模拟酸雨对水稻叶片质膜H~+-ATPase活性与矿质元素含量的影响

采用水培法研究模拟酸雨(p H=5.0、3.5、2.5)对水稻叶片质膜H+-ATPase活性与矿质元素含量的影响.结果显示:与对照(CK)相比,酸雨处理5 d(胁迫期)后,p H=5.0组质膜H+-ATPase活性与活化能、K+、Ca2+、Mg2+含量均无显著变化,仅细胞渗透势下降.p H=3.5酸雨导致细胞渗透势、K+含量下降,质膜H+-ATPase活性、H+-ATPase活化能、Ca2+含量明显上升,Mg2+含量无显著变化.p H=2.5组H+-ATPase活性、细胞渗透势和K+、Mg2+含量明显下降,H+-ATPase活化能和Ca2+含量上升,表明矿质元素含量不仅受H+-ATPase活性的调控,还与酸雨强度和离子价态有关.经5 d恢复(恢复期)后,p H=5.0组各指标均恢复到CK水平,p H=3.5组除细胞渗透势外均恢复至CK水平,p H=2.5处理组各指标虽未达到CK水平,但较胁迫期有所恢复.表明K+、Ca2+、Mg2+含量受H+-ATPase活性的调节,且恢复效果受酸雨强度影响.     

全氟辛酸对酿酒酵母细胞毒性作用

全氟辛酸(PFOA)广泛应用于工业生产中,具有高度的生物毒性及生物蓄积性,然而PFOA对环境微生物的毒性影响仍有待深入开展.通过流式细胞术测定了酵母菌在不同浓度PFOA胁迫下细胞膜通透性、ROS、线粒体跨膜电位的变化,并且测定了MDA含量和Na+K+-ATPase、Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase活性变化.结果显示PFOA可使PI染色细胞比例增高,酿酒酵母细胞膜通透性增大、ROS和MDA含量升高、线粒体跨膜电位降低,且ROS含量、MDA含量与线粒体跨膜电位降幅均与PFOA胁迫浓度和时间呈正相关.Na+K+-ATPase、Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase活性先上升后降低,表明酿酒酵母在PFOA胁迫下,其生理活性受到抑制甚至发生细胞凋亡.证明PFOA对酿酒酵母具有生物毒性,100 mg·L-1PFOA对酿酒酵母具有即时毒性.该结果可为PFOA的影响评价提供更多依据.

岩浆岩岩石化学分析计算的新方法

为了划分岩浆岩的岩石化学组,提出了利用多维空间的问题。其空间坐标是:石英标准度[S=(Si-(2Ca″+3Na+3K—Na′))/M],碱度[NKS=(Na+K)/Si]、碱度类型(K/Na)、浅色度[AF=(Al+Al′)/M]、铁度(Fe/Mg)、钙-铝度[CAF=(Ca′+Al′)/(Fe+Mg)。式中Ca′、Al′、Na′对长石矿子来说是过剩的钙、铝和碱,Ca″为长石和似长石中的钙,M=Fe+Mn+Mg+Ca′+Al′+Ti。岩浆岩样品所占据的多维空间区的特征是岩石化学参数具有平均的和标准的偏差。确定所研究的样品属于哪一种标准属性,要通过关于多维平均偏差平衡的假设检验的方法或者利用A.提出的均一性标准来完成。

全氟辛酸对大肠杆菌的氧化胁迫和膜损伤

全氟辛酸(perfluorooctanoic acid,PFOA)因其具有极高的化学稳定性和良好的疏水疏油性而在工业生产中广泛使用,但近年来被认为是一种在环境中广泛分布的持久性有机污染物.利用流式细胞术等检测技术,研究了PFOA对大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli,E.coli)的氧化胁迫和膜损伤,并对其毒性作用机制进行了初步的探索.结果表明,在PFOA胁迫下,大肠杆菌胞内活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)含量增加,膜脂肪酸不饱和度降低,丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)浓度升高、细胞膜通透性增大、跨膜电位降低,而细胞膜上的Na+K+-ATPase、Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase活性随时间的延长代偿性地先上升后降低.由此说明,在PFOA胁迫下,大肠杆菌细胞内升高的ROS与细胞膜不饱和脂肪酸发生过氧化反应,降低膜脂肪酸的饱和度,使得MDA在细胞内积累,进一步引起细胞膜损伤及其上相关ATPase活性降低,最终导致大肠杆菌细胞失活或死亡.实验结果对研究PFOA胁迫下环境生态毒理提供更多依据.     

