二氧化硫对大鼠肺泡细胞和肺泡灌洗液的生化效应

研究了二氧化硫(SO2)对大鼠支气管肺泡灌洗细胞和肺泡灌洗液(BALF)的生化指标的影响。结果表明，吸入SO2后大鼠BALF中肺泡巨噬细胞数量增加、但比例减少，中性粒细胞和淋巴细胞数量和比例均增加，并存在剂量一效应关系；熏气后BALF的pH下降、蛋白质含量和肺通透指数升高，BALF中酸性磷酸酶、碱性磷酸酶和乳酸脱氢酶活性升高，脂质过氧化水平提高：这些细胞和生物化学指标的改变从不同的方面反映了SO2可引起大鼠肺组织和肺泡细胞的结构和功能的损伤。     

大气细颗粒物致大鼠肺泡巨噬细胞DNA损伤

运用单细胞凝胶电泳技术,研究了太原市大气细颗粒物(PM2.5)对分离的大鼠肺泡巨噬细胞 DNA 的损伤作用.结果表明,在 PM2.5浓度分别为 0,75,150,300,450μg/mL 的染毒条件下,染毒 1h 后,大鼠肺泡巨噬细胞 DNA 拖尾长度分别为 2.82,6.76,10.25,14.47,23.87μm;染毒 4h后,DNA 拖尾长度分别为 2.80,18.15,32.90,43.22,55.51μm;染毒 10h 后,DNA 拖尾长度分别为 2.49,26.57,39.73,52.10,70.09μm.由此可见,PM2.5可引起大鼠肺泡巨噬细胞 DNA 的损伤,且随着 PM2.5浓度的增加及染毒时间的延长而加剧,呈明确的剂量-效应关系和时间-效应关系.     

二氧化硫对小鼠肺细胞DNA损伤的研究

运用单细胞凝胶电泳技术（又称彗星试验）研究了SO2吸入对小鼠肺细胞DNA的损伤。结果发现，SO2可引起小鼠肺细胞DNA损伤，随SO2吸入浓度的增高而DNA损伤加重，具有明确的剂量效应关系。结果指出，即使在低浓度SO2吸入（7mg/m^3）的条件下，有DNA损伤的肺细胞也达96．8％，表明肺细胞对SO2的毒作用非常敏感。结果还指出，SO2对雌性小鼠肺细胞的DNA损伤比雄性小鼠弱，其原因尚待研究。     

SO2对大鼠肺泡巨噬细胞膜脂流动性及酶活性的影响

采用直接吸入染毒法,对SO2吸入大鼠的肺泡巨噬细胞(AM)进行提取,测定了大鼠吸入SO2后AM细胞膜表层和疏水区膜脂流动性、ATP酶、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性以及细胞膜脂质过氧化程度.结果表明,AM细胞膜脂荧光偏振度升高,细胞膜疏水区和表层膜脂流动性均显著降低;AM细胞膜结合酶ATPase活性与SO2浓度呈现显著负相关性;AM细胞膜SOD活性下降,脂质过氧化水平升高各项指标与SO2浓度之间均呈现一定的浓度-效应关系.     

二氧化硫对心肌细胞线粒体损伤的分子机制探讨

采用Wistar大鼠作为模型进行整体动物动式吸入染毒,在大鼠吸入不同浓度SO2(0、7、14、28 mg·m-3,7 d,6 h·d-1)后,采用荧光定量PCR技术检测心肌细胞中由线粒体DNA(mtDNA)编码的细胞色素C氧化酶和ATP合酶的几种亚基及调控线粒体呼吸链组分的核转录因子PGC-1α、NRF-1和mtTFA的mRNA水平.结果发现,SO2染毒后,随着SO2浓度的升高,大鼠心肌中细胞色素C氧化酶3种亚基(CO1、CO2、CO3)和ATP合酶两种亚基(ATP68)mRNA表达水平均显著降低,调控基因PGC-1α、NRF1和mtTFA的mRNA表达水平也显著降低.提示大鼠吸入SO2后,可能通过降低心肌中PGC-1α表达,影响其与NRF1结合及对mtTFA调控,进一步抑制线粒体基因组的转录,最终可能使大鼠心肌线粒体的氧化磷酸化功能受损,进而引起心衰等心血管疾病.     

