五爪金龙凋落叶腐解物的化感潜力研究

采用莴苣种子为受体,测试了五爪金龙凋落叶早期腐解物的化感作用,并与其鲜叶及凋落叶的化感潜力进行了比较分析。结果如下:凋落叶40d的腐解物、鲜叶及凋落叶的水提取液均具有较强的化感潜力,并表现出低促高抑的浓度效应,在FW0.1g﹒mL-1高质量浓度下的综合化感抑制强度为凋落叶未能加土壤的腐解物>鲜叶>凋落叶加土壤的腐解物>凋落叶,而在FW0.005g﹒mL-1低质量浓度下的综合化感促进作用是凋落叶>鲜叶>凋落叶加土壤的腐解物>凋落叶未加土壤的腐解物。鲜叶的抑制强度较凋落叶的大,表明叶片在衰老过程中抑制作用减弱。凋落叶未加土壤仅在空气微生物作用下的腐解物抑制作用最强,促进作用最小,而加入土壤后在土壤微生物作用下的腐解物的抑制作用却有所减弱,抑制强度介于鲜叶和凋落叶的之间,促进作用却小于鲜叶和凋落叶,说明凋落叶腐解过程中微生物的参与对化感作用产生了复杂的影响。     

逆境下植物叶性状变化的研究进展

介绍了逆境下植物叶性状变化的研究进展。在逆境下,植物的叶片形态、解剖构造和内含物质等方面产生变化或特化,以保证植物正常的生命活动。解剖构造与树木的抗旱性关系密切,渗透调节是一个重要的抗旱性和抗盐性机制。植物为了减少虫害的发生,采用防卫和逃避相结合的策略保护自己。叶片中午受到强光胁迫时存在明显的＂避光运动＂,栅栏组织的叶绿体通过不同的运动排列方式来调整对光辐射的吸收,减少光胁迫。植物在阴蔽的环境中,通过大的叶面积等方式保证在弱光条件下充分利用光能。在干旱和盐胁迫下,叶片变小或消失,叶片表皮角质化,在叶片或细胞外形成一些机械组织,叶肉质化,白天叶片气孔关闭等方式增加耐盐性。多年生落叶树木和不落叶的植物通过不同的方式增加抗寒力。基因对叶性状的影响尚有争议。叶性状的差异可能是对不同环境的反映,或者是它们的年龄和基因引起的。最后,对叶性状的研究前景作了展望。     

蒽对二种海洋微藻抗氧化系统的影响

研究了多环芳烃（PAHs)－蒽对2种海洋微藻抗氧化系统的影响。结果表明,随着蒽浓度的增加,小新月菱形藻和亚心形扁藻的非酶性系统中的类胡萝卜素（CAR）和还原型谷胱甘肽（GSH）含量下降,酶性系统中的超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性下降,当加入抗氧化剂GSH时,蒽对两种海洋微藻的伤害作得以缓解,说明,蒽使海洋微藻的抗氧化系统破坏,损及体内活性氧化作用,对微藻的膜系统产生伤害。图6参12     

Pharmacological evaluation of crude methanolic extract of Kalanchoe pinnata leaves

Medicinal plants play a crucial role in maintaining human health. Kalanchoe pinnata has been used for treatment of different ailments like infections, rheumatism, and inflammation. Data showed that Kalancho pinnata methanolic extract (100 or 1000 μg/ml) significantly inhibited growth of shoots (hypocotyls) and roots (radicals) of rice compared to control after 3 or 7 days treatment. Further, the Kalancho pinnata methanolic extract (50–1000 μg/ml) exhibited antioxidant properties and scavenged free radicals in dose-dependent manner compared with a standard antioxidant (ascorbic acid). Kalancho pinnata methanolic extract also possesses antifungal property that inhibited approximately 76% and 51% growth of Aspergillus flavous and Aspergillus niger, respectively, using the extract at 200 μg/ml.     

