Experimental and Numerical Study of the Nonlinear Evolution of Regular Waves over a Permeable Submerged Breakwater - Ping Wang; Kezhao Fang; Gang Wang; Zhongbo Liu; Jiawen Sun (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The permeable submerged breakwater has gained popularity in recent days due to its merits of reducing incident wave energy without negatively impacting the aesthetics of the ocean view and allowing for water exchange. However, the effect of porosity on wave nonlinearity and turbulence motion close to the water/structure interface is not well resolved in the literature. This paper presents an experimental and numerical study of regular wave propagation over a permeable submerged breakwater with a wide top width. The laboratory experiments were conducted in a wave flume and included 45 test cases. The numerical simulations were performed utilizing validated olaFoam. The results show that the nonlinearity of the waves on the permeable submerged breakwater is weak, which can effectively suppress and reduce the second harmonic waves. A large amount of turbulent kinetic energy exists at the interface between the permeable submerged breakwater and the water body, which helps to dissipate wave energy. For the wider permeable submerged breakwater in this paper, the wave dissipation capacity is greatest when the porosity is between 0.2 and 0.3, and as the length of the breakwater increases, the energy transmission coefficient decreases, and the energy dissipation coefficient increases. Better wave attenuation is achieved when the permeable submerged breakwater has a certain porosity and a large width.

Interannual variation of midsummer precipitation in the middle reaches of Yarlung Zangbo River and its possible mechanisms - Cheng Yang; Qu Chi; Shunwu Zhou; Ping Wu; Lunzhu Danzeng; Yang Sun (International Journal of Climatology, 2023)
Hydroclimatic process in Yarlung Zangbo River (YZR) plays a critical role in the water cycle of the whole Tibetan Plateau (TP), but there is a lack of understanding about it due to restrictive conditions. In this study, we further investigate the interannual variation characteristics and possible factors of midsummer (July–August) precipitation in the middle reaches of YZR (MYZR) based on the monthly precipitation data from four stations (Lhasa, Xigaze, Tsedang and Gyangze) in the Inner TP and ERA5 reanalysis dataset for the years 1961–2017. The results suggest that precipitation shows no obvious linear trend during the research period but is dominated by interannual oscillation with evident cycles of 3 years. Meanwhile, the interannual variation of precipitation is related to local changes of water vapour budget. The anomalous anticyclones over the Indian Peninsula‐Southeast Asia continuously transport water vapour from the western Pacific, South China Sea and Bay of Bengal (BOB) to the TP. Simultaneously, both the monsoon low and South Asia high in southern TP provide dynamic conditions for the convergence and uplift of water vapour.

Long-term hypoxia and reoxygenation induced oxidative stress lead to immunosuppression and apoptosis in golden pompano (Trachinotus blochii) - Yue Gu; Jun Long Sun; Fu Cheng Yao; Tian Jiang; Chun Xiu Jin; Li Ping Shi; Shu Kui Sun; Fei Biao Song; Jian Luo (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The fluctuations of dissolved oxygen (DO) often lead to hypoxia in aquaculture, which has a huge adverse impact on fish. This study mainly investigated the effects of long-term hypoxia on oxidative stress, immune response, and cell apoptosis in the liver of golden pompano ( Trachinotus blochii ), which is not tolerant to hypoxia. So we conducted a 14 day low oxygen stress experiment on the golden pompano with a DO of 3.0 ± 0.2 mg/L, then restore the DO to normal levels and continue the 14 day reoxygenation experiment. Results showed that hypoxia and reoxygenation led to significant changes in liver structure. During hypoxia and reoxygenation, the expression of oxidative stress related genes ( SOD1 , SOD2 , GSH-Px , and CAT ) and levels of antioxidant enzymes (CAT and MDA) in the liver were increased. Liver lysozyme activity and the relative expression of the pro-inflammatory factors interleukin ( IL)-1β were significantly increased, but the expression of IL-34 was down-regulated during hypoxia. The expression of IL-12β was significantly increased during reoxygenation. The expression of anti-inflammatory factor IL -11 was decreased duringreoxygenation. The expression of toll like receptors ( TLRs ) -7, -8, and -9 increases after hypoxia and decreases after reoxygenation, indicating that both hypoxia and reoxygenation affect the immune response. In addition, during hypoxia and reoxygenation, TUNEL-positive signals increased, the bcl2/bax ratio decreased, the expression levels of caspases-3 and -8 were significantly up-regulated during hypoxia, and expression levels of caspases-9 was up-regulated during reoxygenation. In summary, hypoxia and reoxygenation can cause oxidative stress, induce inflammatory reactions, inhibit immune processes, activate apoptosis, and lead to liver damage of the golden pompano, which may be irreversible.

