超高效液相色谱/三重四极杆质谱联用(ACQUITY UPLC/Xevo TQ-S)检测蜂花粉中吡虫啉残留量

正在分析复杂环境样品中的痕量污染物时,通常会受到基质的严重干扰,使得在进行亚ng·g-1浓度水平检测时,所用仪器面临着必须满足灵敏度要求的挑战.杀虫剂暴露会对蜂群产生致死和亚致死效应,若要监控这些效应带来的影响则需要对蜜蜂和蜂产品中的杀虫剂水平进行可靠定量.某地区使用吡虫啉杀虫剂来应对昆虫的侵害,我们对该地区的蜜蜂样本及花粉产品进行了吡虫啉残留分析,花粉中平均含有20%蛋白质和6%总脂肪,并且还含有大量的维生素、脂肪酸、

抗生素对微生物的联合与低剂量毒性研究进展

目前抗生素已成为一类不可忽视的环境污染物,它在环境中呈"混合-持久-低剂量"的暴露特征。因此,研究抗生素毒性效应,特别是它的联合毒性以及低剂量下毒性兴奋效应,对抗生素污染物生态风险的评价极其重要。以抗生素联合毒性的研究进展为主线,重点概述了抗生素二元混合物的急性和慢性联合毒性研究,指出了抗生素混合物间存在相互作用,它们的联合毒性并非表现为简单的加和或独立效应,且抗生素急性-慢性联合表现出的毒性效应也存在差异;发现了不仅单一抗生素具有Hormesis效应,低剂量抗生素二元混合物也具有Hormesis作用。但目前低剂量抗生素二元混合物对微生物的毒性兴奋效应研究较少,其毒性兴奋效应的预测和评价还有待进一步完善,以期为环境中抗生素的联合生态研究和风险评价提供理论依据。     

磺胺类抗生素对不同革兰氏阴性菌的毒物兴奋效应研究

抗生素滥用所导致的环境问题日益受到人们的关注,抗生素在环境中常以低剂量的形式暴露,生物体在低浓度的抗生素作用下通常会表现出毒物兴奋效应(hormesis)。因此,研究抗生素的hormesis,对抗生素的生态风险评价极其重要。为了研究抗生素的hormesis,本文选取4种磺胺类抗生素为研究对象,观测了不同浓度培养基下磺胺对大肠杆菌能否产生hormesis。结果表明,磺胺对大肠杆菌在原倍和0.8倍浓度的培养基下不产生hormesis,在0.6和0.4倍浓度的培养基下产生hormesis;并且,结合我们之前对另一种革兰氏阴性菌——费氏弧菌hormesis的研究可知,对于具有不同群体感应系统的2种革兰氏阴性菌,都存在hormesis,磺胺可以通过作用群体感应系统使革兰氏阴性菌产生hormesis,只是hormesis的大小不同。上述研究结果为抗生素的生态风险评价提供了依据,为hormesis的相关研究提供了参考。     

草甘膦对旋链角毛藻和盐生杜氏藻的毒性兴奋效应(Stimulation Effect of Glyphosate on Chaetoceros curvisetus and Dunallelia salina)

为研究农药对海洋微藻的毒性兴奋效应(低剂量刺激生长效应),实验测定了不同时间点、不同剂量草甘膦(Glyphosate)对旋链角毛藻(Chaetoceros curvisetus)和盐生杜氏藻(Dunallelia salina)生长的影响,并使用Log-Logistic修正模型和三维模型对实验结果进行拟合.结果表明,草甘膦对两种海洋微藻均存在不同程度的刺激生长效应,修正的Log-Logistic生长模型和三维模型拟合结果不存在显著性差异,但由于不需编程且能得到更多参数,因此使用Log-Logistic修正模型能够更好地描述草甘膦对藻类的剂量-反应结果.     

环境内分泌干扰物低剂量-效应研究进展

环境内分泌干扰物(EDCs)的低剂量-效应已成为生态毒理学界的研究热点.环境内分泌干扰物在接近或低于无可见不良效应浓度水平(NOAEL)时仍可诱发生物效应并存在非单调剂量-效应关系,这对现行的动物繁殖和发育毒理学检测规程以及环境内分泌干扰物风险评价的理论和方法提出了挑战.此外,由于环境中内分泌干扰物呈低剂量长期暴露的特征,研究低剂量-效应对正确进行生态风险评价具有重大的科学意义.在总结国内外相关研究的基础上,对当前环境内分泌干扰物低剂量-效应的研究进展进行了综述.     

