研究了葫芦岛锌厂周围不同群落生境蟋蟀汞含量,比较了蟋蟀与其它昆虫汞含量的差异,探讨了汞在不同群落蟋蟀体内的分布特征.结果表明,蟋蟀汞含量很高,平均值为0.081 mg.kg-1,远高于对照点群落汞含量(0.012 mg.kg-1);蟋蟀体内汞的分布特征为头>翅膀>胸≈腹>足.不同群落生境中蟋蟀汞含量差异明显,蟋蟀汞含量与距离污染源的远近、植物茎汞存在显著的相关关系.与土壤汞之间无明显的相关关系.蟋蟀汞含量低于生命周期较长的蝉汞含量,与生命周期较短的其它昆虫相近.     

Antioxidant responses to benzo[a]pyrene, tributyltin and their mixture in the spleen of Sebasticus marmoratus

It has been reported that there is an interaction between Benzo[a]pyrene （BaP）, a widespread carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and tributyltin （TBT）, an organometal used as an antifouling biocide. This study was therefore designed to examine the potential in vivo influence of BaP, TBT and their mixture on splenic antioxidant defense systems of Sebastiscus marmoratus. The fish were exposed to water containing environmentally relevant concentrations of BaP, TBT and their mixture. Spleens were collected for biochemical analysis after exposure for 7, 25, 50 d and after recovery for 7, 20 d. Cotreatment with BaP and TBT for 7 d potentiated the induction of glutathione peroxidase （GPx） activity by BaP or TBT alone. The cotreatment for 25 and 50 d resulted in inhibition of GPx activity, which was similar to the effect of TBT. Splenic glutathione S-transferase （GST） activities were significantly elevated in S. marmoratus exposed to BaP starting from 7 d and remained high up to 25 d. However, no further activity change was found with prolonged exposure. Cotreatment of BaP and TBT primarily inhibited the GST activity, which was similar to the effect of TBT. Cotreatment with BaP and TBT for 25 or 50 d potentiated the depletion of GSH （glutathione） by BaP or TBT alone. MDA （malondialdehyde） contents in spleen of S. marmoratus were not significantly altered compared with the control during the test period. Spleen, as an immune organ, is sensitive to exposure of BaP or TBT. It should have an effective mechanism to counteract oxidative damage. Antioxidative defense systems in spleen of S. marmoratus should be considered as potential biomarkers. Short-term exposure of BaP or TBT could result in induction of antioxidant defense system. A significant decrease of these indices, such as GSH, GST, GPx might indicate more severe contamination.     

荔枝花雄蕊和雌蕊发育过程中碳氮化合物的动态变化

比较分析了荔枝花性决定中碳氮化合物的动态变化。结果发现：C/N较大有利于雄蕊分化,反之则有利于雌蕊分化;氨基酸含量较高有利于雌蕊分化,雄蕊的氨基酸含量仅为雌蕊的一半。脯氨酸与花粉育性存在着密切相关关系。另外,探讨了雌蕊或雄蕊败育的生理意义,在长期的进化中,败育的雌蕊或雄蕊“废物”重新被利用,为同一花中迅速发育的雌蕊或雄蕊提供能量和物质的需求,表5参13。     

源于大气的氟在水稻不同器官的分布及对糙米含氟量的影响

用开顶式熏气罩熏气的方法,研究了气源氟在水稻不同器官的分布及对糙米含氟量的影响。结果表明:气源氟主要分布于水稻叶片中,根含氟量不受气源氟的影响;籽粒含氟量取决于籽粒器官形成后空气氟浓度,与籽粒器官形成前的空气氟浓度无关;糙米氟含量与水稻抽穗齐穗后所暴露的氟剂量间呈极显著线性相关关系。     

多环芳烃在水稻植株中的分布

采集了天津东丽区幼穗期、蜡熟期和枯熟期的水稻植株样品,研究了多环芳烃在其不同器官中的分布.研究结果表明,水稻根中PAH15含量在幼穗期之后不断增加,至枯熟期达到土壤浓度的3倍.茎叶中PAH15含量则从幼穗期到枯熟期呈现逐渐下降的一般趋势,且穗梗含量高于稻茎,第一叶含量高于下叶.水稻籽实成熟期间生物量迅速增加,其增速高于PAH15累积,这样的稀释作用造成表观浓度的下降.水稻地上部分各器官PAH15含量与脂含量之间具有显著的正相关关系.图5参12     

