饱水清代木材的构造腐朽程度及加固处理对其颜色的影响

以“小白礁I号”沉船主要用材为研究对象,系统研究了饱水考古木材构造特征、腐朽程度与加固剂种类对其加固处理颜色的影响。结果表明：加固剂可提高考古木材尺寸稳定性;坡垒（散孔材）比柚木（环孔材）的加固处理色差变化大;加固剂增重率和考古木材腐朽程度会影响其色差变化;加固剂分子量及其分子结构间差异是造成考古木材加固处理后各色度学参数变化规律不同的主要原因。     

1986—2016年黄河三角洲土地利用/覆被变化及景观格局分析

基于Landsat影像获取1986年、1996年、2006年和2016年的土地利用/覆被变化数据,使用变化轨迹模型和景观格局指数研究黄河三角洲近30年土地利用/覆被结构变化、变化轨迹时空特征及景观格局。结果表明：1996—2016年黄河三角洲耕地、人工水体、建设用地面积呈增加趋势,未利用地、林地、草地和天然水体面积减少,其中未利用地面积减少2 072.75 km²,变化幅度最大。人工水体、建设用地及耕地的增加速度不断减缓;草地和天然水体于1986—1996年缓慢增加,1996年后持续减少;林地、未利用地在3个时段均呈快速减少趋势。“人为因素”驱动轨迹面积占研究区总面积的56.13%,主要类型变化为耕地与人工水体,分布在河流两侧和滩涂向陆一侧;“自然因素”驱动轨迹占比15.80%,主要类型为变化为海域、草地和天然水体,集中分布在北部和东部沿海地区;研究区28.07%的土地利用/覆被类型未发生变化。黄河三角洲“人为因素”驱动轨迹的景观破碎度、集聚程度和结构复杂程度均高于“自然因素”驱动轨迹,人类活动在研究区土地利用/覆被变化过程中起主导作用。该研究结果可为黄河三角洲土地资源开发、管理与保护提供参考。     

Symbiotic N<Subscript>2</Subscript> fixation and nitrate utilisation in irrigated lucerne (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Medicago sativa</Emphasis>) systems

Symbiotic N₂ fixation by lucerne (Medicago sativa) has capacity to provide significant inputs of N to agro-ecosystems, and the species has also been shown to scavenge soil mineral N and thus act as a sink for excess reactive N. The balance between these two N cycle processes was investigated in an extensive irrigated lucerne growing region where nitrate contamination of groundwater has been reported. We sampled 18 permanent pure lucerne stands under irrigation for standing dry matter, total shoot N, and N₂ fixation using ¹⁵N natural abundance along with activity of the inducible enzyme nitrate reductase as indicators of use of soil NO₃⁻ by lucerne. On average 65% of lucerne N was obtained from symbiotic N₂ fixation. Converting standing dry matter estimates to annual N₂ fixation amounts we calculated average N₂ fixation of 311 kg N/ha, including N in roots and nodules. Uptake of N from soil by lucerne was calculated to be 181 kg N/ha/year. We were not able to identify the source of this soil mineral N, although nitrate reductase activity of lucerne was higher than that of non-N₂ fixing species examined.     

Mycoplasma pneumoniae induces IL-1β production through activating NLRP3 inflammasome by ROS in RAW264.7 cells

AIM: To investigate whether Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp)-induced interleukin-1β (IL-1β) production in RAW264.7 cells is through the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome via reactive oxygen species (ROS). ME-THODS: RAW264.7 cells were randomly divided into 3 groups. In normal group, RAW264.7 cells were treated without Mp. In model group, RAW264.7 cells were treated with 1∶ 10 multiplicity of infection (MOI) of Mp. In NAC group, RAW264.7 cells were pretreated with N- acetylcysteine (NAC) at a concentration of 5 mmol/L for 30 min before infection with Mp. The RAW264.7cells were infected with Mp (1∶ 10 MOI) for 4, 8, 16 and 24 h in model group and NAC group, respectively. The intracellular ROS level was analyzed by flow cytometry. The mRNA expressions of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 were detected by real-time PCR. The protein levels of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 p20 were determined by Western blot. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β in the supernatant were measured by ELISA. RESULTS: Compared with normal group, the production of ROS were significantly increased at 4, 8, 16 and 24 h after infection, the mRNA expression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 were increased at 8, 16 and 24 h after infection, the protein levels of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 p20 were increased at 16 and 24 h after infection, and the releases of IL-1β were increased at 24 h after infection in model group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the level of ROS in NAC group decreased, so as the expression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 at mRNA and protein levels and the releases of IL-1β in the supernatant at the corresponding time points. CONCLUSION: Mp may stimulate the ROS production to activate NLRP3 inflammasome in RAW264.7 cells.
