越来越多的人认为,鲨鱼的软骨提取物能够抵抗癌细胞。而近日,美国约翰斯·霍普金斯大学的生物学家在《癌症研究》杂志上撰文指出,这一说法并非理性和科学的,而是市场运作和伪科学的胜利,这对于鲨鱼和人类来说,都不能不是一个悲剧。约翰斯·霍普金斯大学生物和比较医学系的Ostrander教授说:“自从提出鲨鱼的软骨可以治愈癌症以来,统计数字不断显示鲨鱼的数量在呈现下降的趋势,但是同时,很多癌症患者却也没有得到行之有效的治疗。”在这篇题为“鲨鱼软骨、癌症和逐渐  相似文献

在伟大祖国辽阔的海洋中,鱼类不计其数,单鲨鱼就有350余种,这真叫你目不暇接。鲨鱼的嗅觉极为灵敏。据有关鱼类专家研究得知,1米长的鲨鱼,其鼻腔中密布嗅觉神经末梢的面积可达4842平方厘米,如果是5~7米长的噬人鲨的话,其灵敏的嗅觉可嗅数公里外的受伤人和海洋动物的血腥味道。虽然鲨鱼的名声并不好听,但绝大部分的鲨鱼对人类是有益无害的。鲨鱼的肝脏占总体重的15%~20%,特别是含油率高达63%左右,  相似文献

鲨鱼中的抗肿瘤活性物质及其作用机制   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
鲨鱼属于软骨鱼纲(Chondrichthyes)、鲨形总目(Selachomorpha),约250多种。在自然界中鲨鱼是极少患恶性肿瘤的动物之一,其发病率为百万分之一。美国科学家曾做过这样的研究,将高剂量的强致癌物质黄曲霉素B1注射到鲨鱼体内,不能诱发癌症。将黄曲霉素混入食物中长期给鲨鱼喂食,在近8年的研究中没有发现鲨鱼长出肿瘤。给鲨鱼接种癌细胞也不能诱发癌症。这提示鲨鱼体内具有独特的抗肿瘤机制。  相似文献

对夏季到海滨嬉水的人来说,没有什么比看到一条鲨鱼在海水中游动更使人惊恐的了。但研究鲨鱼的科学家表示,现在该到了忘掉“鲨鱼会吃人”这一说法的时候了,事实上,人类对鲨鱼构成的威胁要远远大于鲨鱼对人类进行的攻击。鲨鱼袭人导致的死亡事件比较罕见,美国佛罗里达州自然历史博物馆《国际鲨鱼攻击档案》汇编的统计数据显示,过去12年里,鲨鱼在美国海岸附近夺去了8个人的生命,在全世界则夺去了88人的生命。但人类对鲨鱼确实构成了威胁。在地球上生活了大约4.5亿年之后,鲨鱼目前正在面临着毁灭性的打击,消费者对鲨鱼肉需求的不断上升,捕鲨技求越来越高。所有这些都远远超出了鲨鱼自身相对缓慢的繁殖能力。包括黑鲨(dusky sharks)、虎鲨(sand tiger sharks)和夜鲨(night sharks)在内的七种鲨鱼成为美国联邦政府濒危物种名单上的候选物种。设在巴尔的摩的“国家水族馆”表示,专家们估计,过去15旱里,鲨鱼数量已经下降了90%。每年有数百万条鲨鱼被商业性捕鱼船队杀死,这些船队或者是直接捕捞它们,或者是在捕捞其他海产品时不经意用拖网钓鱼线捕捉到了它们。  相似文献

危险的亲近     
在南非开普敦,人们亲自潜水去观察鲨鱼。旅游者用金属笼为保护潜入水中,寻觅号称“水中霸王”的鲨鱼,以博取亲近鲨鱼的刺激。随着人们的热情日增,有时几个旅游船拥挤在一处安排游客下水。这里之所以出没许多大白鲨,主要是因为这是海豹的繁殖地,白鲨常来此觅食。自然保护主义者指出,如果旅游组织者能更负责地开展活动,那么观鲨这一活动不会有什么害处。但有些组织者却用其他旅行社抛弃不用已锈迹斑斑的笼子。开  相似文献

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.  相似文献

The interdependence between the seismo-acoustic properties of a marine sediment and its geotechnical/physical parameters has been known for many years, and it has been postulated that this should allow the extraction of geotechnical information from seismic data. Though in the literature many correlations have been published for the surficial layer, there is a lack of information for greater sediment depths. In this article, a desktop study on a synthetic seafloor model illustrates how the application of published near-surface prediction equations to subsurface sediments (up to several tens of meters burial depth) can lead to spurious predictions. To test this further, acoustic and geotechnical properties were measured on a number of sediment core samples, some of which were subjected to loading in acoustically-equipped consolidation cells (oedometers) to simulate greater burial depth conditions. For low effective pressures (representing small burial depths extending to around 10 meters subsurface), the general applicability of established relationships was confirmed: the prediction of porosity, bulk density, and mean grain size from acoustic velocity and impedance appears generally possible for the investigated sedimentary environments. As effective pressure increases through, the observed relationships deviate more and more from the established ones for the near-surface area. For the samples tested in this study, in some instances increasing pressure even resulted in decreasing velocities. There are several possible explanations for this abnormal behavior, including the presence of gas, overconsolidation, or bimodal grain size distribution. The results indicate that an appropriate depth correction must be introduced into the published prediction equations in order to obtain reliable estimates of physical sediment properties for greater subsurface depths.  相似文献

