Identification of New Transcription Factors that Can Promote Pluripotent Reprogramming - Ping Huang; Jieying Zhu; Yu Liu; Guihuan Liu; Ran Zhang; Dongwei Li; Duanqing Pei; Ping Zhu (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2021)
Background Four transcription factors, Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (the Yamanka factors), can reprogram somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Many studies have provided a number of alternative combinations to the non-Yamanaka factors. However, it is clear that many additional transcription factors that can generate iPSCs remain to be discovered. Methods The chromatin accessibility and transcriptional level of human embryonic stem cells and human urine cells were compared by Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify potential reprogramming factors. Selected transcription factors were employed to reprogram urine cells, and the reprogramming efficiency was measured. Urine-derived iPSCs were detected for pluripotency by Immunofluorescence, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, RNA sequencing and teratoma formation test. Finally, we assessed the differentiation potential of the new iPSCs to cardiomyocytes in vitro. Results ATAC-seq and RNA-seq datasets predicted TEAD2, TEAD4 and ZIC3 as potential factors involved in urine cell reprogramming. Transfection of TEAD2, TEAD4 and ZIC3 (in the presence of Yamanaka factors) significantly improved the reprogramming efficiency of urine cells. We confirmed that the newly generated iPSCs possessed pluripotency characteristics similar to normal H1 embryonic stem cells. We also confirmed that the new iPSCs could differentiate to functional cardiomyocytes. Conclusions In conclusion, TEAD2, TEAD4 and ZIC3 can increase the efficiency of reprogramming human urine cells into iPSCs, and provides a new stem cell sources for the clinical application and modeling of cardiovascular disease.

The Innate Immune Response to Infection by Polyascus gregaria in the Male Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis), Revealed by Proteomic Analysis - Yanping Yang; Fengjiao Ma; Juanjuan Dong; Lianxing Li; Ping Ren; Yuning Zhang; Yatao Wu; Yinping Wang; Kai Liu; Fang Zhang (Fishes, 2021)
The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a representative catadromous invertebrate of the Yangtze River and a commercial species widely cultivated in China. Both cultivated and wild crabs suffer from a variety of parasites and pathogens, which can result in catastrophic economic losses in aquaculture revenue. Polyascus gregaria, a parasitic barnacle with a highly derived morphology, is specialized in invading these crabs. This study examines the immunological mechanism in E. sinensis infected with P. gregaria. Tandem mass tags (TMT), a specialized method of mass-spectrometry, was used to analyze the infection by P. gregaria resistance at the protein level. In the hepatopancreas of infected crabs, 598 proteins differentially expressed relating to physiological change, of which, 352 were upregulated and 246 were downregulated. Based on this differential protein expression, 104 GO terms and 13 KEGG pathways were significantly enriched. Differentially expressed proteins, such as ATG, cathepsin, serpin, iron-related protein, Rab family, integrin, and lectin, are associated with the lysosome GO term and the autophagy-animal KEGG pathways, both of which likely relate to the immune response to the parasitic P. gregaria infection. These results show the benefit of taking a detailed, protein-level approach to understanding the innate immune response of aquatic invertebrates to macroparasite infection.

Heat stress inhibits TLR4-NF-κB and TLR4-TBK1 signaling pathways in broilers infected with Salmonella Typhimurium - Wei-Hao Li; Yi-Lei Liu; Jian-Chi Lun; Yong-Ming He; Lu-Ping Tang (International Journal of Biometeorology, 2021)
With the global warming, the harm of heat stress (HS) to the breeding industry has become more common, which causes the decline of animal production performance and low immunity. This study aimed to analyze the effect of HS on the intestinal immune function of Salmonella- infected chickens. Fourteen-day-old broilers were divided into the following four groups of eight replicates: control (Control), heat stress (HS), Salmonella Typhimurium (ST), and heat stress + Salmonella Typhimurium (HS+ST). The broilers were subjected to a heat stress of 35 °C from 15 to 28 days of age. Salmonella Typhimurium (ST, 14028, 10 9 cfu/mL) was inoculated, via oral administration at 29 days of age, into ST and HS+ST group birds. On the 4th day after Salmonella Typhimurium administration, an increase in jejunum IgA levels was observed in chickens infected with Salmonella Typhimurium. Mechanistic regulation of TLR4-NFκB-NLRP3 and TLR4-TBK1 signaling by heat stress was evaluated in Salmonella Typhimurium–infected broilers. Heat stress markedly inhibited the expression of cytokines including TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, NLRP3, caspase-1, NF-κB-p65, and p-NF-κB-p65, and the TLR4-TBK1 cytokines IFN-α, IFN-γ, p-IRF3, and p-TBK1 in jejunum of broilers infected with Salmonella Typhimurium. Collectively, our results demonstrate that heat stress can inhibit intestinal immune response by downregulating the expression of TLR4-NFκB-NLRP3 and TLR4-TBK1 signaling pathways in broilers infected with Salmonella Typhimurium.

