末次冰期以来北海道、萨哈林岛及亚洲东北部落叶松林演变史

萨哈林岛（库叶岛）和北海道的末次冰期沉积丰富的落叶松花粉,为了搞清楚落叶松花粉百分比和实际森林密度的关系,我们系统地分析了从苔原,森林苔原以及泰加林的表土样品,根据孢粉资料恢复了两个岛屿3万年以来的植被和气候,两个岛上3万年前后 以云杉与落叶松共生的森林为主,松和冷杉现在比现代相对较冷和干的气候条件下,萨哈林在末次冰盛期的草原和泰加林主要由落叶松和松组成,和现在西伯利亚东北部的泰加林相似,在北海道末次冰盛期的草原和泰加林主要由落叶松,松以及云杉组成,气候更加干冷,在新仙女木期森林苔原分布到中萨哈林岛,而北海道的草原和泰加林以落叶松为主,气候可能比末次冰盛期还要冷,在1万年前两个岛的落叶松含量都开始下降,6000年前在北海道消失,萨哈林岛的落叶松则残存至今。     

Biological detoxification of precious metal processing wastewaters

A biological treatment plant is utilized at the Homestake Mine in Lead, SD, to effect detoxification of a daily discharge of 4 million gallons of wastewater. The wastewater matrix requiring treatment contains cyanide, ammonia, toxic heavy metals, and a variable component of toxic chemicals associated with extractive metallurgy and mining operations. Rotating biological contactors (RBCs) are used to attach the biofilm. Cyanides and heavy metals concentrations are reduced by 95–98%. The treated discharge makes up as much as 60% of the total flow in a cold‐water trout fishery. This receiving stream, which remained lifeless for over 100 years as a mine drainage, has now become an established trout fishery and recently yielded a state record trout.     

Identification of 2-phenylethanol with a rose-like odor from anal sac secretions of the small Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus)

The small Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) is an invasive species in Okinawa and Amami-Oshima, Japan. Major strategies for their eradication have been the use of baited traps, which suffer from decreasing efficiency with declining populations and the bycatch of native animals. To address these concerns, mongoose-specific lures are required. In this study, we aimed to identify species- and/or sex-specific compounds from anal sac secretions of small Indian mongooses. Volatile compounds emitted from male and female mongoose anal sac secretions were analyzed by thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In addition to several fatty acids, 2-phenylethanol was identified as a minor compound, which is uncommon in mammalian secretions but a dominant odorant in roses. Female samples emitted higher levels of 2-phenylethanol than male samples did. These findings indicate that 2-phenylethanol is a female-specific volatile compound of anal sac secretions in small Indian mongooses, and it may be useful as an ingredient of mongoose-specific scent lures.     

Stability of aerobic granules during long-term bioreactor operation

Aerobic granular sludge technology has been extensively studied over the past 20 years and is regarded as the upcoming new standard for biological treatment of domestic and industrial wastewaters. Aerobic granules (AG) are dense, compact, self-immobilized microbial aggregates that allow better sludge-water separation and thereby higher biomass concentrations in the bioreactor than conventional activated sludge aggregates. This brings potential practical advantages in terms of investment cost, energy consumption and footprint. Yet, despite the relevant advances regarding the process of AG formation, instability of AG during long-term operation is still seen as a major barrier for a broad practical application of this technology. This paper presents an up-to-date review of the literature focusing on AG stability, aiming to contribute to the identification of key factors for promoting long-term stability of AG and to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Operational conditions leading to AG disintegration are described, including high organic loads, particulate substrates in the influent, toxic feed components, aerobic feeding and too short famine periods. These operational and influent wastewater composition conditions were shown to influence the micro-environment of AG, consequently affecting their stability. Granule stability is generally favored by the presence of a dense core, with microbial growth throughout the AG depth being a crucial intrinsic factor determining its structural integrity. Accordingly, possible practical solutions to improve granule long-term stability are described, namely through the promotion of minimal substrate concentration gradients and control of microbial growth rates within AG, including anaerobic, plug-flow feeding and specific sludge removal strategies.     

清代北京皇家园林植物景观与园林经营体系研究

园林的管理与经营是清代皇家园林存续的重要支撑。本研究结合清代宫廷文献,以记录内务府规章制度的《钦定总管内务府现行则例》为主要依据,探讨清代管理机构职责、收入来源与经营方式、支出与盈余管理,归纳出一个以种植生产为核心的管理经营框架。认为清代皇家园林在多次改革基础上,逐渐形成了管理范围清晰的部门划分。各部门除对园林进行日常维护外,主要承担各园以植物生产为核心的经营任务。通过对资源的精细利用以及种植—租赁相结合的土地管理模式,基本实现皇家园林“以园养园”的收支平衡体系。而这种经营方式造就了园林沿水源布局的大面积的作物景观背景以及园林中点缀的生产性植物景观。最终得出结论,认为清代皇家园林植物景观不仅具有观赏功能,更是支持园林存续的物质基础。     

An integrative insight on dormancy alleviation in diaspores of Urochloa humidicola (Rendle) Morrone & Zuloaga,a tropical grass with great economic and ecological impact

• Even though exhaustively studied, dormancy alleviation in diaspores of Urochloa humidicola (Rendle) Morrone & Zuloaga remains a mystery. To clarify this, we asked the following question: could dormancy alleviation in diaspores of this species be associated with ageing, GA/ABA balance and remaining structures of the panicoid spikelet?
• We answer this question using diaspores of U. humidicola cv. BRS Tupi as a biological model, a cultivar with a wide edaphoclimatic range in Neotropical areas and whose diaspores possess ‘deep dormancy’ when dispersed. We analysed both germination and early plant development using a split‐plot model.
• Our findings demonstrate that dormancy alleviation in diaspores of U. humidicola is a synergic phenomenon driven by crosstalk between age, GA/ABA balance and remaining structures of the panicoid spikelet covering caryopses, since this interaction acts on the dynamics of germination and early plant development.
• We demonstrate that: (i) spreading germination time is a maternal survival mechanism of this species, which has repercussions for occupational aggressiveness of the species; (ii) remaining structures of the panicoid spikelet covering caryopses are the main modulator of embryo development. These structures control the after‐ripening process, which is modulated by some molecular factor. We also highlight that it is necessary to review concepts about dormancy of dispersal units in this grass species.

