Paull; David W. Caress; Gerhard Bohrmann (International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023)
Hydroacoustic surveys at the accretionary wedge southwest of Taiwan reveal a confined active hydrocarbon seepage area of ~ 49,000 m 2 in ~ 1350 m water depth on the northern crest of the Four-Way Closure Ridge, which we call Yam Seep. In this study, multibeam and side-scan sonar data acquired during surveys with an autonomous underwater vehicle during an expedition with R/V Ocean Researcher I in 2017 showed that the area is characterized by rough topography and high seafloor backscatter. Seafloor observations with a video sled and sediment sampling with gravity corers and the MeBo seafloor drill rig during an expedition with R/V SONNE in 2018 revealed that the area is almost entirely covered by intensely fractured methane-derived carbonates, which indicate that seepage has been ongoing for thousands of years. Hydroacoustic anomalies (‘flares’) in the water column indicated the presence of several gas bubble emission sites mostly at the center and eastern flank of the area in 2019. Drilling through massive carbonates in the northwestern part of Yam Seep induced free gas escape from a depth of ~ 5.1 m. This suggests the presence of gas hydrates in the subsurface as the seep area is located well within the gas hydrate stability zone. The inter-disciplinary investigations of the Yam Seep demonstrate that upward migration of light hydrocarbons and seafloor discharge has a considerable influence on the seabed properties.

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.

Effect of wind on summer chlorophyll-a variability in the Yellow Sea - Lei Lin; Dongyan Liu; Yueqi Wang; Ting Lv; Yue Zhao; Wei Tan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Winds potentially affect primary production in shelf seas during the stratified season by enhancing upwelling and mixing. However, the exact extent and modalities of this effect in the Yellow Sea remain unclear. Here, based on the satellite and in situ observation data, statistical method, and wind-driven upwelling theory, we examined the wind effect on the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) variability in the summer of 2002-2020 and the effect mechanism. The satellite data revealed a significantly positive correlation between anomalies of the monthly mean of the summer sea surface Chl-a and wind speed at the continental slope region (water depth of 20-60 m) in the southwestern Yellow Sea where strong wind-driven upwelling has been indicated by previous studies. The wind-driven upwelling along the continental slope was further verified using two summer in-situ observations. After a fortnight of southeasterly wind, the upwelling patterns of high salinity and rich nutrients from the Yellow Sea cold water mass were observed, and consequently, high Chl-a concentrations occurred in the upper layer of the slope region. The wind-driven upwelling occurred in the region at water depth of ~20-60 m, which is consistent with the result of the wind-driven coastal upwelling theory (0.5 D < water depth < 1.25 D , where D is the thickness of the Ekman layer). The dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate fluxes contributed by wind-driven upwelling were estimated as 1345 ± 674 μmol/m 2 /d, 81 ± 45 μmol/m 2 /d and 1460 ± 899 μmol/m 2 /d, respectively, accounting for 30%-40% of total nutrient supply, and were several times larger than that contributed by the turbulent mixing, which can explain why the strong wind-Chl-a correlation only occurred at the upwelling region rather than the entire sea. In addition, in this region, the interannual variability of the summer mean Chl-a was negatively correlated to both the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indexes, due to the opposite phase of the summer wind anomaly and the PDO/ENSO. This study revealed the wind effect on the shelf phytoplankton is regional and highlighted that wind could be a pivotal factor driving the climate variability of shelf primary production in the stratified season.

Dynamic Co-Simulation Analysis and Control of an IEA 15 MW Offshore Floating Semi-Submersible Wind Turbine under Taiwan Offshore-Wind-Farm Conditions of Wind and Wave - Cherng-Jer Chueh; Chun-Hung Chien; Ching Lin; Ting-Yan Lin; Mao-Hsiung Chiang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
This study aims to develop dynamic co-simulation and control for analyzing the IEA 15 MW semi-submersible floating wind turbine under Taiwan offshore-wind-farm conditions of wind and wave. The IEA 15 MW wind turbine is mounted on a UMaine VolturnUS-S reference platform with a mooring system designed for a water depth of 70 m, in this study. The dynamic co-simulation combines software of SIMPACK, MATLAB/SIMULINK, AeroDyn, HydroDyn, WAMIT, and MAP++ to achieve the complex dynamic simulation of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, mechanism dynamics and control system dynamics. In addition, this study proposes a novel power-control strategy combining fuzzy sliding-mode control with additional pitching-rate feedback. Since the motion of the floating platform, especially the pitching motion, contributes to power oscillation, the proposed novel power-control strategy with additional pitching-rate feedback can reduce the influence of the floating-platform oscillation motion, and is verified under different conditions.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secreted-Extracellular Vesicles are Involved in Chondrocyte Production and Reduce Adipogenesis during Stem Cell Differentiation - Yu-Chen Tsai; Tai-Shan Cheng; Hsiu-Jung Liao; Ming-Hsi Chuang; Hui-Ting Chen; Chun-Hung Chen; Kai-Ling Zhang; Chih-Hung Chang; Po-Cheng Lin; Chi-Ying F. Huang (Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 2022)
Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are derived from internal cellular compartments, and have potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in degenerative disease associated with aging. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have become a promising tool for functional EVs production. This study investigated the efficacy of EVs and its effect on differentiation capacity. Methods: The characteristics of MSCs were evaluated by flow cytometry and stem cell differentiation analysis, and a production mode of functional EVs was scaled from MSCs. The concentration and size of EVs were quantitated by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA). Western blot analysis was used to assess the protein expression of exosome-specific markers. The effects of MSC-derived EVs were assessed by chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation analyses and histological observation. Results: The range of the particle size of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs)- and Wharton’s jelly -MSCs-derived EVs were from 130 to 150 nm as measured by NTA, which showed positive expression of exosomal markers. The chondrogenic induction ability was weakened in the absence of EVs in vitro . Interestingly, after EV administration, type II collagen, a major component in the cartilage extracellular matrix, was upregulated compared to the EV-free condition. Moreover, EVs decreased the lipid accumulation rate during adipogenic induction. Conclusion: The results indicated that the production model could facilitate production of effective EVs and further demonstrated the role of MSC-derived EVs in cell differentiation. MSC-derived EVs could be successfully used in cell-free therapy to guide chondrogenic differentiation of ADSC for future clinical applications in cartilage regeneration.

