Purpose Management of peptic ulcer bleeding is clinically challenging. Accurate characterization of the bleeding during endoscopy is key for endoscopic therapy. This study aimed to assess whether a deep learning model can aid in the classification of bleeding peptic ulcer disease. Methods Endoscopic still images of patients ( n = 1694) with peptic ulcer bleeding for the last 5 years were retrieved and reviewed. Overall, 2289 images were collected for deep learning model training, and 449 images were validated for the performance test. Two expert endoscopists classified the images into different classes based on their appearance. Four deep learning models, including Mobile Net V2, VGG16, Inception V4, and ResNet50, were proposed and pre-trained by ImageNet with the established convolutional neural network algorithm. A comparison of the endoscopists and trained deep learning model was performed to evaluate the model’s performance on a dataset of 449 testing images. Results The results first presented the performance comparisons of four deep learning models. The Mobile Net V2 presented the optimal performance of the proposal models. The Mobile Net V2 was chosen for further comparing the performance with the diagnostic results obtained by one senior and one novice endoscopists. The sensitivity and specificity were acceptable for the prediction of “normal” lesions in both 3-class and 4-class classifications. For the 3-class category, the sensitivity and specificity were 94.83% and 92.36%, respectively. For the 4-class category, the sensitivity and specificity were 95.40% and 92.70%, respectively. The interobserver agreement of the testing dataset of the model was moderate to substantial with the senior endoscopist. The accuracy of the determination of endoscopic therapy required and high-risk endoscopic therapy of the deep learning model was higher than that of the novice endoscopist. Conclusions In this study, the deep learning model performed better than inexperienced endoscopists. Further improvement of the model may aid in clinical decision-making during clinical practice, especially for trainee endoscopist.

Mega-Ship-Generated Tsunami: A Field Observation in Tampa Bay, Florida - Ping Wang; Jun Cheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The displacement of a large amount of water in a moderate-sized estuary by a fast-moving mega-ship can generate tsunami-like waves. Such waves, generated by cruise ships, were observed in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA. Two distinct, long tsunami-like waves were measured, which were associated with the passage of a large cruise ship. The first wave had a period of 5.4 min and a height of 0.40 m near the shoreline. The second wave had a period of 2.5 min and was 0.23 m high. The peak velocity of the onshore flow during the second wave reached 0.65 m/s. The shorter, second wave propagated considerably faster than the first wave in the breaking zone. The measured wave celerity was less than 50% of the calculated values, using the shallow water approximation of the dispersion equation, suggesting that nonlinear effects play an important role. A fundamental similarity among the generation of tsunamis, as induced by mega-ships, landslides or earthquakes, is a process that causes a vertical velocity at the sea surface, where a freely propagating wave is produced. This mega-ship-generated tsunami provides a prototype field laboratory for systematically studying tsunami dynamics, particularly the strong turbulent flows associated with the breaking of a tsunami wave in the nearshore, and tsunami–land interactions. It also provides a realistic demonstration for public education, which is essential for the preparation and management of this unpreventable hazard.

Evaluation of crustal inhomogeneity parameters in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and adjacent regions - Xiao-Ping Fan; Yi-Cheng He; Cong-Jie Yang; Jun-Fei Wang (Journal of Seismology, 2020)
Broadband teleseismic waveform data from 13 earthquakes recorded by 70 digital seismic stations were selected to evaluate the inhomogeneity parameters of the crustal medium in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and its adjacent regions using the teleseismic fluctuation wavefield method. Results show that a strong inhomogeneity exists beneath the study region, which can be divided into three blocks according to its structure and tectonic deformation features. These are known as the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block. The velocity fluctuation ratios of the three blocks are approximately 5.1%, 3.6%, and 5.1% in the upper crust and 5.1%, 3.8%, and 4.9% in the lower crust. The inhomogeneity correlation lengths of the three blocks are about 10.1 km, 14.0 km, and 10.7 km in the upper crust and 11.8 km, 17.0 km, and 11.8 km in the lower crust. The differences in the crustal medium inhomogeneity beneath the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block may be related to intensive tectonic movement and material flow in the crust and upper mantle.

