Association of mitochondrial DNA variation with high myopia in a Han Chinese population - Shilai Xing; Siyi Jiang; Siyu Wang; Peng Lin; Haojun Sun; Hui Peng; Jiaying Yang; Hengte Kong; Sheng Wang; Qingshi Bai; Ruowen Qiu; Wei Dai; et al. (Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2023)
High myopia (HM), which is characterized by oxidative stress, is one of the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness across the world. Family and population genetic studies have uncovered nuclear-genome variants in proteins functioned in the mitochondria. However, whether mitochondrial DNA mutations are involved in HM remains unexplored. Here, we performed the first large-scale whole-mitochondrial genome study in 9613 HM cases and 9606 control subjects of Han Chinese ancestry for identifying HM-associated mitochondrial variants. The single-variant association analysis identified nine novel genetic variants associated with HM reaching the entire mitochondrial wide significance level, including rs370378529 in ND2 with an odds ratio (OR) of 5.25. Interestingly, eight out of nine variants were predominantly located in related sub-haplogroups, i.e. m.5261G > A in B4b1c, m.12280A > G in G2a4, m.7912G > A in D4a3b, m.94G > A in D4e1, m.14857 T > C in D4e3, m.14280A > G in D5a2, m.16272A > G in G2a4, m.8718A > G in M71 and F1a3, indicating that the sub-haplogroup background can increase the susceptible risk for high myopia. The polygenic risk score analysis of the target and validation cohorts indicated a high accuracy for predicting HM with mtDNA variants (AUC = 0.641). Cumulatively, our findings highlight the critical roles of mitochondrial variants in untangling the genetic etiology of HM.

Cofilin-1 induces acute kidney injury via the promotion of endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated ferroptosis - Sihao Lin; Jie Wang; Bin Cao; Yang Huang; Xujun Sheng; Yingjian Zhu (Human Cell, 2023)
Ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) leads to acute kidney injury (AKI), which poses serious threat to public health and society. Many clinical studies were conducted to evaluate several biomarkers in AKI, among which Cofilin-1 remains to be a very promising one. To explore the potential mechanism of Cofilin-1 in AKI, we established an oxygen-glucose-deprivation (OGD)-induced AKI cell model. The overexpression and knock-down Cofilin-1 were used for gain- and loss-of-function. Pharmacological inhibitors were employed to study the related pathways. The results showed that Cofilin-1 was significantly upregulated in AKI cells, knocking down Cofilin-1 protected cells against the effect of OGD treatment and alleviated AKI phenotypes. Overexpression of Cofilin-1 might induce AKI by triggering ferroptosis, inhibiting NF-κB signaling or ER stress pathway attenuated Cofilin-1 induced lipid peroxidation and AKI. We also validated our findings in IRI-induced AKI mouse models in vivo. Our work elucidated that Cofilin-1 might induce AKI via promoting ER stress-mediated ferroptosis and argues it as a biomarker for early diagnosis of AKI. We also expect to offer novel insights on future therapeutic interventions.

Captive Reproductive Behavior, Spawning, and Early Development of White-Barred Goby Amblygobius phalaena (Valenciennes, 1837) and Examined Larval Survival and Viability at Different Water Temperatures and Salinities - Pei-Sheng Chiu; Shine-Wei Ho; Cheng-Hsuan Huang; Yen-Chun Lee; Yu-Hung Lin (Fishes, 2023)
White-barred goby Amblygobius phalaena is a highly valued marine ornamental fish, but its captive reproduction and early life history are poorly understood. In this study, the captive reproductive behavior, early development, and optimal temperature and salinity for the larval survival and viability of A. phalaena were investigated for the first time. Spawning occurred between 11:00 and 13:00, with the breeding pairs naturally spawning 24 times from 1 June 2021 to 30 June 2022. The fecundity ranged from 11,022 to 95,858 eggs per spawning event. Hatching occurred approximately 81 h and 26 min after fertilization at a temperature of 27.0 ± 0.9 °C. Newly hatched larvae had a total length (TL) of 1.91–2.03 mm with 24–26 somites. The larvae transformed into juveniles at 30 days post-hatch. Experiments were conducted at different temperatures (21, 24, 27, 30, and 33 °C) and salinities (18, 24, 30, and 36 ppt) to determine the optimal conditions for larval survival and viability. The results indicate that the most suitable conditions in terms of temperature were in the range of 21–27 °C and 30 ppt for salinity. These findings provide valuable insights for the future development of captive-breeding techniques and the commercial production of other marine ornamental gobies.

