Seasonal Spatio-Temporal Model Improves Refined Stock Assessment and Management of Japanese Sardine () in the Northwest Pacific Ocean.

Accurate estimation of fish stock abundance and exploitability is critical for effective fishery management; however, fishery-dependent data are often affected by temporal and spatial heterogeneities due to the seasonal migration of fish, posing challenges for refined stock management. Previous studies have largely ignored these spatio-temporal dynamics, assuming static populations. This study develops a seasonal spatio-temporal model for Japanese sardine () in the Northwest Pacific Ocean (NPO), using fishery-dependent data from 2014 to 2022.

Analysis of multi-scale effects and spatial heterogeneity of environmental factors influencing purse seine tuna fishing activities in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean.

Understanding the spatial fishing activity distribution characteristics is important for the sustainable development of fisheries. Spatial nonstationarity is always present, especially in marine ecosystems. To explore how marine environmental factors affect the fishing effort of tuna purse seine vessels, data from 2015 to 2020 on the fishing activities of these fleets and environmental variables in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) were analyzed.

Spatial information extraction of fishing grounds for light purse seine vessels in the Northwest Pacific Ocean based on AIS data.

Ecological fishery management requires high-precision fishery information to support resource management and marine spatial planning. In this paper, the Automatic Identification System (AIS) was adopted to extract the spatial information on the fishing grounds of light purse seine vessels in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The spatial distributions of fishing grounds mapped by the data mining, kernel density analysis and hotspot analysis methods were compared.

The efficacy and safety of retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle ligation of lymphatic disconnection versus open surgery in the treatment of chyluria: A systematic review and meta-analysis .

Objective: The current meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle ligation of lymphatic disconnection (RRPLD) compared with open surgery (OS) in the treatment of chyluria.

Materials And Methods: Relevant studies were retrieved from MEDLINE, EMBASE, -SCOPUS, the Cochrane library and two Chinese literature database resources (Wanfang and CNKI) in March 2016. All eligible studies comparing RRPLD with OS for chyluria were included in this study.

SOCS6 Functions as a Tumor Suppressor by Inducing Apoptosis and Inhibiting Angiogenesis in Human Prostate Cancer.

Background: Our previous studies revealed that the downregulation of Suppressor of cytokine signaling 6 (SOCS6) was correlated with malignant progression of human prostate cancer (PCa).

Aims: In the current study, we aimed to investigate the tumor suppressive roles of SOCS6 and the underlying mechanisms in PCa.

Methods: SOCS6 expression in PCa and non-cancerous prostate tissues was compared by immunohistochemistry.

Supine Versus Prone Position in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for Kidney Calculi: A Meta-Analysis.

Background: There are several positions in the operation of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), such as prone position, supine position, flank position, and modified supine position for PCNL, but the supine and prone positions are the main two choices for several years. However, there is still discrepancy on the optimal position for PCNL. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to evaluate safety and efficacy of the supine versus the prone position in PCNL for renal calculi.
