纳米Fe3O4对小鼠肺细胞的氧化损伤

纳米Fe3O4作为一种功能材料,在生物医药、生物靶向材料、微波吸收材料和高梯度磁分离器等方面应用前景广阔,其潜在的生物毒性也备受关注。为研究纳米Fe3O4对生物体可能造成的氧化损伤,以昆明小鼠为受试体,设置5、10、20和40mg·kg-14个染毒组,腹腔注射染毒7d后,测定小鼠肺组织中活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)、还原型谷胱甘肽(glutathione,GSH)和丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)的含量。结果显示,随着纳米Fe3O4染毒剂量的升高,肺组织ROS和MDA含量逐渐上升,GSH含量逐渐降低,各指标均呈一定的剂量-效应关系。剂量≥10mg·kg-1,肺组织ROS含量与对照组相比有显著差异(p<0.05);剂量≥20mg·kg-1,肺组织MDA含量与对照组相比有显著差异(p<0.05);剂量≥40mg·kg-1,肺组织GSH含量与对照组相比有显著差异(p<0.05)。研究表明,较高剂量(≥20mg·kg-1)的纳米Fe3O4颗粒材料会引起小鼠肺细胞的氧化损伤。     

Systematical strategies for wastewater treatment and the generated wastes and greenhouse gases in China

China now faces double challenges of water resources shortage and severe water pollution. To resolve Chinese water pollution problems and reduce its impacts on human health, economic growth and social development, the situation of wastewater treatment was investigated. Excess sludge and greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted during wastewater treatment were also surveyed. It is concluded that Chinese water pollution problems should be systematically resolved with inclusion of wastewater and the solid waste and GHGs generated during wastewater treatment. Strategies proposed for the wastewater treatment in China herein were also adequate for other countries, especially for the developing countries with similar economic conditions to China.     

洋河水库微囊藻空间分布特征及其影响因素分析

通过野外调查及现场风速实时监测,对2010年夏季我国河北洋河水库微囊藻的空间分布特征及其影响因素进行了研究.结果表明,在水平空间上,西洋河口(主要入湖河口)微囊藻细胞密度最高,库心、北库心、坝前西、东洋河口等位置次之,坝前东(取水口)处微囊藻细胞密度最低,整体呈由水库西北向东南方向降低的趋势.Pearson相关性检验表明,洋河水库微囊藻细胞密度与ρ(TP)显著相关(P<0.05),但与ρ(DTP)、ρ(TN)及ρ(NO3--N)相关性不显著(P>0.05).风场分析表明,洋河水库水华发生季节东南风风频明显大于西北风,说明洋河水库微囊藻水平空间分布主要受入湖河流氮、磷污染及风场分布共同影响.西洋河口和库心的微囊藻昼夜垂向分布特征表现为早晨主要集中在水体的表层(10 cm),中午主要分布在水体0～3.5 m的水层,而傍晚时则可能下沉至底层,昼夜变化规律明显,并且其垂向分布特征主要受藻细胞的光合作用和风浪的混匀作用共同影响.

Population structure and community characteristics of Acer catalpifolium Rehd北大核心CSCD

Acer catalpifolium Rehd., a critically endangered tree species with an extremely limited range of distribution, is one of the 120 plant species with extremely small populations, as approved by the state forestry administration of the People's Republic of China and requires urgent rescue action. In order to comprehensively understand the population status and the future developmental trend of A. catalpifolium, the plant communities were investigated from 5 sites, including Caishenmiao (CSM), Banruosi (BRS), Zhangshancun (ZSC), Fuhusi (FHS), and Baoguosi (BGS). The population structure of A. catalpifolium as well as the species composition and community characteristics of its habitat were investigated. The results showed that A. catalpifolium is mainly distributed in the evergreen broad-leaved and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forests, in different community layers, namely, the tree layer, shrub layer, and herb layer, and is accompanied by 52, 74, and 52 plant species, respectively. Analyses of the distribution of population abundance revealed that BRS had the largest distribution of A. catalpifolium, accounting for 26.04% of the total population, followed by FHS, ZSC, BGS, and CSM, in that order. Analyses of the community characteristics revealed that the species diversity indices in FHS, BRS, BGS, and CSM were greater than that in ZSC. Analyses of the population age structure of A. catalpifolium revealed the gap in the distribution of the levels of seedlings and young trees. There were serious obstacles to the regeneration of the natural population. We concluded that the obstacle to the regeneration of the population of A. catalpifolium might be caused by the high competitive pressure from the dominant species and the micro-environment in the forest. Understanding the community characteristics and the population structure of A. catalpifolium could provide a theoretical foundation for its reintroduction and recovery. © 2018 Science Press.

