were fed to the grouper with an initial weight of 19.10 ± 0.12 g for 8 weeks, of which the dietary OO levels were 0 (Control), 0.1 (OO-0.1), 0.3 (OO-0.3), 0.6 (OO-0.6), 0.9 (OO-0.9), or 1.2 (OO-1.2) g kg -1 . The results showed that there were no significant differences in growth performance among the six groups, while the OO supplement could improve the disease resistance ability of grouper. Our findings have demonstrated that the OO supplement, especially 0.3 g kg -1 , could improve the intestinal morphology via increasing the villus number and muscle thickness and elevate digestive enzyme activities such as those of amylase (AMS) and lipase. The 0.3-g kg -1 OO supplement also can activate the antioxidant defense system, reduce nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2-like 2 (Nrf2)/Kelch-like-ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) expression, and then enhance the immune ability via acid phosphatase (ACP), lysozyme (LYS), complement C3 (C3), and tight junction-associated signaling pathways in hybrid grouper. Meanwhile, the relative abundance of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes in the OO-0.3 group was significantly higher than that of Control group ( P < 0.05), while the relative abundance of Proteobacteria showed a basically opposite trend ( P < 0.05). These findings suggested that dietary OO supplementation could significantly improve intestinal health and induce the antioxidant defense system and immunity, which means that OO could be used as a functional feed additive to protect the intestine, and the appropriate addition level of OO should be 0.3 g kg -1 .

Bifunctional catalysts for heterogeneous electro-Fenton processes: a review - Yuanyuan Yao; Yuqi Pan; Yanxi Yu; Zixun Yu; Leo Lai; Fangzhou Liu; Li Wei; Yuan Chen (Environmental Chemistry Letters, 2022)
Fenton processes allow to degrade and mineralize toxic organic contaminants, yet classical Fenton processes require continuously adding hydrogen peroxide and ferrous ions, costly solution pH adjustment, and treatment of secondary iron sludge pollution. Heterogeneous electro-Fenton processes deliver oxidizing radicals with only oxygen and electricity consumed. Bifunctional catalysts allow the synthesis and activation of hydrogen peroxide simultaneously, eliminate additional chemical reagents, and yield no metal residues in treated water. Here, we review bifunctional catalysts for heterogeneous electro-Fenton processes. We describe the mechanisms of oxidizing radical generation from oxygen. Then, we compare different types of bifunctional catalysts based on their elemental compositions: (1) metal/carbon composite catalysts, i.e., monometallic iron/carbon composite catalysts, bimetallic/trimetallic carbon composite catalysts, and transition metal single-atom catalysts; (2) metal composite catalysts without carbon; and (3) metal-free carbon catalysts. Then, we present five other approaches beyond electrocatalysts, which have been used to improve the performance of heterogeneous electro-Fenton processes.

Depth and Heading Control of a Manta Robot Based on S-Plane Control - Yue He; Yu Xie; Guang Pan; Yonghui Cao; Qiaogao Huang; Shumin Ma; Daili Zhang; Yong Cao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Bionic underwater robots have many advantages such as high mobility, high efficiency, high affinity, etc. They are especially suitable for tasks such as collecting hydrographic information and for detailed surveys of the marine environment. These tasks are based on their high-precision attitude control. Therefore, this paper proposes a control scheme for a bionic underwater robot—a manta robot. To improve the depth retention capability of the manta robot, a S-plane controller based on asymmetric output was designed in combination with the longitudinal motion characteristics of the manta robot. In addition, to achieve good motion control for the manta robot under conditions of large changes in the heading angle, the fuzzy controller and the heading transition target value function were combined to design the heading controller of the manta robot. Finally, the feasibility and reliability of the control system of the manta robot were verified by pool experiments. The experimental results showed that the depth control error was within ±5 cm and the heading control error was within ±5 degrees. The control scheme proposed in this paper achieves high-precision attitude control of the manta robot, providing a basis for the practical application of the manta robot.

