鄱阳湖湿地土壤水稳定同位素变化特征

土壤水稳定同位素组成的时空变化反映了区域降水与前期水分的混合及蒸散发过程。2013年7-9月对鄱阳湖湿地保护区3个断面不同土地覆盖下0-2 m剖面土壤水进行分层采样,以及采集修水和贛江的河水,测定其氢、氧稳定同位素,分析土壤水稳定同位素沿土壤剖面的变化规律、土壤水运动机制及其主要补给来源。研究结果表明,鄱阳湖采样区3个断面土壤水同位素δ~(18)O值变化范围-10.63‰—-1.17‰,其中7月份的土壤水δ~(18)O均值最小,8、9月份土壤水δ~(18)O均值相对较大。表层(0-60 cm)土壤水同位素富集可能因为蒸发作用,深层土壤水同位素组成变化因降水入渗与前期水分混合作用。不同土地覆盖表层土壤水同位素变化较大,随着深度的增加,同位素变化减少。从水分溯源上,断面一的土壤水同位素组成主要受降水的影响,断面二的土壤水同位素组成主要受赣江和降水的影响,而断面三则主要受鄱阳湖水体和降水的影响。研究结果可为鄱阳湖区域地下水资源的评价提供参考     

北京土石山区水分在土壤-植物-大气连续体(SPAC)中的稳定同位素特征

氢氧稳定同位素是广泛存在于自然界水体中的环境同位素,其在不同水体中组成特征的差异可以指示水分循环过程及植物用水机制.本研究在北京山区选取了两种主要的绿化树种——常绿针叶林侧柏和落叶阔叶林栓皮栎为研究对象,通过对降水、土壤水、泉水、植物茎干水和叶片水同位素的变化特征进行分析,讨论了水分在大气-土壤-植物连续体中的运动过程.结果表明: 研究区大气降水线方程为δD=7.17δ¹⁸O+1.45(R²=0.93), 土壤蒸发线方程为δD=3.85δ¹⁸O-38.02(R²=0.76), 降水入渗补给土壤水的过程中存在一定程度的蒸发分馏.在不同季节,降水、土壤水和泉水δD和δ¹⁸O值变化规律不同;雨季,δD和δ¹⁸O平均值大小为降水>地下水>土壤水,降水和土壤水共同补充地下水;旱季,δD和δ¹⁸O值大小排序为降水> 土壤水>地下水,降水和地下水都对土壤水有贡献.侧柏和栓皮栎年内茎干水分δD和δ¹⁸O的拟合线性方程分别为δD=5.03δ¹⁸O-30.78 和δD=3.0δ¹⁸O-48.92,栓皮栎利用的土壤水分相对于侧柏更加富集,其水分来源深度更浅.栓皮栎叶片水分同位素变化特征相对于侧柏对大气微环境的反应更加敏感,且其叶片水分蒸发和同位素动力分馏程度更强,但是它们对环境条件的变化反应一致.     

西双版纳热带季节雨林林冠截留雾水和土壤水的关系

利用2002年1月-2003年12月在西双版纳热带季节雨林观测样地收集的林冠截留滴落雾水、雨水、浅层土壤水和地下水水样,对其氢、氧稳定性同位素比率δD和δ^18O的测定结果进行了分析,研究了林冠截留雾水对土壤水和地下水的影响。干季（11-翌年4月份）,热带雨林林冠截留雾水的稳定性同位素比率、过量氘（d-excess）值明显高于雨水的相应值,表明雾水水汽中包含了区域森林植被蒸发、蒸腾的再循环水汽。林下地表浅层土壤水的稳定性同位素比率介于雾水和雨水的同位索比率之间,表明浅层土壤水来源于雾水和雨水的补给,但是干季浅层土壤水包含更多的雾水。在降雨稀少的干季,浅层土壤水主要来自雾水的补给,表明了林冠滴落的雾水是林下幼树和耐阴树种生长和生存的重要环境因子。干季和雨季（5-10月份）地下水的稳定性同位素比率与雨水的均没有显著差别,表明雾水对地下水的补给没有贡献,其水分补给仅仅来自雨水。     