竞争性阳离子对粉煤灰合成沸石除氨氮的影响

研究了四种竞争性阳离子(K+、Na+、Ca2+、Mg2+)对三种改性粉煤灰合成沸石(Na沸石,Ca沸石,Al沸石)除氨氮能力的影响,并测定了合成沸石对四个湖泊水样(太湖、巢湖、洱海、抚仙湖)中氨氮的去除效果。结果表明,与Na+、Ca2+、Mg2+比较,K+对合成沸石除氨氮影响大得多;而前三者的影响大小的顺序为Na+Ca2+Mg2+。在纯水中,或不同竞争性阳离子存在下,或天然湖泊水样中,Al沸石和Ca沸石对氨氮的去除能力均远高于Na沸石。太湖和巢湖主要含Na+和Ca2+;洱海水样主要含Ca2+;抚仙湖水样主要含Ca2+和Mg2+;但四个湖泊水样中K+的浓度均为最低。Al沸石和Ca沸石对四个天然湖泊水样中的氨氮具有良好的去除效果,去除率达77%～90%。     

Endosulfan is toxic to the reproductive health of male freshwater fish, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cyprinion watsoni</Emphasis>

Endosulfan is an organochlorine pesticide that is toxic to aquatic life. Endosulfan might hamper the reproductive health of indigenous fish in agricultural areas of Pakistan where this pesticide is sprayed widely. The aim of the current study is to investigate the toxic effects of endosulfan on selected reproductive parameters of male freshwater fish, Cyprinion watsoni. Two concentrations of endosulfan (0.5 and 1 ppb for 30 days exposure) were tested for their effects on body weight, body length, and testicular weight, length, and width. Testicular testosterone was assayed from tissue extracts using enzyme immunoassay (EIA). A significant increase in the mortality rate was observed in both treated groups during both spawning and quiescent seasons. The overall behavior of fish in the aquarium was normal in all control and treated groups. However, the treated fish exhibited anxiety after treatment with endosulfan. The body weight and length, and testicular weight, length and width were not significantly different to the control group. The testicular testosterone concentrations were significantly lower in both endosulfan-treated groups compared to the control. The decrease was dose-dependent, with a significant difference between the two treated groups. The histomorphological results demonstrated various testicular alterations in the treated groups. These alterations included an increase in interlobular areas and clumping patterns in spermatocytes/spermatids. Because spermatids eventually differentiate into sperms, their low count will directly result in lower sperm count. Taken together, these results suggest that endosulfan is a toxicant that at least disturbs testosterone levels (possibly others) and negatively impacts the reproductive health of male freshwater fish.     

Biodegradation of organochlorine pesticide endosulfan by bacterial strain Alcaligenes faecalis JBW4

The recently discovered endosulfan-degrading bacterial strain Alcaligenesfaecalis JBW4 was isolated from activated sludge. This strain is able to use endosulfan as a carbon and energy source. The optimal conditions for the growth of strain JBW4 and for biodegradation by this strain were identified, and the metabolic products of endosulfan degradation were studied in detail. The maximum level of endosulfan biodegradation by strain JBW4 was obtained using broth at an initial pH of 7.0, an incubation temperature of 40℃ and an endosulfan concentration of I00 mg/L. The concentration of endosulfan was determined by gas chromatography. Strain JBW4 was able to degrade 87.5% of α-endosulfan and 83.9% of β-endosulfan within 5 days. These degradation rates are much higher than the previously reported bacterial strains. Endosulfan diol and endosulfan lactone were the major metabolites detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; endosulfan sulfate, which is a persistent and toxic metabolite, was not detected. These results suggested that A. faecalis JBW4 degrades endosulfan via a non-oxidative pathway. The biodegradation of endosulfan by A. faecalis is reported for the first time. Additionally, the present study indicates that strain JBW4 may have potential for the biodegradation of endosulfan residues.     

Endosulfan in the Chinese environment: monitoring and modeling

This paper reviews the usage and emissions of endosulfan, the newest member of the persistent organic pollutants (POPs), in China, and its fate and behavior in Chinese environment. Endosulfan usage in China has been estimated to be approximately 25700 t between 1994 and 2004. Concentrations of endosulfan in different environmental compartments in China, such as air, soil, water, and biota, but focusing at air and surface soil, have been summarized. Concentrations of total endosulfan in surface soil across China were ranged from below detection limit (BDL) to 19000 pg·g⁻¹ dry weight (dw), with geometric mean of 120 pg·g⁻¹dw. The results indicated that endosulfan sulfate had highest concentration in Chinese soil, followed by β- and α-endosulfan. Air concentrations of endosulfan in China were ranged 0–340 pg·m⁻³ for α-endosulfan and 0–121 pg·m⁻³ for β-endosulfan, with high concentrations occurred in the cotton production areas. Gridded usage inventories of endosulfan on a fine gridded system with a 1/4° longitude by 1/6° latitude resolution were compiled, from which, emission to air and residues in soil of endosulfan were calculated in each grid by using a modified simplified gridded pesticide emission and residue model (SGPERM), an integrated modeling system combining mathematical model, database management system, and geographic information system. Total emissions were around 10800 t from 1994 to 2004. Based on the emission and residue inventories, concentrations of α- and β-endosulfan in Chinese air and agricultural surface soil were also calculated for each grid cell, which are in general consistent with the published monitoring data.

