Selective effects of fenitrothion on murine splenic T-lymphocyte populations and cytokine/granzyme production

The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro effects of fenitrothion (FNT) on mouse splenic lymphocytes. Here, naïve mice had their spleens harvested and splenocytes isolated. After exposure to FNT for 48 hr: splenocyte viability was measured using a tetrazolium dye assay; cell phenotypes, i.e., B-cells (CD19⁺), T-cells (CD3⁺), and T-cell subsets (CD4⁺ and CD8⁺), were quantified by flow cytometry; and, production of cytokines/granzyme-B was assessed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The ability for FNT to induce oxidative stress in the cells was evaluated by measuring hydroxyl radical (·OH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) production and changes in glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The results showed that FNT significantly inhibited splenocyte proliferation, and decreased production of interleukin (IL)-2, interferon gamma, IL-4, and granzyme B, but had no impact on IL-6 production. FNT also selectively decreased splenic T-cell levels but did not induce changes in CD19⁺ B-cells. Further, within the T-cell populations, percentages of CD3⁺, CD4⁺, and CD8⁺ T-cells (particularly CD8⁺ T-cells) were reduced. Lastly, FNT selectively increased MDA and ·OH production and inhibited SOD and GSH-Px activities in the splenic lymphocytes. These findings suggest that, due to oxidative damage, FNT selectively inhibits splenic T-lymphocyte survival and cytokine/granzyme production in vitro.

川江流域的土壤退化与防治

川江流域地区土壤退化按肥力因素分类，并以专家系统确定的指标分类统计表明：土壤物理性退化中以水分不调、过砂和板结化较严重；土壤结构性退化中，以土层浅薄化较显著；土壤营养性退化中，以缺硼、钼、磷较突出，成因主要是生态脆弱、土壤侵蚀作用和过渡开发利用，据此提出了防治退化的基本措施。并从持续发展角度提出了适应该区土壤退化特点的持续农业系统。

上海工业街坊噪声对职工健康影响的研究和对策

作者对上海工业街坊固定源和流动源噪声进行了调查和测试,取得了大量的数据,找出了工业街坊中主要噪声源和噪声级的变化范围,提出了大城市工业区域噪声评价的方法并进行评价,得出各工业街坊噪声污染指数与评价等级。文章将处于此噪声等级下的职业工人和居民的职业病与人体健康状况,进行了特异性损伤与非特异性损伤的分析,并重点研究了纺织业等工业噪声对职工健康的影响。文章最后就工业街坊噪声污染治理对策,提出了合理工业布局和建立低噪声工业街坊的必要性。     

攀枝花市空气监测优化布设的方法

在分散成若干片区、地形复杂的工业城市进行空气监测优化布设时,应先确定测点所在的片区。优化时必须考虑地形和气象特点、污染源的分布和片区的功能特征。再根据片区内主要污染物及源分布确定决策团子。优化时再考虑片区内的污染气象条件,采用适当的空气扩散模式和动态模拟的方法。经过夏、秋两季实测结果证明,优化的测点代表性良好。