Long‐term series variation in fishery biology of Dosidicus gigas off Peru: Response to climate variability from 2008 to 2020 - Ya Ting Dan; Bi Lin Liu; Xin Jun Chen; Wei Guo Qian (Fisheries Oceanography, 2022)
As a cephalopod with a short life cycle, the Dosidicus gigas (jumbo flying squid) is extremely sensitive to climate variability and marine environment changes in terms of individual growth and resource changes. Based on 7514 D. gigas samples collected off Peru from 2008 to 2020, the fishery biological characteristics such as size, sexual maturity, and size‐at‐maturity were analyzed to explore the impacts of climate variability on individual growth. The results showed that there were significant differences in the relationship between mantle length and body weight and in the composition of sexual maturity between male and female individuals in different years ( P D. gigas and slowed down their sexual maturity, producing D. gigas groups in medium and large sizes; El Niño events inhibited the individual growth of D. gigas and accelerated their sexual maturity, producing D. gigas groups in a smaller size. From 2008 to 2020, the mantle length of the small‐size group decreased by 46 mm, while that of the medium‐size group increased by 28 mm. Size‐at‐maturity of female D. gigas decreased by 201.2 mm and that of male D. gigas decreased by 143 mm. The study concluded that the changes in the marine environment caused by climate variability from 2008 to 2020 have had a significant impact on the population structure, growth, and development of the D. gigas off Peru.

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.

Physical Mechanism for Seabed Scouring around a Breakwater—A Case Study in Mailiao Port - I-Fan Tseng; Chih-Hung Hsu; Po-Hung Yeh; Ting-Chieh Lin (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
According to a field survey in 2012, the bathymetry near Mailiao Port, located in central Taiwan’s west coast, has a scouring hole that extends approximately 500 m × 100 m with a maximum scour depth of 26 m (eroded from its design depth −22 m to −48 m). To investigate the scour mechanism near the breakwater head and prevent the breakwater from collapsing, this study conducts comprehensive analysis by analyzing field observed data, performing hydraulic model tests, and conducting numerical modeling for the area near the Mailiao Port. The results show that the current plays an important role in the scour process. The physical model tests and numerical simulations both can reproduce the scour phenomenon of the study site. By analyzing field observed data we validated through physical and numerical models. This study concludes that the current caused by the ebb and flood tide, as well as the steep and shallow seabed topography, together comprise the seabed scour mechanism near the Mailiao Port breakwater head.

Shallow-water hydrothermal vent system as an extreme proxy for discovery of microbiome significance in a crustacean holobiont - Ling Chiu; Min-Chen Wang; Kuang-Yu Tseng; Chih-Lin Wei; Huei-Ting Lin; Shan-Hua Yang; Yung-Che Tseng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The shallow-water hydrothermal vent (HV) system off Kueishan Island lies at the end of the Okinawa Trough to the northeast of Taiwan. Near its submarine vent openings, aperiodic vent discharges generate a dynamic acidic (pH 5.5-8.1) and sulfidic (9-3000 μM) ecosystem. The dominant metazoan in this unique environment is the brachyuran vent crab, Xenograpsus testudinatus , which has developed robust metabolic strategies and highly adaptive acid-base regulatory mechanisms to maintain its physiological homeostasis. X. testudinatus is considered a holobiont, but the symbiotic mechanisms underlying acid and sulfur tolerance in the host-microbe system remain largely unclear. In this study, we used LoopSeq long-read sequencing of the full-length 16S rRNA gene to identify the bacterial communities present in the gills and carapace surface of X. testudinatus . The alpha diversity analysis, Venn diagram, and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) indicated that the gills and carapace surface exhibit different bacterial constituents. Further measurements of relative abundance, coupled with functional predictions and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), revealed a predominance of Sulfurovum sp. NBC37-1, a key bacterium that can perform sulfur and hydrogen oxidation to support denitrification processes. Consequently, our findings suggest that the symbiotic bacteria may play a critical role in conferring the extraordinary acid and sulfur tolerances of X. testudinatus , allowing the crustacean holobiont to thrive in its ecological niche within one of the most extreme marine habitats on Earth.

