Consistency between the ichthyotoxicity and allelopathy among strains and ribotypes of Margalefidinium polykrikoides suggests that its toxins are allelochemicals - Huijiao Yang; Christopher J. Gobler; Ying Zhong Tang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) of the ichthytoxic dinoflagellate Margalefidinium polykrikoides have caused mass mortality of marine life around the world. While its toxic effects can impact fish, bivalves, coral, zooplankton, and even other phytoplankton, the toxin(s) and allelochemical(s) eliciting these impacts have yet to be definitely identified, leaving open the question as to whether its toxicity and allelopathic effects are caused by the same chemical agents. In this study, we investigated the ability of 10 strains of M. polykrikoides with different geographic origins and ribotypes to cause mortality in two strains of the dinoflagellate, Akashiwo sanguinea (allelopathy), and the sheepshead minnow, Cyprinodon variegatus (toxicity). Results showed that the potency of allelopathy against both strains of A. sanguinea and toxicity to the fish were significantly correlated across strains of M. polykrikoides ( p < 0.001 for all). These results strongly support the notion that the major allelochemicals and toxins of M. polykrikoides are identical chemicals, an ecological strategy that may be more energetically efficient than the separate synthesis of toxins and allelochemicals as has been reported in other HABs. Our results also highlight the vital significance of the definitive identification of allelochemicals and toxins of M. polykrikoides and of the quantitative characterization of these compounds in the field where HABs of M. polykrikoides occur during blooms.

Comprehensive Utilization of Land Resources for Photovoltaic Power Generation to Culture Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis): Growth Performance, Nutritional Composition and Tissue Color - Yangyang Pang; Chao Niu; Lifeng Wu; Yameng Song; Xiaozhe Song; Ao-ya Shi; Xingliang Shi; Zong-wen Wu; Boping Tang; Xiaozhen Yang; Yongxu Cheng (Fishes, 2022)
The assertive growth of photovoltaics (PV) will occupy a lot of land resources. There is also a needed land resource to expand the culturing area of Eriocheir sinensis. The aquavoltaic systems offer a potential solution to integrate PV power and E. sinensis culturing. In this study, we cultured E. sinensis in an area of PV panels (PV group) and an area with no PV panels (control group), respectively. The results showed that the weight gain rate, body length, body width, and meat yield of male crabs in the PV group significantly increases. In addition, the moisture of muscles, hepatopancreas, and testes in the PV group has significantly increased, and the total lipids of the hepatopancreas and muscles in the PV group were significantly decreased. Moreover, the PV panels affected the content of eight amino acids in different tissues, including Met, Arg, Cys, Pro, Gly, Leu, Tyr, and His. In addition, several saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) had been significantly influenced by the PV panels. ∑MUFA, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), ∑n-3 PUFA, ∑n-6 PUFA, and n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio (p

Mental health conditions and academic burnout among medical and non-medical undergraduates during the mitigation of COVID-19 pandemic in China - Qian Yang; Yueheng Liu; Winson Fuzun Yang; Pu Peng; Shubao Chen; Yunfei Wang; Xin Wang; Manyun Li; Yingying Wang; Yuzhu Hao; Li He; Qianjin Wang; et al. (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed a great impact on people’s mental health, especially for undergraduate students. This study aimed to compare the mental health conditions and academic burnout between medical and non-medical undergraduates in China when the COVID-19 pandemic is mitigating. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 4,972 undergraduates between October 2020 and April 2021, when the pandemic was basically under control. The survey included basic demographics information and standardized scales to evaluate depression, anxiety, perceived stress, daytime sleepiness, alcohol abuse/dependence, quality of life, fatigue, and academic burnout. Compared with medical undergraduates, non-medical undergraduates had higher rates of moderate to severe depression symptoms (29.1% vs. 17.9%, P < 0.001), moderate to severe anxiety symptoms (19.7% vs. 8.9%, P < 0.001), alcohol abuse/dependence (16.3% vs.10.3%, P < 0.001), excessive daytime sleepiness (47.4% vs. 43.4%, P = 0.018), high perceived stress (34.7% vs. 22.2%, P < 0.001), high level of fatigue (51.8% vs. 42.2%, P < 0.001), low QOL (35.8% vs. 21.4%, P < 0.001), and higher academic burnout score (59.4 vs. 57.5, P < 0.001). Being non-medical undergraduates, depression, alcohol abuse/dependence, excessive daytime sleepiness, and high perceived stress were positively associated with academic burnout, while high QOL was negatively associated with the burnout (all P < 0.001). Excessive daytime sleepiness was the strongest predictor for academic burnout.