Vanillic acid combats Vibrio alginolyticus by cell membrane damage and biofilm reduction - Huan Liu; Miao Xiao; Jing Zuo; Xiaoxian He; Ping Lu; Yingyu Li; Yanni Zhao; Fei Xia (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Antibiotics are the most powerful weapon against bacterial infectious diseases in aquaculture. However, the indiscriminate usage of antibiotics often culminates in the emerging development of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, making it imperative to search for novel types of antimicrobial agents. This study investigated the antibacterial and antivirulence effects of vanillic acid (VA) against the fish pathogen, Vibrio alginolyticus . We showed that VA had a good anti‐ Vibrio activity with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.0 mg/ml. In addition, VA wielded its antibacterial action in a dose‐/time‐dependent manner by causing cell membrane damage and increasing membrane permeability, which is evidenced by increasing the conductivity and malondialdehyde content in the treated cell cultures and the scanning electron microscopy images. Furthermore, VA significantly reduced the biofilm‐forming capability, mobility and exotoxin production (protease and exopolysaccharide) and downregulation of the expression of biofilm‐ and virulence‐associated genes ( sypG , fliS , fliK , lafA , lafK , asp and luxR ) was seen in the V. alginolyticus that exposed to VA at subinhibitory concentrations. Overall, our findings suggested that VA may be of interest for treating V. alginolyticus ‐associated infections in aquaculture.

Effects of Low Temperature on Shrimp and Crab Physiology, Behavior, and Growth: A Review - Xianyun Ren; Qiong Wang; Huixin Shao; Yao Xu; Ping Liu; Jian Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
As important aquaculture species worldwide, shrimps and crabs are thermophilic animals with a feeble thermoregulation ability. Changes in environmental factors are the main reason for the decrease in the immunity and disease resistance ability of cultured organisms. Water temperature is one of the most common abiotic stress factors for aquatic ectotherms. It influences nearly all biochemical and physiological processes in crustaceans, resulting in an imbalance in ion and water homeostasis, neuromuscular function loss, cellular dehydration, and altered metabolic pathways. The present review summarizes the current knowledge on the effects of low temperature on the physiological response, and the behavior, development, and growth of shrimp and crab. We suggest a deeper research to understand the physiological processes involved in thermoregulation; this knowledge could be used to reduce the adverse effects in the shrimps and crabs during the culture.

