and laminin on adhesion and proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell

AIM:To explore the effects of PMA(phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, a tumor promoter, mimicking the action of diacylglycerol on PKC)and laminin on the adhesion and the proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells, and provide a new clue to liver cancer treatment.METHODS:Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line(BEL-7402)was used to identify the endogenous laminin and protein kinase C-α(PKC-α) expression, and the effects of laminin and PMA on the adhesion and the proliferation were also investigatedin vitro.RESULTS:By the effect of exogenous laminin, human hepatocellular carcinoma cell (BEL-7402) possessed endogenous laminin expression and increased the adhesion and the proliferation, which was showed the synergistic action by the effect of PMA in combination. By the action of PMA alone, the proliferation and the PKC-α expression increased by exogenous laminin were decreased, and the adhesion and the endogenous laminin expression were increased.CONCLUSIONS:The finding suggested that the adhesion and the proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell were closely related to the effects of endogenous or exogenous laminin, which were associated with cPKC-α activity. Therefore, the application of anti-laminin antibody in combination with PKC antagonist might be a new clue to find out the therapy for liver cancer.     

Biodegradation of Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate

The paper researches on the degradation of LAS (Linear Alkyl benzene Sulphonate) by combining AS1.860 immobilized with low intensity ultrasonic irradiation. The paper also discusses the influence of pH, rotary velocity, LAS concentration and the condition of low intensity ultrasonic irradiation on the degradation of LAS, the degradation rate of LAS is the main index of our experiment, the results of orthogonal test shows that low ultrasonic irradiation can increase the metabolizing of microorganism cells and facilitate the biodegradation of immobilized cells to LAS, here we research the degradation condition of 50mg/L LAS simulation wastewater with low ultrasonic irradiation, and the results show that the influence is obvious, the optimization degradation rate is about 83%, nine point five percent higher than that of the immobilized cells without ultrasonic irradiation.     

黄河兰州段邻苯二甲酸酯类有机污染物健康风险评价

近年来黄河兰州段的邻苯二甲酸酯类污染日渐严重,为研究黄河兰州段水体中邻苯二甲酸酯类有机污染物对人体产生的潜在健康危害风险,根据黄河兰州段2005年5个采样点水质监测数据,应用美国环境保护局（USEPA）的健康风险评价方法对邻苯二甲酸酯类有机污染物通过饮水和皮肤接触2种途径进入人体的健康风险进行了初步评价。结果表明,黄河兰州段邻苯二甲酸酯类有机污染物的非致癌风险指数值均小于1,其中邻苯二甲酸二（2-乙基己基）酯的非致癌风险指数值相对较高,在10-2数量级,偏高于邻苯二甲酸正丁酯。从位于兰州市饮用水水源地范围内的3号采样点（S3）采集的水样中邻苯二甲酸酯类有机污染物的非致癌风险指数值偏高,具有较高的健康风险。不同暴露途径健康风险的对比表明,饮水是水体中有毒有机污染物危害人体健康的最主要途径,其对人体健康总风险的贡献远大于洗浴皮肤暴露。常规的自来水处理工艺不能有效地去除源水中微量PAEs等有机污染物,因此地面水特别是饮用源水PAEs污染具有较大的健康风险。与国内其他地区相比,黄河兰州段邻苯二甲酸酯类有机污染物的非致癌风险亦较高。     

复合表面活性剂（SDS/Tw-80）对长链烷烃的增溶和柴油污染土壤的洗脱作用

表面活性剂能够快速高效处理石油污染土壤,但由于所选用表面活性剂的类型和配比、土壤性质、污染物种类的差异,洗脱效果和作用原理不尽相同。通过研究复合表面活性剂SDS/Tw-80对石油烷烃的表观增溶和从受试土壤中的洗脱过程,探讨和阐释影响洗脱过程的各种因素。结果表明,复合表面活性剂对污染土壤中的石油烷烃洗脱效果较单一表面活性剂更好,且随复合表面活性剂SDS/Tw-80中的组分配合比例的增大而显著提高,同时能够降低胶束的成束浓度要求,扩大目标物在单位胶束内的容纳量,促使各目标长链烷烃进入胶束内部的趋势加大。复合表面活性剂的适用不仅能够改善胶束构成,且组分间表现出显著的协同作用,从而使在保证较高洗脱效率的同时能够大幅降低试剂用量,有效地克服土壤的吸附作用,把对土壤性状的影响降低,对土壤质量的恢复具有积极意义。     