Protein kinase Ime2 is associated with mycelial growth, conidiation, osmoregulation, and pathogenicity in Fusarium oxysporum - Jiling Xiao; Yi Zhang; Ke Yang; Yanying Tang; Lin Wei; Erming Liu; Zhihuai Liang (Archives of Microbiology, 2022)
Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum is one of the most serious diseases impairing watermelon yield and quality. Inducer of meiosis 2 (Ime2) is the founding member of a family of serine/threonine protein kinases and plays important roles in yeasts and other filamentous fungi. In this study, we analyzed the functions of Fo Ime2, the ortholog of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ime2 in F. oxysporum f.sp. niveum . The FoIme2 -deleted mutants exhibited obvious morphological abnormalities, including slower vegetative growth, more branches in the edge hyphae and a reduction in conidia production. Compared to the wild type, the mutants were hypersensitive to the osmotic stressor NaCl but were more insensitive to the membrane stressor SDS. The deletion of FoIme2 also caused a reduction in pathogenicity. Transcriptional analysis revealed that Fo Ime2 acts downstream of Fo Opy2 which is an upstream sensor of the MAPK kinase cascade. These results indicate that Fo Ime2 is important in the development and pathogenicity of F. oxysporum, and provide new insight for the analysis of the pathogenic mechanism of F. oxysporum.

Research on target detection of Engraulis japonicus purse seine based on improved model of YOLOv5 - Jiaze Zhang; Shuxian Wang; Shengmao Zhang; Fenghua Tang; Wei Fan; Shenglong Yang; Yongwen Sun; Yang Liu; Wenbin Zhu; Shan Zhang; Ruilin He (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The refined monitoring and identification of fishing operations by fishing vessels is of great significance and value to fishing vessels. In order to solve the problem of inaccurate statistics of current Engraulis japonicus fishing quota and classification, this paper proposes an improved identification algorithm based on YOLOv5. This method introduces the SENet attention mechanism into the YOLOv5 backbone network structure, integrates the target information in different periods of fishing operations, reduces the interference of complex backgrounds, improves the precision of model detection, and ensures real-time detection efficiency. The artificially shot Engraulis japonicus videos are used as the dataset of the study, and the video is converted into a picture format to realize pre-labeling and processing. The 5550 images are divided into the training set, validation set, and test set according to 8:1:1. In order to verify the validity of the data, a set of in the control experiment, the YOLOv5 backbone network was replaced by MobileNetV2 and the SENet attention mechanism was introduced, and four models were implemented for comparison. The experimental results show that the research algorithm can obtain a mean average precision (mAP) of 99.3%, a precision of 98.9%, and a recall of 98.7%, which are improved by 1.4%, 1.7% and 2.5% respectively compared with the original model. The experimental results match the expectations. According to the statistics of some categories, the Kalman filter and the Hungarian matching method are used to count the main categories of fishing baskets, and an accuracy of 96.5% can be obtained. The threshold method for fishing nets and processing vessels can obtain 85.8% and 75% accuracy. These results shows that this target detection research can provide new ideas for job identification of Engraulis japonicus and provide auxiliary means for job statistics.

Spectral Analysis of Flow around Single and Two Crossing Circular Cylinders Arranged at 60 and 90 Degrees - Tianyuan Wang; Qingqing Yang; Yeting Tang; Hongda Shi; Qin Zhang; Mengfei Wang; Andrey Epikhin; Andrey Britov (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Two modal decomposition techniques, including proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), were used to identify the wake patterns past single and two crossing cylinders in 60° and 90° arrangements with gap ratio G = 4. The flow was simulated using direct numerical simulations (DNS) for Reynolds numbers Re = 100. From modal analysis, the flow’s spatial scale decreased with increasing modal frequency. Two main modes were identified in the wake of the cylinders, namely spatially antisymmetric and symmetric modes. Antisymmetric and symmetric modes were related to the cylinders’ vortex shedding and shedding vortices’ shift motion, respectively, whose frequencies were odd and even multiples of the cylinders’ lift force frequency. In addition, a low-frequency mode concerning the shadowing effect of the downstream cylinder (DC) in 90° arrangement was found in the wake of the DC centre.

Calcium Enabled Remote Loading of a Weak Acid Into pH-sensitive Liposomes and Augmented Cytosolic Delivery to Cancer Cells via the Proton Sponge Effect - Mimi M. Yang; Sasi Bhushan Yarragudi; Stephen M. F. Jamieson; Mingtan Tang; William R. Wilson; Zimei Wu (Pharmaceutical Research, 2022)
While delivery of chemotherapeutics to cancer cells by nanomedicines can improve therapeutic outcomes, many fail due to the low drug loading (DL), poor cellular uptake and endosomal entrapment. This study investigated the potential to overcome these limitations using pH-sensitive liposomes (PSL) empowered by the use of calcium acetate. An acidic dinitrobenzamide mustard prodrug SN25860 was used as a model drug, with non pH-sensitive liposomes (NPSL) as a reference. Calcium acetate as a remote loading agent allowed to engineer PSL- and NPSL-SN25860 with DL of > 31.1% (w/w). The IC 50 of PSL-SN25860 was 21- and 141-fold lower than NPSL and free drug, respectively. At 48 h following injection of PSL-SN25860, NPSL-SN25860 and the free drug, drug concentrations in EMT6- nfsB murine breast tumors were 56.3 µg/g, 6.76 µg/g and undetectable (< 0.015 µg/g), respectively (n = 3). Meanwhile, the ex vivo tumor clonogenic assay showed 9.1%, 19.4% and 42.7% cell survival in the respective tumors. Live-cell imaging and co-localization analysis suggested endosomal escape was accomplished by destabilization of PSL followed by release of Ca 2+ in endosomes allowing induction of a proton sponge effect. Subsequent endosomal rupture was observed approximately 30 min following endocytosis of PSL containing Ca 2+ . Additionally, calcium in liposomes promoted internalization of both PSL and NPSL. Taken together, this study demonstrated multifaceted functions of calcium acetate in promoting drug loading into liposomes, cellular uptake, and endosomal escape of PSL for efficient cytoplasmic drug delivery. The results shed light on designing nano-platforms for cytoplasmic delivery of various therapeutics. Graphical abstract

