土壤微生物对苯的降解研究

使用大庆油田石油污染土壤中分离出优势菌种(革兰氏阴性G^-、黄杆菌属Flavobacterium),在实验室可控条件下,研究了该菌种对苯的降解规律和特点.研究发现:微生物对苯浓度耐受范围8.8～17.6 mg·L^-1,大于17.6mg·L^-1时,对该菌株产生明显的抑制作用.降解体系在pH为6.5～7.0之间达到对苯的较高降解水平,最佳降解率出现在苯初始浓度7.04～13.2mg·L^-1之间;苯在微生物细胞内外的浓度变化趋势呈现一致.-lgP(P为有机溶剂苯在细胞膜和水相中的分配系数的比值)的变化能够较好的表征苯在微生物细胞内外的降解趋势和毒性变化;当体系中苯的初始浓度大于8.8mg·L^-1时,苯的降解率与P值变化趋于一致.     

Influence of testosterone on phase-II enzymes in liver and kidney of benzene-treated rats

Testosterone manifests some protective effects against benzene-induced toxicity in rats. However, mechanism of protection remains to be established. Data showed that testosterone modulates conjugation of reactive metabolites of benzene by influencing phase-II enzymes viz. glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase in both liver and kidney. These observations are supported by the opposite results obtained in castrated rats. It is postulated that testosterone decreases the formation of reactive oxygen species resulting into an increase in phase-II enzymes. Enhanced activity of these antioxidant enzymes is responsible for DNA strand repair as demonstrated by short comet tail length in liver and kidney of benzene and testosterone treated rats. Castration alters benzene pharmacokinetics by influencing these enzymes, a response which may be abolished by testosterone supplementation.     

苯和甲醛联合染毒对小鼠脾脏的损伤

为了探讨苯和甲醛联合染毒对小鼠脾脏的损伤以及二者是否具有一定的协同作用,选择BALB/c雄性小鼠30只,随机分为5组,每组6只,设苯组、甲醛组、苯和甲醛联合染毒组及玉米油对照组和空白对照组,对小鼠进行气态甲醛吸入染毒或/和苯玉米油溶液灌胃染毒。染毒结束后对小鼠脾脏进行组织病理学观察,并且测定脾脏的脏器系数以及脾脏组织的活性氧(ROS)和丙二醛(MDA)的含量。结果显示,苯和甲醛联合染毒组小鼠脾脏组织中ROS的含量与空白对照组相比有极显著的上升趋势(P<0.01),脾脏的脏器系数以及脾脏组织中MDA的含量与空白对照组相比有显著性差异(P<0.05)。此外,在脾脏免疫组织形态变化以及脾脏组织中MDA含量这2个生理生化指标上,苯和甲醛联合染毒对小鼠脾脏的损伤具有一定的协同作用。     

十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)及消油剂对刺参幼参的急性毒性

为探究表面活性剂对海洋棘皮动物的影响,测定了十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)和消油剂对刺参(Stichopus japonicas )幼参的急性毒性。结果显示,SDBS对刺参幼参的72 h-LC₅₀和96 h-LC₅₀分别为2.50和1.71 mg·L^-1;消油剂对刺参幼参的96 h-LC₅₀为7 498.94 mg·L^-1。刺参幼参相对于多刺裸腹溞(Moina macrocopa )和脊尾白虾仔虾(Palaemon carincauda )对SDBS的敏感性较高,相对于安氏伪镖水蚤(Pseudodiaptomus annandalei )对SDBS的敏感性则较低,SDBS对刺参幼参的毒性明显大于十二烷基磺酸钠(SDS),消油剂的96 h-LC₅₀ 远远大于SDBS和SDS,毒性非常小,但这仅是对刺参幼参而言,大多数研究忽视了消油剂自身对生物体存在的影响,因此这方面的研究工作还需要继续开展。

