Investigation of the model compounds at 4-aminobenzoic acid modified glassy carbon electrode by scanning electrochemical microscopy

In this paper, we studied the reactions of both potassium ferricyanide and hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride at a 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) in different pH solutions. The surface of the modified electrode has carboxyl groups, the dissociation of which are strongly dependent upon the solution pH values. The rate constant kb of the oxidation of ferrocyanide on the modified electrode can be obtained by fitting the experimental tip current-distance (I-T-d) curves with the theoretical values. The surface pK(a) of the 4-ABA modified GCE was estimated from the plot of standard rate constant k(o) versus the solution pH and is equal to 3.2, which is in good agreement with the reported result. The SECM approach curves for Ru(NH3)(6)(3+) both on the bare and the modified electrodes show similar diffusion control processes. These results can be explained by the electrostatic interactions between the modified electrode surface and the model compounds with different charges. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science BN.

Analysis of mussel standard reference material by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

A method for the analysis of mussel standard reference material by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry( ICP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) was developed. K, Na, Ca, Mg, P, Al, Fe, Zn, Mn and Sr were determined by ICP-AES and As, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ga, Ge, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr, U and V by ICP-MS, The interference coefficients at the Mn-55, Se-78, Cu-63, Co-59, Ni-58, Ni-60, As-75, Se-77, V-51, Cr-53 and Cr-52 originating from polyatomic ion of the matrix elements (KO)-K-39-O-16, K-39(2), (ArNa)-Ar-40-Na-23, (CaO)-Ca-43-O-16, (CaO)-Ca-42-O-16, (CaO)-Ca-44-O-16, (PO2)-P-31-O-16, (ArCl)-Ar-40-Cl-35, (ArCl)-Ar-40-Cl-37, (ClO)-Cl-35-O-16, (ClO)-Cl-37-O-16 and (ArC)-Ar-40-C-12 were determined under the selected operation parameters. The major matrix elements, such as K, Na and Ca, result in the suppression of analytes signals. The apparent concentration at the significant biological element which was produced by the different digestion methods, (.) HNO3 + H2O2 (3 + 2), HNO3 + HClO4 (3 + 0.5) and HNO3 + H2SO4 (3 + 0.5),was determined. The sample digested by HNO3 + H2O2 did not give rise to interfere on the analyte, and the backgrounds of Se-77, Ga-69, Zn-67, As-75, V-51, Cr-53 and Cr-52 were increased by HNO3 + HClO4 digestion method, that affected the determination of these elements, especially the monoisotope As and V. Sample digested by HNO3 + H2SO4 increased the backgrounds at Cu-65, Zn-64 and Zn-67. Detection limits of ICP-AES are 0.001 similar to 0.75 mg/L and those of ICP-MS are 0.005 similar to 1.01 mu g/L. The relative standard derivations of ICP-AES and ICP-MS are 2.7% similar to 12.8%, 3.4% similar to 24.8%, respectively.

Calculations of nonlinear optical responses of isomorphous crystals NaClO3 And NaBrO3 with natural optical activity

This work considers the isomorphous optically active crystals NaClO3 and NaBrO3. The connection between their second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) responses and chemical bond structures is established, starting from the experimental optical activities. The calculation reproduces the well-known experimental fact that crystals of NaClO3 and NaBrO3 with similar structures have different signs of optical rotation and of second harmonic generation (SHG). Unlike previous bond charge models, the method may include more than one type of bond in the calculation, and therefore may be used to study the optical activity and nonlinear optical properties of more general crystals.

Molecular cloning and expression of a Relish gene in Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis

