A Prospective Study Of Intravenous Catheter Contamination

A one year prospective study was conducted to determine the association between intravenous catheter contamination and increased dwell time, and to identify any related risk factors. Intravenous catheters obtained from 23 cats and 98 dogs in the Intensive Care Unit at the Ontario Veterinary College with dwell times > 72 hours for the test group (n=58) and < 72 hours for a corresponding control group (n=63) were cultured between April 1991 and March 1992. One hundred and twenty one catheters were cultured, 16 jugular, 99 cephalic, and 6 saphenous. The overall contamination rate was 13 out of 121 catheters cultured (10.7%); 9/63 (14.3%) control and 4/58 (6.9%) test catheters. The bacteria isolated were E.aerogenes, S.aureus (3), P.aeruginosa, P.multocida, and Bacillus sp (7). The Bacillus sp positive catheters (5 control and 2 test) were placed during a five day period, and contaminated gauze squares were identified as the source of infection in these catheters. After these were removed from the study, the group infection rate was 6.9% control and 3.6% test. There was no significant difference between groups and no associated risk factors were identified. We conclude that intravenous dwell time need not be restricted to <72 hours.     

梅州市五华县石灰岩矿区土壤铅污染现状研究及改良对策

对梅州市五华县几个石灰岩矿区周边土壤中铅含量进行了测定，结果表明，污染土壤的铅含量远远超出了国家土壤环境质量三级标准（对土壤生态环境产生影响的最低浓度值），对生态产生影响。根据内梅罗污染指数评定得出，矿区土壤铅污染达到重污染的程度。提出了减轻铅污染对生态环境危害的控制污染源措施和改良对策。

Movement of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians in the stems of lettuce and seed contamination

Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians , the causal agent of bacterial leaf spot of lettuce (BLS), can be seedborne, but the mechanism by which the bacteria contaminates and/or infects lettuce seed is not known. In this study, the capacity of X. campestris pv. vitians to enter and translocate within the vascular system of lettuce plants was examined. The stems of 8- to 11-week-old lettuce plants were stab-inoculated, and movement of X. campestris pv. vitians was monitored at various intervals. At 4, 8, 12 and 16 h post-inoculation (hpi), X. campestris pv. vitians was recovered from 2 to 10 cm above (depending on stem length) and 2 cm below the inoculation site. Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians was also recovered from surface-disinfested stem sections of spray-inoculated plants. Together, these results are consistent with X. campestris pv. vitians invading and moving systemically within the vascular system of lettuce plants. To investigate the mechanism of seed contamination, lettuce plants at the vegetative stage of growth were spray-inoculated with X. campestris pv. vitians and allowed to develop BLS. Seed collected from these plants had a 2% incidence of X. campestris pv. vitians external colonization, but no bacteria were recovered from within the seed.     

白菜镉积累基因型差异研究

 采用87 个白菜品种, 于春夏和秋冬两生长季节在镉(Cd) 污染土壤中进行植株地上部Cd 积累差异研究。结果表明, 不同品种间镉含量存在极显著差异, 且春夏季高于秋冬季。     

不同镉水平对白菜生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响

 不同镉(cd)水平对白菜[Brassica campestris L．ssp．chinensis (L．)Makino]两个品种生长及抗氧化酶活性研究结果表明：cd 1 mg·L^-1 对两品种生长(除‘杭州油冬儿’地上部干质量)及叶绿素 含量无显著影响，cd 10 mg·L^-1显著抑制植株生长(除‘沪青1号’根干质量)，减少叶绿素含量。cd可诱导叶片中活性氧0₂^-. 、H₂O₂的产生，引起膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)的累积。Cd 1 mg’L 显著增加‘沪青1号’过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)及‘杭州油冬儿’抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APx) 活性。cd 10 mg·L 显著降低两品种叶片超氧化物歧化酶( SOD ) 、CAT、APX及‘沪青1号’POD活性， 显著增加脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DR)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性。     

镉(Cd)对姬松茸菌丝生长的影响

以姬松茸子实体镉含量有差异的姬松茸菌株为材料，试图通过分析比较高低镉品种对镉的敏感度差异．找出镉影响菌丝生长的特征和规律，建立一种简便、有效的低镉筛选模式。实验结果表明：镉对姬松茸菌丝的影响具有一定的规律性，镉浓度为0～1mg／L，镉对姬松茸菌丝表现出刺激与毒害的双重作用，≥2．0mg／L时，对姬松茸菌丝表现出明显的毒害作用，0～16mg／L时．镉浓度与菌丝生长速度的关系适于以Cubic回归曲线描述；不同菌株对镉的敏感性有差异，但差异无显著性特征，不足以作为区分高低镉品种的有效指标。     

有机修饰改性对旱地土壤吸附镉离子特性的影响

研究了以不同比例十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTMAB)单一修饰和十六烷基三甲基溴化铵 十二烷基磺酸钠(CTMAB SDS)混合修饰土娄土耕层对重金属镉离子吸附的影响,结果表明:吸附量顺序为耕层原土>50%CTMAB>100%CTMAB 20%SDS>100%CTMAB,温度升高,吸附量上升;最佳吸附等温线模型可以用BET模型描述,热力学参数的研究表明,吸附自发性与吸附量具有相同的变化规律,反应的焓变与熵变共同决定了反应的自发性。从热力学角度对修饰改性土娄土对Cd2 吸附的机理进行了探讨。
