硅对土壤-烟草系统中铅迁移及形态分布的影响

通过盆栽试验,以烟草为对象,研究了硅对土壤 烟草系统中铅的迁移以及土壤、烟草中铅形态分布的影响.结果表明： 施硅使非根际土壤可交换态铅向铁锰氧化物结合态转化,使根际土中交换态铅向铁锰氧化物结合态和残渣态转化,降低了土壤中铅的植物有效性与迁移性.施硅显著提高了烟草根部和叶部的生物量,显著降低了烟草铅的总吸收量和烟草各器官的铅含量,其中烟草铅的总吸收量降低了6.5%～44.0%,烟叶铅含量降低了3.1%～60.4%.施硅使烟草根、茎和叶中乙醇提取态、去离子水提取态和氯化钠提取态向盐酸提取态和残渣态转化,降低了烟草体内铅的毒性与迁移性.土壤-烟草系统中土壤向烟草根部的移动指数和根部向茎部的移动指数随施硅量的增加而降低,烟草茎部向叶部的移动指数随着施硅量的增加呈先增高后降低的趋势.硅通过降低土壤铅有效性、缓解铅对烟草的毒害、改变烟草体内铅的形态分布,进而抑制土壤中铅向烟草叶部的迁移,降低烟叶中的铅含量.施硅是降低土壤铅的迁移性及烟叶铅含量的有效措施.

采用温室盆栽方法,研究添加外源铁对不同铅浓度(0、100、500和1000 mg·kg-1)污染土壤中宽叶香蒲铅积累的影响.结果表明:各铅浓度条件下,与添加100 mg Fe·kg-1相比,添加500 mg Fe·kg-1处理的宽叶香蒲地上部和根的铅含量均增高.土壤铅浓度为1000mg·kg-1时,添加500 mg Fe·kg-1处理根的铅含量比100 mg Fe·kg-1处理增加33.7％,地上部铅含量增加50.5％.添加500 mg Fe·kg-1处理的根际土壤中可交换态铅比100mg Fe·kg-1处理增加77.0％～114.6％.除500 mg·kg-1铅浓度外,各铅浓度条件下添加500mg Fe·kg-1处理根干质量均显著低于100 mg Fe·kg-1处理.在铅污染的湿地环境中添加适量铁可以提高铅的有效性,促进铅积累.     

外源磷对苗期小麦和水稻根际砷形态及其生物有效性的影响

采用土(中度砷污染土)-土根袋培养的方法研究了两个浓度的外源磷(P)对苗期小麦和水稻根际砷(As)形态分布及其生物有效性的影响.结果表明:(1)两种作物生长的土壤中各砷形态的分配比例依次为:结晶铁锰或铁铝水化氧化物结合态(45%～52%)＞无定形和弱结晶铁铝或铁锰水化氧化物结合态(26%～34%)＞专性吸附态(12%～14%)＞残渣态(4%～7%)＞非专性吸附态(0.09%～0.25%).(2)添加外源磷浓度为100 mg·kg-1与不施磷处理相比显著提高了两种作物地上部的生物量(p＜0.01).(3)苗期小麦在添加100 mg·kg-1外源磷时,不仅促进了作物生长而且抑制根中砷向地上部的转运.(4)任何磷处理下,水稻对砷的吸收能力以及由根系向地上部转移能力均高于小麦.因此,在轻中度砷污染土壤上与水稻相比更适宜种植小麦(或其他旱作植物);而在水稻种植季,可以通过添加适量磷肥(100 mg·kg-1)来减弱砷在水稻体内的累积.

