    Abstract Concentrations of trace metals (TMs) in the ocean provide important information that allows assessment of ocean productivity, carbon sequestration, Earth’s history and future climate. Studying the biogeochemical cycles of TMs in the ocean is nowadays often part of the investigations of ocean processes including biological assimilation and remineralization, large-scale ocean circulation, ocean-boundary exchange, sedimentary records and ocean deoxygenation. Some TMs are bio-essential micronutrients for phytoplankton, including cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), copper (Co), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni) and Zinc (Zn), whereas some can be toxic at high concentrations such as Cu and lead (Pb). Some TMs are sensitive to seawater oxygen conditions (Fe, Co and Mn). Other TMs can act as tracers of ocean circulation (Cd and Ni), supply and scavenging (aluminum (Al)) and anthropogenic contamination (Pb). The study of multiple TMs simultaneously is a powerful tool to gain process insights into the ocean system. We performed a detailed investigation into TM distributions across the Benguela Upwelling System (BUS), Congo River margin (Congo shelf and offshore Congo plume) and eastern South Atlantic as part of the GEOTRACES GA08 cruise. Our objective was to asses TM sources, fluxes and internal cycling.

    Abstract Whether cervical spondylosis (CS) is a risk factor for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) remains unclear. This study used national population-based data to investigate the risk of SSNHL in patients with CS in Taiwan of different ages and sexes. This study used data covering 2 million people in Taiwan, which were obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database. The data that support the findings of this study are available from National Health Insurance Research Database but restrictions apply to the availability of these data, which were used under license for the current study, and so are not publicly available. Data are however available from the corresponding authors upon reasonable request and with permission of National Health Insurance Research Database. This retrospective cohort study enrolled 91,587 patients with a newly diagnosed CS between January 2000 and December 2018. Case and control cohorts were matched 1:1 according to age, sex, and comorbidities. SSNHL incidence rate and risk were compared between the groups. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The mean follow-up period was 8.80 (SD = 4.12) and 8.24 (SD = 4.09) years in the CS and control cohorts, respectively. The incidence rate of SSNHL in the CS cohort (85.28 per 100 000 person-years) was 1.49-fold significantly higher than that in the non-CS cohort (57.13 per 100,000 person-years) (95% CI 1.32-1.68, P < .001). After age, sex, and selected comorbidities were adjusted for, CS exhibited an independent risk factor for SSNHL (adjusted HR = 1.52; 95% CI   1.34-1.71, P < .001). An age-stratified analysis in this study demonstrated a strong and highly significant association between CS and SSNHL in patients aged < 35 years (IRR = 2.28, 95% CI   1.18-4.39, P = .013). This large-scale Taiwanese-population-based retrospective study found that CS was associated with an increased risk of SSNHL. Acute hearing loss in patients with CS, particularly at a young age, should be carefully evaluated, and prompt treatment for SSNHL should be initiated.

    Abstract This study explored the influence of public servants’ green attitude, green behavior intention, organization environmental strategy, green lifestyle, and formalism on green behavior. For Taiwan’s government agencies, environmental protection and sustainable development issues must be inculcated into government organizations and deeply ingrained into the mindset of civil servants. In particular, this research incorporates the concept of ‘formalism’ proposed by Riggs in administrative ecology. Exploration of the influence of civil servants’ cognition of formalism on green behavior has not been explored in any previous studies. This study collected 308 valid public servants who worked in the public sector in Taiwan and used Lisrel and SEM to justify the hypotheses explored. The results showed that civil servants’ green attitude positively affected green intention, as well as the fact that green behavior intention, organization environmental strategy, and green lifestyle positively affected green behavior. The current study also confirmed that formalism negatively affected green behavior. Formalism is considered to be an important attribute of developing administration, and it is also considered to be a resistance to the adoption of administrative innovation. This study first confirmed the negative impact of formalism on the green behavior of civil servants.

    Abstract Zinc is a vital trace element for normal function of the living system. In male, zinc is involved in various biological processes, an important function of which is as a balancer of hormones such as testosterone. For this purpose, studies related to the influence of zinc on serum testosterone were selected and summarized, including the effect of dietary zinc deficiency and zinc supplementation on testosterone concentrations. After preliminary searching of papers on databases, 38 papers including 8 clinical and 30 animal studies were included in this review. We concluded that zinc deficiency reduces testosterone levels and zinc supplementation improves testosterone levels. Furthermore, the effect degree of zinc on serum testosterone may vary depending on basal zinc and testosterone levels, zinc dosage form, elementary zinc dose, and duration. In conclusion, serum zinc was positively correlated with total testosterone, and moderate supplementation plays an important role in improving androgen.

    Abstract Since the end of 2019, COVID-19 has continued to spread around the world. The police have performed various epidemic prevention and routine duties. This study explores how police officers' COVID-19 fear, resistance to organizational change, intolerance of uncertainty, and secondary trauma affect emotional exhaustion and insomnia in the context of COVID-19. A total of 205 valid police samples were collected in this study, and the established hypotheses were tested using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results of the study confirmed that during the COVID-19 outbreak, secondary trauma of police officers positively affects emotional exhaustion and insomnia; intolerance of uncertainty positively affects emotional exhaustion; resistance to organizational change positively affects intolerance of uncertainty and emotional exhaustion; intolerance of uncertainty mediates the relationship between resistance to organizational change and emotional exhaustion; COVID-19 fear positively influences secondary trauma.

    Abstract Mesenchymal stem cell exosome (MSCs-exo) is a class of products secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that contain various biologically active substances. MSCs-exo is a promising alternative to MSCs due to their lower immunogenicity and lack of ethical constraints. Ginsenoside Rh2 (Rh2) is a hydrolyzed component of the primary active substance of ginsenosides. Rh2 has a variety of pharmacological functions, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antioxidant. Studies have demonstrated that gut microbiota and metabolites are critical in developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we constructed a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model in rats. We used MSCs-exo combined with Rh2 to treat CIA rats. To observe the effect of MSCs-exo combined with Rh2 on joint inflammation, rat feces were collected for 16 rRNA amplicon sequencing and untargeted metabolomics analysis. The results showed that the arthritis index score and joint swelling of CIA rats treated with MSCs-exo in combination with Rh2 were significantly lower than those of the model and MSCs-exo alone groups. MSCs-exo and Rh2 significantly ameliorated the disturbed gut microbiota in CIA rats. The regulation of Candidatus_Saccharibacteria and Clostridium_XlVb regulation may be the most critical. Rh2 enhanced the therapeutic effect of MSCs-exo compared with the MSCs-exo -alone group. Furthermore, significant changes in gut metabolites were observed in the CIA rat group, and these differentially altered metabolites may act as messengers for host-microbiota interactions. These differential metabolites were enriched into relevant critical metabolic pathways, revealing possible pathways for host-microbiota interactions.

    Abstract Global ornamental fish transportation ranging from hours to days can produce multiple stress factors impact fish health and cause mortality. Clownfish, particularly Amphiprion ocellaris, are among the most traded saltwater ornamental fish. Vibrio includes several pathogenic strains that affect aquatic animals. Consequently, prophylactic treatment of the water or fish is recommended. In this study, six Vibrio strains including V. alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus and V. harveyi isolated from sick A. ocellaris and one V. harveyi strain from a sick East Asian fourfinger threadfin (Eleutheronema rhadinum) were tested for their sensitivity to a popular disinfectant, chlorine dioxide (ClO