Human Amniotic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviate aGVHD after allo-HSCT by Regulating Interactions between Gut Microbiota and Intestinal Immunity - Xiaoyin Bu; Junhui Wang; Zhao Yin; Weifeng Pan; Liping Liu; Hua Jin; Qifa Liu; Lei Zheng; Haitao Sun; Ya Gao; Baohong Ping (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2023)
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation poses one of the most vexing challenges. Gut microbiota dysbiosis can proceed aGVHD and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have promising therapeutic potential for aGVHD. However, whether hAMSCs affect the gut microbiota during aGVHD mitigation remains unknown. Accordingly, we sought to define the effects and underlying mechanisms of human amniotic membrane-derived MSCs (hAMSCs) regulating the gut microbiota and intestinal immunity in aGVHD. By establishing humanized aGVHD mouse models and hAMSCs treatment, we found that hAMSCs significantly ameliorated aGVHD symptoms, reversed the immune imbalance of T cell subsets and cytokines, and restored intestinal barrier. Moreover, the diversity and composition of gut microbiota were improved upon treatment with hAMSCs. Spearman’s correlation analysis showed that there was a correlation between the gut microbiota and tight junction proteins, immune cells as well as cytokines. Our research suggested that hAMSCs alleviated aGVHD by promoting gut microbiota normalization and regulating the interactions between the gut microbiota and intestinal barrier, immunity.

Carp stocking and climate change are potentially more important factors than nutrient enrichment driving water quality deterioration in subtropical freshwater lakes in China - Haojie Su; Jianfeng Chen; Yun Li; Qingyang Rao; Congqiang Luo; Xuwei Deng; Hong Shen; Renhui Li; Jun Chen; Yuanfeng Sun; Jiamin Pan; Suhui Ma; et al. (Limnology and Oceanography, 2023)
Freshwater lakes across the world have undergone dramatic changes in biological components and water quality over the past several decades. Previous studies focused on potential drivers mainly on nutrient enrichment in the catchment. However, the relative importance of climate change and the top‐down cascade effects of fish stocking on water quality is not fully understood. Here, by compiling 155 lakes data with four periods of field investigation in subtropical lakes in China, we found no significant changes in water total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the past two decades. However, the phytoplankton abundance increased significantly, and the water clarity declined by 44.1%. We further found that carp stocking and climate change are potentially more important than nutrients driving water quality change, which is also evidenced in two lakes (Lake Donghu and Qiandao) with long‐term monitoring histories. Specifically, carp stocking can decrease the water clarity directly by stirring up sediment and indirectly by trophic cascade along the food web. For climatic factors, mean annual temperature (MAT) has a positive effect on phytoplankton abundance, while mean annual precipitation has a negative one, with climates overall having little effect on water clarity. In addition, nutrient enrichment and climate change also have strong interactions with carp stocking, which may enhance the top‐down effects on water quality. Our findings highlight that either MAT or carp stocking may become an overwhelming driver of water clarity decline, which provides new insights into the conservation strategy for water quality management in the subtropical lakes in China.

Machine learning for accelerating process‐based computation of land biogeochemical cycles - Yan Sun; Daniel S. Goll; Yuanyuan Huang; Philippe Ciais; Ying‐Ping Wang; Vladislav Bastrikov; Yilong Wang (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Global change ecology nowadays embraces ever‐growing large observational datasets (big‐data) and complex mathematical models that track hundreds of ecological processes (big‐model). The rapid advancement of the big‐data‐big‐model has reached its bottleneck: high computational requirements prevent further development of models that need to be integrated over long time‐scales to simulate the distribution of ecosystems carbon and nutrient pools and fluxes. Here, we introduce a machine‐learning acceleration (MLA) tool to tackle this grand challenge. We focus on the most resource‐consuming step in terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs): the equilibration of biogeochemical cycles (spin‐up), a prerequisite that can take up to 98% of the computational time. Through three members of the ORCHIDEE TBM family part of the IPSL Earth System Model, including versions that describe the complex interactions between nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon that do not have any analytical solution for the spin‐up, we show that an unoptimized MLA reduced the computation demand by 77%–80% for global studies via interpolating the equilibrated state of biogeochemical variables for a subset of model pixels. Despite small biases in the MLA‐derived equilibrium, the resulting impact on the predicted regional carbon balance over recent decades is minor. We expect a one‐order of magnitude lower computation demand by optimizing the choices of machine learning algorithms, their settings, and balancing the trade‐off between quality of MLA predictions and need for TBM simulations for training data generation and bias reduction. Our tool is agnostic to gridded models (beyond TBMs), compatible with existing spin‐up acceleration procedures, and opens the door to a wide variety of future applications, with complex non‐linear models benefit most from the computational efficiency.

