Multifunctional nanoenzyme lateral flow immunoassay strip for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of carbofuran in vegetables. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 477:135296. [PMID: 39059293 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
A lateral flow immunoassay strip (LFIAS) is one of the most frequently rapid test technologies for carbofuran (CAR). Nevertheless, the LFIAS has a poor quantitative capability and low sensitivity. And, it also requires often complex sample handling steps, making testing time longer. In this study, Fe3O4 nanoparticles were successively modified with MIL-100(Fe)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) and chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate to obtain a core-shell complex of Fe3O4-MOF-Pt. The complex had a peroxidase-mimicking activity catalytic function that enabled signal amplification and sensitivity enhancement. Upon coupling with carbofuran monoclonal antibody (CAR-mAb), the magnetic separation properties of the probe enabled target-specific enrichment. The LFIAS based on Fe3O4-MOF-Pt nanocomposites could detect CAR in the range of 0.25-50 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.15 ng mL-1, enabling colorimetric and catalytic analysis. In addition, the method showed high specificity and stability for detecting CAR in various vegetables, and recovery rates of the spiked samples were 91.40%-102.40%. In conclusion, this study provided one-stop detection of "target enrichment-visual inspection". While lowering the LOD, it reduced the detection time and improved the detection efficiency. The multifunctional Fe3O4-MOF-Pt nanocomposite provides an idea for the construction of novel multifunctional probes to improve the detection performance of conventional LFIAS.

Abstract
Natural products of bee origin, despite their complex composition and difficulties in standardization, have been of high interest among scientists representing various disciplines from basic sciences to industrial and practical implementation. As long as their use is monitored and they do not impact human health, they can be considered valuable sources of many chemical compounds and are potentially useful in medicine, food processing, nutrition, etc. However, apart from honey, the general turnover of bee products lacks precise and detailed legal requirements ensuring their quality. The different residues in these products constitute a problem, which has been reported in numerous studies. All products derived from beekeeping are made by bees, but they are also influenced by the environment. Such a dual pathway requires detailed surveillance of hazards stemming from outside and inside the apiary. This should be ensured via harmonized requirements arising from the binding legal acts, especially in international and intercontinental trade zones.

Abstract
Bumblebees play a vital role in both natural and agricultural environments, but there has been a noticeable decline in their populations. Pesticides, particularly neonicotinoids, are widely regarded as a substantial contributing factor to the decline in bumblebee populations, as evidenced by the detrimental impacts documented across many stages of their life cycle. Mating is vital for the population maintenance of bumblebees. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of research conducted on the effects of pesticides on the mating process. In this study, we individually examined the impact of imidacloprid on the mating behavior of bumblebee males and queens. A competitive mating experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect on the competitive prowess of male individuals and the mate selection behavior of female individuals. The study revealed that the mating rate of bumblebees exposed to a concentration of 10 ppb of imidacloprid was 3 %. This finding demonstrated a statistically significant impact when compared to the control group, which exhibited a mating rate of 58 % in the normal mating experiment. Furthermore, in the competitive mating experiment, we found that the competitive mating success rate of treated males (1 %) was significantly lower than that of untreated males (35 %). Hence, it provides evidence that neonicotinoid imidacloprid negatively affects bumblebee mating success and cautions us to protect bumblebees from pesticide exposure to prevent a severe impact on their populations.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 201:105793. [PMID: 38685207 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2024.105793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Imidacloprid, chlorpyrifos, and glyphosate rank among the most extensively employed pesticides worldwide. The effects of these pesticides and their combined on the flight capability of Apis cerana, and the potential underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. To investigate these effects, we carried out flight mill, transcriptome, and metabolome experiments. Our findings reveal that individual acute oral treatments with pesticides, specifically 20 μL of 10 ng/g imidacloprid (0.2 ng per bee), 30 ng/g chlorpyrifos (0.6 ng per bee), and 60 ng/g glyphosate (1.2 ng per bee), did not impact the flight capability of the bees. However, when bees were exposed to a combination of two or three pesticides, a notable reduction in flight duration and distance was observed. In the transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses, we identified 307 transcripts and 17 metabolites that exhibited differential expression following exposure to combined pesticides, primarily associated with metabolic pathways involved in energy regulation. Our results illuminate the intricate effects and potential hazards posed by combined pesticide exposures on bee behavior. These findings offer valuable insights into the synergistic potential of pesticide combinations and their capacity to impair bee behavior. Understanding these complex interactions is essential for comprehending the broader consequences of pesticide formulations on honey bee populations.

