Molecular Impact of Sublethal Spinetoram Exposure on Honeybee () Larval and Adult Transcriptomes.

Pesticide toxicity is a global concern for honeybee populations, and understanding these effects at the molecular level is critical. This study analyzed the transcriptome of honeybees at larval and adult stages after chronic exposure to a sublethal dose (0.0017 µg a.

Assessment of Lambda-Cyhalothrin and Spinetoram Toxicity and Their Effects on the Activities of Antioxidant Enzymes and Acetylcholinesterase in Honey Bee () Larvae.

Honeybees play a crucial role as agricultural pollinators and are frequently exposed to various pollutants, including pesticides. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the toxicity of lambda-cyhalothrin (LCY) and spinetoram (SPI) in honey bee larvae reared in vitro through single (acute) and repeated (chronic) exposure. The acute LD values for LCY and SPI were 0.

Transcriptome Profiling of Etridiazole-Exposed Zebrafish () Embryos Reveals Pathways Associated with Cardiac and Ocular Toxicities.

Etridiazole (EDZ) is a thiadiazole-containing fungicide commonly used to control and spp. Although previous studies have shown that EDZ is teratogenic, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying its toxicity remain unknown. In this study, a zebrafish (; ZF) model was used to explore the molecular pathways associated with EDZ toxicity.

Spirulina consumption effectively reduces anti-inflammatory and pain related infectious diseases.

Background: Inflammation and pain triggers several pathological illnesses. Synthetic drugs used for the controlling of inflammatory conditions convey significant toxic effects. Global scientific community continually attempt to improve effective, economic and harmless naturally derived remedies against inflammation and pain.

Oligonol, a low-molecular-weight polyphenol derived from lychee peel, attenuates diabetes-induced pancreatic damage by inhibiting inflammatory responses via oxidative stress-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor-kappa B signaling.

This study investigated the effects of oligonol, a low-molecular-polyphenol derived from lychee peel, against diabetes-induced pancreatic damage via oxidative stress-induced inflammation. Oligonol was orally administered at 10 or 20 mg/kg body weight/day for 10 days to streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, and the rats were compared with nondiabetic and diabetic control rats. The diabetic rats showed loss of body weight and increased pancreatic weight, and the oral administration of oligonol attenuated these parameters.

In vitro assessments of bone microcomputed tomography in an aged male rat model supplemented with .

Recent research has confirmed that () has effect on cultured osteoblast of the mouse. In this study we aim to validate the usefulness of tibia quantification by correlating micro-computed tomographic (microCT) images with histology analysis in the aged male rats. A total of thirty - old male WISTAR rats were used and divided into ten 8 weeks rats and ten 112 weeks aged rats with vehicle and ten 112 weeks aged rats with (300 mg/kg/day).

Effects of on the nerve growth factor expression in testosterone induced benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The prostatic hyperplasia in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) leads to obstructive micturition symptoms. Previous studies showed that pontine micturition center (PMC), ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG), and medial preopticnucleus (MPA) regions in the brain have been known to regulate the urinary bladder function. The present study shows the influences of on nerve growth factor (NGF) expressions in PMC, vlPAG, and MPA regions in the brain.

The Effect of Fungicides on Mycelial Growth and Conidial Germination of the Ginseng Root Rot Fungus, .

Ginseng root rot caused by is the most destructive disease of ginseng. Six different fungicides (thiophanate-methyl, benomyl, prochloraz, mancozeb, azoxystrobin, and iprodione) were selected to evaluate the inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth and conidial germination of isolates. Benomyl and prochloraz were found to be the most effective fungicides in inhibiting mycelial growth of all tested isolates, showing 64.

Comparison of sample preparation methods for the recovery of foodborne pathogens from fresh produce.

Sample preparation methods (pummeling, pulsifying, sonication, and shaking by hand) were compared for achieving maximum recovery of foodborne pathogens from iceberg lettuce, perilla leaves, cucumber, green pepper, and cherry tomato. Antimicrobial and dehydration effects also were examined to investigate causes of poor recovery of pathogens. Each produce type was inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus at 6.

Combination treatment using bipolar radiofrequency-based intense pulsed light, infrared light and diode laser enhanced clinical effectiveness and histological dermal remodeling in Asian photoaged skin.

Background: Combined optical and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) devices have been effective for rejuvenation, but a single modality in one session cannot solve three-dimensional skin complaints, resulting in time-consuming visits.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-session triple treatment using bipolar RF-based optical (intense pulsed light [IPL], infrared light, and diode laser) combination devices for treatment of photoaged Asian skin.

Materials And Methods: In a split-face trial, 11 women received four treatments at 3-week intervals consisting of the combination of sequential IPL, infrared light, and diode laser, all with RF, in one session.