A historical overview of water quality in the coastal seas of China - Ming Xin; Xia Sun; Lin-Ping Xie; Bao-Dong Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Using historical data, long-term variations in pollutant sources and water quality in China’s coastal waters over the last three decades are reviewed. The results show that the total area of non-clean water, which reflects state of total water quality, increased rapidly before 2000, but then underwent two stages of decline, with a modest decline by one-quarter between 2001 and 2015, followed by a sharp decline of more than half of that in 2015 since then. Consequently, water quality at present is better than it was at the beginning of the 1990s. The total area of polluted water fluctuated without any trend from the end of the 1990s until 2015, but has declined sharply by nearly two-thirds since 2015, indicating that the water quality in China’s coastal seas has improved substantially. Geographically, the Bohai Sea was the first to see a turning point in water quality, followed by the Yellow Sea and East China Sea, while the South China Sea was the last. The main pollutants that govern the water quality grade and area are dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphate as well as petroleum hydrocarbons. As a response to variations in water quality, changes in both the frequency and total area affected by harmful algal blooms were similar to those of water quality over the last three decades, albeit with a slight lag. Analysis showed that variations in water quality were closely related to the land- and sea-sourced pollutant inputs. The combination of shift in the mode of economic growth from high-speed growth to high-quality development and the enforcement of the new, strictest ever Environmental Protection Law resulted in a significant decline of pollutant emissions, inducing a turning point in the water quality in the coastal seas of China in the mid-2010s.

Incidence and Risk Factors for Dysphagia Following Cerebellar Stroke: a Retrospective Cohort Study - Li Huang; Yunlu Wang; Jikang Sun; Lequn Zhu; Jimin Liu; Yuwei Wu; Chunlei Shan; Juntao Yan; Ping Wan (The Cerebellum, 2023)
The cerebellum is known to play a supportive role in swallowing-related functions; however, wide discrepancies about the incidence rate of swallowing disorders following cerebellar strokes exist within the literature. This study aimed to investigate the incidence rate of dysphagia and the factors which may affect the presence of dysphagia and clinical recovery in individuals diagnosed with cerebellar stroke. A retrospective chart audit of 1651 post-stroke patients (1049 males and 602 females) admitted with a cerebellar stroke to a comprehensive tertiary hospital in China was conducted. Data on demographics, medical, along with swallowing function assessment were collected. Differences between dysphagic and non-dysphagic groups were evaluated using t -tests and Pearson’s chi-square test. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to establish factors associated with the presence of dysphagia. A total of 11.45% of participants were identified with dysphagia during inpatient admission. Individuals with mixed types of stroke, multiple lesions in the cerebellum, and ages older than 85 years old were more likely to develop dysphagia. Moreover, the prognosis of dysphagia following a cerebellar stroke was associated with lesions in different parts of the cerebellum. The cumulative recovery rates from the best to worse were the right hemisphere group, the cerebellum vermis or peduncle group, and both the hemisphere group and the left hemisphere group, respectively.