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.

The Spatial Variation in Chlorophyte Community Composition From Coastal to Offshore Waters in a Subtropical Continental Shelf System - Yun-Chi Lin; Chien-Pang Chin; Wei-Ting Chen; Ching-Ting Huang; Gwo-Ching Gong; Kuo-Ping Chiang; Xin-Bei Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Globally, the continental shelf occupies less than 10% of the total sea surface, but supports substantial primary production and fisheries. Photosynthetic picoeukaryotes (PPE) are important primary producers in marine ecosystems, and chlorophytes make a significant contribution to PPE abundance. Although the distribution of chlorophytes has been widely studied, little is known about how their community composition varies along the coastal-offshore gradient in subtropical continental shelf waters. To better understand their spatial variations, we employed metabarcoding data of 18S rRNA V4 gene to examine chlorophyte composition within the surface and deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) layers over the continental shelf in the East China Sea (ECS) with high-resolution sampling. Our results indicate a higher chlorophyte diversity in the surface layer than in the DCM. In addition, we found that chlorophytes in oligotrophic Kuroshio surface water were the most diverse, with a higher percentage of Chloropicophyceae, prasinophyte clade V, prasinophyte clade IX, Palmophyllophyceae and Chlorodendrophyceae. In more eutrophic waters along the coast and within the DCM layer, chlorophytes were dominated by Mamiellophyceae. A significant spatial variation in community composition occurred along the nutrient gradient in the subtropical continental shelf ecosystem, varying from Mamiellophyceae-dominant in coastal water to Chloropicophyceae-dominant in offshore water. Furthermore, at a low saline coastal station, which had the lowest chlorophyte diversity, Picochlorum (Trebouxiophyceae) was dominant. Overall, chlorophyte diversity was positively correlated with temperature, and negatively correlated with silicate concentration. This study revealed that terrestrial input into continental systems influences chlorophyte diversity in the subtropical northwestern Pacific Ocean.

Investment Feasibility Analysis of Large Submersible Cage Culture in Taiwan: A Case Study of Snubnose Pompano (Trachinotus anak) and Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) - Hsun-Yu Lan; Farok Afero; Cheng-Ting Huang; Bo-Ying Chen; Po-Lin Huang; Yen-Lung Hou (Fishes, 2022)
Onshore farming for premium aquaculture is under scrutiny and criticism partially due to possible causes of adverse environmental impacts on other resource users and the surrounding environment. The best alternative to preventing or minimizing these impacts is to utilize open seawater by large submersible cage culture. The current operation in Taiwan has demonstrated that the culture operation is technically feasible but economically demanding because of high capital and operating costs. Therefore, this study conducted an economic analysis of the expansion of large submersible cage culture by selecting two premium species of snubnose pompano (Trachinotus anak) and cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and examined the profitability of large submersible cage culture investment. This study found that the current operation of four-unit cages highlighted a negative net present value and internal rate of return with a payback period of over ten and six years, respectively. Large submersible cage culture can be financially profitable when its operation unit expands from 8 to 24 units. Increasing unit cages to eight incurred a gross margin of 17.09%, BCR 1.21, with a payback period of 5.36 years. Expanding the operation to 24-unit cages was a potentially lucrative investment with a gross margin of 18.51%, BCR 1.23, PI 2.15, internal rate of return of 20.84%, and a payback period of 3.55 years. Sensitivity analyses revealed that market price and survival rate significantly impact the profitability of large submersible cage culture. Finally, it is suggested that producers could invest in 8-unit cages and maintaining the survival rate of snubnose pompano and cobia at 80% and 40%, respectively.

Perfusion Defects and Collateral Flow Patterns in Acute Small Subcortical Infarction: a 4D Dynamic MRI Study - Yen-Chu Huang; Jiann-Der Lee; Yi-Ting Pan; Hsu-Huei Weng; Jen-Tsung Yang; Leng-Chieh Lin; Yuan-Hsiung Tsai (Translational Stroke Research, 2022)
The hemodynamic changes of acute small subcortical infarction (SSI) are not well understood. We evaluate the hemodynamic changes and collaterals in acute SSI using perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A total of 103 patients with acute SSI in penetrating artery territories were recruited and underwent MRI within 24 h of stroke onset. Using 4D dynamic perfusion MRI, they were divided into three patterns: 25 (24%) with normal perfusion, 31 (30%) with compensated perfusion, and 47 (46%) with hypoperfusion. The development of anterograde or retrograde collaterals was also evaluated. Patients with hypoperfusion pattern had the highest rate of early neurological deterioration (32%, p = 0.007), the largest initial and final infarction volumes ( p < 0.001 and p = 0.029), the lowest relative cerebral blood flow (0.63, p < 0.001), and the lowest rate of anterograde and retrograde collaterals (19%, p < 0.001; 66%, p = 0.002). The anterograde collaterals were associated with higher relative cerebral blood volume (0.91 vs. 0.77; p = 0.024) and a higher rate of deep cerebral microbleeds (48 vs. 21%; p = 0.028), whereas retrograde collaterals were associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure ( p = 0.031 and 0.020), smaller initial infarction volume (0.81 vs. 1.34 ml, p = 0.031), and a higher rate of lobar cerebral microbleeds (30 vs. 0%; p = 0.013). Both anterograde and retrograde collaterals may play a critical role in maintaining cerebral perfusion and can have an impact on patient clinical outcomes. Further studies are warranted to verify these findings and to investigate effective treatments.

Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 Promotes Intestinal Motility, Mucin Production, and Serotonin Signaling in Mice - Chih-Ming Chen; Chien-Chen Wu; Chin-Lin Huang; Min-Yu Chang; Shih-Hsuan Cheng; Ching-Ting Lin; Ying-Chieh Tsai (Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins, 2022)
Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 has been reported as a psychobiotic to improve mental health through the gut–brain axis in experimental animal models. To explore its mechanism of action in the gut, this study aimed to analyze the effects of L. plantarum PS128 ingestion on naïve and loperamide (Lop)-induced constipation mice. We found that, in the two mouse models, the weight, number, and water content of feces in the L. plantarum PS128 group were higher than those in the vehicle control group. Histological observation revealed that L. plantarum PS128 increased the level of colonic mucins including the major mucin MUC2. In addition, the charcoal meal test showed that L. plantarum PS128 significantly increased the small intestine transit in naïve mice, but not in the Lop-treated mice. Since intestinal serotonin has been found to modulate motility, we further analyzed the expression of genes related to serotonin signal transduction in the small intestine of naïve mice. The results showed that L. plantarum PS128 significantly altered the expression levels of Tph1 , Chga , Slc6a4 , and Htr4 , but did not affect the expression levels of Tph2 , Htr3a , and Maoa . Furthermore, immunohistochemistry revealed that L. plantarum PS128 significantly increased the number of serotonin-containing intestinal cells in mice. Taken together, our results suggest that L. plantarum PS128 could promote intestinal motility, mucin production, and serotonin signal transduction, leading to a laxative effect in mice.

A Time-Domain Analytic Solution of Flow-Induced Undular Bores - Cheng-Tsung Chen; Jaw-Fang Lee; Hubert Chanson; Kuei-Ting Lin; Chun-Jih Lin (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In this study, the problem of surface waves induced by water flow in a flow channel was investigated. The mathematical model based on the potential wave theory was established, and a new analytic solution to the corresponding initial and boundary value problem was proposed. To confirm our analytic solution, the mathematical model was applied to simulate experiments conducted in a flow channel in the laboratory. Using our analytic solution, water surface elevations and flow velocities at certain locations in the channel were compared with experimental results. Comparisons between our analytic solution and experimental results confirmed our theory that amplitudes and propagating phases are in very close agreement. Our analytic solution can be used to calculate variations in pressure and velocity along the water depth, which are expensive to calibrate and obtain in experiments. Although our analytic solution was established based on linear theory, it is very practical for applications studying the basic properties of surface elevation, velocity, and pressure of the flow field induced by water current both in space and time.

Natural Feed Supplements Improve Growth, Non-Specific Immune Responses and Resistance against Vibrio alginolyticus in Lates calcarifer - Zhen-Hao Liao; Huai-Ting Huang; Yu-Ru Lin; Bo-Ying Chen; Yi-Fan Lee; Yuan-Heng Lin; Chieh-Yuan Chuang; Fan-Hua Nan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary natural feed supplement on the growth performance, non-specific responses, and disease resistance in Lates calcarifer. Three commercial products (A, B, and C) containing a basal probiotic mixture were tested. Product A contained a basal mixture of Paenibacillus sp., Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (107 cfu/g for each probiotic); product B contained additional Lactobacillus plantarum (1010 cfu/g); and product C contained additional soybean peptides (500 g/kg) and garlic powder (1 g/kg). Each product was supplemented into subject diets at dosages of 1 or 2 g/kg (designated as the A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2 groups, respectively). Following an eight-week trial, growth parameters (specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio), non-specific immune responses (O2− production, phagocytic rate, and phagocytic index), and the results of a challenge test against Vibrio alginolyticus were evaluated. The results show that all probiotic supplement groups exhibited an improvement in growth performance compared to the control group (non-probiotic diet). In terms of non-specific immunity parameters, a significant improvement in O2− production was found in the C2 group, whereas significant improvements in phagocytic activity were found in all the B and C groups. The C2 group displayed optimal O2− production, phagocytic rate, and phagocytic index results. For the challenge test, the C groups showed higher Vibrio resistance than the other experimental groups and the control group. These results suggest that product C, given at dosages of 2 g/kg, may serve as a growth-promoting and immunostimulatory additive for the cultivation of Asian seabass.

