光助纳米铁还原Cr(VI)的研究

采用液相还原法制备了纳米铁,并用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)对其晶体结构、形貌特征进行了表征.以Cr(Ⅵ)为模拟污染物,中压汞灯作为光源,考察了不同投加量、不同pH值等条件下光照对纳米铁还原Cr(Ⅵ)的影响.结果表明:制备的纳米铁具有很高的反应活性,粒径约为7.6nm,呈球形,可在空气中自燃.在25℃、Cr(Ⅵ)浓度为20mg/L、pH=7±0.5,加入0.1g的纳米铁,光照60min后Cr(Ⅵ)的还原率达到62.3%,而无光照时Cr(Ⅵ)的还原率仅为27.6%,说明光照对Cr(Ⅵ)的还原具有明显的促进作用.当纳米铁投加量较大时,纳米铁对Cr(Ⅵ)的还原速率大于光照对其产生的影响.反应液pH值对Cr(Ⅵ)还原速率的影响较光照对其产生的影响显著.在紫外光的照射下,纳米铁中电荷可能在诱导下作受迫振荡,与吸附分子发生电荷传递是光照促进纳米铁还原Cr(Ⅵ)的主要原因.     

畜禽养殖排放的雌激素对周边水体环境的影响

环境雌激素是一大类化学物质,它们能够干扰生物体内激素的合成、分泌、转运、活性等,或与生物体内激素结构相似而发挥激素作用,对生物体的生长、繁殖及行为产生不利影响。环境雌激素包括天然雌激素及人工合成类雌激素。随着国内畜禽养殖的规模与数量的不断扩大,养殖场成为了一个很大的环境雌激素的产生源,其环境风险应得到相应的重视。目前对畜禽养殖过程中环境雌激素的产生量以及雌激素进入环境后的迁移转化行为已有很多的研究,包括野外的调查与实验室内机理研究。畜禽养殖过程产生的大量雌激素进入环境后能够被土壤吸附及微生物降解。室内的静态平衡吸附实验、土柱迁移试验及降解研究均表明雌激素进入环境后绝大部分迅速被吸附到土壤颗粒或悬浮胶体、沉积物颗粒上,同时发生转化与生物降解,由此推断其对周边环境中的雌激素贡献很小。然而,野外调查结果却表明实际情况下雌激素的迁移性高于理论期望值。因此,畜禽养殖对周边环境中雌激素的贡献量的大小尚未明确。本论文综述了畜禽养殖过程中环境雌激素的排放情况,结合国内外的调查研究,阐述了畜禽养殖产生的环境雌激素在土壤及水体中的迁移与降解行为,探讨了影响准确评估畜禽养殖排泄物对周边水体中雌激素贡献大小的因子,并提出了今后应开展原位吸附与迁移的实验,重点考虑天然有机质及抗生素等共存物质对雌激素环境行为的影响,建立综合模型来估算不同时期养殖场对周围水环境雌激素的贡献量的建议。

Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Grafted Starch Introducing a Novel Interphase in Poly(Lactic Acid)/Poly(Ethylene Glycol)/Starch Ternary Composites

The main purpose of this study is challenging to dramatically improve the toughness of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/starch by adding poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) into the composites and grafting PEG molecules onto the surface of starch particles. It was found that the surface grafting of PEG onto starch induced the presence of PEG-rich regions located around the starch particles, caused by migration and aggregation of free PEG molecules. A novel interphase transition layer between PLA and starch was formed, which showed great ability for cavitation and vested large-scaled plastic deformation to PLA matrix. Further mechanical properties tests indicated the formation of interphase layer significantly increase the elongation at break from 10.2 to 254.5%, and notched impact strength from 1.56 to 2.37?kJ/m² for PLA/PEG/starch ternary composites. The influence of PEG component, ethanol extraction and annealing was also investigated.     

Absence of metallothionein 3 expression in breast cancer is a rare but favorable marker that is under epigenetic control

Cadmium (Cd²⁺), a known carcinogen, mimics the effects of estrogen in the uterus and mammary gland suggesting its possible involvement in the development and progression of breast cancer. This lab showed through analysis of a small set of archival human diagnostic specimens that the third isoform of the classic Cd²⁺ binding protein metallothionein (MT-3) is not expressed in normal breast tissue, but is expressed in some breast cancers and that expression tends to correlate with a poor disease outcome. The goals of this study were to verify that overexpression of MT-3 in a large set of archival human diagnostic specimens tends to correlate with poor disease outcome and define the mechanism of MT-3 gene regulation in the normal breast epithelial cell. The results showed that MT-3 was expressed in approximately 90% of all breast cancers and was absent in normal breast epithelium. The lack of MT-3 staining in some cancers correlated with a favorable patient outcome. High frequency of MT-3 staining was also found for in situ breast cancer suggesting that MT-3 might be an early biomarker for breast cancer. The study also demonstrated that the MCF-10A cell line, an immortalized, non-tumorigenic model of human breast epithelial cells, displayed no basal expression of MT-3, nor was it induced by Cd²⁺. Treatment of the MCF-10A cells with the demethylation agent, 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine, or the histone deacetylase inhibitor, MS-275, restored MT-3 mRNA expression. It was also shown that the MT-3 metal regulatory elements are potentially active binders of protein factors following treatment with these inhibitors suggesting that MT-3 expression may be subject to epigenetic regulation.     

Determination and QSPR analysis of log Kow and log Koc for fluorine containing benzene derivatives

Octanol‐water partition coefficients (Kow) and soil organic carbon sorption coefficients (Koc) were determined for 14 fluorinated benzene derivatives. Quantitative structure‐property relationships were developed using molecular connectivity indices and quantum chemical parameters to analyze the most significant factors influencing these physico‐chemical properties of the compounds. The substitution by F in benzene derivatives has greater influence on Koc than on Kow.
