Microbial characteristics of sandy soils exposed to diazinon under laboratory conditions

Changes in microbiological characteristics in response to diazinon, applied at three different dosages of 7, 35 and 700 mg kg^?1 soil, were studied in pots filled with sandy soils of different texture. The insecticide dosages corresponded to the maximum predicted environmental concentration (PEC) in field conditions and five or hundred times this rate, respectively. To ascertain these changes, activities of selected soil enzymes, numbers of some microbial populations and bacterial community structure (r/K-strategists) were determined. Acid phosphatase activity and concentrations of ammonium ions either increased or were unaffected by the diazinon dosages. In contrast, nitrate ions, alkaline phosphatase, urease and especially dehydrogenase activities decreased in both soils treated with the higher dosages of the insecticide. The diazinon treatments increased the numbers of culturable bacteria and fungi; however, N-fixing bacteria and nitrifiers (but not denitrifiers) were decreased in both soils. When the high concentration of diazinon (100-times PEC) was added to the loamy sand soil (LS), simulating an undiluted chemical spill, the bacterial community structure shifted towards domination of K-strategists over time. However, r-strategists dominated in the community exposed to the same dosage of the insecticide in the sandy loam soil (SL). Generally, SL soil characteristics were more suitable for microbial activity and growth than those of LS soil were. The results indicate that except a situation of undiluted spill diazinon seems to be a non-hazardous chemical for the culturable soil microorganisms when applied at recommended concentrations.     

DIFFERENCES IN SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INSECTICIDES BETWEEN ADULTS AND LARVAE OF HOUSEFLY, MUSCA DOMESTICA (L.)

Abstract  In this paper, we reported the differences in susceptibility to insecticides between adults and larvae of housefly, Musca domestica (L.), and the mechanisms for the differences. The larvae of housefly were much more tolerant to insecticides than the adults, and the tolerance ratio to cyhalothrin was as high as 205.5 for susceptible strain. Mechanism studies showed that higher GST activity was associated with higher insecticide tolerance in the larvae. The co-toxicity coefficient of the mixture of cyhalothrin and methylene dithiocyanate(4:1) on pyrehid-resistant houseflies was 188.     

脑室注射P物质对大鼠血压、心率及交感传出活动的影响

给乌拉坦麻醉六鼠侧脑室注射P物质(SP)10μg,引起动脉血压、心率和内脏交感神经放电增加。同样剂量的SP静脉注射后却引起血压降低。阿托品预处理不影响SP的开心率作用。预先脑室注射0.25,4,64μg阿片受体拮抗剂纳洛酮,对SP的升压效应有剂量依赖式对抗作用。以上说明脑室注射SP 引起的血压升高是交感神经活动增强,导致心率加快及外周血管紧张性增加的结果,并提示SP的中枢升压效应可能与脑内释放内源性阿片样物质有关。     

[D丙~6,脯~9乙基胺]-促黄体素释放激素LH-RHA对妊娠兔子宫内膜多聚核糖体mRNA的作用

本实验制备了非孕兔、孕兔和绐孕兔注射高剂量[D丙‘,脯’乙基胺]-促黄体素释放激素(LH-RH A)不同天数的子宫内膜多聚核糖体,并从多聚核糖体提取mRNA,在网织红细胞无细胞翻译系统中测定了活性。结果指出用LH-RH A处理后多聚核糖体mRNA量减少,其翻译活性降低,在体内实验中核糖体mRNA诱导兔子宫分秘蛋白的合成也受到抑制,特别是分子量大约为22,000和69,000左右的分泌蛋白合成受到明显抑制。     

大白鼠交感节前神经再生的研究Ⅰ.生化、组化与功能观察

用液氮骤冻造成大白鼠交感节前神经变性后,通过神经末梢乙酰胆碱含量、胆碱酯酶活性测定以及电刺激交感干时外周反应等研究其再生规律。结果表明冻伤后3周内再生过程进展迅速,神经结构与功能均有相当程度的恢复;3周后再生过程转慢,直至一年时各指标仍远未达到正常。这证明交感节前神经的再生过程不同于中枢及其它外周神经而独具特征。     

大麻叶蜂的研究

大麻叶蜂是安徽麻区大麻上的主要害虫之一.单食性,以幼虫咀食大麻叶片形成孔洞和缺刻,严重时仅残留叶柄和主叶脉,致使麻皮产量锐减.据室内饲养及结合田间定点观察,大麻叶蜂在安徽六安每年发生二代,以老熟幼虫于土内结茧越冬.两性或孤雌生殖,幼虫六龄、三龄前食量小,是药剂防治的有利时机,幼虫有趋嫩性和假死性. 室内测定和田间试验表明,喷洒杀螟松、乐果、西维因和敌敌畏1,000倍液,对三龄前幼虫有很好的效果,特别是杀螟松效果更佳,杀虫快速,药效期长,即使对高龄幼虫仍有良好的效果.     

刺激杏仁基底外侧核对外侧缰核神经元单位放电的影响

用玻璃微电极细胞外记录大鼠外侧缰核(LHN)神经元的单位放电。共记录了110个神经元。其中痛兴奋神经元(LHPE)75个;痛抑制神经元(LHPI)11个;广动力型神经元2个;无反应神经元17个;此外还有5个对躯体与内脏伤害性刺激反应不同的神经元。电刺激杏仁基底外侧核(以下简称杏仁核,AMG)对LHPE和LHPI的自发放电主要产生抑制作用,分别占总数的81.1％和72.7％,并抑制其对伤害性刺激的反应;对无反应神经元和广动力型神经元无明显影响。AMG内微量注射吗啡能抑制LHPE的伤害性刺激反应,但对其自发放电无明显影响。微量注射纳洛酮则可增加LHPE的自发放电频率,并加强其对伤害性刺激的反应。注射纳洛酮还可以取消电针对LHPE的伤害性刺激反应的抑制作用。