Cracking and Photo-Oxidation of Polyoxymethylene Degraded in Terrestrial and Simulated Marine Environments - Chih-Cheng Tang; Ying-Ting Chen; Yi-Ming Zhang; Huey-Ing Chen; Peter Brimblecombe; Chon-Lin Lee (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Marine plastic debris is an environmental problem, and its degradation into microplastics (1-5000 μm) introduces them into the food chain. In this study, small polyoxymethylene (global production ~3000 Tg per year) pellets were exposed in terrestrial and simulated marine environments to heat and light, resulting in cracking during decay with increasing IR absorption (OH-bonds). Furthermore, sunlight over three years reduced pellet mass and diameter (~10% and ~40%), initially yielding 100-300 μm fragments. Changes under UV irradiation were smaller as it could not penetrate into particle interiors. Characteristic spacing of surface striations (100-300 µm) initiated radial cracks to pellet interiors, and breakdown ultimately meant 95% of particles were <300 µm, which are potentially incorporated in marine turbidites.

Hypothermal Effects on Energy Supply for Ionocytes in Gills of Freshwater- and Seawater-Acclimated Milkfish, Chanos chanos - Chia-Hao Chang; Chia-Jui Liu; Wei-Jie Lu; Li-Yang Wu; Kuang-Jie Lai; Yu-Ting Lin; Tsung-Han Lee (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The milkfish, Chanos chanos , is an important aquaculture species that can be cultured in freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) ponds because of its high euryhalinity. In winter, cold snap leading to high mortality of this tropical species is a critical issue for the aquaculture industry in Taiwan. Under hypothermal stress, however, changes in energy supply for osmoregulation of this euryhaline species is intriguing. In this study, we used an antibody against glycogen phosphorylase (GP) to identify glycogen-rich (GR) cells distributed adjacent to the mitochondria-rich (MR) ionocytes in milkfish gills. Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), which plays a major role in energy supply, was also identified and localized in GR cells. Moreover, the expression of indicators of aerobic metabolism and energy production, citrate synthase (CS) and cytochrome c oxidase (COX), were analyzed in gills of FW- and SW-acclimated milkfish to reveal different strategies of energy utilization under hypothermal stress. When exposed to a low-temperature environment, SW individuals used branchial glycogen and lactate to match the energy demands of aerobic metabolism in ionocytes, and elevated aerobic capacity to support and maintain normal functions in gills. However, branchial glycogen mainly localized in the GR cells of FW milkfish was not utilized under hypothermal stress. Meanwhile, a similar level of branchial COX activity and COXIV protein abundance at low temperatures between FW and SW milkfish indicated similar energy requirements in gills. This suggested that another source, but not branchial glycogen, maintained the energy demand in FW milkfish. The present study illustrated differential energy supply strategies in gills between SW- and FW-acclimated milkfish for osmoregulation under low temperatures.

Common Subtype of Small Renal Mass MR Imaging Characterisation: A Medical Center Experience in Taiwan - Ming-Cheng Liu; Yi-Jui Liu; Yen-Ting Lin; Siu-Wan Hung; Jyh-Wen Chai; Si-Wa Chan; Kun-Yuan Chiu; Ya-Ling Tsou (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2022)
Purpose Many studies have shown that multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be helpful for differentiating malignant renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) from benign lesions. However, the key imaging characteristics that differ between malignant and benign tumors still require further discussion. Methods We analyzed 60 adult patients diagnosed with 72 small renal masses (SRMs) who received preoperative MRI from 2014 to 2019 at a hospital in Taiwan. The MRI features included conventional MRI parameters, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data, and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) patterns, which were documented and compared among the four common subtypes: clear cell RCC (ccRCC), papillary RCC (pRCC), angiomyolipoma (AML) and other types of RCC. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of high- and low-grade RCCs were also analyzed. Results The results show that ccRCC had higher T2-weighted signal intensity than the other three subgroups, a higher arterial wash-in index (AWI) and ADC value than AML and pRCC, and manifested a plateau ( n = 9, 25%) or washout (n = 27, 75%) enhancement pattern. AMLs exhibited more intravoxel fat than the other three subtype groups, and half of the AMLs (6 in 12) contained bulk fat. pRCC demonstrated a more progressive (n = 3, 60%) enhancement pattern than the other three subgroups. The ADC value of high-grade RCCs was significantly lower than that of low-grade RCCs. Conclusion These findings may indicate that multiparametric MRI is useful in differentiating among four common pathological types of SRMs, and the ADC value may be helpful in evaluating the histological grade of malignancy.