象皮生肌膏对肛瘘术后创面修复及PI3K/Akt/mTOR信号通路的影响

摘要 目的：探究象皮生肌膏对肛瘘切除术后大鼠创面的治疗作用及其与PI3K/Akt/mTOR信号通路的相关性。方法：将SD雄性大鼠随机分为假手术组、模型组、象皮生肌膏组、湿润烧伤膏组,共4组,每组10只。4组均采用0号钢丝制造肛瘘模型,造模成功后,除假手术组外,均在麻醉下行肛瘘切除术,创面保持开放,使之形成"开放、渗血、渗液、有脓性分泌物"的感染性肛瘘术后创面,假手术组保留瘘管,不予换药,模型组予以生理盐水冲洗、络合碘消毒后不予换药,治疗组分别予以相应药物进行创面换药,共10天。10天后采用常规面积检测法比较模型组、象皮生肌膏组、湿润烧伤膏组大鼠肛瘘术后创面的创面愈合率及创面肉芽组织覆盖率;HE染色观察各组大鼠肛周组织病理情况;ELISA检测各组大鼠血清中bFGF、EGF、VEGF的表达水平,WB检测比较各组大鼠肛周肉芽组织中PI3K、Akt、mTOR、p70 S6K、p-PI3K（S473）、p-AKT（S473）、p-mTOR（Ser2448）、p-p70 S6K的蛋白表达水平。结果：与模型组比较,治疗第3、7、10天象皮生肌膏组和湿润烧伤膏组的创面愈合率及创面肉芽组织填充率显著升高（P＜0.01）。病理切片显示,假手术组炎性细胞浸润较少,其余各组均可见不同程度的炎性细胞浸润,且创面区可见不同程度炎性修复型肉芽组织增生、胶原纤维新生及血管扩张;其中模型组病理切片显示大量炎性细胞浸润,血管扩张明显,并有明显的血管出血;象皮生肌膏组病理切片显示炎性细胞较少,成纤维细胞成熟且分布整齐,真皮层内胶原纤维丰富且排列整齐,可见血管新生,无明显血管扩张及出血;湿润烧伤膏组病理切片显示少量炎性细胞浸润及血管扩张,真皮层内可见成纤维细胞生成。ELISA检测结果显示,与假手术组比较,模型组血清中bFGF、EGF、VEGF的含量显著降低（P＜0.01）;与模型组比较,象皮生肌膏组血清中bFGF、EGF、VEGF的含量显著升高（P＜0.01）,湿润烧伤膏组大鼠血清中EGF、VEGF的含量显著升高（P＜0.01）。WB检测结果显示,与假手术组比较,模型组肛周组织中p-PI3K、p-Akt 、p-mTOR、p-p70 S6K蛋白表达显著降低（P<0.01）;与模型组比较,象皮生肌膏组肛周组织中p-PI3K、p-Akt 、p-mTOR、p-p70 S6K蛋白表达显著升高（P<0.05）。结论：象皮生肌膏能有效促进肛瘘术后创面修复,减轻肛瘘术后创面炎症反应,促进创面肉芽生长,其促愈机制可能与PI3K/Akt/mTOR信号通路相关蛋白表达有关,其通过上调PI3K/Akt/mTOR信号通路相关蛋白激活PI3K/Akt/mTOR信号通路,进而加快创面修复进程。     

多野照射、三维适形放疗与调强放疗对胃癌根治术患者癌周围组织的影响

目的:探讨多野照射、三维适形放疗与调强放疗对胃癌根治术患者癌周围组织的影响。方法:选取收治的103例行胃癌根治术的患者,将所有患者随机分为甲乙丙三组,其中甲组患者34例,均采用多野照射治疗;而乙组患者也是34例,均使用三维适形放疗;丙组患者则有35例,均使用调强放疗。观察比较各组患者放疗后的上腹部症状改善情况,并且检测各组患者的肝功能和血常规以及胰淀粉酶等临床指标,比较各组患者经治疗后的复发率以及生存率。结果:甲组患者的近期疗效显著低于乙组患者(P0.05),而乙组患者的近期疗效则明显低于丙组患者(P0.05);三组患者的钡餐造影均有所改善,但是其组间比较差异不具有统计学意义(÷2=9.012,P0.05)。甲组的不良反应率显著高于乙组和丙组(均P0.05),并且各组患者的不良反应中血常规异常的发生率显著高于肝功能和胰脏功能的异常(均P0.05),同时甲组患者出现放射性脊髓病的患者明显多于乙组(P0.05),仅丙组患者未见放射性脊髓病。随访三年间三组患者第一年随访生存率无明显差异(P0.05),而在第2年至第3年则三组患者的随访生存率有明显差异(均P0.05),其中随访生存率以丙组患者最高,其次为乙组患者;另外随访三年间甲组患者的随访复发率显著高于乙组和丙组患者(均P0.05),其复发率由低至高依次为丙组乙组甲组。结论:与多野照射治疗相比,三维适形放疗和调强放疗均能够更好地降低对胃癌周围组织的损伤和改善患者的临床症状,并且不良反应发生率低,对于降低复发率和提高生存率方面亦有不错的效果。
