Effects of Environmental Cadmium on Cadmium Accumulation,Oxidative Response,and Microelements Regulation in the Liver and Kidney of Hexagrammos otakii

The effects of cadmium(Cd)on metal accumulation,microelements contents,and antioxidant responses in Hexagram-mos otakii were studied.The fish were exposed to 0.2,2.5,or 10μg L?1 Cd for 12 or 24 days.Then,the concentration of Cd and mi-croelements(Ca,Fe,Zn,and Se)were determined in the liver and kidney.Moreover,the activities of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT),and glutathione-S-transferase(GST),and the content of malondialdehyde(MDA)in the liver and kidney were also measured.A continuous accumulation of Cd was observed throughout the experimental period.Cd accumulation was higher in liver than that in the kidney,while Ca and Fe contents were lower in liver than those in the kidney.Cd exposure resulted in a decrease of Ca and Fe concentrations in the kidney,while there was no effect on the liver.Zn and Se remained unaffected with exposure to Cd.Cd exposure induced severe oxidative stress in H.otakii,as indicated by significant induction of the activities of SOD,CAT,and GST,and a simultaneous increase of MDA content.These data show that antioxidant enzymes and mi-croelements contents can be used as potential biomarkers to monitor environmental health in fish.     

泥蚶(Tegillarca granosa)重组铁蛋白富集重金属离子的特性及化学传感器的研究

利用泥蚶(Tegillarca granosa)铁蛋白原核表达工程菌获得的重组铁蛋白,通过圆二色光谱分析蛋白二级结构,扫描电镜和电感耦合等离子质谱研究重组铁蛋白富集Fe~(2+)、Mn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)、Cr~(3+)、Hg~(2+)、Pb~(2+)和As~(3+)等7种重金属离子的特性,同时探索利用重组铁蛋白修饰丝网印刷电极,设计和制备重组铁蛋白检测Pb~(2+)和Cd~(2+)浓度的电化学生物传感器。结果表明复性成功的铁蛋白多为完整的?-螺旋结构,而复性不成功的蛋白聚集体则多为无规卷曲。重组铁蛋白的直径和形态与富集的离子种类有关。泥蚶铁蛋白对单一金属离子Fe~(2+)和Mn~(2+)的富集凸显优势。对两种混合金属离子的富集大多表现为竞争关系。但重组铁蛋白对Hg~(2+)和As~(3+)混合组的富集量明显高于单一金属离子组的富集量,对Hg~(2+)和As~(3+)混合组的富集表现出协同促进作用。重组铁蛋白传感器对Pb~(2+)和Cd~(2+)溶液的最低检测限为10μg/L。     

牛角塘伴生型镉矿床特殊的成矿环境

牛角塘伴生型镉矿床镉的富集程度高,比克拉克值高4~5个数量级,比工业品位高十几倍至上百倍。早寒武世清虚洞期牛角塘地区处于台缘滩丘环境,在清虚洞组中上部形成了藻丘建造,发育了含藻类、藻球粒、藻鲕粒、核形石和生物碎屑的白云岩,是该矿床最主要的容矿岩性单元。矿体普遍呈似层状、透镜状和脉状产出,矿体产状与容矿围岩的产状基本一致,矿体的分布受清虚洞组藻丘建造以及有利岩性组合的联合控制,具明显的层控、相控、岩控的特点。藻丘建造还可能提供了部分矿源。镉的超常富集、成矿与麻江古油藏的成藏演化具有一定的关系:一是牛角塘矿床成矿年龄为433~510 Ma,即加里东运动的中晚期,而加里东运动中晚期是麻江古油藏的油气活动时期,麻江古油藏的早期演化阶段与牛角塘镉矿的成矿期大体是重合的,成藏应略早于成矿,成矿是在古油藏液态烃仍然存在的情况下进行的,且成矿期有可能一直延伸至油藏被破坏以后;二是油藏流体为成矿提供具还原性质的成矿流体和部分硫源。特殊的岩相古地理环境和古油藏为牛角塘矿床镉的富集和成矿提供了有利条件。     

Bioaccumulation of cadmium in the ascidian Styela clava (Herdman 1881)

