ICP-AES测定云南楚雄糖尿病患者发样微量元素的研究

探讨微量元素与糖尿病间的关联性及临床意义。采用ICP-AES等离子体发射光谱仪测定了楚雄地区糖尿病患者人发中11种元素,采用2,3-二氨基萘荧光法测定发样中的硒元素。选取糖尿病患者120例,对照组35例。糖尿病组发样中常量元素Ca、Mg低于对照组,P高于对照组;除Cd、Cr、Fe外,微量元素Zn、Se、Ni、Mn、Cu等5种元素低于对照组,并有显著差异(P0.01)。糖尿病组间性别比较数据显示男性除发Ni、Mn、P外,其余元素含量均低于女性,其中发锌远低于女性。3个不同年龄段糖尿病人群的微量元素含量变化显示Fe、P2种元素随年龄增加含量增高;Mg、Cd2种元素随年龄增加含量减少;其余各元素变化情况为Fe、P元素在老年组中较高,Cu、Cd、Mg较低;Mn、Cr、Cu元素含量在中年组中较高,而Zn、Se略低;Zn、Se在青年组较高,而Mn、Cr低。城市人群发中Zn、Cd、Cu、Mg、Ca含量比农村人群高;Se元素含量二者间差别也不大,其余元素含量均低于农村人群。楚雄地区糖尿病患者发中Zn、Se、Mg、Mn4种元素水平低,楚雄地区糖尿病患者致病原因可能与地区属低Se水平和患者体内硒水平低有关。     

不同成熟度双孢菇子实体主要营养元素与矿物质的光谱分析

采用电感耦合等离子体-原子发射光谱(ICP-AES)法对小菇到开伞的4个不同成熟度(Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ)双孢菇子实体的Na,K,P,Ca,Mg等常量元素及Cu,Se,Mo,Fe等微量元素含量进行了测定,同时对水分含量、可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖、维生素C等含量进行了分析。结果发现成熟度Ⅰ的双孢菇子实体中Na,K,P,Mg,Cu,Se,Mo含量均显著高于其他3个成熟度(α=0.05),Ca和Fe的含量均显著高于成熟度Ⅲ和Ⅳ;成熟度Ⅳ的Se含量显著高于成熟度Ⅱ和Ⅲ,Na含量显著高于成熟度Ⅱ,Cu含量显著高于成熟度Ⅲ;成熟度Ⅱ和Ⅲ的K,P,Ca,Mg,Mo,Fe的含量显著高于成熟度Ⅳ;而成熟度Ⅳ的含水量显著高于成熟度Ⅰ和Ⅲ,与成熟度Ⅱ的无显著性差异;4个成熟度的可溶性蛋白含量均无显著差异;成熟度Ⅳ的可溶性糖含量显著低于其他3个成熟度;成熟度Ⅲ的维生素C含量与成熟度Ⅰ的无显著性差异,但显著高于成熟度Ⅱ和Ⅳ,成熟度Ⅰ与Ⅳ的维生素C含量显著高于成熟度Ⅱ。通过对4个成熟度双孢菇子实体矿质元素和营养成分含量的分析,发现成熟度Ⅰ和Ⅱ的双孢菇子实体是人体必需的矿物质元素更优质的来源,但总的来说成熟度不同的双孢菇(过大和过小的)仍然可以作为优质鲜食菇品出售,为食品加工企业和消费者选择双孢菇产品提供有利依据。     

转小鼠金属硫蛋白(MT)基因烟草不同器官中金属离子铅和锌的分布

转金属硫蛋白(MT)基因植物具有清除重金属污染的能力,但是金属离子在植物体内的分布研究较少。文章以多代培育纯合的转MT烟草为材料,研究了转MT基因烟草积累铅和锌以及铅和锌在不同器官的分布情况。结果表明转基因植株的老叶、茎部和根部铅和锌积累量显著高于普通烟草植株,整株的铅和锌含量分别提高了21.8%和27.2%。铅和锌在植物体内的分布也发生了变化,转基因植株老叶和根中的铅含量分别高出普通烟草同位置的30.2%和47.8%,锌在转基因植株老叶、茎和根中的含量分别高出普通烟草同位置的44.7%,29.2%和21.6%,说明铅更容易在转基因植株老叶和根中积累,而锌更容易在转基因植株的老叶和茎中积累。     