Graphical Abstract

Assessment of Wave–Current-Induced Liquefaction under Twin Pipelines Using the Coupling Model - Jiayi Zhang; Lin Cui; Hualing Zhai; Dong-Sheng Jeng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Although twin pipelines in series have been used to transport hydrocarbons in engineering practice, most previous studies focused on the dynamic response of the seabed around a single pipeline. A two-way coupling model of fluid–structure–seabed interaction (FSSI) is proposed for the study of the soil response and liquefaction caused by waves and currents around twin pipelines. The present model integrates the flow model and the seabed model by introducing a boundary condition of velocity continuity in addition to the continuity of pressures at the seabed surface. Then, the inconsistency between the physical process and numerical simulation can be overcome in the one-way coupling model. Through a series of numerical simulations, the influence of different flow characteristics, soil properties, and pipeline configurations on the seabed response under the two-way coupling process were explored, and compared with the results of the single pipeline. The numerical results indicate that the twin pipeline configuration significantly alters the relevant responses compared to the single pipeline configuration, including the after-consolidation state, amplitude of velocity at the seabed surface, and distribution of pore pressure in the seabed. The parametric studies show that the amplitudes of the wave and current have significant impacts on the distribution of pore pressure in the seabed. The pore pressure in the seabed increases with the increase of forward wave current, while the results of reverse wave current are the opposite. In addition, the liquefaction range around the pipeline increases with the increase of Hw and Tw, and increases with the decrease of Sr and ks. At the same time, the gaps (G) and the ratio of pipe radius (R1/R2) between the twin pipelines also significantly affect the seabed response and liquefaction distribution around the pipeline.

Phylogenetic divergence associated with climate oscillations and topology illustrates the dispersal history of Formosan sambar deer (Rusa unicolor swinhoii) in Taiwan - Kuan-Yi Li; Chen Hsiao; Shih-Ching Yen; Chien-Yi Hung; You-Zhu Lin; Sheng-Wun Jheng; Pei-Ju Yu; Mei-Hsiu Hwang; Guo-Jing Weng; Ku-Lin Chen; Shu-Fen Lin; Shih-Wei Chang; et al. (Mammal Research, 2023)
The island of Taiwan represents an ideal context for studying the effects of climatic oscillations and topographic variation on large herbivores due to its varied tropical to sub-tropical climate zones at different elevational ranges. We explored the phylogenetics of Formosan sambar deer ( Rusa unicolor swinhoii ) using the control region of the mitochondrial genome. We detected 18 haplotypes among 454 sequences across the island and grouped them into six regions based on SAMOVA, with 68.78% variance among regions. A Bayesian phylogenetic dendrogram revealed two spatially segregated genetic clades. Neutrality tests and Bayesian skyline plots uncovered different demographic expansion histories for the two clades. We further tested divergence times and chronology to propose potential phylogenetic scenarios, which were examined using approximate Bayesian computation. Finally, we present a credible hypothesis for a glacial refugium in the northern part of the Central Mountain Range. Subsequent secondary contact between the two clades during interglacial periods has led to the extant genetic structure of Formosan sambar deer.