Taste Attributes of the “June Hairy Crab” Juveniles of Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis) in Yangcheng Lake, China—A Pilot Study - Hongbo Liu; Junren Xue; Jing Tang; Tao Jiang; Xiubao Chen; Jian Yang (Fishes, 2022)
This is the first report on the use of a taste sensing system to quantitatively evaluate the taste attributes of two groups of native “June hairy crab” juveniles (commonly referred to as “Liu-Yue-Huang”) of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir Sinensis H. Milne Edwards, 1853) from a net enclosure culture area in Yangcheng Lake (lake culture) and aquaculture ponds near the lake (pond culture). We showed that umami was the predominant basic taste of steamed June hairy crabs, followed by bitterness and astringency. The intensity value of saltiness was aberrant and could not be determined using this system. The average values of aftertaste-U reached 8.7 and 10.7 in the male June hairy crabs from the lake and pond cultures, respectively, which was significantly higher than their respective aftertaste-B and aftertaste-A values (p

Transcriptome Sequencing Analysis Reveals Dynamic Changes in Major Biological Functions during the Early Development of Clearhead Icefish, Protosalanx chinensis - Xuemei Tang; Shulun Jiang; Henglin Wang; Yanfeng Zhou; Fei Peng; Xizhao Zhang; Yifan Zhou; Shiyue Guo; Yang You (Fishes, 2022)
Early development, when many important developmental events occur, is a critical period for fish. However, research on the early development of clearhead icefish is very limited, especially in molecular research. In this study, we aimed to explore the dynamic changes in the biological functions of five key periods in clearhead icefish early development, namely the YL (embryonic), PM (first day after hatching), KK (fourth day after hatching), LC (seventh day after hatching), and SL (tenth day after hatching) stages, through transcriptome sequencing and different analysis strategies. A trend expression analysis and an enrichment analysis revealed that the expression ofgenes encoding G protein-coupled receptors and their ligands, i.e., prss1_2_3, pomc, npy, npb, sst, rln3, crh, gh, and prl that are associated with digestion and feeding regulation gradually increased during early development. In addition, a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) showed that eleven modules were significantly associated with early development, among which nine modules were significantly positively correlated. Through the enrichment analysis and hub gene identification results of these nine modules, it was found that the pathways related to eye, bone, and heart development were significantly enriched in the YL stage, and the ccnd2, seh1l, kdm6a, arf4, and ankrd28 genes that are associated with cell proliferation and differentiation played important roles in these developmental processes; the pak3, dlx3, dgat2, and tas1r1 genes that are associated with jaw and tooth development, TG (triacylglycerol) synthesis, and umami amino acid receptors were identified as hub genes for the PM stage; the pathways associated with aerobic metabolism and unsaturated fatty acid synthesis were significantly enriched in the KK stage, with the foxk, slc13a2_3_5, ndufa5, and lsc2 genes playing important roles; the pathways related to visual perception were significantly enriched in the LC stage; and the bile acid biosynthetic and serine-type peptidase activity pathways were significantly enriched in the SL stage. These results provide a more detailed understanding of the processes of early development of clearhead icefish.

