The results showed that oxygen consumption rates were elevated significantly during 3 h sulfide exposure compared to the control (P〈0.05). The concentration of sulfite in body wall and hindgut of experimental worms increased significantly (P〈0.05) when exposed to 50 μmolL^-1 sulfide, reached a maximum at 24 h and then decreased. Similar result was observed in worms exposed to 150 μmolL^-1 sulfide except that sulfite concentration reached a maximum at 12 h. Contents of thiosulfate in body wall and hindgut of U. unicinctus exposed to sulfide were also significantly higher than that of the control without sulfide exposure. In conclusion, during short-time sulfide exposure U. unicinctus may raise oxygen consumption to detoxify toxic sulfide into sulfite and thiosulfate. Sulfide detoxification was restrained when the exposure time was prolonged or sulfide concentration was increased, which was indicated by decrease of sulfite, the intermediate product of sulfide detoxification.展开更多

In this work, the thin MIFs were formed on a gold sensor chip through thermal co-polymerization of functional mono- mers (methacrylic acid, MAA) and crosslinking monomers (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, EGD- MA) in the presence of template molecules PETN. The template molecules PETN were subsequently removed from the MIFs simply by rinsing the MIFs with a mixture of acetonitrile and acetic acid 9:1 ( v/v), thus the recognition sites were formed for specific detection of PETN. According to the mass coverage equation, the surface coverage of removed PETN from MIFs was about 10. 8 ng/mm~. The developed SPR sensor allowed for the detection of PETN at concentration down to 10-~~ mol/L. A control experiment utilizing an analogue cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) showed MIFs' good selectivity to PETN.展开更多
