Evaluation of cholinesterase level in workers exposed to organophosphates
Background: Organophosphates use in agriculture and concern about their effects on human is increasing. This study was conducted to investigate the activity of blood cholinesterase in sprayers.

Neurotrophic factors control neural cell differentiation and assembly of neural circuits. We previously showed that organophosphate pesticides differentially regulate members of the fibroblast growth factor (fgf) gene family. We administered chlorpyrifos

Glucocorticoids modulate drug transporter function in human fetal brain endothelial cells
Abstract figure legend P‐glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein are the most prominent drug transporters at the fetal blood–brain barrier. We isolated primary human fetal brain endothelial cells from early and mid‐gestation cerebral microvessels and exposed them to glucocorticoids cortisol and dexamethasone in vitro.

Rational design of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) for the efficient hydrolysis of organophosphates
A rational design of paraoxonase 1 based on molecular docking discovered H115W/T332S and I74F/H115W/T332S mutants exhibited a 40-fold increase in catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K-m) toward the hydrolysis of two toxic and popular organophosphates (diethyl ...

Targeting the symbiont Candidatus Pantoea carbekii offers a novel way to manage the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). Among the three commercial bio‐products tested, Dentamet significantly reduced symbiont acquisition and caused up to 75% nymphal mortality in laboratory conditions, which was confirmed by quantitative Real‐Time ...

Intramolecular (RO)2PO→Halogen interaction versus intermolecular (RO)2PO···HOH hydrogen bonds. Although the O···I distance is shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of the atoms involved, there is no covalency involved in this interaction.

Cartoon representation of five major classes of metalloproteins and their brief mechanisms of bioremediation. The five classes include metallothioneins, metal‐precipitating enzymes, P.‐type ATPases, protein cages, and synthetic metalloproteins (de novo‐designed proteins/peptides for selective adsorption). These natural and engineered protein structures

Thiosemicarbazones generally show higher MAO‐B inhibitory potential than their corresponding semicarbazones, and particularly T6 is the most potent, which contains R = H and X = S in its Tail Unit, with an IC50 value of 6.45 µM with SI of 3.6. ABSTRACT Twenty semicarbazone and thiosemicarbazone derivatives (T1–T20) were synthesized and evaluated for ...

ABSTRACT Hemolacria is a rare condition characterized by bloody tears. Its etiology is often multifactorial, but functional/psychosomatic mechanisms have been proposed when organic causes are excluded. A 48‐year‐old woman with a history of multiple traumatic brain injuries (coma in 2008, car accident in 2017) presented with refractory generalized ...