镉胁迫对两品种水稻生长及抗氧化酶系统的影响

水稻Oryza sativa L.被认为是Cd吸收最强的大宗谷类作物,本研究采用网室盆栽实验研究2个籽粒镉积累水平不同的水稻品种（中浙优1号、高Cd品种和J196、低Cd品种）,研究不同浓度Cd处理对水稻幼苗生长和抗氧化酶系统的影响。结果表明：高Cd水稻品种的Cd耐性高于低Cd水稻品种,表现为前者体内的MDA含量低于后者,而SOD、CAT、POD活性高于低Cd品种;在Cd胁迫下,高Cd品种的SOD 活性、CAT活性随Cd处理浓度增加先增后降,在10 mg·kg-1时达到峰值,POD活性则为先降后增,在Cd浓度为5 mg·kg-1时达到峰值;而低Cd品种随着外源Cd浓度增长,3种酶活性在25 mg·kg-1达到峰值,除SOD比对照降低外,CAT和POD分较对照升高38.07%和62.10%,表明在本试验处理下,Cd胁迫下,两品种中3种抗氧化酶保护作用不同,高Cd品种CAT的保护性最强,低Cd品种POD的保护作用最强。但本研究对两品种生长性状的研究却发现,高Cd品种的根系耐受指数及根系鲜质量显著低于低Cd品种,这可能和水稻对Cd的耐受原因多元化,且本实验条件下的Cd处理未产生植株生长抑制,Cd敏感品种自身的保护机制有关。     

Synthesis and evaluation of antioxidant activities of some indole-2,3-dione derivatives and analogs

In the present study, a series of novel Schiff bases of isatin were synthesized by condensation of imesatin with different aromatic aldehydes. The imesatins were synthesized by reaction of isatin with p-phenylenediamine. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by means of IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. These compounds were screened for antioxidant activity by DPPH, nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity. In all the methods, the compound 3-(4-(3,4,5-trimethoxy benzylideneamino)phenylimino) indoline-2-one (5d) showed highest antioxidant activity because of the presence of electron donating groups and the compound 3-(4-(4-nitrobenzylideneamino)phenylimino) indoline-2-one (5f) showed the least activity because of the presence of an electron withdrawing group.     

Phototransformation of chlorimuron-ethyl on leaf surface

Chlorimuron-ethyl, a post-emergent herbicide selectively used in soybean and maize, degrades mainly through chemical hydrolysis. Photolysis has also an important role in the degradation of this compound. Phototransformation of chlorimuron-ethyl takes place through the cleavage of the sulfonylurea bridge, dechlorination, de-esterification and cyclization. Enzymatic de-esterification usually takes place in plant system to liberate the free acid, chlorimuron, which, in fact, inhibits the acetolactate synthase enzyme. In the non-enzymatic environment, de-esterification generally does not occur at normal pH and in moisture-free medium. But on the leaf surface of maize crop de-esterification of chlorimuron-ethyl takes place. The moisture deposited on leaf surfaces by virtue of evapo-transpirational loss of water may cause the de-esterification of chlorimuron-ethyl to the free acid, chlorimuron.     

UV-C辐射增强对绿化树种膜质过氧化及抗氧化酶的影响

采用叶片试验法研究了模拟紫外辐射(UV-C)胁迫对3种绿化树种叶片膜质过氧化及抗氧化酶产生的影响。实验结果表明:UV-C辐射处理使连翘ForsythiasuspensaVahl和垂柳Salixbabylonica叶片的叶绿素质量分数增加,但使水蜡树FraxinuschinesisRoxb.叶片的叶绿素质量分数降低。UV-C辐射处理增加连翘和垂柳叶片的SOD活性,而水蜡的SOD活性则表现为先升高随后降低的变化趋势;辐射处理对水蜡树和垂柳POD活性影响不大,但使连翘POD活性先升高随后降低;辐射处理明显降低水蜡树和连翘的CAT活性,而垂柳的则先升高后降低。辐射处理导致MDA含量增加。     

外源氮输入对互花米草生长及叶特征的影响

入侵种互花米草（Spartina alterniflora）是滨海盐沼湿地的多年生草本植物,研究人类活动引起的外源氮输入对其生长的影响有助于了解滨海湿地生态系统结构和功能的未来变化趋势。运用随机区组试验设计方法,模拟海滩水分条件（间歇淹水和持续淹水）,研究了互花米草的地上部生物量、叶片光合特征以及形态特征对外源氮输入的响应。结果表明：互花米草地上部生物量在施氮条件下显著增加,且在土壤处于间歇淹水状态时表现更为明显;施氮条件下植株分蘖数比对照处理分别增加了60.0%和60.2%,是引起地上部生物量增加的主要原因。施加氮素促进了互花米草叶片的生长,叶面积、叶数、叶长和叶宽均显著增加,而叶数的变化是导致植物叶面积增加的主要因素。外源氮输入促进了互花米草叶绿素含量的增加,而对净光合速率的季节变化特征无明显影响。持续淹水处理的植物地上部生物量、生长速率、分蘖数、净光合速率和叶面积均低于间歇淹水处理,说明持续淹水状态对互花米草生长造成了一定的抑制作用。     