Revisit the Sedimentary Stratigraphic Evolution and Environmental Changes on the Outer Shelf of the East China Sea Since MIS 5 - Zhongbo Wang; Shouye Yang; Haiyan Tang; Yilin Zheng; Hongyue Wang; Zhixun Zhang; Yong Zhang; Xi Mei; Qiang Wang; Zhongping Lai (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The East China Sea (ECS) is featured by the broad continental shelf, huge terrigenous sediment input and striking river-sea interaction during the Quaternary. Despite the numerous studies, mostly on the delta, coastal and inner shelf areas, the late Quaternary stratigraphy and sedimentary environment on the mid-outer ECS shelf were poorly documented. In particular, it is still controversial in issues such as the recognition of marine transgression deposits in the interglacial period and the occurrence and ages of deposits in the glacial period. This study presents new data of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles and collective evidences from lithology, microfossil assemblages and geochronology of borehole SFK-1 on the ECS outer shelf, aiming to revisit the sedimentary stratigraphic evolution and environmental changes since the Marine Isotopic Stage 5 (MIS 5). Sixty-one ages were obtained by radiocarbon and Optical Stimulation Luminescence (OSL), providing robust constraints on the chronostratigraphy. Three marine regression/transgression cycles were identified, which primarily constrained the sedimentary environmental evolution over the past 100 kyrs. Although the strong river-sea interaction accompanied with sea level fluctuations characterized the late Quaternary depositional environment on the shelf, this study clearly identified the stratigraphic boundaries between MIS 1 and MIS 5, and confirmed the tide-influenced fluvial deposition formed during the Last Glacial Maximum on the outer shelf. We infer that tidal forcing significantly superimposed its influence on sea level change and thus formed the most striking feature on the late Quaternary stratigraphy of the open ECS shelf. With the combination of a large number of absolute depositional ages with high-resolution core records, the major findings of this study may allow better understanding of the Quaternary sedimentary evolution and river-sea interaction on open shelves dominated by siliciclastic sedimentation.

Ocean Currents May Influence the Endolithic Bacterial Composition in Coral Skeletons - Po-Yu Liu; Sung-Yin Yang; Chih-Ying Lu; Naohisa Wada; Stéphane De Palmas; Shu-Shuo Yeh; Hideyuki Yamashiro; Sen-Lin Tang; Shan-Hua Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Coral endolithic microbes can be an important nutrients support for hosts while under stresses. Previous studies have found that the endolithic microbial composition of a single coral species can be biogeographical diverse. However, the potential environmental factors, such as salinity, temperature, pH, and nutrient, that might influence the composition of the endolithic microbes remain unclear. In this study, we used both amplicon sequence variants (ASV) and a kmer-based taxonomic unit (KTU) to characterize the endolithic bacterial constitution of Isopora spp. located in the western Pacific Ocean—where it is subjected to the Kuroshio Current (in Okinawa, Japan and Green Island, Taiwan)—and the South China Sea (Dongsha Atoll). The endolithic bacterial community compositions showed a significant geographical difference, and we suggest that the ocean current and primary productivity are the most essential environmental factors influencing the bacterial communities in the skeleton of Isopora spp. In addition, our results showed that, technically, compared to ASV, bacterial composition based on KTU avoids extreme data, making it a suitable tool for explaining the associations between microbes and environmental factors.

Application of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Effectively Eliminates Endotoxemia to Protect Rat from Acute Liver Failure Induced by Thioacetamide - Ting Jiang; Geng Xia; Bo Yang; Hong-wei Zhang; Yue-shan Yin; Cheng-wei Tang; Jin-hui Yang (Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 2022)
Background: Endotoxemia is related to worse clinical outcomes in acute liver failure (ALF), but its management remains unsatisfactory. In this study, we aimed to assess whether the application of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) could eliminate endotoxemia and protect rats against ALF induced by thioacetamide (TAA). Methods: BMSCs were isolated from rats and identified by the specific morphology, differentiation potential, and surface markers. The optimal dose of TAA for this study was explored and TAA-induced ALF rats were randomized to three groups: the normal control group (Saline), ALF group (TAA + Saline), and BMSCs-treated group (TAA + BMSCs). The intestinal migration and differentiation of BMSCs was tracked in vivo , and intestinal permeability, endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines, histology, and mortality were analyzed. Moreover, we added the inhibitor of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway into the co-culture system of BMSCs with enterocytes and then performed CK and Villin expression experiments to assess the role of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway in the intestinal differentiation of BMSCs. Results: BMSCs migrated to the intestinal injury sites and differentiated into enterocytes, intestinal permeability was decreased compared with the ALF group. The higher expression of endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines were reversed after BMSCs transplantation in rats with ALF. Mortality and intestinal lesion were significantly decreased. Blocking the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway inhibited BMSCs’ intestinal differentiation in vitro . Conclusion: BMSCs can eliminate endotoxemia and reduce mortality in rats with ALF, and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway is involved in intestinal differentiation. BMSCs transplantation could be a potential candidate for the treatment of endotoxemia in ALF.

The role of cropping system adjustment in balancing grain yield and groundwater use across a rainfall gradient in the North China Plain under future climate scenarios * - Dengpan Xiao; Huizi Bai; Jianzhao Tang; De Li Liu; Yanmin Yang (Irrigation and Drainage, 2022)
The long‐term extraction of groundwater for crop irrigation under the high‐yielding double‐cropping system of winter wheat and summer maize over the last decades has led to rapid depletion of groundwater in the North China Plain (NCP). In this study, we used the well‐validated APSIM model to evaluate the yield and water use of the current cropping system and three alternative cropping systems under future climate scenarios. We used a statistical downscaling method to downscale the monthly climate data from the 33 global climate models to the daily data for driving the APSIM model. The results show that future climate change would mainly have a negative impact on the maize yield, but it has a positive impact on the wheat yield under most future climate scenarios. The combined effects of the reduction of crop water consumption and the relative increase in rainfall under the future climate scenarios will alleviate the situation of groundwater overexploitation. Moreover, the amount of groundwater overdraft under the future climate scenarios mainly depends on the selected alternative cropping system and the amount of local rainfall. The results provide useful information that helps adjust cropping systems to stop groundwater depletion and maintain acceptable food production levels in the NCP.

