Toxic effects of realgar transforming solution on the reproduction of Caenorhabditis elegans

Realgar transforming solution is an arsenic formulation which has shown anticancer effects with low toxicity both in vivo and in vitro. In this study, Caenorhabditis elegans was used to evaluate its reproductive toxicity and its possible mechanisms. Realgar transforming solution decreased the brood size and induced proliferation arrest and apoptosis significantly only at an elemental concentration of 37.5 mg/L, while arsenic trioxide reduced the brood sizes and induced proliferation arrest and apoptosis of both the wild type N2 and let-60 ras(gf) mutant worms in an arsenic concentration dependent manner. Mitogen-activated protein kinase and protein p53 pathways may be involved in reproductive toxicity as evidenced by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, RNA interference, and inhibition experiments with mitogen-activated protein kinases and p53. In conclusion, realgar transforming solution at the low arsenic (As) concentrations showed lower reproductive toxicity than arsenic trioxide, and a different molecular mechanism of reproductive toxicity is suggested.

两种放电模式降解甲苯的原位红外研究

采用原位红外对比研究连续放电法和吸附存储-放电法两种降解方式下,γ-Al2O3、Ag/γ-Al2O3、NiO/γ-Al2O3三种催化剂上甲苯的吸附和降解反应,对该过程中催化剂表面中间产物的变化以及催化剂对甲苯降解的作用进行考察.结果表明,吸附存储-放电法要优于连续放电法,其中间产物的种类相对减少,未检测到胺类物质;主要原因是吸附存储-放电模式下的催化剂可以有效利用等离子体产生的活性物种,使中间产物迅速脱附转化.对比γ-Al2O3、Ag/γ-Al2O3、NiO/γ-Al2O3三种催化剂对甲苯的降解作用,结果显示Ag、NiO的添加能有效减少中间产物的累积,其中NiO/γ-Al2O3表现出更良好的效果.     

环境化学致癌物联苯胺和六氯苯对大鼠肝线粒体酶活性的影响（Effects of Environmental Chemical Carcinogens Benzidine and 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane on Enzyme Activities of Rat Liver Mitochonria）

采用不同浓度(50、100、200mg·kg-1)的联苯胺(Benzidine)和不同浓度(200、400、800mg·kg-1)的六氯苯(1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane),通过对大鼠进行体内染毒建立毒性作用动物模型,分析了大鼠肝脏线粒体抗氧化物酶及呼吸代谢和能量转换酶(SOD、GSH-Px、COX和Ca2+-ATPase、Mg2+-ATPase)活性的变化.结果表明,在低浓度联苯胺(50mg·kg-1)和六氯苯(200mg·kg-1或400mg·kg-1)作用下酶活性出现应激反应,而高浓度联苯胺(100、200mg·kg-1)和六氯苯(800mg·kg-1)则显示出明显的抑制作用.分析认为,联苯胺和六氯苯可能经体内代谢活化后,对线粒体DNA及其转录和翻译系统产生作用,导致线粒体代谢功能紊乱,这可能是联苯胺和六氯苯毒性作用对线粒体损伤的主要机制.     

Film mulching reduces antibiotic resistance genes in the phyllosphere of lettuce

Phyllosphere is an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs), but the transfer mechanism of ARGs from soil and air to phyllosphere remains unclear. This study demonstrated that soil-air-phyllosphere was the dominant ARG transfer pathway, and blocking it by film mulching can reduce typical phyllosphere ARGs in lettuce by 80.7%-98.7%(89.5% on average). To further eliminate phyllosphere ARGs in lettuce grown with film mulching, the internal soil-endosphere-phyllosphere transfer pathw...

Ozonation of aromatic monomer compounds in water: factors determining reaction outcomes

● p- CNB and IBP were selected, to explore factors determining ozonation outcomes. ● •OH contributed only 50 % to IBP removal, compared to the 90 % for p -CNB removal. ● IBP achieved fewer TOC removal and more by-product types and quantities. ● A longer ring-opening distance existed during the degradation of IBP. ● Multiple positions on both branches of IBP were attacked, consuming more oxidants. For aromatic monomer compounds (AMCs), ozonation outcomes were usually predicted by the substituents of the benzene ring based on the electron inductive effect. However, the predicted results were occasionally unreliable for complex substituents, and other factors caused concern. In this study, p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) and ibuprofen (IBP) were selected for ozonation. According to the electron inductive theory, p-CNB should be less oxidizable, but the opposite was true. The higher rates of p-CNB were due to various sources of assistance. First, the hydroxyl radical (•OH) contributed 90 % to p-CNB removal at pH 7.0, while its contribution to IBP removal was 50 %. Other contributions came from molecular O₃ oxidation. Second, p-CNB achieved 40 % of the total organic carbon (TOC) removal and fewer by-product types and quantities, when compared to the results for IBP. Third, the oxidation of p-CNB started with hydroxyl substitution reactions on the benzene ring; then, the ring opened. However, IBP was initially oxidized mainly on the butane branched chain, with a chain-shortening process occurring before the ring opened. Finally, the degradation pathway of p-CNB was single and consumed fewer oxidants. However, both branches of IBP were attacked simultaneously, and three degradation pathways that relied on more oxidants were proposed. All of these factors were determinants of the rapid removal of p-CNB.     

Mercury exposure in the freshwater tilapia Oreochromis niloticus

Mercury (Hg) can be strongly accumulated and biomagnified along aquatic food chain, but the exposure pathway remains little studied. In this study, we quantified the uptake and elimination of both inorganic mercury [as Hg(II)] and methylmercury (as MeHg) in an important farmed freshwater fish, the tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, using ²⁰³Hg radiotracer technique. The dissolved uptake rates of both mercury species increased linearly with Hg concentration (tested at ng/L levels), and the uptake rate constant of MeHg was 4 times higher than that of Hg(II). Dissolved uptake of mercury was highly dependent on the water pH and dissolved organic carbon concentration. The dietborne assimilation efficiency of MeHg was 3.7-7.2 times higher than that of Hg(II), while the efflux rate constant of MeHg was 7.1 times lower. The biokinetic modeling results showed that MeHg was the greater contributor to the overall mercury bioaccumulation and dietary exposure was the predominant pathway.