The solar transformity of petroleum fuels

Petroleum fuels are the primary energy basis for transportation and industry. They are almost always an important input to the economic and social activities of humanity. Emergy analyses require accurate estimates with specified uncertainty for the transformities of major energy and material inputs to economic and environmental systems. In this study, the oil refining processes in Italy and the United States were examined to estimate the transformity and specific emergy of petroleum derivatives. Based on our assumptions that petroleum derivatives are splits of a complex hydrocarbon mixture and that the emergy is split based on the fraction of energy in a product, we estimated that the transformity of petroleum derivatives is 65,826 sej/J ± 1.4% relative to the 9.26E+24 sej/year planetary baseline. Estimates of the specific emergies of the various liquid fuels from Italian and U.S. refineries are within 2% of one another and the relationship of particular values varies with the refinery design. Our average transformity is only 1.7% larger than the current estimate for petroleum fuels determined by back calculation, confirming the accuracy of this transformity in existing emergy analyses. The model uncertainty between using energy or mass to determine how emergy is split was less that 2% in the estimate of both the transformity and specific emergy of liquid fuels, but larger for solid and gaseous products. This study is a contribution to strengthen the emergy methodology, providing data that can be useful in the analysis of many human activities.     

Sequestration of prenylated benzoic acid and chromenes by Naupactus bipes (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) feeding on Piper gaudichaudianum (Piperaceae)

The curculionid beetle Naupactus bipes (Germar, 1824) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Brachycerinae) has shown feeding preference for leaves of Piper gaudichaudianum, demonstrating an unexpected specificity for an insect considered to be a generalist. The leaves of P. gaudichaudianum contain the prenylated chromenes gaudichaudianic acid (4, major compound) and its methyl ester (5) in addition to a chromene (3) lacking one prenyl residue. In addition to 4, roots contain the chromone methyl ester (1) and methyl taboganate (2, major compound). Feeding on roots, larvae of N. bipes sequester exclusively the root-specific compounds 1 and 2. Adult beetles sequester the leaf-specific chromenes 3 and 4, but were found to also contain compounds 1 and 2 that are absent in leaves. Therefore, it is suggested that 1 and 2 are sequestered by larvae and can be found in the body of adult insects after long-term storage. In addition, 3 and 4, the major compounds in leaves were found to be associated with the eggs.     

苯急性暴露对Sprague-Dawley大鼠全基因组DNA甲基化的影响

现有文献表明,DNA甲基化异常与肿瘤的发生密切相关,其中全基因组DNA甲基化水平的改变已经被认为是癌症发生的生物标志物;同时,大量遗传毒理学实验证明苯可以引起DNA突变和断裂,然而苯暴露引起全基因组DNA甲基化异常的现象,目前鲜有文献报道。为了揭示苯引起全基因组DNA甲基化变化的致毒机制,本实验中,Sprague-Dawley（SD）雄性大鼠经口灌胃急性暴露于以500 mg.kg-1（以体质量计）的苯中,在暴露6、12、24、30 h后采集SD雄性大鼠体内血液、肝脏、肾脏和肺,利用高效液相色谱分析方法检测全基因组DNA甲基化水平。结果表明,SD雄性大鼠血液和肝脏的全基因组DNA甲基化水平显著下降,而在肾脏和肺中没有显著地变化,表现出组织特异性。本实验率先报道了苯的暴露可以引起全基因组DNA甲基化水平的异常,从表观遗传学的角度解释了苯影响人体健康的机制。

SDS、SDBS胶团强化超滤Cu~(2+)的比较

采用模拟含Cu2+废水,以阴离子表面活性剂SDS和SDBS胶团强化超滤分离Cu2+(Cu2+固定为0.6 mmol/L),通过对渗透通量、渗透浓度、去除率、富集率的比较,从而得出SDS、SDBS分离效果的优劣.结果表明,添加SDS的渗透通量始终高于SDBS[其中SDS平均渗透通量为29.92 L.(m2.h)-1,而SDBS只有16.55 L.(m2.h)-1],渗透浓度始终低于SDBS,当渗透液Cu2+浓度接近为0时,SDBS、SDS所需浓度分别为2 mmol/L和6 mmol/L.SDS的Cu2+去除率和平均富集率高于SDBS(SDS平均去除率为85.06%,平均富集率为4.18;SDBS对应值分别为69.05%,4.05).此外,SDS自身的平均富集率也高于SDBS(SDS为3.89,SDBS为3.13).由此可见,SDS比SDBS更适合去除Cu2+.