Synthesis,characterization, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of novel bis-isatin carbohydrazone derivatives

In the present study, the synthesis of new bis-isatin carbohydrazone derivatives and their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities were investigated. The structures of new compounds were elucidated by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra. The antimicrobial activity of the compounds was determined by using the two-fold serial dilution technique against various bacterial and fungal species in comparison to standard drugs. All synthesized compounds displayed a broad spectrum of activities with minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging from 6.25 to 100 μg/ml against tested microorganisms. The in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and the total antioxidant capacity by a phosphomolybdenum assay and their ability to chelate ferrous iron. In general, the derivatives were found to exhibit antioxidant activity. Further, the compounds with electron-withdrawing groups at the C5 position demonstrated significant antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.     

硫丹对草鱼乙酰胆碱酯酶及抗氧化酶活性的影响

研究了硫丹暴露对草鱼肝脏、肌肉抗氧化酶及脑乙酰胆碱酯酶活性的影响。结果表明,硫丹24 h暴露可诱导草鱼脑AChE活性,当暴露时间延长或质量浓度升高时,AChE活性表现为受抑制,120 h较高质量浓度组抑制率为41.8%和56.2%,抑制率与暴露时间呈良好的线性相关。硫丹暴露24 h后,草鱼肝脏及肌肉SOD、GSH-Px活性受到显著影响,表现出先诱导后缓慢降低的趋势,120 h后SOD活性显著低于对照组水平,GSH-Px活性与对照组无显著差异。在抗氧化酶受到影响的同时,鱼体脂质过氧化LPO程度不断上升,组织MDA含量逐渐增大,96 h达到最高值。硫丹可影响草鱼AChE及抗氧化酶活性,其变化可作为生物标志物,来评价化学污染物对水生动物的生物学效应。     

Characteristics of night soil and leaf co-composting using aerobic static method

The main purpose of this work is to investigate the characteristics of night soil and leaf co-composting using aerobic static composting method. Three influencing factors, including proportion of night soil and leaf, aeration rate and aeration pattern, were investigated through the evolution of the principal physicochemical properties, i.e., temperature, oxygen consumption rate, organic matters, moisture content, carbon, nitrogen, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio and Germination index (GI). It was found that the 3∶1 (w∶w) mixture of night soil and leaf was capable of achieving the highest composting temperature, longest retention time of high temperature (55°C), and fastest organic matter degradation. The 0.14 m³·min^-1·m^-3 aeration rate was most beneficial to composting, and the mixture of night soil and leaf maintained the highest temperature for the longest duration and achieved the highest CO₂ content and GI. The continuous aeration pattern during composting was superior to an intermittent aeration pattern, since the latter delayed the composting process.     

不同水分条件下三裂叶豚草叶解剖结构的生态适应性

三裂叶豚草（Ambrosia trifida）是世界公害杂草,于20世纪30年代传人我国后,对我国人民的生产生活和生态系统造成了严重危害。本研究以我国北方地区主要分布的入侵植物三裂叶豚草为对象,采用盆栽实验的方法及石蜡切片技术,在Zeiss Image．A,光学显微镜下研究不同土壤水分条件下三裂叶豚草叶片解剖结构的变化。结果表明：三裂叶豚草在90％土壤相对含水量处理下叶片厚度、上下表皮厚度均增加,是细胞储水量增加,细胞体积增大的结果;在50％、30％土壤相对含水量处理下三裂叶豚草叶片变薄、栅海比值增大,是典型的节约型干旱适应,同时叶肉栅栏细胞层数增加、栅栏细胞密度增大,表现出强壮型干旱适应特征;干旱胁迫程度越大,三裂叶豚草叶显微结构变化越大。不同水分条件下三裂叶豚草解剖特征总体可塑性值为0．39,具较高可塑性,其中叶片厚度、上表皮厚度、下表皮厚度、栅栏组织与海绵组织的厚度比（P／S）、栅栏细胞密度等指标较栅栏组织厚度、海绵组织厚度具有更大可塑性,表明这些因素对三裂叶豚草成功入侵有较大作用。     

