用荧光物质浸泡标记胭脂鱼仔、稚鱼耳石

用茜素络合物和盐酸四环素溶液分别对胭脂鱼（Myxocyprinus asiaticus）仔、稚鱼浸泡标记,结果表明,100～200mg／L的茜素络合物溶液浸泡24h对胭脂鱼仔、稚鱼耳石有很好的标记效果。相同浸泡浓度下,随着日龄的增长,耳石上的荧光反应强度降低。三对耳石中,微耳石和矢耳石对茜素络合物较敏感,星耳石敏感性则较低。盐酸四环素溶液对仔、稚鱼耳石的标记效果很差,浸泡液浓度为100mg／L和120mg/L时,仅能在微耳石上检测到较弱的荧光标记,而150mg／L及以上浓度的浸泡液对稚鱼有较高的致死作用。因此,茜素络合物是对胭脂鱼早期鱼苗进行化学标记比较合适的荧光物质,而盐酸四环素不适于标记该鱼的耳石。在对标记鱼进行荧光检测时,矢耳石和微耳石是适合的材料。     

鲫幼鱼耳石荧光标记效果

为确认茜素络合物对鲫（Carassius auratus）耳石进行有效标记的可行性,以便为鲫甚至其他鲤科鱼类标志放流技术的开发及效果评估提供一定的借鉴,本研究以孵出后90 d的鲫幼鱼为研究对象,设置单一浓度（100 mg/L）的茜素络合物浸泡标记5 d,分析茜素络合物在耳石上的沉积情况以及不同耳石在不同后续饲养天数的动态变化。结果表明,矢耳石、微耳石和星耳石上在可见光、绿色和蓝色激发光下都检测到了良好的茜素络合物标记环,标记率和存活率均为100%。但不同耳石的茜素络合物标记效果不同,荧光下,星耳石的标记效果最显著,微耳石次之;可见光下,微耳石的标记效果最好,星耳石次之。随着后续饲养天数的延长,可见光下标记逐渐减弱,至20 d时基本消失,而在绿色和蓝色激光下标记环荧光强度无减弱迹象,能长久保持,且在蓝色激发光下标记环更易被观测到。上述结果结合鲫生长、存活和行为正常等情况综合显示,在100 mg/L茜素络合物溶液中浸泡标记鲫幼鱼5 d,其耳石可以获得满意的标记效果。     

滇池金线鲃(Sinocyclocheilus grahami)耳石的茜素红及茜素络合物标志

该文使用不同浓度梯度(50~200 mg/L)和浸泡时间(4~24 h)的茜素络合物(ALC)及茜素红(ARS)水溶液对6、20及90日龄滇池金线鲃(Sinocyclocheilus grahami)仔稚鱼进行标志。两种标志物均能在其耳石上形成深红色标记环带,510~560 nm绿色激发光下,标志带呈猩红色荧光反应。50 mg/L ALC或ARS溶液浸泡6日龄仔鱼8 h、50 mg/L ALC溶液或100 mg/L ARS溶液浸泡20日龄仔鱼24 h及100 mg/L ALC或150 mg/L ARS溶液浸泡90日龄稚鱼24 h,可见光下即可见清晰深红色标记带。50 mg/L ARS或ALC溶液浸泡6日龄仔鱼4 h或浸泡20、90日龄仔鱼24 h,绿色激光下即绿色可见猩红色标记带。且以上浸泡条件均可保证100%标记率和存活率。     

用荧光物质浸泡标记重口裂腹鱼仔鱼耳石

用荧光物质对重口裂腹鱼仔鱼浸泡标记表明,200～300 mg/L的茜素络合物溶液浸泡12 h对重口裂腹鱼仔鱼耳石有很好的标记效果,荧光和可见光下均能检测到明显的标记环;100～150 mg/L的标记能检测到荧光标记环,但可见光下标记环较微弱.相同浸泡时间,随着浸泡浓度的增加,耳石上标记环强度增加;相同浸泡浓度,随着浸泡时间的增加,耳石上标记环强度增加.3对耳石中,微耳石和矢耳石对茜素络合物较敏感,星耳石敏感性较低.盐酸四环素的标记效果很差,浸泡浓度为50～160 mg/L时,3对耳石上均不能检测到标记环,同时110～160 mg/L的盐酸四环素浸泡液对仔鱼有较高的致昏或致死作用.因此,茜素络合物是对重口裂腹鱼鱼苗进行化学标记比较合适的荧光物质,而盐酸四环素不适合于标记该鱼的耳石.     

