    Abstract Abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is a global challenge that negatively affects marine environment through plastic pollution and continued capture of marine animals, so-called "ghost fishing". In different pot fisheries, ghost fishing related to ALDFG is of concern, including pot fishery targeting swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus). This study quantified the ghost fishing efficiency by comparing it to the catch efficiency of actively fished pots of the commercial fishery. The results showed that the ghost fishing affects both target and bycatch species. On average, the ghost fishing pots captured 12.53 % (confidence intervals: 10.45 %-15.00 %) undersized crab and 15.70 % (confidence intervals: 12.08 %-20.74 %) legal-sized crab compared to the actively fished pots. Few individuals of several bycatch species were also captured by ghost fishing pots. The results of this study emphasized the need to develop new management strategies for reducing marine pollution by ALDFG and associated negative effects in this pot fishery.

    Abstract Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of kidney failure. Lysozyme (LYZ) is an essential component of innate immunity and exhibits antibacterial properties. However, LYZ has been reported to induce nephropathy, implying a possible association between impaired renal function and lysozyme expression.
    Material and methods: Bioinformatics analysis was used to predict the hub gene associated with DN, and the differential expression of the hub gene was confirmed using a mouse model. A mouse model of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic nephropathy was established to investigate the correlation between DN and LYZ expression, and the functionality of LYZ was verified through knockdown and overexpression experiments conducted
    Results: Mechanistically, 25 mM glucose promotes the expression of LYZ in fibroblastic cells, and LYZ may in turn promote the proliferation of renal interstitial fibroblasts. Western blot shows that glucose can activate STAT3 in an LYZ-dependent manner, and the JAK inhibitor AG490 can partially suppress LYZ-induced STAT3 activation. Furthermore,
    Conclusions: Lysozyme promotes kidney fibrosis via the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway in diabetic nephropathy, and glucose may promote fibroblast proliferation by promoting LYZ auto-secretion.

    Abstract (1) Background: There are few diagnostic and therapeutic targets for myocardial remodeling in the salvageable non-infarcted myocardium. (2) Methods: Hub genes were identified through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis (GSE775, GSE19322, and GSE110209 from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database) and the biological functions of hub genes were examined by gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. Furthermore, the differential expression of hub genes in various cell populations between the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and sham-operation groups was analyzed by processing scRNA data (E-MTAB-7376 from the ArrayExpress database) and RNA-seq data (GSE183168).

    Abstract The bycatch issue is a major concern in small-scale accordion-shaped trap fisheries in the Yellow Sea of China because of the poor species and size selectivity of fishing gear and the co-occurrence of multispecies. Two threatened flatfish species assessed by the IUCN, marbled flounder (Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae) and stone flounder (Platichthys bicoloratus), are the two main bycatches in accordion-shaped trap fisheries. This fishery also captures a large proportion of juvenile target species, resulting in both recruitment and growth overfishing of these species. In this study, we introduced a new concept of a combined sorting grid and escape vent (CSEV), a selection device aimed at reducing the bycatch of flatfish and undersized target species in mixed-species trap fisheries. We used a catch comparison method to assess the performance of the CSEV in field experiments, with conventional traps as the baseline. Our results demonstrated that the CSEV significantly improved the species and size selectivity of the traps. Test traps mounted with the CSEV significantly reduced the catch rates of marbled flounder and stone flounder by 70% and 74% throughout the length class, respectively, compared with conventional traps. The catch of undersized target species, namely, fat greenling (Hexagrammos otakii), black rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii), and Asian paddle crab (Charybdis japonica), was reduced by 79%, 75%, and 80%, respectively, while the catch rates of target-sized individuals were maintained or even improved. Given these promising results, the CSEV may have great potential for application in accordion-shaped trap fisheries and similar fisheries.

    Abstract Different subtypes of breast cancer express positively G protein‐coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1). Our previous studies found that tetrachlorobisphenol A (TCBPA) and bisphenol AF (BPAF) significantly promoted SK‐BR‐3 cell proliferation by activating GPER1‐regulated signals. The present study further investigated the effects of TCBPA and BPAF on the migration of SK‐BR‐3 cells and examined the role of phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase‐protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) and its downstream signal targets in this process. We found that low‐concentration BPAF and TCBPA markedly accelerated the migration of SK‐BR‐3 cells and elevated the mRNA levels of target genes associated with PI3K/Akt and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signals. TCBPA‐ and BPAF‐induced upregulation of target genes was significantly reduced by GPER1 inhibitor G15, the PI3K/Akt inhibitor wortmannin (WM), and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor ZD1839 (ZD). G15 and WM also decreased cell migration induced by TCBPA and BPAF. The findings revealed that TCBPA and BPAF promoted SK‐BR‐3 cell migration ability by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway via GPER1‐EGFR.

    Abstract Environmental estrogens can promote the growth, migration, and invasion of breast cancer. However, few studies evaluate adverse health impacts of environmental estrogens on other organs of breast cancer patients. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of environmental estrogen bisphenol AF (BPAF) on the main organs of female Balb/cA nude mice with SK-BR-3 xenograft tumor by detecting the organ development and gene expression of targets associated with G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1)-mediated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways in hypothalamus, ovary, uterus, liver, and kidney. The results showed that BPAF at 20 mg/kg bw/day markedly increased the uterine weight and the uterine coefficient of nude mice compared to SK-BR-3 bearing tumor control, indicating that BPAF promoted the growth of uterus due to its estrogenic activity. Additionally, BPAF significantly up-regulated the mRNA relative expression of most targets related to nuclear estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and GPER1-mediated signaling pathways in the hypothalamus, followed by the ovary and uterus, and the least in the liver and kidney, indicating that BPAF activated different estrogen activity related targets in different tissues. In addition, BPAF markedly up-regulated the mRNA expression of GPER1 in all tested tissues, and the molecular docking showed that BPAF could dock into GPER1. Because gene change is an early event of toxicity response, these findings suggested that BPAF might aggravate the condition of breast cancer patients through exerting its estrogenic activity via the GPER1 pathway in various organs.

    Abstract Exploring future land use changes and assessing the habitat quality remains a challenging topic for watershed ecological sustainability. However, most studies ignore the effects of coupled climate change and development patterns. In this study, a framework for assessing habitat quality under the influence of future land use change is constructed based on exploring the driving forces of land use change factors and integrating the system dynamics (SD) model, future land use simulation (FLUS) model and InVest model. The framework enables the projection of land use change and the assessment of habitat quality in the context of future climate change and different development strategies. Applying the framework to the Weihe River Basin, the main driving forces of land-use change in the Weihe River Basin were identified based on geographical detectors, and habitat quality assessment was realized for the Weihe River Basin under the coupled scenarios of three typical shared socioeconomic pathways and future development patterns (SSP126-EP, SSP245-ND, SSP585-EG). The results show that 1) population, precipitation, and temperature are the major driving factors for land use change. 2) The coupling model of SD and FLUS can effectively simulate the future trend of land use change, the relative error is within 2 %, and the overall accuracy is 93.58 %. 3) Significant differences in habitat quality as a result of modifications in land use patterns in different contexts. Affected by ecological protection, the habitat quality in SSP126-EP was significantly better than that in SSP245-ND and SSP585-EG. This research can provide references for future watershed ecological management decisions.
