Freshwater fish, topmouth gudgeon (Pseudorasobora parva), were pretreated with piperronyl butoxide (PBO) or triphenyl phosphate (TPP) and then exposed to different concentrations
of fenitrothion (FNT) in a static system. Evaluation of brain acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity after 24, 48 and 96 h pesticide
exposure indicated that AchE activity decreased as the concentration increased. Fish pretreated with TPP exhibited significantly
decreased AchE activity whilst in the PBO pretreated group, increased activity was observed as compared with those exposed
to FNT alone. The pattern of AchE recovery was also assessed in fish previously exposed for 96h and then transferred to clean
(chemical free) water. Following 8 days of recovery period, the AchE activity of those exposed to FNT alone and pretreated
with TPP was still lower than that of the control. This study showed that FNT may cause hazard to fish after field application. 相似文献

Salvianolic acid B(Sal B) is an active component of traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza and is used to treat vascular diseases. To better understand its mechanism, the antioxidant capacities of Sal B was evaluated with human endothelial cells under oxidative stress. Human endothelial cells were pretreated with Sal B for 12 h followed by hydrogen peroxide for another 12 h. Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and concentration of glu-tathione were measured: Protective effect of Sal B on the endothelial cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced damage ' was observed, and ROS production in the cells was found significantly inhibited. Sal B remarkably enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT and GPX. Furthermore, Sal B up-regulated the intracellular glutathione concentration. The results indicate that Sal B protected endothelial cells from oxidative stress by improving the redox status of the cells through enhancing the antioxidant enzyme activities and increasing the reductive glutathione concentration after the oxidative challenge. 相似文献

As a component of diesel exhaust particles, 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (4-nitro-m-cresol, PNMC) is also a metabolite of the insecticide fenitrothion and imposes hazardous effects on human health. In the
present study, the alleviative effect of a common antioxidant flavonoid quercetin on mouse germ cells intoxicated by PNMC
was investigated. Results showed that a single intraperitoneal injection of PNMC at 100 mg/kg induced severe testicular damage
after one week. PNMC-treated mice showed a significant loss of germ cells (approximate 40% loss of round germ cells). PNMC
caused an increase of hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide production and lipid peroxidation, as well as a decrease in glutathione
level, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities. Furthermore, treatment of PNMC increased expression of
the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and decreased expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-XL in germ cells. In addition, testicular
caspase-3 activity was significantly up-regulated and germ cell apoptosis was significantly increased in the PNMC-treated
mice. In contrast, combined administration of quercetin at 75 mg/kg significantly attenuated PNMC-induced testicular toxicity.
These results indicate that the antioxidant quercetin displays a remarkable protective effect on PNMC-induced oxidative damage
in mouse testes and may represent an efficient supplement to attenuate reproductive toxicity by environmental toxicants to
ensure healthy sperm production. 相似文献

A simple yet useful criterion based on external markings and/or number of dorsal spines is currently used to differentiate
two congeneric archer fish species Toxotes chatareus and Toxotes jaculatrix. Here we investigate other morphometric and meristic characters that can also be used to differentiate these two species.
Principal component and/or discriminant functions revealed that meristic characters were highly correlated with pectoral fin
ray count, number of lateral line scales, as well as number of anal fin rays. The results indicate that T. chatareus can be distinguished from T. jaculatrix by having a greater number of lateral line scales, a lower number of pectoral fin rays, and a higher number of anal fin rays.
In contrast, morphometric discriminant analyses gave relatively low distinction: 76.1% of fish were ascribed to the correct
species cluster. The observed morphometric differences came from the dorsal and anal spines lengths, with T. chatareus having shorter dorsal and longer anal spines than T. jaculatrix. Overall, meristic traits were more useful than morphometrics in differentiating the two species; nevertheless, meristics
and morphometrics together provide information about the morphological differentiation between these two closely related archer
fishes. 相似文献

Objective: To find new protein biomarkers for the detection and evaluation of liver injury and to analyze the relationship between such proteins and disease progression in concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatitis. Methods: Twenty-five mice were randomly divided into five groups: an untreated group, a control group injected with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and groups with Con A-induced hepatitis evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 h. Two-dimensional gel elec-trophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry (MS) were used to identify differences in protein expression among groups. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to verify the results. Results: In mice with Con A-induced hepatitis, expression levels of four proteins were increased: RIKEN, fructose bisphosphatase 1 (fbp1), ketohexokinase (khk), and Chain A of class pi glutathione S-transferase. Changes in fbp1 and khk were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Conclusion: Levels of two proteins, fbp1 and khk, are cleady up-regulated in mice with Con A-induced hepatitis. 相似文献

Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of total dissolved gas (TDG) supersaturation on acute lethality
and avoidance responses in juvenile rock carp (Procypris rabaudi Tchang). The juvenile rock carp were exposed to water with different levels of supersaturation (105%, 115%, 120%, 125%, 130%,
135%, 140%, and 145%) and depth of 0.20 m at 25°C for 60 h. Median lethal time (LT50) was used to assess the lethal responses
corresponding to different levels of gas supersaturation. The results show that half of the juvenile rock carp died at the
120%, 125%, 130%, 135%, 140%, and 145% levels of supersaturation, and the LT50 corresponding to different levels of supersaturation
was 18.7, 15.4, 8.2, 6.6, 3.5, and 1.7 h. When the level of supersaturated water is below 115%, the mortality is negligible.
Avoidance responses were observed 5 min after the fish were put into equilibrated water (99%, 0.08 m deep) and water with
different supersaturated levels (105%, 115%, 125%, 135%, and 145%, 0.08 m deep) at 25 °C. The fish exhibited strong avoidance
responses in supersaturated water when the gas supersaturation was above 135%. However, they exhibited an obvious preference
to supersaturated water when the gas supersaturation was below 115%. Thus, the juvenile rock carp can likely survive in water
with a supersaturated level of 115%. 相似文献

Total dissolved gas supersaturation (TDGS) appears when the pressures of gases in a solution exceed the barometric pressures.
TDGS is often caused by flood discharge at dams. It may lead to gas bubble disease (GBD) for fish and biochemical responses
of selected fish and other aquatic organisms. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of long-term TDGS levels
on the growth and biochemical responses of rock carp (Procypris rabaudi Tchang) dwelling in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Three-year-old rock carp were exposed to TDGS levels at 100%,
104%, 108%, 112%, and 116% for 42 d. Samples were taken every 7 d after the start of the trial in order to determine catalase
(CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in gill and muscle tissues. Samples were taken at Days 0 and 42 of exposure
to determine growth rate. Little effect was found on growth rate in all treatment groups. SOD and CAT activities varied in
different tissues, according to time of exposure and TDGS levels. The biochemical response of fish exposed to TDGS was more
obvious in gill tissue than in muscle tissue. Surveys of SOD and CAT activities in different tissues offer important information
about the effect of TDGS on the rare fish in the Yangtze River, and may help evaluate the risk to the aquatic eco-environment
and aquatic ecosystem in the downstream of the Yangtze River. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to compare the toxicity and availability of Fe(II) and Fe(III) to Caco-2 cells. Cellular
damage was studied by measuring cell proliferation and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. The activities of two major antioxidative
enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)] and differentiation marker (alkaline phosphatase) were
determined after the cells were exposed to different levels of iron salts. The cellular iron concentration was investigated
to evaluate iron bioavailability. The results show that iron uptake of the cells treated with Fe(II) is significantly higher
than that of the cells treated with Fe(III) (P<0.05). Fe(II) at a concentration >1.5 mmol/L was found to be more effective in reducing cellular viability than Fe(III).
LDH release investigation suggests that Fe(II) can reduce stability of the cell membrane. The activities of SOD and GPx of
the cells treated with Fe(II) were higher than those of the cells treated with Fe(III), although both of them increased with
raising iron supply levels. The results indicate that both Fe(II) and Fe(III) could reduce the cellular antioxidase gene expression
at high levels.

This study examined the effects of dietary α-tocopheryl acetate supplementation on antioxidant enzyme activities and fillet quality in commercial-size Sparus macrocephalus. Three hundred fish [main initial weight (350±12) g] were divided into three groups (E250, E500 and El000) and reared in 9 cages. The fish were fed for 8 weeks with three diets containing different levels of dietary α-tocopheryl acetate (289, 553, 1069 mg/kg). Over the experimental period, fish were fed to satiation and reached a final mean weight of (465±28) g without significant body weight difference and proximate composition difference. Fillet α-tocopherol was significantly (P〈0.05) different between groups, reaching levels of 14.2, 22.1, 30.9 pg/mg fillet for groups E250, E500 and El000, respectively. Total serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased significantly (P〈0.05) in fish fed the diets high in α-tocopheryl acetate, but serum glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity was unaffected. In storage on ice, fillets of fish fed the diets high in α-tocopheryl acetate exhibited significantly lower (P〈0.05) levels of oxidation. These results suggested that increased dietary α-tocopheryl acetate could increase its flesh deposition, increase the activity of SOD and prevent lipid peroxidation ofSparus macrocephalus fillets in retail storage on ice. 相似文献