Comparative Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analysis of Exopalaemon carinicauda in Response to Alkalinity Stress - Zhen Qin; Qianqian Ge; Jiajia Wang; Mingdong Li; Ping Liu; Jian Li; Jitao Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Saline-alkaline waters are stressful environments where most aquatic animals can’t survive normally, and alkalinity is one of the key limited environmental factors. Due to strong adaptability to environment, the ridgetail white prawn Exopalaemon carinicauda is a potential good species suitable for large-scale culture in saline-alkaline waters. Exploring its alkaline adaptability mechanism will help to guide more marine crustaceans to saline-alkaline culture. In this study, an integrative analysis of the gill-specific transcriptome and proteome at 0, 12, and 36 h after alkalinity stress was performed to identify important regulators and pathways involved in alkalinity adaption of E. carinicauda . A total of 3,157 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 443 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified at 12 and 36 h compared with 0 h. Base on the transcriptome analysis, the Gene Ontology (GO) enriched terms were mainly related to ion transport, including “calcium-transporting ATPase activity,” “ATPase coupled ion transmembrane transporter activity,” “divalent inorganic cation transmembrane transporter activity,” etc., and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways mainly refer to the processes of endocrine system at both 12, and 36 h. Based on the proteomic analysis, KEGG pathways related to lipolysis and amino acids metabolism were significantly enriched at 12 h, and carbohydrate metabolism and immune response were significantly enriched at 36 h. There were significantly up-regulated expressions of ion transport related genes including aquaporin, carbonic anhydrase, ammonium transporter Rh type A-like, Na + /H + -exchanger, etc., as well as ion transport proteins including V-type proton ATPase 116 kDa subunit a-like isoform X1, sodium-potassium ATPase beta, vesicle associated membrane protein, etc. after alkalinity exposure, which indicating their important roles in response to alkalinity stress. The results of integrated analysis between proteome and transcriptome showed that up-regulated DEG/DEP (aldehyde dehydrogenase) was significantly enriched at 12 h and the up-regulated DEG/DEP (peptidylglycine alpha) was significantly enriched at 36 h, suggesting the two molecules may be critical in response to alkalinity change. This study reveals the first time-course, gill-specific, combined transcriptomic and proteomic profiling associated with alkalinity adaption of E. carinicauda and provides new insights into the mechanisms underlying the molecular response to alkalinity stress in shrimp.

Ship Deficiency Data of Port State Control to Identify Hidden Risk of Target Ship - Jian-Hung Shen; Chung-Ping Liu; Ki-Yin Chang; Yung-Wei Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
In the new inspection regime (NIR) of port state control (PSC), the criteria for being judged as a standard risk ship (SRS) is too broad. Some ships are classified as SRS even though they have a large number of ship deficiencies. This paper develops a selection system to identify the hidden risk of target ships in the SRS category using PSC inspection records. This system allows the target ship to be used to help reduce cases of flags being greylisted or blacklisted, which can cause huge shipping losses. This study analyzes ship deficiency data in the Tokyo memorandum of understanding (Tokyo MoU) database. It adopts the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) model as a data processing technique to build a risk assessment scale. It uses fuzzy importance performance analysis (F-IPA) and technology for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) for its analysis. Subsequently, the weights of F-IPA and TOPSIS are adopted into the MCDM model. This article also consulted the Tokyo MoU database. It has been verified that the next time PSC inspection, the system hits 83.3% of the hidden risk ships in the SRS category. Thus, this system will help inspectors be more insightful for target ships.

Liquid–Solid Flow Characteristics in Vertical Swirling Hydraulic Transportation with Tangential Jet Inlet - Jiyang Qi; Jie Yin; Fei Yan; Ping Liu; Tieli Wang; Chen Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
In order to improve the efficiency and safety of vertical hydraulic transport systems for non-spherical particles, a new pipeline transport system with a tangential jet inlet is adopted in this study, and a modified non-spherical drag coefficient model is used to analyze the liquid–solid flow characteristics based on the CFD-DEM (Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method) coupling method. The focus of the study is on the influence of different tangential flow proportions in terms of the velocity distribution, the vorticity, the total pressure, the concentration and drag force of particles of various shapes. The conveying efficiency is measured according to the fluid velocity distribution and the particle concentration, and the safety of conveying is evaluated according to the flow structure and drag force of the particles. The result shows that the velocity of the swirling pipes is significantly higher than the straight pipe. With the increase of the tangential flow proportion, the swirling number and the vorticity magnitude increase, and the vortex core is broken and merged more quickly. Furthermore, the concentration gap and axial drag force gap between particles of various shapes are reduced with the effect of swirling flow, the particle concentration increases, and the particles of each component are uniformly mixed and transported.