Melatonin inhibits senescence-associated melanin pigmentation through the p53-TYR pathway in human primary melanocytes and the skin of C57BL/6 J mice after UVB irradiation - Li-Ping Ma; Meng-Meng Liu; Fang Liu; Bo Sun; Si-Nian Wang; Jie Chen; Hui-Jie Yu; Juan Yan; Mei Tian; Ling Gao; Qing-Jie Liu (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2023)
UVB exposure accelerates skin aging and pigmentation. Melatonin effectively regulates tyrosinase (TYR) activity and aging. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between premature senescence and pigmentation, and the mechanism of melanin synthesis effected by melatonin. Primary melanocytes were extracted and identified from the male foreskin. To inhibit TYR expression, primary melanocytes were transduced with the lentivirus pLKD-CMV-EGFP-2A-Puro-U6-TYR. The wild-type TYR ( + / + ) and TYR (–/–) or TYR ( + /–) knockout C57BL/6 J mice were used to determine the role of TYR on melanin synthesis in vivo. Results showed that UVB-induced melanin synthesis is dependent on TYR in primary melanocytes and mice. Furthermore, in primary melanocytes pretreated with Nutlin-3 or PFT-α to up or downregulate p53, results showed that premature senescence and melanin synthesis increased in primary melanocytes after UVB irradiation at 80 mJ/cm 2 , and further increased after being treated with Nutlin-3, while significantly decreased with PFT-α. In addition, melatonin inhibited UVB-induced premature senescence associated with inactivation of p53 and phosphorylation of p53 on Ser15 (ser-15), a decrease of melanin synthesis accompanied by reduced TYR expression. Moreover, skin erythema and pigmentation induced by UVB were reduced in the dorsal and ear skin of mice topically pretreated with 2.5% melatonin. These indicate that melatonin inhibits UVB-induced senescence-associated pigmentation via the p53-TYR pathway in primary melanocytes and prevents pigmentation obviously in the dorsal and ear skin of C57BL/6 J mice after UVB irradiation. Key messages P53 links UVB irradiation-induced senescence and senescence-associated pigmentation and regulates TYR in primary melanocytes after UVB irradiation. Melatonin inhibits senescence-associated pigmentation through the p53-TYR pathway in primary melanocytes. Melatonin prevents skin erythema and melanin pigmentation induced by UVB irradiation in the dorsal and ear skin of C57BL/6J mice.

Therefore, this study adopted run theory and the objective identification method of regional extreme events (OITREE) and then carried out the comprehensive feature identification of multidimensional elements such as intensity, duration and area of meteorological drought events based on the daily standardized effective precipitation and drought index (SWAP) sequence of Guangxi from 1979 to 2018a. By comparing the evolutionary characteristics of drought elements identified by grid SWAP statistical analysis and OITREE, an integrated optimization scheme combining the accuracy of grid analysis and area identification is formed in this study. It was confirmed that the above two analysis methods had good correlation and consistency in revealing the evolution process of multidimensional elements of drought events. In terms of the frequency of drought events over a long period of time and the comprehensive characteristics of each element, the identification results of the OITREE method can better reveal the comprehensive characteristics of drought in Guangxi. Furthermore, the study found that flash droughts and seasonal droughts occurred alternately and were superimposed concurrently in Guangxi, and there were significant differences in the multidimensional spatial and temporal characteristics of these two types of droughts. Specifically, the frequency of flash drought was 1.60–4.00 times·(a) −1 , the duration varied from 20 to 60 days·(a) −1 and the concentration point of drought had a region‐wide dispersion; while the frequency of seasonal drought was 0.82–1.65 times·(a) −1 , the duration varied from 40–105 days·(a) −1 and the concentration point of drought had a local concentration. The research results can provide effective scientific support for operational drought refined forecast and early warning, and smart regulation of drought disaster risk.

Excessive iodine induces thyroid follicular epithelial cells apoptosis by activating HIF-1α-mediated hypoxia pathway in Hashimoto thyroiditis - Lili Zhang; Xiaojing Sun; Lin Liu; Ping Wang; Linxue Qian (Molecular Biology Reports, 2023)
Background Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is considered the most common autoimmune thyroid disease. A growing body of evidence suggests that HT incidence correlates with excessive iodine intake. We should probe the effects of excessive iodine intake in HT development and its possible mechanism. Methods and results The study recruited 20 patients: 10 with HT and 10 with nodular goiter. We detected the expression of an apoptosis-related protein caspase-3 by immunohistochemistry. In vitro study, we explored the proliferation and apoptosis status in thyroid follicular cells (TFCs) stimulated with different iodine concentrations by MTT and flow cytometry. Then we performed RNA sequence analysis of Nthy-ori3-1 cells treated for 48 h with KI to probe the underlying mechanism. Finally, we used RT-PCR and siRNA interference to verify the results. We identified apoptosis in thyroid tissue obtained from HT patients coincides with the increase of caspase-3 levels. In vitro study, iodine suppressed proliferation of TFCs and promoted TFCs apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner with regulating caspase-3 activation. HIF-1α-NDRG1 mediated hypoxia pathway activation promoted the transmission of essential apoptosis signals in TFCs. Conclusion Our study confirmed that excessive iodine adsorption activates the HIF-1α-mediated hypoxia pathway to promote apoptosis of TFCs, which may be an important risk factor contributing to HT development.

