Article Abstract
There are many questions regarding the behavior of mercury in the sea-atmosphere system of the northwestern Pacific. Continuous underway measurements of atmospheric gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) and measurements of sea-air GEM evasion fluxes were carried out in the marginal seas of northwestern Pacific from the South China Sea to the Sea of Okhotsk in fall-winter 2019. The median GEM concentration (1.1 ng/m) was lower than both the background value and the averages previously observed in these areas. A latitudinal gradient of atmospheric GEM and GEM evasion fluxes with maximum values at southern latitudes was found. The following areas have been identified as potential source areas: the Kurill area of the Pacific Ocean Northeast China, Korean Peninsula, and the territory from the southwest coast of the Yellow Sea to the south of Indochina. Seasonal variations were observed in the Sea of Japan and East China Sea with higher GEM concentrations in winter than in fall. Our data and analysis of published data showed significant relationships between GEM evasion fluxes, latitude and sea surface temperature (SST). It seems that on a global scale, along with the GEM gradient between water and atmosphere, SST is the most significant parameter for sea-air GEM evasion fluxes.

Malignant tumor metabolic reprogramming drives proliferation and immune evasion by hijacking essential nutrients and shaping an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Although targeting tumor metabolism offers therapeutic promise, selectively modulating aberrant metabolic pathways without affecting normal cells remains a major challenge. Disulfidptosis, a recently identified form of metabolism-dependent regulated cell death, may offer an avenue for metabolic disruption; however, its immunomodulatory potential remains unexplored.

Lake carbon dioxide (CO) evasion is a crucial component of global carbon cycle, yet the influence of environmental factors on CO emissions within different hydrological connectivity remains uncertain. Based on multiple machine learning methods, we investigated seasonal and annual CO fluxes, and the discrepancy in contributions and threshold behaviors of key variables to CO flux variations, in two river-connected lakes (Hongze and Poyang) and two non-river-connected lakes (Chaohu and Taihu). Random Forest performed well in CO flux simulations, with R values ranging from 0.

This study provides a review of 13 oceanographic campaigns between 2000 and 2017 to measure Hg in the Mediterranean, highlighting major findings from measurement and modelling activities during the Med-Oceanor program. The initial campaigns showed that high concentrations of RGM could be found far from industrial source regions and the observed daily variation in concentration, with peaks at midday and lower concentrations during darkness gave the first indications that photochemically mediated oxidation reactions were producing RGM in the MBL. Later atmospheric chemistry modelling studies showed the feasibility of Hg oxidation by bromine containing oxidants, which are released as a result of the acidification of sea salt aerosols in the Marine Boundary Layer (MBL).
