中文摘要      汞具有高致毒性、持久性和长距离迁移性等特征,已经成为一种全世界公认的持久性有毒物质(PTS)。汞及其化合物在环境中普遍存在,各形态的汞之间可以相互转化,尤其是无机汞可以通过生物甲基化或者光化学反应等过程形成毒性更大的甲基汞,并可通过食物链最终在人体内富集,严重危害人体健康。虽然现在汞的代谢及毒性受到广泛关注,但是其在生物体内吸收、转化的过程,及其确切的致毒机理尚不十分清楚。本文主要从汞的形态分析、生物有效性及其与生物大分子的相互作用等方面开展了相关研究。
      对石油及其产品中汞的形态分析方法进行了优化,对比了多种萃取体系(盐酸氢氧化钾-甲醇、四甲基氢氧化铵和酸性溴化钾/硫酸铜)及多种萃取方法(震荡、超声和微波辅助萃取)对有机汞的萃取效率,萃取后的有机汞用高效液相色谱-冷蒸气发生-原子荧光光谱(HPLC-CV-AFS)联用系统进行分离和定量。结果表明以四甲基氢氧化铵作为萃取试剂,60 W的功率微波辅助萃取   5 min的方法可以得到最优的提取效果。通过对 4个原油样品、3个汽油样品和   1个柴油样品进行检测,充分验证了该方法的可靠性。
      中药取材于天然动植物,其中含有的汞等重金属元素使其推广和出口受到了影响,但是仅用汞的总量进行健康风险评价并不全面,还应考虑其生物有效性。对市场上常见的多种中成药中的总汞进行了检测,了解汞的总体含量水平。然后通过模拟消化液提取的方法,对中成药中汞的生物有效性进行分析。结果表明,朱砂是中成药汞超标的主要来源,但是因朱砂的溶解性极差,使得中成药中汞的生物有效性极低,大部分并未被人体吸收。
      为了进一步验证服用含朱砂药物对人体健康的影响,将含有朱砂的同仁安神丸暴露于  Wistar模型大鼠,考察其对大鼠健康的影响。结果表明,在各个器官中,肾脏中汞的浓度最高,但是并未影响肾脏的氧化还原状态,肾功能也未受到影响,组织切片的结果进一步表明经同仁安神丸暴露后的大鼠肾脏没有明显的病理损伤。说明含有朱砂的药物虽然总汞的含量高,但是在推荐剂量下并不会对健康造成明显的影响。将暴露后的大鼠用旷场模型进行行为学评价,结果表明同仁安神丸及朱砂确实有显著的镇静作用。
      利用二维高效液相色谱技术(2D HPLC)对正常人体血浆中的蛋白进行了分离,同时通过电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)对蛋白中汞进行在线监测,发现了血浆中的一种汞结合蛋白,然后利用高效液相色谱-线性离子阱-傅里叶变换离子回旋共振质谱(HPLC-LTQ-FT)对该蛋白进行结构鉴定,经过与蛋白质标准谱库进行对比,表明该蛋白为人血清白蛋白(HSA)。利用等温滴定量热法(ITC)等方法对 Hg2+与HSA的相互作用进行表征,表明  Hg2+主要结合在HSA的 Cys34 上,且结合后会显著影响 HSA的二级结构。这一结果对汞的代谢过程及毒性机制研究具有重要意义。                                                                           
英文摘要      Due to their high  toxicity, persistence and long distance transformation,  mercury and mercuric  compounds are considered  as typical persistent  toxic substances  (PTS)now. As a constituent element of the earth, mercury occurs naturally in the environment and exists in all the matrices. As we all known, the toxicity of mercuric compounds are closely related to their species and concentrations, and the  toxicity of organic mercury species, especially  methylmercury, are quite  higher than the  elemental and inorganic mercury.  Inorganic   mercury  could   be  methylated  in   some  biotic   (by  microbial metabolism) or  abiotic (do not involve  living organisms) processes,  and then be  bio-magnified in the food chain, resulting in high concentrations in fish and mammals and health risk to human beings. So far, the precise mechanisms of metabolism and toxicity of mercury are still  unknown. This work mainly focused on the  studies on speciation,bioavailability of mercury and the mercury-binding protein.