A trait‐based model ensemble approach to design rice plant types for future climate - Livia Paleari; Tao Li; Yubin Yang; Lloyd T. Wilson; Toshihiro Hasegawa; Kenneth J. Boote; Samuel Buis; Gerrit Hoogenboom; Yujing Gao; Ermes Movedi; Françoise Ruget; Upendra Singh; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Crop models are powerful tools to support breeding because of their capability to explore genotype × environment×management interactions that can help design promising plant types under climate change. However, relationships between plant traits and model parameters are often model specific and not necessarily direct, depending on how models formulate plant morphological and physiological features. This hinders model application in plant breeding. We developed a novel trait‐based multi‐model ensemble approach to improve the design of rice plant types for future climate projections. We conducted multi‐model simulations targeting enhanced productivity, and aggregated results into model‐ensemble sets of phenotypic traits as defined by breeders rather than by model parameters. This allowed to overcome the limitations due to ambiguities in trait‐parameter mapping from single modelling approaches. Breeders' knowledge and perspective were integrated to provide clear mapping from designed plant types to breeding traits. Nine crop models from the AgMIP‐Rice Project and sensitivity analysis techniques were used to explore trait responses under different climate and management scenarios at four sites. The method demonstrated the potential of yield improvement that ranged from 15.8% to 41.5% compared to the current cultivars under mid‐century climate projections. These results highlight the primary role of phenological traits to improve crop adaptation to climate change, as well as traits involved with canopy development and structure. The variability of plant types derived with different models supported model ensembles to handle related uncertainty. Nevertheless, the models agreed in capturing the effect of the heterogeneity in climate conditions across sites on key traits, highlighting the need for context‐specific breeding programmes to improve crop adaptation to climate change. Although further improvement is needed for crop models to fully support breeding programmes, a trait‐based ensemble approach represents a major step towards the integration of crop modelling and breeding to address climate change challenges and develop adaptation options.

Summary Terpios hoshinota is an aggressive, space‐competing sponge that kills various stony corals. Outbreaks of this species have led to intense damage to coral reefs in many locations. Here, the first large‐scale 16S rRNA gene survey across three oceans revealed that bacteria related to the taxa Prochloron , Endozoicomonas , SAR116, Ruegeria , and unclassified Proteobacteria were prevalent in T . hoshinota . A Prochloron ‐related bacterium was the most dominant and prevalent cyanobacterium in T . hoshinota . The complete genome of this uncultivated cyanobacterium and pigment analysis demonstrated that it has phycobiliproteins and lacks chlorophyll b , which is inconsistent with the definition of Prochloron . Furthermore, the cyanobacterium was phylogenetically distinct from Prochloron , strongly suggesting that it should be a sister taxon to Prochloron . Therefore, we proposed this symbiotic cyanobacterium as a novel species under the new genus Candidatus Paraprochloron terpiosi. Comparative genomic analyses revealed that ‘Paraprochloron’ and Prochloron exhibit distinct genomic features and DNA replication machinery. We also characterized the metabolic potentials of ‘Paraprochloron terpiosi’ in carbon and nitrogen cycling and propose a model for interactions between it and T. hoshinota . This study builds a foundation for the study of the T . hoshinota microbiome and paves the way for better understanding of ecosystems involving this coral‐killing sponge.

