四川省自然保护区时空分布与影响因素

自然保护区是为保护具有代表性的生态系统和濒危动植物而划分的特定区域,在涵养水土,防风固沙、净化空气、保护生物多样性等方面发挥着重要作用。四川省有自然保护区166处,类型丰富多样,是中国自然保护地体系的重要组成部分,其保护对象涵盖珍稀动植物,保护功能涉及物种、水源和生态环境,与国家地质公园、湿地公园、森林公园等共同维系着中国西南地区,乃至青藏高原东缘的生态系统。因此,研究四川省自然保护区的空间分布格局及其影响因素具有重要的价值和意义。运用地理空间分析方法对1963-2018年间四川省自然保护区的空间分布和影响因素进行了研究。研究发现:①四川省自然保护区空间分布的总体特征以集聚为主,呈现集聚-随机-集聚的变化特征,且前期变化幅度大,后期变化幅度小,总体发展明显分为1963-1998年的单核形成与发展阶段和1998-2018年的双核阶段;②四川省自然保护区主要分布在成都平原向川西高原的过渡区域,其均衡度类型在时间上表现出由"差距悬殊"到"差距较大"的演变特征;③四川省自然保护区的重心活动范围相对较小,基本稳定在阿坝州南部。标准差椭圆的长短半轴和面积均变化强烈,总体呈现出大幅度的增长,空间分布由南-北向演变为东北-西南向;④自然保护区受到自然因素和社会因素的双重影响,高密度区域分布在地势适中、气候温和、河流众多、土壤肥沃、人口稀少的阿坝州南部与东部地区。未来,四川省生态功能建设应该立足国家公园、自然保护区和自然公园的特点、分布状况,对自然保护区分布较少的川西北、川东北和川南部分地区进行优化布局,以加强这些地区的生态功能建设。同时,探索自然保护区的发展模式,实现自然保护区与周边区域社会经济的协调发展。     

Reductive activation of the coenzyme A/acetyl-CoA isotopic exchange reaction catalyzed by carbon monoxide dehydrogenase from Clostridium thermoaceticum and its inhibition by nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide

The final steps in the synthesis of acetyl-CoA by CO dehydrogenase (CODH) have been studied by following the exchange reaction between CoA and the CoA moiety of acetyl-CoA. This reaction had been studied earlier (Pezacka, E., and Wood, H. G. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 1609-1615 and Ramer, W. E., Raybuck, S. A., Orme-Johnson, W. H., and Walsh, C. T. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 4675-4680). The CoA/acetyl-CoA exchange activity was determined at various controlled redox potentials and was found to be activated by a one-electron reduction with half-maximum activity occurring at -486 mV. There is approximately 2000-fold stimulation of the exchange by performing the reaction at -575 mV relative to the rate at -80 mV. Binding of CoA to CODH is not sensitive to the redox potential; therefore, the reductive activation affects some step other than association/dissociation of CoA. We propose that a metal center on CODH with a midpoint reduction potential of less than or equal to -486 mV is activated by a one-electron reduction to cleave the carbonyl-sulfur bond and/or bind the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA. Based on a comparison of the redox dependence of this reaction with that for methylation of CODH (Lu, W-P., Harder, S. R., and Ragsdale, S. W. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 3124-3133) and CO2 reduction and formation of the Ni-Fe-C EPR signal (Lindahl, P. A., Münck, E., and Ragsdale, S. W. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 3873-3879), we propose that the assembly of the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA, i.e. binding the methyl group of the methylated corrinoid/iron-sulfur protein, binding CO, and methyl migration to form the acetyl-CODH intermediate, occur at the novel Ni-Fe3-4-containing site in CODH. CO has two effects on the CoA/acetyl-CoA exchange: it activates the reaction due to its reductive capacity and its acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor. We also discovered that the CoA/acetyl-CoA exchange was inhibited by nitrous oxide via an oxidative mechanism. In the presence of a low-potential electron donor, CODH becomes a nitrous oxide reductase which catalytically converts N2O to N2. This study combined with earlier results (Lu, W-P., Harder, S. R., and Ragsdale, S. W. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 3124-3133) establishes that the two-subunit form of CODH is completely active in all reactions known to be catalyzed by CODH.

Nature of Novel 2D van der Waals Heterostructures for Superior Potassium Ion Batteries

Novel 2D van der Waals heterostructures with innovative bimetallic oxychloride (Bi‐ and Sb‐based oxychloride) nanosheets that are well dispersed on reduced graphene oxide nanosheets, are established through element engineering for superior potassium ion battery (PIBs) anodes. This material displays an exceptional electrochemical performance, obtaining a discharge capacity as high as 360 mAh g^?1 at 100 mA g^?1 after running 1000 cycles for over 9 months with a capacity preservation percentage of 88.5% and achieving a discharge capacity as high as 319 mAh g^?1 at 1000 mA g^?1, in addition to the low charge/discharge plateaus for anodes and promising full cell performance. More significantly, the nature of such 2D van der Waals heterostructures, including the element engineering for morphology control, the function of each component of heterostructures, the mechanism of potassium ion storage, and the process of K⁺ intercalation accompanied with the lattice distortion and chemical bond breakages, is explored in depth. This study is critical for not only paving the way for the practical application of PIBs but also shedding light on fundamentals of potassium ion storage in 2D van der Waals heterostructures.     

Alleviation of Liver Dysfunction,Oxidative Stress,and Inflammation Underlines the Protective Effects of Polysaccharides from Cordyceps cicadae on High Sugar/High Fat Diet-Induced Metabolic Syndrome in Rats

This study investigated the protective effects of two polysaccharides (CPA-1 and CPB-2) from Cordyceps cicadae against high fructose/high fat diet (HF/HFD) induced obesity and metabolic disorders in rats. Rats were either fed with normal diet or HF/HFD and treated with CPA-1 and CPB-2 (100 and 300 mg/kg) for 11 weeks. Administration of CPA-1 and CPB-2 significantly and dose dependently reduced body and liver weight, insulin and glucose tolerance, serum insulin and glucose levels. Furthermore, serum and hepatic lipid profiles, liver function enzymes and proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) were markedly reduced. Additionally, CPA-1 and CPB-2 treatment alleviated hepatic oxidative stress by reducing lipid peroxidation level (MDA) and upregulating glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities as well as ameliorated histological alterations through the reduction of hepatic lipid accumulation. These results suggested that the polysaccharides from C. cicadae showed protective effects against HF/HFD induced metabolic disturbances and may be considered as a dietary supplement for treating obesity.