环境浓度水平的镍对不同生命阶段秀丽线虫(Cae-norhabditis elegans)体长与运动的刺激效应

毒物兴奋效应(hormesis)受到广泛关注。本文以秀丽线虫(Caenorhabditis elegans)的L1(自虫卵开始培养10 h)、L3阶段(36 h)和年轻成虫阶段(72 h)为起始暴露阶段,进行环境浓度(3.18E-3、3.18E-2、3.18E-1和3.18μmol·L-1)水平的72 h镍暴露试验,以体长与行为学指标为终点研究了不同生命阶段对毒物兴奋效应的影响。在所有暴露浓度下,镍对L1线虫的体长均表现出显著的刺激效应,3个较高浓度下(3.18E-2、3.18E-1和3.18μmol·L-1)的刺激效应相似,均表现为比空白多23.6%(P0.05)的水平;L3线虫的体长在低浓度受到刺激,在高浓度受到抑制,表现为毒物兴奋效应;年轻成虫在所设4个浓度下均没有显著响应。在所有暴露浓度下,镍对L1线虫的身体弯曲运动无显著效应;镍对L3线虫的身体弯曲频率表现为刺激效应,并且该刺激效应随暴露浓度增加,先增加后减小,在3.18E-2μmol·L-1表现出最大刺激效应,比空白多59.0%(P0.05);镍对年轻成虫的身体弯曲频率表现为比空白多17.7%~30.1%(P0.05)的刺激效应,该刺激效应在不同浓度下不具有显著性差异。镍对L1线虫的倒退运动表现出显著的、随暴露浓度增加而增加的刺激效应,在3.18μmol·L-1表现出最大刺激效应,比空白多187.0%(P0.05);镍对L3线虫的倒退运动在3.18μmol·L-1下表现为比空白多22.7%(P0.05)的刺激效应;镍对年轻成虫的倒退运动在较高的3个浓度下(3.18E-2、3.18E-1和3.18μmol·L-1)表现为比空白多46.7%~86.7%(P0.05)的刺激效应。研究揭示环境浓度水平的镍暴露对不同生命阶段秀丽线虫的体长与运动具有不同程度的刺激效应。

Exploring the diversity of neem bioactives as eco-benign pesticides: a reappraisal

Biological activity of neem seeds, leaves and bark is well-established as feeding deterrent and growth disrupter against insects and other arthropods. Neem is a valuable natural pesticide with low toxicity for vertebrates. However, it has not yet achieved a prominent place among pesticides due to its unstability. Recent studies have focused on newer formulations like microencapsulation, inclusion complexes, microemulsion, and granular formulations to enhance efficacy shelf life. Several studies have been undertaken on the effects of neem on predator, parasitoids, and other beneficial organisms as well as impact on the environment. Biotechnological interventions have been carried out for mass production of the active molecule. Once stable formulations of the active molecules are developed, the farming community will benefit the most due to the low toxicity and marked efficacy of neem insecticides.     

Toxicity of the pyrethroid bifenthrin insecticide

Bifenthrin is a chiral synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that has been commonly used for agricultural and domestic pest control over the past decades. Due to its widespread application, residues of bifenthrin has been frequently detected in environmental media, residential areas and biota, thus posing potential risks to the health of wildlife and humans. In particular, bifenthrin exhibits high acute lethal toxicity to aquatic species, and it is the primary contributor to the toxicity of insecticides in waters. Additionally, bifenthrin can also cause sublethal toxic effects on various non-target organisms, including developmental toxicity, neurobehavioral toxicity, oxidative damage, immune toxicity and endocrine disrupting effects. Here we review recent studies about the fate of bifenthrin in the environment and biological systems, the toxicity of the chiral parent compound bifenthrin and the toxic effects of main metabolites. The adverse effects of bifenthrin, identified from both in vitro and in vivo studies, and the potential underlying mechanisms are presented. We discuss the enantiomeric difference in the toxicological effects of bifenthrin, since enantiomers of chiral compounds show different interactions with biological systems. Pyrethroid insecticides metabolites are not acutely toxic, but they have sublethal toxicity, such as endocrine disrupting effects and immunotoxicity. We provide emerging evidence for toxic effects of several main metabolites.

镍对蔬菜毒害临界值的研究

采用水培＋土培的方法研究了镍对蔬菜的毒害临界值。先采用水培法从18种福建常见蔬菜中筛选出对镍毒害的高敏感蔬菜,再通过土培试验确定土壤镍对高敏感蔬菜的毒害临界值。结果表明,在水培条件下镍对蔬菜生长存在低浓度的刺激效应和高浓度的抑制效应。综合表观症状和蔬菜地上部生物量降低20％的效应浓度值（EC20）确定清江白（Brassica chinensis L．）和蕹菜（Lpomoea aquatica Forsk．）为镍毒害的高敏感蔬菜。以蕹菜为指示作物的土培试验表明,随着镍添加量的增加,蕹菜地上部生物量显著下降。以土培条件下蕹菜地上部生物量降低10％为依据,确定土壤有效镍毒害临界值为2．21mg·kg^-1（DTPA提取）;根据野外采集的菜园土壤DTPA提取镍和全镍的回归关系,求得土壤全镍毒害临界值为43．67mg·kg^-1。     

Radiation hormesis — fact or fiction?