miRNA–mRNA Integrative Analysis Reveals the Roles of miRNAs in Hypoxia-Altered Embryonic Development- and Sex Determination-Related Genes of Medaka Fish - Keng Po Lai; Nathan Yi Kan Tam; Yuelong Chen; Chi Tim Leung; Xiao Lin; Chau Fong Tsang; Yin Cheung Kwok; William Ka Fai Tse; Shuk Han Cheng; Ting Fung Chan; Richard Yuen Chong Kong (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Recent studies have shown hypoxia to be an endocrine disruptor that impairs sex differentiation and reproductive function, leading to male-biased F1 populations in fish. However, the molecular mechanisms through which hypoxia alters fish sex differentiation and therefore sex ratios remain poorly understood. In order to understand the potential role of miRNAs in mediating hypoxia-altered sex determination and differentiation in fish, we conducted small RNA sequencing and transcriptome sequencing on marine medaka ( Oryzias melastigma ) embryos that were exposed to hypoxia (2.0 ± 0.2 mg O 2 L – 1) for 40 h (encompassing a critical window of sex determination). We identified dysregulated miRNAs and mRNAs in the hypoxia-exposed embryo, and bioinformatic analysis of the integrative small RNA sequencing and transcriptome sequencing results revealed hypoxia to cause alterations of genes related to embryonic development through miRNA regulation. Importantly, we have identified miRNA-mRNA pairs that were reported to play roles in gonad development (novel miR-145-col9a3 and novel miRNA-94- arid5b), in sex hormone response (novel miRNA-210-ca2, novel miRNA-106-nr2f2, nbr-miR-29c-nr4a1, and ola-miR-92b-akr1d1), and in sex characteristic development (novel miRNA-145-mns1, nle-miR-20-sord, and ipu-miR-219b-abcc8). Our findings highlighted the possible roles of miRNA–mRNA in regulation of embryonic development and sex determination in response to hypoxic stress.

Current Dependent Dispersal Characteristics of Japanese Glass Eel around Taiwan - Kuan-Mei Hsiung; Yen-Ting Lin; Yu-San Han (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Japanese eel larvae are passively transported to the East Asian Continental Shelf by the North Equatorial Current, Kuroshio and Kuroshio intrusion currents, and coastal currents. Previous studies have investigated the dispersal characteristics and pathways of Japanese glass eels. However, there are still limitations in these studies. According to long-term (2010–2020) catch data from the Fisheries Agency in Taiwan, the distribution and time series of glass eels recruitment to Taiwan are closely related to the surrounding ocean currents. Recruitment begins in eastern Taiwan via the mainstream Kuroshio and in southern Taiwan via the Taiwan Strait Warm Current. In central Taiwan, recruitment occurs from southern Taiwan, as well as from mainland China via the southern branch of the China Coast Current (CCC). The latest recruitment occurred in northern Taiwan and mainly comprised glass eels from mainland China via the northern branch of the CCC. A stronger monsoon during the La Niña phase could affect the recruitment time series in northern and eastern Taiwan. This study suggests that the recruitment directionality of glass eels is an indicator of the flow field of ocean/coastal currents and elucidates the dispersal characteristics of glass eels in the waters around Taiwan.

Species Composition and Assemblages of Ichthyoplankton in Sansha Bay, Fujian Province, China - Yan Jiang; Bai-an Lin; Hao-yang He; Guang-mao Ding; Li-ting Yan; Ge Zhang; Min Liu; Lian-ming Zheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Sansha Bay (26.40−27.00°N, 119.50−120.20°E) is a typical semi-enclosed bay, located in northern Fujian Province, China, and adjacent to the East China Sea. The ichthyoplankton species composition and assemblage structure were investigated based on monthly sampling at 25 stations in April−September 2019, covering the important spring and summer spawning seasons in the region. Sampling was conducted in the first 3−5 days of the full moon or new moon phases using a standard plankton net through horizontal and vertical tows during daytime. In total, 25,819 ichthyoplankton samples were collected, of which 25,449 samples (i.e., 24,757 eggs and 692 larvae) were from horizontal tows. For horizontal tow samples, the ichthyoplankton were classified into 58 taxa in 15 orders and 23 families with a combination of external morphology and DNA barcoding analyses, from pelagic to demersal and benthic species. The dominant order was the Gobiiformes, including 23 species (39.7% of all species). The dominant taxa, in terms of relative abundance and frequency of occurrence, consisted of commercially important fishes, such as Setipinna tenuifilis (Valenciennes, 1848) (Engraulidae), Epinephelus akaara (Temminck and Schlegel, 1842) (Serraenidae), Collichthys lucidus (Richardson, 1844), Nibea albiflora (Richardson, 1846) (Sciaenidae), Acanthopagrus schlegelii (Bleeker, 1854), and Pagrus major (Temminck and Schlegel, 1843) (Sparidae), accounting for 78.9% of the horizontal tow samples. Low-valued and small-sized fishes, such as Stolephorus commersonnii Lacepède, 1803 (Engraulidae), Solea ovata Richardson, 1846 (Soleidae), Nuchequula nuchalis (Temminck and Schlegel, 1845), and Photopectoralis bindus (Valenciennes, 1835) (Leiognathidae), were also dominant species, accounting for 11.4% of the horizontal tow samples. The ichthyoplankton assemblage was categorized into five different temporal assemblages based on the cluster and nonmetric multidimensional scaling analysis, namely, April, May, June, July, and August−September (ANOSIM, Global R = 0.656, p < 0.01) with the highest density and richness of ichthyoplankton occurred in May. The spatial distribution pattern showed that the high density (ind./m 3 ) of ichthyoplankton occurred mainly in S12–S25 in Guanjingyang and along the Dongchong Peninsula coastline into Dongwuyang, while low density occurred mainly in S01–S11 in the northwest waters of Sandu Island (ANOVA, F = 8.270, p < 0.05). Temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll a were key factors structuring the ichthyoplankton assemblages in Sansha Bay. In addition, this study revealed the changes of the ichthyoplankton composition, density, and spatial distribution in Sansha Bay over the past three decades.