鳡鱼仔稚鱼耳石的标记和其日轮的确证

用茜素络合物对鳡鱼仔鱼进行了浸泡标记,耳石上能检测到橘红色荧光标记环。100mg/L茜素络合物溶液的标记效果较差;120mg/L和150mg/L溶液浸泡后微耳石的标记率很高,矢耳石和星耳石的标记率低。标记后耳石上的生长轮数与饲养天数间呈一一对应关系,相关方程为:N=0.2663 0.9276D(n=68,r~2=0.9664)。方程的斜率0.9276与1无显著差异,证明生长轮确系日轮。鱼体长与微耳石、矢耳石及星耳石的直径间呈显著的线性关系,相关方程为:BL=66.8723LD 2.7064(n=73,r~2=0.8867),BL=22.7839SD 6.6066(n=49,r~2=0.8525),BL=47.6079AD 3.5660(n=71,r~2=0.9012)。     

鲤稚鱼耳石锶标记效果

对鲤稚鱼开展了不同浸泡浓度和不同标记时间梯度的SrCl₂·6H₂O暴露标记试验,以确认其耳石Sr标记的可行性及基本条件.首先,基于4个浓度(0、4、8、12 mg·L^-1)水平的SrCl₂·6H₂O溶液,浸泡标记2 d来筛选基本浸泡标记浓度.然后,在SrCl₂·6H₂O为8 mg·L^-1浓度下,基于5个浸泡时间(1、2、3、4、5 d)来筛选基本浸泡标记时间.电子探针分布分析结果显示:对照组(0 mg·L^-1)耳石Sr/Ca比值低且稳定,标记组均出现了高Sr/Ca比值区.对照组耳石剖面为均一的低Sr蓝色图谱,而标记组耳石上均有高Sr红色标记环带,且标记成功率为100%.试验期间,标记组和对照组的死亡率、平均全长和平均体质量无显著差异,表明Sr标记对供试鱼无不良影响.由于耳石上清晰、完整的高Sr红色标记环带出现在标记浓度为8 mg·L^-1及以上,标记时间为2 d及以上,故建议分别选择8 mg·L^-1和2 d为基本浸泡标记浓度和基本浸泡标记时间.本研究证实耳石Sr标记技术对鲤稚鱼具有很好的可行性.

荧光物质浸泡标记稀有鲫和彭泽鲫仔、稚鱼

研究了茜素络合物和盐酸四环素对稀有Ｊｕ鲫和彭泽仔,稚鱼进行浸泡标记的方法和效果。茜素络合物在浸泡浓度５０－１００ｍｇ／Ｌ,浸泡时间持续６－２４ｈ的范围内,对两种鱼都有很好的标记效果;盐酸四环素在浸泡浓度１５０－２５ｍｇ／Ｌ,浸泡时间１２－２４ｈｘ的范围内,对彭泽鲫有较好的标记效果,但对稀有Ｊｕ鲫有极高的死率。在荧光显微镜下观察,茜素络合物呈橘红色,盐酸四环素标记区呈金黄色荧光反应。     

溶解氧对线纹海马幼鱼氨氮耐受性的影响及氨氮胁迫下鳃、肝脏组织结构的变化

为了解氨氮对线纹海马(Hippocampus erectus)幼鱼的毒理影响,本实验探讨了在正常溶解氧(4.32~5.12 mg·L-1)和高溶解氧(8.22~9.46 mg·L-1)条件下,线纹海马幼鱼的氨氮半致死浓度,以及6、9、12 mg·L-1的氨氮溶液胁迫下线纹海马幼鱼的鳃、肝脏组织结构的变化。结果表明:正常溶解氧条件下,氨氮对线纹海马幼鱼96 h半致死浓度(96 h LC50)为10.22 mg·L-1,安全浓度(SC)为1.02 mg·L-1;非离子氨的半致死浓度(96 h LC50)为0.16 mg·L-1,安全浓度(SC)为0.016 mg·L-1;高溶解氧条件下,氨氮对幼鱼的96 h LC50为12.68 mg·L-1,SC为1.27 mg·L-1;非离子氨96 h LC50为0.2 mg·L-1,SC为0.02mg·L-1。氨氮胁迫造成线纹海马幼鱼鳃组织在不同时间出现鳃丝血管扩张、泌氯细胞增生,鳃小片基部毛细血管破裂、红细胞溢出、鳃组织充血变性、卷曲变短、呼吸上皮细胞变性脱落等现象,并使肝脏肝细胞出现肿胀、细胞核肿大,肝血窦扩张、细胞轮廓模糊等组织变化;随着胁迫物浓度和胁迫时间增加,肝组织出现水样变性、空泡化、溶解,导致肝组织变得松散无序。综上,适当提高溶解氧能有效减轻氨氮对线纹海马幼鱼的毒性,超过阈值的氨氮胁迫会损害线纹海马幼鱼的鳃和肝脏组织结构。     