This study explored the effects of exercise with either high cognitive load or low cognitive load on cognitive performance and neuroplasticity in healthy elderly. Twenty-eight sedentary community-dwelling seniors participated in this study. Participants were assigned to one of three groups: the control group (C), low-cognitive load exercise group (LE), or high-cognitive load exercise group (HE). Individuals in both exercise groups engaged in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 4 months. Resting-state functional MRI and diffusion MRI were used to investigate the effects of intervention on functional and structural connectivity, respectively. Analysis of covariance with baseline, age and the education year as covariates was used to determine the effects of intervention. We found 4 months of exercise with high-cognitive load, but not exercise with low-cognitive load, improved the overall cognitive function of healthy elderly. Additionally, the HE group showed increased resting-state functional connectivity of superior frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate cortex and decreased functional connectivity of middle occipital gyrus and postcentral gyrus. The age-related alterations in local efficiency and betweenness were protected by exercise. Our findings might suggest that exercise with greater cognitive load likely results in greater training effects on cognition and brain connectivity than exercise requiring lower cognitive loads for healthy elderly.

Aim Rapid anthropogenic warming coupled with changes in land use is altering the distributions of species, with consequences for ecosystem functioning and services. It is crucial to evaluate species range shifts based on understanding of the interaction of temperature with non‐climatic factors such as habitat availability and dispersal potential. Here, we aim to investigate roles of environmental temperature, habitat availability and population connectivity on the distributions of hard‐shore intertidal animals. We further examine potential roles of extensive artificial seawall construction in enabling poleward expansion of species in China, thus reshaping coastal biogeography. Location Chinese coast. Time period 2013–2017. Major taxa studied Intertidal invertebrates. Methods We took an integrative approach encompassing distributional ecology, thermal physiology, molecular genetics, heat budget modelling and larval dispersal to elucidate how interacting multiple drivers, including temperature, habitat availability and larval dispersal, determine distributions of hard‐shore invertebrates, focusing on what sets their range edges at a boundary between biogeographic provinces. Results Our results untangle the complex interactions of global climate change with the impacts of regional scale coastal development. Temperature, larval transport and habitat availability are the major proximate factors controlling the range limits of coastal marine species. The artificial shorelines provide suitable habitats for hard‐shore species on the Yangtze River Delta, and minimum temperature in winter is an important factor setting the new northern range limit of these hard‐shore species along the Chinese coast. Main conclusions In the face of global warming and global sprawl of marine hard infrastructure, species distributions, community structures and biogeographic patterns are experiencing dramatic changes. The combined influence of multiple human stressors including climate change and artificial shorelines can be evaluated by using a multidisciplinary framework, including ecological distribution, physiological sensitivity of species to these stressors, and the role of dispersal in maintaining population connectivity.

The false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens requires rice stamens for false smut ball formation - Jing Fan; Jie Liu; Zhi‐You Gong; Pei‐Zhou Xu; Xiao‐Hong Hu; Jin‐Long Wu; Guo‐Bang Li; Juan Yang; Yu‐Qiu Wang; Yu‐Feng Zhou; Shuang‐Cheng Li; Li Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is known about the host factors required for false smut ball formation by U . virens . In this study, we identified histological determinants for the formation of false smut balls by inoculating U . virens into rice floral mutants defective with respect to individual floral parts. The results showed that U . virens could form mature false smut balls in rice floral mutants with defective pistils, but failed to develop false smut balls in the superwoman mutant lacking stamens, identifying that U . virens requires rice stamens to complete its infection cycle. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated a list of candidate host genes that may facilitate nutrient acquisition by U . virens from the rice stamens, such as SWEET11 , SWEET14 and SUT5 , and genes involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose and raffinose family sugars. These data pinpoint rice stamens as the key target organ of U . virens infection and provide a valuable starting point for dissecting the molecular mechanism of false smut ball formation.

