Several studies have reported the effects of atrazine on the gonads of many experimental models. However, the short-term effects of in vivo exposure to atrazine on the testes of mice are not well clarified. Here we reported that adult BalB/c mice exposed to atrazine (50 mg kg-1 body weight) by gavage for three consecutive days have reduced numbers of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase positive Leydig cells (LCs), associated with increased in situ cell death fluorescence and caspase-3 immuno-expression in the testes. Consequently, immunostaining for cell cycle gene regulators showed increased expressions of p45, accompanied with increased expressions of cyclin D2 and E2. Histological observations of the gonads showed reduced number of germ cells in particular areas, sloughed seminiferous epithelium, presence of giant apoptotic cells close to the seminiferous tubule lumen and in the epididymal lumen along with low numbers of Leydig cells in the testicular interstitial areas. Similarly, LCs isolated from the testes of BalB/c mice that were exposed to atrazine (0.5, 25, 50 mg kg-1 body weight) in the same manner as in the first experiment presented dose-dependent increased caspase-3 activity, decreased cell viability, intratesticular and serum testosterone concentrations and LCs testosterone secretion. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/z-vad(oh)-fmk.html In summary, atrazine appears to directly decrease the number of testosterone secreting LCs in mice through apoptosis.This paper aimed to systemically investigate the role of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC transporters) in the detoxification of non-substrate nanoparticles including titanium dioxide (n-TiO2, 5-10 nm) and gold (AuNPs, 3 nm, 15 nm, and 80 nm, named as Au-3, Au-15 and Au-80) in human lung cancer (A549) and human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells. All these nanoparticles were of larger hydrophilic diameters than the channel sizes of ABC transporters, thus should not be the substrates of membrane proteins. After 24-h treatment, they induced significant cytotoxicity as reflected by the reduction in cell viability and glutathione (GSH) contents, as well as the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. At median-lethal concentrations (10 mg/L n-TiO2, 2 mg/L Au-3, 5 mg/L Au-15, and 10 mg/L Au-80 for A549 cells; 20 mg/L n-TiO2, 2 mg/L Au-3, 5 mg/L Au-15, and 10 mg/L Au-80 for Hela cells), all the nanoparticles significantly induced the gene expressions and activities of ABC transporters including P-glycoprotein (PGP) and multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1). Addition of transporter inhibitors enhanced the ROS levels produced by nanoparticles, but didn't alter their death-inducing effects and intracellular accumulations. With specific suppressors, transcription factors like nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (NRF2) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) were proved to be important in the induction of ABC transporters by nanoparticles. After all, this paper revealed a damage-dependent modulation of ABC transporters by non-substrate nanoparticles. The up-regulated ABC transporters could help in reducing the oxidative stress produced by nanoparticles. Such information should be useful in assessing the environmental risk of nanoparticles, as well as their interactions with other chemical toxicants or drugs.We report a case of Rosai-Dorfman disease in a 28-year-old Nigerian woman with a 7-year history of painless prominent bilateral neck swelling which waxed and waned over the years. She had two misdiagnosis hence appropriate therapy was not initiated over the years. She was eventually referred for independent opinion and was diagnosed correctly with review of the histology sections and with the use of CD45, S100, CD 68, CD 15, CD 20, synaptophysin and AE1/AE3 immunohistochemistry markers. Classic features on Haematoxylin and eosin stained sections and positivity of the lesional cells for S100 and CD68 were diagnostic of Rosai-Dorfman disease. She was subsequently placed on oral steroids with minimal objective reduction in the neck circumference from 57 to 46 cm. After two months, she was managed with three courses of chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine and prednisolone) which resulted to a significant sustained reduction in her neck circumference to 36 cm. She has been on follow up for about a year without a recurrence. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific syndrome caused by abnormal placentation. Although environmental chemicals, including some pesticides, are suspected of impairing placentation and promoting preeclampsia, its relationship with preeclampsia has been insufficiently explored. We aimed to investigate the relation between non-occupational exposure to pesticides during pregnancy and the risk of preeclampsia. The study cohort comprised 195 women with and 17,181 without preeclampsia from the ELFE birth cohort. We used toxicogenomic approaches to select 41 pesticides of interest for their possible influence on preeclampsia. We assessed household pesticide use (self-reported data), environmental exposure to agricultural pesticides (geographic information systems), and dietary exposure (food-frequency questionnaire with data from monitoring pesticide residues in food and water). Dietary exposures to pesticides were grouped into clusters of similar exposures to resolve collinearity issues. For each exposure sourchloraz and some herbicides. These estimations are supported by toxicological and mechanistic data. While the most of the associations examined remained statistically non-significant, our results suggest the possible influence on preeclampsia of residential exposures to prochloraz and some herbicides. These estimations are supported by toxicological and mechanistic data.In the last decade, many malaria-endemic countries, like Zambia, have achieved significant reductions in malaria incidence among children less then 5 years old but face ongoing challenges in achieving similar progress against malaria in older age groups. In parts of Zambia, changing climatic and environmental factors are among those suspectedly behind high malaria incidence. Changes and variations in these factors potentially interfere with intervention program effectiveness and alter the distribution and incidence patterns of malaria differentially between young children and the rest of the population. We used parametric and non-parametric statistics to model the effects of climatic and socio-demographic variables on age-specific malaria incidence vis-à-vis control interventions. Linear regressions, mixed models, and Mann-Kendall tests were implemented to explore trends, changes in trends, and regress malaria incidence against environmental and intervention variables. Our study shows that while climate parameters affect the whole population, their impacts are felt most by people aged ≥5 years.
