伊乐藻(Elodea nuttallii)对高浓度氮磷营养盐的耐受性

通过5个相对恒定的TN、TP浓度梯度下伊乐藻(Elodea nuttallii)的生长实验,探讨了伊乐藻对高浓度氮磷营养盐的耐受性,比较了各营养盐浓度下水体的pH值、DO、浮游藻类叶绿素a和附着藻类叶绿素a以及伊乐藻的株高、湿质量、干质量和叶绿素a含量.结果表明:在实验条件下,伊乐藻能耐受TN=10 mg·L~(-1),TP=0.4 mg·L~(-1)的胁迫,且在该营养盐水平下水体中没有出现大量的浮游藻类;而在TN=50 mg·L~(-1)、TP=2 mg·L~(-1)和TN=100 mg·L~(-1)、TP=4 mg·L~(-1)的高营养盐条件下,伊乐藻的生长受到了明显的抑制,同时水体中的浮游藻类明显增多,而附着藻类则明显减少;在高营养盐水平下,一方面水体中的某些营养盐可能对伊乐藻产生了直接伤害,另一方面水体中浮游藻类的增多,所导致的遮光作用也可能限制了其生长;对水体中营养盐的平均水平低于TN=10 mg·L~(-1),TP=0.4 mg·L~(-1)的太湖而言,沉水植被的消亡可能不是由于氮磷营养盐所产生的直接伤害和胁迫.     

北京四校园人工湖浮游藻类与富营养化特征分析

浮游藻类作为重要的生物指标已被广泛运用于各种水体的富营养化监测与评价中.论文对北京市4个校园人工湖的浮游藻类群落组成及季节变化展开调查,探讨了浮游藻类生物指标和富营养化的关系及其季节变化规律.调查期间,镜鉴得到39个属,隶属于蓝藻,绿藻和硅藻门.4个水体生物密度的季节平均值均高于500 cell·mL^-1,多样性指数普遍介于2～3之间.TN,TP和COD显示各水体都已处于富营养化状态.综合生物指标和水质指标进行聚类分析,结果显示:4个人工湖不同季节的水体可分为绿藻型,蓝,绿藻型和硅藻型三大类富营养化水体:荷花池,荷塘浮游藻类群落相似性最高,而荷塘、未名湖夏季富营养化程度最接近.     

密云水库的浮游植物群落结构与密度

 1998年的调查研究显示,密云水库库区水体的浮游植物群落为硅藻(Bacillariophyta)—绿藻(Chlorophyta)型,细胞密度为358.76×104·L-1。湖泊的营养特征为浮游植物响应型。1988～1998年库区水体总氮增长48.7％,总磷增长31.2％,浮游植物细胞密度增长41.7％,库区水体已为中营养,并出现了富营养型浮游植物指示种类,例如斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus(Turp)．Kütz．),铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa Kütz．),湖泊色球藻(Chroococcus limneticus Lemm．)。水体向富营养化发展趋势明显。应加强水环境保护,增加密云水库流域植被覆盖度,净化、涵养水源,以保证密云水库向北京市供水的质量和数量。     

洪湖水体藻类藻相特征及其对生境的响应

藻类是水生态系统的重要成分,它的群落结构、细胞密度变化与水环境相适应,随水环境的变化而改变,因此藻相变化是评价水体质量的一项重要指标。2009—2010年在洪湖水面不同方位布点采样,对水体的浮游藻类藻相(群落结构、密度)和水质状况(水位(water level,H)、水温(water temperature,tw)、透明度(transparency,SD)、总氮(total nitrogen,TN)、总磷(totalphosphorus,TP)、高锰酸盐指数(permanganate index,CODMn)和叶绿素含量(chlorophyll a,Chl-a)等)进行了逐月的调查、监测,采用湖库营养状态指数法对湖泊富营养化评价,并运用多元逐步回归方法建立水体藻类与生境因子的回归方程。结果表明:洪湖水体总体上已达到轻度富营养化状态;藻类以蓝藻门、硅藻门和绿藻门为主,共鉴定出7门65属,藻细胞密度为1.14×106—3.24×107个/L,藻相季节变化特征明显。藻类组成以蓝藻门密度最高(52.93%),硅藻门(25.96%)和绿藻门(16.83%)次之,隐藻门(1.98%)、金藻门(1.64%)、裸藻门(0.42%)和甲藻门(0.25%)相对较低。藻类藻相及优势种在不同季节有所差异,冬春季节(12—5月)以硅藻门的直链藻、小环藻和针杆藻为优势种,夏秋季节(7—11月)以蓝藻门的鱼腥藻和微囊藻为优势种;湖泊藻类细胞密度与tw、CODMn呈正显著相关关系,与H、TN、TP、SD相关关系不显著;藻细胞生长逐步回归方程为y=3.7815+0.0794tw+0.5670CODMn-1.3467SD,藻细胞生长主要受水温和有机污染物等的影响,氮磷不是藻类生长的控制因子;在湖泊不同区域,环境条件存在差异,导致藻类生长过程中起主导作用的环境因子存在一定的差异,蓝藻生长主要受tw、CODMn和SD控制,绿藻生长主要受H、tw和CODMn影响,而硅藻生长决定于水体CODMn。     