研究目的:研究纳米银对黄瓜和小麦的毒性及在植物中的转运和分布,探讨其毒性机制,为纳米银的环境风险评估提供科学依据。创新要点:1.选取单子叶和双子叶植物为对象,比较研究纳米银对其萌发阶段和生长阶段的毒性效应及其影响因素;2.多数研究中的纳米银均有表面修饰,本研究选择无表面修饰的纳米银材料,排除表面活性剂的干扰因素;3.以络合剂半胱氨酸掩蔽解离出的银离子,探讨纳米银颗粒对植物毒性的贡献。研究方法:通过植物根长(图2)和生物量(图3)分别评价萌发和生长阶段纳米银的植物毒性。利用电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)测定植物组织银元素的含量(图7)。通过组织切片,利用透射电镜(TEM)观察植物根中银的微观分布(图6)。通过在暴露介质中添加半胱氨酸掩蔽银离子来评价纳米银颗粒对植物毒性的贡献(图3和5)。重要结论:在较高暴露浓度情况下,纳米银和银离子对小麦和黄瓜都具有明显的毒性。但当纳米银浓度低于200 mg/L,银离子浓度低于5 mg/L时,两者均能促进黄瓜根系的生长。两种植物在营养生长阶段比萌发阶段对纳米银的毒性更敏感。纳米银暴露后,银首先积聚于植物的根,然后被转移到地上部。为评价纳米银释放的银离子的作用,我们测定了暴露后介质中银离子的浓度。在种子萌发阶段,黄瓜和小麦的暴露液中约0.03%和0.01%的纳米银溶解,而在营养生长阶段,溶解的纳米银达到0.17%和0.06%。半胱氨酸作为银离子的强络合剂,能够彻底消除纳米银对黄瓜和小麦的作用,说明纳米银的植物效应可能来自于其释放的银离子。 相似文献

The behavioral responses of a tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) school to low (0.13 mg/L), moderate (0.79 mg/L) and high (2.65 mg/L) levels of unionized ammonia (UIA) concentration were
monitored using a computer vision system. The swimming activity and geometrical parameters such as location of the gravity
center and distribution of the fish school were calculated continuously. These behavioral parameters of tilapia school responded
sensitively to moderate and high UIA concentration. Under high UIA concentration the fish activity showed a significant increase
(P<0.05), exhibiting an avoidance reaction to high ammonia condition, and then decreased gradually. Under moderate and high
UIA concentration the school's vertical location had significantly large fluctuation (P<0.05) with the school moving up to the water surface then down to the bottom of the aquarium alternately and tending to crowd
together. After several hours' exposure to high UIA level, the school finally stayed at the aquarium bottom. These observations
indicate that alterations in fish behavior under acute stress can provide important information useful in predicting the stress.

We studied the responses of the activities of adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) sulfurylase (ATPS) and serine acetyltransferase
(SAT) to cadmium (Cd) levels and treatment time in hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) Sedum alfredii Hance, as compared with its non-hyperaccumulating ecotype (NHE). The results show that plant growth was inhibited in NHE
but promoted in HE when exposed to high Cd level. Cd concentrations in leaves and shoots rapidly increased in HE rather than
in NHE, and they became much higher in HE than in NHE along with increasing treatment time and Cd supply levels. ATPS activity
was higher in HE than in NHE in all Cd treatments, and increased with increasing Cd supply levels in both HE and NHE when
exposed to Cd treatment within 8 h. However, a marked difference of ATPS activity between HE and NHE was found with Cd treatment
for 168 h, where ATPS activity increased in HE but decreased in NHE. Similarly, SAT activity was higher in HE than in NHE
at all Cd treatments, but was more sensitive in NHE than in HE. Both ATPS and SAT activities in NHE leaves tended to decrease
with increasing treatment time after 8 h at all Cd levels. The results reveal the different responses in sulfur assimilation
enzymes and Cd accumulation between HE and NHE. With increasing Cd stress, the activities of sulfur assimilation enzymes (ATPS
and SAT) were induced in HE, which may contribute to Cd accumulation in the hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii Hance.

The objective of the study was to explore how gender was constructed in the English for Ethiopia Student’s Book for grade four. In order to find out the discursive actions, representations and identifications by unpacking the employed genre, discourse and style, respectively, the case study was conducted using Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis. Despite Ethiopia’s gender-sensitive education and training policy, the findings revealed that the texts in the book are a manifestation of the struggle of discourse that tries to maintain the existing social order on gender construction on the one hand and attempts to change the status quo on the other. While the discursive actions and identifications of characters promote egalitarian gender construction, the activity and attribute-based representations of characters reproduce the existing stereotypical gender constructions of the society that fall in line with the functionalists’ perspective on gender roles. 相似文献

This study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of elevated CO2 levels and cadmium (Cd) on the root morphological traits and Cd accumulation in Lolium multiflorum Lam. and Lolium perenne L. exposed to two CO2 levels (360 and 1 000 μl/L) and three Cd levels (0, 4, and 16 mg/L) under hydroponic conditions. The results show that elevated
levels of CO2 increased shoot biomass more, compared to root biomass, but decreased Cd concentrations in all plant tissues. Cd exposure
caused toxicity to both Lolium species, as shown by the restrictions of the root morphological parameters including root length, surface area, volume, and
tip numbers. These parameters were significantly higher under elevated levels of CO2 than under ambient CO2, especially for the number of fine roots. The increases in magnitudes of those parameters triggered by elevated levels of
CO2 under Cd stress were more than those under non-Cd stress, suggesting an ameliorated Cd stress under elevated levels of CO2. The total Cd uptake per pot, calculated on the basis of biomass, was significantly greater under elevated levels of CO2 than under ambient CO2. Ameliorated Cd toxicity, decreased Cd concentration, and altered root morphological traits in both Lolium species under elevated levels of CO2 may have implications in food safety and phytoremediation. 相似文献