Deriving from the Greek verbhormein, which means to stimulate and excite, hormesis literally refers to any kind of stimulation and excitation. As a medical and geomedical term (though of unsettled status) it has a more restricted meaning however, indicating merely the putative or real stimulatory and beneficial effects observed when a biological system is exposed to a low dose of an agent known to be toxic or hazardous at a significantly larger dose. Depending on the type of stimulatory agent, one can speak of chemical or physical hormesis, radiation hormesis being a member of the latter group. The present paper reviews and evaluates the history and origins of the concept of radiation hormesis and its present status — fact or fiction. It is concluded that despite the numerous, sometimes undeniably strong, individual pieces of evidence that have been presented in favour of this phenomenon, the bulk of the evidence is so far not strong enough to establish it as a scientifically proven fact. It is also evident that, instead of speaking of radiation hormesis as an entity, one should pay attention separately to the effects of alpha, beta and gamma radiation, the deleterious and possible beneficial hormetic effects being different in each case.     

9种杀虫剂对中华大刀螂幼虫的毒性

螳螂是田间控制害虫种群增加的重要捕食性天敌之一。以中华大刀螂3龄幼虫(Paratenodera sinensis Saussure)为受试生物,利用9种常用杀虫剂配制成不同浓度梯度的药剂,通过喷雾法直接暴露,分别测定了LC50和死亡率来评价不同杀虫剂对中华大刀螂毒性和危害程度的影响。结果显示,9种杀虫剂对中华大刀螂幼虫的毒性(LC50值)差异很大,用药后24h的LC50在0.7182～347.7962mg·L-1之间,LC95在8.8057～1734.5650mg·L-1之间;用药后48h的LC50在0.3564～193.6887mg·L-1之间,LC95在3.8958～1548.3258mg·L-1之间;用药后72h的LC50在0.2232～115.3391mg·L-1之间,LC95在1.7730～530.6462mg·L-1之间。不同杀虫剂对中华大刀螂幼虫的毒性差异最高达到543.46倍。毒性大小依次为,高效氯氟氰菊酯﹥啶虫脒﹥联苯菊酯﹥毒死蜱﹥噻虫嗪﹥茚虫威﹥吡虫啉﹥阿维菌素﹥苏云金杆菌原粉(Bt)。根据田间推荐浓度处理的死亡率判断,毒死蜱、联苯菊酯、啶虫脒、高效氯氟氰菊酯为有害水平,Bt为中度有害水平,吡虫啉、茚虫威、噻虫嗪为微害水平,阿维菌素接近无害水平。根据LC50与田间推荐浓度的比值判断,阿维菌素、吡虫啉对螳螂种群数量不会产生太大影响;Bt、茚虫威和噻虫嗪对螳螂种群数量会产生一定危害;而毒死蜱、啶虫脒、联苯菊酯和高效氯氟氰菊酯将严重影响螳螂种群数量的稳定性。在24～72h范围内,不同杀虫剂LC50和LC95随施药时间的延长而降低,说明暴露时间越长毒性越大,危害程度也越大。建议在中华大刀螂生活范围内减少高效氯氟氰菊酯、联苯菊酯、啶虫脒和毒死蜱的施用,推荐杀虫剂田间使用量时,除考虑对防治对象的防效,还应考虑对天敌种群的危害,提高药剂使用安全性,保护天敌种群的稳定性。

Host plant resistance to insects: an eco-friendly approach for pest management and environment conservation

Host plant resistance (HPR) to insects is an effective, economical, and environment friendly method of pest control. The most attractive feature of HPR is that farmers virtually do not need any skill in application techniques, and there is no cash investment by the resource poor farmers. Considerable progress has been made in identification and development of crop cultivars with resistance to the major pests in different crops. There is a need to transfer resistance genes into high-yielding cultivars with adaptation to different agro-ecosystems. Resistance to insects should form one of the criteria to release varieties and hybrids for cultivation by the farmers. Genes from the wild relatives of crops, and novel genes, such as those from Bacillus thuringiensis can also be deployed in different crops to make HPR an effective weapon to minimize the losses due to insect pests. HPR will not only cause a major reduction in pesticide use and slowdown the rate of development of resistance to insecticides in insect populations, but also lead to increased activity of beneficial organisms and reduction in pesticide residues in food and food products.