HR-ICP-MS研究黄河三个连续区域段表层沉积物中重金属污染的空间分布和季节变化

采用高分辨电感耦合等离子体质谱(HR-ICP-MS) 和地积累指数法(I_geo) 对黄河甘肃、宁夏和内蒙古自治区连续三段表层沉积物中重金属(Cr,Pb,Cd,Cu,Zn 和 Ni)的空间分布和季节性波动(丰水期、枯水期和平水期) 以及污染状况进行系统研究分析,研究结果表明：内蒙古段三个季节中沉积物重金属含量都高于甘肃和宁夏段,同时,除Cd外,丰水期所有点的沉积物重金属含量都高于枯水期和平水期,而枯水期和平水期的重金属含量相近。I_geo结果显示丰、枯水期的Cd,Cu和Cr元素的I_geo值在内蒙古段最高,而在甘肃段最低;所有重金属的I_geo值在丰水期高于枯水期,除Cd外,都在平水期降低,而ICd_geo在平水期各采样点明显上升;丰水期的甘肃段、枯水期的甘肃和宁夏段以及平水期的所有采样点中的Pb,Zn和Ni的I_geo值都小于0,表明这些元素在这些点几乎无污染。就研究区域而言,内蒙古段的重金属含量以及生态风险最高,Cr,Cd和Cu是最具有潜在风险的三个元素;就研究季节而言,丰水期的重金属含量和潜在风险高于枯水期和平水期,可能是跟丰水期沉积物的pH和总有机碳(TOC)含量较高有关。相关性分析(CCA)用来探究重金属与pH/TOC间的关系以及重金属的潜在来源。CCA的结果表明Pb,Cu,Zn和Ni互相相关,并且这四种元素容易受到周围环境pH和TOC的影响,除此之外,Cr,Cd以及TOC 三者相关,且这两种元素受到人类活动影响较严重。该研究工作可为研究区域表层沉积物重金属在不同季节的环境行为提供有效的信息,同时,研究重金属、pH和TOC之间的相关性可有效揭示重金属的潜在来源。     

Strain-induced interaction of interstitials in IVA group hcp metals

Strain-induced (elastic) interactions of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon atoms in IVA group metals, α-Ti, Zr, and -Hf, are calculated in the framework of the microscopic Krivoglaz-Kanzaki-Khachaturyan theory. The experimental elastic constants, lattice spacing of the host metal, and concentration expansion coefficients are used as the input numerical parameters. The resulting interactions are stronger in α-Ti than in α-Zr and α-Hf. A comparative analysis of interactions in the hcp IVA group metals with those in bcc and fcc solid solutions reveals the crystal structure effect. In general, the strain-induced interactions of O, N, and C in hcp IVA group metals are weaker than in bcc solid solutions and are stronger than in fcc solid solutions.     

基于BCR和HG-ICP-AES的矿区土壤重金属污染特征分析

建立了基于BCR法(连续提取法)和HG-ICP-AES技术的土壤重金属形态含量的检测方法。在选定的实验条件下,HG-ICP-AES对Hg, Pb和As的检测限分别达到0.6,1.5和0.8 ng·mL-1。对国家标准沉积物样品中Hg,Pb和As的含量进行对照测定,检测结果与推荐值一致,标准物质中Hg, Pb和As多次重复测定的RSD均<8%。应用本法实测了湘西某有色金属矿区土壤中Hg, Pb和As各形态的含量,发现矿区土壤中Hg, Pb和As均以残渣态为主,有机态和Fe-Mn氧化态次之,酸交换态含量较少;与对照区相比,矿区土壤中酸交换态、Fe-Mn氧化态、有机态、残渣态Hg, Pb和As的含量分别增加1.2, 3.0, 47, 272倍(Hg); 1.2, 4.6, 8.1, 4.5倍(Pb); 1.5, 2.9, 3.3, 2.2倍(As); 表明湘西矿区土壤同时存在Hg, Pb和As的复合污染。     