Core phylotypes enhance the resistance of soil microbiome to environmental changes to maintain multifunctionality in agricultural ecosystems - Shuo Jiao; Jiejun Qi; Chujie Jin; Yu Liu; Yang Wang; Haibo Pan; Shi Chen; Chunling Liang; Ziheng Peng; Beibei Chen; Xun Qian; Gehong Wei (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Agricultural ecosystems are facing increasing environmental changes. Revealing ecological stability of belowground organisms is key to developing management strategies that maintain agricultural ecosystem services in a changing world. Here, we collected soils from adjacent pairs of maize and rice fields along large spatial scale across Eastern and Southeast China to investigate the importance of core microbiota as a predictor of resistance of soil microbiome (e.g. bacteria, fungi and protist) to climate changes and nutrient fertilization, and their effect on multiple ecosystem functions, representing key services for crop growth and health in agro‐ecosystems. Soil microbiome in maize soils exhibited stronger resistance than that in rice soils, by considering multiple aspects of the resistance index, for example, community, phylogenetic conservation and network complexity. Community resistance of soil microbiome showed a geographic pattern, with higher resistance at lower latitudes, suggesting their stronger resistance in warmer regions. Particularly, we highlighted the role of core phylotypes in enhancing the community resistance of soil microbiome, which was essential for the maintenance of multifunctionality in agricultural ecosystems. Our results represent a significant advance in linking core phylotypes to community resistance and ecosystem functions, and therefore forecasting agro‐ecosystems dynamics in response to ongoing environmental changes. These suggest that core phylotypes should be considered a key factor in enhancing agricultural sustainability and crop productivity under global change scenarios.

Investigating and predicting spatiotemporal variations in vegetation cover in transitional climate zone: a case study of Gansu (China) - Qing He; Kwok Pan Chun; Bastien Dieppois; Liang Chen; Ping Yu Fan; Emir Toker; Omer Yetemen; Xicai Pan (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2022)
Vegetation ecosystems are sensitive to large-scale climate variability in climate transition zones. As a representative transitional climate zone in Northwest China, Gansu is characterized by a sharp climate and vegetation gradient. In this study, the spatiotemporal variations of vegetation over Gansu are characterized using the satellite-based normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) observations during 2000–2020. Results demonstrate that a significant greening trend in vegetation over Gansu is positively linked with large-scale climate factors through modulating the water and energy dynamics. As a climate transition zone, the northern water-limited and southern energy-limited regions of Gansu are affected by water and energy dynamics, differently. In the water-limited region, a weakening Asian monsoon along with colder Central Pacific (CP) and warmer North Pacific (NP) Oceans enhances prevailing westerlies which bring more atmospheric moisture. The enhanced atmospheric moisture and rising temperature promote the local vegetation growth. In contrast, large-scale climate variations suppress the southwest monsoon moisture fluxes and reduce precipitation in southern energy-limited regions. In these energy-limited regions, temperature has more effects on vegetation growth than precipitation. Therefore, the greenness of vegetation is because of more available energy from higher temperatures despite overall drying conditions in the region. Based on the above mechanism, future scenarios for climate impacts on vegetation cover over Gansu region are developed based on the two latest generation from coupled climate models (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 and Phase 6; CMIP5 and CMIP6). In the near-term future (2021–2039), the vegetation is likely to increase due to rising temperature. However, the vegetation is expected to decrease in a long-term future (2080–2099) when the energy-limited regions become water-limited due to increasing regional temperatures and lowering atmospheric moisture flux. This study reveals an increasing desertification risk over Gansu. Similar investigations will be valuable in climate transition regions worldwide to explore how large-scale climate variability affects local ecological services under different future climate scenarios.

(Functional & Integrative Genomics, 2022)
microRNA (miRNA) is a type of endogenous short-chain non-coding RNA with regulatory function found in eukaryotes, which is involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular and biological processes. However, the research on the development of cashmere goat secondary hair follicles is still relatively scarce. In this study, small RNA libraries and mRNA libraries of 45 days, 55 days, 65 days, and 75 days of fetal skin of cashmere goats were constructed, and the constructed libraries were sequenced using Illumina Hiseq4000, and the expression profiles of miRNA and mRNA in cashmere goat fetal skin were obtained. The differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs in six control groups were identified and the qRT-PCR experiment shows that the sequencing results are accurate. Sixty-six miRNAs related to secondary hair follicle development were screened, and used TargetScan and miRanda to predict 33 highly expressed miRNA target genes. At the same time, 664 mRNAs related to the development of secondary hair follicles were screened, and GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis were performed. It was found that some miRNA target genes were consistent with the screening results of mRNAs related to secondary hair follicle development and were enriched in Notch signaling pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway. Therefore, miR-145-5p-DLL4, miR-27b-3p-DLL4, miR-30e-5p-DLL4, miR-193b-3p-TGF-β1, miR-181b-5p-NOTCH2, and miR-103-3p-NOTCH2 regulatory network related to the development of secondary hair follicles were constructed and the results of dual-luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that there is a targeted relationship between chi-miR-30e-5p and DLL4, which will provide a basis for molecular mechanism of miRNA-mRNA in the development of the hair follicles in cashmere goats.