元阳梯田水源区旱冬瓜水分来源

旱冬瓜(Alnus nepalensis)是元阳梯田水源区的优势树种之一,其作为一种速生树种被发展为当地居民重要的薪炭林和经济林,树种的生长发育和地理分布受到水分制约,其吸收水分和水分利用的变化将会直接影响森林生态系统的水循环。该研究于2014年5－11月间进行,研究时段内累计降雨1262 mm,地下水δD 值在－71‰~－53‰范围,δ18 O 在－10.6‰~－7.0‰范围,受环境因子的影响很小,基本上保持常年稳定。土壤水是可供树种直接吸收利用的水源,基于氢氧稳定同位素技术,对比元阳梯田水源区旱冬瓜树种茎干水δD 和其林地不同深度土壤水δD 的同位素组成情况,结合不同深度土壤含水量,定性分析判断旱冬瓜对土壤水的利用,结果表明旱冬瓜旱季利用的土壤水主要分布在40 cm 土层附近,而雨季利用的土壤水范围较广,分布在0~60 cm 的土层。利用多元线性混合模型 IsoSource 软件定量分析旱冬瓜对土壤水和地下水的利用,结果表明：旱冬瓜水分来源分布较广,各土层土壤水和地下水均有贡献,雨季旱冬瓜主要利用0~60 cm 深土壤水,其中雨后旱冬瓜绝大部分水分来源于0~10 cm 的土壤水分,利用比例为66％~73％;其它时间主要利用40~60 cm 的土壤水,贡献率高达73％;旱季旱冬瓜的绝大部分水分来源于地下水,对地下水的利用比例为18％~68％,同时,40~60 cm 的土壤水也是其重要的水源。从不同时间尺度考察旱冬瓜对土壤水和浅层地下水的需求,更加准确地认识元阳梯田水源区不同森林类型优势树种的水分来源,为梯田森林生态系统经营与维护以及梯田的可持续发展提供了理论依据。     

内蒙古西鄂尔多斯荒漠区降水入渗氘同位素特征

探讨我国干旱半干旱地区大气降水在土壤剖面中的时空分布特征将为西鄂尔多斯荒漠退化生态系统恢复和维持提供科学依据.本研究利用氘同位素技术研究了内蒙古西鄂尔多斯荒漠的大气降水、土壤水、地下水中的氘同位素值(δD),运用二元线性混合模型计算降水对各层土壤水的贡献率,并结合土壤含水量分析了不同降水条件下土壤剖面各层土壤水δD的时空分布特征.结果表明: 雨后9 d内,小雨(0～10 mm)影响0～10 cm土壤含水量和土壤水δD值,对表层土壤(0～10 cm)的贡献率在30.3%～87.9%;中雨(10～20 mm)影响0～40 cm土壤含水量和土壤水δD值,对0～40 cm土壤水的贡献率为28.2%～80.8%;大雨(20～30 mm)和特大暴雨(＞30 mm)影响0～100 cm土壤含水量和土壤水δD值.降水对100～150 cm深层土壤水δD值影响不显著.西鄂尔多斯荒漠土壤水δD介于大气降水δD与地下水δD之间,表明西鄂尔多斯荒漠土壤水主要来源于大气降水与地下水.在同一降水强度下,表层土壤水(0～10 cm)受降水的直接影响显著,随着土壤深度的增加,土壤水δD变化幅度降低,100～150 cm深层土壤水δD基本趋于稳定.降水强度越大,对土壤水δD影响的时间越长,影响的土壤深度也越深.     

基于δD和δ18O的青海湖流域芨芨草水分利用来源变化研究

水分条件是限制干旱半干旱地区植物生长重要的生态因子,为了揭示青海湖流域典型生态系统下芨芨草植物的水分利用来源及其如何响应水分条件的变化,选择了自然和干旱控制条件下芨芨草植物,通过测定芨芨草植物茎水和各潜在水源(土壤水、地下水及降水)中δD、δ~(18)O组成,并利用直接比较分析法和多源混合模型计算芨芨草植物对土壤水的利用比例。研究结果表明:表层土壤水分和土壤水中δD、δ~(18)O值表征出较大波动范围,其直接受降水和蒸发作用影响,土壤蒸发线的斜率和截距明显小于大气水线斜率和截距,表明土壤水中同位素组成经历了强烈的蒸发分馏过程,而芨芨草茎水中δD、δ~(18)O值都集中分布土壤水蒸发线附近,说明芨芨草根系主要利用不同深度的土壤水。自然条件下芨芨草在生长季初期(6月)利用表层土壤水(0—10cm,45.1%),8—9月份大降水事件影响土壤含水量和同位素组成,降水入渗深度较深且芨芨草根系对土壤水分吸收的比例相差不大,表明根系在土壤含水量较高时均能吸水不同深度土壤水。在干旱控制条件下芨芨草在7月初主要利用表层土壤水(0-30cm),随着表层土壤水分的减少,根系吸收深度转向较深土壤层,而灌溉后表层土壤水分明显增加,其吸收深度又转向表层,表明芨芨草根系吸收深度能敏感地响应土壤水分的变化。另外还发现芨芨草在生长季内并未直接利用地下水。     