The effects of organic matter and anaerobic oxidation of methane on the microbial sulfate reduction in cold seeps - Tiantian Sun; Daidai Wu; Nengyou Wu; Ping Yin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Cold seep sediments are dominated by intensive microbial sulfate reduction coupled to anaerobic oxidation of methane. However, the contribution proportion between this process and the role of organic matter has remained enigmatic. Here, pore water data combined with PROFILE model, fluxes of sulfate and methane concentration calculated from Fick's first law, and δ 34 S SO4 and δ 18 O SO4 of pore water sulfate were studied to reconstruct co-occurring microbial organoclastic sulfate reduction and anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled with sulfate reduction in methane seep sediments collected from South China Sea. The sulfate concentration profiles of C9 and C14 in Qiongdongnan Basin generally show quasilinear depletion with depth. Reaction-transport modeling provided close fits to concentration data. δ 18 O SO4 and δ 34 S SO4 increase fastest with sediment depth above 400 cmbsf and slowest below that depth. The values of methane flux are always lower than those of total sulfate reduction of sulfate diffusive flux at GC-10, GC-9, GC-11 and HD319 sites in Taixinan Basin. Besides, positions of sulfate methane transition zone in all study sites are approximately ~400 to 800 centimeters below seafloor. These results showed that microbial sulfate reduction in sediments is mainly controlled by intense anaerobic oxidation of methane, but there is a certain relationship with organic matter metabolism process. This emphasizes that traditional redox order of bacterial respiration is highly simplified, where, in sediments such as these seeps, all of these microbial sulfate reduction processes can occur together with complex couplings between them.

New field observation on distribution, turnover, and sea–air flux of three dimethylated sulfur compounds (dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate, and dimethylsulfoxide) in the western tropical Indian Ocean (WTIO; 4°N–10°S, 61°–65°E) were conducted under the major Global Change and Air–Sea Interaction Program during the 2021/2022 Northeast Monsoon (December 21, 2021 to January 11, 2022). Significantly high surface concentrations of DMS were identified in the region of the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR; 5°–10°S). This occurred because the shallow thermocline/nitracline and associated upwelling fueled biological production of DMS in the subsurface, which was brought to the surface through vertical mixing. The calculated sea–air DMS flux was also significantly strong in the SCTR region during the Northeast Monsoon owing to combination of high wind speed and high surface concentration of DMS. This finding is similar to results obtained previously during the Southwest Monsoon, suggesting that the SCTR region is an area of active DMS emission during both the Northeast Monsoon and the Southwest Monsoon. Microbial consumption was the dominant pathway of DMS removal, accounting for 74.4% of the total, whereas the processes of photolysis (17.7%) and ventilation (7.9%) were less important. Future work should be undertaken in the WTIO to establish how DMS emission is linked to aerosol properties and climate change.