动力学阿尔文波及其在太阳和空间等离子体中的应用(英文)

动力学阿尔文波是短波长的色散阿尔文波,其色散主要是由于垂直波长接近离子回旋半径或电子惯性长度等微观粒子动力学特征尺度而引起的。在频率远低于离子回旋频率的低频条件下,其平行波长通常仍然远大于离子惯性长度,这导致动力学阿尔文波在电磁偏振和传播方向上呈现显著各向异性的重要特性,并因此使其在磁等离子体的粒子能化现象和结构丝化现象中起重要作用。动力学阿尔文波早期于1970年代由Chen和Hasegawa研究聚变等离子体加热问题时首先提出。随后,在1980年代受到空间等离子体、特别是电离层-磁层耦合与极光现象研究的广泛关注。进入1990年代后,由于在空间卫星探测技术和地面等离子体实验技术的不断发展,特别是一些高分辨空间等离子体探测仪器和地面大型等离子体实验设备投入工作以来,在动力学阿尔文波的实验研究上取得了一系列突破性的重要进展。这不仅导致对动力学阿尔文波在磁等离子体动力学现象中重要作用的重新估价和正视,并再次激发了对动力学阿尔文波理论及其在实验室、空间和天体环境下各类等离子体活动现象中应用研究的广泛兴趣。自1990年代中期以来,我们在中国科学院紫金山天文台的研究小组一直致力于动力学阿尔文波及其在太阳和空间等离子体粒子能化现象中应用的研究。这篇综述性报告主要介绍了有关动力学阿尔文波非线性孤波理论及其在空间和太阳等离子体粒子能化现象中应用的研究进展,也是我们这十几年来在这一领域研究工作的一个总结。报告的第0章简要介绍动力学阿尔文波的一些主要特征及其在磁等离子体动力学现象中的重要作用。然后,在第1章中利用等离子体的双流体方程、结合有关的实验观测,系统介绍了动力学阿尔文波的色散、传播、偏振等基本特性和在一维孤波与二维涡旋等非线性结构理论方面的研究进展。接下来的第2、3、4章将聚焦在动力学阿尔文波的耗散机制及其在太阳和空间等离子体粒子能化现象中的应用研究上,分别包括:动力学阿尔文孤波的耗散结构及其在极光高能电子加速现象中的应用(第2章);动力学阿尔文孤波中重离子的各向异性能化机制及其在延伸日冕中少量重离子反常加热现象中的应用(第3章);以及动力学阿尔文波的反常耗散机制及其在日冕磁等离子体结构非均匀加热现象中的应用(第4章)。最后的第5章是一个简要的总结和几点进一步发展的展望。     

Sex differences in human cardiovascular responses to external excitation

Summary The purpose of this study was to investigate the sex particularities in human cardiovascular responses to different external influences using the traditional physiological approach and non-traditional methods of dynamical systems theory. Measurements were taken in 21 healthy women and 15 men exposed to noise stress, passive coping, and in 35 women and 25 men exposed to double mental arithmetic stress, active coping. Results showed that, firstly, cardiovascular reactivity in men and women was determined by the type of stress. Thus, in a majority of humans heart rate did not change during noise but increased during mental stress, blood pressure decreased during noise but increased during mental stress. Secondly, results demonstrated the significant sex differences in the basal and stress cardiovascular activity. So, the women showing the greater basal and stress heart rate displayed the hypotensive responses to passive coping more often and the hypertensive responses to active coping less often than men. Thirdly, the changes in normalized entropy of the electrocardiogram signal, reflecting the changes in heart physiological variability, also depended on the sex of subjects and the nature of stress. During noise normalized entropy increased in a majority of women but decreased in a majority of men. Mental stress caused both decreases and increases in normalized entropy in men and women. But the increases in normalized entropy during stress and especially during recovery were greater in women than in men. Normalized entropy was demonstrated to be a more sensitive marker of sex and individual differences in cardiovascular responses to stress than heart rate and blood pressure. Results suggest that the lower blood pressure reactions and the greater increases in normalized entropy,i.e. in physiological heart variability, may partly result in higher cardiovascular stress resistance in women relative to men.

