The study assessed histological, biochemical, oxidative stress, and molecular parameters to evaluate the consequences of Chlorpyrifos and Dimethoate exposure on uterine health in female rats. Despite showing no obvious signs of toxicity apart from minor clinical symptoms in DM-exposed rats, both pesticides caused degenerative changes in uterine tissue. This study demonstrates that pesticides induce inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in rats, by NF-κB activation and altering antioxidant enzyme levels. Besides, CPF and DM exposure disrupted gene expression of HOXA10, HOXA11, and WNT and reduced activation of β-catenin in the uterus, which is crucial for implantation and reproductive function. These findings suggest that pesticide exposure may impair reproductive health and fertility in females, highlighting potential implications for human health.

Article Synopsis
- A hospital-based study in Hyderabad, India examined the link between pesticide exposure and the levels of a cancer-associated biomarker (8-OHdG) in farmers and non-farmers with different types of cancers.
- The research revealed that farmers with leukemia had higher pesticide residue levels in their blood compared to those with lymphoma and breast cancer, while non-farmers and healthy individuals showed no such residues.
- The findings highlighted a significant correlation between one specific pesticide (profenofos) and elevated 8-OHdG levels, indicating a need for further research to explore these associations in larger groups.

Division of Toxicology, Wageningen University and Research, Stippeneng 4, 6708 WE Wageningen, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the development of a generic physiologically based kinetic (PBK) model for assessing the effects of organophosphate (OP) pesticides on both rats and humans.
- It utilizes data from existing studies and quantitative structure property relationships to evaluate how well the model predicts the absorption and toxicity of various OP compounds, showing high accuracy in most cases.
- The findings suggest this PBK model can be a valuable tool for next generation risk assessment (NGRA) of OP pesticides and potentially be adapted for other chemical classes.

White mango scale (WMS) Aulacaspis tubercularis Newstead (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is a polyphagous armored scale insect which is considered one of the key pests of mango (Mangifera indica L.) around the world. Mango is widely grown in Ethiopia whereas its production is challenged by WMS in the last decade.