A Modified Approach of Extracting Landfast Ice Edge Based on Sentinel-1A InSAR Coherence Image in the Gulf of Bothnia - Zhiyong Wang; Zihao Wang; Hao Li; Ping Ni; Jian Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Landfast ice is an integral component of the coastal ecosystem. Extracting the edge and mapping the extent of landfast ice are one of the main methods for studying ice changes. In this work, a standardized process for extracting landfast ice edge in the Baltic Sea using the InSAR coherence image is established with Sentinel-1 radar data and InSAR technology. A modified approach combining multiscale segmentation and morphological erosion is then proposed to provide a reliable way to extract landfast ice edge. Firstly, the coherence image is obtained using InSAR technology. Then, the edge is separated and extracted with the modified approach. The modified approach is essentially a four-step procedure involving image segmentation, median filter, morphological erosion, and rejection of small patches. Finally, the full extent of landfast ice can be obtained using floodfill algorithm. Multiple InSAR image pairs of Sentinel-1A acquired from 2018 to 2019 are utilized to successfully extract the landfast ice edge in the Gulf of Bothnia. The results show that the landfast ice edge and the extents obtained by the proposed approach are visually consistent with those shown in the ice chart issued by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) over a coastline length of 345 km. The mean distance between land–water boundary and the coastline issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is 109.1 m. The modified approach obviously preserves more details in local edge than the reference method. The experimental results show that the modified approach proposed in this paper can extract the edge and map the extent of landfast ice more accurately and quickly, and is therefore expected to contribute to the further understanding and analyzing the changes of landfast ice in the future.

Modulation of Antioxidant Enzymes, Heat Shock Protein, and Intestinal Microbiota of Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea) Under Acute Cold Stress - Huirong Lv; Yanli Liu; Haidong Li; Xiaolong Yin; Ping Wang; Xiaoyu Qu; Yang Gao; Weiye Li; Zhangjie Chu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The experiment was conducted in a sealed, temperature-controlled room. The initial water temperature of the treatment group was 12°C, lowered by 1°C a day to 8°C using a chiller, and maintained at that temperature for 3 days. The water temperature was then increased by 1°C per day to 12°C using a heater. The control group were the fish that kept at 12°C at the beginning of the experiment; T1 represents the group that sampled on the first day when the water temperature reached 8 from 12°C; T2 represents the group that sampled when the fish had been kept at 8°C for 3 days; T3 represents the group sampled when the water temperature was increased to 12 from 8°C. The antioxidant abilities of the liver, muscle, and intestine of large yellow croaker at different temperatures and times were determined, and the expression of HSP70 and HSP90 in the liver as well as the changes in intestinal microbiota were investigated. The results showed that the activities of SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, and MDA content increased significantly when the water temperature decreased from 12 to 8°C, significantly higher than those in the control group. The gene expression levels of HSP70 and HSP90 in the liver of large yellow croaker significantly increased under low temperature stress and were significantly higher than those in the control group. The diversity and abundance of intestinal microbiota of large yellow croaker were altered when the water temperature was maintained at 8°C, although the change was not obvious. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were the dominate phyla in both the 12 and 8°C groups, and the temperature variation did not change the functional pathways of the microbiota. In conclusion, the acute temperature variation affected the antioxidant ability and heat shock protein expression of large yellow croaker but did not affect the diversity or abundance of the intestinal microbiota. These results will provide a theoretical basis for studying the mechanisms of large yellow croaker overwintering and adaptation to low temperatures.

Long‐term nitrogen input alters plant and soil bacterial, but not fungal beta diversity in a semiarid grassland - Weixing Liu; Lingli Liu; Xian Yang; Meifeng Deng; Zhou Wang; Pandeng Wang; Sen Yang; Ping Li; Ziyang Peng; Lu Yang; Lin Jiang (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input is known to alter plant and microbial α‐diversity, but how N enrichment influences β‐diversity of plant and microbial communities remains poorly understood. Using a long‐term multilevel N addition experiment in a temperate steppe, we show that plant, soil bacterial and fungal communities exhibited different responses in their β‐diversity to N input. Plant β‐diversity decreased linearly as N addition increased, as a result of increased directional environmental filtering, where soil environmental properties largely explained variation in plant β‐diversity. Soil bacterial β‐diversity first increased then decreased with increasing N input, which was best explained by corresponding changes in soil environmental heterogeneity. Soil fungal β‐diversity, however, remained largely unchanged across the N gradient, with plant β‐diversity, soil environmental properties, and heterogeneity together explaining an insignificant fraction of variation in fungal β‐diversity, reflecting the importance of stochastic community assembly. Our study demonstrates the divergent effect of N enrichment on the assembly of plant, soil bacterial and fungal communities, emphasizing the need to examine closely associated fundamental components (i.e., plants and microorganisms) of ecosystems to gain a more complete understanding of ecological consequences of anthropogenic N enrichment.

