Renal tubular hyaline droplets developed in male and female F344 rats bearing a rat fibrosarcoma-derived transplantable tumor (SS). The droplets accumulated exclusively in the proximal renal tubular epithelia as eosinophilic granules of various sizes in hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections. The granules stained bright red with azan-Mallory stain. Immunohistochemically, the droplets were positive for lysozyme to various degrees but were negative for alpha 2u-globulin, albumin, and alpha 1-antitrypsin. These findings indicated the involvement of lysozyme, a low-molecular-weight protein, in the droplet formation. The morphological and immunohistochemical findings of the hyaline droplets bore a close resemblance to those reported in rats as a secondary lesion to spontaneous histiocytic sarcomas. Others have speculated that renal tubular hyaline droplets in histiocytic sarcoma-bearing rats are formed in lysosomes through cellular overload of lysozyme secreted excessively by the tumor cells. However, neoplastic cells of SS tumors were negative to lysozyme. The pathogenesis of renal hyaline droplets appearing in SS tumor-bearing rats remains to be investigated.

Article Synopsis
- Spatholobus suberectus Dunn is a key medicinal plant in China, recognized as the sole source for the herbal medicine Spatholobi caulis in the China Pharmacopeia.
- In November 2023, a leaf disease affected 80% of plants in a plantation in Nanning, characterized by necrotic leaf tips with gray discoloration and brown margins.
- Researchers isolated 36 fungal pathogens from the symptomatic leaves, identifying one specific isolate, YY-3-S, with morphological traits of Diaporthe sp, followed by genetic sequencing for further identification.

Linalool oxide is frequently used as a flavoring agent, however, data on its toxicity is limited. In this study, we performed a 13-week subchronic toxicity study of linalool oxide (furanoid) in male and female Crl:CD(SD) rats. Doses of 0, 80, 250, and 800 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day were orally administered by gavage, using corn oil as the vehicle.

Pesticides are commonly used in agriculture and aquaculture. Triazophos, an organophosphate-based pesticide, is widely used in agriculture to control many insect pests. Due to its high photochemical stability and mode of action, Triazophos could persist in the aquatic ecosystem and cause toxic effects on non-target organisms.
