Diet control on carbon isotopic composition of land snail shell carbonate

Carbon isotope compositions for both the carbonate shells and soft bodies (organic tissue) of living land snails collected mostly from the Loess Plateau, China have been measured. The result shows that δ 13C values range from -13.1‰ to -4.3‰ for the aragonite shell samples and from -26.8‰ to -18.0‰ for the soft body samples. Although the shells are enriched in 13C relative to the bodies averagely by 14.2(±0.8)‰, the shell δ 13Ca values are closely correlated to the body δ 13Corg values, expressed as δ 13Ca = 1.021 δ 13Corg 14.38 (R = 0.965; N = 31). This relationship indicates that δ 13Ca is primarily a function of the isotopic composition of the snail diets since previous studies have proved that the snail body is the same as their food in carbon isotope composition. In other words, carbon isotope compo-sition of the carbonate shell can be used as a proxy to estimate the dietary 13C abundance of the land snails. The data also support that the 13C enrichment of the carbonate shells results mainly from the equilibrium fractionations between the metabolic CO2, HCO3-in the hemolymph and shell aragonite, and partially from kinetic fractionations when snail shells form during their activity.     

Icariin suppresses bone resorption activity of rabbit osteoclasts in vitro

The effect of icariin on the bone resorption activity of rabbit osteoclasts is assessed in vitro. Osteoclasts were isolated from Japanese white rabbits and cultured on plates with a sterilized bone slice in each well. After treatment with icariin at various concentrations, the bone resorption activity of osteoclasts was evaluated by examining pit areas, superoxide anion (·O2-) generation, size and number of actin rings and intracellular calcium concentration [Ca2 ]i. As revealed by these data, icariin elicited continuous decline of [Ca2 ]i, making actin ring constricted and ·O2- generation decreased. These events resulted in smaller and fewer pits which indicate suppressed bone resorption activity of rabbit osteoclasts by icariin.     

Micelles-template induced organic nanocrystals based on iodo…nitro interactions

The nanocrystals based on a polar organic compound INBP （4-iodo-4＇-nitrobiphenyl） have been fabricated by reprecipitation approach. For the formation of INBP based nanocrystals, the intermolecular iodo…nitro interaction is the dominant driving force and the micelles formed by the surfactant CTAB （cetyltrimethylammonium bromide） molecules are the efficient templates for controlling morphologies of nanocrystals. The field emission scanning electro microscope （FESEM） images demonstrated that prism-like and needle-like nanocrystals of INBP were formed in pure water and micell containing aqueous solution, respectively. XRD pattern and UV/vis absorption spectra were employed to characterize the nanocrystals.

线性等温吸附条件下有机污染物在地下饱水带中迁移的数学模型及参数分析

为研究在固-液界面的吸附降解等行为对饱水带中的有机污染物的迁移转化过程的影响,综合考虑有机污染物在饱水带中的扩散、吸附解吸、分配以及微生物降解作用,根据线性等温平衡吸附理论,建立了地下水流动方程与有机污染物在饱水带中迁移方程耦合的数学模型,探讨了模型中的分配系数及溶解项、吸附项的一阶反应速率等参数的改变对有机污染物运移规律的影响.结果表明,随着分配系数的增大,有机污染物因固相介质的吸附和截留而被限制其随地下水迁移;微生物降解作用对有机污染物的浓度有重要影响,随着反应速率的改变,污染物在固相和水相中的浓度迅速改变.本文的研究结果为定量描述溶质迁移过程提供理论依据,同时也为实验室中模型参数的测定提供可靠的依据.