Environmental quality mediates the ecological dominance of cooperatively breeding birds - Yu‐Heng Lin; Ying‐Yu Chen; Dustin R. Rubenstein; Ming Liu; Mark Liu; Sheng‐Feng Shen (Ecology Letters, 2023)
Although social species as diverse as humans and ants are among the most abundant organisms on Earth, animals cooperate and form groups for many reasons. How these different reasons for grouping affect a species' ecological dominance remains unknown. Here we use a theoretical model to demonstrate that the different fitness benefits that animals receive by forming groups depend on the quality of their environment, which in turn impacts their ecological dominance and resilience to global change. We then test the model's key predictions using phylogenetic comparative analysis of >6500 bird species. As predicted, we find that cooperative breeders occurring in harsh and fluctuating environments have larger ranges and greater abundances than non‐cooperative breeders, but cooperative breeders occurring in benign and stable environments do not. Using our model, we further show that social species living in harsh and fluctuating environments will be less vulnerable to climate change than non‐social species.

Integrated Model for Wave-Induced Oscillatory and Residual Soil Response in a Poro-Elastic Seabed: Partially Dynamic Model - Zhipeng Wan; Lin Cui; Dong-Sheng Jeng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The evaluation of wave-induced residual pore pressure in a porous seabed and associated seabed liquefaction is essential for designing marine infrastructure foundations. The strength and stiffness of the seabed could be weakened due to the build-up of pore pressures under cyclic wave action, further leading to residual liquefaction. Existing models for residual liquefaction are limited to the quasi-static uncoupled approaches, which do not account for the effect of oscillatory pore pressure on the accumulative pore pressure acceleration of solid particles, despite the mutual influence of these two mechanisms. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a new model for residual soil response with u−p approximation (partial dynamic model) that couples oscillatory and residual mechanisms. The proposed model is validated through wave flume tests and centrifuge tests. Based on the coupling model, a new criterion of liquefaction integrating both oscillatory and residual mechanisms is also proposed. Numerical examples demonstrate that the coupling effect significantly affects the wave-induced seabed liquefaction potential. Furthermore, a new parameter (Ω) representing the ratio of oscillatory and residual pore pressure is introduced to clarify which mechanism dominates the pore pressure development.

Duplicate genes as sources for rapid adaptive evolution of sperm under environmental pollution in tree sparrow - Shengnan Wang; Yingmei Zhang; Wenzhi Yang; Yue Shen; Zhaocun Lin; Sheng Zhang; Gang Song (Molecular Ecology, 2023)
Environmental pollution can result in poor sperm quality either directly or indirectly in birds. However, adaptive and compensatory sperm morphology changes and motility improvements have rapidly evolved in tree sparrows ( Passer montanus ) inhabiting polluted areas over the past 65 years. To identify the genetic underpinnings of the rapidly evolving sperm phenotype, we carried out population genomics and transcriptomics on tree sparrow populations in the two differently polluted places. We identified a gene encoding the serine/threonine protein kinase PIM1, which may drive rapid phenotypic evolution of sperm. An unprecedented and remarkable expansion of the PIM gene family, caused by tandem and segmental duplication of PIM1 , was subsequently observed in the tree sparrow genome. Most PIM1 duplicates showed a testis‐specific expression pattern, suggesting that their functions are related to male reproduction. Furthermore, the elevated expression level of PIM1 was consistent with our earlier findings of longer and faster swimming sperm in polluted sites, indicating an important role for duplicated PIM1 in facilitating the rapid evolution of sperm. Our results suggest that duplicated PIM1 provides sources of genetic variation that may enable the rapid evolution of sperm under environmental heavy metal pollution. The findings of this study indicated that duplicated genes can be targets of selection and predominant sources for rapid adaptation to environmental change and shed light on sperm evolution under pollution stress.

