Overexpression of carboxyl/cholinesterase (CCE) genes has been reported to be associated with many cases of pesticide resistance in arthropods. However, it has been rarely documented that genes participate in spirodiclofen resistance in . In previous research, we found that spirodiclofen resistance is related to increased P450 and CCE enzyme activities in .

Selection of chemical-resistant predatory mites is a good alternative to balance the contradiction between chemical control and biological control. Previously, a resistant strain of Neoseiulus barkeri for chlorpyrifos was obtained. In the current study, two up-regulated (NbCYP3A6, NbCYP3A16) and one down-regulated (NbCYP3A24) P450s were screened through differential expression analysis and other detoxification-related genes such as CCEs, GST, etc.

Insecticide susceptibility is mainly determined by the insect host, but symbiotic bacteria are also an important affecting factor. In this study, we investigate the relationship between the structure of gut bacterial symbionts and insecticide susceptibility in , the important carrier of Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), the causal agent of Huanglongbing (HLB). Our results indicated that antibiotic treatment significantly increased the susceptibility of to bifenthrin and thiamethoxam, and significantly decreased the relative abundance of and Profftella, enzyme activities of CarEs, and expression level of multiple CarE genes.

The citrus red mite, Panonychus citri, is one of the most notorious and devastating citrus pests around the world that has developed resistance to multiple chemical acaricides. In previous research, we found that spirodiclofen-resistant is related to overexpression of P450, CCE, and ABC transporter genes in P. citri.

The progression of liver fibrosis is determined by the interaction of damaged hepatocytes, active hepatic stellate cells, and macrophages, contributing to the development of oxidative stress and inflammatory environments within the liver. Unfortunately, the current pharmacological treatment for liver fibrosis is limited by its inability to regulate inflammation and oxidative stress concurrently. In this study, we developed a cell membrane biomaterial for the treatment of liver fibrosis, which we designated as PM.

Panonychus citri (McGregor) strains have developed a high level of resistance to abamectin, but the underlying molecular mechanism is unknown. Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are critical for the removal of a variety of exogenous and endogenous substances. In this study, an enzyme activity assay revealed that UGTs potentially contribute to P.

A novel metal-organic framework (MOF) Zn-PBC (HPBC = pyridine-3,5-bis(phenyl-4-carboxylic acid)) was designed and synthesized a solvothermal reaction with the HPBC ligand, and produced a strong fluorescence. The material exhibited good stability and an ideal luminescent property in water. In addition, it was found that Zn-PBC displayed a different fluorescent response to different types of amino acids, and the mechanism was investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • Huanglongbing (HLB) is a major citrus disease causing significant economic losses, and its severity is linked to the health of associated phytobiomes.
  • Researchers created advanced models using data from citrus samples across six continents to forecast HLB outbreaks, revealing distinct microbiome differences between infected and healthy plants.
  • Machine learning models, particularly those using specific bacterial markers, achieved nearly 100% accuracy in predicting citrus health, highlighting the potential of these biomarkers for early disease detection.

A single treatment strategy to produce a significant effect on cancer treatment is difficult due to the complex variability of the tumor environment. Herein, considering over-expressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor environment can reduce Mn to Mn, and Mn exhibits an excellent -weighted magnetic resonance imaging performance and a good Fenton-like effect. A Mn-based nano-cation metal-organic framework (MOF) with a size of about 200 nm was synthesized and labeled as Nano Mn(III)-TP.

  • Amitraz is an insecticide used to control pests like aphids and ticks, but resistance to it has developed, especially in ticks and mites like Panonychus citri.
  • Researchers sequenced the entire genome of P. citri, identifying 11,577 genes, and found a significant mutation (T752C) at the 5' untranslated region of the β-2R adrenergic-like octopamine receptor, which is linked to resistance.
  • The study concludes that this specific genetic mutation plays a key role in P. citri's resistance to amitraz, highlighting how genetic changes can influence pest susceptibility to pesticides.

A biocompatible Y(III)-based metal-organic framework [Y(TATB)]·(DMF)·(HO) (ZJU-16, HTATB= 4,4',4''-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl) tribenzoic acid) was synthesized, and it was adopted to load Mn for chemodynamic therapy. Meanwhile, ibuprofen sodium (IBUNa), an anti-inflammatory drug, was introduced to increase the amount of Mn (about 5.66 wt %) due to the low loading capacity of Mn.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates risk factors related to N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) and their association with esophageal cancer in different regions of southern China, specifically comparing high-risk (Nanao County) and low-risk (Lufeng County) areas.
  • Researchers collected diet and urine samples from 120 healthy males and measured various NOC levels, including total NOC and N-nitrosamino acids (NAAs), while analyzing factors influencing their formation and inhibition.
  • The findings indicate that higher dietary total NOC and lower inhibition of NOC formation by vitamin C are significant risk factors for esophageal cancer in the studied populations.
