Objectives: To provide toxicokinetic and clinical evidence of the hydrolytic effect of paraoxonase-1 (PON1) on acute organophosphate poisoning in rats.
Methods: 40 male Wistar rats were randomised into four equal groups. Dichlorvos administration group (A group) underwent dichlorvos injection (dissolved in corn oil) using intraperitoneal (ip) dose of 10 mg/kg. PON1 pretreatment group (B group) was injected with PON1 in the tail vein (intravenous), dose 9600 U/kg, 30 min prior to dichlorvos administration. In the treatment group (C group), atropine 0.05 mg/kg and pyraloxime chloride (PAM-CI) 120 mg/kg were injected intravenously within 2 min after dichlorvos administration. Finally, in the co-treatment group (D group), PON1 was injected intravenously with a dose of 9000 U/kg 30 min prior to dichlorvos administration; atropine 0.05 mg/kg and PAM-CI 120 mg/kg were injected intravenously within 2 min after dichlorvos administration. Blood was collected after administration. Plasma dichlorvos concentration was detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectra (LC-MS) method and clinical signs were observed. Toxicokinetic parameters were calculated in a statistical moment model.
Results: AUC (0→∞) in group B was statistically different from that in groups A and C (p<0.05), while it was not different from group D (p>0.05); there was no statistical difference between group A and group C (p>0.05). The statistical results of Cmax were the same as those of AUC (0→∞). There were no differences of MRT between four groups (p>0.05). Clinical signs can be improved by PON1 and atropine + PAM-CI, and co-treatment can relieve signs more effectively.
Conclusion: PON1 can decrease the amount of dichlorvos that entered the blood, lowered the peak concentration and relieved clinical signs.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated how CCFM8661, a type of bacteria, can reduce the toxicity of dichlorvos (DDVP), a common agricultural pesticide that can harm living organisms through the food chain.
- - Male mice were divided into five groups to test various doses of CCFM8661, with researchers measuring effects on body weight, biochemical markers of oxidative stress and inflammation, and pesticide residue levels.
- - Results showed that CCFM8661 significantly improved mice's health by increasing body weight and beneficial enzyme activities while simultaneously reducing harmful substances related to DDVP exposure, suggesting probiotics like CCFM8661 may help protect against pesticide damage.

Current researches on pesticides in wetlands are limited in terms of screening and quantification of many types of pesticides. Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics, distribution patterns, and environmental risks of pesticides in multiple media is important for wetland ecological conservation. In this study, 222 pesticides were determined in multimedia samples collected simultaneously from the Songhua Wetland during four seasons.

Objective: To investigate the distribution and exposure levels of pesticides in raw water and drinking water in China, as well as to assess the potential health risks associated with long-term consumption.
Methods: A total of 83 typical water plants were selected in key river basins in China to collected samples of the raw water, finished water, and tap water. The online-solid phase extraction coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was used to determine 13 pesticides, including acetochlor, atrazine, dimethoate, malathion, carbofuran, dichlorvos, chlorpyrifos, parathion, trifluralin, isoprothiolane, simetryn, methyl parathion, and metalaxyl, as well as 6 environmental metabolites, including carbendazim, malaoxon, 3-hydroxycarbofuran, deethyl atrazine, deisopropyl atrazine and hydroxy atrazine.

Dichlorvos is an organophosphate pesticide that is commonly used for agricultural and domestic control of pests and insects. Despite its usefulness, it exerts reproductive toxicity and induces male sexual dysfunction. On the other hand, curcumin has been reported to improve sexual dysfunction.

Article Synopsis
- * The study identified 333 CECs in rivers and 352 in WWTPs, with pharmaceuticals and pesticides prevalent; high concentrations were found for compounds like caffeine and saccharin.
- * Risk assessments revealed crustaceans at the highest toxicity risk due to compounds like diazinon, indicating significant environmental and potential human health concerns tied to CECs in water sources.