Effects of zinc stress on growth and antioxidant enzyme responses of Kandelia obovata seedlings

This study evaluated the tolerance and accumulation potential in the mangrove Kandelia obovata under moderate and high levels of external Zn. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of a range of external Zn concentrations (0–400 mg L^?1) on the growth of this species by counting the lateral root number and measuring the root length, leaf area, and total dry biomass. We also determined the Zn accumulation in plant tissues. K. obovata survived with external Zn concentrations of up to 400 mg L^?1, although the excess metal resulted in a biomass reduction of 34%. A significant increase in antioxidant enzyme activities occurred in roots of plants under high-level Zn stress, suggesting that K. obovata seedlings could tolerate up to 200 mg L^?1 zinc treatment.     

Hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of Bridelia retusa against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity

The aim of present study was to validate hepatoprotective and antioxidant activities of the bark of Bridelia retusa. The aqueous ethanol extract of B. retusa exhibited highest in vitro hepatoprotective effects as evident from the significantly reduced serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) into the incubation medium of rat hepatocytes with carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄), over the other organic extracts (chloroform, ethylacetate, and methanol). CCl₄ administered through subcutaneous injection produced a marked elevation in the serum levels of GOT, GPT, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and decreased in the levels of reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, and total protein content. The biochemical activities were normalized in the pretreatment of rats induced by CCl₄ with different doses (250 and 500 mg kg^?1) of the aqueous ethanol extract of B. retusa. Histopathological changes induced by CCl₄ were also significantly attenuated by aqueous ethanol extract of B. retusa treatment. The activity of the aqueous ethanol extract of B. retusa at the dose of 500 mg kg^?1 was comparable to the standard drug, silymarin (25 mg kg^?1). The overall data indicated that B. retusa possesses a potent protective effect against CCl₄-induced hepatic damage and oxidative stress.     

Effects of chronic bisphenol A exposure on hepatic antioxidant parameters in medaka (Oryzias latipes)

Bisphenol A (BPA), the plastic monomer and plasticizer with well-known endocrine-disrupting chemical properties, is widely present in the aquatic environment, but little is known regarding hepatic toxicity in fish. This study assessed the effects of chronic exposure to BPA on the antioxidant defense system of Japanese medaka liver. Fish were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of BPA (0.1, 1, 10, 100, or 1000?µg?L^?1) for 60 days. Antioxidant parameters were determined and compared with controls. The results showed that the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, and the content of reduced glutathione were all induced at 10?µg?L^?1 BPA after 60 days. Further, hepatic CAT was sensitive to BPA at 1?µg?L^?1 concentration. In conclusion, CAT may serve as a potential early biomarker of BPA exposure in aquatic environment.     

Antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effects of Tephrosia purpurea leaf extract in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats

Diabetes mellitus is a worldwide leading metabolic syndrome, associated with profound alterations in carbohydrate, lipids, lipoproteins and protein metabolisms. Worldwide, traditional practitioners for the treatment of diabetes and its complications use a wide variety of medicinal plants. In the present study the aqueous extract of Tephrosia purpurea leaves (TpALet) was evaluated for its antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effects in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Profound alterations in the concentrations of blood glucose, lipids and lipoproteins were observed in diabetic rats. Oral administration of TpALet to diabetic rats at a dose of 600 mg/kg body weight significantly reduced the level of blood glucose and increased the level of plasma insulin as well as normalized the lipids and lipoproteins profile. The present study thus demonstrated that TpALet has prominent antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effects in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.     

Effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate on behavioural activity,regeneration and antioxidant enzymes in planarian Dugesia japonica

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant and has been found to be the predominant perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in the environment. In the present study, planarian Dugesia japonica is employed to investigate the toxicity of this compound. The behavioural activity, survival, regeneration and antioxidant enzyme activities of the D. japonica exposed to PFOS were investigated. The results showed that the planarian D. japonica is very sensitive to low concentration pollutants including PFOS and suitable for toxicological bioassays. PFOS has severe toxicity in inducing oxidative stress, regeneration and development toxicity in planarians. The toxicity is indicated by reduced planarian locomotor velocity (pLMV), reduced appearance of auricles in regenerating animals, changed in antioxidant enzyme SOD and CAT activities. The information presented in this study will help elucidating the PFOS-induced toxicity in aquatic organisms.     

Pb、Zn及其交互作用对蜈蚣草抗氧化酶及叶绿素含量的影响