Increasing Temperature Alters the Effects of Extracellular Copper on Thalassiosira Pseudonana Physiology and Transcription - Xinjie Wang; Wang Cao; Hong Du; Wenhua Liu; Ping Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Copper (Cu) is essential for many physiological processes in phytoplankton, including electron-transfer reactions and high-affinity Fe transport systems. However, at high concentrations, Cu can have a toxic effect on phytoplankton. Phytoplankton’s tolerance to certain toxicants in marine ecosystems cannot always be solely attributed to the presence of compounds, as various environmental factors including temperature can also indirectly influence their effects on organisms. In this study, we investigated the effects of different Cu concentrations (0, 19.6, 160, 800, and 8000 nM) on the growth and physiological changes in the centric diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana (CCMP 1335) when simultaneously applied with temperature cultivation of 20 °C and 25 °C. At low (0 nM) and high (8000 nM) Cu concentrations, the growth rate of T. pseudonana was inhibited, though an increase in temperature lessened this inhibition. There were no significant changes in the POC:PON ratio during all of the treatments. However, increasing the temperature significantly decreased the POC: POP, PON: POP and BSi: POP ratios of T. pseudonana. The intracellular Cu content of T. pseudonana varied from 0.13 to 13.28 fg cell−1 in response to increases in ambient Cu concentrations. Lastly, an increase in the Cu concentration decreased the transcriptional expression of CTR (copper transporter), 3Hfcp (photosynthetic protein), and Sit1 (silica shell formation) encoding genes. In conclusion, our results indicated that T. pseudonana can adapt to physiological processes and molecular mechanisms in response to varying Cu concentrations and ambient temperatures.

Sleep disorders in patients with end-stage renal disease are common but have rarely been reported in previous studies. Therefore, we examined the prevalence of sleep disorders and the risk factors for declining sleep quality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). A multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted at five PD centers across different provinces in China. A total of 449 patients who underwent PD between March to November 2013 were enrolled. Demographic data, laboratory indicators, presence of depression, and sleep assessment data were collected. Sleep questionnaires reflecting five categories of sleep disorders, namely, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, excessive daytime sleepiness, possible narcolepsy, and sleepwalking and nightmares, were administered at baseline and at 24 months postoperatively. Sleep disorders were diagnosed when a patient had at least one sleep problem. At baseline, 335 (74.6%) patients had at least one type of sleep disorder. Depression, diabetes mellitus (DM), and male were found to be associated with the presence of a sleep disorder. At follow-up, the prevalence of insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and excessive daytime sleepiness had significantly increased in 285 patients. Furthermore, cardiovascular disease (CVD) was found to be associated with the presence of sleep disorders in patients with one or more disorders at baseline, whereas a low serum albumin level was found to be associated with sleep disorders in patients without any sleep disorders at baseline. The prevalence of sleep disorders was relatively high among PD patients at baseline and increased afterthe2-year follow-up. Depression, DM, and male were associated with all sleep disorders at baseline. CVD was associated with the presence of a sleep disorder at baseline and worse sleep quality at the 2-year follow-up; whereas a low serum albumin level was associated with the risk of acquiring a sleep disorder at the 2-year follow-up among patients with normal sleep status at baseline.

Investigation of potential safety hazards during medical waste disposal in SARS-CoV-2 testing laboratory - Jun Lv; Jin Yang; Juan Xue; Ping Zhu; Lanfang Liu; Shan Li (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021)
This study aims to investigate the potential safety hazards and provide reference for improving the medical waste disposal procedure in SARS-CoV-2 testing laboratory. Our SARS-CoV-2 testing group detected the RNA residue on the surface of medical waste with Droplet Digital PCR, and held a meeting to discuss the risks in the laboratory medical waste disposal process. After effective autoclaving, SARS-CoV-2 contaminated on the surface of medical waste bags was killed, but the average concentration of viral RNA residues was still 0.85 copies/cm 2 . It would not pose a health risk, but might contaminate the laboratory and affect the test results. When the sterilized medical waste bags were transferred directly by the operators without hand disinfection, re-contamination would happen, which might cause the virus to leak out of the laboratory. Furthermore, we found that sterilization effect monitoring and cooperation among operators were also very important. In summary, we investigated and analyzed the potential safety hazards during the medical waste disposal process in SARS-CoV-2 testing laboratory, and provided reasonable suggestions to ensure the safety of medical waste disposal.

