Experimental study on reduction of U (Ⅵ) by an anaerobic bacterium, Shewanella putrefaciens: Application to sandstone-hosted interlayer oxidation-zone type uranium deposits, China

An experimental study on reduction of U (Ⅵ) by anaerobic bacteria, Shewane//a putrefaciens, is first reported here in China. The experimental conditions were: 35℃ and pH =7.0-7.4, corresponding to a physicochemical environments in which the sandstone-hosted interlayer oxidation-zone type uranium deposit formed in Northwest China's Xinjiang. Bacteria adopted in the present experiment, Shewanella putrefaciens, occur extensively in natural environment. Our study shows that nano-crystal precipitates of uraninite quickly occurred on the surface of the cells within one week. It was found that the pitchblende was characterized by a random arrangement of uraninite nanocrystals (2-4 nm) in it, significantly different from natural pitchblende in which uraninite nanocrystals are arranged in order. Finally, a possible mechanism of uranium biomineralization by microorganisms in the deposits is discussed. Our investigation may supply a technical train of thoughts for bioremediation of nuclear-contaminated water environments and for underground dissolving extraction of the sandstone-hosted uranium ores.     

太湖表层沉积物多环芳烃的空间分布、来源及其风险

随着太湖流域社会与经济的发展,多环芳烃(PAHs)在各种环境介质中逐渐累积,污染日益严重,可能对太湖生态环境及周边人体健康构成威胁。为探究太湖沉积物PAHs的来源及生态风险,于2021年12月在太湖采集30个表层沉积物样品,利用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)检测样品中16种PAHs含量;利用受体模型和苯并[a]芘(BaP)毒性当量法进行来源解析及生态风险评估,并将各来源贡献与毒性当量浓度相结合,量化源风险。结果表明,太湖表层沉积物中16种PAHs总含量介于124~592 ng/g之间,平均值为294 ng/g,中值为279 ng/g;高环多环芳烃(HMW PAHs)为主要组分,占∑PAHs的67%。高含量区域位于竺山湾、梅梁湾、贡湖湾和西太湖,与国内外其他湖泊沉积物相比,太湖沉积物PAHs含量处于较低水平。源解析的结果表明,太湖表层沉积物中PAHs交通排放源贡献率为29.1%、煤炭燃烧源贡献率为26.7%、生物质燃烧源贡献率为28.7%、石油源贡献率为15.6%。生态风险评价结果表明,交通排放源、生物质燃烧源、煤炭燃烧源和石油源的BaP毒性当量含量(TEQ_BaP)均值分别为19.34、17.81、16.33和9.1 ng/g,均小于70 ng/g,几乎处于无风险水平。西太湖、贡湖湾和梅梁湾的部分区域ΣTEQ_BaP大于70 ng/g属于潜在风险区,具有一定潜在毒性。在后续的污染治理中应重点关注太湖西北部地区污染物的排放。本研究可为沉积物中PAHs污染的研究提供数据支撑,为地方政府精准、高效地管控PAHs污染提供理论依据。

新亚欧大陆桥,是又一条连接亚欧大陆的“黄金通道”。陆桥的开通,给河南城市群的崛起和城乡产业经济的发展带来了契机。作为经济可持续发展限制因素之一的地下水资源,在陆桥（河南段）经济带范围内,能否满足沿线经济对地下水的需求？研究结论是：地下水形势不容乐观,潜力尚有８７×１０８ｍ３／ａ,同时还存在超采量３８８×１０８ｍ３／ａ,城乡开发地下水强度不一,已引发多种环境地质问题,对陆桥（河南段）经济带的发展构成了严重威胁。为缓和陆桥（河南段）沿线用水矛盾,必须遵循“因地制宜,量水为出,适度开发,统一规划”的原则,在开源、节流、管理上做好用水文章,充分发挥地下水资源的整体效益,实现陆桥（河南段）经济带地下水的可持续开发利用。

