牛骨粉对Cd污染土壤修复效应和土壤肥力的影响

通过一年静态培养试验,研究了牛骨粉对碱性和酸性Cd污染土壤钝化修复效应及土壤基本理化性质、肥力和酶活性的影响.结果表明,与对照相比,投加牛骨粉后碱性土壤有机质和含水率分别降低了5.4%～14.3%和0.29%～3.04%,而土壤阳离子交换量(CEC)增加了10.8%～18.9%;在酸性土壤中,添加牛骨粉后土壤pH、有机质和CEC分别较对照增加了0.70～1.42、0.4%～6.7%和1.1%～3.4%,含水率则下降了0.75%～2.58%.两种土壤有机碳红外光谱特征峰相似,图谱形状基本一致,但强度存在不同程度的差异.施用牛骨粉后土壤总氮、总磷和全钾含量均有所提高,其中,碱性土壤最大分别增加了39.8%、345.2%和3.4%,酸性土壤最大分别增加了61.0%、612.9%和5.1%.铵态氮、硝态氮、有效磷、速效钾含量均随牛骨粉施加量的增加而增加.土壤中TCLP(toxicity characteristic leaching procedure)提取态Cd含量随牛骨粉投加量增加而降低,与对照相比,酸性和碱性土壤分别减少了38.9%～71.9%和8.6%～18.2%.施加牛骨粉整体上促进了土壤过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶和尿酶活性(仅碱性土壤脲酶活性受到抑制).在碱性土壤中,土壤有效态Cd含量与pH、有机质、含水率、有效磷和速效钾呈显著正相关(p0.01),而与阳离子交换量、全氮、全磷、过氧化氢酶表现为显著负相关(p0.01).在酸性土壤中,土壤有效态Cd含量与pH、有机质、全氮、全磷、全钾、有效磷、速效钾、过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶呈显著负相关(p0.01),而与含水率呈显著正相关(p0.01).综合评价表明,采用牛骨粉原位钝化修复Cd污染土壤有效可行.     

Anaerobic digestion of agro-industrial waste enriched with bovine bone meal for improved biogas production and biofertilization

The increase in animal and agro-industrial production must be accompanied by the development of appropriate waste and by-product management strategies. Anaerobic digestion is a promising approach to recycle these wastes and reintegrate them into the economic production cycle of biogas and biofertilizer. In order to improve the performance of the anaerobic mesophilic digestion of abundant agro-industrial wastes constituted by potato peel (PP), and poultry waste (PW) and study the contribution of bovine bone meal (BB) as additive rich in phosphorus, which can help to neutralize the acidity of the substrate. The 10-point simplex-centroid design and the isoresponse surfaces strategy were used. This study demonstrated that in mesophilic bio-digestion, the using bovine bones in admixture with agroindustrial residue provided for the proper balance of chemical components required for proliferation of microbiological agent of bioconversion, which also resulted in an increase in biogas production capacity. The best formula was so composed by 66.67% bovine bone, 16.67% potatoes peel, and 16.67% poultry waste. The stability was achieved here after only 12 days. The digestate generated from it was fulfilled with the microbiological and chemical requirements for safety defined by the NF U44-551 standard. Germination test revealed that this optimal produced digestate, did not hinder growth, in fact, almost 85% of seed was germinated. Finally, fertilization experiments prove that this digestate can boost the growth of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum).     

Quantification of uncertainty of experimental measurement in leaching test on cement-based materials

When mineral wastes are reused in construction materials, a current practice is to evaluate their environmental impact using standard leaching test. However, due to the uncertainty of the measurement, it is usually quite difficult to estimate the pollutant potential compared to other materials or threshold limits. The aim of this paper is to give a quantitative evaluation of the uncertainty of leachate concentrations of cement-based materials, as a function of the number of test performed. The relative standard deviations and relative confidence intervals are determined using experimental data in order to give a global evaluation of the uncertainty of leachate concentrations (determination of total relative standard deviation). Various combinations were realized in order to point out the origin of large dispersion of the results (determination of relative standard deviation linked to analytical measured and to leaching procedure), generalisation was suggested and the results were compared to literature. An actual example was given about the introduction of residue (meat and bone meal bottom ash--MBM-BA) in mortar, leaching tests were carried out on various samples with and without residue MBM-BA. In conclusion large dispersion were observed and mainly due to heterogeneity of materials. So heightened attention needed to analyse leaching result on cement-based materials and further more other tests (e.g. ecotoxicology) should be performed to evaluate the environmental effect of these materials.

First-trimester screening for Down syndrome; the role of nasal bone assessment in the Korean population

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of nasal bone assessment in first-trimester screening for Down syndrome (DS) in the Korean population. Methods From July 2004 to March 2006, we prospectively evaluated the fetal nasal bones at 11–14 weeks' gestation in the Korean population. Results A successful evaluation was possible in 6490 of 6787 fetuses (95.6%). Absent, hypoechoic, and short nasal bones were seen in 4 (26.7%), 4 (26.7%), and 1 (6.7%) of 15 fetuses with DS, respectively, whereas in 5 (0.1%), 11 (0.2%), and 246 (3.8%) of 6456 normal fetuses. The incidence of absent and hypoechoic nasal bone showed significant differences between normal fetuses and fetuses with DS (P < 0.0005, both). Screening for DS using an absent or hypoechoic nasal bone resulted in a sensitivity of 53.3%, a specificity of 99.8%, a positive likelihood ratio of 215.2, and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.5. Conclusion Our study showed that nasal bone abnormality at 11–14 weeks of gestation had a high association with DS in the Korean population. This suggests that nasal bone assessment can be used to supplement the current first-trimester screening for DS in the Korean population. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Conceiving a fetus for bone marrow donation: An ethical problem in prenatal diagnosis

We present a family who sought prenatal diagnosis in order to bear a healthy child to serve as an HLA–identical bone marrow donor for their son affected with Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome. They intended to abort HLA-incompatible fetuses who would have been unsuitable bone marrow donors. This case led us to conclude that prenatal diagnosis should not be used to benefit a third party or facilitate the conception or abortion of a fetus for the purpose of generating an organ for transplantation. The limits of parental autonomy and physician responsibility are discussed.
