不同油类对虾蟹类幼体的胁迫效应

了解不同油类对虾蟹类幼体的急性毒性效应。曝油处理采用磁力搅拌器搅拌,一定时间的超声波乳化等操作,模拟溢油在海洋中风浪、涡动、湍流的乳化过程;设置阶梯浓度组,并在多个平行组急性试验的基础上,估算出8种油品对2种虾类和2种蟹类的半致死质量浓度LC50和安全质量浓度MPC,并运用程序编制溢油质量浓度与虾蟹类死亡率相关性的估算模型。经过分析,结果得到:各MPC值参差不齐,差距较大;燃料油普遍比原油的毒性效应大;相同生长阶段,蟹类比虾类抗油毒害性强、中国明对虾Fenneropenaeus chinensis比日本囊对虾Marsupenaeus japonicus抗油毒害性强、锯缘青蟹Scylla serrata比三疣梭子蟹Portunus trituberculatu抗油毒害性强。编制的溢油质量浓度与死亡率相关性的评估模型,简易方便直观,为渔业污染事故理赔提供了一定的参考价值,亦为海域的生态经济学评估提供了一种新的研究方法。     

软脂酸和硬脂酸对铜绿微囊藻生长的抑制作用

研究了软脂酸和硬脂酸对产毒铜绿微囊藻Microcystis aeruginosa生长的抑制效应,比较了长链饱和脂肪酸抑藻的构效关系。选用的藻种是购于中国科学院水生生物研究所的产毒铜绿微囊藻Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB-912,且实验藻种处于对数生长期。软脂酸和硬脂酸在藻液中的4种最终质量浓度为：30、60、90和120mg·L-1。实验周期为6d,每天定时定量取藻液,测量A（650nm）,叶绿素a含量,藻蓝蛋白含量。实验结束后,采用SPSS（13.0版本）软件和DPS（7.05版本）分析加入这2种脂肪酸的藻液的3个指标与空白对照之间的差异显著性。结果表明,2种饱和脂肪酸的4种质量浓度对产毒铜绿微囊藻均有显著的抑制作用,浓度越大,抑藻效果越明显。其中,2种饱和脂肪酸在相同浓度的条件下,软脂酸比硬脂酸的抑制作用要明显。实验技术方面有2个创新点：①因为长链饱和脂肪酸无法溶于蒸馏水,实验采用乙醇来溶解脂肪酸。②因为溶于乙醇的长链饱和脂肪酸溶液无法用高压灭菌锅灭菌,实验采用微孔滤膜对脂肪酸溶液进行灭菌。     

江浙沪地区历史重大洪涝灾害情景下的人口和GDP物理暴露量分析

利用江浙沪地区1644～1949年洪涝灾害数据库,基于年受灾县次,对该地区历史重大洪涝灾害年进行了辨识,并以历史重大洪涝灾害为情景,对其重现于2010年的人口和GDP物理暴露量进行分析,得到以下结论：(1）按受灾县次划分,1644～1949年江浙沪地区重大洪涝灾害频率在50～100年一遇的为1670年、1683年、1804年;100～300年一遇的为1823年、1849年;300年一遇的为1931年;（2）重大洪涝灾害暴露区主要集中于长江三角洲地区;（3）6次重大洪涝灾害情景下,人口物理暴露量基本超过2010年该区人口总量的40%,而GDP物理暴露量则几乎超过了其总量的50%;（4）江苏受灾最为明显,上海受灾幅度波动最大,尤其是在100年一遇洪涝灾害前后受灾影响差距很大,浙江受灾影响相对稳定;（5）该区人口、GDP物理暴露量并不一定与受灾县次呈典型的正相关关系,可能与其人口、经济分布格局等因素有关     

Maternal exposure to high levels of dioxins in relation to birth weight in women affected by Yusho disease

Background

Studies on the association of maternal exposure to polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) with decreased birth weight in humans have produced conflicting results. In Japan in 1968, an accidental human exposure to rice oil contaminated with PCDDs, PCDFs, and PCBs, led to the development of Yusho disease.

Objective

The Yusho cohort was used to evaluate the effect of maternal exposure to PCDDs, PCDFs, and PCBs on birth weight.

Methods

Blood samples, obtained from 101 Yusho women (190 births) who gave birth after exposure, were analyzed for congeners of seven PCDDs, ten PCDFs, and four non-ortho PCBs.

Results

Total PCDD TEQ (adjusted beta = − 161.9 g; 95% CI, −265.3 to − 58.6), total PCDF TEQ (adjusted beta = − 105.9 g; 95% CI, −179.5 to − 32.2), and total non-ortho PCBs (adjusted beta = − 178.4 g; 95% CI, −318.3 to − 38.5) levels were inversely associated with birth weight. Significant inverse associations with birth weight were also found for total PCDD TEQ, total PCDF TEQ, and total non-ortho PCB TEQ levels among male, but not female, infants. Significant inverse associations with birth weight were also found for nine congeners among all infants; the adjusted beta coefficients were largest for 1,2,3,6,7,8-HxCDD and smallest for 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF.

