Effects of 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) on neuronal and muscular development in zebrafish (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Danio rerio</Emphasis>) embryos

The negative effects of overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in humans, including sunburn and light-induced cellular injury, are of increasing public concern. 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC), an organic chemical UV filter, is an active ingredient in sunscreen products. To date, little information is available about its neurotoxicity during early vertebrate development. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to various concentrations of 4-MBC in embryo medium for 3 days. In this study, a high concentration of 4-MBC, which is not being expected at the current environmental concentrations in the environment, was used for the purpose of phenotypic screening. Embryos exposed to 15 μM of 4-MBC displayed abnormal axial curvature and exhibited impaired motility. Exposure effects were found to be greatest during the segmentation period, when somite formation and innervation occur. Immunostaining of the muscle and axon markers F59, znp1, and zn5 revealed that 4-MBC exposure leads to a disorganized pattern of slow muscle fibers and axon pathfinding errors during the innervation of both primary and secondary motor neurons. Our results also showed reduction in AChE activity upon 4-MBC exposure both in vivo in the embryos (15 μM) and in vitro in mammalian Neuro-2A cells (0.1 μM), providing a possible mechanism for 4-MBC-induced muscular and neuronal defects. Taken together, our results have shown that 4-MBC is a teratogen and influences muscular and neuronal development, which may result in developmental defects.     

Mechanistic and kinetic study on the ozonolysis of n-butyl vinyl ether, i-butyl vinyl ether and t-butyl vinyl ether

Density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio method are employed to elucidate the mechanisms for O(3)-initiated oxidation of n-butyl vinyl ether (n-BVE) and its isomers (i-BVE and t-BVE). For each BVE, the reactions proceed via O(3) cycloaddition resulting in the formation of primary ozonides (POZs) and then two self-decomposition pathways of POZs are followed. Major products are identified to be formaldehyde and butyl formates (CH(3)CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)OCHO for n-BVE, (CH(3))(2)CHCH(2)OCHO for i-BVE and (CH(3))(3)COCHO for t-BVE). The total and individual rate constants for main product channels have been calculated using the modified multichannel Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) approach. At 298 K and 101 kPa, the calculated total rate constants are 2.50×10(-16), 3.41×10(-16) and 4.17×10(-16) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) for n-BVE+O(3), i-BVE+O(3) and t-BVE+O(3), respectively, which are in perfect agreement with experimental results. The total rate coefficients are almost pressure independent in the range of 0.001-101 kPa but obviously positive temperature dependent over the whole study temperature range (200-400 K). Also, the favorable reaction pathways have been determined through the estimation of branching ratios. Moreover, the influence of alkoxy group structure on the reactivity of vinyl ethers was examined.     

营养限制对厌氧序批操作反应器的影响及其恢复重建过程

研究了在厌氧条件下以葡萄糖为基质的序批操作反应器(ASBR)中营养物浓度限制对基质吸收和储存的影响及其恢复重建过程。结果表明,营养物限制条件下,发酵细菌表现为过量吸收基质并储存为糖原,形成隐性增殖以维持其细胞的正常结构和代谢功能;而甲烷菌由于无储存能力,其表现为活性逐渐降低。短期营养限制条件下(1个周期),基质中无磷时,储存量增加29%;基质中无氮时,储存量增加90%;基质中既无氮也无磷时,储存量增加26%。长期(31个周期)营养限制(基质中氮磷含量减小50%)下,胞内储存糖原量可高达正常状态下的4.8倍,但甲烷活性减少为正常状态下的17.78%。营养物限制对发酵细菌影响较小,对甲烷菌影响较大。将氮磷浓度恢复正常后,反应器的产甲烷能力恢复较快,出水COD经31周期后恢复正常,而胞内糖原在85周期后恢复正常。     