应用氢氧稳定同位素对极端干旱区蒸发水分来源的确定

长期监测发现敦煌莫高窟窟顶戈壁存在稳定的蒸发水分。为了进一步厘清蒸发水分的来源,利用拱棚-凝结法定期收集蒸发水分,应用水同位素示踪原理监测凝结水分、莫高窟降水和潜水的δD和δ~(18)O值,以揭示戈壁蒸发水分的来源。结果表明,蒸发水分的δD、δ~(18)O平均值分别为-33.06‰和-5.33‰,莫高窟降水为-66.44‰和-8.57‰,潜水为-72.19‰和-9.75‰,说明当地潜水并非来自于莫高窟降水;通过经纬度和海拔,应用在线降水同位素计算的当地降水δD和δ~(18)O值(-60.00‰,-8.50‰)和降水加权平均值(-5.30‰,-0.75‰)同样表明,当地降水不是地下潜水的合理来源,而党河源区(野马山)的降水(-86.00‰,-12.00‰)才是地下潜水的真正来源。土壤水分蒸发实验与土壤垂直剖面水分检测表明,戈壁深厚包气带土壤在潜水水汽向上运移过程中选择了δ值相对较高的潜水水分,因此,戈壁蒸发水分来自地下潜水,存在清晰的来源通道。极干旱区蒸发水分来源的再确定为蒸发潜水的利用奠定了基础,对极干旱区生态恢复有重要意义,并为干旱、半干旱区地下水的利用提供了新视角,为莫高窟洞窟水分来源研究亦提供了重要参考。     

基于贝叶斯模型MixSIAR的不同水同位素输入方法对苹果园吸水特征分析结果的影响

准确量化浅、中、深3层土壤水源对植物根系吸水的贡献是明确植物水分利用策略的前提。为探究同位素混合模型MixSIAR中不同水同位素输入方法对预估植物水分来源的影响,该研究于2019年5–9月在陕西长武塬区对7年和18年苹果园共进行5次土壤和植物木质部取样,测定对应样品水同位素比值(δ²H、δ¹⁸O)和土壤含水量,并分别利用基于单同位素(²H、¹⁸O)、双同位素(²H&¹⁸O)和经木质部氢同位素校正后双同位素(²H(+8.1)&¹⁸O)输入的MixSIAR模型计算了根区不同土层(0–0.4、0.4–2、>2 m根系深度)土壤水对苹果(Malus pumila)树根系吸水的贡献率。结果表明:与²H单同位素方法相比,利用¹⁸O单同位素方法得到的2 m以下深层土壤水的贡献率更低,而表层(0–0.4 m)土壤水的贡献率更高,且更接近于²H...     

亚热带地区常绿阔叶林SPAC系统水分的氢氧稳定同位素特征

森林的土壤-植物-大气连续体(SPAC)是陆地重要的水循环连续界面过程。本研究通过分析亚热带常绿阔叶林的降水、大气水汽、土壤水、叶片水的同位素组成,探讨森林SPAC系统水分的氢氧同位素组成特征以及植物蒸腾与叶片性状和环境因子的关系。结果表明: 研究区大气降水、土壤水、竹柏枝条水、竹柏叶片水和大气水汽的δD-δ¹⁸O线性回归方程分别为: δD_P=7.97δ¹⁸O_P+12.68(R²=0.97)、δD_S=4.29δ¹⁸O_S-18.62(R²=0.81)、δD_B=3.31δ¹⁸O_B-29.73(R²=0.49)、δD_L=1.49δ¹⁸O_L-10.09(R²=0.81)、δD_V=3.89δ¹⁸O_V-51.29(R²=0.46)。在降水→土壤水→植物水的界面水输送过程中,氢氧同位素逐渐富集,而从土壤蒸发和从植物蒸腾的水汽同位素贫化。在降水和蒸发作用的影响下,土壤水同位素随深度增加有贫化的趋势,而且整体上旱季土壤水同位素比雨季富集。观测期间,枝条水同位素比土壤水略微富集,说明水分在植物体内运输过程中存在受到蒸腾富集作用的可能性。旱季,乔木的枝条水同位素比灌木贫化,说明根系分布更深的乔木植物更倾向于利用深层土壤水。由于在叶片性状、蒸腾速率以及对环境因子的响应程度等方面存在差异,不同植物的叶片水同位素组成随叶龄增长的变化特征有所不同。雨季的环境条件更有利于叶片蒸腾,使雨季的叶片水同位素比旱季富集。叶片水同位素组成与植物叶片含水量呈正相关关系,与相对湿度呈负相关关系,综合反映了植物应对环境变化的水分调控功能。     