(International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Differences, arising from differences in gross primary production (GPP) model structures and driving forces, have fuelled arguments concerning interannual changes of GPP in China since 2000. To better investigate the interannual variability of GPP and its covariance with climate factors in China, this study adopted a multi‐model analysis based on three GPP models (i.e., Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon flux model [TEC], Breathing Earth System Simulator model [BESS], and MOD17 GPP model). The results show that annual GPP in China increased by 0.021–0.057 Pg C year −1 from 2000 to 2015 attributable to atmospheric‐CO 2 fertilization effects and favourable climate change, that is, increasing precipitation ( P r ) and temperature ( T a ). However, northern China and southern China had a large difference in the amplitude of these GPP changes; annual GPP increased by 0.017–0.039 Pg C year −1 in northern China but only 0.001–0.018 Pg C year −1 in southern China. Northern China and southern China occupy contrasting climate zones and this contrast produced different interannual variability of GPP through different mechanisms. Northern China has a dry climate with GPP changes sensitive to P r . As a result, more P r along with higher T a in northern China produced the strong uptrend of GPP from 2000 to 2015. In contrast, southern China has a wet climate with its GPP sensitive to solar radiation and T a . For the interval of 2000–2015, decreasing radiation plus drought exerted a negative influence on GPP in southern China. This study highlights the diverse mechanisms in which climate change affects GPP in dry and wet climate zones.

F‐box proteins MoFwd1, MoCdc4 and MoFbx15 regulate development and pathogenicity in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae - Huan‐Bin Shi; Nan Chen; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Shuang Liang; Lin Li; Jiao‐Yu Wang; Jian‐Ping Lu; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The Skp1‐Cul1‐F‐box‐protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligases are important parts of the ubiquitin system controlling many cellular biological processes in eukaryotes. However, the roles of SCF ubiquitin ligases remain unclear in phytopathogenic Magnaporthe oryzae . Here, we cloned 24 F‐box proteins and confirmed that 17 proteins could interact with MoSkp1, showing their potential to participate in SCF complexes. To determine their functions, null mutants of 21 F‐box‐containing genes were created. Among them, the F‐box proteins MoFwd1, MoCdc4 and MoFbx15 were found to be required for growth, development and full virulence. Fluorescent‐microscopy observations demonstrated that both MoFbx15 and MoCdc4 were localized to the nucleus, compared with MoFwd1, which was distributed in the cytosol. MoCdc4 and MoFwd1 bound to MoSkp1 via the F‐box domain, the deletion of which abrogated their function. Race tube and qRT‐PCR assays confirmed that MoFwd1 was involved in circadian rhythm by regulating transcription and protein stability of the core circadian clock regulator MoFRQ . Moreover, MoFWD1 also orchestrates conidial germination by influencing conidial amino acids pools and oxidative stress release. Overall, our results indicate that SCF ubiquitin ligases play indispensable roles in development and pathogenicity in M. oryzae .

A full‐length complementary (c)DNA sequence encoding follistatin‐related protein 3 ( fsrp‐3 ) was determined from skeletal muscle in Chinese mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi , its molecular structure was characterised and its function suggested. The putative structure of S. chuatsi Fsrp‐3 contains an N‐terminal domain and two follistatin domains. Quantitative reverse‐transcription (qRT)‐PCR assays revealed that fsrp‐3 messenger (m)RNA was differentially expressed among assayed tissues and was highly expressed in heart and intestine. fsrp‐3 mRNA exhibited increasing expression from the larval to the juvenile stage (500 g). To investigate the potential function of S. chuatsi fsrp‐3 in muscle growth, we constructed a Fsrp‐3 prokaryotic expression system and injected the purified Fsrp‐3 fusion protein into the dorsal muscle. Fsrp‐3 administration significantly influenced cross‐section area, satellite cell activation frequency and nuclear density of S. chuatsi muscle fibres. Following Fsrp‐3 treatment, the expression of myogenic regulatory factors was up‐regulated and decline in the expression of myostatin was observed. The study revealed that Fsrp‐3 may affect muscle growth by regulating myogenic regulatory factor expression and antagonizing myostatin function to initiate satellite cell activation and differentiation in S. chuatsi .