Evaluation of Spawning- and Natal-Site Fidelity of Larimichthys polyactis in the Southern Yellow Sea Using Otolith Microchemistry - Dade Song; Ying Xiong; Tao Jiang; Jian Yang; Xiaming Zhong; Jianhua Tang; Zhongjie Kang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Small yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis is an important commercial fish species; however, industrial-scale fishing has largely contributed to the changes in its biological characteristics, such as individual miniaturization, faster growth, and younger average age. Robust understanding of the pivotal life history of L. polyactis , a typical oceanodromous species, is needed for its conservation and restoration. However, L. polyactis fidelity to natal or spawning sites is not well understood and, at present, there is no effective management strategy to guarantee the sustainable exploitation of L. polyactis . This study used laser ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry to analyse the elemental composition of otoliths from 60 adult yellow croakers caught in the southern Yellow Sea, including two spawning groups with 1- and 2-year-old fish (S1 and S2, respectively) sampled close to China and one overwintering group including two-year-old fish (O2) sampled close to South Korea. The ratios of elements (Li, Na, Sr, and Ba) to Ca in the otolith core zones were significantly higher ( P < 0.05) than in those of the year one (Y1) and year two (Y2) annual rings, but there were no significant differences in the elemental ratios between the Y1 and Y2 zones. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the elemental otolith signatures of the core, Y1, and Y2 zones in the three groups revealed two distinct clusters (cluster 1: S1-core, S2-core, and O2-core zones; cluster 2: S2–Y1, O2–Y1, S2–Y2, and O2–Y2 zones) and one zone (S1–Y1), suggesting spawning-site fidelity and natal-site fidelity uncertainty, especially considering the dispersal by current in prolonged period (50 h) from fertilized eggs to hatching and internal effect, such as yolk sac and maternal effect. Furthermore, these results indicated that the S2 and O2 groups could represent the same population, suggesting a stable migratory route for L. polyactis in Chinese and South Korean waters, whereas the S1 group could represent another population. This suggests the possibility a mixed L. polyactis population in the southern Yellow Sea. Characterization L. polyactis spawning-site fidelity is a crucial step toward linking spawning-site fidelity of this overexploited species with thorough conservation and management strategies.

Cardiomyocyte senescence is involved in the pathological mechanism of cardiac diseases. Metoprolol is a β1 receptor blocker used for the treatment of hypertension. Recent studies show that Metoprolol can protect cardiomyocytes against ischemia injury. The present study aims to investigate the protective effects of Metoprolol against arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced cellular senescence in cultured cardiomyocytes. The cell proliferation assay and cytotoxicity lactate dehydrogenase assay showed that the highest tolerated dosage of Metoprolol in H9C2 cardiomyocytes was optimized as 10 µM. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that Metoprolol significantly ameliorated the elevated level of the DNA oxidation product 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine. Metoprolol also decreased the percentage of senescence-associated β-galactosidase positive cells and improved the telomerase activity under AVP exposure. Moreover, treatment with Metoprolol ameliorated the decreased intracellular nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase activity, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAD + /NADPH) ratio, and Sirtuin1 activity in cardiomyocytes by AVP. Finally, Metoprolol was able to downregulate the AVP-induced expression of acetylated p53 and p21. Taken together, our data reveal that Metoprolol protected the cardiomyocytes from AVP-induced senescence.

Our limited understanding of the impacts of drought on tropical forests significantly impedes our ability in accurately predicting the impacts of climate change on this biome. Here, we investigated the impact of drought on the dynamics of forest canopies with different heights using time‐series records of remotely sensed Ku‐band vegetation optical depth (Ku‐VOD), a proxy of top‐canopy foliar mass and water content, and separated the signal of Ku‐VOD changes into drought‐induced reductions and subsequent non‐drought gains. Both drought‐induced reductions and non‐drought increases in Ku‐VOD varied significantly with canopy height. Taller tropical forests experienced greater relative Ku‐VOD reductions during drought and larger non‐drought increases than shorter forests, but the net effect of drought was more negative in the taller forests. Meta‐analysis of in situ hydraulic traits supports the hypothesis that taller tropical forests are more vulnerable to drought stress due to smaller xylem‐transport safety margins. Additionally, Ku‐VOD of taller forests showed larger reductions due to increased atmospheric dryness, as assessed by vapor pressure deficit, and showed larger gains in response to enhanced water supply than shorter forests. Including the height‐dependent variation of hydraulic transport in ecosystem models will improve the simulated response of tropical forests to drought.

Review of Ship Behavior Characteristics in Mixed Waterborne Traffic - Yingjie Tang; Junmin Mou; Linying Chen; Yang Zhou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Through the continuous development of intellectualization, considering the lifecycle of ships, the future of a waterborne traffic system is bound to be a mixed scenario where intelligent ships of different autonomy levels co-exist, i.e., mixed waterborne traffic. According to the three modules of ships’ perception, decision-making, and execution, the roles of humans and machines under different autonomy levels are analyzed. This paper analyzes and summarizes the intelligent algorithms related to the three modules proposed in the last five years. Starting from the characteristics of the algorithms, the behavior characteristics of ships with different autonomous levels are analyzed. The results show that in terms of information perception, relying on the information perception techniques and risk analysis methods, the ship situation can be judged, and the collision risk is evaluated. The risk can be expressed in two forms, being graphical and numerical. The graphical images intuitively present the risk level, while the numerical results are easier to apply into the control link of ships. In the future, it could be considered to establish a risk perception system with digital and visual integration, which will be more efficient and accurate in risk identification. With respect to intelligent decision-making, currently, unmanned ships mostly use intelligent algorithms to make decisions and tend to achieve both safe and efficient collision avoidance goals in a high-complexity manner. Finally, regarding execution, the advanced power control devices could improve the ship’s maneuverability, and the motion control algorithms help to achieve the real-time control of the ship’s motion state, so as to further improve the speed and accuracy of ship motion control. With the upgrading of the autonomy level, the ship’s behavior develops in a safer, more efficient, and more environment-friendly manner.