以皖北地区广泛分布的潮土、砂姜黑土、水稻土等为材料,采用连续化学提取的方法,研究了土壤中不同形态氟的含量、土体分布以及土壤氟形态与土壤理化性质的关系·结果表明:皖北地区土壤全氟含量为265·8～612·8mg·kg-1,平均含量为423·7mg·kg-1,土壤全氟含量高低排序为菜园土>潮土>水稻土>砂姜黑土>黄棕壤,菜地土壤存在氟积累现象.土壤氟主要以残余态氟形式存在,占土壤全氟的95%以上;其次为水溶态氟,占土壤全氟的1·5%左右;有机态氟、铁锰氧化物态氟和交换态氟含量均较少.28个土壤样本的水溶态氟含量范围为1·35～17·98mg·kg-1,平均含量为6·62mg·kg-1,含量较低的是硅质黄棕壤,含量较高的是菜地土壤、潮土和砂姜黑土.土壤水溶态氟含量与土壤pH和土壤有效磷含量呈极显著正相关,与土壤全磷含量呈显著正相关;土壤交换态氟与土壤物理性粘粒和小于0·001mm土粒含量呈极显著正相关;铁锰结合态氟与土壤全磷含量呈显著正相关;有机态氟与土壤有机质含量呈极显著正相关.对土壤氟形态与土壤性质的逐步回归表明,土壤pH,有效磷、有机质、全磷和物理性粘粒含量是影响土壤氟形态分布的主要因素,其中,土壤pH的影响最大.土壤水溶态氟含量与土壤母质有关,在浅湖沼相沉积物上形成的土壤水溶态氟含量最高,平均含量为9·05mg·kg-1;其次为在黄河冲积物上形成的土壤,平均含量为8·12mg·kg-1;在晚更新世黄土母质上形成的土壤水溶态氟平均含量为2·97mg·kg-1;在淮河冲积物上形成的土壤和轻质黄棕壤水溶态氟含量分别为2·05和1·91mg·kg-1.在土体中,土壤有机态氟和铁锰氧化物态氟含量随土层深度增加而减少,菜地土壤上部土层的全氟和水溶态氟含量均高于底土.     

乙草胺对东北黑土铅形态及生物有效性的影响

通过清洁黑土和污染黑土的形态分级分析和黑土铅对乙草胺的响应实验,对东北黑土铅形态及其乙草胺使用的生物有效性响应进行了研究．结果表明,清洁和污染黑土中的铅均主要以有机质-硫化物结合态铅和残渣态铅这2种生物有效性低的形态为主,而水溶态铅和可交换态铅这2种具生物学活性的铅含量则相对较低．与清洁黑土相比,污染黑土中具生物学活性的铅含量所占总铅含量的比例有所上升．随着农业活动中施入高剂量的乙草胺这一除草剂,黑土中具生物学活性的水溶态和可交换态铅的含量则大幅上升．据分析,其原因是铅在与乙草胺交互作用过程中来自有机质．硫化物结合态铅释放对有效态铅的贡献．

镉与豆磺隆复合胁迫下小麦根－土界面镉形态的变化

通过根际箱试验,研究了Cd与豆磺隆复合胁迫下小麦根 土界面Cd形态变化的空间和时间效应.在空间上将根－土界面(0～5 mm)细化到1 mm,在时间上将取样时间分为14、21、28、35和42 d,并将小麦体吸收的Cd与根 土界面各形态Cd作相关分析,从而得出影响小麦体生长的Cd形态.结果表明,在小麦不同的生长时间内,可交换态Cd表现出的空间效应明显不同.在小麦生长的第14天,根－土界面可交换态Cd大体上由根中心区(6.186 mg·kg^-1)向根外区(6.482 mg·kg^-1)逐渐增加;从小麦生长第21天到42天,根-土界面可交换态Cd呈现出由根中心区到某一层升高,之后又由该层到土体下降的趋势.根-土界面各层碳酸盐和铁锰结合态Cd向可交换态Cd转化的趋势由根中心区向根外区逐渐减弱,而向残留态Cd转化的趋势逐渐加强,有机结合态Cd浓度变化在近根区较大.碳酸盐结合态Cd、铁锰结合态Cd、有机结合态Cd浓度随时间而逐渐下降;残留态Cd浓度则表现出明显的上升趋势.相关分析表明,近根层的可交换态Cd和有机结合态Cd是小麦能直接利用的两种Cd形态.豆磺隆对可交换态Cd含量变化以及碳酸盐和铁锰结合态Cd的转化有明显影响.     

