The role of green roofs in mitigating Urban Heat Island effects in the metropolitan area of Adelaide,South Australia

Changing an urban environment and replacing vegetated surfaces with low albedo materials is one of the reasons for increasing temperatures in an urban environment and consequently also one of the key causes of urban heat island effects. In this study, an experimental investigation at the micro-scale and also a numerical simulation at the macro-scale of a typical urban environment in Adelaide were conducted to estimate the potential for mitigating the UHI effect. The results showed that existing low albedo materials such as asphalt, metal roofs and brick pavements contribute to the heat island potential. Also, urban development and a lack of natural vegetation contribute to increased temperatures in cities. The ability of two types of extensive and intensive green roofs to reduce the surrounding micro-climate temperature were monitored. The results showed that they have significant cooling effects in summer time and could behave as an insulation layer to keep buildings warmer in the winter. Furthermore, different scenarios of adding green roofs to the Adelaide urban environment were investigated using the Envi–MET model. The scenario modelling of adding green roofs in a typical urban area in Adelaide, Australia, supported the hypothesis that this can lead to reductions in energy consumption in the Adelaide urban environment. Also an increased use of other water sensitive urban design technologies such as green walls and street trees together with the adoption of high albedo materials is recommended for achieving the optimum efficiency in terms of reducing urban temperatures and mitigating urban heat island effects.

牛羊胎盘免疫调节因子的提取及对PANC-Ⅰ增殖和迁移影响的比较

胎盘免疫调节因子(placenta immunoregulating factor,PF)是从胎盘提取的小分子多肽,对病毒性疾病、免疫缺陷疾病及恶性肿瘤等具有潜在的临床应用价值.为检测牛(Bos taurus)和绵羊(Ovis aries)胎盘免疫调节因对人(Homo sapiens)胰腺癌细胞(pancreatic cancer cells-Ⅰ,PANC-Ⅰ)增殖与迁移的影响,本研究对从屠宰场获得的牛和绵羊胎盘进行分离,利用双酶水解法制备PF,将质量浓度为100～2 000 ng/mL的牛、羊PF作用于体外培养的PANC-Ⅰ细胞,以3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-5-(3-羧甲酯基)-2-(4-磺苯基)-2H-四唑(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium,MTS)法观察细胞增殖抑制率,应用流式细胞技术检测其对PANC-Ⅰ细胞周期的影响.并利用Transwell迁移实验检测添加PF对PANC-Ⅰ细胞迁移能力的影响,同时通过实时荧光定量PCR法检测肿瘤抑制基因(tumor suppressor gene,PS3)和细胞周期依赖性蛋白激酶抑制因子1A基因(cyclin-dependent kinaseinhibitor 1A,P21)的表达情况.结果显示,17.11 g绵羊胎盘制得0.588 mg PF,6.61 g牛胎盘制得0.312 mgPF,胎盘质量与所得PF的质量比约为20 000∶1.在体外培养的PANC-Ⅰ细胞培养液中添加PF,从形态上观察,牛羊PF对PANC-Ⅰ细胞没有明显的影响.绵羊PF处理后PANC-Ⅰ细胞增殖抑制率为9.75％～22.89％,牛PF处理后PANC-Ⅰ细胞增殖抑制率为-3.81％～23.56％,增殖抑制率最显著的绵羊PF浓度为500 ng/mL,牛PF浓度为1 000 ng/mL.绵羊PF在浓度为500 ng/mL时,PANC-Ⅰ细胞的PI和SPF最低,而牛PF各浓度下的胰腺癌细胞增殖指数(proliferation index,PI)和增殖活性(S-phase fraction,SPF)没有明显的变化.同时,牛羊PF对PANC-Ⅰ细胞的迁移能力无显著影响.牛羊PF使PANC-Ⅰ细胞P53表达上调而P21表达下调.上述结果表明,在一定浓度下,PF对体外培养的PANC-Ⅰ细胞增殖有负调控作用,且牛羊胎盘免疫调节因子对胰腺癌细胞的影响不同,可能因为其存在的活性成分有区别.本研究为胰腺癌的治疗提供了新的思路.

绿肥影响农田土传病害的研究进展

土传病害是制约我国农业可持续发展的因素之一。绿肥作为高效清洁的有机肥源,与主作物合理搭配,可有效降低主作物土传病害的发生和危害,是减少化学药剂使用的重要措施。因此,综述绿肥对土传病害的防控效果与机制,对于绿肥推广应用和土传病害绿色防控具有重要意义。绿肥影响作物土传病害的研究主要集中于土传真菌病害和线虫病害,且大多数研究表明,绿肥可通过增强主作物整体抗病水平,对病原菌的化感抑制作用和改善土壤理化性质,增加土壤微生物中拮抗菌多样性和丰富度等,显著降低主作物土传病害发病率和严重程度。然而,绿肥影响主作物病害的作用机制研究不够深入,绿肥-主作物搭配模式和绿肥调控主作物病害的社会经济学效益仍需探究。同时,加强绿肥-主作物病害一体化防控及绿肥与根际促生菌、生防菌等其他有机改良剂或与适当的化学防控措施之间协同作用的研究,是未来需要加强的研究方向。     

