我国土壤污染防治立法研究

我国目前在土壤污染防治方面不仅没有专门性单行法律、法规,而且在《环境保护法》等法律、法规中也只有些零散规定,防治土壤污染的法律基本上是一项空白,缺乏系统的、可操作性的具体法律制度。立法的缺乏直接导致环境管理权的缺乏,这与土壤污染的严峻形势及其防治的实际需要很不相适应,在土壤污染防治问题的原因分析中,几乎都将政策与法律的缺失问题作为最主要原因之一。为了使土壤污染防治有法可依,需要健全和完善土壤污染防治法律、法规体系,目前,最亟需制定的是一部综合性的土壤污染防治的法律,对我国土壤污染防治的目的、基本原则、管理体制和主要制度作出规定。     

Successful DNA typing of ultrafiltered urines used to detect EPO doping

Endogenous and exogenous erythropoietin (EPO) present in urine can be distinguished according to their isoelectric profiles. This methodology requires urine samples to be concentrated about 200 to 1000 times with manipulations that should remove most of the cells occurring in the original sample. In this study, we tried to obtain DNA profiles from 10 ultrafiltered urines (retentates) in order to evaluate whether a formal genetic identification was technically feasible. No nuclear DNA profiles could be established from retentates, despite 34 PCR-cycles amplifications. Contrastingly, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) profiles were obtained for 9 out of the 10 retentates. Apart from some particularities, retentate mtDNA profiles were all distinct and matched mtDNA profiles of corresponding reference samples.     

Y-STR analysis on DNA mixture samples—Results of a collaborative project of the ENFSI DNA Working Group

The ENFSI (European Network of Forensic Science Institutes) DNA Working Group undertook a collaborative project on Y-STR typing of DNA mixture samples that were centrally prepared and thoroughly tested prior to the shipment. Four commercial Y-STR typing kits (Y-Filer, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA; Argus Y Nonaplex, Biotype, Dresden, Germany; Powerplex Y, Promega, Madison, WI, USA; and DYSplex-3, SERAC, Bad Homburg, Germany) were used for the amplification of the mixture samples. The results of the study showed a striking inter-laboratory difference of kit performance as determined from the peak heights of the obtained Y-STR genotypes. Variation in quantity and quality of the shipped DNA can be excluded as reason for the observed differences because both samples and shipping conditions were found to be reproducible in an earlier study. The results suggest that in some cases a laboratory-specific optimization process is indicated to reach a comparable sensitivity for the analysis of minute amounts of DNA.     

Implementation of a robotized real-time PCR setup for the use of the Quantifiler™ Human DNA Quantification Kit

Human DNA quantification occupies a central role within the DNA analytic process of forensic casework samples as DNA quantification results have an important impact on the quality of the short tandem repeat data. Manual processing for the setup of quantification reactions can be time consuming and labor intensive. Therefore automation of quantitative real-time PCR setup was an important component of our DNA-analysis automation concept. Here we show the implementation of a robotized setup for the Quantifiler™ Human DNA Quantification Kit.     

Object-oriented Bayesian networks for paternity cases with allelic dependencies

This study extends the current use of Bayesian networks by incorporating the effects of allelic dependencies in paternity calculations. The use of object-oriented networks greatly simplify the process of building and interpreting forensic identification models, allowing researchers to solve new, more complex problems. We explore two paternity examples: the most common scenario where DNA evidence is available from the alleged father, the mother and the child; a more complex case where DNA is not available from the alleged father, but is available from the alleged father’s brother. Object-oriented networks are built, using HUGIN, for each example which incorporate the effects of allelic dependence caused by evolutionary relatedness.     

The impurity characteristics of methamphetamine synthesized by Emde and Nagai method

Impurity profiling and classification of seized methamphetamine may play an important role in the interpretation of analytical results, the determination of the synthetic method employed, and the criminal investigations of drug traffic routes. Our study is focused on classifying seized methamphetamine samples according to the groups sorted by the types and quantities of impurities present in illicit methamphetamine samples. The samples (100 mg) were dissolved in 2 mL of potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), extracted with 200 μL of ethyl acetate under basic condition, and then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) with a DB-1 capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 μm). Five impurities are used as criteria for the classification of seized methamphetamine samples by Emde and Nagai method. A total of fifty-two samples of seized methamphetamine were analyzed by GC–MS and classified by five organic impurities, and then sorted into four groups, which are Nagai type, Emde Type, Undetermined I type, and Undetermined II type.

利用AP-PCR对柔嫩艾美球虫不同地理株及其杂交株多态性的研究

用随机引物PCR(AP PCR)技术对鸡柔嫩艾美球虫(Eimeria tenella)黑龙江株(H)、山东株(S)及黑龙江株与山东株的杂交株(F1)进行了研究,同时对 2 个不同地理株的子代株与亲代株和F1 株的亲缘关系进行了分析。结果,鸡柔嫩艾美球虫不同地理株之间以及同一地理株的亲代与子代之间存在DNA多态性;并且不同地理株间的种内变异程度较大(Si=0.642 3~0.637 0);同一地理株亲代与子代之间的亲缘关系也稍有改变,但其变异程度不大(Si=0.983 0~0.981 1)。对F1 株的AP PCR分析发现,F1 株与H株、S株的相似值分别为0.692 9、0.682 5,介于H株与S株相似值和传代株间的相似值之间。结果表明,F 株既具有两亲本株的遗传性状,又发生了变异。
