海洋动物体石油烃污染评价标准参考值的探讨

目前,国内外尚无颁布任何海洋生物石油污染评价标准,为了满足海洋生物石油污染评价的需要,本文采用综合分析与毒理学分析相结合的方法,探讨和提出了海洋动物石油污染评价标准参考值,海洋鱼类、贝类和甲壳类的石油污染评价标准参考值（干重）分别为１５、７０ 和２５ ｍ ｇ／ｋｇ。     

茯苓酸调节AMPK/GSK-3β/Nrf2信号通路对子宫内膜异位症大鼠内膜基质细胞铁死亡的影响

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。     

Effects of natural attenuation processes on groundwater contamination caused by abandoned waste sites in Berlin

The aim of this research project is to identify, characterize and quantify natural attenuation (NA) processes in groundwater affected by emissions of abandoned waste disposal sites in Berlin-Kladow/Gatow, Germany. It is part of the funding priority called KORA established by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) to explore the extent to which NA can be used for remedial purposes for varied forms of soil and groundwater contamination. Information on the emission behaviour of individual parameters is generated on the basis of hydrogeochemical comparison of 20 years old and new data. Using groundwater-modelling and CFC-analysis, information on the transport and retention of pollutants in groundwater is compiled. The microbial colonization of contaminated aquifers is characterized by molecular biological methods [polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)] to differentiate between contaminated and not contaminated zones.     

Iron isotopic analyses of geological reference materials on MC-ICP-MS with instrumental mass bias corrected by three independent methods

Here we report iron (Fe) isotopic data of three pure Fe solution standards (IRMM-014, GSB Fe, and NIST 3126a) and five widely used geological reference materials (RMs) from the United States Geological Survey and Geological Survey of Japan obtained on a Neptune Plus multi-collector–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS) in our laboratory over the past 3 years. The instrumental mass bias was corrected by three independent methods: sample-standard bracketing (SSB), Ni doping?+?SSB, and ⁵⁷Fe–⁵⁸Fe double spike?+?SSB. Measurements reveal that both the Ni doping and double spike methods helped calibrate short-term fluctuations in mass bias. Collectively, almost all measurements of RMs yielded δ⁵⁶Fe within?±?0.05 of recommended values, provided that each sample was measured four times on MC-ICP-MS. For the first time, new recommended values for NIST SRM3126a are reported (δ⁵⁶Fe?=?0.363?±?0.006, 2SE, 95% CI; and δ⁵⁷Fe?=?0.534?±?0.010, 2SE).     

The effect of annealing on the luminescence decay-time of synthetic calcite:Mn

Calcite was synthesized by four methods, and the luminescence decay-time was measured for nine samples before and after heating hydrothermally in the temperature range 200–400°C. Decay-time data were collected between room temperature and approximately 15 K. The decay time at room temperature is approximately 50 ms, with little difference between a given calcite before and after hydrothermal treatment. The decay time at 15 K is always greater than at room temperature as the effect of thermal quenching diminishes. Differences in decay time before and after heating are more apparent at low temperature owing to this reduction in thermal quenching. The decay time decreased significantly in two samples, and an increase in decay time was observed in the remaining seven samples following heating. Among the latter group, the change in decay time was insignificant in three samples. The results are compared with previous data in which it was shown that the effect of heating is to increase the intensity of luminescence.     

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.     

冀西北赤城-宣化盆地土城子组沉积特征及盆缘构造分析

为了揭示华北北部晚侏罗世沉积盆地性质,对赤城-宣化盆地中土城子组沉积特征及盆缘构造进行了研究。通过对土城子组沉积特征研究表明,土城子组中-下部为一套河湖相沉积,上部为一套冲积扇粗碎屑沉积;土城子组砾岩成分系统统计分析显示,赤城盆地与宣化-下花园盆地具有相似岩屑岩性相旋回,反映源区具有相同或相近的蚀顶过程。研究区晚侏罗世盆地中土城子组充填特征及盆缘构造特征表明,土城子组形成于挤压构造背景,土城子组沉积时期盆地受控于盆缘逆冲断层。大地构造背景暗示,赤城-宣化盆地晚侏罗世-早白垩世期间,古太平洋板块向NW方向的俯冲作用与尚义-赤城断裂向南逆冲并伴随右旋走滑作用是土城子组沉积时期盆地格局形成的重要控制因素。     

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.

Citizens as sensors: the world of volunteered geography

In recent months there has been an explosion of interest in using the Web to create, assemble, and disseminate geographic information provided voluntarily by individuals. Sites such as Wikimapia and OpenStreetMap are empowering citizens to create a global patchwork of geographic information, while Google Earth and other virtual globes are encouraging volunteers to develop interesting applications using their own data. I review this phenomenon, and examine associated issues: what drives people to do this, how accurate are the results, will they threaten individual privacy, and how can they augment more conventional sources? I compare this new phenomenon to more traditional citizen science and the role of the amateur in geographic observation.
