滨海地带地下水面与咸淡水界面伴随潮汐变化规律的研究(Ⅱ)数值仿真模拟的咸淡水界面伴随着潮汐波动的变化规律

采用二维数值仿真的手法,系统的探讨了存在于非平坦的不透水层上的海岸带含水层的天然地下水面、咸淡水界面伴随着潮汐波动而变化的规律.即伴随着潮汐的波动,天然地下水面和咸淡水界面振动的振幅及其之间的相位差的大小不但与不透水层的形状有关,而且还与天然地下水面的水力坡度、含水层的渗透系数及不透水层形状变动的幅度有关.     

Cell wall surface layer (S-layer) promotes colony formation in Microcystis: comparison of S-layer characteristics between colonial and unicellular forms of Microcystis and function conformation

Colony is a key to Microcystis becoming a dominant population and forming blooms. To find the mechanism of colony formation, we investigated cell wall structures of colonial and unicellular strains. Results showed that colonial strains had significant surface layer protein (S-layer) on the surface of cells than unicellular strains by transmission electron microscopy. Western blot showed colonial strains had more S-layer than the unicellular strains. When the S-layer gene (GenBank accession number CAO89090.1) of Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806 was expressed in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, PCC6803 aggregated into colonial morphology. The results indicated that the S-layer could promote colony formation in Microcystis. Based on the S-layer sequences of PCC6803 and PCC7806, nine S-layer genes in other Microcystis strains were screened from the GenBank. Sequence comparing showed that the S-layers conserved regions were all located in N-terminal. The S-layers contain repeats-in-toxin (RTX) sequences with Ca²⁺-binding site, and their amino acid composition, hydrophobicity, isoelectric point, etc. were consistent with the characteristics of RTX-type S-layer in bacteria.

     

长江中下游地区冬小麦春季涝渍害灾损风险时空分布特征

通过长江中下游地区1961~2010年（3~5月）逐日气象资料，利用冬小麦春季涝渍害的监测指数模型和灾损风险评估模型进行历史反演，分析了春季涝渍害的发生和灾损风险区划的时空分布特征。结果表明：长江中下游地区冬小麦春季涝渍害频发于沿江及以南地区，且30%以上年份造成冬小麦减产。冬小麦春季涝渍害灾损风险空间分布特征明显、南高北低，年代际变化显著。其中，10 a尺度下以1960年代涝渍害灾损高风险范围最大，分布在鄂东、安徽的淮河以南及江苏的江淮西部地区，其次是1970年代和1990年代，2000年代高风险区范围最小，仅零星分布在江南局部地区；30 a尺度下各年代际涝渍害灾损风险呈高值区南缩减小、低值区逐渐扩大的趋势。     

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.     

Spatial and temporal variations of PAHs in surface sediments of estuarine and coast of CanGio wetland,Vietnam

Surface sediments from estuarine and coast of CanGio wetland (CGW) of Hochiminh City, Vietnam, were investigated to identify the spatial and temporal variations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The total PAHs showed wide variation but similar to patterns observed (F?=?0.901, p?=?0.46) in LongTau (31?±?77 ng/g dry weight, n?=?13), SoaiRap (53?±?81, n?=?4), ThiVai (60?±?62, n?=?10) estuaries, and coastal areas (112?±?211, n?=?9). A decreasing trend in the wet season (F?=?8.8, p?=?0.01) reflected that inland sources such as wastewater discharged and atmospherically transported contaminants contributed to PAHs in sediments. The risk posed by the PAHs in the coastal and estuarine areas of CGW is still negligible. The present study provides baseline data, which can be used for regular monitoring and future strategy of environmental protection for the study area.

海平面上升及其带来的资源与环境问题

海平面上升及其带来的资源与环境问题是目前全球环境变化研究的核心问题之一。海平面上升分全球性理论海平面上升及区域相对海平面上升两类,前者与温室效应导致的海水表层受热膨胀、大陆高山及格陵兰地区冰川融化有关,后者更多起因于局部自然或人为造成的地面沉降及其他相关因素。研究海平面上升机理、过程,制定切实预防、预测措施,应引起广泛的社会关注。