Review of in situ X-ray fluorescence analysis technology in China

In the past two decades, the in situ X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology has been developed rapidly in China, which is mainly due to the rapid development of China's economy and the great demand for rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements in geological exploration, environmental protection, and industrial process analysis. In this article, the development of in situ XRF analysis technology in China is reviewed from three aspects, namely in situ XRF analyzers, in situ XRF analysis technology, and applications of in situ XRF analysis technology. The in situ XRF analyzers are divided into four generations, and the technical characteristics of each generation of analyzers are discussed from the perspectives of X-ray excitation source, detector, electronic circuit unit, and digital signal processing. The progress of X-ray spectrum analysis, matrix effect correction, and correction of uneven effect and humidity effect is reviewed. The representative applications of XRF analysis technology in geological and mineral survey, environmental pollution investigation, cultural relic identification, and alloy analysis are introduced.     

胶磷矿中杂质赋存形式及酸解过程变化

我国中低品位胶磷矿量大、分布广,磷矿中杂质种类及含量对于磷石膏结晶及磷酸品质均有较大影响。以湖北某地区的典型低品位胶磷矿为原料,采用X射线光电子能谱仪、扫描电镜、能谱等方法,分析了磷矿及反应后磷石膏中的主要杂质种类及含量变化,并以此推测湿法磷酸过程中杂质的主要变化。结果表明磷矿中的主要成分是氟磷灰石和石英,杂质组分占比最高的分别是硅、铝、氟、镁,其中硅主要以石英和硅酸钙存在,氟主要存在于氟磷酸钙中,铝是以不同形式的铝硅酸盐存在的,而镁则是以MgF₂和部分硅酸盐存在。通过酸解反应,钙与硫酸根生成磷石膏,硅元素主要存在于固相石膏中,而铝、氟、镁则大部分进入到液相磷酸中,其中存在于固相中的硅则基本以石英形式存在,硅酸钙溶解于酸液中,铝主要以铝硅磷的化合物存在,氟则以氟硅化物形式存在,大部分的MgF₂溶解进入液相,磷石膏中镁主要以镁硅酸盐形式存在。通过磷矿中杂质存在形式及反应过程的变化研究,可以更好的明晰酸解过程中的体系变化,从而为磷石膏结晶过程的考察和控制提供理论基础。     

20年前后正常人肺组织51种元素含量比较

采用电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(ICP-MS)、发射光谱仪(ICP-AES) 及石墨炉原子吸收光谱(GFAAS)对采自1982-83年及2004-05年的正常男性肺样品中的51种元素含量进行了测定及比较。样品经微波消解及敞开式酸法消解。结果显示,2004-05年样品相比于1982-83年样品,Na,Mg,P,K,As,Mo,Ag,Ba,Bi及除Sc外的所有被测稀土共23种元素的含量显著降低,Zn,Ga,Ge,Se,Au和Zr六种元素含量显著增加。这种变化可能与20年前后外界环境的改变及生活、饮食习惯等的改变有关,如20年前肺中稀土的高含量可能由于当时大量的稀土农用引起,而20年后某些微量有益元素(Zn和Se)明显上升与近年来健康意识提高有关,此外近年样品Pb, Cd, Cr和Ni等重金属元素含量的增加则有可能与空气质量恶化等因素有关。一半以上被测元素含量发生显著改变,故基于元素含量的正常值范围有必要在不同时期做出相应的调整。     