通过改变溶液温度、pH值、ATP浓度、钙浓度和培养液的钙浓度等条件,研究了菹草根和叶细胞质膜Ca2+-ATPase的活性的变化.结果表明,根细胞质膜Ca2+-ATPase的活性在pH 6.0时最高,其最适反应温度为40℃;叶细胞质膜Ca2+-ATPase在一个较宽的pH范围内具有高活性,最适反应温度为45℃;溶液中ATP浓度分别为3mmol/L和4mmol/L时菹草根和叶细胞质膜Ca2+-ATPase活性最大;无论是菹草根还是叶细胞质膜Ca2+-ATPase活性,在溶液钙浓度为10-4mol/L时都最高.在营养液中添加不同CaCl2浓度培养菹草,其根和叶细胞质膜Ca2+-ATPase活性表现出差异,根细胞质膜Ca2+-ATPase活性比叶细胞质膜Ca2+-ATPase活性高,且随营养液中钙浓度的增加,这种差异加大;当营养液中钙浓度在10mg/L(2.5×10-4 mol/L)以下时,Ca2+-ATPase活性逐渐上升,营养液中钙浓度由10mg/L增加到15mg/L,Ca2+-ATPase活性陡然下降,这与溶液钙浓度对Ca2+-ATPase活性的影响相呼应.     

低剂量长期铅暴露对雄性黑斑蛙精巢组织关键酶活性的影响

在实验条件下,将健康的性成熟雄性黑斑蛙暴露于0.1、0.2、0.4、0.8和1.6mg·L-1的Pb2+溶液中30d,以Ca2+-ATP酶、Na+-K+-ATP酶、Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP酶、β-葡萄糖醛酸苷酶(β-DG)、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和酸性磷酸酶(ACP)活性为指标,进行了长期铅暴露对雄性黑斑蛙生殖毒性的研究.结果表明:随着铅染毒剂量的增加,Ca2+-ATP酶和Na+-K+-ATP酶活性被诱导,Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP酶活性被抑制,当Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP酶的抑制程度超过Ca2+-ATP酶和Na+-K+-ATP酶的代偿机制时,会抑制精子的发生,进而导致雄性生殖毒性;在1.6mg·L-1Pb2+处理下,ACP酶被显著抑制,提示支持细胞受损,精子总数受到影响;在0.4mg·L-1Pb2+处理下,LDH酶被显著抑制,提示生精细胞受损,精子质量受到影响.

通过摇床振荡试验和底泥磷释放控制模拟试验,考察了覆盖系统厚度、上覆水Ca2 浓度、温度、方解石粒径以及人工曝气等对方解石活性覆盖系统抑制底泥磷释放效率的影响.结果表明,方解石覆盖系统可以抑制厌氧状态下底泥磷的释放,且抑制效果受覆盖系统厚度、上覆水Ca2 浓度、温度、方解石粒径及人工曝气等的影响.方解石覆盖系统对底泥磷释放的抑制效率随厚度的增加而明显提高,方解石投加量由12.7 kg/m2增加到38.2 kg/m2,模拟期间覆盖系统对底泥磷释放的抑制率则由56%增加到99%;上覆水的Ca2 会增强方解石覆盖系统对底泥磷释放抑制的效率,上覆水Ca2 浓度由1 mmol/L增加到5mmol/L,模拟期间上覆水的磷浓度下降36%左右;对于方解石投加量较少的情况下,高温条件与低温条件相比,底泥向上覆水释放更多的磷,而通过增加覆盖系统的厚度可以消除高温所带来的不利影响;方解石覆盖系统对底泥磷释放的抑制效率随粒径的减小而明显增强;对方解石覆盖系统表面进行人工曝气,不仅可以降低底泥氨氮的释放速率,而且还可以降低底泥磷的释放速率.     

Reproductive toxicity of organic extracts from petrochemical plant effluents discharged to the Yangtze River, China

Water pollution of the Yangtze River in China became one of challenges that the government is facing today. Increasing numbers of petrochemical plants were built along the river in past decades, and numbers of organic chemicals were discharged into the river. Our goal was to establish in vitro system on rat sertoli cells, spermatogenic cells and leydig cells to investigate the reproductive toxicity potential induced by organic extracts from petrochemical effluents. Our results showed that the organic extract depressed the viability (p < 0.01) and destroyed the plasma membrane integrity of sertoli cells and spermatogenic cells to a certain degree. Accordingly, proportion of early apoptotic sertoli cells and late apoptotic spermatogenic cells increased significantly. Although significant morphological changes were not detected for leydig cells, the extract was observed to inhibit their testosterone production (p < 0.01). Sertoli cells and spermatogenic cells appeared to be more sensitive and maybe the main targets of the key toxins. These results suggested that the in vitro system on rat testicular cells may be useful to predicate reproductive toxicity potential of organic extracts from petrochemical effluents. More attention should be paid to the petrochemical effluents, because long-term accumulation of these organic compounds in organisms may cause spermatogenesis malfunction and testosterone reduction.