Interactions between Surface Waves, Tides, and Storm-Induced Currents over Shelf Waters of the Northwest Atlantic - Shangfei Lin; Jinyu Sheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
A coupled wave–tide–circulation model is used to investigate wave–current interactions (WCIs) over the shelf waters of the Northwest Atlantic (NWA) during Hurricane Earl (2010). WCIs have substantial impacts on hydrodynamics in the upper ocean. The significant wave heights are modulated by WCIs, particularly over regions with strong current gradients, with a reduction up to ~2.1 m (20%) during the storm. Noticeable decreases in surface elevations and tidal currents occur in regions with strong tides such as the Gulf of Maine, mainly due to the wave-enhanced bottom stress. Over regions with weak tidal currents, wave effects on currents are dominated by two competitive processes between wave-induced forces and wave-enhanced mixing. The former strengthens surface currents (up to ~0.55 m/s) and increases the peak storm surge (up to ~0.48 m). The latter is responsible for the reduction in storm-induced surface currents (up to ~0.94 m/s) and anticyclonic modulation of current directions. Vertically, WCIs extend the strong vertical current shear and shift it downward during the storm, which enhances the local mixing and changes the structures of near-inertial oscillations (NIOs). Moreover, tidal currents also change the magnitudes of the NIOs and subtidal currents and affect the intensity of WCIs.

Identification and Characterization of Bacillus subtilis B9: A Diazotrophic Plant Growth-Promoting Endophytic Bacterium Isolated from Sugarcane Root - Yi-ning Di; Ling Kui; Pratiksha Singh; Lu-feng Liu; Lin-yan Xie; Li-lian He; Fu-sheng Li (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2023)
Plant endophytic microorganisms, which can enhance plant growth and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, are untapped resources with large potential applications for crop production. However, the endophytic community is influenced by multiple factors, such as host genetics, the environment, and other microbes. Thus, it is important to characterize well-adapted endophytes from native crops. We isolated 43 endophytic bacteria from sugarcane cultivar Yunzhe-99-91. All these 43 isolates were examined in vitro for nitrogenase activity and the ability to dissolve phosphorus and produce siderophore. One of these strains, B9, identified as Bacillus subtilis and showed maximum plant growth promotion, was selected for detailed studies. B9 promoted the production of organic acids such as propionic acid, acetic acid, malic acid and citric acid, and the production of phytohormones, including indole-3-acetic acid, cytokinin, 6-benzyladenine, and zeatin. Moreover, B9 significantly promoted the growth of sugarcane plantlets and increased the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the seedlings by 29.26%, 50.78%, and 15.49%, respectively. The photosynthetic rate, root development, and chlorophyll content were also improved with varying degrees compared to the non-inoculated control. The cotyledon and hypocotyl of sugarcane gems germinated faster when co-cultured with the B9 strain compared with control group. Colonization assay showed that B9 was mainly colonized in the roots, followed by the stems and leaves. In conclusion, the positive interaction between endophytic strain B9 and sugarcane may provide long-lasting benefits and a direction for developing and utilizing B9 as a biofertilizer for sugarcane cultivation to decrease fertilizer application.

Girdin acts as an oncogene in gastric cancer by regulating AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling - Yun Wang; Qiang Fu; Yun-jian Tao; Sheng-nan Ying; Heng-gao Zhong; Yue Zhu; Xiao-han Qian; Lin Miao; Li-hua Yang (Functional & Integrative Genomics, 2023)
ThE present work focused on exploring Girdin expression within gastric cancer (GC), examining the effect of Girdin on the cell phenotype of GC, and clarifying the underlying mechanisms. Girdin expression in GC samples was identified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assays. Girdin-targeting siRNAs were transfected into GC cells; later, we examined GC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis, respectively. Additionally, the protein expression was examined through Western blotting assay. Moreover, the tumor implantation experiment was conducted for examining Girdin knockdown in vivo. The results showed that Girdin expression elevated within GC samples, which was associated with the dismal prognostic outcome. Girdin knockdown suppressed GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and enhanced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Girdin promoted the phosphorylation of AKT, GSK3β, and β-catenin. Moreover, Girdin inhibited the phosphorylation of β-catenin. Girdin suppressed cell apoptosis and stimulated cell migration and invasion, while AKT inhibitor (MK2206) treatment reversed the effect of Girdin overexpression, and GSK3β inhibitor (CHIR99021) treatment enhanced the effect of Girdin overexpression on GC cells. Besides, Girdin delayed tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, Girdin was abnormally expressed in GC samples, which promoted the development of GC by regulating AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling.

