Molinate is classified as a thiocarbamate herbicide and is mainly used in paddy fields to culture rice. However, the toxic effects of molinate and the associated mechanisms in the process of development have not been completely elucidated. Therefore, in the present study, we demonstrated that molinate reduced the viability of zebrafish larvae and the probability of successful hatching using zebrafish (Danio rerio), one of the remarkable in vivo models for testing the toxicity of chemicals. In addition, molinate treatment triggered the occurrence of apoptosis, inflammation, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response in zebrafish larvae. Furthermore, we identified that an abnormal cardiovascular phenotype through wild type zebrafish, neuronal defects through transgenic olig2:dsRed zebrafish, and developmental toxicity in the liver through transgenic lfabp:dsRed zebrafish. Collectively, these results provide evidence of the hazardous effects of molinate on the developmental stage of non-target organisms by elucidating the toxic mechanisms of molinate in developing zebrafish.

Background: Preeclampsia, characterized by hypertension and proteinuria during pregnancy, poses significant risks to both mother and fetus. The complement system's aberrant activation, notably the C3AR1, is important to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, although the precise mechanisms are not fully understood.
Materials And Methods: Utilizing the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) and Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB), we identified complement system targets associated with preeclampsia and environmental pollutants.

Aim: Long-term exposure to excess sodium fluoride (NaF) can cause chronic fluorosis. Liver, the most important detoxification organ, is the most vulnerable to the effects of fluoride. Sodium butyrate (NaB), a short-chain fatty acid produced in the intestinal tract, maintains normal mitochondrial function in vivo and reduces liver inflammation and oxidative stress.

Background: Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), traditionally recognized for its hepatoprotective effects, has also shown potential in protecting kidney injury. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of UDCA against sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Sixty male C57BL/6 N mice were utilized to establish a sepsis-induced AKI model through intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS, 10 mg/kg).

Nanoplastic (NP) pollution poses serious health hazards to aquatic ecosystems, impacting various physiological systems of aquatic organisms. This review examines the complex interplay between NPs and different physiological systems. In the digestive system, NPs downregulate the hsp70-like gene in Mytilus galloprovincialis, leading to decreased metabolic processes and impaired digestion.

S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9, also known as calgranulin B) is expressed and secreted by myeloid cells under inflammatory conditions, and S100A9 can amplify inflammation. There is a large increase in S100A9 expression in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, and S100A9 has been suggested to contribute to neurodegeneration, but the mechanisms are unclear. Here we investigated the effects of extracellular recombinant S100A9 protein on microglia, neurons and synapses in primary rat brain neuronal-glial cell cultures.