Conclusion

In the setting of exposure to high levels of dioxins, maternal blood levels of PCDDs, PCDFs and PCBs are associated with lower birth weight in Yusho patients. The association exhibited gender-specific differences, as male infants are more susceptible than females to growth restriction induced by in utero dioxin exposures.     

低浓度甲醛和PM2.5联合暴露对哮喘小鼠的影响

为探究低浓度甲醛（FA）单独及与PM_2.5联合暴露对哮喘小鼠的影响,选取70只雄性Balb/c小鼠,随机分为5组,分别为：对照组、卵清蛋白（OVA）组、FA+OVA组、PM_2.5+OVA组、FA+PM_2.5+OVA组,每组14只,其中6只进行气道高反应性（AHR）检测,其余8只用于检测血清T-IgE、肺泡灌洗液（BALF）中IFN-γ、IL-4以及肺组织中活性氧（ROS）、丙二醛（MDA）的含量,并对BALF中炎症细胞进行计数.同时对小鼠肺组织进行H&E染色以及p-p38MAPK和p-p65NF-κB免疫组化分析.结果显示,与OVA组相比,0.5mg/m³FA单独暴露组哮喘小鼠肺部MDA水平显著升高（P<0.001）,肺部炎症细胞呈现上升趋势（P>0.05）,0.5mg/m³FA和0.5mg/kg PM_2.5联合暴露组哮喘小鼠肺部炎症显著加重（P<0.05或P<0.01）,肺功能减弱（P<0.01）,肺部氧化应激水平以及p38MAPK和NF-κB的磷酸化水平均显著升高（P<0.05或P<0.001）,Th2型细胞因子释放显著增加（P<0.01）.因此,低浓度FA单独暴露会加重哮喘小鼠肺部损伤而非抑制,并且可进一步促进PM_2.5对哮喘小鼠肺部的损伤,即低浓度FA和PM_2.5联合暴露会对哮喘小鼠肺部造成严重损害,这可能与ROS介导的p38MAPK途径加剧Th1/Th2型免疫反应失衡有关.

Role of nitric oxide in the genotoxic response to chronic microcystin-LR exposure in human–hamster hybrid cells

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is the most abundant and toxic microcystin congener and has been classified as a potential human carcinogen (Group 2B) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying the genotoxic effects of MC-LR during chronic exposure are still poorly understood. In the present study, human–hamster hybrid (A_L) cells were exposed to MC-LR for varying lengths of time to investigate the role of nitrogen radicals in MC-LR-induced genotoxicity. The mutagenic potential at the CD59 locus was more than 2-fold higher (p < 0.01) in A_L cells exposed to a cytotoxic concentration (1 μmol/L) of MC-LR for 30 days than in untreated control cells, which was consistent with the formation of micronucleus. MC-LR caused a dose-dependent increase in nitric oxide (NO) production in treated cells. Moreover, this was blocked by concurrent treatment with the NO synthase inhibitor N^G-methyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA), which suppressed MC-LR-induced mutations as well. The survival of mitochondrial DNA-depleted (ρ⁰) A_L cells was markedly decreased by MC-LR treatment compared to that in A_L cells, while the CD59 mutant fraction was unaltered. These results provided clear evidence that the genotoxicity associated with chronic MC-LR exposure in mammalian cells was mediated by NO and might be considered as a basis for the development of therapeutics that prevent carcinogenesis.     

深圳大气颗粒物中卤代多环芳烃污染研究

利用GC-MS方法分析了卤代多环芳烃在深圳市大气颗粒物(PM10和PM2.5)中的含量水平.所关注的9种卤代多环芳烃在PM10和PM2.5中的含量范围分别是118~1 476 pg·m-3和89~407 pg·m-3.在PM10和PM2.5样品中,9-Br Ant的含量水平最高,其次是7-Br Ba A和9,10-Br2Ant.深圳市大气PM10和PM2.5中卤代多环芳烃总含量水平表现出冬季秋季春季夏季的季节变化规律,但是各卤代多环芳烃单体含量水平的季节变化特征不同.温度、降水量和相对湿度等气象条件可能是影响大气PM10和PM2.5中卤代多环芳烃含量水平季节变化特征的重要因素.此外,PM10和PM2.5中卤代多环芳烃的含量水平与母体多环芳烃之间存在显著的相关关系.最后,本研究估算了卤代多环芳烃的毒性当量,大气PM10和PM2.5中卤代多环芳烃的毒性当量变化范围分别是17.6~86.2 pg·m-3和14.6~70.4 pg·m-3.其中,7-Br Ba A对卤代多环芳烃总毒性当量的贡献最大.结果表明深圳市大气PM10和PM2.5中卤代多环芳烃的总毒性当量低于母体多环芳烃.