Coral reef resilience persisted for a millennium but has declined rapidly in recent decades - Ting Zhang; Tianran Chen; Sheng Liu; Xianzhi Lin; Shu Li; Wen Yan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The lack of long-term records of coral community composition restricts our understanding of the contemporary ecological states of tropical reefs. Here we integrated paleo-ecological reconstruction, historical mortality evidence, and ecological survey data to determine the temporal variability in reef resilience of the Nansha atolls in the tropical western Pacific. Subfossil coral assemblages extracted from the reef cores exhibited no evidence of community shifts attributable to centennial-scale changes in El Niño variability during the last millennium, suggesting long-term stability in community structure and persistence of reef resilience. By contrast, ecological surveys revealed a major collapse in the reef ecosystem, and high-precision U-series dating of dead Acropora fragments indicated that this collapse occurred in recent decades and was especially relevant to several strong/extreme El Niño episodes. Frequent and intensive El Niño−Southern Oscillation and marine heatwaves have overwhelmed the reefs’ resistive and recovery capacity, thereby impairing reef resilience.

Mechanism of oceanic eddies in modulating the sea surface temperature response to a strong typhoon in the western North Pacific - Sheng Lin; Wen-Zhou Zhang; Yuntao Wang; Fei Chai (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Eddies are ubiquitous mesoscale dynamics in oceans worldwide that prominently influence the upper ocean. Specifically, the presence of preexisting eddies can modulate oceanic responses to passing typhoons, for which the underlying mechanism requires further investigation. In 2013, Typhoon Soulik traveled over 2,000 km in the western North Pacific, encountering multiple eddies, offering a suitable opportunity for investigating the impact of eddies on typhoon-induced upper ocean responses. A coupled ocean-atmosphere model was developed for this event, and the simulations were validated with multiple observations. The surface cold wake after Typhoon Soulik was successfully reproduced by the coupled model, showing a multicore structure, which was due to the preexisting mesoscale cyclonic eddies along the typhoon path. An experimental case excluding eddies was also tested in the numerical model. The comparison between the control and experimental cases revealed that sea surface cooling was enhanced by eddies via the vertical mixing and horizontal advection of eddy-related currents. In particular, vertical mixing enhanced sea surface cooling beneath the typhoon center due to the stronger vertical stratification within the preexisting cyclonic oceanic eddies. The eddy-related current with a horizontal temperature gradient contributed to advection, enhancing sea surface cooling at the cooling center and leading to a rightward-shifted pattern of enhanced sea surface cooling. This study enriches the understanding of the complex upper ocean dynamics under the combined effects of typhoons and eddies.

The emergence of prolonged deadly humid heatwaves - Xiang‐Sheng Wang; Lei He; Xiao‐Hu Ma; Qiang Bie; Lin Luo; You‐Cai Xiong; Jian‐Sheng Ye (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Deadly humid heat conditions exceeding human thermoregulatory capacity have been reported; however, whether and where the deadly humid heat events occur consecutively across the land surface are largely unknown. We calculate the maximum consecutive days of deadly humid heat, defined as daily maximum wet‐bulb temperature (TWmax) ≥35°C, for observations of 9,278 meteorological stations and for simulations of 14 global climate models. We further define short and long deadly humid heatwaves as a period of 3–4 and ≥5 consecutive days with daily TWmax ≥35°C, respectively. Our analyses show that six stations in some subtropical regions have experienced deadly humid heat with daily TWmax ≥35°C, but only occurs in individual days. Deadly humid heatwaves increase exponentially as the global mean temperature rising. When limiting global warming within 1.5°C, long deadly humid heatwaves will not occur across the land surface, and short deadly humid heatwaves will only emerge in some drylands but not in humid areas. Under 2°C warming, 0.09% of the global land, 0.42% of the human population, and 0.56% of the global centres of crop diversity are projected to be exposed to long deadly humid heatwaves. Meanwhile, 18% of the deadly humid heatwaves lasting ≥3 consecutive days will occur in humid areas; the fractions are projected to rapidly increase in humid areas as temperature rising further. At the end of the century, the percentage of land areas and human population exposed to deadly humid heatwaves lasting ≥3 consecutive days are expected to be 76‐times higher than that under 1.5°C warming level. Our finding suggests that keeping global warming within 1.5°C will significantly constrain the emergence of prolonged deadly humid heatwaves and thus reduce the risk of the human population especially outdoor agricultural workers.