Antifungal Effect of Long Noncoding RNA 9708-1 in the Vulvovaginal Candidiasis Murine Model - Ying Wu; Lisha Jiang; Lingling Zhang; Xia Liu; Lina Yan; Ting Luan; Can Rui; Zhiyuan Mao; Chong Fan; Yu Liu; Ping Li; Xin Zeng (Mycopathologia, 2021)
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) caused by Candida spp. affects 70–75% of women at least once during their lives. We aim to elucidate the potential mechanism of VVC and investigate the therapeutic effects of long noncoding RNA 9708-1. Female BALB/c mice were randomized to four treatment groups, including the blank control group, VVC control group, vehicle control group and lncRNA 9708-1-overexpressed group. Mice were euthanized on Day 4, Day 7 and Day 14 after treatment. Colony-forming unit (CFU) was measured, and the inflammation was detected by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Gene and protein expression levels of lncRNA 9708-1 and FAK were determined by real-time PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. The overexpression of lncRNA 9708-1 significantly decreased the fungal load from Day 4 to 7. H&E staining indicated that the impaired histological profiles were improved in lncRNA 9708-1-overexpressed group. LncRNA 9708-1 led to a significant increase in FAK level of vagina tissue which is expressed mainly in epithelial basal layer. This study suggests that lncRNA 9708-1 played a protective role on murine experimental VVC by upregulating the expression levels of FAK.

Synergistic Action of Plants and Microorganism in Integrated Floating Bed on Eutrophic Brackish Water Purification in Coastal Estuary Areas - Ming Liu; Youyuan Chen; Yadong Wu; Jiameng Guo; Ping Sun; Zhiming Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Eutrophic water bodies in coastal estuary areas usually show saline-alkaline characteristics influenced by tides. The purification performance of traditional planted floating beds in this water body is limited because of the poor growth of plants. A novel integrated floating bed with plants ( Iris pseudoacorus ), fillers (volcanic rocks and zeolites), and microbes named PFM was established, and the pollutant removal performance was studied. Results showed that the average ammonia nitrogen (NH 4 + -N), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and permanganate index (COD Mn ) removal efficiencies of PFM were higher with the value of 81.9, 78.5, 53.7, and 72.4%, respectively, when compared with the other floating beds containing plants (P), fillers (F), microbes (M), and plants and fillers (PF) in this study. Therein, the most of NH 4 + -N (30.1%), TN (27.9%), TP (22.5%), and COD Mn (43.6%) were removed by microbes, higher than those removed by plants and fillers. Analysis of the microbial community revealed that the establishment of PFM led to a higher microbial richness than M, and Acinetobacter , as the main microbes with the function of salt tolerance and denitrification, were dominated in PFM with a relative abundance of 6.8%. It was inferred that the plants and fillers might enrich more salt-tolerance microbes for pollutants removal, and microbes favored the growth of plants via degradation of macromolecular substrates. Synergistic actions in the process of eutrophic brackish water purification were established. This study provided an idea for the application of integrated floating bed in eutrophic and brackish water bodies purification in coastal estuary areas.

Influence of land surface aridification on regional monsoon precipitation in East Asian summer monsoon transition zone - Yulong Ren; Ping Yue; Qiang Zhang; Xiaoyun Liu (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2021)
The East Asia summer monsoon transition zone, a unique area of transition from humid monsoon to arid continental climate, has the most prominent aridification in the world, and has experienced land surface aridification (LSA) in recent years. To investigate the influence of LSA on regional monsoon precipitation, two numerical experiments were run for vegetation degradation over a long period (30 years). Then, precipitation variation of different magnitudes was analyzed. After that, the mechanism of LSA influence on precipitation was studied. The results show that aridification reduced average summer precipitation by 5%. Additionally, LSA considerably changed the frequency of precipitation. Unlike aridification in North Africa caused by albedo variation, LSA in our study area mainly reduced surface thermal capacity, increased surface temperature, sharply increased the transport of surface sensible heat, and raised the atmospheric convective boundary layer. This reduces atmospheric moist static energy, which is not conducive to the generation of precipitation. LSA also increases the surface landscape gradient, local horizontal gradient of land surface turbulent flux, and probability of heavy convective precipitation. This paper reveals the mechanism by which land surface anomalies affect precipitation, which lays a foundation for follow-up studies.

