长江中下游湖泊沉积物酶活性及其与富营养化的关系

为揭示富营养化湖泊沉积物营养物分解合成过程的生物化学机制,研究了长江中下游6个浅水湖泊沉积物氮、磷、有机质和铵氮含量,水解酶、氧化还原酶活性,微生物种类与数量及之间的关系.结果表明:大通湖、珊珀湖、赛城湖和军山湖等养殖型湖泊,污染严重,其沉积物脲酶活性明显高于污染程度轻的大型湖泊鄱阳湖和洞庭湖,且与沉积物总氮(TN)、有机质(OM)含量呈极显著正相关(r=885,P<0.01;r=0.900,P<0.01);沉积物碱性磷酸酶(APA)活性与总磷(TP)含量呈极显著正相关(r=0.986,P<0.01).湖泊沉积物过氧化氢酶、多酚氧化酶与过氧化物酶活性变化趋势相近,分布状况与湖泊污染程度、人类活动干扰程度等紧密相连.湖泊沉积物微生物以细菌为主,放线菌次之,真菌最少.各湖泊氨化细菌数量差异较小,而反硝化细菌数量差异较大,反硝化细菌可能是导致该区域湖泊沉积物氮素累积的重要生物指示因子,可以作为反映湖泊富营养化程度的生物指示因子.     

Inactivation effect of pressurized carbon dioxide on bacteriophage Qβ and ΦX174 as a novel disinfectant for water treatment

The inactivation effects of pressurized CO2 against bacteriophage Qβ and ΦX174 were investigated under the pressure of 0.3–0.9 MPa, initial concentration of 107–109PFU/mL, and temperature of17.8°C–27.2°C. The optimum conditions were found to be 0.7 MPa and an exposure time of 25 min. Under identical treatment conditions, a greater than 3.3-log reduction in bacteriophage Qβ was achieved by CO2, while a nearly 3.0 log reduction was observed for phage ΦX174. The viricidal effects of N2O(an inactivation gas with similar characteristics to CO2), normal acid(HCl), and CO2 treatment with phosphate buffered saline affirmed the chemical nature of CO2 treatment. The pumping cycle, depressurization rate, and release of intracellular substances caused by CO2 were its viricidal mechanisms. The results indicate that CO2 has the potential for use as a disinfectant without forming disinfection by-products.

Prenatal diagnosis of a small supernumerary,XIST-negative,mosaic ring X chromosome identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization in an abnormal male fetus

Marker or ring X [r(X)] chromosomes of varying size are often found in patients with Turner syndrome. Patients with very small r(X) chromosomes that did not include the X-inactivation locus (XIST) have been described with a more severe phenotype. Small r(X) chromosomes are rare in males and there are only five previous reports of such cases. We report the identification of a small supernumerary X chromosome in an abnormal male fetus. Cytogenetic analysis from chorionic villus sampling was performed because of fetal nuchal translucency thickness and it showed mosaicism 46,XY/47,XY,+r(X)/48,XY,+r(X),+r(X). Fluorescence in situ hybridizations (FISH) showed the marker to be of X-chromosome origin and not to contain the XIST locus. Additional specific probes showed that the r(X) included a euchromatic region in proximal Xq. At 20 weeks gestation, a second ultrasound examination revealed cerebral abnormalities. After genetic counselling, the pregnancy was terminated. The fetus we describe is the first male with a mosaic XIST-negative r(X) chromosome identified at prenatal diagnosis. The phenotype we observed was probably the result of functional disomy of the genes in the r(X) chromosome, secondary to loss of the XIST locus. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Familial X centromere variant resulting in false-positive prenatal diagnosis of monosomy X by interphase FISH

Interphase fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis performed on uncultured amniotic fluid cells from a female fetus revealed a single signal using an X chromosome alpha-satellite probe, and the absence of any signal using a Y chromosome alpha-satellite probe. This result was initially interpreted as monosomy for the X chromosome in the fetus. Subsequent chromosome analysis from the cultured amniotic fluid cells showed two apparently normal X chromosomes. FISH using the X alpha-satellite probe on metaphase spreads revealed hybridization to both X chromosomes, although one signal was markedly reduced compared to the other. The same hybridization pattern was observed in the mother of the fetus. This is the first report of a rare familial X centromere variant resulting in a false-positive diagnosis of monosomy X by interphase FISH analysis for prenatal diagnosis.

The synergistic interaction of Nickel(II) with dna damaging agents

In this report we present several examples in which nickel(II) in combination with DNA damaging agents caused an enhanced or synergistic biological response using several different endpoints. These examples of Ni(II) toxicity represent several approaches designed to understand the genotoxicity of Ni(II) as well as several other metal ions. They are discussed in this report as a partial basis for our hypothesis that Ni(II) may alter the cellular processing of DNA damage at some common point in the pathway for DNA repair of several different agents. In cultured Chinese hamster cells DNA damage by Ni(II) ions was not readily demonstrated by the method of alkaline elution, but pretreatment of cells with Ni(II) before X‐irradiation produced an enhanced amount of strand breaks compared to the amount produced by X‐rays alone. A synergistic enhancement of cell transformation of Syrian hamster embryo cells was observed for combined treatments of Ni(II) and benzo(a)pyrene. The nickel enhancement of mutagenesis by ultraviolet light was demonstrated for the bacterial gene gpt stably integrated into the Chinese hamster V79 genome.     

On the parental origin of the X's in a prenatally diagnosed 49,XXXXX syndrome

A 49,XXXXX fetus was detected in amniotic fluid cell cultures from a 39-year-old mother. On ultrasonography, growth retardation and bilateral radioulnar synostosis were found. Additional clinical manifestations were mild facial anomalies and hypoplastic ovaries depleted of oocytes. Molecular analysis showed that this aneuploidy arose by successive maternal non-disjunction.     

Normal karyotype in cultured chorionic villus cells,but mosaicism in amniotic and fetal cells

A case with a normal male karyotype in cultured chorionic villus cells, but 46,XY/45,X/ 46,X,i(Yq) mosaicism in amniotic and fetal tissue is reported. The fetus was a phenotypic male. Pathological examination revealed discrete features, which might indicate a syndrome, and histological examination showed large, bright cells in the tubules of the testes. Possible explanations for discordance between the karyotype of embryonic and extraembryonic tissue are discussed.