The Effects of Limosilactobacillus reuteri LR-99 Supplementation on Body Mass Index, Social Communication, Fine Motor Function, and Gut Microbiome Composition in Individuals with Prader–Willi Syndrome: a Randomized Double-Blinded Placebo-Controlled Trial - Xue-Jun Kong; Kevin Liu; Patrick Zhuang; Ruiyi Tian; Siyu Liu; Cullen Clairmont; Xiaojing Lin; Hannah Sherman; Junli Zhu; Yelan Wang; Michelle Fong; Alice Li; et al. (Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins, 2021)
Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder associated with developmental delay, obesity, and neuropsychiatric comorbidities. Limosilactobacillus reuteri ( Lactobacillus reuteri , Lact. reuteri ) has demonstrated anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory effects in previous studies. In the present study, we aim to evaluate the effects of Lact. reuteri supplementation on body mass index (BMI), social behaviors, and gut microbiota in individuals with PWS. We conducted a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 71 individuals with PWS aged 6 to 264 months (64.4 ± 51.0 months). Participants were randomly assigned to either receive daily Lact. reuteri LR-99 probiotic (6 × 10 10 colony forming units) or a placebo sachet. Groupwise differences were assessed for BMI, ASQ-3, and GARS-3 at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks into treatment. Gut microbiome data was analyzed with the QIIME2 software package, and predictive functional profiling was conducted with PICRUSt-2. We found a significant reduction in BMI for the probiotic group at both 6 weeks and 12 weeks relative to the baseline ( P < 0.05). Furthermore, we observed a significant improvement in social communication and interaction, fine motor function, and total ASQ-3 score in the probiotics group compared to the placebo group ( P < 0.05). Altered gut microbiota was observed in the probiotic group to favor weight loss and improve gut health. The findings suggest a novel therapeutic potential for Lact. reuteri LR-99 probiotic to modulate BMI, social behaviors, and gut microbiota in Prader–Willi syndrome patients, although further investigation is warranted.

Timing and magnitude of climatic extremes differentially elevate mortality but enhance recovery in a fish population - Ming‐Chih Chiu; Shih‐Hsun Chang; Yu‐Ting Yen; Lin‐Yan Liao; Hsing‐Juh Lin (Global Change Biology, 2021)
The countervailing effects of disturbances (e.g., high mortality and enhanced recovery) on population dynamics can occur through demographic processes under rapidly increasing climatic extremes. Across an extreme‐event gradient, we mechanistically demonstrated how dramatic changes in streamflow have affected the population persistence of endangered salmon in monsoonal Taiwan over a three‐decade period. Our modeling indicated that the dynamics of the age‐structured population were attributed to demographic processes, in which extensive mortality was characterized as a function of climatic extremes and vulnerability in the young stage of fish. In the stochastic simulations, we found that the extensive mortality and high proportion of large fish resulted from extreme flooding, which caused high values of postimpact population recovery. Our empirical evidence suggests that the magnitudes and timing of disturbance can explain the population persistence when facing climatic extremes and thereby challenges the understanding of the mechanistic drivers of these countervailing phenomena under changing environmental conditions.

Antibiotic intervention redisposes bacterial interspecific interacting dynamics in competitive environments - Jing Li; Xiaojie Chen; Jiafu Lin; Yang Yuan; Ting Huang; Lianming Du; Balakrishnan Prithiviraj; Aixue Zhang; Xinrong Wang; Yiwen Chu; Kelei Zhao (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Interspecific interaction happens frequently among bacterial species and can promote the colonization of polymicrobial community in various environments. However, it is not clear whether the intervention of antibiotics, which is a common therapeutic method for infectious disease, will influence the interacting dynamics of different pathogenic bacteria. By using the frequently co‐isolated bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus as models, here we identify an antibiotic‐determined mutual invasion relationship between bacterial pathogens. We show that although P . aeruginosa has a significant intrinsic competitive advantage over S . aureus by producing the quorum‐sensing (QS)‐controlled anti‐staphylococcal molecules, methicillin‐resistant S . aureus (MRSA) can inhibit neighbouring P . aeruginosa in the presence of subinhibitory aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g. streptomycin) to P . aeruginosa . Importantly, subinhibitory streptomycin decreases the expression of QS‐regulated genes in P . aeruginosa and thus relieves the survival stress of MRSA brought by P . aeruginosa . On the other side, the iron‐uptake systems and pathogenicity of MRSA can be enhanced by the extracellular products of streptomycin‐treated P . aeruginosa . Therefore, this study provides an explanation for the substitution of dominant species and persistent coexistence of bacterial pathogens in the host with repeated antibiotic therapies and contributes to further understanding the pathogenesis of chronic polymicrobial infections.

