Hybrid zeolite-based ion-exchange and sulfur oxidizing denitrification for advanced slaughterhouse wastewater treatment

The discharge of slau ghterhouse wastewater（SWW） is incre asing and its wastewater has to be treated thoroughly to avoid the eutrophication.The hybrid zeolite-based ion-exchange and sulfur autotrophic denitrification（IX-AD） process was developed to advanced treat SWW after traditional secondary biological process.Compared with traditional sulfur oxidizing denitrification（SOD）,this study found that IX-AD column showed:（1） stronger ability to resist NO₃^-pollution load,（2） low...     

低浓度阿维菌素对鲤鱼超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）的影响(Effect of Low Concentration of Avermectins on Superoxide Dismutase （SOD）Activities in Common Carp)

研究了阿维菌素长期暴露下鲤鱼肝脏和肌肉超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性的动态变化.结果表明:阿维菌素对SOD活性具有较大影响.低浓度组(3.2μg·L-1)SOD活性随暴露时间无显著变化(p>0.05);中浓度组(5.6μg·L-1和7.5μg·L-1)SOD活性先显著上升(p<0.05),随后又显著下降(p<0.05);高浓度组(10μg·L-1和18μg·L-1)SOD活性呈逐渐下降趋势,48h后极显著低于对照(p<0.01).解除污染胁迫10d,低浓度和中浓度组SOD活性能恢复到正常水平,但高浓度组SOD活性不能恢复到正常水平,说明低浓度阿维菌素对鲤鱼机体产生的损伤是可逆性的,而高浓度阿维菌素会对鲤鱼机体产生不可逆损伤.阿维菌素暴露浓度与其对鲤鱼肝脏和肌肉SOD活性抑制率之间具有显著剂量-效应关系,可以考虑将其作为水体中阿维菌素类药物污染的生物标志物;同时,由于正常鲤鱼(对照组)肌肉中SOD活性和受污染胁迫时SOD活性变化的显著性远低于肝脏,因此在考虑用SOD作为生物标志物对水体中阿维菌素污染进行监测时,肝脏是比较理想的取样器官.     

Plant steroid hormones produced under Ni stress are involved in the regulation of metal uptake and oxidative stress in Brassica juncea L

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are involved in the amelioration of various biotic and abiotic stresses. With an aim to explore the role of BRs under heavy metal stress, plants of Brassica juncea L. were grown in pots. The plants were subjected to various concentrations of Nickel metal (0.0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mM) and harvested on 60th day in order to observe the expression of these hormones. The isolated BRs from the leaves of Brassica plants characterized by GC-MS include 24-Epibrassinolide (24-EBL), Castasterone, Dolicholide and Typhasterole. The effect of isolated 24-EBL was studied on Ni metal uptake and antioxidative defense system in 60 d old plants of Brassica. It was observed that 24-EBL significantly increased the activities of stress ameliorating enzymes and lowered the metal uptake in plants. This is the first report in B. juncea L. plants showing the expression of BRs under metal treatments and effect of the isolated 24-EBL on metal uptake and in oxidative stress management.     

Hydroxytyrosol, the phenolic compound of olive oil protects human PBMC against oxidative stress and DNA damage mediated by 2,3,7,8-TCDD

The protective effect of hydroxytyrosol (HT), a strong antioxidant compound from extra virgin olive oil, against TCDD induced toxicity was investigated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). PBMC (1 × 10⁶ cells mL⁻¹) were divided into four groups and were incubated in a CO₂ incubator (5% CO₂) for 12 h with vehicle, TCDD (10 nM), TCDD + HT (10 nM + 100 μM) and HT alone (100 μM) respectively. To clarify the role of HT against TCDD induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress and the levels of antioxidant enzymes were assessed. Incubation of PBMC with TCDD significantly decreased cell viability, catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) and oxidative stress markers such as lipid peroxidation products (LPO), protein carbonyl content (PCC) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Whereas, HT had an effective antioxidant property as observed by the increased cell viability, normalization of antioxidant enzymes and decreased levels of LPO, PCC and ROS in PBMC co-treated with HT and TCDD. Apoptosis detection and comet assay results shows that HT, by acting as an antioxidant, prevents the damage to DNA induced by TCDD. In addition light microscopic and histopathological observations revealed that the cells are apoptotic and degenerated during TCDD treatment, whereas cells showed intact morphology during co-treatment with HT. On the whole, the results reveal that HT exerts a promising antioxidant potential in protecting the PBMC against TCDD induced oxidative stress, which might be due to the presence of catechol moiety in its structure.     