P>NF-kappa B is a B-cell specific transcription factor that plays crucial roles in inflammation, immunity, apoptosis, development and differentiation. In the present study, a novel NF-kappa B-like transcription factor Relish was cloned from Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis (designated as EsRelish) by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technique based on expressed sequence tag (EST). The full-length cDNA of EsRelish was of 5034 bp, consisting of a 5' untranslated region (UTR) of 57 bp, a 3' UTR of 1335 bp with two mRNA instability motifs (ATTTA), a polyadenylation signal sequence (AATAAA) and a poly (A) tail, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 3645 bp encoding a polypeptide of 1214 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 134.8 kDa and a theoretical isoelectric point of 5.26. There were a typical Rel homology domain (RHD), two nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences (KR), an inhibitor kappa B (I kappa B)-like domain with six ankyrin repeats, a PEST region and a death domain in the deduced amino acid sequence of EsRelish. Conserved domain, higher similarity with other Rel/NF-kappa Bs and phylogenetic analysis suggested that EsRelish was a member of the NF-kappa B family. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was employed to detect the mRNA transcripts of EsRelish in different tissues and its temporal expression in hemocytes of E. sinensis challenged with Pichia methanolica and Listonella anguillarum. The EsRelish mRNA was found to be constitutively expressed in a wide range of tissues. It could be mainly detected in the hemocytes, gonad and hepatopancreas, and less degree in the gill, muscle and heart. The expression level of EsRelish mRNA in hemocytes was up-regulated from at 3, 6, 9 and 12 h after P. methanolica challenge. In L. anguillarum challenge, it was up-regulated at 9, 12 and 24 h. The results collectively indicated that EsRelish was potentially involved in the immune response against fungus and bacteria.

Particle-attached and free-living bacterial communities in a contrasting marine environment: Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong

Diversity of particle-attached and free-living marine bacteria in Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong, and its adjacent coastal and estuarial environments was investigated using DNA fingerprinting and clone library analysis. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of 16S rRNA genes showed that bacterial communities in three stations of Victoria Harbor were similar, but differed from those in adjacent coastal and estuarine stations. Particle-attached and free-living bacterial community composition differed in the Victoria Harbor area. DNA sequencing of 28 bands from DGGE gel showed Alphaproteobacteria was the most abundant group, followed by the Bacteroidetes, and other Proteobacteria. Bacterial species richness (number of DGGE bands) differed among stations and populations (particle-attached and free-living; bottom and surface). BIOENV analysis indicated that the concentrations of suspended solids were the major contributing parameter for the spatial variation of total bacterial community structure. Samples from representative stations were selected for clone library (548 clones) construction and their phylogenetic distributions were similar to those of sequences from DGGE. Approximately 80% of clones were affiliated to Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Cyanobacteria. The possible influences of dynamic pollution and hydrological conditions in the Victoria Harbor area on the particle-attached and free-living bacterial community structures were discussed.

Effects of temperature and irradiance on early development of Chondrus ocellatus Holm (Gigartinaceae, Rhodophyta)

Chondrus is a type of commercially produced red seaweed that widely used for food and carrageen extraction. Although the natural life history of the alga had been well understood, the factors influencing development of the tetraspore and carpospore remain poorly understood. In the perspective of seedling resources, the regulation of early development is crucial for the seedling nursing; therefore, it is necessary to understand the physiological influences during its early development. In this study, we studied the effects of temperature and irradiance on the early development of Chondrus ocellatus Holm under laboratory conditions. The released tetraspores and carpospores were cultivated at different temperatures (10-28 degrees C) and irradiances ( 10, 60 mu mol photons m(-2)s(-1)) with a photoperiod of 12L:12D. The results indicate that both tetraspores and carpospores are tolerant to temperatures of 10-25 degrees C, and have the highest relative growth rate at 20 degrees C. Irradiance variances influenced the growth of the discoid crusts, and the influence was more significant with increasing temperature; 60 mu mol photons m(-2)s(-1) was more suitable than 10 mu mol photons m(-2)s(-1). The optimum temperature and irradiance for the development of seedlings was 20 degrees C and 60 mu mol photons m(-2)s(-1), respectively.

东中国海浪-流相互作用初步数值模拟

近十年，国内外学者从不同的角度对浪流相互作用进行了研究，但由于问题本身的复杂性，仍然存在很大的探讨空间。特别是在我国，这一领域的研究并不多见，且现有的研究成果多是单向耦合。本文从风应力、底摩擦应力、波致辐射应力三方面入手尝试研究浪流相互作用。利用海浪模式SWAN和海流模式POM构建的浪-流耦合模式，对1994年8月上中旬渤海、黄海、东海区域两次台风过程下的部分海洋要素进行了对比模拟实验。经过初步的研究，得到了一些有价值的认识。结果表明： （1）在台风中心外围的大风区，Donelan公式的计算结果要高于POM原有的计算结果，最大增幅可达30%，拖曳系数高值区的范围也明显增大。 （2）Signell方案给出的底摩擦系数计算结果随时间有明显变化的区域集中在水深50米以浅的海域。 （3）三项应力共同给浪流耦合模式带来的水位变化与三项应力中的任意两项组合带来的水位变化有相似的空间分布型。福州沿岸最大增幅0.25m以上，温州沿岸最大增幅0.3m，长江入海口处最大增幅0.25m左右，仁川沿岸最大增幅则达到0.4m。 （4）耦合后的结果与岸边站点实测水位的对比结果显示，基隆、坎门站的水位在台风经过前后时段更接近于观测值，特别是极值水位处。 （5）流的存在显著的影响有效波高的计算结果。在黄渤海区域，潮流对有效波高的增减在极值处可达0.2m。在台湾岛东北海域黑潮流系附近，流对有效波高的增加最大可达1.8m。 上述结果对近岸风暴潮和海浪的预报具有指示意义。