Abstract
Honey bees are unintentionally exposed to a wide range of chemicals through various routes in their natural environment, yet research on the cumulative effects of multi-chemical and sublethal exposures on important caste members, including the queen bee and brood, is still in its infancy. The hive's social structure and food-sharing (trophallaxis) practices are important aspects to consider when identifying primary and secondary exposure pathways for residential hive members and possible chemical reservoirs within the colony. Secondary exposures may also occur through chemical transfer (maternal offloading) to the brood and by contact through possible chemical diffusion from wax cells to all hive members. The lack of research on peer-to-peer exposures to contaminants and their metabolites may be in part due to the limitations in sensitive analytical techniques for monitoring chemical fate and dispersion. Combined application of automated honey bee monitoring and modern chemical trace analysis techniques could offer rapid progress in quantifying chemical transfer and accumulation within the hive environment and developing effective mitigation strategies for toxic chemical co-exposures. To enhance the understanding of chemical fate and toxicity within the entire colony, it is crucial to consider both the intricate interactions among hive members and the potential synergistic effects arising from combinations of chemical and their metabolites.

Abstract
This paper reviews the published terminology, mathematical models, and the possible approaches used to characterise the risk of foodborne chemical hazards, particularly pesticides, metals, mycotoxins, acrylamide, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The results confirmed the wide variability of the nomenclature used, e.g., 28 different ways of referencing exposure, 13 of cancer risk, or 9 of slope factor. On the other hand, a total of 16 equations were identified to formulate all the risk characterisation parameters of interest. Therefore, the present study proposes a terminology and formulation for some risk characterisation parameters based on the guidelines of international organisations and the literature review. The mathematical model used for non-genotoxic hazards is a ratio in all cases. However, the authors used the probability of cancer or different ratios, such as the margin of exposure (MOE) for genotoxic hazards. For each effect studied per hazard, the non-genotoxic effect was mostly studied in pesticides (79.73%), the genotoxic effect was mostly studied in PAHs (71.15%), and both effects were mainly studied in metals (59.4%). The authors of the works reviewed generally opted for a deterministic approach, although most of those who assessed the risk for mycotoxins or the ratio and risk for acrylamide used the probabilistic approach.

Abstract
Pesticides are of immense importance in agriculture, but they might contaminate bees' products. In this study, samples of honey, pollen, and beeswax were collected, seasonally, from apiaries in Toshka (Aswan), El-Noubariya (El-Beheira), and Ismailia (Ismailia) cities in Egypt. The pesticide residues were analyzed using the GC-MS after being extracted and cleaned using the QuEChERS method. Results showed that samples from El-Noubariya had great content of residues followed by Ismailia, and finally Toshka. Samples collected during fall and winter had the highest pesticide residue contents. Specifically, the phenylconazole fungicide group was repeatedly detected in all the examined samples along with organophosphate insecticides. Beeswax samples had the greatest amounts of pesticide residues followed by pollen and then honey samples. Chlorpyrifos (0.07-39.16 ng/g) and profenofos (1.94-17.00 ng/g) were detected in honey samples and their products. Pyriproxyfen (57.12 ng/g) and chlorpyrifos-methyl (39.16 ng/g) were detected in great amounts in beeswax samples from Ismailia and El-Noubariya, respectively. Yet, according to health hazard and quotient studies, the amounts of pesticides detected in honey do not pose any health threats to humans.