LC-DAD/ESI-MS/MS study of phenolic compounds in ash (Fraxinus excelsior L. and F. americana L.) heartwood. Effect of toasting intensity at cooperage

The phenolic composition of heartwood extracts from Fraxinus excelsior L. and F. americana L., both before and after toasting in cooperage, was studied using LC-DAD/ESI-MS/MS. Low-molecular weight (LMW) phenolic compounds, secoiridoids, phenylethanoid glycosides, dilignols and oligolignols compounds were detected, and 48 were identified, or tentatively characterized, on the basis of their retention time, UV/Vis and MS spectra, and MS fragmentation patterns. Some LMW phenolic compounds like protocatechuic acid and aldehyde, hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol, were unlike to those for oak wood, while ellagic and gallic acid were not found. The toasting of wood resulted in a progressive increase in lignin degradation products with regard to toasting intensity. The levels of some of these compounds in medium-toasted ash woods were much higher than those normally detected in toasted oak, highlighting vanillin levels, thus a more pronounced vanilla character can be expected when using toasted ash wood in the aging wines. Moreover, in seasoned wood, we found a great variety of phenolic compounds which had not been found in oak wood, especially oleuropein, ligstroside and olivil, along with verbascoside and isoverbascoside in F. excelsior, and oleoside in F. americana. Toasting mainly provoked their degradation, thus in medium-toasted wood, only four of them were detected. This resulted in a minor differentiation between toasted ash and oak woods. The absence of tannins in ash wood, which are very important in oak wood, is another peculiar characteristic that should be taken into account when considering its use in cooperage.     

半干旱采煤塌陷不同应力区典型植物高光谱特征分析

利用高光谱反演、监测植被生长状况的基础是光谱特征识别。以半干旱采煤塌陷区为样地，利用Field Spec 3地物光谱仪与SPAD-502叶绿素仪同步采集采煤地表塌陷形成的不同应力区(非采区、中性区、拉伸区、压缩区)典型植物叶片光谱反射率与叶绿素含量(SPAD值)，分析典型植物相同应力区SPAD值升高其光谱特征的变化，对比不同应力区典型植物SPAD值较高与较低时光谱特征的差异，并借助Matlab软件深入研究不同应力区典型植物SPAD值与差值指数、归一化指数的相关关系。结果表明：(1)不同应力区同种植物光谱曲线随着SPAD值不同变化规律相异，可见光波段区分明显，其余波段受应力影响的区域样本SPAD值不同，反射率比非采区波动更为剧烈与无序。可见光波段，糙隐子草、柠条、杨树、油蒿SPAD值低的样本光谱曲线绿峰缺失，SPAD值升高，绿峰出现但位置红移，SPAD值高于30时，为典型植被光谱曲线，油松样本SPAD值越高反射峰值越小；受应力影响的区域SPAD值低的样本谷、峰、边特征参数缺失更多，光谱变化规律不强。(2)400～700 nm波段，不同应力区糙隐子草、油蒿、油松、柠条样本SPAD值较低组反射率显著高于较高组，杨树样本相反；780～1 350 nm波段，拉伸区的糙隐子草、非采区的油蒿和柠条、压缩区的油松和杨树样本SPAD值较高组与较低组的反射率差异小；相较于非采区，受应力影响的糙隐子草、油蒿、柠条样本在所测波段SPAD值较高组与较低组的同波段反射率差值显著减小。(3)受应力影响的区域样本SPAD值与光谱指数相关性较之非采区在某些波段大面积增强。与非采区相比，中性区的油蒿、油松、柠条、杨树样本SPAD值与光谱指数的最大相关系数值均增大，糙隐子草相反；非采区植物SPAD值与NDVI最大相关系数均高于DI，波段组合多位于近红外，受应力影响区域的样本最大相关系数多数位于可见光波段。本研究为矿区不同应力区典型植物高光谱波段识别与植物健康状态监测、矿区生态环境精准治理提供了理论支撑。     