This article reviews information recently available from existing marine and coastal mining for responses to environmental issues affecting marine mining at different depths. It is particularly but not exclusively concerned with those issues affecting seabed biodiversity impact and recovery. Much information has been gathered in the past 10 years from shallow mining operations for construction aggregate, diamonds, and gold, from coastal mines discharging tailings to shallow and deep water, and from experimental deep mining tests. The responses to issues identified are summarized in a series of eight tables intended to facilitate site-specific consideration. Since impacts can spread widely in the surface mixing layer SML, and can affect the biologically productive euphotic zone, the main issues considered arise from the depth of mining relative to the SML of the sea. Where mining is below the SML, the issue is whether it is environmentally better to bring the extraction products to the surface vessel for processing (and waste discharge), or to process the extraction products as much as possible on the seabed. Responses to the issues need to be sitespecific, and dependent on adequate preoperational environmental impact and recovery prediction. For deep tailings disposal from a surface vessel, there are four important environmental unknowns: (1) the possible growth of "marine snow" (bacterial flocs) utilizing the enormous quantities of fine tailings particles (hundreds or thousands of metric tons per day) as nuclei for growth, (2) the possibility that local keystone plankton and nekton species may migrate diurnally down to and beyond the depth of deep discharge and hence be subjected to tailings impact at depth, (3) the burrow-up capability of deep benthos and their ability to survive high rates of tailings deposition, and (4) the pattern and rate of dispersion of a tailings density current through the deep water column from discharge point to seabed. Actions to obtain relevant information in general and site-specifically are suggested.  相似文献

Particle fluxes were measured 7 m above the sea bottom during the predisturbance, disturbance, and postdisturbance periods by using time series sediment traps attached to seven deep-sea moorings deployed in the INDEX experiment site in the Central Indian Basin. The predisturbance particle fluxes varied between 22.3 to 55.1 mg m -2 day -1 . Increased and variable particle fluxes were recorded by the sediment traps during the disturbance period. The increase observed was 0.5 to 4 times more than the background predisturbance fluxes. The increases in particle fluxes (~4 times) recorded by the sediment trap located in the southwestern direction (DMS-1) were the greatest, which could be the result of preferential movement of resuspended particles generated during the deep-sea benthic disturbance along the general current direction prevailing in this area during the experimental period. Also, the traps located closer to the disturbance area recorded greater fluxes than did the traps far away, across the Deep Sea Sediment Resuspension System path. This variability in recorded particle fluxes by the traps around the disturbance area clearly indicates that physical characteristics such as grain size and density of the resuspended particles produced during the disturbance had an important effect on particle movement. The postdisturbance measurements during ~5 days showed a reduction in particle fluxes of ~50%, indicating rapid particle settlement.  相似文献

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.  相似文献

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明:土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。  相似文献

The advanced piston corer (APC) has been used by the Ocean Drilling Program since 1985 for recovering soft sediments from the ocean floor. The pullout force measured on extracting the core barrel from the sediment is shown to correlate with the average shear strength of the sediment core measured in the ship's laboratory. A simple rule of thumb is derived relating the shear strength of the sediment to the pullout force. Multiple APC holes at individual sites allow the consistency of the pullout measurements to be assessed. The effects of different operational procedures during APC coring are also explored. Although generally applicable, the correlation between pullout force and laboratory measurements of shear strength breaks down for some APC holes, possibly because of the disturbance of some sediment types during the APC coring process. A better understanding of the physical process of APC coring, and its effect on the properties of the sediment both inside and immediately outside the core barrel, would indicate what confidence can be put on the measurement of pullout force as a way of evaluating the in situ shear strength of deep sea sediments.  相似文献

Specific properties of the interannual sea level variations and annual tides in the Northwestern Pacific were studied. Several tide stations were monitored. The monthly mean sea level for the year of 1995 was analyzed at each tide station. A seismic event in 1995, some tectonic activity around the subject area, and the Kuroshio (the oceanic western boundary current) may possibly contaminate results which would have occurred from the astronomical annual tide alone.  相似文献

The effect of different fixation and storage protocols on the flow cytometric (FCM) simultaneous analysis of bacterioplankton and phytoplankton in coastal seawater samples (Mediterranean coastal lagoons) was investigated. FCM measurements (cell number, fluorescence and scatter characteristics) were obtained through DAPI staining. Three fixatives [glutaraldehyde (GA), formaldehyde (FA) and paraformaldehyde (PFA)] and two storage (3 months duration) methods (5 °C and −196 °C) were tested. Two dominant populations were detected in studied samples: bacteria and eukaryotic picophytoplankton. Adding fixatives (2% final concentration) appears necessary to obtain FCM exhaustive counts of all the bacteria and phytoplanktonic cells. This was related to the permeation effect of fixatives which allowed a better DAPI staining of the cells. Maximum fluorescence, i.e. optimal staining of the cells was obtained with FA or PFA, and significant lower fluorescences with GA. Fixed samples stored at 5 °C induced rapid cell loss. Only storage in liquid nitrogen of samples fixed with FA or PFA, allows mid-term (≥4 months) preservation of bacteria or picophytoplankton cell numbers, and limited evolution of DAPI-induced fluorescence and scatter characteristics.  相似文献
