Mechanism of acclimation to chronic intermittent hypoxia in the gills of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides).

The acclimation response of fish gills to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is an important aspect to understand, as anthropogenically induced hypoxia in water bodies has been a stressor for fish for many years and is expected to persist in the future. In order to investigate the acclimation response of fish gills to CIH stress, we conducted a study using largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) exposed to intermittent hypoxia (dissolved oxygen level, 2.0 mg·L) for either 1 or 3 h per day, over a period of 8 weeks.

Hypoxia induces reversible gill remodeling in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) through integrins-mediated cell adhesion.

Gill remodeling is an important strategy for fish to cope with hypoxia, and many of the teleost possess this ability, but the underlying mechanism is not well understood. To investigate the mechanism of hypoxia-induced gill remodeling, largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) exposed to hypoxia (dissolved oxygen level: 2.0 ± 0.

Aquatic plants combined with microbial fuel cells promote sulfamethoxazole and sul genes removal from aquaculture pond sediments via bioelectrochemistry.

Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the aquaculture environment are receiving increasing public attention as emerging contaminants. In this study, aquatic plant (P) and sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFC) were used individually and in combination (P-SMFC) to simulate in situ remediation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sul genes in aquaculture environments. The results showed that the average power densities of SMFC and P-SMFC were 622.

Chronic hypoxia and Cu exposure induce gill remodeling of largemouth bass through endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial damage and apoptosis.

Hypoxia and Cu pollution often occur simultaneously in aquatic ecosystems and jointly affect physiology of fish. As the respiratory and ion exchange tissue of fish, how gill responds to the stress induced by these two abiotic environmental factors is still unclear. We have conducted a study by exposing largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) to hypoxia (2.

Enhance energy supply of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) in gills during acute hypoxia exposure.

Gills are the location of gas exchange and also the first target organ of fish response for environmental stress. As a multifunctional organ, its energy supply, when faced with insufficient dissolved oxygen in the water, remains unclear. In this study, largemouth bass was subjected to hypoxia stress (1.

The relationship between childhood trauma and Internet gaming disorder among college students: A structural equation model.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of Internet gaming disorder (IGD) and the associated interaction effects of childhood trauma, depression and anxiety in college students.

Methods: Participants were enrolled full-time as freshmen at a University in the Hunan province, China. All participants reported their socio-demographic characteristics and undertook a standardized assessment on childhood trauma, anxiety, depression and IGD.
