Changes in Anxiety-Related Behaviors, Voiding Patterns, and Urinary Bladder Contractile Properties in Male Mice Exposed to Water Avoidance Stress for 1 Day and 28 Days.

Repeated water avoidance stress (WAS) for 10 days is a common rodent model to mimic the effect of chronic psychological stress on urinary bladder dysfunction. However, it remains obscure whether changes in the stress exposure period impact urinary bladder impairment differently. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of 1 (acute), 10 (chronic), and 28 (prolonged) days of WAS on anxiety-related behavior, voiding pattern, urinary bladder mast cells, and bladder contractility in C57BL/6J male mice.

Histopathological Alterations in (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) after Exposure to .

The brown planthopper (BPH), (Stål, 1854) is a pest of rice plants worldwide. is a destructive entomopathogenic fungus known to attack leafhoppers or BPHs specifically. Live adult BPH samples were inoculated with isolated PSUC002, and their interaction was morpho-histologically examined from 0 to 120 h post-inoculation (pi).

Thermal stress-stimulated ZnO toxicity inhibits reproduction of freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna.

Elevated temperatures due to climate change pose a variety of environmental risks to the freshwater ecosystem. At the same time, zinc oxide (ZnO) has become widely used and has entered the freshwater environment. As thermal stress may potentially impact the physicochemical properties of ZnO, its toxicity to freshwater organisms in the face of global warming is poorly understood.
