四川白蚁新纪录——狭胸散白蚁

2012年3月26日在对成都市青羊区青华路37号老成都公馆菜的白蚁危害调查过程中,发现该饭店白蚁危害严重,现场采集白蚁标本,经鉴定为狭胸散白蚁Reticulitermes angustatus He et Qiu.该种此前报道仅分布于贵州省,且只有形态描述.此次在成都地区首次发现狭胸散白蚁,为四川白蚁种类新纪录,还发现该种白蚁对房屋建筑危害严重,应引起白蚁防治工作者的高度重视.     

氟虫腈、吡虫啉作为黑翅土白蚁诱杀药剂的效果

毒力测定结果表明,0.025~0.4μg/mL氟虫腈和吡虫啉分别在药后3 d和5 d对黑翅土白蚁Odontotermes formosanus表现出明显的毒杀效果,氟虫腈和吡虫啉药后1 d的LC50分别为药后5 d的509倍和63.8倍,2种药剂对黑翅土白蚁的毒杀效果均比较缓慢。毒性传递试验表明,0.5μg/g毒沙处理白蚁1 h后,氟虫腈和吡虫啉的致死毒性均可被传毒白蚁传递给受毒白蚁。驱避作用试验表明,50μg/mL氟虫腈对黑翅土白蚁无明显的驱避作用,而50μg/mL吡虫啉对黑翅土白蚁表现出了明显的驱避作用。可见,2种供试药剂中,氟虫腈是较理想的白蚁诱杀药剂。     

一种菊酯类复合剂对黑胸散白蚁体内CarEs和Ca-ATPase活性的影响

以黑胸散白蚁Reticulitermes chinensis Snyder为试验材料,研究了一种白蚁防治复合剂中的主要成分对白蚁体内羧酸酯酶（CarEs）和钙 腺苷三磷酸酶（Ca-ATPase）的影响。结果表明：氯菊酯在终浓度为1.66×10^-4 mol·L^-1以下时,对羧酸酯酶无明显抑制作用;八氯二丙醚和壬基酚聚氧乙烯醚在此浓度下都对羧酸酯酶表现出明显抑制作用,其IC₅₀分别为7.1148×10^-5 mol·L^-1和7.3373×10^-4 mol·L^-1;氯菊酯对Ca-ATPase表现出较强抑制作用,IC₅₀为5.11×10^-7 mol·L^-1。认为Ca-ATPase是黑胸散白蚁体内拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂作用的主要靶标之一。     

台湾乳白蚁和黄胸散白蚁对三种饵剂的嗅觉行为反应

利用“Y”型嗅觉仪,测定了台湾乳白蚁Coptotermesformosanus和黄胸散白蚁Reticulitermesflaviceps对灭蚁灵,氟虫胺,氟铃脲等3种饵剂在不同浓度下的嗅觉行为反应。结果表明2种白蚁对0. 2 5和0 . 5 %灭蚁灵;0 .2 5 ,0 .75和1 %氟虫胺;0 . 5 %氟铃脲均具有明显的趋性,且趋性差异不显著。因此,可将氟虫胺及氟铃脲作为灭蚁灵的替代品来防治白蚁。此外,台湾乳白蚁对1 %灭蚁灵,0 . 5 %氟虫胺,1 %氟铃脲具忌避性;而黄胸散白蚁对0 . 75和1 %灭蚁灵;0. 2 5 ,0. 75和1 %氟铃脲具忌避性,表明2种白蚁对饵剂的嗅觉反应既有相似性,又有不同点;台湾乳白蚁产生趋性的饵剂浓度大于黄胸散白蚁。因此用饵剂防治白蚁时,需根据不同种类的白蚁,采用不同的浓度进行防治。

植物提取物对黄曲条跳甲成虫毒作用的研究

研究24种植物提取物对黄曲条跳甲成虫的毒杀活性.结果表明处理后72h,供试植物提取物中的7种对黄曲条跳甲成虫有毒作用,但毒杀活性较低,其中烟碱对黄曲条跳甲成虫的毒杀效果最好,累积死亡率为3.33%;假莲翘Duranta repens 乙醇得取物对黄曲条跳甲成虫的毒杀效果最差,累积死亡率为1.12%;其余提取物对黄曲条跳甲成虫的毒杀效果居中,累积死亡率为1.67%-2.78%.因此,毒杀作用并不是供试植物提取物对黄曲条跳甲成虫的主要控制机理.