Joint structural and physiological control on the interannual variation in productivity in a temperate grassland: A data‐model comparison - Zhongmin Hu; Hao Shi; Kaili Cheng; Ying‐Ping Wang; Shilong Piao; Yue Li; Li Zhang; Jianyang Xia; Lei Zhou; Wenping Yuan; Steve Running; Longhui Li; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Given the important contributions of semiarid region to global land carbon cycle, accurate modeling of the interannual variability (IAV) of terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) is important but remains challenging. By decomposing GPP into leaf area index (LAI) and photosynthesis per leaf area (i.e., GPP_leaf), we investigated the IAV of GPP and the mechanisms responsible in a temperate grassland of northwestern China. We further assessed six ecosystem models for their capabilities in reproducing the observed IAV of GPP in a temperate grassland from 2004 to 2011 in China. We observed that the responses to LAI and GPP_leaf to soil water significantly contributed to IAV of GPP at the grassland ecosystem. Two of six models with prescribed LAI simulated of the observed IAV of GPP quite well, but still underestimated the variance of GPP_leaf, therefore the variance of GPP. In comparison, simulated pattern by the other four models with prognostic LAI differed significantly from the observed IAV of GPP. Only some models with prognostic LAI can capture the observed sharp decline of GPP in drought years. Further analysis indicated that accurately representing the responses of GPP_leaf and leaf stomatal conductance to soil moisture are critical for the models to reproduce the observed IAV of GPP_leaf. Our framework also identified that the contributions of LAI and GPP_leaf to the observed IAV of GPP were relatively independent. We conclude that our framework of decomposing GPP into LAI and GPP_leaf has a significant potential for facilitating future model intercomparison, benchmarking and optimization should be adopted for future data‐model comparisons.

VPS9 domain‐containing proteins are essential for autophagy and endocytosis in Pyricularia oryzae - Xue‐Ming Zhu; Shuang Liang; Huan‐Bin Shi; Jian‐Ping Lu; Bo Dong; Qian‐Sheng Liao; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Pyricularia oryzae is the causal pathogen of rice blast disease. Autophagy has been shown to play important roles in P . oryzae development and plant infection. The P. oryzae endosomal system is highly dynamic and has been shown to be associated with conidiogenesis and pathogenicity as well. To date, the crosstalk between autophagy and endocytosis has not been explored in P. oryzae . Here, we identified three P. oryzae VPS9 domain‐containing proteins, PoVps9, PoMuk1 and PoVrl1. We found that PoVps9 and PoMuk1 are localized to vesicles and are each co‐localized with PoVps21, a recognized marker of early endosomes. Deletion of PoVPS9 resulted in severe defects in endocytosis and autophagosome degradation and impaired the localization of PoVps21 to endosomes. Additionally, deletion of the PoMUK1 gene in the Δ Povps9 mutant background exhibited more severe defects in development, autophagy and endocytosis compared with the Δ Povps9 mutant. Pull‐down assay showed that PoVps9 interacts with PoVps21, PoRab11 and PoRab1, which have been verified to participate in endocytosis. Furthermore, yeast two‐hybrid and co‐immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that PoVps9 directly interacts with the GDP form of PoVps21. Thus, PoVps9 is a key protein involved in autophagy and in endocytosis.

Vertical distributions and diurnal variations of high‐molecular‐weight dissolved arsenic in the oligotrophic ocean - Chih‐Ping Lee; Chia‐Yu Cheng; Liang‐Saw Wen (Limnology and Oceanography, 2017)
Arsenic (As) has long been recognized as an environmental toxicant. Its biogeochemical cycling in the ocean is often linked to that of phosphorus (P), whose dynamics may affect the efficiency of the marine carbon pump as it relates to CO 2 absorption from the atmosphere. The chemical behavior of inorganic arsenate is similar to that of phosphate, and it is also taken up by phytoplankton or bacterioplankton in parallel with phosphate. This absorbed As is then metabolized into arsenite or methylated As and expelled through detoxification processes. However, in surface waters of the oligotrophic ocean where dissolved P is predominantly in organic forms, the regeneration and recycling processes of As remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate the first depth profiles of high‐molecular‐weight (HMW, 1 kDa‐0.4 μ m) As and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) in oligotrophic waters and their short‐term variations in the euphotic zone. HMW‐As constituted 21% ± 8% of dissolved As, whereas the high‐molecular‐weight dissolved organic phosphorus (HMW‐DOP) decreased from 74% of the total DOP at the surface to 35% at a 200 m depth. Concurrent variations of HMW‐As and HMW‐DOP in the upper euphotic zone were identified for the first time. This also provides new evidence from direct observation supporting the size‐reactivity continuum model. These temporal changes may result from light‐driven enhancement of photoheterotrophy. Overall, our results highlight the contribution of microbes to the production and assimilation of HMW materials and signify their importance in marine As and P cycles.