Genomic Action of Sigma-1 Receptor Chaperone Relates to Neuropathic Pain - Shao-Ming Wang; Nino Goguadze; Yuriko Kimura; Yuko Yasui; Bin Pan; Tzu-Yun Wang; Yoki Nakamura; Yu-Ting Lin; Quinn H. Hogan; Katherine L. Wilson; Tsung-Ping Su; Hsiang-en Wu (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Sigma-1 receptors (Sig-1Rs) are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones implicated in neuropathic pain. Here we examine if the Sig-1R may relate to neuropathic pain at the level of dorsal root ganglia (DRG). We focus on the neuronal excitability of DRG in a “spare nerve injury” (SNI) model of neuropathic pain in rats and find that Sig-1Rs likely contribute to the genesis of DRG neuronal excitability by decreasing the protein level of voltage-gated Cav2.2 as a translational inhibitor of mRNA. Specifically, during SNI, Sig-1Rs translocate from ER to the nuclear envelope via a trafficking protein Sec61β. At the nucleus, the Sig-1R interacts with cFos and binds to the promoter of 4E-BP1, leading to an upregulation of 4E-BP1 that binds and prevents eIF4E from initiating the mRNA translation for Cav2.2. Interestingly, in Sig-1R knockout HEK cells, Cav2.2 is upregulated. In accordance with those findings, we find that intra-DRG injection of Sig-1R agonist (+)pentazocine increases frequency of action potentials via regulation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Conversely, intra-DRG injection of Sig-1R antagonist BD1047 attenuates neuropathic pain. Hence, we discover that the Sig-1R chaperone causes neuropathic pain indirectly as a translational inhibitor.

Proteomic Response of the Brain to Hypoxic Stress in Marine Medaka Fish (Oryzias melastigma) - Keng Po Lai; Nathan Tam; Simon Yuan Wang; William Ka Fai Tse; Xiao Lin; Ting Fung Chan; Yin Tong; Jianwen Zhang; Doris Wai Ting Au; Rudolf Shiu Sun Wu; Richard Yuen Chong Kong (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Hypoxia is a serious issue that affects the marine environment, with a growing number of hypoxic “dead zones” occurring each year. Reports have indicated that hypoxia is detrimental to the reproductive function and sexual development of fish via the disruption of endocrine signaling in organs involved in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis, including the brain. While we previously reported that hypoxia induces transcriptome-wide alterations in the brain of marine medaka ( Oryzias melastigma ), whether these effects were reflected at the protein level remains unclear. Therefore, the present study used high-throughput proteomic sequencing along with bioinformatics analysis to assess the short-term and multi-generational effects of hypoxia on the brain proteome of O. melastigma . We identified 36,567 peptides and 7,599 proteins (1% false discovery rate in brain samples), with functions involved in cellular and metabolic processes such as signaling and reproductive processes as well as energy production and conversion. Furthermore, we determined that hypoxia resulted in the significant differential expressions of 33 upregulated and 69 downregulated proteins in the short-term exposure group and 24 upregulated and 52 downregulated proteins in the multi-generational exposure group. Pathway enrichment analysis of the deregulated proteins indicated that hypoxia could impair brain function by altering arachidonic acid metabolism, tight junctions, and adrenergic signaling under short-term hypoxic exposure and by altering p53 and PI3K–Akt signaling under multi-generational hypoxic exposure, which may lead to the onset of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Ingenuity pathway analysis of the deregulated proteins showed that hypoxia affected common signaling pathways in the brain (e.g., integrin, paxillin, and epithelial adherens junction signaling) under both short-term and multi-generational exposures. Hypoxia also deregulated pathways specific to short-term exposure (including integrin-linked kinase, calcium, and integrin signaling) and multi-generational exposure (including sphingosine-1-phosphate signaling, endocannabinoid neuronal synapse pathway, and endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway). Overall, our results provide additional insights into the mechanisms of hypoxia disrupting neuronal function at the protein level in marine medaka.

Aims Chloroquine (CQ) has been repurposed to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Understanding the pharmacokinetics (PK) in COVID-19 patients is essential to study its exposure–efficacy/safety relationship and provide a basis for a possible dosing regimen optimization. Subject and methods In this study, we used a population-based meta-analysis approach to develop a population PK model to characterize the CQ PK in COVID-19 patients. An open-label, single-center study (ethical review approval number: PJ-NBEY-KY-2020-063-01) was conducted to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of CQ in patients with COVID-19. The sparse PK data from 50 COVID-19 patients, receiving 500 mg CQ phosphate twice daily for 7 days, were combined with additional CQ PK data from 18 publications. Results A two-compartment model with first-order oral absorption and first-order elimination and an absorption lag best described the data. Absorption rate (ka) was estimated to be 0.559 h −1 , and a lag time of absorption (ALAG) was estimated to be 0.149 h. Apparent clearance (CL/F) and apparent central volume of distribution (V2/F) was 33.3 l/h and 3630 l. Apparent distribution clearance (Q/F) and volume of distribution of peripheral compartment (Q3/F) were 58.7 l/h and 5120 l. The simulated CQ concentration under five dosing regimens of CQ phosphate were within the safety margin (400 ng/ml). Conclusion Model-based simulation using PK parameters from the COVID-19 patients shows that the concentrations under the currently recommended dosing regimen are below the safety margin for side-effects, which suggests that these dosing regimens are generally safe. The derived population PK model should allow for the assessment of pharmacokinetics–pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) relationships for CQ when given alone or in combination with other agents to treat COVID-19.
