This study analyzes the level of total and bound pirimiphos-methyl residues in treated wheat grain and its toxic effects on rats. Wheat grain was treated with [14C]pirimiphos-methyl of 16.36 mCi/mmol specific activity to determine the bioavailability of bound residues in rats. At the same time, grain was treated with nonlabeled pirimiphos-methyl as required to determine any possible toxic effects of bound residues in a subacute feeding study in rats. Two dose levels were used: 10 and 100 ppm (the former being the recommended dose level in practical treatment). Estimation of the type of residues was performed at intervals of 0, 30, 90, 120, 150, and 180 days. During and after the animal feeding study, changes in body weight gain, organ weight, cholinesterase activity, serum enzyme activity, and hematology were investigated. There is an indication that bound residues of the pesticide pirimiphos-methyl provoke toxic effects to some extent.

Stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis) is a tropical legume that exhibits considerable tolerance to manganese (Mn) toxicity, which severely constrains plant growth in acidic soils. To elucidate the Mn detoxification mechanisms in stylo, this study investigated the excess Mn-regulated metabolic profile of stylo roots and examined the role of metabolic enzymes in Mn tolerance. Excess Mn triggered oxidative stress in the two stylo genotypes tested.

We conducted a randomized phase II trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of dual-HER2 inhibition against standard-of-care anti-EGFR antibody-based therapy as second/third-line treatment in HER2-positive mCRC.
Methods: Patients with -WT mCRC after central confirmation of HER2 positivity (immunohistochemistry 3+ or 2+ and in situ hybridization amplified [HER2/CEP17 ratio >2.

Human papillomavirus 16 and human papillomavirus 18 have been associated with different life-threatening cancers, including cervical, lung, penal, vulval, vaginal, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers, while cervical cancer is the most prominent one. Several research studies have suggested that the oncoproteins E6 and E7 are the leading cause of cancers associated with the human papillomavirus infection. Therefore, we developed two mRNA vaccines (V1 and V2) targeting these oncoproteins.

Multi-targeted therapies are gaining attention in the management of multifactorial diseases due to their poly pharmacology, enhanced potency and reduced toxicity. Metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity necessitate multi-targeted therapy to improve insulin sensitivity, regulate glucose homeostasis and support weight loss. Medicinal plants rich in bioactive compounds exhibit multi-targetted action with minimal side effects.

Technology-critical elements (TCEs), essential in emerging technologies, are increasingly finding their way into our environment, raising concerns about their sparsely studied behavior and toxicity. To contribute insights into the toxicological aspects, we employed bioassays to investigate the possible cytotoxic effects in four representative cell lines (AR-EcoScreen GR-KO-M1, DR-EcoScreen, MCF7AREc32, VM7Luc4E2) and the potential to induce oxidative stress via the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway for a number of these elements. Nine TCEs, three rare-earth elements (REEs: Gd, Nd, Yb) and six less-studied TCEs (LSTCEs: Ga, Ge, In, Ta, Te, Tl), were selected for this study, along with three well-studied traditional metal contaminants (TMCs: As, Cd, Pb) for comparison.