施用尿素对土壤中Cd、Pb形态分布及植物有效性的影响

采用室外盆栽试验,研究了在镉(25mg·kg-1)、铅(1000mg·kg-1)单一污染及其复合污染的土壤中,施用不同剂量尿素(0、100、200、400、800mg·kg-1)对小麦根际和非根际土壤镉、铅形态、小麦植物体镉、铅浓度的影响,为重金属污染土壤的防治提供依据。结果表明:增加尿素施用水平显著提高了小麦不同部位镉、铅浓度,尿素施用促进小麦对镉、铅的吸收与其对土壤中镉、铅形态分布的影响紧密相关,尿素施用引起土壤pH下降,提高土壤中交换态镉、铅含量,而交换态是最易被植物吸收利用的部分,这是尿素施用提高镉、铅植物有效性的主要原因;与单一污染相比,镉、铅复合污染抑制了小麦对铅的吸收,但促进了小麦对镉的吸收。

Role for dopamine in malonate-induced damage in vivo in striatum and in vitro in mesencephalic cultures

Defects in mitochondrial energy metabolism have been implicated in the pathology of several neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, the reactive metabolites generated from the metabolism and oxidation of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) are thought to contribute to the damage to neurons of the basal ganglia. We have previously demonstrated that infusions of the metabolic inhibitor malonate into the striata of mice or rats produce degeneration of DA nerve terminals. In the present studies, we demonstrate that an intrastriatal infusion of malonate induces a substantial increase in DA efflux in awake, behaving mice as measured by in vivo microdialysis. Furthermore, pretreatment of mice with tetrabenazine (TBZ) or the TBZ analogue Ro 4-1284 (Ro-4), compounds that reversibly inhibit the vesicular storage of DA, attenuates the malonate-induced DA efflux as well as the damage to DA nerve terminals. Consistent with these findings, the damage to both DA and GABA neurons in mesencephalic cultures by malonate exposure was attenuated by pretreatment with TBZ or Ro-4. Treatment with these compounds did not affect the formation of free radicals or the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation resulting from malonate exposure alone. Our data suggest that DA plays an important role in the neurotoxicity produced by malonate. These findings provide direct evidence that inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase causes an increase in extracellular DA levels and indicate that bioenergetic defects may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic neurodegenerative diseases through a mechanism involving DA.

SSTR5 ablation in islet results in alterations in glucose homeostasis in mice

Somatostatin (SST) peptide is a potent inhibitor of insulin secretion and its effect is mediated via somatostatin receptor 5 (SSTR5) in the endocrine pancreas. To investigate the consequences of gene ablation of SSTR5 in the mouse pancreas, we have generated a mouse model in which the SSTR5 gene was specifically knocked down in the pancreatic beta cells (betaSSTR5Kd) using the Cre-lox system. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that SSTR5 gene expression was absent in beta cells at three months of age. At the time of gene ablation, betaSSTR5Kd mice demonstrated glucose intolerance with lack of insulin response and significantly reduced serum insulin levels. Insulin tolerance test demonstrated a significant increase of insulin clearance in vivo at the same age. In vitro studies demonstrated an absence of response to SST-28 stimulation in the betaSSTR5Kd mouse islet, which was associated with a significantly reduced SST expression level in betaSSTR5Kd mice pancreata. In addition, betaSSTR5Kd mice had significantly reduced serum glucose levels and increased serum insulin levels at 12 months of age. Glucose tolerance test at an older age also indicated a persistently higher insulin level in betaSSTR5Kd mice. Further studies of betaSSTR5Kd mice had revealed elevated serum C-peptide levels at both 3 and 12 months of age, suggesting that these mice are capable of producing and releasing insulin to the periphery. These results support the hypothesis that SSTR5 plays a pivotal role in the regulation of insulin secretion in the mouse pancreas.

