三江平原湿地土壤磷形态转化动态

采用Hedley连续浸提法对三江平原湿地小叶章草甸土壤磷形态的季节动态进行研究,分析生长季土壤磷形态之间的相互转化及其可能的驱动机制。结果表明:小叶章草甸土壤有机磷(TPo)总量高于无机磷(TPi),NaOH溶液浸提的无机磷(NaOH-Pi)和有机磷形态(NaOH-Po)分别占总无机磷(TPi)和总有机磷(TPo)比重最大。各无机磷形态均有明显的季节变化,Resin-P和Conc.HCl-Pi季节变异性大,生长结束后含量较初期降低,其他形态无机磷含量有不同程度的升高。有机磷组分中NaOH-Po的季节波动最明显,生长季末期较初期含量降低,其他有机磷形态和Residual-P生长季初、末期含量变化不大,波动也相对较小。TP、TPo季节变化整体趋势相似,二者含量变化达到极显著相关。各无机磷形态变化主要受植物生长节律影响;水分、热量等环境条件也是磷的形态转化的重要驱动因子,并可能间接通过影响土壤动物、微生物等的活性推动土壤磷的循环。小叶章草甸土壤有机磷矿化释放的无机磷通常都首先被土壤金属氧化物固定,再经过无机磷之间的转化过程为生物利用,因此三江平原湿地土壤磷大量释放的可能性很小。     

林下养鸡年限对杨树人工林土壤磷素形态和生物有效性的影响

林下养殖是一种经济有效的林地空间利用方式, 但长期高负载的林下养殖对林地土壤性状究竟产生何种影响, 目前尚无定论。以不同林下养鸡年限(0年、1年、3年和5年)的美洲黑杨(Populus deltoides)人工林为对象, 采用Hedley磷素分级法, 分析其林地土壤的磷素组成和形态变化, 探讨林下养鸡年限对土壤磷库特征及其生物有效性的影响。结果表明, 0-5 cm土层土壤的全磷、碳酸氢钠提取态无机磷和有机磷(NaHCO3-Pi和NaHCO3-Po)以及氢氧化钠提取态无机磷和有机磷(NaOH-Pi和NaOH-Po)含量均随养鸡年限延长显著上升, 放养5年后达对照林分的1.4-2.4倍, 而5-10 cm土层4种磷素形态含量没有显著变化。0-10 cm土层土壤的稀盐酸提取态无机磷(D.HCl-Pi)和浓盐酸提取态无机磷(conc.HCl-Pi)含量在养鸡1年时显著下降, 之后随养鸡年限延长逐渐回升; 浓盐酸提取态有机磷(conc.HCl-Po)和残留态磷(Residual-P)两种磷素形态含量在各养鸡年限间差异不显著。0-10 cm土层土壤的总无机磷含量在养鸡1年后显著下降, 之后开始上升; 而总有机磷含量随养鸡年限延长显著上升, 受养鸡年限的影响较大。表层土壤的有效磷和活性磷含量随养鸡年限延长均有所上升, 且均与NaOH-Pi和NaOH-Po的含量呈极显著正相关, 表明NaOH-P, 尤其NaOH-Po是林地土壤中可供转化为有效养分的最主要潜在磷源。总体而言, 土壤中较易被分解利用的磷素形态含量随养鸡年限延长明显积累, 难分解的磷素形态含量则变化不显著, 同时林地表层土壤有效磷或活性磷的供应水平随养鸡年限延长得到明显改善, 土壤磷的生物有效性不断提高。

为分析岩溶石漠化区不同植被恢复模式土壤无机磷的形态特征,评价植被恢复的土壤供磷潜力,阐明有机碳及钙素在无机磷形态转化中的作用,选取研究区内8种有代表性的样地,采用蒋柏藩无机磷分级方法对土壤无机磷形态特征及影响因素进行研究。结果表明:研究区土壤全磷与速效磷含量分别在0.25—1.35 g/kg、1.05—53.01 mg/kg范围,无机磷总量在123.94—934.61 mg/kg,耕地与退耕地以及各退耕地之间全磷、速效磷、各形态无机磷含量水平差异明显,各退耕地磷素含量水平介于耕地与次生马尾松林地之间,退耕地中桃林地、花椒林地磷素含量水平较高、樟树林地、柳杉林地、撂荒草地次之、撂荒灌丛地较低。各样地土壤无机磷占全磷比例在51.2%—72.4%,不同形态的无机磷含量表现为O-PFe-PCa-PAl-P,其中Ca2-P、Al-P对速效磷的贡献率大,Fe-P、Ca8-P贡献较小,O-P、Ca10-P献率最小。不同活性土壤有机碳与不同形态钙素对各形态无机磷在总无机磷中比例的影响较大,p H、容重、粘粒含量、含水量等其它理化性质影响较小。     