Transport Patterns and Potential Sources of Atmospheric Pollution during the XXIV Olympic Winter Games Period - Yuting Zhang; Xiaole Pan; Yu Tian; Hang Liu; Xueshun Chen; Baozhu Ge; Zhe Wang; Xiao Tang; Shandong Lei; Weijie Yao; Yuanzhe Ren; Yongli Tian; et al. (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2022)
The attainment of suitable ambient air quality standards is a matter of great concern for successfully hosting the XXIV Olympic Winter Games (OWG). Transport patterns and potential sources of pollutants in Zhangjiakou (ZJK) were investigated using pollutant monitoring datasets and a dispersion model. The PM 2.5 concentration during February in ZJK has increased slightly (28%) from 2018 to 2021, mostly owing to the shift of main potential source regions of west-central Inner Mongolia and Mongolian areas (2015–18) to the North China Plain and northern Shanxi Province (NCPS) after 2018. Using CO as an indicator, the relative contributions of the different regions to the receptor site (ZJK) were evaluated based on the source-receptor-relationship method (SRR) and an emission inventory. We found that the relative contribution of pollutants from NCPS increased from 33% to 68% during 2019–21. Central Inner Mongolia (CIM) also has an important impact on ZJK under unfavorable weather conditions. This study demonstrated that the effect of pollution control measures in the NCPS and CIM should be strengthened to ensure that the air quality meets the standard during the XXIV OWG.

Comprehensive bioinformatics analyses reveal immune genes responsible for altered immune microenvironment in intervertebral disc degeneration - Bao Hai; Qingpeng Song; Chuanchao Du; Tianli Mao; Fei Jia; Yu Liu; Xiaoyu Pan; Bin Zhu; Xiaoguang Liu (Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2022)
We sought to identify novel biomarkers and related mechanisms that might shape the immune infiltration in IDD, thereby providing novel perspective for IDD diagnosis and therapies. Gene expression data sets GSE124272 (for initial analysis) and GSE56081 (for validation analysis) involving samples from IDD patients and healthy controls were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Immune genes associated with IDD were identified by GSEA; module genes that exhibited coordinated expression patterns and the strongest positive or negative correlation with IDD were identified by WGCNA. The intersection between immune genes and module genes was used for LASSO variable selection, whereby we obtained pivotal genes that were highly representative of IDD. We then correlated (Pearson correlation) the expression of pivotal genes with immune cell proportion inferred by CIBERSORT algorithm, and revealed the potential immune-regulatory roles of pivotal genes on the pathogenesis of IDD. We discovered several immune-associated pathways in which IDD-associated immune genes were highly clustered, and identified two gene modules that might promote or inhibit the pathogenesis of IDD. These candidate genes were further narrowed down to 8 pivotal genes, namely, MSH2, LY96, ADAM8, HEBP2, ANXA3, RAB24, ZBTB16 and PIK3CD, among which ANXA3, MSH2, ZBTB16, LY96, PIK3CD, ZBTB16, and ADAM8 were revealed to be correlated with the proportion of CD8 T cells and resting memory CD4 T cells. This work identified 8 pivotal genes that might be involved in the pathogenesis of IDD through triggering various immune-associated pathways and altering the composition of immune and myeloid cells in IDD patients, which provides novel perspectives on IDD diagnosis and treatment.