黑胸散白蚁对不同材料及3种处理方法偏好性的研究

为了寻找对黑胸散白蚁具有高诱食性的物质及处理方法对其取食偏好性的影响,本研究共选取了9种材料,通过测定其嗅觉反应,筛选出选择系数0.1的玉米杆、杨木和雪松;然后,对这3种材料分别进行了蒸煮、自然腐朽和人工接菌处理,测定其嗅觉反应并进行选择性取食量验证。结果表明,蒸煮处理可提高玉米杆和杨木对黑胸散白蚁的引诱力,但对雪松无此作用,并且蒸煮处理对选择性取食量无显著影响;腐朽处理可提高玉米杆、杨木和雪松的引诱力,但仅对玉米杆和杨木的选择性取食量存在显著影响;人工接种3种木腐菌,均可提高玉米杆对黑胸散白蚁的引诱力,且能够显著提高散白蚁对密粘褶菌玉米杆粉培养物和杨木粉培养物的选择性取食量。结果表明,玉米杆和杨木对黑胸散白蚁具有较好的引诱性,且经过腐朽处理或人工接种密粘褶菌后,可明显改善其诱食效果。因此,在研制针对黑胸散白蚁的毒饵技术时,可采用这两种诱食材料作为基饵。

糖皮质激素非基因组效应的研究

在过去的几十年间,人们认为糖皮质激素（glucocorticoid,GC）仅仅是通过改变基因的表达来发挥其生理作用,这个过程需要几个小时来完成。然而,近年来越来越多的证据表明GC对激素分泌、神经元兴奋性、机体行为及细胞形态、糖类代谢等具备快速效应,这些过程往往在数秒钟或者分种内完成,这种作用机制被称为GC的非基因组作用机制。GC的非基因组作用主要可能通过两种不同的机制起作用：（1）通过细胞膜上或者细胞质内结构未知的糖皮质激素受体（glucocorticoid Recptor,GR）来发挥非基因组作用,即为特异性非基因组效应,（2）GC主要通过改变细胞膜理化作用来发挥效应。也称为非特异性非基因组效应（non-specific nongenomic effects,NSNE）。本文通过阐述近年来GC的非基因组的作用的最新研究进展并且讨论了这些非基因组作用临床治疗过程中的联系。对糖皮质激素基因组和非基因组作用机制的深入了解有助于指导我们在临床合理用药并减少其副作用。

Bacterial survival in evaporating deposited droplets on a teflon-coated surface

Understanding of bacterial survival in aerosols is crucial for controlling infection transmission via airborne aerosols and/or large droplets routes. The cell viability changes of four bacteria species (Escherichia coli K12 JM109; Acinetobacter sp. 5A5; Pseudomonas oleovorans X5; and Staphylococcus aureus X8), three Gram-negative and one Gram-positive, in a large evaporating droplet of size 1,800 μm in diameter on teflon-coated slides were measured using the LIVE/DEAD BacLight solution and a microscope. Droplets of three levels of salinity (0, 0.9, and 36% w/v) were tested. All four species survived well during the droplet evaporation process, but died mostly at the time when droplets were dried out at 40–45 min. The final bacteria survival rate after droplets were completely dried was dependent on bacteria species and the salinity of the suspension solution. Droplet evaporation over the first 35–40 min had no adverse effect on bacterial survival for the droplets tested. The lethal effect of desiccation was found to be the most important death mechanism.     

Across species‐pool aggregation alters grassland productivity and diversity

Plant performance is determined by the balance of intra‐ and interspecific neighbors within an individual's zone of influence. If individuals interact over smaller scales than the scales at which communities are measured, then altering neighborhood interactions may fundamentally affect community responses. These interactions can be altered by changing the number (species richness), abundances (species evenness), and positions (species pattern) of the resident plant species, and we aimed to test whether aggregating species at planting would alter effects of species richness and evenness on biomass production at a common scale of observation in grasslands. We varied plant species richness (2, 4, or 8 species and monocultures), evenness (0.64, 0.8, or 1.0), and pattern (planted randomly or aggregated in groups of four individuals) within 1 × 1 m plots established with transplants from a pool of 16 tallgrass prairie species and assessed plot‐scale biomass production and diversity over the first three growing seasons. As expected, more species‐rich plots produced more biomass by the end of the third growing season, an effect associated with a shift from selection to complementarity effects over time. Aggregating conspecifics at a 0.25‐m scale marginally reduced biomass production across all treatments and increased diversity in the most even plots, but did not alter biodiversity effects or richness–productivity relationships. Results support the hypothesis that fine‐scale species aggregation affects diversity by promoting species coexistence in this system. However, results indicate that inherent changes in species neighborhood relationships along grassland diversity gradients may only minimally affect community (meter) – scale responses among similarly designed biodiversity–ecosystem function studies. Given that species varied in their responses to local aggregation, it may be possible to use such species‐specific results to spatially design larger‐scale grassland communities to achieve desired diversity and productivity responses.     