Seasonal migration patterns and the maintenance of evolutionary diversity in a cryptic bird radiation - Qindong Tang; Reto Burri; Yang Liu; Alexander Suh; Gombobaatar Sundev; Gerald Heckel; Manuel Schweizer (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
Morphological differentiation associated with evolutionary diversification is often explained with adaptive benefits but the processes and mechanisms maintaining cryptic diversity are still poorly understood. Using genome‐wide data, we show here that the pale sand martin Riparia diluta in Central and East Asia consists of three genetically deeply differentiated lineages which vary only gradually in morphology but broadly reflect traditional taxonomy. We detected no signs of gene flow along the eastern edge of the Qinghai‐Tibetan plateau between lowland south‐eastern Chinese R. d . fohkienensis and high‐altitude R. d . tibetana . Largely different breeding and migration timing between these low and high altitude populations as indicated by phenology data suggests that allochrony might act as prezygotic isolation mechanism in the area where their ranges abut. Mongolian populations of R. d . tibetana , however, displayed signs of limited mixed ancestries with Central Asian R. d . diluta . Their ranges meet in the area of a well‐known avian migratory divide, where western lineages take a western migration route around the Qinghai‐Tibetan plateau to winter quarters in South Asia, and eastern lineages take an eastern route to Southeast Asia. This might also be the case between western R. d . diluta and eastern R. d . tibetana as indicated by differing wintering grounds. We hypothesize that hybrids might have nonoptimal intermediate migration routes and selection against them might restrict gene flow. Although further potential isolation mechanisms might exist in the pale sand martin, our study points towards contrasting migration behaviour as an important factor in maintaining evolutionary diversity under morphological stasis.

A Study on the Estimation of Source Bearing in an ASA Wedge: Diminishing the Estimation Error Caused by Horizontal Refraction - Jianbo Zhou; Jun Tang; Yixin Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The performance of warping transformation in diminishing the error in underwater source-bearing estimation, caused by horizontal refraction effects (also named 3D effects), is studied. First, the capability of warping transformation for separating the normal modes, as well as their direct and horizontally refracted paths, in a standard Acoustical Society of America (ASA) wedge is demonstrated. Second, the error values for source bearing estimation in three different manners, i.e., using the full signal, using its component corresponding to the first mode, and using the component of the latter corresponding only to the direct path are compared for the same wedge case. The results show that the estimation error can be significantly reduced by beamforming, with only the first mode, or using the direct path of the first mode in cases where there exists a horizontally refracted path of the first mode.

Impact of institutional constraints on participatory irrigation management: The regulating role of moral obligation* - Liu Yang; Yang Ren; Zhiwei Tang; Yuchun Zhu (Irrigation and Drainage, 2021)
Participatory irrigation management is key to realizing the virtuous circle in which irrigation facilities are used and managed in rural China. Therefore, it is essential to explore the key factors influencing participatory irrigation management. This paper innovatively analyses the impact of external institutional constraints and internal moral obligation of farmers on participatory irrigation management by using a structural equation model (SEM) and drawing on survey data from 1543 householders in the Yellow River basin. The results indicate that: (i) generally, both institutional constraints and moral obligation have significant positive impacts on collective action in participatory irrigation management; (ii) moral obligation plays an active regulating role in the process of institutional constraints affecting collective action; (iii) collective action contributes positively to the performance of participatory irrigation management. This paper shows that institutional constraints and moral obligation need to be taken into account in participatory irrigation management, and these considerations can offer some insights into governments in managing irrigation systems.

The Role of TMEM16A/ERK/NK-1 Signaling in Dorsal Root Ganglia Neurons in the Development of Neuropathic Pain Induced by Spared Nerve Injury (SNI) - Qinyi Chen; Liangjingyuan Kong; Zhenzhen Xu; Nan Cao; Xuechun Tang; Ruijuan Gao; Jingrong Zhang; Shiyu Deng; Chaoyang Tan; Meng Zhang; Yang Wang; Liang Zhang; et al. (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Increasing evidence suggests that transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A) in nociceptive neurons is an important molecular component contributing to peripheral pain transduction. The present study aimed to evaluate the role and mechanism of TMEM16A in chronic nociceptive responses elicited by spared nerve injury (SNI). In this study, SNI was used to induce neuropathic pain. Drugs were administered intrathecally. The expression and cellular localization of TMEM16A, the ERK pathway, and NK-1 in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) were detected by western blot and immunofluorescence. Behavioral tests were used to evaluate the role of TMEM16A and p-ERK in SNI-induced persistent pain and hypersensitivity. The role of TMEM16A in the hyperexcitability of primary nociceptor neurons was assessed by electrophysiological recording. The results show that TMEM16A, p-ERK, and NK-1 are predominantly expressed in small neurons associated with nociceptive sensation. TMEM16A is colocalized with p-ERK/NK-1 in DRG. TMEM16A, the MEK/ERK pathway, and NK-1 are activated in DRG after SNI. ERK inhibitor or TMEM16A antagonist prevents SNI-induced allodynia. ERK and NK-1 are downstream of TMEM16A activation. Electrophysiological recording showed that CaCC current increases and intrathecal application of T16Ainh-A01, a selective TMEM16A inhibitor, reverses the hyperexcitability of DRG neurons harvested from rats after SNI. We conclude that TMEM16A activation in DRG leads to a positive interaction of the ERK pathway with activation of NK-1 production and is involved in the development of neuropathic pain after SNI. Also, the blockade of TMEM16A or inhibition of the downstream ERK pathway or NK-1 upregulation may prevent the development of neuropathic pain.