The processes of bioaccumulation and elimination of cadmium by tissues of Styela clava (Herdman 1881) were investigated based on a semi-static two-compartment model. The kinetic parameters (accumulation rate constant k ₁, elimination rate constant k ₂, bioconcentration factor BCF, biological half-life t _1/2 and maximum equilibrium concentration C _Amax) were obtained by non-linear regression. The results showed that S. clava accumulates cadmium from its aquatic environment. BCF decreased with increasing metal concentration in the water, and when the accumulation achieved balance, C _Amax correlated positively with metal concentrations in the water. Concentrations of cadmium in different tissues of S. clava were: gonad > digestive gland ≈ other parts > tunic. The t _1/2 values for cadmium were 15.54-50.40 days in the accumulation process and 11.53-24.55 days in the elimination phase. The high rate of accumulation and elimination of cadmium from the body reveals the potential of the organism to be used as a biomonitor of short-term cadmium fluctuation in marine systems.     

Chitosan oligosaccharide-Ca complex accelerates the depuration of cadmium from Chlamys ferrari

This study investigated the effect of a chitosan oligosaccharide-Ca complex (COS-Ca) on the depuration of cadmium (Cd) from Chlamys ferrari. After exposure to 0.5 mg L-1 CdCl2 for 3 or 7 d, the scallops were treated by COS-Ca prior to determina-tion of Cd, calcium (Ca) and zinc (Zn) contents, Cd distribution in organs, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and antioxidant variables. Results showed that COS-Ca reduced Cd content in the viscera of the scallops, with highest Cd depuration rate (47%) observed on day 3. The COS-Ca concentration substantially affected Cd depuration, and the exposure to 8.75 mg L-1 COS-Ca led to significantly higher Cd depuration rate compared with those of lower COS-Ca concentrations (1.75, 3.5, 5.25, and 7.00 mg L-1). Distribution analysis of Cd in scallop organs indicated that COS-Ca significantly reduced Cd content in the kidney throughout the 5-d experiment, as well as in the gill during the early stage of Cd depuration. In addition, COS-Ca treatment decreased glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and MDA content while increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities on different days. Our work suggested COS-Ca complex treatment as an effective method for acceleration of Cd depuration from Cd-contaminated bivalves.     

辽河流域土壤酸化与作物籽实镉生物效应的地球化学预警

土壤酸化及其引发的生态安全问题是公众广泛关注、全球研究的热点。辽河流域多目标区域地球化学调查结果显示：当土壤中的w(CaO+K2O)≥3.86%时,土壤对酸性沉降物具有缓冲能力;当w(CaO+K₂O)<3.86%时,则土壤对酸性沉降物的缓冲能力显著下降。利用土壤酸化缓冲能力的地球化学预测模型,对全流域土壤酸化的缓冲能力进行了预测,指出辽河流域东部,即营口-鞍山-辽阳-沈阳-抚顺-铁岭-开源的广大区域内既是土壤酸化的脆弱区,也是作物籽实Cd超标的预警区,辽河流域土壤酸化区域将进一步扩大。

水稻土中重金属元素Cd、Pb的竞争吸附——以长株潭地区水稻土为例

对中国南方的3个水稻土样品进行了Cd、Pb单一离子和混合离子吸附特点的研究。结果表明,3个水稻土样品中Cd、Pb的吸附特点都相似,Langmuir等温方程可很好地描述Cd、Pb的吸附等温线。3个土壤样品中,有较高pH值和较低有机物、CEC浓度、粘土含量、高岭石含量的2个土壤样品对Cd、Pb有较大的吸附量,且其等温吸附拟合的最大吸附量（B）也较大。在两组分混合溶液中,尽管共存离子的存在影响了土壤对单一离子的吸附,同时土壤对Cd的吸附在一定程度上受影响的程度大,但3个土壤样品都表现出对Pb有强的吸附能力。在3个土壤样品中,Langmuir等温方程中Pb的健合能常数（K）都大于Cd的健合能常数（K）,混合溶液中的K值高于单一溶液的K值,表明2种金属离子对吸附位点的竞争提高了特定吸附位点的保持力,使金属离子在土壤中特定位点的吸附更加坚固。