Cytoplasmic RNA and nuclear changes detected cytochemically during the degeneration of salivary glands of the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille, 1806) (Acari, Ixodidae)

The present study reports cytochemistry data about salivary glands of females (unfed, engorged, and at day three post-engorgement) and males (unfed, at day seven post-attachment, and at days three and seven post-detachment from the host) of the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. The results revealed nuclear changes in engorged females and at day three post-engorgement, and in males in all stages (except unfed). These changes were more prominent in females. Cytoplasmic changes were also observed in cells of all acini of males and females. In types II and III acini of engorged females, nuclear changes were observed in the shape (irregular, with blebs, fragmenting or fragmented), size (enlarged or reduced), and arrangement and condensation level of chromatin (marginal or as blebs). Changes were also detected in nucleoli, regarding their shape (fragmenting or fragmented), size (enlarged), and location (central, marginal or as blebs). Some nucleoli were also compacted or disorganized. In females at day three pos-engorgement, all acini exhibited similar changes to those observed in engorged females. RNA staining was stronger in cells of engorged females than those at day three post-engorgement. In males at day seven post-attachment, cells of types II, III, IV acini presented changes in the size of the nucleus and condensation level of chromatin similar to those of females. The shape of the nucleus was round, irregular or undergoing fragmentation, and the chromatin was located at the margin or throughout the nucleus. The changes in the nucleolus were similar to those of females, regarding size and organization, although round-shaped and in the central location. In males at day three post-detachment, cells of all acini exhibited nuclear changes similar to those of males at day seven post-attachment, in addition to the fragmentation of the nucleolus. At day seven post-detachment, changes were detected in all acini similar to the observed in males at day seven post-attachment. Regarding cytoplasmic RNA, staining was prominent in males at day seven post-attachment and weak in those at day seven post-detachment from the host. In females as well as males, different RNA staining patterns in the cytoplasm and nuclear changes characterized apoptotic cell death.     

Isotope variations in white-tailed kites from various habitats in California: possible limitations in assessing prey utilization and population dynamics

White-tailed kite (Elanus leucurus) populations in the 1930s were close to extirpation in the United States. But by the 1940s, an upward trend towards recovery was apparent and continued to their current stable population levels. These dramatic fluctuations in kite numbers may have been related to changes in rodent prey populations due to the conversion of native habitats to agriculture. To address this question, we evaluated the use of stable isotope analysis in determining if a shift in diet could be isotopically differentiated in current and historic kite populations. We first compared delta13C, delta15N, and delta34S values from present-day kite flight feathers and prey fur samples from four locations in California. The total ranges of isotope values for kite and their rodent prey were similar within each site. Carbon isotope values ranged from -27.1 to -22.2 per thousand in Arcata, -26.1 to -16.9 per thousand in Davis, -27.0 to -15.0 per thousand in Cosumnes, and -28.2 to -11.6 per thousand in Santa Barbara. Nitrogen isotope values ranged from 3.2 to 15.7 per thousand in Arcata, 2.8 to 12.7 per thousand in Davis, 4.0 to 15.7 per thousand in Cosumnes, and 1.7 to 20.0 per thousand in Santa Barbara. Sulfur isotope values ranged from -7.8 to 12.4 per thousand in Arcata, -1.1 to 9.2 per thousand in Davis, 0.7 to 10.9 per thousand in Cosumnes, and -8.6 to 15.6 per thousand in Santa Barbara. Carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur isotope values at each site reflect typical trophic enrichments due to physiological processes. At each site, delta13C and delta15N values reflected the influence of a predominantly C3 or a mixed C3/C4 plant community. Sulfur isotope values reflect the influence of predominant marine or terrestrial sulfur sources at each site. However, variability in isotope values may limit the usefulness of such analyses for addressing prey utilization and population dynamics.     