Purpose Reduced physical activity is reported in the elderly, especially in institutional residents. Institutionalized older adults exhibit a high prevalence of frailty. In this work, we developed an artificial intelligence of things (AIoT)-based feedback assistive strengthening ergometer (AIFASE), for the physical strengthening of the elderly with intelligent assistance. Methods We conducted a 12-week intervention in a long-term care facility. In total, 16 participants (84.38 ± 6.0 years; 4 males and 12 females) were recruited with 1:1 randomization of exercise to control groups. The muscle strength of the lower extremities, timed up and go test (TUG), and Short-form Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) of the participants were measured. The AIFASE system allows the clinical staff to record the personal physical performance of the elderly and generates personalized exercise prescriptions accordingly. AIFASE also displays the current usage status of all ergometers and the users’ physiological conditions. The algorithms were developed to generate warning alerts when the training workload was too large by personal physiological detection. AIFASE automatically customized the exercise prescription according to the user’s exercise performance. Results After a 12-week AIFASE intervention, the intervention group exhibited significant improvements in the strength of the hip flexor, Semi-Tandem Stand, and Tandem Stand. Conclusion In this study, we developed an AIoT ergometer that delivered customized physical training prescriptions to improve the physical performance of long-term care facility residents. We believe that the application of AIFASE will help improve the quality of institutional care.

Evaluation of the Potential of the Hard Clam (Meretrix meretrix) Shell Which Can Be Used as the Bioindicator for Heavy Metal Accumulation - Yen-Ting Lin; Fang-Chi Chang; Ming-Tsung Chung; Ze-Kai Li; Chang-Chuan Chan; Ying-Sheng Huang; Kuo-Fang Huang; Yu-San Han (Fishes, 2022)
Clams, Meretrix meretrix, were one of the favorite aquatic products in Taiwan and the world. It was reported that the water pollutants such as heavy metals and chemicals might accumulate in the clam body and shell through filter-feeding behavior. Thus, the bivalves could be used as bioindicators in the aquatic environment. The present study analyzed 20 trace elements, Mg, Sr, Li, Cd, Ba, Mn, Al, U, Ti, Pb, Nd, B, S, Zn, Fe, P, Na, K, Cu, and Ni, in the shells of the clams collected from the wild coastal area and cultured ponds to evaluate which elements have the potential to be biomarkers. The concentrations of 20 elements were detected by Solution-Based Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (SB-ICPMS). Among them, Cd, Al, U, Ti, Nd, S, and K were below the detection limit. The remaining elements were analyzed for accumulation. The levels of Zn, Fe, and Ni possess high variation in an identical environment; so, a PCA was conducted without these three elements to reduce noise. The PCA result proved that the clam could absorb specific trace elements from the habitat. After a period of time, the contents of the absorption in the shells of the clams living in an identical environment became more similar. The analyzed element, Pb, was not found with a special difference in this study. The levels of Na, Sr, Mg, B, Mn, P, Ba, Li, and Cu reflected different sampling sites, which suggested that these elements in the species M. meretrix had the potential to be used as biomarkers for assessing heavy metal accumulation in the environment.