Environmental change and raw material selection strategies at Taoshan: a terminal Late Pleistocene to Holocene site in north‐eastern China - Shi‐Xia Yang; Yu‐Xiu Zhang; You‐Qian Li; Chao Zhao; Xiao‐Qiang Li; Jian‐Ping Yue; Ya‐Mei Hou; Cheng‐Long Deng; Ri‐Xiang Zhu; Michael D. Petraglia (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2017)
The Lesser Khingan Mountains of north‐eastern China are heavily forested, making archaeological site identification difficult owing to poor ground surface visibility. Nevertheless, several prehistoric archaeological site discoveries have been made in recent years and a limited number of excavations have been initiated. One of the most important sites to emerge is Taoshan, which has yielded stratified stone tool assemblages dating from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the mid‐Holocene. Pollen profiles indicate significant changes in vegetation, fluctuating from steppe conditions during the LGM to forested conditions in the Bølling–Allerød interstadial (B–A) and the mid‐Holocene. The stone tool assemblages from Taoshan were primarily produced from varieties of volcanic tuff, rhyolite, hornfels and agate. Geological prospecting and petrological analyses were performed to document procurement sources and changes in raw material exploitation strategies. During the LGM, the predominant raw material was vitric tuff, available from a source ca. 5–10 km from Taoshan. In the B–A and mid‐Holocene layers, emphasis was on the exploitation of raw materials in gravel bars, although stone tool reduction techniques and raw material preferences changed considerably during this time interval.

Phylogenetic relatedness explains highly interconnected and nested symbiotic networks of woody plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a Chinese subtropical forest - Liang Chen; Yong Zheng; Cheng Gao; Xiang‐Cheng Mi; Ke‐Ping Ma; Tesfaye Wubet; Liang‐Dong Guo (Molecular Ecology, 2017)
Elucidating symbiotic relationships between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ( AMF ) and plants contributes to a better understanding of their reciprocally dependent coexistence and community assembly. However, the main drivers of plant and AMF community assembly remain unclear. In this study, we examined AMF communities from 166 root samples of 17 woody plant species from 10 quadrats in a Chinese subtropical forest using 454 pyrosequencing of 18S rRNA gene to describe symbiotic AMF –plant association. Our results show the woody plant– AMF networks to be highly interconnected and nested, but in antimodular and antispecialized manners. The nonrandom pattern in the woody plant– AMF network was explained by plant and AMF phylogenies, with a tendency for a stronger phylogenetic signal by plant than AMF phylogeny. This study suggests that the phylogenetic niche conservatism in woody plants and their AMF symbionts could contribute to interdependent AMF and plant community assembly in this subtropical forest ecosystem.

MoRad6‐mediated ubiquitination pathways are essential for development and pathogenicity in Magnaporthe oryzae - Huan‐Bin Shi; Guo‐Qing Chen; Ya‐Ping Chen; Bo Dong; Jian‐Ping Lu; Xiao‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Cheng Lin (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary The ubiquitin system modulates protein functions through targeting substrates for ubiquitination. Here, E2 conjugating enzyme MoRad6‐related ubiquitination pathways are identified and analyzed in Magnaporthe oryzae , the causal agent of rice blast disease. Disruption of MoRad6 leads to severe defects in growth, sporulation, conidial germination, appressorium formation, and plant infection. To depict the functions of MoRad6, three putative ubiquitin ligases, MoRad18, MoBre1 and MoUbr1, are also characterized. Deletion of MoRad18 causes minor phenotypic changes, while MoBre1 is required for growth, conidiation and pathogenicity in M. oryzae . Defects in ΔMobre1 likely resulted from the reduction in di‐ and tri‐methylation level of Histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4). Notably, MoUbr1 is crucial for conidial adhesion and germination, possibly by degrading components of cAMP/PKA and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) Pmk1 signaling pathways via the N‐end rule pathway. Germination failure of ΔMoubr1 conidia could be rescued by elevation of cAMP level or enhanced Pmk1 phosphorylation resulting from further deletion of MoIra1, the M. oryzae homolog of yeast Ira1/2. These reveal vital effects of cAMP/PKA and MAPK Pmk1 signaling on conidial germination in M. oryzae . Altogether, our results suggest that MoRad6‐mediated ubiquitination pathways are essential for the infection‐related development and pathogenicity of M. oryzae .