Exploiting the gut microbiota to predict the origins and quality traits of cultured sea cucumbers - Zelong Zhao; Jingwei Jiang; Jie Zheng; Yongjia Pan; Ying Dong; Zhong Chen; Shan Gao; Yao Xiao; Pingzhe Jiang; Xuda Wang; Gaohua Zhang; Bai Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Nowadays, the true economic and nutritional value of food is underpinned by both origin and quality traits, more often expressed as increased quality benefits derived from the origin source. Gut microbiota contribute to food metabolism and host health, therefore, it may be suitable as a qualifying indicator of origin and quality of economic species. Here, we investigated relationships between the gut microbiota of the sea cucumber ( Apostichopus japonicus ), a valuable aquaculture species in Asia, with their origins and quality metrics. Based on data from 287 intestinal samples, we generated the first biogeographical patterns for A . japonicus gut microbiota from origins across China. Importantly, A . japonicus origins were predicted using the random forest model that was constructed using 20 key gut bacterial genera, with 97.6% accuracy. Furthermore, quality traits such as saponin, fat and taurine were also successfully predicted by random forest models based on gut microbiota, with approximately 80% consistency between predicted and true values. We showed that substantial variations existed in the gut microbiota and quality variables in A . japonicus across different origins, and we also demonstrated the great potential of gut microbiota to track A . japonicus origins and predict their quality traits.

A simple method for estimating macroalgae area under clouds on MODIS imagery - Deyu An; Qianguo Xing; Dingfeng Yu; Shunqi Pan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The presence of clouds interferes with optical remote sensing monitoring of macroalgae blooms. To solve this problem, we propose a simple method for estimating macroalgae area under clouds (Area _cloud_GT ) on MODIS imagery using the principle behind the lowpass filter. The method is based on a rectangle with clouds and eight identical adjacent rectangles surrounding it that contain macroalgae. The cloud rectangle is a central ‘pixel’ (Cloud) and the eight adjacent rectangles are ‘pixels’ GT1–GT8. The core operation is to calculate the central ‘pixel’ value, i.e., the macroalgae coverage rate in the Cloud rectangle. The macroalgae area detected by semi-simultaneous fine resolution images in the same region was taken as the ‘real’ value. A comparison of the estimation results and the ‘real’ value shown that the mean relative difference between them (MRD) was 30.09% when the time interval of the images within 10 minutes. When the time interval was over 3 hours, the MRD was more than 60%. The MRD increased significantly with increasing time interval because of the constant movement of the macroalgae and the limitations of the remote sensing image. The results indicate that this simple method is effective to a certain extent. These results can provide a reference for the quantitative analysis of green tide.

Asymmetric Structures of a Squall-Line MCS over Taiwan with Significant Hydraulic Jumps - Yu-Tai Pan; Ming-Jen Yang (Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, 2022)
On 19 April 2019, a mature squall-line mesoscale convective system (MCS) with the characteristics of a leading convective line and trailing stratiform landed on Taiwan, resulting in strong gust wind and heavy rainfall. This squall-line MCS became asymmetric after landfall on Taiwan. Two sets of idealized numerical simulations (mountain heights and low-level vertical wind shear) using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model were conducted to examine the impacts of realistic Taiwan topography on a squall-line MCS. Results showed numerous similarities between the idealized simulations and real-case observations. The low-level Froude number which considered the terrain height (F mt ) was calculated to examine the blocking effect of the Taiwan terrain, and the cold pool (determined by − 1.5 K isotherm) was found to be completely blocked by the 500-m height contour. The northeast-southwest orientation of the Snow Mountain Range (SMR), and the north–south orientation of the Central Mountain Range (CMR) led to the upwind side asymmetry. On the other hand, the lee-side asymmetry was associated with different intensities and occurrence locations of the hydraulic jump between the SMR and southern CMR, and the cold-pool Froude number (F cp ) indicated the flow-regime transition from subcritical to supercritical.

Plant secondary metabolite and temperature determine the prevalence of Arsenophonus endosymbionts in aphid populations - Chun‐Yan Chang; Xiao‐Wan Sun; Pan‐Pan Tian; Ning‐Hui Miao; Yu‐Lin Zhang; Xiang‐Dong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Transmission rate and role in hosts contribute to the prevalence of an endosymbiont. However, factors affecting transmission and role of facultative endosymbionts are still not well understood. Here, we illustrated that host plants and environmental temperatures affected the transmission, relative abundance and role of Arsenophonus in the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii . The transmission rate of this endosymbiont from mother aphids to offspring was relatively lower. High temperatures impeded the transmission, and infection rates declined as aphids were exposed to 30°C. Contents of amino acids and secondary metabolites were remarkably different among host plants. Aphids feeding on zucchini leaves containing a higher titre of amino acids and lower secondary metabolites harboured a relatively lower abundance of Arsenophonus . Concentrations of an amino acid and a plant secondary metabolite, cucurbitacin B, in aphid diet were not associated with Arsenophonus abundance. However, gossypol, another plant secondary metabolite, was strongly related with the abundance. Arsenophonus imparted a fitness benefit to aphids, and the benefit was dependent on host plants and gossypol concentration. In sum, plant secondary metabolite and environmental temperature affect transmission, relative abundance and role of Arsenophonus , which determine the endosymbiont prevalence in aphid populations.