Responses of phytoplankton communities to the effect of internal wave‐powered upwelling - Lingqi Ma; Wupeng Xiao; Edward A. Laws; Xiaolin Bai; Kuo‐Ping Chiang; Xin Liu; Jixin Chen; Bangqin Huang (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Upwelling and internal waves are known to affect the physical and chemical characteristics of marine ecosystems, yet the processes and mechanisms by which internal waves influence phytoplankton biomass and community composition in upwelling regions are still unclear. In this study, a 72‐h time series of observations was conducted in an upwelling system in the northern South China Sea during the summer of 2014. The results showed that the intensity of upwelling was affected by internal waves, which caused nutrient fluctuations in the upper water column. The phytoplankton total chlorophyll a responded positively to the increase of nutrient concentrations, but only after a time lag of 12–16 h. This overall response was the net result of four different types of responses displayed by nine specific phytoplankton groups. All groups that displayed immediate positive responses continued to respond positively at least 12 h later, whereas all groups that responded negatively showed no time‐lagged responses. Based on the vertical distributions of the nine phytoplankton groups and their known physiological traits, we suggest that these different types of response were the net result of a rapid physical transport effect and a time‐lagged, physiological effect via bottom‐up control.

Comparison of Long-Term Outcomes of Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Catheter Evacuation for the Treatment of Spontaneous Cerebellar Hemorrhage - Leiyang Li; Haixiao Liu; Jianing Luo; Zhijun Tan; Junmei Gao; Ping Wang; Wenting Jing; Ruixi Fan; Xiaoyang Zhang; Hao Guo; Hao Bai; Wenxing Cui; et al. (Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Recently, minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic evacuation and minimally invasive catheter (MIC) evacuation, have been used for the treatment of patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (SCH). However, credible evidence is still needed to validate the effects of these techniques. To explore the long-term outcomes of both surgical techniques in the treatment of SCH. Fifty-two patients with SCH who received endoscopic evacuation or MIC evacuation were retrospectively reviewed. Six-month mortality and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the effects of the different surgical techniques on patient outcomes. In the present study, the mortality rate for the entire cohort was 34.6%. Univariate analysis showed that the surgical technique and preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score affected 6-month mortality. However, no variables were found to be correlated with 6-month mRS scores. Further multivariate analysis demonstrated that 6-month mortality in the endoscopic evacuation group was significantly lower than that in the MIC evacuation group (OR = 4.346, 95% CI 1.056 to 17.886). The 6-month mortality rate in the preoperative GCS 9–14 group was significantly lower than that in the GCS 3–8 group (OR = 7.328, 95% CI 1.723 to 31.170). Compared with MIC evacuation, endoscopic evacuation significantly decreased 6-month mortality in SCH patients. These preliminary results warrant further large, prospective, randomized studies.

Key message We applied the phylogenomics to clarify the concept of rice species, aid in the identification and use of rice germplasms, and support rice biodiversity. Abstract Rice (genus Oryza ) is one of the most important crops in the world, supporting half of the world’s population. Breeding of high-yielding and quality cultivars relies on genetic resources from both cultivated and wild species, which are collected and maintained in seed banks. Unfortunately, numerous seeds are mislabeled due to taxonomic issues or misidentifications. Here, we applied the phylogenomics of 58 complete chloroplast genomes and two hypervariable nuclear genes to determine species identity in rice seeds. Twenty-one Oryza species were identified. Conspecific relationships were determined between O. glaberrima and O. barthii , O. glumipatula and O. longistaminata , O. grandiglumis and O. alta , O. meyeriana and O. granulata , O. minuta and O. malampuzhaensis , O. nivara and O. sativa subsp. indica , and O. sativa subsp. japonica and O. rufipogon. D and L genome types were not found and the H genome type was extinct. Importantly, we evaluated the performance of four conventional plant DNA barcodes ( matK , rbcL , psbA-trnH , and ITS), six rice-specific chloroplast DNA barcodes ( psaJ - rpl33 , trnC-rpoB , rps16 - trnQ , rpl22-rps19 , trnK - matK , and ndhC-trnV ), two rice-specific nuclear DNA barcodes (NP78 and R22), and a chloroplast genome super DNA barcode. The latter was the most reliable marker. The six rice-specific chloroplast barcodes revealed that 17% of the 53 seed accessions from rice seed banks or field collections were mislabeled. These results are expected to clarify the concept of rice species, aid in the identification and use of rice germplasms, and support rice biodiversity.