Changes in aquatic vegetation in Rhine floodplain streams in Alsace in relation to disturbance

Abstract. Changes are described in aquatic vegetation in oligotrophic, groundwater-fed Rhine floodplain streams in Alsace (eastern France), resulting from disturbance. Disturbance factors include changes in nutrients, either permanent ones - effluent from a waste water treatment plant or trout hatcheries - or periodic ones: flooding. Regular inputs of high levels of phosphate and ammonia modified the macrophyte vegetation in these streams. The floristic composition, which was characteristic of oligotrophic waters upstream of the eutrophicated sector, changed to that of a eutrophic situation as originally found downstream. Periodic disturbance by floods which normally occur once a year, irregularly eutrophicates the small streams, causing the development of a mixture of eutrophic and oligotrophic species. Six macrophyte communities are distinguished, indicating different trophic levels. The aquatic vegetation is adapted to the variations of phosphate and ammonia levels. Hence, aquatic macrophytes can be used as bio-indicators of fluctuations in water nutrient levels in relation to the type of disturbance.     

Apoptosis in experimental myocardial infarction in situ and in the perfused heart in vitro

We report the appearance of apoptotic cells in experimental myocardial infarction (rabbit heart) in in situ and in vitro preparations. Apoptosis was recognized by intravital staining with Hoechst 33342 (Ho342), by nick-end labeling (TUNEL) and by DNA laddering. A steady rise in the relative number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes (apoptotic index) was noted in in situ preparations. Apoptosis was first noted 6 h after the onset of ischemia with its highest value occurring after 72 h. Apoptotic nuclei were absent in remote areas of the left and right ventricles. Apoptotic nuclei within the infarcted area showed diminished intensity of Ho342 fluorescence. Three days after ischemia, a border zone adjacent to the infarcted area consisting of apoptotic macrophages was recognized. A novel finding was the appearance of apoptotic cardiomyocytes in the isolated perfused ischemic heart. Occurring as early as 50 min after the onset of ischemia, a high apoptotic index was present adjacent to the ligature placed around the coronary artery. This observation provides the opportunity to selectively examine factors leading to apoptosis in the ischemic heart under controlled experimental conditions.     

Morphine-potentiated platelet aggregation in in vitro and platelet plug formation in in vivo experiments

The detailed mechanisms underlying morphine-signaling pathways in platelets remain obscure. Therefore, we systematically examined the influence of morphine on washed human platelets. In this study, washed human platelet suspensions were used for in vitro studies. Furthermore, platelet thrombus formation induced by irradiation of mesenteric venules with filtered light in mice pretreated with fluorescein sodium was used for an in vivo thrombotic study. Morphine concentration dependently (0.6, 1, and 5 microM) potentiated platelet aggregation and the ATP release reaction stimulated by agonists (i.e., collagen and U46619) in washed human platelets. Yohimbine (0.1 microM), a specific alpha(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist, markedly abolished the potentiation of morphine in platelet aggregation stimulated by agonists. Morphine also potentiated phosphoinositide breakdown and intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization in human platelets stimulated by collagen (1 microg/ml). Moreover, morphine (0.6-5 microM) markedly inhibited prostaglandin E(1) (10 microM)-induced cyclic AMP formation in human platelets, while yohimbine (0.1 microM) significantly reversed the inhibition of cyclic AMP by morphine (0.6 and 1 microM) in this study. The thrombin-evoked increase in pH(i) was markedly potentiated in the presence of morphine (1 and 5 microM). Morphine (2 and 5 mg/g) significantly shortened the time require to induce platelet plug formation in mesenteric venules. We concluded that morphine may exert its potentiation in platelet aggregation by binding to alpha(2)-adrenoceptors in human platelets, with a resulting inhibition of adenylate cyclase, thereby reducing intracellular cyclic AMP formation followed by increased activation of phospholipase C and the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger. This leads to increased intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, and finally potentiation of platelet aggregation and of the ATP release reaction.
