假单胞菌N7的萘降解特性及其降解途径研究

应用HPLC和UV分析技术,以萘为代表性多环芳烃污染物,研究了假单胞菌N7对水中萘的降解特性.结果表明,营养盐、微量元素的添加可使萘的降解率提高23.65%;溶解氧高于4.3 mg/L时萘降解率达95.66%并趋于稳定;随萘浓度增加降解率逐渐下降;在中性和弱碱性环境下,降解效果较好,萘降解率均在82.88%以上.在30℃、转速为165 r/min的摇床中处理pH7.5、萘浓度为100 mg/L的水样72 h,其最大降解率为95.66%.通过检测菌株N7处理含不同底物水样时其吸光度、pH和底物的变化情况,证实菌株N7亦能降解甲苯、二甲苯、苯酚、2,4-二硝基苯酚、苯甲酸、1-萘酚和水杨酸,并以其为唯一的碳源和能源生长繁殖,表明该菌株能适应环境中芳烃类物质种类的变化,具有很好的降解多样性.经UV-Vis和GC-MS分析各降解阶段的中间产物,初步确定了该菌对萘的降解途径:一条是邻苯二甲酸途径;另一条是水杨酸途径,萘先被氧化为1,2-二羟基萘,再开环生成水杨酸、邻苯二酚和2-羟基粘康酸半醛,最终进入三羧酸循环(TCA).

添加不同钝化剂降低污泥堆肥的植物毒性研究

高温堆肥后污泥的土地利用可充分发挥资源化、无害化的优势,污泥土地利用防止重金属污染一直是污泥施用中最重要的问题。通过测验发芽率指数这一代表植物毒性的指标证明,通过在污泥堆肥中加入粉煤灰、磷矿粉和草炭等不同的改性剂或重金属钝化剂可大大降低堆肥的植物毒性,从而降低污泥中重金属的可利用性。     

两栖动物栖息地保护与构建前沿及其对喀斯特地区的启示

随着石漠化的发生与发展,生境的丧失和破碎化使得喀斯特地区两栖动物的生存环境逐渐恶劣。通过分析国内外各地区的尝试和经验,在原生环境保护、被破坏生境恢复、人工栖息地模拟、区域规划建设、景观生态建设等5个方面,对两栖动物栖息地保护与构建的方法作了总结。综合近年来我国主要喀斯特地貌分布区——贵州、云南、广西3省两栖动物资源调查和监测的数据,最终收集到有关3省的公开发表的两栖动物物种记录共265种,隶属3目12科49属,其中117种两栖动物分布于喀斯特地貌区。通过从生境临时化、生境单一化、生境趋劣化3方面对喀斯特地区两栖动物的生境现状进行了探讨,提出了在该地区进行两栖动物栖息地保护与构建的5点建议:(1)对原生水源、沼泽等湿地进行有效保护;(2)将两栖动物栖息地的保护与建设纳入石漠化治理;(3)对地势条件较好的暂时性坑塘进行防渗处理;(4)在道路、住房等的规划中融入生态建设理念;(5)构建两栖动物生态廊道。     

Transfer assessment of carbendazim residues from rapeseed to oil production determined by HPLC–MS/MS

Abstract

It is crucial to develop practical procedures for the control and reduction of pesticide residues in oil productions from farm to dining table. In this study, the dissipation behaviors of typical fungicide from rapeseed to oil production were studied to reveal relationship among spraying stage, application dosage, household oil processing stage, and pesticide residues. In the field trials, rape plants were sprayed with carbendazim at three different dosages during flowering period. Transfer assessment of carbendazim residues from rapeseed to oil production during household oil processing via different press techniques was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS). The recoveries of carbendazim in rapeseed samples, meals after squeezing samples, and rapeseed oil samples ranged from 82.5% to 93.6% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ＜5.2%. The validation results illustrated that the methods were reliable and sensitive. The average processing factor (PF) during household oil processing via hot press technique and cold press technique was 0.15 and 0.51, respectively. This study demonstrated that household oil processing could significantly reduce the pesticide residues, especially by hot press technique.

Low ambient temperature increases hospital re-admissions for systemic lupus erythematosus in humid subtropical region: a time series study

Currently, the correlation between ambient temperature and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) hospital admissions remains not determined. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between ambient temperature and SLE hospital admissions in Hefei City, China. An ecological study design was adopted. Daily data on SLE hospital admissions in Hefei City, from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2017, were obtained from the two largest tertiary hospitals in Hefei, and the daily meteorological data at the same period were retrieved from China Meteorological Data Network. The generalized additive model (GAM) combined with distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) with Poisson link was applied to evaluate the influence of ambient temperature on SLE hospital admissions after controlling for potential confounding factors, including seasonality, relative humidity, day of week, and long-term trend. There were 1658 SLE hospital admissions from 2007 to 2017, including 370 first admissions and 1192 re-admissions (there were 96 admissions with admission status not stated). No correlation was observed between ambient temperature and SLE first admissions, but a correlation was found between low ambient temperature and SLE re-admissions (RR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.11, 5.77) (3.5 °C vs 21 °C). The effect of ambient temperature on SLE re-admissions remained for 2 weeks but disappeared in 3 weeks. Exposure to low ambient temperature may increase hospital re-admissions for SLE, and thus it is important for SLE patients to maintain a warm living environment and avoid exposure to lower ambient temperature.
