Research progress of nitrous oxide reductase gene (nosZII) and its relationship with the environment北大核心CSCD

The greenhouse effect has become increasingly serious globally. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is both the major ozone depleting substance and a potent greenhouse gas having a global warming potential 298 times that of CO2, and the N2O concentration is still increasing at an annual rate of about 0.8 × 10-9. Nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR) can reduce N2O to N2, and until recently, the nosZ gene was the only gene known to be able to encode N2OR. Besides the well-known nosZI, a new lineage of the N2O-reductase (nosZ clade II), which is abundant and widespread in soils, has been identified. In this paper, the main characters of nosZII-containing microbial communities and the related working mechanisms are summarized. In addition to the main differences between nosZI and nosZII, the important environmental factors that regulate the composition, abundance, and expression of nosZII-containing communities are also discussed in this paper. Studies have shown that nosZII communities are distributed among a diverse range of bacterial and archaeal phyla, such as Epsilon-proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Aquificae. Interestingly, most of the nosZII microbes lack a nitrite reductase encoding gene (nirS or nirK) and are therefore unable to denitrify, indicating the importance of these communities as N2O sinks. Soil properties such as texture, pH, C/ N ratio, temperature, and lake physical gradient could regulate nosZII microbe abundance and diversity, and the pH and C/ N ratio may be the most important influencing factors. Studies on the ecological function of nosZII microbes have advanced considerably with the development of molecular biology technology. However, further studies on the community structure of nosZII microbes, the influencing factors of nosZII microbe abundance and diversity, and characteristics of nosZII strains with strong N2O reducing ability are needed. We hope to provide a theoretical basis that can be used to facilitate N2O reduction and relieve the greenhouse gas problem. © 2018 Science Press. All rights reserved.     

Compliance with recommended protective actions during an H7N9 emergency: a risk perception perspective

This study investigates the factors determining an individual's response to official recommended protective measures, based on the Health Belief Model and the Protective Action Decision Model, to understand the adoption of protective behaviour during an H7N9 (Avian Influenza A) emergency. A public survey involving 1,375 respondents was conducted in Anhui Province, China, during the 2013 H7N9 outbreak to test the research model and hypotheses. The results indicate that protective, stakeholder, and risk perceptions influence positively an individual's willingness to take recommended actions. Protective and stakeholder perceptions also have a positive bearing on lay people's risk perceptions. A stakeholder perception is a vital determinant of a protective perception. More importantly, the effects of protective and stakeholder perceptions on behavioural responses to recommendations are mediated in part by risk perception. These findings can help public health officials to develop messages to encourage members of the population to protect themselves effectively during an influenza crisis.     

碘代X射线造影剂的环境浓度、分析方法与毒性评估研究进展

碘代X射线造影剂(ICMs)是使用最广泛的血管内药物,近年来在水生环境中频繁检出.由于其高稳定性、高极性和持久性,ICMs会在水生环境中持续存在并且难以被降解.在水生环境中会与消毒剂、天然有机物结合生成具有毒性的消毒副产物(DBPs),由于其本身毒性以及转化产物DBPs的毒性增强了环境健康风险,进而引发了人们的密切关注.本文介绍了ICMs的环境浓度、分析方法以及毒性风险.重点描述了ICMs的前处理技术、检测方法及ICMs毒性评价现状,并展望了以后ICMs毒性的研究方向.     

安徽淮北矿区地表水氮的富营养化特征及来源解析

为探索淮北临涣矿区地表水体中氮的分布和来源,采集研究区河流和沉陷积水区样品,测试分析其水化学指标和氮、氧同位素特征值,并采用IsoSource模型计算不同端源氮的污染贡献率。结果表明:研究区地表水处于中度富营养化状态,矿区地表水中氮的输入源受含氮肥料、土壤有机氮和粪肥污水共同影响,所发生的硝化及反硝化作用微弱;矿区河水中氮的主要输入源为粪肥污水,贡献率达66.6%,沉陷积水区氮主要受含氮肥料输入的影响,贡献率达52.0%。     

微塑料对膜蒸馏处理含锑高盐废水性能影响研究

研究了微塑料在膜蒸馏过程中不同温度、pH、微塑料浓度和微塑料粒径条件下对含锑高盐废水的处理性能及机理.结果表明,随着进料液温度的升高,饱和蒸汽压的增加提高了传质动力,不含微塑料时膜通量由17.4 L·m^-2·h^-1提高至20.7 L·m^-2·h^-1,通量提升了18.9%,含有微塑料时膜通量由15.6 L·m^-2·h^-1提高至18.5 L·m^-2·h^-1,提升了18.6%;pH由3增大至11时,由于重金属锑在不同pH条件下的价态变化及静电排斥作用,重金属锑截留率由98.2%提升至99.6%;微塑料浓度的增加会降低膜通量,提高锑截留效果,这可能是微塑料对溶液中重金属锑的吸附作用及微塑料在膜表面的积聚产生的筛分效应引起的.     

Copeland法与证据权重法在污染物危害性排序上的对比研究

化学物质可能对生态环境或通过不同环境介质对人体健康造成危害。为识别出高危害的污染物,采用Copeland计分排序法和证据权重法,分别选择4、6和8个筛选指标,开展了50种污染物危害特性优先性排序。结果表明:筛选因子数量相同时,2种方法危害性排序结果的斯皮尔曼相关性在0.94以上,具有较好的相关性,可见2种方法均可用于污染物危害性排序;方法相同时,不同指标排序结果之间的相关性相对较小,表明选择不同的筛选指标对结果影响较大。     

受火混凝土温度场的试验与数值模拟研究

对火灾下预埋温度传感器的混凝土试件进行高温试验,研究了单面受火和三面受火两种工况下温度在混凝土内部的传播以及分布规律。在试验的基础上采用大型通用软件ANSYS对混凝土试件内部的温度场进行了数值模拟,数值模拟结果与试验结果吻合较好。结果表明:混凝土单面受火或三面受火时,同时间下不同截面高度处的温度值不同,说明温度沿截面高度的传递存在时差;在两种受火工况下,当混凝土内部温度达到100℃时会出现温度平台,试件表面会伴随出现潮湿现象;两种受火工况下混凝土内部的温度随时间的增长规律类似,但是距受火面相同高度处的温度值不同。     

Effect of La3+ on the activities of antioxidant enzymes in wheat seedlings under lead stress in solution culture

In order to improve the plant ability to resist lead stress, effect of 0.05 mg/l La(NO₃)₃ on the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in wheat seedlings under lead stress was studied. The effect of La³⁺ on plant growth, chlorophyll content in wheat seedlings after adding 0, 50, 100 mg/l Pb(NO₃)₃ to the nutrient solution for 12 days was observed. The plants were grown in nutrient solution in a strictly controlled climate growth room. Effects of La³⁺ (with La treatment) compared with check groups was evidently observed. The activities of SOD and CAT in root were enhanced 0.45–1.69 times and 33.20–77.77% respectively and MDA content was reduced 11.05–27.49% in root after treatments from the second day till the end of the experiment. The activities of SOD and CAT was found to be increased slightly (P<0.05) and MDA content decreased in shoot and root of wheat seedlings by La³⁺ under lead stress within five days after treatments compared with Pb1 and Pb2 groups. It was assumed that antioxidant enzymes was found to be increased by La(NO₃)₃, the antioxidant potential of the wheat seedlings to resist lead stress enhanced. It is suggested that La³⁺ could be used to resist lead stress at the beginning under stress while the stress was not so serious.
