Dramatic Changes of Matrix Metalloproteinases-7 and Lysozyme in the Ulcerative Colitis of Mice Induced by Dextran Sulfate Sodium

Ulcerative colitis （UC） is a lifelong illness with profound emotional and social impacts, and could cause serious damage to large intestine, especially in colon. However, the pathogenesis of UC remained unclear. The present study attempts to find out the role of matrix metalloproteinases-7 （MMP-7） and lysozyme in the pathogenesis of UC through a mice model induced by dextran sulfate sodium （DSS）. The UC model was evaluated both by disease activity index （DAI） and the intestinal histopathology. The results show that there is a high correlation between the DAI score and the pathological changes of colon. Interleukin-6 （IL-6） serum levels and large intestinal fluids levels in UC mice are always higher than that of the control groups, which might be associated with the degree of the inflammation damage in the colon. The change tendency of the MMP-7 mRNA and protein expressions are both up-regulated firstly and then down-regulated from 1 to 5 d in the colon, but only the MMP-7 protein is up-regulated at 7 d again. The up-regulated MMP-7 levels in the early stage of UC may play a protective role through the activated defensins, while the down-regulated levels in the mid-later stage of UC may be connected with the severe lesions in the colon. However, the up-regulated MMP-7 levels in the later stage of UC in the colon may also contribute to the tissue repair or be served as a marker to CRC （colorectal cancer）. The distribution of lysozyme protein indicates that there may be Paneth-like cells in the colon. Both the changes of MMP-7 and lysozyme in the small intestine may play a protective role for the safe environment of the whole gut, especially to the colon of UC.     

Study on the Acute Toxicity of Rare Earth Yttrium to Earthworms under the Stress of Leaching Agent Ammonium Sulfate

[目的]考察浸矿剂硫酸铵（NH4）2SO4胁迫下稀土离子钇的毒性研究。[方法]选择蚯蚓作为土壤生态环境污染指示生物,采用滤纸接触法研究硫酸铵胁迫下稀土钇（ Y）对蚯蚓的急性毒性效应。[结果]①稀土钇单一染毒,蚯蚓的48 h 半致死率浓度为 LC50=213.41 mg/L、24 h半致死率浓度为 LC50=322.63 mg/L。②硫酸铵单一染毒下,蚯蚓的48 h半致死率浓度为 LC50=13.89 g/L、24 h半致死率浓度为LC50=15.05 g/L。③低浓度10 g/L的硫酸铵与稀土钇复合染毒,蚯蚓的48 h半致死率浓度LC50=198.65 g/L、24 h 半致死率浓度 LC50=399.85 g/L;中浓度14 g/L的硫酸铵与稀土钇复合染毒,蚯蚓的48 h半致死率浓度 LC50=167.3 mg/L、24 h半致死率浓度 LC50=256.73 mg/L;高浓度20 g/L的硫酸铵与稀土钇复合染毒,蚯蚓的48 h半致死率浓度 LC50=31.03 mg/L、24 h的LC50=127.65 mg/L。[结论]低浓度的硫酸铵降低稀土钇对蚯蚓的毒性,产生一定的拮抗作用。中浓度的硫酸铵增加稀土钇对蚯蚓的毒性,产生较明显的协同作用。高浓度硫酸铵显著增加了稀土钇对蚯蚓的毒性。稀土钇染毒下蚯蚓死体更易断裂,而活体对针刺反应相对不灵敏。