Analysis of flowering,stigmas yield and qualitative traits of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) as affected by environmental conditions

Saffron is well known for its use as a condiment spice, as a dye and traditional medicine. Saffron is experiencing an increasing interest mainly due to its peculiar and manifold properties of the metabolic pool of its stigmas, mainly crocetin esters and picrocrocin. This species is cultivated in environments with very different climatic conditions and with very different corm rates from place to place, passed down over the centuries. The aim of this study was therefore the evaluation of the influence of rainfall, temperature and corm density on flower phenology, stigmas yield and main compositional characteristics of two saffron corms provenience. Flowering beginning in saffron seems to be influenced by the combination of temperature and soil moisture, whilst its flowering calendar proves independent of corm provenance, environment and plant density. On the contrary, the studied factors exert a strong effect on both total stigmas yield and qualitative characteristics: colder environment resulted in a higher flower production, but lower quality of stigmas. Flower number was positively correlated with the stigmas yield, but negatively with its unitary weight. The content of crocetin esters and picrocrocin has been evaluated according to the spectrophotometric ISO normative, which ranked the samples into three qualitative decreasing categories (I–III). The spectrophotometric data showed positive correlation with the unitary stigmas weight and negative with stigmas production.     

棉籽油制备生物柴油的生物降解性能

以棉籽油甲酯、乙酯生物柴油及其与石化柴油形成的调和油为研究对象,采用改进的Sturm试验方法,考察了生物柴油及其调和油的生物降解特点。研究表明：在有氧的水环境中生物降解28 d,棉籽乙酯生物柴油与甲酯生物柴油生物降解率分别达99.7%和99.1%;对甲酯生物柴油而言,生物柴油体积分数为50%和20%的调和油的28 d生物降解率分别为93.8%和80.8%,而乙酯生物柴油体积分数为50%和20%的调和油的28 d生物降解率分别95.7%和81.9%,但在相同条件下,0#柴油生物降解率仅49.9%;生物柴油在调和油中体积比越大,调和油的生物降解速度越快,生物柴油对石化柴油的生物降解具有促进作用。该文对认识棉籽油生物柴油在环境中的消解规律,控制环境污染具有一定的意义。     

菜心对邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)吸收途径的初步研究

采用玻璃室处理和污染土壤覆盖原土壤来控制PAEs来源进行盆栽试验，应用GC/MS联机检测技术初步研究了菜心对PAEs的吸收途径。结果表明：污染土壤处理与污染土壤上覆盖原土壤处理相比，前者菜心茎叶中DBP和DEHP的含量均高于后者，但相差不大，表明菜心茎叶可以吸收污染土壤中挥发出来的DBP和DEHP，而根系吸收运移是菜心茎叶中DBP和DEHP的主要来源途径。玻璃室处理增加了菜心茎叶和根系中DBP的含量，而对DEHP的影响趋势不明显。DBP与DEHP相比，前者更易被菜心根系吸收并向地上部(茎叶)运移，后者主要滞留在根部。     

富里酸对土壤中DnBP的降解及微生物活性的影响

为探究富里酸对有机污染物DnBP的降解和土壤微生物活性的作用,采用土壤培养试验,研究了FA对土壤中DnBP的降解动力学过程及土壤微生物活性的影响规律。结果表明,FA的添加缩短了DnBP的降解半衰期,FA各处理组的半衰期为对照处理的48.1%~67.7%;FA促进了土壤的基础呼吸,40mg g-1处理组促进作用最强,最大CO2释放量为空白对照组的40.87倍;而过氧化氢酶活性则表现出了低浓度FA(10~20mg g-1)促进,高浓度FA(40~160mg g-1)抑制的变化趋势;FA对土壤脱氢酶活性主要表现为促进作用,40~160mg g-1FA对脱氢酶活性促进作用显著。相关分析结果表明FA用量与土壤中DnBP降解率呈正相关,与过氧化氢酶活性呈极显著负相关,与土壤呼吸强度、脱氢酶活性呈极显著正相关。通径分析结果表明FA用量与土壤中DnBP降解率之间有较强的直接效应,还与土壤呼吸强度、土壤酶之间存在间接效应,从而影响DnBP的降解。
