Preimplantation genetic diagnosis using FISH for carriers of Robertsonian translocations: the Portuguese experience

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an alternative to prenatal diagnosis for couples at risk of transmitting genetic disorders to their offspring. We present a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of embryos obtained after seven PGD cycles in six couples with Robertsonian translocations and male factor infertility: 4 der(13;14), 1 der(14;21) and 1 der(15;21). Of 74 metaphase II (MII) injected oocytes, 61 (82.4%) fertilized normally and cleaved. Of these, 37/61 (60.7%) embryos were of high morphological quality with ≥6 blastomeres. After biopsy of 44 embryos at day 3 of development, seven degenerated, seven arrested in development and 30/44 (68.2%) evolved, of which 25/30 (83.3%) reached the morula/blastocyst stage. Analysis of biopsied blastomeres showed 23/44 (52.3%) of normal/balanced embryos, of which 15 (11 at the morula/blastocyst stage) were transferred in six cycles. One term pregnancy was achieved, which ended by cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation, giving birth to two healthy newborn. Analysis of 49 embryos (excluding 12 inconclusive cases) showed a predominance of alternate segregation (38/49, 77.6%) over adjacent segregation (7/49, 14.3%), with one (2%) being a polyploid mosaic and three (6.1%) chaotic.

A study of climate change and anthropogenic impacts in West Africa

BACKGROUND, AIM AND SCOPE: During the last decades ecological conditions in West Africa have dramatically changed. Very evident is the climate change, which has resulted in a southward shift of the climate zones, e.g. a spread of the desert (Sahara) into the Sahelian zone. After the drought period of the early 1970s and 1980s, livestock density increased resulting in an intensification of grazing pressure. This anthropogenous phenomenon leads to similar landscape changes as those caused by the climate. Only very few investigations exist on vegetation dynamics, climate changes and land use changes for the Sudanian zone. The paper presents data on changes of precipitation, of land use, of the geographical range of species, and of the composition of the flora, which have to be regarded as proofs of the sahelisation of large areas of the Sudanian zone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Area of investigation: Burkina Faso. Precipitation data analysis: precipitation data from 67 stations; time series analysis and geo-statistical spatial interpolation. Analysis of land use change: Landsat satellite MSS and ETM+ data, acquired for two different dates between 1972 and 2001 analyzed by the software ERDAS/IMAGINE version 8.6 and ArcView 3.2 with the Spatial Analyst extension. Intensive ground truthing (160 training areas). Inventory of the flora: based on the data of the Herbarium Senckenbergianum (FR) in Frankfurt, Germany, and of the herbarium of the university of Ouagadougou (OUA), Burkina Faso, as well as on various investigations on the vegetation of Burkina Faso carried out in the years 1990 to 2005 by the team of the senior author. Life form analysis of the flora: based on the inventory of permanent plots. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Precipitation: Remarkable latitudinal shift of isohyets towards the South translates to a general reduction of average rainfall in great parts of the country. The last decade (1990-1999) shows some improvement, however, the more humid conditions of the 1950's and 1960's are not yet established again. Landcover change: In the study region the extent of arable fields and young fallows increased during the last 30 years from 580 km(2) in 1972 to 2870 km(2) in 2001. This means an average land cover conversion rate of 0.9% per year for the 6 departments considered. Change of the distribution of Sahelian and Sudanian species: Several species, mentioned in older literature as strictly Sahelian, today also occur in the Sudanian zone. Parallel to the spread of former strictly Sahelian species into the Sudanian zone, some former Sahelo-Sudanian species have withdrawn from the Sahel. Changes of the life form spectra of the flora: Considering their life form spectra, the flora of heavily grazed and of protected areas in the Sudanian zone show great differences. On areas intensively grazed the percentage of therophytes is evidently higher than on protected areas. Just the opposite is true for the phanerophytes. Their percentage is higher on the protected area than on the grazed zones. At the first glance, it is obvious to link the changes in flora and vegetation with the climate changes that have occurred during the last five decades (decrease of annual precipitation). However, not only climatic conditions have changed, but also population has increased, the percentage of land intensively used for agriculture and pasturing has increased and the time for soil regeneration today is much shorter than it was some decades ago. Thus, the landscape of the Sudanian zone has become a more Sahelian character. A comparison of the flora of an intensively used area of the Sudanian zone with that of a protected area shows a remarkable change in the life form spectra. The spectrum of the intensively used area is almost identical with that of the typical Sahelian flora. This comparison shows that the anthropogenic influence plays a greater role in the sahelisation of the Sudanian zone than the climate change. CONCLUSION: Climate change and anthropogenic influence both, lead to a sahelisation of landscape and flora. Thus in many parts of the Sudanian zone of West Africa sahelisation phenomena will remain and even increase independently from the reestablishment of the more humid climate conditions of the 1950ies. RECOMMENDATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES: In order to maintain some parts of the characteristic Sudanian landscape with its characteristic flora and vegetation, the number and size of protected areas should be augmented. For all protected areas it has to be ensured, that protection is reality, i.e. respected an understood by local people, not only fiction. As long as the enlargement of intensively used areas continues the sahelisation of flora, vegetation and landscape will continue too.     