Abstract
Aiming at the difficulty of traditional pesticide sampling, a low-cost and convenient flexible surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) gold core-silver shell-sponge (Au-Ag-sponge) substrate was synthesized by chemical reduction. The SERS substrate consisted of Au-AgNPs and a melamine sponge. The sponge had a rich open pore structure, which could well "capture" Au-AgNPs, generating a large number of "hot spots". The SERS enhancement activity of the flexible substrate was characterized with rhodamine 6G (R6G) Raman probe molecules. The substrate showed good activity to 10-12 M rhodamine 6G with an enhancement factor (EF) of 7.72 × 106. Applying this substrate to the qualitative and quantitative detection of pesticide residues, the results showed that the Raman intensity was well related to the concentration of pesticide solution with the range of 0.1-10 mg L-1 of thiram and 1-10 mg L-1 of diquat. Furthermore, the substrate was analyzed by finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation and the results were in good agreement with the experimental results. The reason for the difference in Raman signals of pesticide molecules on the same substrate was the different binding modes of Au-AgNPs on the sponge. Finally, we pointed out the advantages of flexible substrates in the field of pesticide residues, as well as future opportunities and challenges.

Abstract
Due to pollinator decline observed worldwide, many studies have been conducted on the pesticide residue content of apicultural products including bee bread, propolis, beeswax and royal jelly. These products are consumed for their nutraceutical properties, although, little information is available on the human health risk posed by pesticides present in them. In our research, studies dealing with the pesticide contamination of the above-mentioned hive products are reviewed. Dietary exposures were calculated based on the recommended daily intake values and concentration data reported by scientific studies. Potential acute and chronic health risk of consumers were evaluated by comparing the exposure values with health-based guidance values. Available data indicate that a wide range of pesticide residues, especially acaricides may accumulate in bee bread, propolis and beeswax, up to concentration levels of more thousand μg/kg. Based on our observations, tau-fluvalinate, coumaphos, chlorfenvinphos, chlorpyrifos and amitraz are commonly detected pesticide active substances in beehive products. Our estimates suggest that coumaphos and chlorfenvinphos can accumulate in beeswax to an extent that pose a potential health risk to the consumers of comb honey. However, it appears that pesticide residues do not transfer to royal jelly, presumably due to the filtering activity of nurse bees during secretion.

As one of the key stable crops to feed half of the world's population, how rice cropping system affects honey bee health regarding pesticide exposure and forage availability is under investigated. We predicted honey bees were stressed by high pesticide exposure and forage dearth in monoculture rice systems. Providing access to natural habitats is a typical approach to mitigate the negative impact of intensive agriculture on honey bees. We aimed to determine if bee colonies located in landscapes with more cover of forest habitat would collect more forage and be exposed to less pesticides. We selected beekeeping locations in rice dominated landscapes (as control), mosaic landscapes of rice and medium woodland (MW) cover, and landscapes of high woodland (HW) cover, respectively, in July when rice starts bloom and pesticides are commonly used. Colonies were inspected at a biweekly frequency from July to October with population growth and forage (nectar and pollen) availability estimated. Pollen and bees were collected in middle August for pesticide exposure analysis. We did not observe enhancement in forage availability and reduction in pesticide exposure in landscapes with increased forest habitat (i.e., MW or HW cover), and all colonies failed in the end. Other natural habitats that can supplement flower shortage periods in forest can be considered for supporting bee health. Our results suggest that forest should be carefully assessed for being incorporated into beekeeping management or pollinator conservation when forest phenology can be a factor to affect its impact as a natural habitat.

Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of New butenolide Containing Methoxyacrylate Scaffold. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27196541.

Abstract
In order to improve the antifungal activity of new butenolides containing oxime ether moiety, a series of new butenolide compounds containing methoxyacrylate scaffold were designed and synthesized, based on the previous reports. Their structures were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HR-MS spectra, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The in vitro antifungal activities were evaluated by the mycelium growth rate method. The results showed that the inhibitory activities of these new compounds against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were significantly improved, in comparison with that of the lead compound 3-8; the EC50 values of V-6 and VI-7 against S. sclerotiorum were 1.51 and 1.81 mg/L, nearly seven times that of 3-8 (EC50 10.62 mg/L). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation indicated that compound VI-3 had a significant impact on the structure and function of the hyphal cell of S. sclerotiorum mycelium and the positive control trifloxystrobin. Molecular simulation docking results indicated that the introduction of methoxyacrylate scaffold is beneficial to improving the antifungal activity of these compounds against S. sclerotiorum, which can be used as the lead for further structure optimization.
