基于3D体外培养模型的化学物质肝毒性预测研究进展

精准预测化学物质肝毒性对保护人类生命健康安全具有重要意义。为了避免动物实验固有的物种间差异性和局限性,开发和利用与人源肝脏生理功能直接相关的体外模型至关重要。三维(3D)体外细胞培养模型相比于二维(2D)模型能更好地保留肝细胞代谢功能,再现肝脏内多种细胞相互作用的复杂环境,是体外模拟肝脏生理功能的一大进步,并初步在药物毒性评估方面获得应用的同时,也被引入到环境毒理学领域用于预测环境化学物质的肝毒性。本文介绍了目前常用3D体外细胞培养模型的制备方法,综述了其在环境化学物质(纳米材料、持久性有机污染物和新型有机污染物等)肝毒性预测方面的应用现状,最后探讨了3D肝细胞体外培养模型在有害结局路径指导下开展肝毒性预测的研究与应用前景。     

Insight into the dynamic microbial community and core bacteria in composting from different sources by advanced bioinformatics methods

Microbial communities are important for high composting efficiency and good quality composts. This study was conducted to compare the changes of physicochemical and bacterial characteristics in composting from different raw materials, including chicken manure (CM), duck manure (DM), sheep manure (SM), food waste (FW), and vegetable waste (VW). The role and interactions of core bacteria and their contribution to maturity in diverse composts were analyzed by advanced bioinformatics methods combined sequencing with co-occurrence network and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results indicated that there were obviously different bacterial composition and diversity in composting from diverse sources. FW had a low pH and different physiochemical characteristics compared to other composts but they all achieved similar maturity products. Redundancy analysis suggested total organic carbon, phosphorus, and temperature governed the composition of microbial species but key factors were different in diverse composts. Network analysis showed completely different interactions of core bacterial community from diverse composts but Thermobifida was the ubiquitous core bacteria in composting bacterial network. Sphaerobacter and Lactobacillus as core genus were presented in the starting mesophilic and thermophilic phases of composting from manure (CM, DM, SM) and municipal solid waste (FW, VW), respectively. SEM indicated core bacteria had the positive, direct, and the biggest (>?80%) effects on composting maturity. Therefore, this study presents theoretical basis to identify and enhance the core bacteria for improving full-scale composting efficiency facing more and more organic wastes.

洋河水库泄洪对近岸海域水质的影响

基于验证良好的秦皇岛河流-海岸一二维耦合数学模型,探讨了洋河水库泄洪对近岸海域水质的影响。由于水库COD浓度略高于近岸海域COD标准浓度,但远低于河道水体COD浓度,水库开闸放水初期,河口海域COD日平均浓度和超标面积较泄洪前有所增大,此后随着水库的不断泄洪,海域COD日平均浓度和超标面积逐渐减小,最终趋于稳定,海域水质较泄洪前得到明显改善。在相同水库放水COD浓度下,泄量越大,携带水库下游河道的污染物入海越多,海域COD日平均浓度超标面积越大,且泄量与超标面积间服从线性函数关系。在污染物入海通量相同的情况下,减小污染物入海浓度在一定程度上可以改善近岸海域水质状况。     

降雨诱发公路滑坡社会风险评估∗

降雨诱发公路滑坡灾害威胁着行车人员的生命安全,评估公路滑坡社会风险具有重要意义。然而,目前的公路滑坡社会风险评估方法无法考虑不同伤亡人数的年发生概率。针对上述不足,提出公路滑坡两类影响方式下不同伤亡人数的年发生概率计算方法,两类影响方式分别为运动滑体冲击行进中车辆和运动车辆碰撞已滑落滑体。提出的方法被用于评估香港地区青山公路某滑坡社会风险。首先基于中国香港历史滑坡数据统计获得降雨诱发该滑坡的年发生概率,之后采用经验公式预测该滑坡可能的滑动距离,最后基于全概率理论对两类影响方式下不同伤亡人数的年发生概率分别进行计算,并基于F?N 图对社会风险进行评价。评价结果表明不同类型车辆人员的伤亡风险互不相同,运动滑体冲击行进中车辆造成的人员伤亡风险低于运动车辆碰撞已滑落滑体造成的人员伤亡风险。     

泸定6.8级地震农村居住建筑震害调查与分析∗

2022 年 9 月 5 日,四川省泸定县发生了 6.8 级地震,对泸定、石棉、汉源等地区的农村建筑造成严重影响。为了分析农村建筑的震害,对评估烈度为Ⅵ~Ⅸ度区域 12 个乡镇 35 个地点的农村建筑进行了现场调查,总结了砖砌体结构、木结构、石结构和生土结构的典型震害特征,并对 4 种结构的震害等级进行了统计和分析。结果表明：砖砌体结构房屋的严重破坏及倒塌占比为 4.2% 和 3.3%,且与构造措施有很大关系,未经正规设计且缺乏构造措施的砌体结构出现屋面破坏、局部甚至整体倒塌,但设有构造措施的砌体结构房屋保存较好;木结构建筑整体受损较轻,但由于本次泸定地震的竖向作用强烈,木屋盖破坏较为严重;石砌体结构和生土结构房屋,发生严重破坏和倒塌的比例较高,严重破坏占比分别为 7.2% 和 5.1%,倒塌占比分别为 10% 和 7%,破坏最为严重。山体滑坡、落石等次生灾害对建筑造成不同程度的损坏,是此次泸定地震的特征之一。针对此次泸定地震的破坏特征,建议农村建筑落实抗震措施,引入适用的新工艺;灾后恢复过程中,以房屋震损程度评估为基础,重建与加固相结合;同时,建议注重农村规划、选址的研究,降低地震次生灾害破坏;应当进行抗震科普宣传,加强农村工匠培训。

盐蚀环境下微生物矿化岩土材料的冻融特性研究

基于MICP技术将松散砂粒改良成微生物矿化岩土材料,通过室内冻融循环实验,研究矿化材料在4种不同的冻融环境中的表观形貌、质量损失率、饱和含水率、无侧限抗压强度随冻融循环周期的变化规律,以及利用NMR测试手段分析材料的孔隙变化。结果表明:随着冻融周期增加,在4种冻融液中矿化材料均伴随剥落现象,无侧限抗压强度均呈逐渐减小趋势,质量的损失和饱和含水率的增加严重影响了材料的抗冻性能,且在5%Na₂SO₄溶液中矿化材料的粉化速度较快,质量损失最大,劣化速度最快,NMR图谱中弛豫时间大于200 ms的未冻水含量在冻融过程变化最大,是造成样本质量的损失和强度的破坏的主要原因;在去离子水溶液中样本的抗冻能力也较弱,次于Na₂SO₄溶液;在3%NaCl溶液和混合溶液中由于NaCl的存在降低材料的凝固点,使得材料的抗冻能力延长,此研究为微生物矿化岩土材料在寒冷地区的工程应用提供基础实验依据。