Assessment and management of urbanization-induced ecological risks

The urban ecological risk incurred during the processes of urbanization has been constantly accumulating, creating a severe challenge for China to achieve sustainable urban development. At present, research on systematic evaluation of urban ecological risks is still inadequate, especially at an urban ecosystem level. In this special issue, we use Xiamen City as an example to identify the sources and receptors of urban ecological risks, to develop a methodology system of urban ecological risk assessment, and to propose a method for the management of urban ecological risks. This special issue contains 11 research articles resulting from a comprehensive research project funded by China’s National Natural Science Foundation. The innovations reported in this special issue include a framework of urban ecological risk assessment and a standardized procedure for carrying out urban ecological risk assessment using multiple stressors and endpoints.     

磺胺类化合物对大肠杆菌突变QSAR预测模型初探

抗生素被广泛应用于医疗、农业和畜牧业等领域,但是长期滥用会促进细菌的突变作用。本文以大肠杆菌(E.coli)为受试生物,测定了10种磺胺类抗生素(SAs)单一暴露时对E.coli的突变效应,采用物化参数Ebinding(抗生素与其靶蛋白的相互作用能力)与突变效应参数lgRC0-2(最高可观测突变促进效应浓度)或lgRCmax(突变促进率最大值对应的浓度),建立了突变效应的QSAR模型,并采用雷达图进行验证。结果表明,lgRC0-2与Ebinding模型和lgRCmax与Ebinding、DMG(偶极矩)模型的拟合系数R2分别是0.888、0.873,即lgRC0-2或lgRCmax与Ebinding相关性均较好,可能由于磺胺类化合物(SAs)会作用于叶酸合成通路,影响嘌呤、嘧啶碱基的合成,从而对E.coli的突变具有促进效应,且雷达图验证表明,上述2个模型均具有良好的内部预测能力。本研究有望为抗生素使用带来的生态风险评价以及药物设计提供相关指导。     

考虑偏应力比影响的主应力轴旋转下重塑黄土变形研究

采用浙江大学空心圆柱扭剪仪对重塑黄土试样进行了3种复杂应力路径下的试验,研究了主应力轴旋转条件下偏应力比η对重塑黄土变形特性的影响。试验结果表明,不同偏应力比下重塑黄土的强度差异较大,η=0.133时归一化强度最小,而η=0.433时强度最大,偏应力比η从0.133到0.5时归一化强度呈现增大—减小—增大—减小的规律。主应力轴旋转对重塑黄土的各应变增量均有影响,并且对中间主应变增量的影响最大,其中大主应变和小主应变在ε-q平面内对称开展,且总体表现出Δεz0,Δεθ0的趋势,中间主应变整体呈现Δεr0的发展趋势,当应力主轴旋转目标角度α45°时,中间主应变呈现出不同的开展形式,重塑黄土在应力主轴旋转下向异性较为显著。     

How aerosol direct effects influence the source contributions to PM2.5 concentrations over Southern Hebei,China in severe winter haze episodes

The aerosol direct effects result in a 3%–9% increase in PM_2.5 concentrations over Southern Hebei. These impacts are substantially different under different PM_2.5 loadings. Industrial and domestic contributions will be underestimated if ignoring the feedbacks. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area is the most air polluted region in China and the three neighborhood southern Hebei cities, Shijiazhuang, Xingtai, and Handan, are listed in the top ten polluted cities with severe PM_2.5 pollution. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the impacts of aerosol direct effects on air quality over the southern Hebei cities, as well as the impacts when considering those effects on source apportionment using three dimensional air quality models. The WRF/Chem model was applied over the East Asia and northern China at 36 and 12 km horizontal grid resolutions, respectively, for the period of January 2013, with two sets of simulations with or without aerosol-meteorology feedbacks. The source contributions of power plants, industrial, domestic, transportation, and agriculture are evaluated using the Brute-Force Method (BFM) under the two simulation configurations. Our results indicate that, although the increases in PM_2.5 concentrations due to those effects over the three southern Hebei cities are only 3%–9% on montly average, they are much more significant under high PM_2.5 loadings (~50 μg·m⁻³ when PM_2.5 concentrations are higher than 400 μg m⁻³). When considering the aerosol feedbacks, the contributions of industrial and domestic sources assessed using the BFM will obviously increase (e.g., from 30%–34% to 32%–37% for industrial), especially under high PM_2.5 loadings (e.g., from 36%–44% to 43%–47% for domestic when PM_2.5>400 μg·m⁻³). Our results imply that the aerosol direct effects should not be ignored during severe pollution episodes, especially in short-term source apportionment using the BFM.
