Alginate modifies the physiological impact of CeO2 nanoparticles in corn seedlings cultivated in soil

Alginates are naturally occurring components of organic matter in natural soil whose effects on nanoparticle （NP） toxicity to plants is not well understood. In the present study, corn plants were grown for one month in soil spiked with 400 mg/kg CeO2 NPs with various alginate concentrations. After one month of growth in the NPs impacted soil, plants were harvested and analyzed for Ce and mineral element concentrations. Chlorophyll concentration and heat shock protein 70, used as biomarkers for oxidative stress, were also evaluated. Results showed that, compared to CeO2 NPs treatment, alginate at 10, 50, and 100 mg/kg increased Ce concentration in roots by approximately 46%, 38%, and 29% and by 115%, 45%, and 56% in shoots, respectively. CeO 2 NPs without alginate increased Mn accumulation in roots by 34% compared to control. CeO2 NPs with low and medium alginate increased Mn by ca. 92% respect to NPs without alginate and by ca. 155% respect to control. CeO2 NPs without/with alginate significantly increased accumulation of Fe and Al in roots. In addition, alginate at 50 mg/kg increased Zn accumulation in roots by 52% compared to control. In shoots, K increased at all NP treatments but the accumulation of other elements was not affected. Alginate enlarged the impact of CeO2 NPs to corn plants by reducing chlorophyll a content and triggering overexpression of heat shock protein 70.     

蛋白质对PVDF超滤膜污染行为的界面微观作用力解析

采用原子力显微镜,结合自制微颗粒探针,对膜-污染物及污染物-污染物间微观作用力进行了检测分析,考察了不同p H条件下牛血清蛋白(BSA)在不同界面特性PVDF超滤膜上的膜污染行为.结果表明,在膜过滤初期,通量剧烈衰减主要由BSA和膜之间黏附力作用导致,在膜过滤后期,BSA与BSA之间的黏聚作用则是影响后期膜污染行为的主要因素;PA膜-BSA和PP膜-BSA之间的黏附作用力均大于BSA-BSA之间的黏聚作用力,说明在整个膜过滤过程中,BSA与PVDF超滤膜之间的黏附作用对膜污染起主导作用;相同p H条件下,PA膜-BSA之间的微观作用小于PP膜-BSA之间的相互作用力,说明亲水性较强的PA膜具有较强的抗污染性;而PA膜和PP膜过滤后期BSA-BSA之间黏聚力相差不大,也进一步说明膜过滤过程中膜-污染物之间的微观作用力是影响膜污染行为的主要因素.

硫粉投加量与污泥含固率之比对生物淋滤过程的影响

通过接种污泥硫细菌混合菌液,研究了S粉投加量与污泥含固率之比(SA/TS)对城市污泥中重金属生物淋滤效果的影响.结果表明,增大SA/TS值能显著缩短淋滤时间,提高淋滤效果.当SA/TS为2.5,经过8 d生物淋滤,Cu和Zn的淋滤效果可达到最佳,溶出率分别为66.2%和63.9%.淋滤进行16 d后,Pb的溶出率为30.8%.对于Cu,不论淋滤前后有机态都是较强的结合态.Zn的溶出主要是由于结合能力强的铁锰氧化态在淋滤过程中被大量浸出.Pb经过16 d的淋滤,铁锰氧化态所占比例有所下降而有机态比例上升.加大SA/TS有利于提高S粉的利用率,对N的保存影响不大,但增加了P的流失.     

蛋白质组学技术在环境内分泌干扰物分析上应用

为了探讨蛋白质组学技术在环境雌激素分析上的应用,用浓度为3.7×10-9mol/L的17β-雌二醇(E2)处理MCF-7细胞2或3天后进行双向电泳,对比不同的蛋白质提取、染色方法,利用光密度扫描仪将电泳图像数字化,并使用PDQuest软件进行图像分析,以观察雌激素诱导下的蛋白质表达图谱。结果表明,在蛋白质的提取上,冻融法比超声裂解法更有效;在蛋白质染色上,银染法比考马斯亮蓝染色法能得到更多可显示的蛋白质斑点。用E2处理72h后的MCF-7细胞,可检测到40个下调蛋白和5个上调蛋白。该蛋白质表达模式的改变提示了环境雌激素诱导下的特异性蛋白质表达图谱变化。本研究为分析雌激素类内分泌干扰物的内在作用机制提供了一种新的可行方法,也为建立其高通量筛选方法提供了新的思路。     

High efficiency of the NH4H2PO4/Mg(OH)2 composite for guaranteeing safety of wood production

Currently, China's timber industry is in high demand with the development of real estate. However, there is a certain fire hazard in the production process of wood manufacturing. Once a fire occurs, the fire is violent and the spread is rapid. Therefore, to improve the safety of its production process, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and magnesium hydroxide were selected to prepare a new composite superfine dry powder, which was denoted as the NH₄H₂PO₄/Mg(OH)₂ composite. Furthermore, to figure out dry powders' extinction effect on Class A fire, the wood-crib fire suppression effect of the NH₄H₂PO₄/Mg(OH)₂ composite was test, and then compared with that of ultrafine dry powder (UDP) and commercial ABC dry powder (C-ABC) in a 1 m³ chamber. Three parameters of the fire extinguishing process, namely flame extinction time, powder consumption and temperature drop were adopted to measure the fire suppression performance. The results demonstrated that UDP and C-ABC both had a larger flame extinction time and powder consumption than the NH₄H₂PO₄/Mg(OH)₂ composite. Besides, a fire (wood cribs) can be extinguished by the NH₄H₂PO₄/Mg(OH)₂ composite with the fastest temperature drop and a much-improved toxic gas suppression ability. In short, the NH₄H₂PO₄/Mg(OH)₂ composite can better guarantee the safety of the wood processing production process. Moreover, the reasons for performance advantages of the NH₄H₂PO₄/Mg(OH)₂ composite were discussed.