火箭推进剂单推-Ⅲ对大鼠肝、肾的毒性效应

为探讨新型火箭推进剂单推-Ⅲ(主成分为肼)对大鼠肝、肾的毒性效应及其作用机制,将24只雄性Wistar大鼠随机分为4组:生理盐水对照组,低剂量组、中剂量组和高剂量组,采用灌胃方式染毒,单次染毒剂量分别为0、0.70、2.35、7.05mg·kg-1(以单推-Ⅲ中的肼计算),每天1次,连续染毒7d,眼眶静脉丛取血后腹主动脉放血处死大鼠,称肝、肾重量计算肝、肾的脏器系数,测定大鼠血清中反映肝、肾功能的生化指标,并对肝、肾进行病理学观察.结果表明,1)单推-Ⅲ染毒可导致大鼠出现后肢运动障碍,并显著提高大鼠肝、肾脏器系数及血糖水平;2)病理学观察发现,单推-Ⅲ染毒可导致大鼠肝脏灶性及汇管区少量炎症细胞浸润,肝细胞脂肪变性,肾脏则无明显改变;3)单推-Ⅲ染毒可导致大鼠肝功能异常,部分肝功能指标如谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、直接胆红素(D-BIL)等出现显著升高或降低;4)单推-Ⅲ染毒可导致大鼠肾功能异常,部分肾功能指标如尿素氮(BUN)、尿酸(UA)、肌酐(CREA)等出现显著升高或降低.综合以上实验结果可以看出火箭推进剂单推-Ⅲ对大鼠肝、肾组织可产生一定的毒性效应,并可造成一定程度的中枢神经损伤。     

麻黄碱在斑马鱼体内的器官特异性蓄积及毒代动力学

麻黄碱（ephedrine,EPH）是一种生物碱,用于减轻感冒、过敏性鼻炎、鼻炎及鼻窦炎引起的鼻充血症状,控制支气管哮喘等,同时还是制造毒品冰毒的原料.EPH已经在地表水中广泛检出,并可能对水生生物甚至生态系统产生不利影响.但目前,EPH在水生生物中的摄取、器官分配和毒代动力学过程还没有受到关注.本研究中将斑马鱼（Danio rerio）在半静态系统中暴露于EPH,研究斑马鱼的不同器官对EPH的吸收、蓄积以及EPH在斑马鱼体内的毒物代动力学.暴露浓度分别为0.01、1.00和100.00 μg·L^-1,暴露14 d后,在斑马鱼脑、肝、肠、卵巢及肌肉中均检测到EPH,高浓度组斑马鱼脑中EPH最高达到84.97 ng·g^-1;EPH的平均含量的相对大小遵循以下顺序：脑 > 卵巢 > 肝 >肠 > 肌肉.斑马鱼器官中的麻黄碱的摄取速率常数（K_u）为0.23~570.31 L·（kg·d）^-1,消除速率常数（K_e）为1.22~6.11 d^-1,半衰期为0.12~0.57 d.观察到的生物富集系数（BCF_o）和动力学来源的生物富集系数（BCF_k）范围分别为0.24~337.33 L·kg^-1和0.13~316.43 L·kg^-1,处于相同的水平.     

Preliminary shotgun glycoproteome analysis of N-glycosylation sites in serum proteins of ricin-intoxicated rats

In this study, the variations of serum glycoproteins after exposure to ricin toxin (RT) in Wistar albino rats are reported. For glycopeptide enrichment, Microcon YM-3 centrifugal filter device capture and micro-liquid chromatography (LC)–electrospray ionization (ESI)–tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) analysis were used; 74 trypsin-digested proteins were identified in the control group, and 58 in the RT-intoxication group. Additionally, 33 N-glycosides and 14 glycoproteins were identified in the control, and 50 and 21 in the RT-intoxication group.     

钐染毒对小鼠脏器系数和睾丸酶活性的影响

为了研究稀土元素钐对雄性小鼠脏器系数和睾丸内酶活性的影响,将小鼠分组分别自由饮用含硝酸钐0,4,20,100,500mg/L的水,3个月后处死小鼠,称量体重和主要脏器重量,并测定睾丸内乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、酸性磷酸酶(ACP)、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)和三磷酸腺苷酶(ATP酶)活力.结果表明,20,100mg/L剂量组小鼠附睾脏器系数明显低于对照组;100,500mg/L剂量组LDH酶活力明显受到抑制,且染毒剂量与LDH酶活力呈剂量-反应关系;各处理组ALP酶活力明显升高,而ACP酶活力不受影响;3种ATP酶活力都随钐浓度的增加有“低促高抑”的趋势.钐亚慢性染毒对小鼠生殖性腺具有一定的毒性作用,其中LDH和ALP可作为稀土元素钐作用于睾丸的标志酶.     

Conceiving a fetus for bone marrow donation: An ethical problem in prenatal diagnosis

We present a family who sought prenatal diagnosis in order to bear a healthy child to serve as an HLA–identical bone marrow donor for their son affected with Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome. They intended to abort HLA-incompatible fetuses who would have been unsuitable bone marrow donors. This case led us to conclude that prenatal diagnosis should not be used to benefit a third party or facilitate the conception or abortion of a fetus for the purpose of generating an organ for transplantation. The limits of parental autonomy and physician responsibility are discussed.
