Upgrading of organic waste: production of the copolymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate by Ralstonia eutrophus with organic waste as sole carbon source

Two types of fermented organic waste (trade and industry waste and fruit and vegetable waste) were successfully used as a sole carbon source to produce poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHBV) by Ralstonia eutrophus (formerly Alcaligenes eutrophus) via oxygen limitation.The production of PHBV could be optimized by optimizing the oxygen transfer through the fermentor. Thereby, a peak concentration of 1.1 g PHBV per liter cell suspension, 40 w% of cell dry weight, was obtained at an aeration rate of 0.24 mol O₂/h·kg biomass. The yield of PHBV on the fatty acid concentration in the organic waste was 0.16 g polymer/g volatile organic matter. The process obtained, compares well with the commercial production process of PHBV based on glucose.     

煤中有害元素的研究现状及其对环境保护的意义

本文给出了煤中有害微量元素的定义，即煤中含量小于１．０％的有毒元素，致癌元素，腐蚀性元素，放射性元素以及其它对环境有害的元素等。根据我国环保要求，提出当前应重视的有害元素，共２２种。作者还讨论了煤中有害微量元素对对环境的危害以及国内外对煤中微量元素的研究现状和存在的问题。     

浮选剂污染河段大型底栖无脊椎动物的群落特征及其对水质的评价

利用大型底栖动物的群落结构及其行为反应对有毒化合物——浮选剂污染河段水质进行评价,并提出了受浮选剂污染的污水生物系统评价标准.结果表明,主要污染物丁基磺药对涡虫(Dugesia gonocephala)的24h LC_51为78ppm.根据受污河段底栖动物群落的变化和涡虫在各断面河水中的行为反应,浮选剂污水生物系统可以划分成α-多污带,β-多污带,α-中污带,β-中污带和寡污带。并对所提出的浮选剂污水生物系统进行了讨论。     

Human parvovirus B19 infection and unbalanced translocation in a case of hydrops fetalis

In a case of hydrops fetalis, serological examination showed a recent maternal human parvovirus B19 infection. Amniocentesis revealed a unique unbalanced translocation between chromosomes 3 and 11 of the fetus. The mother proved to have a balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 3 and 11. A grossly macerated hydropic male fetus was delivered with a flat nose and low implanted deformed ears. Histopathological examination revealed nuclear inclusion bodies in fetal erythroid cells, confirming human parvovirus B19 infection. Parvovirus B19 DNA was demonstrated by in situ hybridization in the nuclei of heart muscle cells. Our finding of two different disorders in one case illustrates the importance of a complete evaluation of every case of hydrops fetalis, especially concerning counselling on the outcome of future pregnancies. The human parvovirus B19 infection will not recur due to the acquired immunity of the mother, whereas the balanced reciprocal translocation will endanger future pregnancies.     

False-negative amniotic fluid acetylcholinesterase in a case of meningo-encephalocele

We describe a patient with a significantly elevated serum alphafetoprotein (AFP) concentration at 17 weeks of gestation, who showed only a marginally increased amniotic fluid AFP and lacked the second rapidly migrating band of acetylcholinesterase electrophoresis. Ultrasound examination revealed an encephalocele and ventriculomegaly. Autopsy showed that the encephalocele was not covered by skin.     

兰炼烷基化废酸处理工艺选择

钻井泥浆和消油剂对合浦珠母贝的急性毒性效应

采用96h急性毒性试验配合滤食率和微核检测等方法，比较了石油勘探开发用3种钻井泥浆和3种消油剂对合浦珠母贝成贝急性毒性效应。实验结果表明：3种钻井泥浆对合浦珠母贝的半致死浓度均大于10^5mg/L；3种消油剂的半致死浓度分别为1047、5011和2630mg/L；滤食率与钻井泥浆和消油剂的浓度呈负相关；微核细胞率则与之呈正相关。     

镉对沉水植物硝酸还原酶和超氧化物歧化酶活性的影响

研究了重金属污染物镉对４种沉水植物（红线草，金鱼藻，黑藻和菹草）硝酸还原酶和超氧化物歧化酶的分子毒理学效应。实验结果表明，一定浓度的镉能诱导沉水植物的硝酸还原酶活性，抑制沉水植物超氧化物歧化酶活性，从而破坏其抗氧化防御系统。镉对沉水植物的毒害存在明显的剂量／效应关系。建议以硝酸还原酶和超氧化物歧化酶的活性变化作为沉水植物受重金属污染的生态毒理学指标。