序批式生物膜反应器处理农村生活污水的填料对比研究

选用4种填料进行序批式生物膜反应器(SBBR)处理农村生活污水的研究,通过出水COD、NH4+-N等指标的测定以及生物膜的扫描电镜观察,考察了运用不同填料时SBBR的污染物去除情况和生物膜的长势,以期筛选出适用于农村生活污水处理的填料。结果表明,3#、4#SBBR(分别选用组合填料和碳素纤维填料)的DO、pH波动幅度均相对较小,比1#、2#SBBR(分别选用立体网状填料及海绵填料)更加稳定;4#SBBR的COD去除效果最好,水力停留时间仅需5h,3#SBBR的COD去除效果其次,所需水力停留时间为6h,而1#、2#SBBR在运行8h时也无法将COD完全消化;3#、4#SBBR出水的NH4+-N、TN去除效果均高于1#、2#SBBR;采用4种填料的SBBR的生物膜长势优劣情况为碳素纤维填料>组合填料>海绵填料>立体网状填料;碳素纤维填料及组合填料在受到进水负荷冲击后,能相对较快适应环境,且填料上的微生物活性较高,较适合运用于中国农村生活污水的处理。     

零价铁修复受三氯乙烯污染地下水的实验研究

通过批实验和柱实验研究了三氯乙烯（TCE）初始浓度、四氯乙烯(PCE)等对零价铁去除三氯乙烯的影响,并建立了三氯乙烯降解的反应动力学方程。结果表明：（1）零价铁对TCE具有较好的降解效果,反应符合准一级反应动力学方程,表观反应速率常数随TCE浓度的增加而减小;（2）在铁粉充足的条件下,TCE初始浓度对降解效果影响不显著,且TCE去除率皆可达到90%以上;（3）PCE的存在抑制了TCE的脱氯反应。PCE和TCE共存时,TCE的最大去除率仅为64.2%;TCE脱氯反应的表观反应速率明显降低,反应半衰期由TCE单独存在时的6.8～9.7 h增大到66 h～346.5 h。     

厌氧条件下序批操作与连续操作对基质利用的影响

研究了在厌氧条件下以葡萄糖为基质的序批操作与连续操作反应器中微生物利用基质的不同途径。结果表明,在连续操作中,反应器内的VFA及污泥中的糖原含量保持不变,葡萄糖被用于产生甲烷和微生物增殖,两者分别占进水COD的79.34%和20.62%。在序批操作中,当进水结束时,50.17%的葡萄糖被转化为糖原储存于细胞体内,反应器内的VFA、产生的甲烷及微生物增殖分别占进水COD的25.05%、11.56%和13.22%;当反应结束时,葡萄糖转化为甲烷和微生物细胞的部分分别占进水COD的78.13%和20.6%,积累的VFA及储存的糖原被微生物代谢。两种不同操作模式下葡萄糖的代谢途径不同,序批式反应器中由于糖原储存的存在,减缓了VFA的积累,为厌氧系统的高效、稳定运行提供了保证。     

纯二氧化碳条件下小球藻固定CO2

微藻固碳已经成为消减温室气体排放的新的研究热点。利用静态吸收方法,考查了通人纯CO2对普通小球藻生长特点、固定CO2效率以及藻液pH值变异的影响。结果表明：通入纯CO2使小球藻生长延滞期显著延长,比普通培养延长10～12d,对其他生长阶段的影响不大;小球藻固定CO2速率可分为2个过程,即物理固碳过程和生物固碳过程,前者在藻细胞延滞期发生,峰值由CO。溶解于培养液造成,后者在藻细胞生长的指数期、稳定期和衰退期发生,峰值由藻细胞指数生长造成,2个过程中,固定CO2速率的变化趋势都是先增大后降低;纯CO2条件下,藻液pH值变化速率高,4d内,藻液即被酸化,随后藻液pH值变化速率逐渐降低,且pH值稳定在适宜水平。因此,采用小球藻固定高浓度CO2时,建议提高接种量并加强培养前期的pH值监测和调控,以保证藻液保持适宜的pH值,并缩短培养时间,提高生物固碳效率。