不同退耕年限下菜子湖湿地土壤磷素组分特征变化

选取菜子湖区不同退耕年限(2、5、8、10a和20a)湿地为研究对象,以仍耕作油菜地和原始湿地为参照,分析了土壤全磷(TP)、有效磷(AP)、有机磷(OP)和无机磷(IP)各形态含量,探讨退耕还湖后湿地土壤磷素组分特征变化规律。结果表明:研究区土壤无机磷各形态含量大小顺序为:铁磷(Fe-P:73.55—391.76 mg/kg)钙磷(Ca-P:21.64—108.04 mg/kg)闭蓄态磷(O-P:17.15—29.57 mg/kg)铝磷(Al-P:5.84—25.97 mg/kg),其中Fe-P占了土壤无机磷总量的54.20%—74.13%;退耕还湖2—8a期间,湿地土壤Al-P、Fe-P和O-P含量有逐渐降低趋势,而退耕8—20a后逐渐上升,以Fe-P为主的这3形态磷左右着退耕后土壤无机磷的变化;Ca-P随退耕年限增加整体呈上升趋势,对土壤无机磷的贡献逐渐增加;无机磷占土壤全磷的比例为35.90%—67.27%,主导着退耕后湿地土壤全磷变化;有机磷占土壤全磷的17.82%—50.51%,在退耕2a后下降,随后开始逐渐上升,对退耕后湿地土壤磷库恢复的贡献逐渐增加;其中Fe-P、O-P和Al-P控制着退耕后土壤磷素有效性变化。退耕后水文条件、植被生长和土壤黏粒含量变化不仅影响退耕后湿地土壤磷素组分特征,也影响着退耕后湿地土壤磷素有效性。     

杭州湾滨海湿地不同植被类型沉积物磷形态变化特征

研究了杭州湾滨海湿地不同植被类型下0-5 cm和10-20 cm沉积物总磷(TP)、无机磷(IP)、有机磷(OP)及其形态变化特征,揭示湿地植被演替对沉积物磷形态的影响.结果表明,沉积物TP,互花米草(MC)显著高于其他植被类型.在IP中,可溶性松散态磷(Soluble and loosely bound P,SL-Pi)含量光滩(CK)最小、MC最大;还原态可溶性磷(Reductant soluble P,RS-Pi)含量芦苇(LW)和MC显著高于CK和海三棱藤草(BC);钙磷(Ca-Pi)含量CK和BC显著大于LW和MC.在OP中,活性有机磷( Labile Po,L-Po)含量最低、中等活性有机磷(Moderately labile Po,ML-Po)含量最高、非活性有机磷(Nonlabile Po,NL-Po)处于中间水平.IP是磷素的主要形态、占TP的74％ -89％,而Ca-Pi又是IP的主要形态、于湿地沉积物淤积初期通过吸附沉淀作用存留.杭州湾湿地植被自然演替过程中不同植物生物量积累和营养物质循环过程的变化导致沉积物中磷形态的差异.植被演替初期,BC显著改变0-5 cm沉积物磷形态,对10-20 cm沉积物无显著影响;植物演替后期的LW和MC促使0-5 cm沉积物有机磷快速积累、10-20 cm沉积物有机磷小幅增加,同时促进Ca-Pi向可溶性、活性态磷转变.     

低分子量有机酸对土壤磷活化及其机制研究进展

近30年来,过量施用磷肥导致土壤磷素累积继而引起水体富营养化等问题备受关注。植物根系分泌的低分子量有机酸能活化土壤积累态磷,提高土壤磷素有效性,已成为研究热点问题之一。本文结合国内外已有研究,从低分子量有机酸的类型、添加浓度、土壤类型和土壤磷素水平等方面总结了低分子量有机酸活化土壤无机磷与有机磷的效果,并通过对比土壤磷活化试验前后各形态磷的变化探讨了低分子量有机酸对土壤磷的活化机制。低分子量有机酸对土壤无机磷的活化主要是促进了土壤中有效性低的无机磷形态向有效性较高的形态转化,而低分子量有机酸对土壤有机磷的活化结论尚不一致,活化机制也不明确,仍需进一步研究。未来研究应关注低分子量有机酸与磷肥之间的协同增效机制,并进一步探索低分子量有机酸对土壤磷素(特别是有机磷)的活化机制。

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.     

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.

Detection of EBV and HHV6 in the Brain Tissue of Patients with Rasmussen’s Encephalitis

Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) is a rare pediatric neurological disorder, and the exact etiology is not clear. Viral infection may be involved in the pathogenesis of RE, but conflicting results have reported. In this study, we evaluated the expression of both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human herpes virus (HHV) 6 antigens in brain sections from 30 patients with RE and 16 control individuals by immunohistochemistry. In the RE group, EBV and HHV6 antigens were detected in 56.7% (17/30) and 50% (15/30) of individuals, respectively. In contrast, no detectable EBV and HHV6 antigen expression was found in brain tissues of the control group. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in 20.0% (6/30) of individuals. In particular, a 4-year-old boy had a typical clinical course, including a medical history of viral encephalitis, intractable epilepsy, and hemispheric atrophy. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in neurons and astrocytes in the brain tissue, accompanied by a high frequency of CD8⁺ T cells. Our results suggest that EBV and HHV6 infection and the activation of CD8⁺ T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of RE.     

Perinatal Vertical Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Ruili,a Town on the Border between China and Myanmar

正Dear Editor,Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arbovirus in the family of Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus, is transmitted by the A.aegyptii or A. albopictus mosquito, and causes disease in humans characterized by fever, rash, and arthralgia (Silva and Dermody 2017; Suhrbier 2019). It was first reported in 1953 in Tanzania, and caused only a few outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia in last century. However, in the epidemic in 2004, CHIKV acquired mutations that conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito(Schuffenecker et al. 2006). Since then, it has successively caused outbreaks in Africa, the Indian Ocean, South East Asia, the South America, and Europe (Zeller et al. 2016).     

Development of a Novel Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2

In conclusion, the novel visual RT-LAMP assay is a simple, rapid, and sensitive approach for detection of SARS-CoV-2, and it is ready for application in primary care and community hospitals or health care centers, and even patients' own houses in response to the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic because the assay does not require sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. Furthermore, it is also ready to be used in fields for screening samples from wild animals and environments to facilitate the identification of potential intermediate hosts that mediate the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from bats to humans.
