The rapid dissipation of both metribuzin and metolachlor was found during the initial 10 to 15 days in both years) and more than 70% of the applied herbicide dissipated during this period. From 10 to 15 days after application up to the end of growing season in both years, the levels of both herbicides decreased slowly with time. Metolachlor dissipated at a slower rate than metribuzin in surface soil and could carry over to the next cropping season. Metribuzin and metolachlor were detected in only 6 and 1 of 154 soil samples in the first year and in 3 and 4 of 225 soil samples in the second year, taken from 15 to 75cm, respectively. Fifty to 67% of water samples from suction samplers at 135-cm depth contained detectable levels (>0.4μg L-1 ) of herbicides in both years. Under laboratory conditions degradation of both herbicides was much slower than their dissipation in field. Therefore, it appeared that leaching might be an important dissipation pathway for metribuzin and metolachlor under irrigated potato production.展开更多

Field experiment was conducted in the spring of 2014 to examine the effect of hilling-time and reduced-rates of metribuzin and their combinations on weed infestation in potato, and to determine their impact on potato yield. Metribuzin at 0.35, 0.56, or 0.75 kg ai/ha with or without hilling 6, 7, and 8 weeks after planting (WAP) were used. Weed count, weed control visual rating, weed dry weight, potato plant height, number of shoots and leaves, root dry weight, and potato yield were collected. Results showed that metribuzin, at all tested rates, with or without hilling significantly reduced weed infestation after 50, 70, and 110 days after planting (DAP) compared to the check. Best results were obtained by a combination of metribuzin at all tested rates with hilling 6, 7, and 8 WAP. The results suggest that long season weed control and high marketable yield could be achieved by metribuzin at 0.35 kg ai/ha (53% reduction in metribuzin) supplemented with hilling (6 WAP). None of the treatments was toxic to potato plants compared to the hand-weeded plots.展开更多

The first group of non-treated pregnancy rabbits served as control;the second group of pregnancy rabbits were treated with 1/100 LD50 of metribuzin and the third group of pregnancy rabbits were treated with 1/50 LD50 of metribuzin. Metribuzin was added in their drinking water for 60 d before and during pregnancy. Levels of liver malondialdehyde, liver glutathione S transferase, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase were determined. Liver reduced glutathione level was also determined by a colorimetric method. And hepatic homogenate was analyzed by HPLC analysis to determine the existence of traces of metribuzin.Results: Results revealed a significant increase in level of liver malondialdehyde, glutathione S transferase, serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase activities in mother and fetuses rabbits of both metribuzin treatment groups as compared to the control group. However the level of reduced glutathione was decreased in mother and fetuses rabbits of both groups treated with metribuzin compared to control group. Also, the results obtained by HPLC technique showed the presence of trace metribuzin in liver cells of mothers and fetuses rabbits of the both metribuzin treated groups.Conclusions: In conclusion, this study shows that exposure to metribuzin at low concentrations causes a acute toxicity in liver of mother rabbits and its fetus, also the trace of the metribuzin detected in the liver is the origin of possible malformation of the fetuses or abortion of the rabbits.展开更多

The experimental design was a Latin rectangle with eight treatments in four replications including an untreated control, manual weeding, a control product (Trifloxysulfuron-sdium 1.85% + Ametryn 73.15%) and five rates of chlorimuron-ethyl associated with metribuzin. Weeds counting and weighing their dry biomass have been done using 0.25 m2 quadrants to determine their biological efficiencies. The soil nitrogen nitrate and assimilable phosphorus contents were evaluated on a spectrophotometer, those of available potassium on a flame photometer. The biological efficiency coefficients of this herbicide, varied from 12.41% to 100%, according to their dry biomass. High rates, phytotoxics, showed the best coefficients. At the sugar cane complete maturation, the higher rates of imposter led to an accumulation of nitrogen nitrate content and lower available phosphorus and potassium contents, compared to the untreated control. The rate of 1.20 kg/ha became the dose to apply against weeds and less toxic to the soil.展开更多

The aim of this work was to study the in vitro effects of vitamin C and NADH on the proliferative responses of human lymphocytes exposed to pesticides (Mancozeb fungicide and Metribuzin herbicide) and on Thl and Th2 cytokine secretion. Their possible protective role on intracellular stress oxidative induced by pesticides was also investigated. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were isolated using differential centrifugation on a density gradient of Histopaque. They were cultured with mitogen concanavalin A (Con A), Mancozeb and Metribuzin (50 μM) in the presence or the absence of vitamin C (50 μM) or NADH (50 μM). Proliferation (MTT assay), IL-2, INFγ and IL-4 (Elisa kits), oxidative markers (intracellular superoxide anion, hydroperoxides, carbonyl proteins, GSH, catalase and SOD) were determined, The results showed that pesticides were immunosuppressive and decreased cytokine secretion with a shift away from to Thl phenotype. These immunomodulatory properties were accompanied by an increase in lymphocyte intracellular oxidative stress. The presence of vitamin C or NADH, in the medium, exhibited protective effects in human lymphocytes by inhibiting pesticide---induced lymphocyte proliferation suppression, inflammatory status and oxidative stress generation. In conclusion, vitamin C and NADH can result in a safe and effective method to reduce pesticide adverse effects and help to restore immune function.展开更多

文摘目的研究幽门螺杆菌(Hp)对肝癌HepG2细胞原癌基因C-Met表达的影响。方法将Hp与HepG2细胞共同培养,设置空白对照组、Hp组、C-Met抑制剂空白组和C-Met抑制剂Hp组,每组设副孔5个,采用CCK8试剂盒检测HepG2细胞增殖活性,采用Western blot和qPCR方法检测C-Met原癌基因蛋白和mRNA表达水平。结果相较于空白对照组,Hp处理组HepG2细胞增殖活性升高且与时间呈正相关,而C-Met抑制剂可以抑制HepG2细胞的增殖活性。同时,Hp组HepG2细胞C-Met基因蛋白和mRNA表达水平均上调,C-Met抑制剂组则显著下调。相较于Hp共培养12 h,共培养24 h C-Met蛋白和mRNA表达水平均上调。结论Hp促进HepG2细胞的增殖可能与其提高原癌基因C-Met的蛋白及其mRNA表达水平有关,为后续更深入研究肝癌发生发展的复杂机制提供了理论依据。
