Serum PAPP-A measurements in first-trimester screening for Down syndrome

Serum PAPP-A measurements taken from 254 women in the first trimester are reported. Eleven chromosomal abnormalities were detected. The mean serum PAPP-A levels in cases of Down syndrome were 0.44 MOM at 9 weeks gestation, 0.15 MOM at 10 weeks, and 0.29 MOM at 11 weeks. The PAPP-A level at 10 weeks was below those of pregnancies which aborted spontaneously. At 11 weeks, the pregnancies with Down syndrome recorded the lowest PAPP-A levels at that gestation. On this small sample, offering chorionic villus sampling to women with singleton pregnancies and a PAPP-A level below 0.3 MOM (approximately 6.5 per cent of this at-risk group) would have detected all the Down syndrome fetuses at 10 weeks and 50 per cent at 11 weeks without selecting those cases destined to abort. This suggests that serum PAPP-A should continue to be investigated as a potential first-trimester screening test for Down syndrome.     

城市生活垃圾堆肥动态工艺 DANO 的研究

研究了DANO式动态堆肥工艺处理我国城市生活垃圾的主要参数。结果表明,对有机物含量为50％～60％的堆料,初步稳定化时间为3～4日,耗氧速率每分钟为0.1％～0.2％,温度高于50℃;达到完全稳定化,所需时间为14～15日,具体数值与堆料特性有关。有机物含量低于40％的堆料,则不宜以本工艺处理。     

Petroleum waste biodegradation with porous biomass support system (PBSS) on rotating biological contactor

A laboratory scale study was conducted to assess the feasibility of the new coupling of rotating biological contactor (RBC) plus porous biomass support system (PBSS) using polyurethane foam as porous support media to biodegrade petroleum refinery wastewater. Polyurethane foam was attached on disks of two four-stage laboratory scale cascade connected RBC units.The two RBC units were operated simultaneously at different but constant, flowrates giving hydraulic loading rates of 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 m3/m2/d in two runs keeping the same rotational speed 10 r/min throughout. Organic loading was a less controllable factor in this study.For all of the hydraulic loadings, it was found that the removal efficiency of total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) and oil were above 80 percent. Ammonia nitrogen and phenol removal were above 90 and 80 percent respectively. The maximum biomass concentration within polyurethane foam was about 30 g/m2 in the first stage for 0.03 m3/m2/d hydraulic loading.The results show that t     

电场耦合高效液相色谱柱改善极性芳烃分离的研究

从燃烧的煤和油中排放出来的极性污染物,包含有多种含氮、氧和硫的极性多环芳烃(PAH),这些极性组分比非极性组分常具有更强的致癌和致突变性。目前,正相高效液相色谱(NP-HPLC)常被用来分离分析这类极性组分。 但是,要提高这些极性组分分离的选择性,现大多采用梯度洗脱的方法。也就是改变流动相极性的方法。本文介绍了一种高压电场耦合色谱柱的新方法。这种技术除了具     

扬子地体船山组碳酸盐岩中的核形石

扬子地体上石炭统船山组内核形石极为丰富,按照内部结构和构造可分五种纹层类型、二种壳层构造和四种核心结构。核形石并非过去所认为的单一的“葛万藻核形石”,而可以根据形态和壳层中的生物组合划分为十种基本类型,其沉积环境有滩、潮下低能带和泻湖等。 石炭纪晚期,由于全球的气候发生强烈分异,从而在低纬度地区产生大量分泌粘液的缠绕生物(藻类为主),核形石就是由这种缠绕生物捕集沉积质点围绕核心而成,其形成过程有四个阶段—核心形成阶段,壳层形成阶段、沉积搬运阶段和成岩后生阶段。 在成岩后生阶段,核形石岩可以产生大量的核间和核内溶孔,这对于油气、矿液的储集和运移是十分有利的。     

土地资源承载力若干问题浅析

本文就当前土地资源承载力研究中所遇到的若干问题,从土地资源承载力定义的理解、土地生产力的计算、单产预测、土地资源评价和土地利用结构调整等5个方面进行了探讨。 如何定义和理解土地资源人口承载力是进行这项研究的关键。以研究土地资源人口承载力为目的的土地资源评价是进行土地生产力计算和土地利用结构调整必不可少的基础。根据统计资料预测的作物单产,不能反映出土地生产力,而使用农业生态地带法计算作物单产目前也存在着一些问题。

热带假丝酵母314号固定化细胞分解苯酚的研究

1.比较了三种生长培养基对热带假丝酵母314号细胞分解苯酚活力的影响。在以苯酚为碳源的培养基中生长的细胞酶活力较高,125mg湿细胞一小时可分解苯酚5425.8μg。用3.0%的琼脂固定化后,固定化细胞酶的相对活力为44.4%。诱导能显著地提高固定化细胞的酶活力,最适的诱导时间为12—18个小时。 2.比较了固定化细胞和自然细胞的某些性质。两种细胞反应的最适温度均为37℃;反应的pH范围均在3.5—11之间;固定化细胞热稳定性稍差;Cu~(2 )和Zn~(2 )对自然细胞的活性有一定抑制作用;CN-明显抑制两种细胞酶活力。 3.固定化细胞装柱后连续处理浓度约为150ppm的苯酚溶液,20天内的出水酚浓度平均为0.29ppm,在此条件下固定化细胞的半衰期为11天。 4.连续处理苯酚过程中,固定化细胞所丧失的酶活力可以通过再培养得到恢复。
