Differential generation of hydrogen peroxide upon exposure to zinc and cadmium in the hyperaccumulating plant specie （Sedum alfredii Hance）

Sedum alfredii Hance has been identified as zinc （Zn） and cadmium （Cd） co-hyperaccumulator. In this paper the relationships of Zn or Cd hyperaccumulation to the generation and the role of H2O2 in Sedum alfredii H. were examined. The results show that Zn and Cd contents in the shoots of Sedum alfredii H. treated with 1000 μmol/L Zn^2＋ and/or 200 μmol/L Cd^2＋ increased linearly within 15 d. Contents of total S, glutathione （GSH） and H2O2 in shoots also increased within 15 d, and then decreased. Total S and GSH contents in shoots were higher under Cd^2＋ treatment than under Zn^2＋ treatment. However, reverse trends of H2O2 content in shoots were obtained, in which much higher H2O2 content was observed in Zn^2＋ -treated shoots than in Cd^2＋-treated shoots. Similarly, the microscopic imaging of H2O2 accumulation in leaves using H2O2 probe technique showed that much higher H2O2 accumulation was observed in the Zn^2＋-treated leaf than in the Cd^2＋ -treated one. These results suggest that there are different responses in the generation of H2O2 upon exposure to Zn^2＋ and Cd^2＋ for the hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii H. And this is the first report that the generation of H2O2 may play an important role in Zn hyperaccumulation in the leaves. Our results also imply that GSH may play an important role in the detoxification of dissociated Zn/Cd and the generation of H2O2.     

硫酸盐侵蚀冻融循环下聚乙烯醇纤维钢筋混凝土的黏结性能试验研究

为了研究硫酸盐侵蚀冻融循环下聚乙烯醇(PVA)纤维钢筋混凝土的粘结滑移性能,对4种掺不同体积百分比PVA纤维混凝土进行不同次数的硫酸盐浸泡下的冻融循环实验。实验结果表明,在一定范围内,随着PVA纤维掺量的增高可以提高混凝土的抗压强度;PVA纤维可以一定程度上阻止硫酸盐对混凝土的侵入,在硫酸盐冻融初期可以增强混凝土的抗压强度;在混凝土中添加一定量百分比体积的PVA纤维可以增加钢筋混凝土粘结的峰值滑移,增加了混凝土的塑性应变,硫酸盐冻融次数的增加会减少钢筋在混凝土中的峰值滑移。