绵羊BMP15基因B2突变可视化检测技术的建立

骨形态发生蛋白15（bone morphogenetic protein 15,BMP15）基因突变对绵羊排卵率、产仔数以及繁殖力有很大影响,本研究旨在建立快速可视化检测BMP15基因B2突变的技术。将改良的扩增阻滞突变系统（amplification refractory mutation system,ARMS）与核酸染料SYBR Green Ⅰ结合,针对BMP15基因B2突变设计ARMS特异性引物,使引物下游3'端的最后一个碱基为A,并在下游引物3'端的第3位碱基处设计额外的错配,以提高引物的特异性;经ARMS PCR扩增后,向产物中加入SYBR Green Ⅰ,通过肉眼观察PCR管内的颜色变化来检测BMP15基因的B2突变。经测序发现所采集的样本均为野生型,因此,利用重叠延伸PCR构建BMP15基因B2突变型模板,测序结果显示BMP15基因B2突变型模板构建成功。ARMS PCR结果显示,ARMS特异性引物能够只扩增突变型模板,而不会扩增野生型模板,且扩增效果良好。ARMS PCR扩增后加入SYBR Green Ⅰ发现已知野生型模板与阴性对照一致,呈SYBR Green Ⅰ原始颜色橙黄色,而已知突变型模板呈亮绿色,且色差明显,肉眼可辨。用建立的可视化检测BMP15基因B2突变的技术检测50个小尾寒羊基因组DNA （随机向其中20个样本中加入构建的BMP15基因B2突变型模板）,将可视化检测的突变型样本编号与混合样本时记录的编号对比,结果表明该技术能够准确检测绵羊BMP15基因的B2突变,且准确率高达100%。将构建的BMP15基因B2突变型的模板进行梯度稀释,对本试验可视化检测体系的灵敏度进行检测,发现ARMS可视化检测技术的灵敏度达到0.006 ng/μL。因此,本研究建立的技术能够可视化地检测绵羊BMP15基因B2突变,且准确率高,有望为高繁殖力绵羊的选育提供技术支持。     

Green tea polyphenols supplementation alters immunometabolism and oxidative stress in dairy cows with hyperketonemia

Peripartal cows often experience negative energy balance, and are therefore prone to suffering from metabolic diseases such as hyperketonemia, which causes financial losses in dairy farms. This study aimed to investigate the effect of green tea polyphenol (GTP) supplementation during the periparturient period on production performance, oxidative stress and immunometabolism in dairy cows with hyperketonemia. One hundred Holstein cows were assigned to GTP (0.2 g/kg DM; n = 50) or control (without GTP; n = 50) group based on body weight, previous milk yield, and parity on d 15 before expected parturition. Subsequently, 10 cows with hyperketonemia were selected from each group, according to blood β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) concentration between 1.2 and 2.9 mmol/L from 2 to 3 d postpartum. All cows were fed a close-up diet and a lactation diet with or without GTP supply from 15 d prepartum until 30 d postpartum. Milk and blood samples were obtained from 20 cows selected with hyperketonemia on 10, 20, and 30 d postpartum. Compared with control cows, greater milk yield and lower somatic cell count were observed in GTP cows. The GTP group had lower concentrations of BHBA, free fatty acids, cholesterol, triglyceride, reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and hydrogen peroxide, greater concentrations of glucose, lower activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and glutamyl transpeptidase, alongside greater activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and total antioxidant capacity. Additionally, GTP supplementation up-regulated concentrations of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10, but down-regulated concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, interleukin-2, interleukin-8, and interferon-γ in plasma. Greater concentrations of plasma immunoglobulin G were also detected in the GTP group. Overall, the data suggested that GTP supplementation from 15 d prepartum to 30 d postpartum improved the milk yield and health status in cows with hyperketonemia during early lactation.     

黄土高原半干旱区退耕还林对土壤微量元素的影响

为了探明黄土高原半干旱区退耕还林对土壤微量元素(Cu、Zn、Mn、Mo、Fe)含量的影响及其与影响因子间的关系,以甘肃省关川河流域退耕还林地和农地为研究对象,使用有效性评价、通径分析等方法研究土壤微量元素与土壤环境变量间的关系。结果表明:退耕后土壤微量元素含量随土层深度增加而减少,在表层土壤中呈一定的富集现象。退耕地Cu、Mn、Mo的有效性指数高于Zn、Fe,侧柏林地有效性综合指数高于云杉林地。偏相关分析显示,退耕还林区土壤微量元素有效态含量的主要影响因素为土壤有机质、全钾、全氮与土壤含水率;回归分析显示,土壤环境因子可解释38.1%~73.8%有关土壤微量元素含量的变异;通径分析表明,土壤全钾对土壤微量元素的直接作用最大,土壤全氮对微量元素的间接作用最大;决策分析表明,土壤全钾与土壤有机质是退耕还林区微量元素含量的决策变量,而土壤含水率是土壤微量元素的限制变量。