Halorarius litoreus gen. nov., sp. nov., Halorarius halobius sp. nov., Haloglomus halophilum sp. nov., Haloglomus salinum sp. nov., and Natronomonas marina sp. nov., extremely halophilic archaea isolated from tidal flat and marine solar salt - Ya-Ping Sun; Bei-Bei Wang; Zhang-Ping Wu; Xi-Wen Zheng; Jing Hou; Heng-Lin Cui (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Five novel halophilic archaeal strains, named BND22 T , ZY10 T , ZY41 T , ZY58 T , and ZY43 T , were isolated from the coastal saline sediment of the intertidal zone located in Qingdao and the natural sea salt produced from Huanghua marine solar saltern, PRChina. These five strains demonstrated the typical morphology and growth characteristics of haloarchaea. The comparison of 16S rRNA gene revealed that strain BDN22 T was associated with Salinirubellus salinus ZS-35-S2 T (95.2% similarity), strain ZY10 T was related to Halosegnis rubeus F17-44 T (95.1% similarity), both strains ZY41 T and ZY58 T were closely related to Haloglomus irregulare F16-60 T (98.1% and 98.2% similarities, respectively), and strain ZY43 T was close to Natronomonas salina YPL13 T (98.0% similarity). In addition to the 16S rRNA gene, the rpoB′ gene is undoubtedly another important molecular marker for the identification of halophilic archaea, and concatenated-conserved-protein phylogeny was widely used in archaeal classification in recent years. Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses based on rpoB′ genes and 122 concatenated archaeal protein genes showed that these haloarchaea construct three different clades and gathered together with the current members of Haloarculaceae . Strains BND22 T and ZY10 T formed two distinct clades separated from Salinirubellus salinus ZS-35-S2 T and Halosegnis members, strains ZY41 T and ZY58 T clustered with Haloglomus irregulare F16-60 T , and strain ZY43 T gathered with the current members of Natronomonas. The ANI, DDH, and AAI values of these five strains against phylogenetic neighbours were no more than 91%, 45%, and 92%, respectively, far below the cut-off values for species delineation, supporting their placements in new taxa. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, and phylogenomic properties, these five strains represent five novel taxa of the family Haloarculaceae , Halorarius litoreus gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain BND22 T = CGMCC 1.18780 T = JCM 34966 T ), Halorarius halobius sp. nov. (type strain ZY10 T = CGMCC 1.17475 T = JCM 34319 T ), Haloglomus halophilum sp. nov. (type strain ZY41 T = CGMCC 1.17030 T = JCM 34161 T ), Haloglomus salinum sp. nov. (type strain ZY58 T = CGMCC 1.17216 T = JCM 34163 T ), and Natronomonas marina sp. nov. (type strain ZY43 T = CGMCC 1.17202 T = JCM 34162 T ). This is the first report of description of a novel haloarchaeon isolated from a marine intertidal zone.

Improving the CFSv2 prediction of the Indian Ocean Dipole based on a physical‐empirical model and a deep‐learning approach - Ping Chen; Bo Sun; Huijun Wang; Lianmei Yang (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Despite significant advances in seasonal climate forecasts, the reliability of both dynamical and empirical models for the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) prediction is still limited to a lead time of one season or less. In this study, the skill of the NCEP Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2) for the IOD prediction during the period 1982–2014 is evaluated. The results indicate that the model performance for the IOD prediction is the worst in spring among the four seasons, which is manifested in the fact that a skilful prediction of spring IOD event is limited to a lead time of only about 1–2 months. To improve the forecast of spring IOD events, a physical‐empirical (PE) model and a convolutional neural network (CNN) model are established in the present study. The IOD in April–May–June (AMJ) is taken as the predictand, and the CFSv2‐predicted sea surface height (SSH) in AMJ and the observed Laptev sea ice in the preceding December are used as the two predictors. The original CFSv2‐predicted IOD time series has an insignificant correlation with the observed IOD time series with a temporal correlation coefficient (TCC) of 0.03; the PE model (CNN model) can largely improve the IOD prediction with a TCC of 0.74 (0.77) between the PE‐model‐predicted (CNN‐model‐predicted) IOD and the observed IOD during AMJ. Thus, the PE model and the CNN model developed in the present study can be applied to improve the IOD predictions from numerical models in the future.

Species richness, relative abundance and occupancy of ground-dwelling mammals denote the ineffectiveness of chimpanzee as flagship species - Ping Sun; Prosper Umuntunundi; Torsten Wronski (Mammalian Biology, 2022)
In conservation biology, flagship species are defined as species that can raise support for biodiversity conservation in a given place or social context. In the newly established Gishwati–Mukura National Park in Rwanda, the Eastern chimpanzee was considered such an ambassador. To test whether the flagship species concept was effective in the park, we studied species richness, relative abundance, and species distribution (occupancy) of medium- to large-sized, ground-dwelling mammals using camera trapping technology. The impact of three environmental and three anthropogenic variables on species distribution was investigated and the ecological diversity of the fauna in the national park assessed. Over a period of 9 months, two 4 × 4 camera trapping grids were deployed in Gishwati and Mukura Forest. Sampling effort in each forest equated to 32 and 29 camera trapping locations, yielding 258 and 242 independent photographic events of eight and six species, respectively. In both forests, the Emin's giant poached rat was the most frequently encountered species, while all other species showed high relative abundance only in Gishwati Forest. The relative abundance of the endangered Eastern chimpanzee in Gishwati Forest was 0.54, the estimated occupancy was 0.31. Single-species, single-season occupancy models revealed that forest cover, altitude and distance to forest edge influenced the detectability of L'Hoest's monkey and squirrel species, while no effect was found on their occupancy. Notably, no larger herbivore or carnivore species were observed in the park, while the flagship species, i.e., the Eastern chimpanzee, was relatively abundant. Moreover, in both forests, all detected carnivores were small- to medium-sized, suggesting a meso-predator release phenomenon, i.e., populations of medium-sized predators increased after the removal of larger, top carnivores, due to relaxed competition. It appears that the prioritization of the flagship species resulted in the neglect of other mammalian species, leading eventually into the demise of entire functional guilds. Based on these results, the Gishwati–Mukura NP was categorized as a ‘depleted forest’. We, therefore, strongly object chimpanzees as a suitable flagship species—at least in the Gishwati–Mukura NP—and recommend collating more knowledge on the release of meso-predators and the loss of forest ungulates to improve their future conservation in Afro-montane forest habitats.