巢湖叶绿素a浓度的时空分布及其与氮、磷浓度关系

基于巢湖水体2002~2007年水质监测资料,对叶绿素a浓度的分布、动态及与TN、TP的关系进行了统计分析。巢湖叶绿素a浓度与TN、TP的浓度分布存在明显的空间差异,西半湖叶绿素a浓度全年高于20μg/L,TN为1.94~3.84mg/L,TP为0.20~0.42mg/L;东半湖叶绿素a浓度全年小于5.5μg/L,TN为0.95~1.83mg/L,TP为0.08~0.14mg/L。在东半湖,叶绿素a含量与TN呈不明显的正线性关系,当TP浓度较低时,叶绿素a随TP的增加小幅上升,但是当TP>0.15mg/L时,叶绿素a随TP的增加而明显上升;在西半湖,当水体TN<5.8mg/L或者TP<2.0mg/L时,叶绿素a含量与TN、TP关系为正线性关系,当TN在5.8~9.4mg/L或者TP介于0.2~0.3mg/L间时,叶绿素a含量与TN、TP关系为不显著的负线性关系,当TP浓度>0.3mg/L时,叶绿素a含量与TP关系又为正线性关系。西半湖叶绿素a浓度的变化可能是藻类生物活动与沉积物及水体中营养盐的相互作用结果。在治理巢湖富营养化时,应优先控制西半湖的磷元素。     

水质对东江流域附生硅藻群落的影响

运用相关分析(CA),典型对应分析(CCA),加权平均分析(WA)研究了影响东江流域附生硅藻的主要水质因子及对应的最适生态范围。CA显示,13项水质指标中溶解氧(Dissolved Oxygen,DO)、氨氮(NH4-N)、亚硝氮(NO2-N)、氯化物(Cl)、五日生化需氧量(BOD5)、磷酸盐(PO4-P)与其它指标间的相关性较强(P0.05),其余指标间相关性较低(P0.05)。以相关性较弱的p H、电导率(Cond.)、硅酸盐(Si O2)、总磷(TP)、总氮(TN)、硝氮(NO3-N)、化学需氧量(CODKMn O4)进行CCA分析,排序显示影响附生硅藻的水质因子依次为Cond.、NO3-N、CODKMn O4、TP、TN,对应的生态最适范围分别为39.20—642.00μs/cm、0.46—2.77mg/L、1.0—5.5mg/L、0.02—0.64mg/L、0.48—3.43mg/L。研究表明,Cond、NO3-N、CODKMn O4、TP、TN是影响东江附生硅藻分布的主要水质因子,Cyclostephanos invisitatus、Gomphonema olivaceum、Nitzschia acicularis、N.capitellata、N.intermedia可以指示东江较高的电导率,Aulacoseira ambigua、A.lirata、Cyclotella meneghiniana、Cyclostephanos invisitatus、Eunotia minor、Nitzschia acicularis、N.Clausii、Pinnularia subcapitata是东江TN、TP污染的指示种。Nitzschia acicularis对TN、TP的耐受性最高,Navicula eidrigiana对TN、TP敏感性最强。     

