南方稀土采矿恢复地土壤稀土元素含量及植物吸收特征

通过野外取样调查和室内ICP-MS测定,研究了福建省长汀县稀土矿治理地土壤和主要植物中稀土元素的含量、分布以及转移特征.结果表明:稀土矿治理地的土壤养分含量较低;土壤中稀土元素的含量为507.40～841.37 mg· kg-1,高于对照地土壤的含量.稀土矿治理地土壤中稀土元素主要为交换态,其含量占总量的61％～98％.稀土矿治理地土壤中稀土元素从原来偏单一的交换态转变为多种形态共存,其中有机态含量显著升高.植物根、茎、叶中稀土元素含量分别为40.27～986.01、5.14 ～ 206.58、6.81 ～ 2364.51mg·kg-1.稀土元素在植物各器官中含量水平除芒萁为叶＞根＞茎,其他植物均表现为根＞叶＞茎.根据不同植物吸收和积累稀土元素的差异,可将矿区治理地植物分为富集型和根部囤积型植物.芒萁属于富集型植物,桉树、高羊茅、宽叶雀稗、木荷和油茶属于根部囤积型植物.     

Effects of rare earth elements on telomerase activity and apoptosis of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

To study the effects of rare earth exposure on human telomerase and apoptosis of mononuclear cells from human peripheral blood (PBMNCs). The blood contents of 15 rare earth elements, including La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, and Y, were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay and flow cytometer analysis were carried out to analyze the telomerase activity and apoptosis of PBMNCs, respectively. The total content of rare earth elements in the blood showed significant differences between the exposed group and the control group. The rare earth exposure increased the telomerase activity and the percentages of cells in the S-phase and the G₂/M phase in PBMNCs, but it had no effect on the apoptotic rate of PBMNCs. Under the exposure to lower concentrations of rare earth elements, the telomerase activity of PBMNCs in the exposed group was higher than that of the control group, and there was no effect on the apoptotic rate of PBMNCs, but promoted the diploid DNA replication and increased the percentages of G₂/M- and S-phase cells.     

稀土离子与Ca~(2 )在生物体内的相互作用机制及应用

稀土元素在生物领域内的研究,可以分为两个方面：稀土的生物效应和稀土在其它研究中的应用．稀土元素的生物效应,主要集中在动物和医学领域．由于稀土元素的离子半径及化学性质和钙离子很相似,因此在研究稀土的生物效应时,对稀土离子与钙离子的关系颇为重视．稀土作为一种特殊的研究工具,在许多生物学研究领域中,克服了一些因其它方法的局限而不能得到的结果或简化了其中的过程．

依据文献、标本与野外调查,简要回顾了历史上记录的广州蕨类植物,阐明了广州目前分布的蕨类植物的种类、区系特点、生态与地理分布、以及珍稀蕨类植物的种类与保护现状.广州地区有蕨类植物37科82属176种,其中乔芒萁(Dicranopteris gigantea)、刺边膜蕨(Hymenophyllm spinosum)和裸果鳞毛蕨(Dryopteris gymnosora)为广东分布新记录.广州蕨类植物区系以金星蕨科(Thelypteridaceae)、鳞毛蕨科(Dryopteridaceae)、水龙骨科(Polypo-diaceae)、蹄盖蕨科(Athyriaceae)和风尾蕨科(Pteridaceae)的植物最为丰富,没有本地特有种,亚洲热带亚热带分布成分和东亚分布成分占绝对优势.这176种蕨类植物中,约80%的种类生活在密林阴湿生境,约20%生活在疏林或灌草丛干旱生境,只有2种水生蕨类植物.在水平分布上,广州蕨类植物呈北多南少的分布格局,约90%的种类汇集在广州东北部的从化山区,74种在广州仅见于该山区.从物种多度上看,个体数量多(Cop2)的有33种,尚多(Cop1)的有48种,稀少(Sp)的有53种,很少(So1)的有41种.华南马尾杉(Phlegmariurus austrosbzicus)、福建观音座莲(Angiopteris fokiensis)、刺边膜蕨(Hymenophy llum spmosum)、粗齿桫椤(Alsophila denticulata)、小黑桫椤(A.m etteniana)、黑桫椤(A.podophylla)、桫椤(A.spinulosa)、水蕨(Ceratopteris thdictroides)、羽裂叶双盖蕨(Diplazium tomitaroanum)、闽浙圣蕨(Dictyocline mingchegensts)、微毛凸轴蕨(Metathelypteris adscendens)、峨眉茯蕨(Leptogramma scdlanll)、苏铁蕨(Brainea insignis)、珠芽狗脊(Woodwardia prolifera)和黑鳞复叶耳蕨(Arachniodes nigrospinosa)等15种被评估为广州的珍稀植物,它们亟待有效的保护.     

Urinary Scandium as Predictor of Exposure: Effects of Scandium Chloride Hexahydrate on Renal Function in Rats

Some of the rare earth elements such as Sc are believed to be non-toxic and, at present, are widely utilized for the replacement of toxic heavy metals in technological applications, but they are not entirely free of toxicity, with hidden potential health risks. In this animal experiment, we report the urinary scandium (Sc) excretion rate and nephrotoxiciy in male Wistar rats. For this purpose, the rats were given a single dose of a solution of scandium chloride by intraperitoneal injection. The Sc excretion (U-Sc) was determined in 24-h urine samples by inductively coupled plasma–argon emission spectrometry along with the Sc nephrotoxicity, urine volume (UV), creatinine (Crt), β-2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG). A dose-dependent Sc excretion of 0.0063% (r = 0.97) via 24-h urine was confirmed. The administration of Sc induced a significant decrease of UV and Crt and a significant increase of NAG and β2-MG. These results suggest that U-Sc can be a useful tool for monitoring Sc exposure. The formation of Sc colloidal conjugates that deposit in glomeruli may be the cause of a reduction of the glomerular filtration rate. We propose that the analytical method and results described in this study will be of great importance for future toxicological studies on Sc exposure.

Photoluminescent properties of Eu3+‐Eu2+ activated MAl2SixO2x + 4 (M = Mg,Ca, Sr,Ba) phosphors prepared in air

In this paper, MAl₂Si_xO_2x+4:Eu²⁺/Eu³⁺ (Eu²⁺ + Eu³⁺ = 2%, molar ratio; M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2) phosphors with different SiO₂ concentrations (the ratio of SiO₂ to MAl₂O₄ is n%, n = 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, respectively) were prepared by high‐temperature solid‐state reaction under atmospheric air conditions. Their structures and photoluminescent properties were systematically researched. The results indicate that Eu³⁺ ions have been reduced and Eu²⁺ ions are obtained in air through the self‐reduction mechanism. The alkaline earth metal ions and doping SiO₂ strongly affect the crystalline phase and photoluminescent properties of samples, including microstructures, relative intensity of Eu²⁺ to Eu³⁺, location of emission lines/bands. It is interesting and important that the emission color and intensities of europium‐doped various phosphors which consist of aluminosilicate matrices prepared under atmospheric air conditions could be modulated by changing the kinds of alkaline earth metal and the content of SiO₂.
