Impact of dissolved humic acid on the bioavailability of acenaphthene and chrysene assessed by membrane-based passive samplers

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is known to reduce the bioavailability of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in aqueous environments. This reduction occurs as a result of adsorption to DOC, apparently reducing the freely dissolved concentration of HOCs. In the present study, triolein-embedded cellulose acetate membrane (TECAM) and Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) were used to measure the uptake of acenaphthene and chrysene in the presence of commercial humic acid (HA) at different concentrations (0―15 mg C·L-1) under controlled laboratory conditions. Apparent uptake rate constants for PAHs in TECAM and medaka were compared and DOC-water partition coefficients (KDOCs) of two PAHs were calculated with different sampling methods by model fit. Results showed that HA present in water significantly reduced the uptake of PAHs in TECAM and medaka. The obtained values of log KDOC of acenaphthene and chrysene measured by TECAM were 4.63 and 5.83, respectively, whereas biologically determined values were 4.52 and 5.76, respectively. These log KDOC values were comparable to earlier published KDOCs toward commercial HA, thereby indicating that TECAM accumulated only the freely dissolved fraction of chemicals and uptake PAHs in a manner similar to that of fish. All these results suggested that the TECAM method can provide a good means for assessing the impact of DOC on bioavailability of PAHs in the aqueous environment.     

Palaeogeothermal response and record of the effusing of Emeishan basalts in the Sichuan basin

Thermal history of the Sichuan basin is reconstructed based on vitrinite reflectance from boreholes in the basin using a paleo-heat flow method.The results show that the Sichuan basin experienced a relatively low heat flow period in the Early Paleozoic,and an elevated paleo-heat flow,ranging 60-80 mW/m2 with a maximum as high as 100 mW/m2 around 259 Ma,from the beginning of the Late Paleozoic to the end of the early Permian,and a decreased paleo-heat flow from the late Permian to the late Triassic,and then ...     

靶向淋巴系统造影剂的制备及其动物实验

采用两种方法,一种方法是以右旋糖酐（Dextran）和DTPA的二酐为原料,DMAP为催化剂,另一种是以右旋糖酐和DTPA为原料,采用DMAP及EDC.HCl为联合催化剂,合成造影剂Dextran-DTPA-Gd.通过比较产物的水溶性及Gd含量确定了最佳制备条件,得到了钆含量为16.1%、水溶性好的高分子造影剂;通过FTIR、粒度分析表征了Dextran-DTPA-Gd的结构及其分子粒径大小（分布范围为100～150nm,平均值为130nm）;动物实验中,以钆喷酸葡胺注射液（Magnevist）为阳性对照,通过对比家兔腿部磁共振成像图,绘制腿部淋巴系统信号增强率-时间曲线,证明Dextran-DTPA-Gd具有更高的信号增强效果（最高值为314%）及淋巴系统选择性的特点,为其进一步应用奠定了基础.
