Adverse effects of triclosan on kidney in mice: Implication of lipid metabolism disorders

Triclosan (TCS) is a ubiquitous antimicrobial used in daily consumer products. Previous reports have shown that TCS could induce hepatotoxicity, endocrine disruption, disturbance on immune function and impaired thyroid function. Kidney is critical in the elimination of toxins, while the effects of TCS on kidney have not yet been well-characterized. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of TCS exposure on kidney function and the possible underlying mechanisms in mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were orally exposed to TCS with the doses of 10 and 100 mg/(kg•day) for 13 weeks. TCS was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and diluted by corn oil for exposure. Corn oil containing DMSO was used as vehicle control. Serum and kidney tissues were collected for study. Biomarkers associated with kidney function, oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis were assessed. Our results showed that TCS could cause renal injury as was revealed by increased levels of renal function markers including serum creatinine, urea nitrogen and uric acid, as well as increased oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokines and fibrotic markers in a dose dependent manner, which were more significantly in 100 mg/(kg•day) group. Mass spectrometry-based analysis of metabolites related with lipid metabolism demonstrated the occurrence of lipid accumulation and defective fatty acid oxidation in 100 mg/(kg•day) TCS-exposed mouse kidney. These processes might lead to lipotoxicity and energy depletion, thus resulting in kidney fibrosis and functional decline. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that TCS could induce lipid accumulation and fatty acid metabolism disturbance in mouse kidney, which might contribute to renal function impairment. The present study further widens our insights into the adverse effects of TCS.     

盐度变化对日本对虾暴发白斑综合症病毒病的影响

为研究盐度在对虾暴发白斑综合症 (whitespotsyndrome)过程中所起的作用 ,进行了盐度变化对日本对虾免疫水平的影响实验及不同盐度下的人工感染实验。结果显示 :(1)盐度是影响日本对虾生理、存活的重要环境因子 ;(2 )盐度变化能够影响对虾的免疫状况 ,盐度升高和降低都会降低日本对虾的免疫水平 ;(3)在偏离对虾正常生存盐度的环境中 ,对虾抵御外来感染能力降低 ,易受病原体如WSSV的感染 ;(4)盐度变化是导致对虾爆发白斑综合症的重要诱因之一。

溴氰菊酯混配农药--大地西对稻田-鱼塘水生生态系的安全评价研究

研究了在自然条件下施用溴氰菊酯混配农药——大地西对稻田-鱼塘水生生态系的影响。结果表明,在稻田中施用时,由于实际用量低,加上作物的沾附、土壤与水体中悬浮物的吸附及其存在形态的变化,其实际浓度与毒性已降低到对稻田养鱼及邻近鱼塘的水生生物不再有危害的程度。描述了溴氰菊酯在整个模拟生态系中的迁移与消减规律。研究了溴氰菊酯在不同加工剂型中的存在形态,以及在鱼体内的吸收与分布特点及其与毒性的关系。     

蒙脱石b轴有序度的测定及其实用意义

粉末X射线衍射测量蒙脱石结构有序度,采用v/p值法仅反映c轴方向有序度,不能代表a、b轴方向有序度。作者提出(02)反射带峰形不对称程度是b轴有序程度的直观反映,将该峰峰高(H)与2/3高宽(W)的比值定义为蒙脱石晶体结构的b轴有序度,H/W值越大,b轴有序度越高,反之,朽序度低。H/W值对蒙脱石原矿评价与应用研究有一定意义。