鲈鲤早期鱼苗的耳石标记研究

为研究鲈鲤早期鱼苗耳石标记的可行性, 先采用高温水(20.8±0.3)℃和低温水(10.8±1.2)℃交替饲养对20日龄鲈鲤进行热标记, 然后将经热标记的35和45日龄鲈鲤浸泡在50—200 mg/L的茜素络合物(AC)或茜素红S(ARS)溶液中进行荧光标记。热标记的耳石生长轮清晰可见, 明显区别于其他轮纹, 微耳石热标记轮轮纹宽度(IW)和高温期持续时间(T)的线性回归方程为IW=0.16462+0.24762T。经荧光物质浸泡后鲈鲤耳石在绿光下均能检测到橘红色标记; AC标记质量受溶液浓度影响显著(P<0.05), 受全长的影响不显著(P>0.05), 微耳石、矢耳石和星耳石间的标记质量差异显著(P<0.05); ARS标记质量受全长和溶液浓度影响不显著(P>0.05), 微耳石、矢耳石和星耳石间的标记质量差异显著(P<0.05)。研究结果表明, 耳石热标记、荧光标记及两者结合使用均可用于大规模标记鲈鲤早期鱼苗。     

Distribution of N,P, K,Ca, Mg,S, Zn,Fe, Mn and Cu in groundnut

Summary Concentration of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S in summer groundnut crop was higher than in kharif while Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu contents were higher in summer crop. Kernel's N, P and Zn; Leaflet's Ca and Mn; Stem's K and Fe; Root's S and Cu and Petiole's Mg contents were highest. Shell's N, P, K, Mg, S, Zn and Cu; Kernel's Ca, Fe and Mn contents were the least. N, P, K, S, Zn and Cu concentrations decreased linearly as the crop grew. Ca, Mg, Fe and Mn concentrations did not display any distinct pattern. Ca concentration was positively correlated with pod yield in both the seasons.     

Uniform hypothesis of cell behavior--movement, contact inhibition of movement, adhesion, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, division, contact inhibition of division, fusion.

The cell has been represented as a charged liquid drop. Contrary to the DLVO-theory, the effect of the surface potential upon the value of the interfacial tension of the cell membrane has also been taken into consideration. The cell membrane has visco-elastic properties and its constituents may move against each other. Cell movement is caused by the appearance of a small number of the electrically charged constituents of the cell membrane on the leading edge of the cell. This produces a local decrease in the surface tension and the cell membrane expansion. At the moment of contact between two cells proton transfers occur between the strongly negatively charged microvilli of one cell and the body of the other, analogous to a condenser breakdown. This, through the effect on the surface tension, causes contact inhibition of movement. The distribution of the proton dissociable groups modifies the interaction between the cells (differentiation) and between the cell and the substratum (adhesion). Adsorption of the charged compounds at the surface of the cell membrane, decreasing the surface potential and increasing the surface tension, causes the phenomena of chemotaxis, phagocytosis and pinocytosis. Cell division, considered in the terms of the surface energy, requires an adequate supply of considerable quantities of energy inversely proportional to the surface potential value. In case of a reduction of the distance between the cells, their surface potential and the energetic barrier of the cell division processes increases, and causes contact inhibition of cell division. Due to their high charge, division of neoplastic cells is inhibited much later than division of normal cells, or is completely ininhibited due to geometric conditions. Fusion of the cell membrane in the intra-cellular and intercellular processes is a reverse process in relation to the cell division.     

The effect of malathion,diazinon, and various concentrations of zinc,copper, nickel,lead, iron,and mercury on fish

Acute and chronic toxicity tests for malathion, diazinon, copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), and iron (Fe) were conducted. Mortalities ofBarilius vagra andCyprinus carpio (common carp) were variable but LC50-96 hr were similar for pesticides. AdultB. vagra seem to be more sensitive to malathion than juvenile carp. Both juvenile carp and adultB. vagra were extremely sensitive to diazinon. Long-term exposure to pesticides modified morphology and behavior. The LC50-96 values for Cu, Hg, and Pb were 0.3, 0.16, and 0.44, respectively, for smaller fish and 1.0, 0.77, and 1.33, respectively, for larger fish. Replicate LC50 values for Zn, Ni, and Fe were somewhat variable, and for these metals, the size of the fish seemed to affect response because LC50 values increased as fish size increased. Cooper, Pb, Zn, and Fe residues following exposure to sublethal concentrations of these metals for 15 d were significantly greater in whole juvenile common carp than in controls.     

