Integration of chemical and biological methods: A case study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pollution monitoring in Shandong Peninsula, China

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs), as persistent toxic substances(PTS), have been widely monitored in coastal environment, including seawater and sediment. However, scientific monitoring methods, like ecological risk assessment and integrated biomarker response, still need massive researches to verify their availabilities. This study was performed in March, May, August and October of 2018 at eight sites, Yellow River estuary(S1), Guangli Port(S2), Xiaying(S3), Laizhou(S4), Inner Bay(S5), Ou...     

全氟烷基物质在胶州湾海水、沉积物及生物中污染特征

为探明胶州湾全氟烷基物质(perfluorinated alkyl substances,PFASs)的污染水平及特征,本研究于2018年4月在胶州湾近岸海域采集了海水、沉积物及菲律宾蛤仔样品,采用高效液相色谱-串联质谱法测定35种PFASs的含量.结果表明,海水中检出12种PFASs,PFASs总质量浓度(ΣPFASs)范围为21. 1～38. 0 ng·L-1,沉积物中检出10种PFASs,ΣPFASs含量(以干重计)范围为0. 459～1. 20μg·kg-1,菲律宾蛤仔中检出19种PFASs,ΣPFASs含量(以干重计)范围为15. 5～27. 5μg·kg-1;与国内外报道的其他地区相比,胶州湾ΣPFASs污染处于中等或偏高水平.全氟辛酸(perfluorooctanoic acid,PFOA)是胶州湾PFASs的首要污染因子,6∶2全氟辛烷二磷酸酯(6∶2 fluorotelomer phosphate diester,6∶2 di PAP)是海水及沉积物中检出的主要前驱物,全氟辛烷磺酰胺(perfluorooctanesulfonamide,PFOSA)是菲律宾蛤仔中检出的主要前驱物.此外,PFASs的沉积物-海水分配系数(Kd)、有机碳归一化分配系数(KOC)及生物累积因子(bioaccumulation factors,BAF)随碳链的增加而增加,而生物-沉积物累积因子(bioaccumulation factors between organism and sediment,BSAF)随碳链(C8～C13)的增加呈现下降趋势.     

固相微萃取模拟生物法用于养殖底泥多环芳烃污染监测的研究

本研究以养殖底泥中多环芳烃(PAHs)为研究对象,采用以聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)为材料测定孔隙水中PAHs自由溶解态浓度(Cfree)的固相微萃取技术,以重要海水经济底栖生物菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)为参照生物,建立了PDMS中PAHs浓度与菲律宾蛤仔脂肪标化及底泥有机碳标化的PAHs浓度间的定量关系模型,进一步证明了基于固相微萃取的模拟生物法用于养殖区域中多环芳烃监测的可能性.结果表明,孔隙水中自由溶解态PAHs浓度(Cfree)显著低于孔隙水中总PAHs浓度(Cwater),且随着环数增加,两者间的差异越大,说明Cwater忽视了生物有效性,从而会高估孔隙水中PAHs的环境风险,因此,Cfree能更好地反映底泥孔隙水中PAHs的暴露水平;菲律宾蛤仔对PAHs的富集系数(BAF)及PDMS-水分配系数(KPDMS)均与辛醇-水分配系数(Kow)呈显著线性相关,且两者斜率相近,说明菲律宾蛤仔摄取PAHs的主要途径与PDMS相似,且PDMS中PAHs的浓度与生物体内PAHs的残留浓度和底泥有机碳标化的PAHs浓度间均呈现显著相关,说明当底泥孔隙水中和PDMS膜之间达到平衡时,固相微萃取模拟生物法可以用于计算底栖生物和沉积物中有机污染物,具有应用于养殖区域中多环芳烃监测的潜力,但有机污染物在生物体内转化和底泥性质对相关关系和监测应用的影响有待进一步研究.     

亚硝态氮胁迫下菲律宾蛤仔实时定量P CR内参基因的筛选

为了更好地从基因角度研究亚硝态氮对贝类的生态毒性,需要筛选一个合适的内参基因作为参考,对其毒性相关基因进行定量表达分析。本研究以菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)作为研究对象,以亚硝态氮胁迫的鳃组织cDNA作为模板,利用geNorm软件和NormFinder软件对6个候选内参基因进行表达稳定性分析,并对2个结果做了综合赋权分析。结果显示,geNorm分析的基因表达稳定性结果为ActinCyPAEF1αUbi18STubu,NormFinder软件分析的结果为ActinUbiCyPAEF1α18STubu,最后经加权赋值法综合分析获得6个候选基因的表达稳定性为ActinCyPAUbiEF1α18STubu,即Actin为表达最稳定的基因。因此,Actin可以作为衡量亚硝态氮胁迫后菲律宾蛤仔鳃组织中基因表达的内参基因。     

Oxidative DNA damage levels and catalase activity in the clam Ruditapes decussatus as pollution biomarkers of Tunisian marine environment

Levels of the oxidative DNA damage 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and catalase (CAT) activity were measured in the digestive gland and gills of clams Ruditapes decussatus, related to the presence of pollutants along Tunisian marine environment. Increased levels of CAT were observed in tissues of clams from all the sites studied, compared to control values, and elevated 8-oxodG levels were observed at specific sites. Results obtained in this work indicate that the measurement of 8-oxodG levels and CAT activity in tissues of R. decussatus is promising in pollution monitoring studies of the Tunisian marine environment.     

菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes philippinarum)血淋巴中抑菌活性物质的活性影响因素

溴氰菊酯对菲律宾蛤仔体内酶活性和组织损伤的初步探索

采用不同质量浓度的溴氰菊酯(0.0070 mg·L~(-1)、0.014 mg·L~(-1)、0.020 mg·L~(-1)、0.027 mg·L~(-1))对菲律宾蛤仔进行20 d半静置染毒,测定不同时间淋巴液中乙酰胆碱酯酶(ACh E)和钠离子-钾离子-三磷酸腺苷酶(Na~+-K~+-ATPase)活性、鳃和肝脏中谷胱甘肽转硫酶(GST)活性的变化,并观察染毒20 d后鳃丝组织和消化盲囊组织的损伤情况。酶活性分析结果显示,与对照组相比,低浓度组(0.0070 mg·L~(-1))试验期间酶活性均无显著差异(P0.05);中浓度组(0.014 mg·L~(-1)、0.020 mg·L~(-1))淋巴液中ACh E和Na~+-K~+-ATPase均呈先激活后抑制的变化规律(P0.05),鳃和肝脏中GST活性均呈上升趋势(P0.05);高浓度组(0.027mg·L~(-1))淋巴液中ACh E和Na~+-K~+-ATPase、肝脏中GST活性在试验期间持续下降(P0.01),而鳃中GST活性呈先抑制后升高的趋势(P0.05)。研究表明,低中浓度的溴氰菊酯对菲律宾蛤仔体内的酶活性表现为先诱导后抑制,具有明显的时间、剂量效应;高浓度的溴氰菊酯对菲律宾蛤仔体内酶活持续抑制,且染毒浓度越高,组织细胞变异越显著,表现为鳃丝上皮细胞纤毛层萎缩、纤毛脱落,消化盲囊上皮细胞膨胀,出现包涵体样结构。     

A system dynamics model for the management of the Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum (Adams and Reeve, 1850) in the Bay of Arcachon (France)

The Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum (Adams and Reeve, 1850) is one of the mollusc species that, driven mainly by the shellfish market industry, has extended throughout the world, far beyond the limits of its original habitat. The Manila clam was introduced into France for aquaculture purposes, between 1972 and 1975. In France, this venerid culture became increasingly widespread and, since 1988, this species has colonised most of the embayments along the French Atlantic coast. In 2004, this development resulted in a fishery of ca. 520 t in Arcachon Bay.     

菲律宾蛤仔对锌、铅的积累特征

菲律宾蛤仔（ＲｕｄｉｔａｐｅｓｐｈｉｌｉｐｐｉｎａｒｕｍＡｄａｍｓｅｔＲｅｖｅ（Ｂｉｖａｌｖｉａ：Ｖｅｎｅｒｉｄａｅ））分别在不同系列Ｚｎ和Ｐｂ浓度下培养２０ｄ，每间隔５ｄ测定菲律宾蛤仔体内Ｚｎ、Ｐｂ含量．结果表明，菲律宾蛤仔在水体Ｚｎ浓度１００μｇ／Ｌ以下Ｚｎ积累量低，在水体Ｚｎ浓度为２００μｇ／Ｌ时Ｚｎ积累量高．菲律宾蛤仔在水体Ｐｂ浓度为３２μｇ／Ｌ以下暴露５ｄＰｂ积累量低，但在水体Ｐｂ浓度为３２μｇ／Ｌ中暴露１５ｄ，菲律宾蛤仔体内Ｐｂ含量可达对照组的５倍．可见，菲律宾蛤仔对Ｚｎ、Ｐｂ的积累量不仅与水体中Ｚｎ、Ｐｂ浓度有关，而且与暴露时间有关．     

Field validation of a battery of biomarkers to assess sediment quality in Spanish ports

Two marine invertebrates, the crab Carcinus maenas and the clam Ruditapes philippinarum, were used as bioindicator species to assess contamination when exposed in situ to sediment from different sites from four Spanish ports Cadiz (SW Spain), Huelva (SW Spain), Bilbao (NE Spain) and Pasajes (NE Spain). In an attempt to determine sediments toxicity, a combination of exposure biomarkers was analyzed in both species: metallothionein-like-proteins (MTLPs), ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), glutathione S-transferase activity (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and glutathione reductase (GR). In parallel, physical and chemical characterization of the different sediments was performed and biological responses related to the contaminants. Significant induction of MTLPs was observed when organisms were exposed to metal contaminated sediments (port of Huelva), and EROD and GPX activities after exposure to sediments containing organic compounds (port of Bilbao and Pasajes). No significant interspecies differences were observed in biomarker responses except for the GST and GR.