片断森林植物多样性及其保护和恢复价值

森林片断化是导致生物多样性丧失最严重的单一因素。在片断森林中植物多样性除与片断面积有关外,还受边缘效应、瞬时取样效应、驰豫效应、远距离扩散的挽救效应以及背景生态系统的性质等影响。本文阐述了在这些综合因素影响下,片断森林中植物种类、丰富、性质的变化。由于这些综合因素的影响,不少片断森林尚有较高的保护价值,但需建立合适的评价体系和标准。片断森林在确定生态恢复目标、为恢复实践提供种源等方面也有重要价值。提出了对片断森林的保护措施。     

压力波对听觉器官的致伤作用——Ⅱ.压力波参数与伤情的关系

压力峰值 P、脉宽 T 和发数 N 是决定压力波致伤作用的基本参量,它们之一的增大一般都导致伤情的加重,但中耳损伤和内耳损伤各有不同的变化规律。当 N 为1、T 在几毫秒之内时,170dB 左右的 P 可以开始对豚鼠的中耳致伤,P 增至185dB 左右时中耳损伤便达到最大。T 和 N 的增大虽也可稍降低中耳的致伤阈或使损伤稍加重,但其主要作用则是加重内耳的伤情。若将听觉器官的损伤从最轻到最重分成5级,则每当 P 增高3—4dB,或 T 或 N 增3—5倍,伤情大体上加重一级。因此若 T 和 N 不变,压力峰值超出安全界线15dB 便可能引起严重的听觉损伤。在数秒到数十分钟的范围内,发射的间隔时间对伤情的影响不大。但当发射的间隔时间缩短到<1s(如100ms)时,对一定发数的总伤情便可稍减轻,此结果可用中耳反射的保护作用来解释。

Stomach cancer incidence trends in selected Latin America countries: Age,period, and birth-cohort effects

Backgroundto explore the age, period, and birth-cohort effects on stomach cancer incidence trends during 3 decades in selected Latin American countries.Methodsa time-trend study was performed using Cancer Incidence in Five Continents data from high-quality population-based cancer registries(PBCRs) in Latin American countries. Crude and age-standardized incidence rates(ASRIs) were calculated. Time trends in ASRIs were assessed using the average annual percentage change(AAPC). Age-period-cohort effects were estimated by Poisson regression for individuals aged between 20 and 79 years with stomach cancer informed by PBCRs from 1983 to 2012 in Cali(Colombia); from 1982 to 2011 in Costa Rica; and from 1988 to 2012 for Goiania(Brazil) and Quito(Ecuador). The goodness-of-fit model was tested using the deviance of the models.Resultsa decrease in age-standardized incidence rates was observed for both genders in all populations covered by PBCRs, except for young men from Cali(AAPC 3.89 95 %IC: 1.32–7.29). The age effect was statistically significant in all areas, and the curve slope reached peaks in the older age groups. The cohort effect was observed in all PBCRs. Regarding the period effect, an increased ratio rate was observed for both genders in Costa Rica(1997–2001 women RR 1.11 95 %CI: 1.05–1.17; men RR 1.12 95 %CI: 1.08–1.17) and Goiânia(2003–2007 women RR 1.21 95 %CI: 1.08–1.35; men RR 1.09 95 %CI: 1.01–1.20), while Quito(1998–2002 women RR 0.89 95 %CI: 0.81–0.98; men RR 0.86 95 %CI: 0.79–0.93) presented a decrease.Conclusionthe present study showed a decreasing gastric cancer trend for over the past 30 years with gender and geographic variations. Such a decrease seems to be mainly a result of cohort effects, suggesting that the economic market opening process led to changes in the risk factor exposures over successive generations. These geographic and gender variations may reflect cultural/ethnic/gender differences and differences in dietary and smoking rate patterns. However, an increased incidence was observed for young men in Cali, and additional studies are needed to determine the cause of the increasing incidence in this group.     

Anti-inflammatory,anti-oxidant effect and cytotoxicity of ocimum sanctum intra oral gel for combating periodontal diseases

It is of interest to evaluate the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant effect and cytotoxicity of Ocimum sanctum (an Indian herb, Thulsi) intra oral gel in combating periodontal diseases. Hence, 2% of O. sanctum gel was prepared with Carbopol940 soaked in purified water containing 0.2% w/v sodium benzoate overnight. Hydroxy proplyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) solution was mixed with propylene glycol using using tissue homogenizer. Anti-oxidant effect was analyzed using DPPH radical assay and anti-inflammatory effect was assessed using the inhibition of albumin denaturation assay. Ocimum sanctum gel with various dilutions from10 micro litres to 50 micro litres showed exponential increase in percentage of inhibition from 60.9 to 72.2 exhibiting antioxidant activity. The anti-inflammatory effect of Ocimum sanctum gel showed comparatively equivalent effect with standard diclofenac gel with values ranging from 76.6 for 50 micro liters of Ocimum sanctum gel and 89.6 for standard gel at 50 micro liters. Ocimum sanctum showed less toxicity towards brine shrimp nauplii. Thus we show that Ocimum sanctum gel showed potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect and less toxic to brine shrimp nauplii as a promising agent for the treatment of periodontal diseases.