How well do the ERA‐Interim , ERA ‐5, GLDAS ‐2.1 and NCEP‐R2 reanalysis datasets represent daily air temperature over the Tibetan Plateau? - Li Liu; Haiting Gu; Jingkai Xie; Yue‐Ping Xu (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Snow and glacier are important components in the hydrological cycle of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Air temperature, as the main driver in freezing and thawing processes, becomes vital for hydrological modelling and prediction in this region. Due to a sparse ground gauging network, spatial density of air temperature measurement is insufficient for hydro‐meteorological studies. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the best representative temperature data for hydrological applications from four widely used reanalysis products, including ERA‐Interim, ERA‐5, GLDAS‐2.1 and NCEP‐R2, with reference to in situ measurements and gridded snow depth from the year 2008–2017 over the entire TP. To reduce errors, Bayesian Joint Probability (BJP) approach based on K‐Nearest Neighbour (KNN) classification algorithm (KNN‐BJP) is proposed to post‐process gridded reanalyses. The results indicate that all the reanalysis datasets provide highly correlated but cold biased air temperature. The correlation ecoefficiency is greater than 0.85. The cold biases are near −3 ° C and mainly distributed in the southeastern TP. Bias in daily maximum temperature during Spring is greater than −8 ° C for most stations. ERA‐Interim is found to have the closest agreement with in situ measurements, closely followed by GLDAS‐2.1. KNN‐BJP is found to be effective within a distance smaller than 5° . After post‐processing, the prominent underestimation is efficiently corrected with Bias near 0. RMSE is markedly reduced to be smaller than 2.5 ° C . The post‐processed ERA‐5 and GLDAS‐2.1 are as accurate as ERA‐Interim, but able to provide more detailed information for extreme events due to their finer spatial resolution. Thus, ERA‐5 and GLDAS‐2.1 are more recommended to represent air temperature in the TP. Snow depth as complementary reference data is able to present spatial variance of air temperature. Our study can help alleviate the problem of sparse air temperature data over the TP.

Development and current state of seawater shrimp farming, with an emphasis on integrated multi‐trophic pond aquaculture farms, in China – a review - Zhi‐Qiang Chang; Amir Neori; Yu‐Ying He; Ji‐Tao Li; Ling Qiao; Steven Ian Preston; Ping Liu; Jian Li (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020)
Shrimp farming has been the fastest‐growing sector in seawater aquaculture and has contributed to improving the farmers income and the utilization efficiency of aquaculture resources in China. The shrimp industry has deployed ever‐improved and innovated methods, from extensive farming to semi‐intensive and intensive farming. Various high‐density intensive culture models, such as high‐land, greenhouse and indoor industrialized culture models, have been used for shrimp pond farming in the coastal area. However, efficiency, environmental and social considerations have led to an increasing adoption of the environmentally‐friendly culture model called integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA). This has occurred most rapidly along the northern and central coasts of China. The deployed IMTA culture models reviewed here are shrimp + crab, shrimp + fish, shrimp + sea cucumber, shrimp + jellyfish + clam, shrimp + crab + clam, shrimp + crab + clam + fish and the ridgetail white shrimp polyculture in saline alkaline water, which have been tailored to local conditions and organisms' characteristics. Suitable organism varieties and the maintenance of suitable eco‐friendly water quality have been key to success. The eco‐friendly IMTA culture models described here fully exploit the pond culture resources, to increase production with minimal additional feed and labor inputs, while reducing effluent emissions and treatment cost. The performance of shrimp IMTA models is compared to shrimp monoculture models regarding the economics. An equally important outcome of this publication is making generally accessible the findings from a vast Chinese scientific literature on shrimp culture that has hitherto been unavailable in English.
