RESUMEN

Cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Diabetes is a major independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Diabetic atherosclerosis is characterized by hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and dyslipidemia. These multiple pathological factors can induce oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction, which can initiate and accelerate atherogenesis. Therefore, the strategy to control the development of diabetic atherosclerosis is beneficial to the patients. Berberine is one of the most promising natural products that feature significant beneficial properties on lipid and glucose metabolism, indicating the potential to improve diabetic atherosclerosis. However, the effect and underlying mechanism against diabetic atherosclerosis remain unclear. In this study, HFD and STZ were used to induce diabetic atherosclerosis in apoE-/- mice, which was followed by berberine administration. Subsequently, the degree of atherosclerotic plaque, plaque stability, and lipid and glucose metabolism were determined. In addition, the underlying mechanism was revealed by in vitro and in vivo experiments. We observed that berberine improved the dysfunction of lipid and glucose metabolism, and inhibited vascular inflammation, which reduced atherogenesis and plaque vulnerability. Mechanistically, berberine stimulated KLF16 and PPARα expression in vivo and in vitro, and activation of PPARα by berberine was through enhancing KLF16 expression and nuclear translocation. Collectively, berberine can attenuate diabetic atherosclerosis via enhancing the interplay between KLF16 and PPARα, suggesting that KLF16 is a new target of berberine and enhancing KLF16 by berberine is an efficient strategy for alleviating diabetic atherosclerosis.

RESUMEN

Engraulis japonicus, an important fishery resource, is a key species in ecosystem trophodynamics studies. In this study, we examined stomach content of E. japonicusby stable isotope analyses, with samples collected from the East China Sea in 2008-2009 and 2020. The aim of this study was to demonstrate their diet composition, diel and ontogenetic changes in feeding habits and trophic level. Results of the stomach content analysis showed that E. japonicus mainly fed on planktonic crustaceans and small fish. The main prey species were Euphausia pacifica [index of relative importance (IRI)=87.6%; frequency(F)=57.6%], Paracalanus parvus (IRI=3.2%, F=15.3%), and Themisto gracilipes (IRI=2.1%, F=13.1%). Results of the stable isotope analysis showed that Copepoda were the main food source of E. japonicus, followed by Euphausiacea, and the contribution rate of Amphipoda was the least, which was less than 1%. There was significant diel change in diet composition. Feeding intensity was higher in the daytime than at night, with the highest in the dusk and the lowest at midnight. Ontogenetic change in feeding habit occurred when fork length reached 90 mm, over which the fish fed both zooplankton and small fishes. The δ13C of E. japonicus was between -21.66‰ and -18.14‰, with an average of (-19.92±0.86)‰. The δ15N of E. japonicus ranged from 4.07‰ to 10.78‰, with an average of (8.14±2.48)‰. Both δ13C and δ15N values were positively correlated with fork length. Trophic level of the fish was 3.4 with stomach content analysis and 2.7 with stable isotope analysis. The results would provide important reference for understanding nutritional status of pelagic small fish, and offer some basic data to establish ecopath model.

RESUMEN

We investigated population structure, resource density changes of Larimichthys polyactis and its relationship with environmental factors in spring, based on the survey data of bottom trawl in adjacent sea areas of Zhoushan fishery spawning ground protection area from 2014 to 2019. The results showed that the relationship between body length and body weight of Larimichthys polyactis was W=0.44×10-4×L2.78, and parameter b was less than 3, which indicated that L. polyactis had negative allometric growth in recent years. There was a negative correlation between fullness and body length, with body becoming slender. From 2014 to 2019, body length and weight of L. polyactis were the highest in 2014 and the lowest in 2019. Since 2014, population size of L. polyactis in Zhoushan fishery spawning ground protection area and adjacent sea area had gradually decreased, indicating that the miniaturization of L. polyactis had not altered in recent years. From the perspective of the annual change of resource density, resource density of L. polyactis was higher than that before the establishment of the reserve, indicating that the management and protection of the reserve area played a protective role in the recovery of L. polyactis resources. The fitting results of GAM model showed that water depth and bottom water temperature were the environmental factors closely related to the density distribution of L. polyactis resources. With increasing water depth, the resources showed a fluctuating upward trend and were the highest near the water depth of 60 m. In the range of 12-16 ℃ water temperature, the resources increased with the increases of bottom water temperature. When water temperature was above 16 ℃, resources decreased with the increases of bottom water temperature.