两种多糖对齐口裂腹鱼生长、血清抗氧化指标及组织镉积累量的影响

为研究0.40%硫酸软骨素(CS)和酸解氧化魔芋葡甘露聚糖(AOKGM)对齐口裂腹鱼生长、抗氧化及镉胁迫之后抗氧化性能和组织中(肝脏、肾脏和鳃)镉积累量的影响,实验选取450尾初始体质量为(98.00±8.54) g的齐口裂腹鱼分为3组(对照组、AOKGM组和CS组),进行为期8周的养殖实验,然后每个实验组选取120尾齐口裂腹鱼暴露在镉环境中,进行15 d的镉胁迫实验(镉浓度分别为0、0.10、0.25和1.00 mg/L),分别对2种多糖在齐口裂腹鱼生长及抗氧化性能方面进行相关研究,以及分析镉胁迫后2种多糖的抗氧化性能和组织中镉的积累量。结果显示,与对照组相比,2种多糖显著提高了齐口裂腹鱼的特定生长率、脾体指数和头肾指数;粗脂肪、灰分和粗蛋白质相对于对照组也有显著影响。CS和AOKGM均显著提高血清超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、总蛋白(TP)和一氧化氮(NO)含量,降低葡萄糖(GLU)含量;CS能显著提高血清谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性和胆固醇(TC)含量,降低丙二醛(MDA)含量。结果显示,与镉浓度0 mg/L相比,MDA含量在镉浓度为1.00 mg/L时最高,SOD活性在镉浓度为1.00 mg/L时最低,GSH-Px活性在镉浓度为0.25和1.00 mg/L时显著降低,NO含量在镉浓度为0.25和1.00 mg/L时显著升高。镉胁迫实验中,与对照组相比,2种多糖组的SOD活性显著提高,MDA含量降低;NO含量在镉浓度0.10～1.00 mg/L胁迫时显著降低;CS显著提高镉浓度0.10、0.25 mg/L胁迫下的GSH-Px活性,AOKGM组GSH-Px活性在镉浓度为0.25、1.00 mg/L时显著高于对照组。与无镉组对比,齐口裂腹鱼肝脏、肾脏和鳃镉的积累量在各镉浓度下显著增加;而CS和AOKGM均能够降低机体组织镉含量。研究表明,在饲料中添加0.40%的2种多糖均能提高齐口裂腹鱼生长、抗氧化性能,降低镉胁迫下鱼体肝脏、肾脏和鳃中镉的积累量,缓解镉对齐口裂腹鱼造成的氧化损伤,为齐口裂腹鱼饲料的开发提供新的理论依据。     

不同Zn源及水平对肉兔生长性能和组织Zn沉积的影响

为了研究不同水平ZnSO4和Met-Zn对家兔生产性能及组织Zn沉积的影响,选用2.5月龄布列塔尼亚肉兔120只,随机分成10组,基础日粮中分别以ZnSO4和Met-Zn形式添加70、105、140、1752、10 mg/kgZn,预试期7 d,正试期30 d。结果表明,在Zn添加量为70~140 mg/kg时,Met-Zn对家兔生产性能的影响优于ZnSO4。日粮Zn含量在70~210 mg/kg时,肉兔肝脏、肾脏、脾脏及背最长肌的Zn含量不呈现明显的变化趋势。     

混凝土灌注桩中混含硫酸盐的时变分布规律

硫酸盐环境下,为模拟混凝土灌注桩施工时混入的硫酸盐在桩中的时变分布行为,基于Fick第二定律并结合初始条件与边界条件,应用分离变量法,建立硫酸盐在桩中的时变分布模型。通过算例将本文解与传统解进行比较,并进一步探讨了硫酸盐扩散分布的影响因素和影响规律。结果表明,传统解用于分析混凝土灌注桩桩中硫酸盐扩散有局限性,而本文解相对于传统解具有一定的优势。混凝土灌注桩半径越小,应用传统解分析灌注桩中硫酸盐时变分布误差较大,同时,误差随时间增大。硫酸盐在混凝土灌注桩中的时变分布呈沙漏形,沿半径方向x=0处和桩表面处扩散行为明显,在x=0处附近区域,初始第一年扩散速率较快,在后续的50 a内扩散速率显著减小,但每10 a的平均速率基本相同。扩散系数和初始浓度梯度对硫酸盐在混凝土灌注桩中的时变分布影响较大。     

