Serious environmental pollution by heavy metals results from their increasing utilization in industrial processes and because most heavy metals are transported into the marine environment and accumulated without decomposition. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects on growth, pigments, lipid peroxidation, and some antioxidant enzyme activities of marine microalga Pavlova viridis, in response to elevated concentrations of cobalt （Co） and manganese （Mn）, especially with regard to the involvement of antioxidative defences against heavy metal-induced oxidative stress. In response to Co^2＋, lipid peroxidation was enhanced compared to the control, as an indication of the oxidative damage caused by metal concentration assayed in the microalgal cells but not Mn^2＋. Exposure of Pavlova viridis to the two metals caused changes in enzyme activities in a different manner, depending on the metal assayed： after Co^2＋ treatments, total superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity was irregular, although it was not significantly affected by Mn^2＋ exposure. Co^2＋ and Mn^2＋ stimulated the activities of catalase （CAT） and glutathione （GSH）, whereas, glutathione peroxidase （GPX） showed a remarkable increase in activity in response to Co^2＋ treatments and decreased gradually with Mn^2＋ concentration, up to 50 μmol/L, and then rose very rapidly, reaching to about 38.98% at 200 μmol/L Mn^2＋. These results suggest that an activation of some antioxidant enzymes was enhanced, to counteract the oxidative stress induced by the two metals at higher concentration.展开更多

Methods Female rats were divided into four groups： control group, Pb （300 mg/L） group, Cd group （10 mg/L） and Pb＋Cd （300 mg/L, 10 mg/L） group. The compounds were delivered in the drinking water throughout pregnancy and lactation. Results The levels of compounds in blood and brain of the Pb＋Cd group were similar to those of other groups, but the effects of Pb＋Cd on pups＇ body and brain weights were higher than on other compounds. Electron microscopy revealed that Pb and Cd had effects on mitochondrial swelling, disruption and cristae loss, Nissl body dissolution, degenerated organelles and vacuoles, cytomembrane disappearance, and nuclear chromoplasm concentration. The activity of glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）, superoxide dismutase （SOD）, catalase （CAT）, acetylcholinesterase （ACHE） was decreased, whereas the activity of maleic dialdehyde （MDA） was increased. Conclusion Perinatal exposure to low doses of Pb and Cd can produce alterations in lipid peroxidation and ultrastructural modifications in rat brains, and exposure to both metals can result in greater damages.展开更多

Compared with basal soil samples and controls,improvements were observed in the soil content of available N, P, K, and organic matter. The content of available K and organic matter increased significantly by17.99% and 25.45%. The soil pH did not change noticeably, but the soil bulk density decreased significantly by 22.55%. After planting Youfei 1, the yield of a succeeding rice crop increased significantly by 6.62% in two years. We conclude that planting Youfei 1 can help maintain and improve soil fertility and significantly increase the yield of succeeding crop.展开更多

After seven generations of selfing and β-glucuronidase （GUS） assisted selection, 82 transgenic lines with stable agronomic traits were got. Among the 82 transgenic lines, two high-iron transgenic rice lines Fer34 and Fer65, with the iron contents in the milled rice being 4.82 and 3.46 times of that of the wild type Xiushui 11, respectively were identified. In the two transgenic lines, the exogenous Fer gene was highly expressed, and inherited as a single locus. The transgene had no negative effect on the agronomic traits of rice plant, other mineral nutritional components, appearance quality and eating quality of the milled rice, indicating that these two lines were elite high-iron breeding lines. Furthermore, the practical application and further studies facilitating utilization of the two elite breeding lines were discussed.展开更多

DTA analysis showed that the endothermic peak and exothermic peak of basic glass changed from 635 ℃ and 834 ℃ to 630 ℃ and 828 ℃ respectively as a result of the doping of Sm2O3. XRD analysis showed the promoting effect of Sm2O3 on crystallization ability of this glass. The cumulative mass loss of base glass, Sm2O3 containing glass, glass ceramic and Sm2O3 containing glass ceramic was 0.289, 0.253, 0.329, 0.269 mg/mm2 respectively after 26 days corrosion in alkali solution, and 1.293, 1.290, 0.999, 1.040 mg/mm2 respectively in acidic erosion medium. Micro-crystallization decreased and improved the alkali and acid resistance of borosilicate glass respectively, the addition of Sm2O3 increased the alkali resistance of base glass and glass ceramics, and the slight effect of Sm2O3 on the acid resistance of borosilicate glass was also observed.展开更多

The correlation coeffcient was only 0.365 4, lower than a signifcant level, which indicated that there was no signifcant positive （or negative） correlation between the economic yields and the harvest indexes in oilseed rape. Among them, 8 hybrid combinations including 7 with a harvest index〉0.30 and one with a harvest index〈0.27 increased signifcantly in the yields compared with the control, and then were screened for production experiment. Under different cultivation methods, all the 8 combinations had a stable harvest index, and the combinations with higher harvest indexes also had a stable performance in yields. An oilseed rape variety Fengyou 737 with higher yield and harvest index selected through a further screening was grown with the harvest indexhigher than 0.33 whether transplanted or directly seeded in Yangtze River Basin Demonstration Area, demonstrating stable high yields as well as good ecological adaptability. The combination of yield and harvest index in the study is conducive to breeding a new oilseed rape variety with stable yields and good tolerance to close planting.展开更多

Isomalto-oligosaccharide （ IMO）, fructo-oligosaccharide （ FOS）, mannan-oligosacchadde （MOS）, and mixed oligosacchadde were supplemented to basal diet （7.5 g/kg）, respectively. The control group was also set. The experimental period lasted for 53 d. The clinic symptoms and diarrhea were observed. All piglets were weighed once a week. Feed intake was also recorded. Blood was collected via precaval vein for determination of immunology indexes at the age of 30 and 60 d, respectively. [ Result] The IMO and FOS enhanced cellular immunity of 30-day-old piglets significantly （P 〈 0.05）, and the IMO also enhanced their humoral immunity. The MOS enhanced cellular immunity and humoral immunity of 60-day-old piglets significantly （P 〈 0.05）. It also improved production performance largest, and its diarrhea rate was the lowest. [ Conclusion] Different oligosaccharides have various effects on immunity and production performance of oiolets.展开更多