Diagenesis and reservoir space types of alkaline lake-type shale in Fengcheng Formation of Mahu Sag, Junggar Basin, China - Yang Zhifeng; Tang Yong; Guo Xuguang; Huang Liliang; Chang Qiusheng (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021)
Using observations and descriptions of drilling cores, image logging, microscopic section, argon ion polishing field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and whole-rock trace element analysis, the study of shale reservoir diagenesis and space types in the Fengcheng Formation of the Mahu Sag was conducted. Considering the trace element contents and their ratios (Sr/Ba, V/Ni, Th/U, V/(V + Ni), U/Mo, and Sr/Cu), the Fengcheng Formation is formed in a dry and hot continental lacustrine basin with a paleoenvironment of saltwater and anoxic/lean oxygen conditions. The shale reservoirs of the Fengcheng Formation with the characteristic of multisource mixed sedimentation include terrigenous clastic, volcaniclastics, and carbonate rocks. Currently, the Fengcheng reservoir of the Mahu Sag is in the middle of diagenetic-stage B. The principal factors for reservoir densification are compaction, dissolution, carbonate mineral cementation, and clay mineral cementation. The Fengcheng Formation develops multiple reservoir storage space types, such as rock fractures, stylolites, and micro–nanoscale pore-throat systems. The macroreservoir space types include tectonic, induced, bedding, and dissolution–expansion fracture types. The microreservoir space types include microfractures, stylolites, and micro–nanoscale pore throats. The research showed that the Fengcheng Formation has tectonic fracture-pore systems (tectonic fracture-type reservoirs) and stylolite-matrix pore-tectonic microfracture systems (shale oil reservoirs), forming the shale oil preponderant charging channel network. Reservoir space type and its spatial distribution are the principal factors for shale oil accumulation of the Fengcheng Formation in the Mahu Sag.

The Regulatory Relationships Between the Gonad-Inhibiting Hormone and Insulin-Like Androgenic Gland Hormone-Binding Protein Genes in the Eyestalk-Androgenic Gland-Testis Axis of Macrobrachium rosenbergii - Meizhen Tang; Zhijie Lu; Sarath V Babu; Guang Yang; Yanan Li; Zizheng Xu; Gan Pan; Zhendong Qin; Li Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Gonad-inhibiting hormone (GIH) belongs to a family of neuropeptides that are released from the eyestalks of male crustaceans and plays key roles in gonadal maturity, reproduction, and molting. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying the effects of GIH on sexual regulation have yet to be elucidated. In the present study, we aimed to demonstrate how GIH mediate the activity of the androgenic gland (AG) to affect sexual regulation. To do this, we cloned and characterized a GIH sequence from Macrobrachium rosenbergii ( Mr GIH). The open reading frame (ORF) of Mr GIH was 360 bp and codes for a polypeptide of 119 amino acids and a putative protein of 13.56 KDa. Tissue analysis showed that Mr GIH is widely expressed in a range of tissues but particularly, the eyestalk, intestine, and nerve cord. Following the ds RNA silencing of Mr GIH for 24 h, the expression levels of Mr GIH were down-regulated in both the eyestalk and AG when compared with the negative control, but significantly increased the expression of Macrobrachium rosenbergii insulin-like androgenic gland hormone-binding protein ( Mr IAGBP) in AG, thus suggesting that Mr GIH is an inhibitory factor for Mr IAGBP. In addition, we found that eyestalk removal on certain days led to increased expression levels of Mr IAGBP expression. The expression levels of Mr IAGBP peaked at 2 d in the AG after unilateral and bilateral eyestalk ablation, exhibiting a 7.27- and 6.03-fold increase, respectively. Afterward, the expression of GIH protein levels were down-regulated and IAGBP protein levels were up-regulated after GIH silencing using immunohistochemistry method, combined with the increase of IAGBP protein levels after eyestalk ablation, confirming that Mr GIH is an inhibitory factor that can moderately regulate AG development and IAGBP expression. Collectively, our findings enriched the mechanisms that control the sexual regulation pathway of male M. rosenbergii , and provided significant information for further explorations of the mechanism underlying sex regulation in other decapod crustaceans.