Identification of the glutamine synthetase (GS) gene family in four wheat species and functional analysis of Ta4D.GSe in Arabidopsis thaliana - Huayan Yin; Qian Sun; Xiaoqing Lu; Lufei Zhang; Yanchao Yuan; Cuiling Gong; Xiaoyan He; Wujun Ma; Ping Mu (Plant Molecular Biology, 2022)
Drought stress can negatively impact crop yield and quality. Improving wheat yields under drought stress is a major objective of agronomic research. Glutamine synthetase (GS) is a key enzyme of nitrogen metabolism that is critical to plant growth and development in abiotic stress response. However, to date, no systemic characterization of the GS genes has yet been conducted in wheat and its close relatives. We identified a total of 15 GS genes in Triticum aestivum (2n = 6x = 42; AABBDD), as well as 9 GS genes in Triticum dicoccoides (2n = 4x = 28; AABB), 6 in Aegilops tauschii (2n = 2x = 14; DD), and 5 in Triticum urartu (2n = 2x = 14; AA). The 35 GSs were further clustered into five lineages according to the phylogenetic tree. Synteny analysis revealed that the three subgenomes in bread wheat retained extensive synteny between bread wheat and its three relative species. We identified three up-regulated TaGSs ( Ta4A.GSe , Ta4B.GSe , and Ta4D.GSe ) from transcriptome data after drought and salt stress. Ta4D.GSe was subsequently used for further functional studies, and its subcellular localization were determined in Arabidopsis protoplasts. Its overexpression in Arabidopsis enhanced drought tolerance by increasing the ability of scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and osmotic adjustment. We identified GS gene family in four wheat species and performed comparative analyses of their relationships, chromosome locations, conserved motif, gene structure, and synteny. The subcellular localization of Ta4D.GSe was detected and its drought tolerance function was demonstrated. Taken together, these findings provide insight into the potential functional roles of the GS genes in abiotic stress tolerance. Key message This report clearly shows detailed characterization of GS gene family in four wheat species and demonstrates that Ta4D.GSe plays an important role in enhancing drought tolerance by improving the scavenging of ROS and osmotic adjustment ability in Arabidopsis .

Feasibility Studies of Nebulized SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody in Mice and Cynomolgus Monkeys - Jilei Jia; Zhaojuan Yin; Xiao Zhang; Huimin Li; Dan Meng; Qianqian Liu; Hongfang Wang; Meng Han; Shixiang Suo; Yan Liu; Ping Hu; Chunyun Sun; et al. (Pharmaceutical Research, 2022)
Purpose Neutralizing antibodies, administrated through intravenous infusion, have shown to be highly efficacious in treating mild and moderate COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lung. However, antibodies do not transport across the plasma-lung barrier efficiently, and up to 100 mg/kg dose was used in human causing significant supply and cost burdens. This study was to explore the feasibility of nebulized antibodies inhalation delivery as an alternative route. Methods HB27, a potent RBD-specific humanized monoclonal antibody (Zhu et al. in National Sci Rev. 8:nwaa297, 2020), showed excellent protection against SARS-CoV-2 in animal model and good safety profile in clinical studies. The pharmacokinetics and preliminary safety of HB27 administrated through the respiratory tract were studied in mice and cynomolgus monkeys here. Results At a single 5 mg/kg dose, the peak HB27 concentration in mice pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) reached 857.8 μg/mL, 670-fold higher than the PRNT 90 value of 1.28 μg/mL, and maintained above PRNT 90 over 240 h. In contrast, when administrated by intravenous injection at a 5 mg/kg dose, the antibody concentrations in mice ELF were below PRNT 90 value throughout, and were about 50-fold lower than that in the serum. In cynomolgus monkeys administrated with a single dose through inhalation, the antibody concentration in ELF remained high within 3 days. No drug-related safety concerns were observed in the studies. Conclusions The study demonstrated that nebulized neutralizing antibody delivery though inhalation could be a more efficient and efficacious alternative approach for treating COVID-19 and other respiratory infectious diseases, and warrants further evaluation in clinical studies.