      An   extraction  procedure   for  extracting   organic   mercury  species   including methylmercury  (MeHg)   and  ethylmercury   (EtHg)  from   petroleum  samples   was developed.  Three  extraction  methods  (shaking,  ultrasonic  and  microwave  assisted extraction) using different extraction solvents (TMAH, KOH/CH3OH, HCl and acidic CuSO4/KBr) were investigated  by comparing the extraction  efficiency of the organic mercury  species.  Microwave assisted  extraction  at  60  W  for 5  min  using  TMAH
(tetramethylammonium hydroxide, 25%, m/v) provided the most satisfactory extraction
efficiency for  MeHg  and EtHg  in  petroleum at  86.7%  ± 3.4%  and 70.6%  ±  5.9%,
respectively.  Speciation analysis  of  mercury was  done  by on-line  coupling  of high
performance liquid  chromatography with  cold vapor  generation atomic  fluorescence
spectrometry  (HPLC-CV-AFS).  The proposed  method  was  successfully  applied  to
analyze several  crude oil  and light oil  samples. The concentrations  of MeHg  ranged
from  under detection  limit  to  0.515 ng  g-1  ,  whereas  EtHg was  not  detected in  the
samples.  This method  can  be  a very  useful  tool in  evaluating  the risk  of  mercury emission from petroleum.
      Mercury, mainly in cinnabar species, has been used in  medicine for the treatment of diseases for thousands of years in  China. The bioavailability of mercury in Chinese patent medicines (CPMs) was  assessed by using a simulated digestion  extraction test. The levels of  total mercury in sixteen CPMs  ranged from not detected  to 11.9 mg g-1
with a mean value of 1.1 mg g-1, while the extractable mercury ranged from not detected
. Mercury  bioavailability variedto 4373.6  ng g -1  , with a  mean value  of 417.2  ng g-1
depending on the type of medicine analyzed. Mercury solubility in the gastrointestinal
supernatants  was  quite  lower  in   cinnabar-containing  medicines  (0.037%)  than  in
ordinary  medicines  without  cinnabar (2.5%  -  31%).  Human  health  risk  by  taking
Chinese patent medicine was accessed by the results of simulated digestion extraction.
       In  order to  further  investigate the  potential  health risk  by  taking the  cinnabar containing Chinese patent medicines, Tong Ren An Shen Wan (TRASW) was exposed to Wistar mice, and then the  effects about the medicine was studied. The  data showed that the amount of  mercury in the mice tissues  increased after intake of TRASW,  and the  highest concentration of mercury was found in the kidney. But the redox state of the kidney was well  balanced, and the  kidney function was  not damaged compared  with the negative control. Obvious injury was  not found in the HE slide of kindey  exposed to TRASW. All  the results of the  in-vivo experiments showed  that the recommended dose of TRASW  would not injure  kidney. Open-field test indicated  that the TRASW and cinnabar had obvious sedation effects.
      Characterization of mercury  binding protein in human body  is very important to understand the metabolism  and the mechanism of  toxication of the ingested mercuric compounds.  In  this  study,  the   mercury-containing  protein  in  human  plasma  was separated   by    on-line   heart-cutting    two-dimensional   high    performance   liquid chromatography (2D-HPLC)  system. This 2D  separation system  used size  exclusion liquid chromatography (SEC) followed by weak anion exchange liquid chromatography (WAX) and the two LC parts were coupled by a six-port valve equipped with a storage loop and controlled by the computer. The WAX effluent was determined by both a UV detector and  inductively  coupled plasma-mass  spectrometry (ICP-MS)  to  locate the mercury-containing protein. Unique mercury-containing protein fraction was obtained from 2D-HPLC separation  and subsequently identified  by HPLC coupled with  linear ion trap-Fourier  transform ion  cyclotron resonance  mass spectrometry  (HPLC-LTQ-FT). The database search confirmed that  the mercury-containing protein in the human plasma  is  human  serum  albumin  (HSA).  The  stoichiometry  and  thermodynamics interaction of inorganic  mercury (Hg2+ ) with HSA was studied by  isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and two binding types were observed. Mercury-containing protein in the human plasma was separated and identified in the present study and  it is important to understand the metabolism of mercury in the human body.
