Effects of mercury graded doses on redox status,metallothionein levels and genotoxicity in the intestine of sea cucumber Holothuria forskali

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous and a major environmental metal pollutant in the aquatic ecosystem. The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of mercury graded doses exposure on oxidative stress, redox status, metallothionein levels and genotoxicity in the intestine of sea cucumber Holothuria forskali. Specimens were exposed for 96?h to three concentrations of Hg (40, 80 and 160?µg/L). Exposure of H. forskali to Hg promoted oxidative stress with an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl (PCO) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) levels. An increase of glutathione (GSH), vitamin C (ViteC) and non-protein thiols (NPSH) contents was also observed. Additionally, antioxidant activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) increased especially with the highest doses of Hg indicating a great defense of the antioxidant system. Our investigation revealed an increase in total Metallothionein (MT) content which was more pronounced at the sharpest concentrations of Hg. A significant decline of AChE activity was also observed. In the intestine of Hg-treated H. forskali genotoxicity was confirmed by DNA degradation.

水中氨氮挥发影响因素探讨

本文介绍了水中氨氮挥发的影响因素。水中氨氮挥发速率常数随水的ｐＨ值和水温升高而增加，水面风速大则常数值也大，大气压高的地区的挥发速率常数小于大气压低者。与蒸馏水体系相比，在实验条件相同时滇胡水中氨氮挥发速率常数小。     

影响柴油在土壤中挥发的因素

石油污染物进入土壤中后经历一系列物理化学和生物过程,其中发生的挥发过程是一种重要的迁移过程。本文以柴油为石油污染物的代表,研究了温度及土壤质地对柴油挥发行为的影响。通过在不同温度下纯柴油的挥发及柴油从四种不同土质的薄层土壤中的挥发试验,对柴油的挥发量与挥发时间的关系进行了模拟,结果表明:在不同温度下,纯柴油及柴油在四种薄层土壤中的挥发量与挥发时间的关系均可采用二次多项式来拟合。通过对比经相近时间柴油从4种不同土壤表面的挥发后,发现柴油挥发量均大于从纯柴油时的挥发量。在有机质质量分数不同的土壤中进行了柴油挥发试验,结果表明高有机质会抑制土壤中的柴油的挥发。     

Insect cell-based impedance biosensors: a novel technique to monitor the toxicity of environmental pollutants

Cell biosensors are currently emerging as novel, sensitive techniques to monitor the toxicity of environmental pollutants. Here, we have developed electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) for on-line monitoring of the behavior of insect cells. Cells were cultured on a microarray of eight small gold electrodes, deposited on the bottom of tissue culture wells. Upon inoculation, cells showed a tendency to drift downward and attached to the gold surface precoated with the protein Concanavalin A to accelerate the cell attachment. The impedance increased because the cells acted as insulating particles to restrict the current flow. The resulting impedance, a coordination of many biological reactions within the cell, was continuously monitored in real-time to reveal information about cell spreading and micromotion. As the cell behavior was sensitive to external chemicals, the applicability of ECIS for inhibition assays was demonstrated with HgCl₂, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2-amino 4,6-dinitrotoluene (2-ADNT) and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB).

不同重金属在烤烟中的累积分配特征研究

研究了重金属Hg、As、Pb在烤烟中的累积分布。结果表明:烤烟对Hg、As、Pb的耐受力较强;Hg抑制K326根系的生长,Pb、As对K326的生长有一定的促进作用。随着重金属浓度的增加,各部位重金属含量和烟株累积总量多呈增加趋势。在不同的处理下,3种重金属的含量在根系中最高;在相同的处理下,重金属在烟叶各部位的含量按大小顺序均为下部叶>中部叶>上部叶。随着处理浓度的增加,分配在根系中的重金属元素的比例不断增加,而在叶片中的分配比例不断降低;按重金属元素在叶片中的分配比例排序为Hg>As>Pb。

采用球衣菌(Sphaerotglus natans)FQ32为生物吸附剂,研究了初始离子浓度、吸附剂用量、菌龄、pH值、温度和吸附时间等理化因素对其吸附重金属Hg2 的影响,并进一步研究了吸附机理.结果表明,球衣菌在Hg2 浓度为16 mg·L-1、吸附剂用量0.4g·L-1、菌龄16h、pH 7、温度30℃、吸附时间90 rmin时的优化条件下,对Hg2 的吸附量为72.86 mg·g-1;该吸附过程是一个快速的过程,在吸附5 min时,吸附量达总吸附量的74.10%,90 min达到吸附平衡;此过程符Langmuir等温方程.等温模型、透射电镜观察和红外光谱分析显示,菌体细胞表面的活性基团与Hg2 的络合反应是球衣菌吸附Hg2 的主要机理.     

Calibration and testing of a dynamic flow-through chamber for field determination of methyl bromide volatilization flux

Accurate emission measurement of highly volatile chemicals such as methyl bromide (MeBr) is a crucial step in assessing their potential for environmental contamination. Use of flux chambers is a simple method for measuring emission rate under field conditions. To validate the applicability of a dynamic flow-through chamber for measuring MeBr emission, we provide a complete presentation of calibration and testing of the chamber. The calibration was made under a controlled system subject to ambient temperature changes. Two field experiments were conducted to test the chamber for measuring MeBr flux under conditions similar to commercial soil fumigation practices. In both the calibration and the two field experiments, the chamber provided accurate emission estimates. The maximum mass balance error was < 10% which is comparable to the micrometerological method. Because of its simplicity, we believe this dynamic flux chamber can be used reliably in quantifying the emission dynamics of highly volatile chemicals such as MeBr.

运用Jayaweera-Mikkelsen模型对太湖地区水稻田稻季氨挥发的模拟

运用密闭气室通气法测定了太湖地区典型水稻田lysimeter实验中肥料施用后的稻季氨挥发动态变化和总损失量,并使用Jayaweera-Mikkelsen氨挥发模型验证了测定结果.田间测定结果表明,施用普通尿素和控释尿素后的氨挥发显著不同,在水稻生育期普通尿素的氨挥发损失达施入N量的29%～35%,不同施N水平间差异显著;而不同用量的控释尿素的氨挥发损失则相对一致,仅为施入N量的5%.模型高估了生育期的氨挥发总量,特别是在普通尿素高挥发时期造成了较大偏差.对尿素处理,模型预测值与实测值的比率为2.95～4.19;对控释尿素处理,预测值对实测值有正负偏差,比率为1.19～1.40.运用预测值与实测值的级数商评价了模型的实用性.通过灵敏度分析,对模型中的参数NH 4-N的浓度进行了修正,引入了限制条件.修正后的模型能够很好地满足对高挥发量的预测,模拟结果比率为1.12～1.28.实测田面水中的NH 4-N浓度不能代表模型中参与计算的实际浓度,可能原因是藻类活动对NH 4-N浓度和氨挥发过程产生的影响.