目的：探索茯苓酸调节腺苷酸活化蛋白激酶（AMPK）/糖原合成酶激酶3β（GSK-3β）/核因子E2相关因子2（Nrf2）信号通路对子宫内膜异位症（EM）大鼠基质细胞铁死亡的影响。方法：将51只SD大鼠于腹腔内异位移植子宫内膜组织构建EM大鼠模型,并将其随机分为模型组、茯苓酸低剂量（3.5 mg/kg）组、茯苓酸高剂量（7.0 mg/kg）组、茯苓酸高剂量（7.0 mg/kg）+盐酸多索啡（0.2 mg/kg）组,每组各12只,另取12只SD大鼠只开腹不移植,设为假手术组,药物分组处理后测定各组大鼠异位子宫内膜体积、异位子宫内膜组织铁死亡指标［谷胱甘肽（GSH）、丙二醛（MDA）水平、铁含量］、血清及异位子宫内膜组织炎症因子［肿瘤坏死因子α（TNF-α）、白细胞介素-6（IL-6）］水平、异位子宫内膜组织铁死亡相关蛋白［长链脂酰辅酶A合成酶4（ACSL4）、环加氧酶2（PTGS2）］与AMPK/GSK-3β/Nrf2通路相关蛋白表达。原代培养EM大鼠子宫内膜基质细胞,并将其随机分为对照组、茯苓酸低浓度（40 mg/L）组、茯苓酸高浓度（80 mg/L）组、茯苓酸高浓度（80 mg/L）+盐酸多索啡（10 μmol/L）组,以药物分组处理后,以CCK-8法、流式细胞术分别测定各组细胞增殖及凋亡;以试剂盒检测各组细胞铁死亡指标GSH及MDA水平、铁含量;以免疫印迹实验检测各组细胞铁死亡相关蛋白及AMPK/GSK-3β/Nrf2通路相关蛋白表达。结果：与假手术组相比,模型组大鼠异位子宫内膜体积、MDA水平及铁含量、血清及异位子宫内膜组织TNF-α及IL-6水平、ACSL4及PTGS2蛋白表达升高（P<0.05）,GSH水平、p-AMPK/AMPK、p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β及Nrf2蛋白表达降低（P<0.05）;与模型组相比,茯苓酸低、高剂量组大鼠异位子宫内膜体积、MDA水平及铁含量、血清及异位子宫内膜组织TNF-α及IL-6水平、ACSL4及PTGS2蛋白表达降低（P<0.05）,GSH水平、p-AMPK/AMPK、p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β及Nrf2蛋白表达升高（P<0.05）,且高剂量茯苓酸作用更强;盐酸多索啡可减弱高剂量茯苓酸对EM模型大鼠的作用。与对照组相比,茯苓酸低、高浓度组大鼠子宫内膜基质细胞活力、MDA水平及铁含量、ACSL4及PTGS2蛋白表达降低（P<0.05）,凋亡率、GSH水平、p-AMPK/AMPK、p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β及Nrf2蛋白表达升高（P<0.05）,且高浓度茯苓酸作用更强;盐酸多索啡可减弱高剂量茯苓酸对EM大鼠内膜基质细胞的作用。结论：茯苓酸可减轻EM大鼠炎症及铁死亡,抑制其子宫内膜基质细胞增殖及异位内膜生长,其作用机制可能是通过激活AMPK/GSK-3β/Nrf2信号通路来实现的。     

Effect of nano-hematite morphology on photocatalytic activity

Nano-hematites, i.e., hematites with nanoparticle-, nanorod-, and nanotube-like morphologies, were synthesized via the hydrothermal method by controlling the reaction time, temperature, and reactant concentration. The nano-hematites of different crystal shapes all exhibited band gaps within the visible-light region (1.56–2.1 eV). Further, they showed weak ferromagnetic behavior, and their coercive magnetic field was larger than that of the bulk hematite. Moreover, all the nano-hematites also exhibited high photocatalytic activities during the degradation of methylene blue under visible-light irradiation. The experimental data fitted the Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetics model very well. The nanorods had the highest photocatalytic rate constant per unit surface area, possibly owing to a higher aspect ratios; this lowers the electron–hole recombination rate. These results suggest that the crystal morphology of hematites has a significant effect on their physical and photocatalytic properties. Therefore, controlling the morphology of the materials is essential for obtaining well-tailored photocatalysts.     

Doming in the southern foreland of the Dabieshan (Yangtse block, China)

In China, the foreland of the Dabieshan is characterized by E–W trending domes and basins. From South to North the Wugongshan, Jiulingshan, Lushan and Dabieshan domes consist of Proterozoic metamorphics unconformably covered by late Proterozoic to Triassic sediments. Ductile and brittle extensional structures are described along the margins of the metamorphic domes. Along the N–S striking lineation, kinematic indicators show divergent top-to-the-north and -south shear in the north and south flanks of the domes, respectively. The superposition of Proterozoic phyllite over Permian–Triassic carbonates is reinterpreted as extensional allochthons formed by tilting, shearing and sliding on the layers. Plate convergence is responsible for continental subduction in the Dabieshan and deep-seated thrusting in the Yangtse plate. As compression continued, the thrust contacts were folded and several antiformal stacks developed. Domal uplift induced the formation of gravity-driven extensional structures.