铁盐与铝盐对腈纶废水生化出水混凝特性的对比

针对腈纶废水生化单元出水,对比研究了Al2(SO4)3和Fe2(SO4)3在不同絮凝剂投量和p H时的混凝处理效果,并利用紫外-可见分光光度法(UV-Vis)、三维荧光光谱(EEM)、凝胶渗透色谱(HPSEC)等对混凝特性进行了初步探讨。研究显示,2种混凝剂在投量为63.5 mg/L时可获得30%以上的COD去除率,且最佳p H为中性附近。当投量小于32 mg/L时,Al2(SO4)3较Fe2(SO4)3具有更高的COD去除率,进一步增大混凝剂的投量很难提高Al2(SO4)3对COD的去除率,而Fe2(SO4)3则在有限范围内能持续提高COD去除率。EEM光谱分析显示,与Al2(SO4)3相比,Fe2(SO4)3对有机物具有更广的处理范围和更好的去除效果。HPSEC分析表明,Fe2(SO4)3相对于Al2(SO4)3在去除重均分子量为2 776、1 856和1 325 Da的有机物组分方面具有优势。铁盐或铝盐混凝是深度净化腈纶废水生化单元出水的可行方案之一。

遮阴和盐分对银叶树幼苗光合特性与叶绿素荧光参数的影响

通过比较不同光和盐水平下银叶树(Heritiera littoralis)幼苗的叶绿素含量、光合光响应参数及叶绿素荧光参数的差异,探讨了遮阴和施盐处理下银叶树幼苗的光合生理及适应能力。以银叶树盆栽幼苗为研究对象,以全光无盐为对照,设置遮阴(遮光率为80%)与2.5%盐水处理,经60 d的处理,测定其光合光响应参数、叶绿素荧光参数及叶绿素含量。结果表明,在正常环境下,银叶树光饱和点(LSP)、光补偿点(LCP)及Chla/b分别为1023、28.8μmol·m^?2·s^?1及3.65,属阳性树种。在无盐条件下,遮阴处理导致了叶片叶绿素含量、表观量子效率(AQY)、PSⅡ潜在活性(Fv/Fo)、PSII最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)及PSⅡ有效光化学量子产量(Fv'/Fm')的升高,却降低了Chl a/b、最大净光合速率(P′max)、LSP、LCP、暗呼吸速率(Rd)、初始荧光(Fo)、PSⅡ实际光合效率(ΦPSⅡ)、表观光合量子传递效率(ETR)、光化学猝灭系数(qP)及非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)。在全光照或80%的遮阴环境下,盐胁迫均使得叶片叶绿素含量、光合光响应参数(AQY、P′max、LSP)及叶绿素荧光参数(Fm、Fv/Fo)显著下降(P<0.05);而在全光环境下,盐胁迫同样显著降低了Fv/Fm、ΦPSⅡ、ETR(P<0.05),但在遮阴环境下,盐胁迫并没有显著降低叶片Fv/Fm、Fv′/Fm′、ΦPSⅡ及ETR(P>0.05)。盐分对叶片叶绿素含量、光合光响应参数(AQY、P′max及LSP)及叶绿素荧光参数(Fo、Fm、Fv、Fv/Fo、ΦPSⅡ、ETR及NPQ)的影响高于光照,光和盐对叶绿素含量、光合光响应参数(AQY、P′max及LSP)及叶绿素荧光参数的影响没有交互作用。研究表明,银叶树幼苗表现出较高的耐阴性及对弱光的利用能力;盐胁迫使银叶树幼苗发生了明显的光抑制,PSII的光化学活性降低,过剩光能对光系统的破坏的风险增加,光能转换效率与电子传递能力下降,光合作用效率大幅降低。     

针铁矿纤铁矿催化降解苯酚动力学速率及其反应产物研究

研究了针铁矿和纤铁矿在过氧化氢参与下对苯酚的催化降解的动力学速率与溶液pH关系,并用紫外吸收谱测定其反应产物的谱学特征,发现纤铁矿反应体系降解苯酚的速率大于针铁矿反应体系,其中又以pH=3.8的纤铁矿体系反应速率常数最大。当溶液pH=3～4时,苯酚可被完全降解,并有40%～60%有机碳(TOC)被矿化。当溶液pH=4～5时,苯酚可被转化为多酚类化合物,但基本上不被矿化。当溶液pH>5时,苯酚没有发生明显的转化和矿化。