Characterization of Fine-Scale Turbulence Generated in a Laboratory Orbital Shaker and Its Influence on Skeletonema costatum - Lin Yu; Yifan Li; Zhongzhi Yao; Long You; Zong-Pei Jiang; Wei Fan; Yiwen Pan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Turbulence is one of the ubiquitous aspects of aquatic systems and affects many physical and biological processes. Based on direct velocity measurements and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, we characterized the distribution of the turbulent kinetic dissipations rates (ε) in an orbital shaker system within a range of rotation frequencies. CFD was able to estimate the ε distribution in containers accurately, which was confirmed by other two methods and was independent of velocity measurement. The results showed that ε was linearly correlated with the rotational frequencies. Despite the existence of gradients of ε and the fact that a mean circular horizontal flow was formed within the tank, the energy levels of the whole tank varied spatially within an order of magnitude and the ε distributions at different rotational frequencies were similar, suggesting that the ε distribution in the whole tank could be seen as quasi-homogeneous. To investigate the influence of turbulence on algae growth, culture experiments of a typical diatom—Skeletonema costatum were carried out under different turbulence conditions. Our results suggested turbulence mixing promoted nutrient uptake and growth of Skeletonema costatum, which could be attributed to the break of the diffusion-limited resource concentration boundary layer surrounding phytoplankton.

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.

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.

Bioinspired Central Pattern Generator and T-S Fuzzy Neural Network-Based Control of a Robotic Manta for Depth and Heading Tracking - Yonghui Cao; Yu Xie; Yue He; Guang Pan; Qiaogao Huang; Yong Cao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Aiming at the difficult problem of motion control of robotic manta with pectoral fin flexible deformation, this paper proposes a control scheme that combines the bioinspired Central Pattern Generator (CPG) and T-S Fuzzy neural network (NN)-based control. An improved CPG drive network is presented for the multi-stage fin structure of the robotic manta. Considering the unknown dynamics and the external environmental disturbances, a sensor-based classic T-S Fuzzy NN controller is designed for heading and depth control. Finally, a pool test demonstrates the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller: the robotic manta can track the depth and heading with an error of ±6 cm and ±6°, satisfying accuracy requirements.

Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of Acanthogobius ommaturus Provides Insights Into Evolution and Lipid Metabolism - Yu Pan; Zhicheng Sun; Tianxiang Gao; Linlin Zhao; Na Song (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Acanthogobius ommaturus is a large, fast-growing annual fish widely distributed in coastal and estuarine areas. The adults will die after breeding, and its life cycle is only 1 year. The first chromosome-level genome assembly of A. ommaturus was obtained by PacBio and Hi-C sequencing in this study. The final genome assembly after Hi-C correction was 921.49 Mb, with contig N50 and scaffold N50 values of 15.70 Mb and 40.99 Mb, respectively. The assembled sequences were anchored to 22 chromosomes by using Hi-C data. A total of 18,752 protein-coding genes were predicted, 97.90% of which were successfully annotated. Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) assessment results for genome and gene annotations were 93.6% and 84.6%, respectively. A. ommaturus is phylogenetically closely related to Periophthalmodon magnuspinnatus and Boleophthalmus pectinirostris , diverging approximately 31.9 MYA with the two goby species. The A. ommaturus genome displayed 597 expanded and 3,094 contracted gene families compared with the common ancestor. A total of 1,155 positive selected genes (PSGs) ( p < 0.05) were identified. Based on comparative genomic analyses, we obtained several expanded genes such as acsbg2 , lrp1 , lrp6 , and znf638 involved in lipid metabolism. A total of twenty candidate genes were identified under positive selection, which associated with lifespan including ercc6 , igf1 , polg , and tert . Interspecific collinearity analysis showed a high genomic synteny between A. ommaturus and P. magnuspinnatus . The effective population size of A. ommaturus decreased drastically during 200–100 Ka because of Guxiang ice age and then increased gradually following warm periods. This study provides pivotal genetic resources for in-depth biological and evolutionary studies, and underlies the molecular basis for lipid metabolism.

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.