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Microbial Community in Kumamoto Oyster (Crassostrea sikamea) Larvae: Response to Antibiotics in Trace Concentration - Wenfang Dai; Jing Ye; Sheng Liu; Hongqiang Xu; Minhai Liu; Zhihua Lin; Qinggang Xue (Fishes, 2022)
Antibiotic treatment is regarded as an emergency measure to avoid disease occurrence of aquatic animals during metamorphosis in an aquaculture system, which is very common in hatcheries of bivalve mollusc larvae. However, it is still unclear how and to what extent the antibiotic addition affects the prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial communities of marine bivalve larvae. We profiled the community compositions and dominant taxonomies of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbiota of Kumamoto oyster (Crassostrea sikamea) larvae exposed to seawater with antibiotics in trace concentration. A total of 500,664 16S rRNA and 501,933 18S rRNA gene fragments were selected for classification, resulting in 714 prokaryotic Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) and 47 eukaryotic OTUs. Antibiotic exposure altered the structure of larval microbiome and increased the prokaryotic but decreased the eukaryotic microbial diversity. Larval microbiota was sensitive to antibiotics, as evidenced by alternation of the dominant bacterial phyla Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Chlamydiae, and Actinobacteria, and eukaryotic phyla Streptophyta, Cercozoa, Chlorophyta and Haptophyta. Similarly, a significant effect was observed at the family and genus level, especially the increased bacterial Devosiaceae, Microbacteriaceae, Halieaceae, Vibrionaceae families, and Devosia, Stappia and Vibrio genera, and eukaryotic Isochrysidaceae and TAGIRI1-linage family and Tisochrysis genus. These results indicate that antibiotic treatment may induce a shift in the larval microbiome, which may cause an unstable community structure and in turn affect the oyster health.

Cavitation–Silt Erosion Behavior and Failure Mechanism of an HVOF-Sprayed WC-Cr3C2-Ni Coating for Offshore Hydraulic Machinery - Jinran Lin; Sheng Hong; Yuan Zheng; Wei Sun; Zhengwei Zhang; Min Kang; Xiuqing Fu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
WC-Cr3C2-Ni coatings are a vital class of hard ceramic/cermet coatings with potential applications as wear-resistant materials. However, their erosion wear behavior in 3.5 wt.% sodium chloride medium (SCM) remains largely unexplored. The present study investigated the cavitation–silt erosion (CSE) behavior in 3.5 wt.% SCM of WC-Cr3C2-Ni coatings sprayed with high-velocity oxygen–fuel (HVOF) under different flow velocities (FVs) and sand concentrations (SCs). Comparing the WC-Cr3C2-Ni coating with the 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel, the first possessed superior CSE resistance in 3.5 wt.% SCM in a full range of FV and SC. Meanwhile, the coating appeared more influenced by FV and less influenced by SC, which was indicated by the fact that the amplification of VLR value (377.1%) when the FV ranged from 23.4 to 41.9 m·s−1 was larger than that (129.8%) when the SC increased from 10 kg·m−3 to 35 kg·m−3. With increasing FV and SC, the CSE process of the WC-Cr3C2-Ni coating in 3.5 wt.% SCM mainly included the discontinuous corrosion product films, erosion pits, fracturing of hard-phase grains, and micro-cutting of soft binder matrix, as well as crater formation and coating spalling.

Physiological Recordings of the Cerebellum in Movement Disorders - Ami Kumar; Chih-Chun Lin; Sheng-Han Kuo; Ming-Kai Pan (The Cerebellum, 2022)
The cerebellum plays an important role in movement disorders, specifically in symptoms of ataxia, tremor, and dystonia. Understanding the physiological signals of the cerebellum contributes to insights into the pathophysiology of these movement disorders and holds promise in advancing therapeutic development. Non-invasive techniques such as electroencephalogram and magnetoencephalogram can record neural signals with high temporal resolution at the millisecond level, which is uniquely suitable to interrogate cerebellar physiology. These techniques have recently been implemented to study cerebellar physiology in healthy subjects as well as individuals with movement disorders. In the present review, we focus on the current understanding of cerebellar physiology using these techniques to study movement disorders.