Zn^2＋对水鳖的毒性作用

研究了不同浓度Zn^2 毒害对水鳖叶片膜脂过氧化作用及其体细胞超微结构的影响。结果表明,随着Zn^2 浓度的增加,叶绿素含量、SOD、CAT、POD活性先后升降,叶绿素a/b值值则逐渐减小,而MDA含量增加,O2^-产生速率也逐渐增大。同功酶分析表明,Zn^2 可以诱导新的POD同功酶,电镜观察发现,低浓度Zn^ 处理下,水鳖叶细胞中核质空泡化,叶绿体膨胀变形,线粒体嵴膨胀,溶酶体、小泡数量增加,且出现了多膜复合体;随着Zn^2 浓度的增加,核质消失,叶绿体和线粒体解体,而根尖分生细胞中则出现了多核仁现象。

以水稻为材料，研究了不同浓度的模拟Ｎ、Ｐ污水对幼苗过氧化物酶（ＰＯＤ，ＥＣ１．１１．１．７）和超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯｏＤ，ＥＣ１．１５．１．１）及其同工酶等的影响，结果表明：在总氮浓度（Ｎｒ）为０─９０ｍｇ／Ｌ和总磷浓度（Ｐ＿Ｔ）为０─９ｍｇ／Ｌ范围内，ＰＯＤ与Ｎ、Ｐ浓度呈正相关，Ｎ＿Ｔ超过９０ｍｇ／Ｌ和Ｐ＿Ｔ超过９ｍｇ／Ｌ这一阈值后呈下降趋势，ＮＴ在０─１２０ｍｇ／Ｌ和Ｐ＿Ｔ在０─１２ｍｇ／Ｌ范围内，ＳＯＤ，丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）与Ｎ、Ｐ浓度呈显著正相关；Ｎ、Ｐ能诱导产生新的同工酶带，苗高、可溶性蛋白分别与Ｎ、Ｐ浓度呈显著负相关．     

久效磷对海洋微藻毒性机理的初步研究Ⅲ.超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化物酶活性的变化

报道了久效磷对３种海洋微藻细胞内２种清除活性氧的关键性酶———超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化物酶活性的影响．结果显示：１在久效磷的胁迫下，扁藻和三角褐指藻细胞的超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）活性均表现出下降的总变化趋势，而叉鞭金藻细胞的ＳＯＤ活性时而上升，时而下降，在整个胁迫过程中呈现出无规律性的变化．２随着久效磷胁迫时间的延长，３种微藻细胞的过氧化物酶活性均逐渐下降，表现出相同的变化规律性．这说明不同的藻种，久效磷对其细胞内酶活性的影响不尽相同．推测超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化物酶（ＰＯＤ）活性的降低是微藻细胞内过量产生活性氧，进而引起藻细胞膜脂过氧化伤害的主要原因之一．     

水体中Cu2+和Cd2+污染对育珠蚌肝脏中3种酶的影响

选取两种水体中常见的重金属污染离子(Cu^2 和Cd^2 )，按一定的浓度梯度配制成溶液，并以此溶液饲养育珠蚌一定时间后，测定两种离子对育珠蚌肝脏中的酯酶(EST)、过氧化物酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性的影响．结果表明，低浓度的重金属离子可以诱导3种酶活性的升高，而高浓度的离子则抑制酶的活性．同工酶电泳检测显示，高浓度的离子导致EST同工酶谱减少一条谱带，低浓度的离子则诱导产生新的SOD同工酶类型，但两种离子均未对POD同工酶谱产生影响．图6参10