集中排水甘蔗地酸性硫酸盐土壤酸化的减缓

Recent research results suggest that acidification of acid sulfate soils may be inhibited in well-drained estuarine floodplains in eastern Australia by the absence of natural creek levees,The lack of natural levees has allowed the inuudation of the land by regular tidal flooding prior to the construction of flood mitigation work.Such physiographical conditions prevent the development of pre-draingae pyrite-derived soil acidifica-tion that possibly occurred at many levee-protected sites in eastern Australian estuarine floodplains during extremely dry spells.Pre-drainage acidification is considered as an important condition for accumulation of soluble Fe and consequently,the creation of favourable environments for catalysed pyrite oxidation.Under current intensively drained onditions,the acid materials produced by ongoing pyrite oxidation can be rapidly removed from soil pore water by lateral leaching and acid buffering,resulting in low concentrations of soluble Fe in the pyritic layer,which could reduce the rate of pyrite oxidation.     

电解质阴离子和pH对可变电荷土壤硫酸盐吸附的影响

The effects of three electrolyte anions, ionic strength and pH on the adsorption of sulfate by two variable charge soils, with different surface charge properties were studied. Under the conditions of the same pH and ionic strength the effect of electrolyte anions on the adsorption of sulfate was in the order of Cl^- > NO₃^- > ClO₄^-, indicating the difference of the nature among these three anions. For Ferralsol in the same concentration of chloride and perchloride solutions, the two sulfate adsorption-pH curves could intersect at certain pH value. When pH was higher than the intersecting point, more sulfate was adsorbed in the perchloride solution, while when it was lower than the intersecting point, more sulfate was adsorbed in the chloride solution. In different concentrations of electrolyte solution, the curves of the amount of oxy-acid anion adsorbed, which changed with pH, could intersect at a certain pH, which is termed point of zero salt effect (PZSE) on adsorption. The nature of electrolyte anions influenced obviously the appearance of PZSE for sulfate adsorption. For ferralsol the curves of adsorption converged to about pH 7 in NaCl solution seemed to intersect in NaNO₃ solution and to have a typical PZSE for sulfate adsorption in NaClO₄ solution. For Acrisol the three curves of adsorption were nearly parallel in NaCl and NaNO₃ solutions and converged to pH 6.5 in NaClO₄ solution.     

几种利用方式下酸性硫酸盐土的环境风险及其连锁效应

研究并比较了不同利用方式下酸性硫酸盐土酸形态和铝形态的结构特征,分析了硫形态与酸形态、酸形态与铝形态之间的相关性。研究发现,酸性硫酸盐土的不同利用类型中,土壤酸度由大到小依次为:鱼塘塘基、荒稻田>稻田>荒旱地>改良稻田>蔗田>红树林迹地;活性铝含量由高到低依次为:荒旱地>鱼塘塘基、荒稻田>稻田>改良稻田>蔗田>红树林迹地。土壤酸度和铝形态含量的层间差异较为显著,多数随深度增加呈逐渐上升的趋势。酸性硫酸盐土中的硫形态—酸—铝形态之间有明显的连锁关系。     

NaCl和Na2SO4胁迫对蒲公英种子发芽及成苗的影响

以蒲公英种子为试材，在NaCl和Na2SO4盐溶液中发芽，幼苗在持续盐胁迫条件下成苗生长。结果表明，当浓度为3500mg／kg时，NaCl和Na2SO4分别严重抑制了蒲公英种子的发芽，达到极显著水平。NaCl对种子发芽率的抑制强于Na2SO4。蒲公英成苗胁迫试验中，NaCl，Na2SO4浓度分别为5000mg／kg时，严重影响蒲公英成苗率、幼苗根、茎的生长和鲜干重比值，对叶绿素含量影响不大。种子发芽期问适当浓度的NaCl和Na2SO4盐溶液胁迫有助于诱导蒲公英幼苗耐盐性的产生。
