This study increases our understanding of how diet-driven phenotypic plasticity can help non-target aquatic invertebrates deal with chlorpyrifos (CPO) exposure. A bioassay was performed over 6 days with the freshwater shrimp Macrobrachium borellii. Experimental treatments included CPO-treated shrimps (10 μg L) were fed with (i) a lipid-rich diet, (ii) a lipid-medium diet, or (iii) a lipid-poor diet. Control shrimps (no CPO exposure) received the same diets as detailed above. Cholinesterases and carboxylesterases were determined as an indicator of CPO exposure. Results showed that diets with a medium-to-high lipid content were important inducers of esterase activity, while shrimps exposed to CPO under a lipid-poor diet showed a significant enzymatic inhibition. This diet-dependent esterase induction suggests that the intake of fatty dietary items mitigates the esterase enzyme inhibition caused by CPO exposure.

Infectious Agents and Cancer journal has recently launched a new collection of papers about "Point-of-Care (POC) for HPV-related genital cancers" putting together some interesting works on the accuracy of HPV tests for screening. This editorial initiative gave us the opportunity to reflect on the relations between accuracy measures, prevalence and characteristics of the tested population in the case of HPV-based screening. In screening test evaluation, we look at the clinical accuracy of the test as an intrinsic characteristic of the assay, which interacts with the characteristics of the population, the result being the screening performance.

Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on the relationship between long-term dietary mycotoxin exposure and hepatobiliary cancers in the EPIC cohort, using detailed food occurrence data to assess risks.
- * Findings indicated a significant link between higher intake of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) and hepatocellular carcinoma risk, suggesting further research is needed on mycotoxins and their potential health impacts.

In the completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process, the conflicting oxygen requirements of anammox and ammonium-oxidizing bacteria often lead to retardation in anammox activity. However, our study achieved stable nitrogen removal with a maximum capacity of 1096 g-N/m/d in a 20 m CANON reactor under long-term intensive aeration. The anammox bacteria unusually distributed in the outer layer of the biofilm and demonstrated remarkable oxygen tolerance.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the organophosphorus pesticides widely used throughout the world. Epidemiological studies suggested a link between CPF exposure and neurologic disorders, while the molecular mechanisms remain inconclusive. In the present study, we investigated the impacts of chlorpyrifos-oxon (CPO), the major toxic CPF metabolite, on cell apoptosis, and explored possible mechanism associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in SH-SY5Y cells.

HPV-positive and HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are recognized as distinct entities. There remains uncertainty surrounding the causal effects of smoking and alcohol on the development of these two cancer types. Here we perform multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR) to evaluate the causal effects of smoking and alcohol on the risk of HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSCC in 3431 cases and 3469 controls.