The Effect of Age and Gender on Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Sr, V, and Zn Contents in Rib Bone of Healthy Humans

The effect of age and gender on major, minor, and trace element contents in the intact rib bone of 80 relatively healthy 15–55-year-old women and men was investigated. Contents or upper limit of contents of 16 chemical elements in the rib bone were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Mean values (M?±?SΕΜ) for the mass fraction of Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Na, P, S, Sr, and Zn (milligram per kilogram of dry bone) were as follows: 2.54?±?0.16, 171,400?±?4,050, 1.35?±?0.22, 140?±?11, 1,874?±?71, 0.049?±?0.011, 2,139?±?38, 5,378?±?88, 75,140?±?1,660, 1,881?±?51, 291?±?20, and 92.8?±?1.5, respectively. The upper limits of contents of Al, B, Mn, and V were <7.20, <0.65, <0.36, and <0.03, respectively. Statistically significant tendency for the Ca, Mg, and P content to decrease with age was found in the human rib bone, regardless of gender. The mass fraction of Fe in the male rib bone increases with age. It was shown that higher Ca, Mg, Na, P, and Sr mass fractions as well as lower Fe content were typical of female ribs as compared to those in male ribs.     

Further studies of the sieve-element plastids of theCaryophyllales includingBarbeuia,Corrigiola, Lyallia,Microtea, Sarcobatus,andTelephium

The sieve-element plastids of 69 species of theCaryophyllales were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. All contained the specific subtype-P3 plastids characterized by a peripheral ring of protein filaments. The presence or absence of an additional central protein crystal and their shape being either polygonal or globular as well as the average sizes of the sieve-element plastids are useful features in the characterization of some families.—Barbeuia contains sieve-element plastids that confirm its placement within thePhytolaccaceae. Lyallia differs fromHectorella by including small starch grains in their sieve-element plastids, which otherwise by their globular crystals negate a closer connection to theCaryophyllaceae. The lack of a central protein crystal in its form-P3fs plastids placesMicrotea best within theChenopodiaceae. Sarcobatus, a so far uncontested member of theChenopodiaceae, contains form-P3cf plastids, i.e., including a central crystal not found elsewhere in this family.Telephium andCorrigiola, shifted back and forth betweenMolluginaceae andCaryophyllaceae, have form-P3cf(s) plastids with a polygonal crystal which favor their placement within theCaryophyllaceae.     

Translocation of radionuclides of Co, Zn, Se, Rb, Y, Tc, and Re into organs of tomato plant via roots

The translocation of the radionuclides of Co, Zn, Se, Rb, Y, Tc, and Re into red and green fruits, flesh, seeds, rind, calyxes, flower, leaves, and stems via the root of the tomato plant at two different growth stages was studied by a multitracer technique. The contents (%/g) of Co, Zn, Se, and Y in the roots were the highest among the organs, but only small amounts of them were translocated into the aerial parts after 5 d cultivation with a multitracer. In contrast, Rb, Tc, and Re showed rapid translocation into the stems and leaves from the root. In the plants cultivated for 95 d with a multitracer, Zn, Se, and Rb distributed in all of the organs, Co in the organs except for flowers, and Y, Tc, and Re in the limited organs. The translocation ratio of the elements for the edible part of the plants cultivated for 95 d decreased in the order of Rb>Zn>Co≈Se>Tc≈Y>Re. The transfer factor of the elements for tomato fruit was determined to be in the range of 10⁻⁵–10⁻². The characteristic translocation behavior of the elements gives us fundamental information on the assessment of pollutant uptake by the tomato plant.     

Simultaneous measurement of the trace elements Al, As, B, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Rb, Se, Sr, and Zn in human serum and their reference ranges by ICP-MS

The goal of this article was to establish reference ranges of the concentration of trace elements in human serum and to compare these results with those reported by other authors. We describe the sample preparation and measurement conditions that allow the rapid, precise, and accurate determination of Al, As, B, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Rb, Se, Sr, and Zn in human serum samples (n=110) by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Accuracy and precision were determined by analyzing three reconstituted reference serum samples by comparison with other methods and by the standard addition procedure. The advantages of the ICP-MS method include short time of analysis of the elements mentioned, low detection limit, high precision, and high accuracy. Disadventages include a high risk of contamination due to the presence of some of the elements of interest in the environment, the relatively delicate sample handling, and the high cost of the equipment.