栉孔扇贝凝集素家族基因研究

栉孔扇贝是我国北方重要的贝类养殖品种。自1997年以来爆发的栉孔扇贝大规模死亡，给地区经济造成了重大损失并且已经严重威胁扇贝养殖业的健康发展。然而，到目前为止，对扇贝免疫防御的分子机理了解还很少，深入研究扇贝免疫应答的分子机制是认识和了解病害发生和实现病害控制的关键问题之一。本研究采用了EST大规模测序结合cDNA锚定扩增的方法，从栉孔扇贝cDNA文库中克隆到五个C－型凝集素基因，并对其中部分基因进行了深入研究。 C－型凝集素CFLec－1的基因全长1785bp，其中含有5’非翻译区66bp，随后是666bp的开放阅读框；最后一条非常长的3’非翻译区1040bp，其中包含多个多聚腺甘酸加尾信号和polyA尾巴。栉孔扇贝CFLec－1编码221个氨基酸的蛋白，其N末端为15个氨基酸的信号肽。CFLec－1的成熟肽为206个氨基酸，其等电点为5.12，计算分子量为23.49kDa。SMART程序分析显示，C末端130氨基酸是一个标准的长型C－型凝集素结构域，其中四个半光胺酸（Cys104，Cys177，Cys193，Cys202）形成的两对二硫键维持了C－型凝集素的空间结构，而位于N末端的两个二硫键（Cys74，Cys85）构成了长型C－型凝集素结构域特有的一对额外二硫键。同源性分析表明，CFLec－1的C－型凝集素结构域与红原鸡的甘露糖受体中的C－型凝集素结构域有47％的相似度，与大西洋鲑的C－型凝集素受体C有31％的相似度。通过与其他同源的C－型凝集素结构域序列比对，发现了可能的糖结合位点EPD基域（Glu169-Pro170-Asp171）。通过RT－PCR研究CFLec－1在扇贝不同组织中的分布后发现，在健康扇贝中，CFLec－1在性腺中有中等程度的表达，在腮中有少量表达，在血淋巴和外套膜中有微量表达。经热处死的鳗弧菌刺激后，CFLec－1在几乎所有检测组织中的表达量都有明显的提高，其中，血淋巴中的表达量变化最为显著。这些结果说明CFLec－1是组成/诱导型基因，并且可能参与了黏膜防御。通过RT－PCR分析了CFLec－1在血淋巴中的表达特征后发现，在革兰氏阳性菌溶壁微球菌和革兰氏阴性菌鳗弧菌刺激后，CFLec－1的表达均显著高于对照组，并且成明显的随时间变化趋势。在大肠杆菌中表达的重组CFLec－1可以凝集革兰氏阴性菌大肠杆菌JM109，且凝集过程需要钙离子的参与。重组CFLec－1对大肠杆菌JM109有较弱的抑菌活性，对溶壁微球菌有明显的抑菌活性，对鳗弧菌没有抑菌活性。这一结果说明，CFLec－1可能不仅参与对入侵微生物的识别过程，而且可能作为效应分子起到了直接杀灭入侵微生物的作用。 CFLec-2的cDNA全长为708bp，其5’UTR为59bp。3’UTR为217bp。 CFLec-2的开放阅读框为432bp，编码160个氨基酸残基,其中包含5’信号肽17个残基。CFLec-2的编码区中含有一个C-型凝集素结构域。利用本研究中构建的原核表达载体，CFLec-2的成熟肽在大肠杆菌中被成功表达。 mCFLec-1的cDNA全长为2257bp，5’UTR17bp，3’UTR为713bp。mCFLec-1的开放阅读框为1527bp，编码508个氨基酸残基，其中包含17个氨基酸残基的信号肽序列。mCFLec-1的编码区含有三个串联的C-型凝集素结构域。利用本研究中构建的原核表达载体，mCFLec-2的成熟肽在大肠杆菌中被成功表达。 mCFLec-2的cDNA全长2086bp。其5’UTR长为18bp，3’UTR长为238bp。开放阅读框均为1776bp，编码609个氨基酸残基，其中包含N末端由18个氨基酸构成的信号肽。mCFLec-2的编码区包含四个C-型凝集素结构域。mCFlec-3的cDNA全长1897bp，其5’UTR和编码区与mCFLec-2几乎完全相同，只有个别碱基的差异。mCFlec-3的3’UTR为49bp。 本研究从扇贝机体本身的免疫机制入手，深入探讨其免疫机理，为进一步研究信号传导，了解扇贝先天性免疫的机制，为制定合理的研制策略提供坚实的理论基础；丰富和发展海水无脊椎动物免疫学的内容，为控制养殖生物疾病提供了新的思路；进一步通过高低等生物之间功能类似分子的同源性比对，为解释和阐明先天免疫这种已经存在数十亿年，从低等生物开始到人类仍旧保留且更加完善的免疫系统的奥秘和本质提供证据。