Spectral Properties of Single BODIPY Dyes in Polystyrene Microspheres and in Solutions

The absorption, fluorescence, fluorescence quantum yield, and photostability of five BODIPY dyes are characterized and compared as single dyes in two environments, in 40-nm polystyrene spheres and in solution. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the dyes in spheres are similar in profile but shifted to lower energies compared to those in solution. All the dyes are highly fluorescent, with three having fluorescence quantum yields of 1.0. For three of the five dyes, the yields were the same in spheres as in solution (1.00, 1.00, and 0.73). The high concentration of these dyes in spheres does not quench their fluorescence. For two other dyes the yields dropped, from 1.00 to 0.55 in one case and 0.83 to 0.50 in another, comparing the dyes in solution versus in spheres. The photodegradation of the dyes decreases in spheres compared to in solution in all but one case. For one dye, it decreases as much as 800-fold. Dyes overlooked because of low fluorescence or stability in solution could become useful fluorescent materials in the microsphere environment.

微量元素在富士苹果中的分布

微量元素是人体必需的营养成分,微量元素的摄入量直接影响人体的健康。文章应用ICP-MS分析了市场销售的富士苹果果皮和果肉中微量元素的含量。结果显示苹果皮中含有丰富的人体必需元素,特别是Ca, Mn, Fe, Mo和I,含量分别达到 197 910, 1 623, 14 400, 47和91 ng·g-1·FW,果肉中分别是58 360, 281, 550, 18和24 ng·g-1·FW,果皮含量显著高于果肉,尤其是铁、锰、碘分别高出25.18, 4.78和2.79倍。只有Se含量相反,果皮中是2 ng·g-1·FW,果肉中高出一倍是4 ng·g-1·FW。这些结果表明苹果皮微量元素丰富,在食用时尽量减少果皮的损失,如果没有农药、重金属等污染清洗后即可食用。微量元素在苹果果实中分配规律的机理还需要进一步研究。     

原子吸收光谱法测定膜荚黄芪不同器官矿质元素含量

应用混合酸HNO₃-HClO₄ (4∶1) 在常压微沸条件下对膜荚黄芪根系及茎叶样品进行消解,采用原子吸收光谱法测定了膜荚黄芪不同器官即根及茎叶中五种人体必需矿质元素K,Fe,Zn,Mn和Cu含量,并对结果进行了统计分析与比较。该方法标准曲线相关系数为0.997 3～0.999 9, 加标回收率为92.88%～109.25%, 相对标准偏差(RSD,n=5) 为0.393 5%～3.175 2%。方法简单,结果可靠。结果显示,膜荚黄芪根及茎叶中5种矿质元素含量顺序均为K>Fe>Zn>Mn>Cu。膜荚黄芪不同器官矿质元素含量不同,根中富含Fe,Zn,Cu元素,根内Fe含量是茎叶的1.54倍。茎叶中也含有丰富的矿质元素,特别是K和Mn元素。茎叶中K含量是根的1.63倍,这与黄芪的药效相符合。试验结果将为研究矿质元素在黄芪植株中的分布以及矿质元素含量与黄芪药效相关性提供理论依据。     

Summary of FLUCOME 97 Hayama

This article is a summary of the fifth Triennial International Symposium on Fluid Control, Measurement and Visualization, FLUCOME ’97 Hayama, which was held from September 1 to September 4 in 1997 at Hayama, Japan. The FLUCOME symposium was held at first in Tokyo in 1985, the 2nd in 1988 in Sheffield, UK, the 3rd in 1991 in San Fransisco, USA, the 4th in 1994 in Toulouse, France, and came back again to Japan in 1997. FLUCOME ’97 Hayama was sponsored by the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers of Japan and Japan Science Foundation, and co-sponsored by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Japan Hydraulics and Pneumatics Society and the Visualization Society of Japan. The participants exchanged new information and deepened their friendship among them. A lot of new ideas and important research results were reported and the new directions in fluid control, measurement and visualization were discussed freely. The sixth symposium chaired by Prof. A. Laneville will be held in Sherbrooke (Québec) Canada in 2000, and the seventh will be held in Italy in 2003.