黑藻对水体和沉积物理化性质的改善和营养元素的去除作用

通过人工模拟实验,研究了不同种植密度(50、100和150株/ m2)的黑藻(Hydrilla verticillata)对富营养湖泊水体和沉积物理化性质的改善和营养元素的去除作用。结果表明：种植黑藻能显著提高水体溶解氧(DO)和沉积物的氧化还原电位(Eh), DO由3.95mg/L提高到10.42mg/L;沉积物Eh提高了58.6-109.4mV。黑藻的生长有效地降低了水体和沉积物中的氮、磷含量,水体中TP降低了38.9%-57.1%;NH4+-N的含量降低了90.2%; 沉积物中TN的含量比试验前中期降低了70.0%。50、100和150株/ m2 三个种植密度间对水质和沉积物的改善效果差异不明显,说明当单位面积生物量达到一定程度后改善效果也趋于饱和,故在富营养湖泊的植被恢复中种植密度不宜过大。     

太平湖水库的浮游藻类与营养型评价

研究了太平湖水库的浮游藻类与营养类型。共发现藻类175种。绿藻门的种类最多(87种),占种类总数的50％。硅藻和蓝藻次之(分别为34和33种),各占19.4％和18.8％。其它5门藻合计21种,仅占种类总数的11.8％。根据营养型分析结果,太平湖目前水质优良,属中营养型水体;但是藻类的优势种类和总氮含量两项指标已达富营养水平,而且微囊藻(Microcystis)水体较多出现,表明该水体已有向富营养化发展的趋势。含磷量较低(总磷0.012mg/L)是浮游藻类进一步大量繁殖的限制因子。为防止水质恶化,除了应控制含氮化合物的污染外,限制磷的输入尤为重要。     

富营养水体中总氮与总磷比对苦草生长的影响

在室外受控实验条件下,研究了富营养水体中不同氮磷比(TN/TP)(12.5∶1、25∶1、50∶1)对苦草(Vallisneria spiralis)生长的影响.结果表明:当TN/TP为25∶1时,苦草的生长状态最好,苦草生物量的增长率最大,分别高于TN/TP为12.5∶1和50∶1时的54%和31%;当TN/TP为25∶1时,附着生物尤其是附着藻类的生长状态最差,对苦草生长的不利影响最小;可见,富营养水体中适宜于苦草生长的TN/TP为25∶1;TN/TP为25∶1这一比例的应用具有相对性,当水体营养浓度低于限制水平时,该比例适用,如果水体中营养盐浓度超过限制水平时,该比例则不适用.     

太湖水体叶绿素a含量与氮磷浓度的关系

基于太湖水体1993—2002年5—9月监测资料,进行了叶绿素a含量与总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)浓度关系的分区统计分析,探讨了太湖藻类生长的TN、TP适宜浓度。结果表明:太湖叶绿素a含量与TN、TP浓度的关系存在显著的空间差异;在梅梁湾和西北区,当TN、TP浓度较低时,叶绿素a含量与TN、TP浓度呈正相关;当TN、TP浓度较高时(梅梁湾TN、TP浓度分别超过5.4和0.31mg.L-1;西北区分别超过4.5和0.27mg.L-1),叶绿素a含量与TN、TP浓度呈负相关;在湖心区和贡湖区,叶绿素a含量与TN、TP浓度呈正相关,尤其当TP浓度超过0.1mg.L-1时,叶绿素a含量随TP浓度增加而上升;在东太湖和湖东滨岸区,随TN、TP浓度的升高,叶绿素a含量变化较小;在西南区,叶绿素a含量与TN浓度无显著相关关系,与TP浓度呈正相关;太湖藻类生长的适宜浓度是TN<5.4mg.L-1,TP为0.1～0.31mg.L-1。

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

肝癌中HBV和HCV基因和抗原的分布及意义

采用原位分子杂交方法检测HCV RNA及HBV X基因;采用免疫组织化学方法研究HCV核心抗原,非结构区C33c抗原及HBxAg在肝细胞肝癌中的定位及分布.结果表明(1)HCV RNA、HBV X基因在肝细胞肝癌组织检出率分别为40%(55/136)和82%(112/136).HCV RNA定位于癌细胞的胞浆内,阳性细胞呈散在、灶状及弥漫分布三种形式;HBV X基因在肝癌细胞中的分布呈胞浆型、核型及核浆型,阳性细胞也呈上述三种分布形式;(2)HCV C33c抗原、核心抗原在肝细胞肝癌中的阳性率为81%(133/164)及86%(141/164).C33c抗原定位于癌细胞及肝细胞的胞浆内;核心抗原既定位于癌细胞核中,又可定位于胞浆中.C33c抗原阳性细胞以灶状分布为主;而核心抗原阳性细