高寒草甸退化对鹅绒委陵菜克隆生长特征的影响

为了揭示高寒草甸典型匍匐茎克隆植物对不同生境的生态适应对策，验证生境适应假说，并为高寒草地的退化演替机理研究提供依据，以调查统计和比较样地法研究了江河源区高寒草甸退化对鹅绒委陵菜克隆生长特征的影响。研究表明，重度退化草甸的植物群落结构、功能以及土壤特征发生了明显的变化，继而对鹅绒委陵菜无性系的克隆生长行为和形态特性产生了影响。高寒草甸退化后鹅绒委陵菜的匍匐茎增多，分支强度加大。退化草甸内鹅绒委陵菜的基株高度小于未退化草甸，根长大于未退化草甸，基株的叶片数目问没有明显差别。退化草甸的分株高度显著小于未退化草甸，而分株叶数大于未退化草甸，根长小于未退化革甸且差异不显著。未退化草甸内鹅绒委陵菜无性系的问隔子长度、粗度和匍匐茎长度大于退化草甸，间隔子平均数目少于退化草甸，差异都不显著。随着鹅绒委陵菜无性系匍匐茎数目的增加，不论重度退化草甸与未退化草甸，用于鹅绒委陵菜克隆繁殖的能量投资也逐渐增加。鹅绒委陵菜在未退化草甸用于克隆繁殖的能量投资比例高于退化草甸，其中未退化草甸内鹅绒委陵菜基株的干重占无性系总生物量的比例略低于退化草甸，分株和匍匐茎的干重占无性系总生物量的比例高于退化草甸。高寒草甸退化对鹅绒委陵菜克隆生长特征的这些影响，与植物群落结构和功能的变化导致生境变异密切相关，是其对高寒草甸退化导致的资源和生境差异的反应，也是对资源利用达到的最合理状态，是一种选择适应的结果，有利于克隆繁殖潜力的发挥。同时为生境适应假说提供了又一例证。

江河源区人工草地群落特征、多样性及其稳定性分析

对江河源区人工草地群落特征、多样性及其稳定性的研究结果表明,不同处理草地植物群落的物种丰富度、多样性、均匀度指数因时间和空间的变化而有明显的差异,群落演替从5龄到6龄,各群落丰富度和多样性指数增加,生物生产量降低,群落相似性系数增大.5龄老芒麦+早熟禾混播人工草地(LP5)群落的地上生物量最高(379.6 g/m2),老芒麦单播(ES5)居中(323.4 g/m2),对照组(CKF5和CK5)最低(124.3和118.6 g/m2).6龄植物群落地上生物量依次为原生植被+封育(VP6,310.1 g/m2)>老芒麦+早熟禾混播(LP6,216.3 g/m2)>老芒麦单播(ES6,190.8 g/m2)>对照(CK6,88.7 g/m2).群落间相似性系数的变化说明,单播(ES)与混播(LP)人工草地群落有趋同演化的趋势.人工草地群落随着结构的复杂化,与对照群落间的相似性提高,说明群落处于退化演替阶段,物种丰富度和多样性增大,群落稳定性提高.