Data capturing multiple axes of tree size and shape, such as a tree's stem diameter, height and crown size, underpin a wide range of ecological research—from developing and testing theory on forest structure and dynamics, to estimating forest carbon stocks and their uncertainties, and integrating remote sensing imagery into forest monitoring programmes. However, these data can be surprisingly hard to come by, particularly for certain regions of the world and for specific taxonomic groups, posing a real barrier to progress in these fields. To overcome this challenge, we developed the Tallo database, a collection of 498,838 georeferenced and taxonomically standardized records of individual trees for which stem diameter, height and/or crown radius have been measured. These data were collected at 61,856 globally distributed sites, spanning all major forested and non‐forested biomes. The majority of trees in the database are identified to species (88%), and collectively Tallo includes data for 5163 species distributed across 1453 genera and 187 plant families. The database is publicly archived under a CC‐BY 4.0 licence and can be access from: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6637599 . To demonstrate its value, here we present three case studies that highlight how the Tallo database can be used to address a range of theoretical and applied questions in ecology—from testing the predictions of metabolic scaling theory, to exploring the limits of tree allometric plasticity along environmental gradients and modelling global variation in maximum attainable tree height. In doing so, we provide a key resource for field ecologists, remote sensing researchers and the modelling community working together to better understand the role that trees play in regulating the terrestrial carbon cycle.

An Analytical Solution of Transient Wave Generation in the Wave Channel - Cheng-Tsung Chen; Jaw-Fang Lee; Kuei-Ting Lin; Pi-Sheng Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Transient characteristics of wave generation in the wave channel can provide unique and important information in contrast to the steady and periodic motion of propagation waves. In this paper, a new analytical solution is proposed for a transient wavemaker problem in the wave channel. The mathematical model of the wavemaker problem is established based on the linear potential wave theory, and a new analytical solution for the corresponding initial and boundary-value problem is presented. The present solution methodology is motivated and developed from old methods shown in literature. The present solution can be mathematically reformulated and shown to be identical to the previous solution using different solution methodology. The present analytical solution is further compared with numerical results and experiments to validate the mathematical model. The present solution is used to calculate the steady state generated wave forms that compare very well with the steady wave theory both in wave length and wave period. The present solution is also used to study unsteady characteristics of wave heights and wave lengths of the leading waves. The present analytical solution methodology can provide an easier approach to obtain the analytical solution for transient wave generation problem in the wave channel.

Systematic contributions of CFEM domain‐containing proteins to iron acquisition are essential for interspecies interaction of the filamentous pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana - Yue‐Jin Peng; Jia Hou; Hao Zhang; Jia‐Hui Lei; Hai‐Yan Lin; Jin‐Li Ding; Ming‐Guang Feng; Sheng‐Hua Ying (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Common in fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain is unique in fungal proteins and some of which contribute to iron acquisition in yeast. However, their roles in iron acquisition remain largely unknown in filamentous fungi. In this study, 12 CFEM‐containing proteins were bioinformatically identified in the filamentous entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana , and the roles of 11 genes were genetically characterized. Transmembrane helices were critical for their association with intracellular membranes, and their number varied among proteins. Eleven CFEM genes significantly contribute to vegetative growth under iron starvation and virulence. Notably, the virulence of most disruptants could be significantly weakened by a decrease in iron availability, in which the virulence of Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 strains was partially recovered by exogenous hemin. Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 mutants displayed defective competitiveness against the sister entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii . All 11 disruptants displayed impaired growth in the antagonistic assay with the saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus niger , which could be repressed by exogenous ferric ions. These findings not only reveal the systematic contributions of CFEM proteins to acquire two forms of iron (i.e. heme and ferric ion) in the entire lifecycle of entomopathogenic fungi but also help to better understand the mechanisms of fungus–host and inter–fungus interactions.

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.