太原市冬季灰霾天气大气PM_(2.5)对肺泡巨噬细胞的氧化损伤作用

为研究太原市冬季灰霾天气下大气PM2.5对肺泡巨噬细胞(AM)的毒性作用,采用采集于2011年12月30—31日的灰霾PM2.5悬浮液体外处理大鼠AM(终浓度分别为0、33、100、300μg·m L-1),用MTT法检测细胞活力,用酶标仪测定胞内超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、丙二醛(MDA)及Ca2+浓度,并用流式细胞仪测定胞内活性氧(ROS)和细胞凋亡状况.结果表明:随着PM2.5浓度增大,AM存活率、SOD和GSH-Px活性下降,MDA及ROS含量和Ca2+浓度升高,均呈现剂量-效应关系,细胞早期凋亡率也随着染毒浓度的增加呈现升高趋势,揭示了太原市灰霾PM2.5可使AM产生氧化应激,引起细胞脂质过氧化损伤和凋亡发生.     

SO2致小鼠肝蛋白质氧化损伤和DNA-蛋白质交联作用

探讨了SO2对小鼠肝组织蛋白质的氧化损伤作用及其分子机制.结果表明,SO2可致雌、雄小鼠肝蛋白质羰基(PCO)含量升高,且呈浓度-效应关系.雌性小鼠肝PCO含量升高较雄性小鼠明显.SO2可致雌、雄小鼠肝细胞DNA-蛋白质交联(DPC)升高,且呈现浓度-效应关系,但这种升高仅在SO2浓度为28,56mg/m3时才具有显著意义.雌性小鼠肝细胞DPC升高较雄性小鼠明显.其分子机制可能是SO2吸入后,导致机体产生·OH和O2-·或直接抑制机体抗氧化系统酶的活性,使机体中过量的自由基堆积,继而对蛋白质和DNA产生损伤.     

沙尘暴PM2.5水溶和有机成分对巨噬细胞的损伤

用超纯水或二氯甲烷从甘肃省武威市和内蒙古包头市采集的沙尘暴细颗粒物(PM2.5)中提取水溶成分和有机成分,于体外处理大鼠肺泡巨噬细胞4h,测定细胞谷胱甘肽(GSH)和丙二醛(MDA)含量、质膜ATP酶活性、膜表层和膜脂疏水区流动性、胞质内游离钙离子(Ca2+)浓度以及细胞培养液中乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和酸性磷酸酶(ACP)活性.结果表明,沙尘暴PM2.5水溶成分可抑制质膜Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP酶、Na+-K+-ATP酶活性,降低质膜表层和膜脂疏水区流动性,增加胞质LDH外渗,并使细胞脂质过氧化作用增强、抗氧化能力减弱,但对ACP和Ca2+浓度影响不大;有机成分除引起胞质LDH渗漏、质膜Na+-K+-ATP酶活性下降外,对其它测定指标的影响无统计学意义.说明沙尘暴PM2.5水溶和有机成分均可对肺泡巨噬细胞产生毒性,其中水溶成分的毒性作用大于有机成分.

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.

Organochlorine pesticides in soils under different land usage in the Taihu Lake region, China

A field study was conducted in the Taihu Lake region, China in 2004 to reveal the organochlorine pesticide concentrations in soils after the ban of these substances in the year 1983. Thirteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were analyzed in soils from paddy field, tree land and fallow land. Total organochlorine pesticide residues were higher in agricultural soils than in uncultivated fallow land soils. Among all the pesticides, ΣDDX (DDD, DDE and DDT) had the highest concentration for all the soil samples, ranging from 3.10 ng/g to 166.55 ng/g with a mean value of 57.04 ng/g and followed by ΣHCH, ranging from 0.73 ng/g to 60.97 ng/g with a mean value of 24.06 ng/g. Dieldrin, endrin, HCB and α-endosulfan were also found in soils with less than 15 ng/g. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT in soils under three land usages were: paddy field ＞ tree land ＞ fallow land, indicating that land usage inlfuenced the degradation of DDT in soils. Ratios of p,p'-(DDD DDE)/DDT ＞1, showing aged residues of DDTs in soils of the Taihu Lake region. The results were discussed with data from a former study that showed very low actual concentrations of HCH and DDT in soils in the Taihu Lake region, but according to the chemical half-lives and their concentrations in soils in 1980s, the concentration of DDT in soils seemed to be underestimated. In any case our data show that the ban on the use of HCH and DDT resulted in a tremendous reduction of these pesticide residues in soils, but there are still high amounts of pesticide residues in soils, which need more remediation processes.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.