Formation Control of Multiple Underactuated Surface Vessels with a Disturbance Observer - Zhiyuan Sun; Hanbing Sun; Ping Li; Jin Zou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
To maintain the formation of underactuated surface vessels (USVs), this study designs a formation controller based on a virtual structure strategy. The problem of formation control is transformed into the problems of tracking the USV position and the virtual structure point position. Meanwhile, to eliminate the effects of model parameter uncertainties and external environment disturbances on USV tracking control, a compensation control algorithm based on disturbance estimation is proposed. The Lyapunov theorem is introduced to ensure that the trajectory tracking error of the proposed control algorithm eventually converges to any small region, which confirms global stability of the designed tracking error. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed controller can eliminate the effect of external uncertain interference and maintain the formation of multiple USVs.

Sandstorms cause shrinkage of Haloxylon ammodendron shrubs and limit their self-renewal - Sheng-bo Shi; Dang-wei Zhou; Fang-lin Wang; Rui Shi; Tao Sun; Tian-cai Li; Jia-lin Ma; Xiang Wan; Jian-ping Ma; Jing-nian Tang (Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology, 2022)
Haloxylon ammodendron is an excellent windproof and sand-fixing species whose shrubs are widely cultivated in arid desert areas of northwest China but are now at risk of degradation and shrinkage. Using the chlorophyll fluorescence image analysis technique, the response of photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency and non-photochemical quenching capacity to sediment-carrying wind and sand-free wind (both 12 m s −1 ) lasting for 10, 20, and 40 min were studied with seedlings in a wind tunnel. The results indicated that the sand-free wind had little influence on the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry, F v / F m , which was approximately 0.80 on average; however, the F v / F m decreased over exposure time in the sediment-carrying wind group, with values smaller than those in the wind-only group. The non-photochemical quenching was sensitive to wind erosion, and sediment-carrying wind could aggravate the reduction in non-photochemical quenching ( NPQ ). Except for the 10 min duration, the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry after dark recovery for 15 min, F v r / F m r , was lower in seedlings exposed to sediment-carrying wind than in those in the wind-only group. Compared to wind-only, wind-blown sand led to a water imbalance and withering in seedlings, causing the concentration of photosynthetic pigments (when based on the fresh mass of green branches) to not decrease. With a longer exposure time to sediment-carrying wind, both the probability and extent of lignified spots occurring increased in green assimilative branches. Our results demonstrated that sediment-carrying wind at 12 m s −1 lasting for 20 min or more could cause irreversible damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of H. ammodendron seedlings. Therefore, frequent and strong sandstorms are the main disturbance factors leading to shrinkage of shrubs and limiting their self-renewal.

Improved and Flexible HDR Editing by Targeting Introns in iPSCs - Juan Fu; Ya-Wen Fu; Juan-Juan Zhao; Zhi-Xue Yang; Si-Ang Li; Guo-Hua Li; Zi-Jun Quan; Feng Zhang; Jian-Ping Zhang; Xiao-Bing Zhang; Chang-Kai Sun (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2022)
Highly efficient gene knockout (KO) editing of CRISPR–Cas9 has been achieved in iPSCs, whereas homology-directed repair (HDR)-mediated precise gene knock-in (KI) and high-level expression are still bottlenecks for the clinical applications of iPSCs. Here, we developed a novel editing strategy that targets introns. By targeting the intron before the stop codon, this approach tolerates reading frameshift mutations caused by nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ)-mediated indels, thereby maintaining gene integrity without damaging the non-HDR-edited allele. Furthermore, to increase the flexibility and screen for the best intron-targeting sgRNA, we designed an HDR donor with an artificial intron in place of the endogenous intron. The presence of artificial introns, particularly an intron that carries an enhancer element, significantly increased the reporter expression levels in iPSCs compared to the intron-deleted control. In addition, a combination of the small molecules M3814 and trichostatin A (TSA) significantly improves HDR efficiency by inhibiting NHEJ. These results should find applications in gene therapy and basic research, such as creating reporter cell lines.