提取方式对土壤和植物水分提取率的影响及其氢氧同位素分析

氢氧同位素示踪技术是研究土壤-作物-大气连续体(SPAC)水分循环的重要手段,而土壤水和作物水的提取方法是氢氧同位素研究最关键的一步。本文采用真空蒸馏和共沸蒸馏2种提取方法对不同含水量(35%、25%和15%)下的土壤(红粘土、红砂土和水稻土)和植物(橘树和水稻)茎叶的水分分别进行了提取,并对提取出的水分进行了氢氧稳定同位素的对比分析,旨在提出合适的提取方法。结果表明:真空蒸馏对土壤和植物水分提取率显著高于共沸蒸馏(P<0.001);土壤含水量和土壤类型对水分提取率影响不显著;而水稻水分提取率显著高于橘树(P<0.001),且叶的水分提取率显著高于茎(P<0.001)。真空蒸馏提取出土壤水分的δD和δ18O值与标准样的差异不显著,而共沸蒸馏下提取出土壤水分的δD与标准样差异显著(P<0.001),水稻叶和橘树叶的δD和δ18O值高于茎。研究表明,真空蒸馏比共沸蒸馏更适合土壤和植物水分的提取且其提取出的水分更能真实反映样品中氢氧同位素组成。     

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by human and guinea-pig macrophages and leucocytes

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE₂, PGD₂, PGF_2α, TXB₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α. In all types studied PGE₂ and TXB₂ were the major products formed. The identification of PGE₂ and TXB₂ was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology.     

Cytoskeleton and mitochondrial morphology and function

It has been well established that the cytoskeleton is an essential modulator of cell morphology and motility, intracytoplasmic transport and mitosis, however cytoskeletal linkage to the organelles has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Indeed, cytoskeleton appears to be essential in determining and modulating gene phenotype as a function of cellular environment. According to recent studies, the organization of the cytoskeleton network together with associated protein(s) could be essential in regulating mitochondrial function and particularly the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane to ADP. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the main properties of the cytoskeletal environment of mitochondria and the possible role(s) of this network in mitochondrial function in myocytes.     

Cross-reactivity between storage and dust mites and between mites and shrimp

Many patients have sensitivities to multiple species of storage and house dust mites. It is not clear if this is because patients have multiple sensitivities to species-specific mite allergens or if these mites share many cross-reacting allergens. Our objective was to further define the cross-allergenicity between several species of storage and house dust mites using crossed-immunoelectrophoresis (CIE), crossed-radioimmunoelectrophoresis (CRIE), immunoblotting, and ELISA. CIE and CRIE reactions revealed that storage mites shared two cross-antigenic molecules and one of these bound IgE in a serum pool from mite allergic patients. Antibody in anti-sera built to each species of mite recognized many SDS–PAGE resolved proteins of other mite species and this suggested the potential for other cross-reactive allergens. Among patient sera, IgE bound to many different proteins but few had IgE that bound to a protein with common molecular weights across the mite species and this suggested mostly species-specific allergens. Antiserum built to each mite species precipitated one protein in shrimp extracts that bound anti-Der p 10 (tropomyosin) and IgE in the serum pool. Anti-Der p 10 showed strong binding to shrimp tropomyosin but very little to any of the mite proteins. ELISA showed the mite extracts contained very little tropomyosin. The storage and dust mites investigated contain mostly species-specific allergens and very small amounts of the pan-allergen tropomyosin compared to shrimp and snail.
