ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024:10.1007/s11356-024-34521-1. [PMID: 39120815 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-34521-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Agrochemicals are substances used to prevent, destroy, or mitigate any pest. Their indiscriminate use can cause serious problems in ecosystems, contaminating surface and groundwater and affecting surrounding biota. However, in the environment, various natural processes such as biological degradation and photodegradation can mitigate their persistence and, consequently, their ecotoxicological impact. In this regard, this study aimed to obtain relevant data on the cytotoxic effects produced by pesticides on bioindicator plants. As observed in the literature review, cellular inhibition, nuclear anomalies, and micronucleus index are some of the different impacts commonly known from pesticides. These chemical substances can cause cytogenetic alterations in a plant bioassay. Plant bioindicators such as Allium cepa L, Vicia faba L, Pisum sativum L, Lactuca sativa L, and Lens culinaris Med are very important and effective experimental models for identifying the cytogenotoxicity of pesticides. These have been available for many years. However, they are still used today for their effectiveness in detecting and monitoring chemical substances such as agrochemicals.

[PMID: 39033643 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a novel acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-based electrochemical sensor was successfully constructed using two-dimensional MXene, carbon nanohorns (CNHs) and polypyrrole (PPy) as the substrate material for the detection of methyl parathion (MP) residue. The multidimensional MXene/CNHs composite, formed through electrostatic self-assembly, provided a high specific surface area and excellent conductivity. With an active surface area of 0.1062 cm2, the composite provided numerous electroactive sites for AChE immobilization and facilitated electron diffusion at the sensing interface, amplifying the electrochemical signals. Additionally, polypyrrole (PPy) improved AChE adhesion on the electrode surface, further enhancing the stability of the sensor. The proposed sensor exhibited a wide linear range (0.002-346 ng mL-1) and low detection limit (0.00021 ng mL-1) for MP. This study offers an innovative strategy to detect MP, showcasing the potential of two-dimensional materials in electrochemical sensing.

Abstract
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vectors of arboviruses such as Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika, causing a major impact on global economic and public health. The main way to prevent these diseases is vector control, which is carried out through physical and biological methods, in addition to environmental management. Although chemical insecticides are the most effective strategy, they present some problems such as vector resistance and ecotoxicity. Recent research highlights the potential of the imidazolium salt "1-methyl-3-octadecylimidazolium chloride" (C18MImCl) as an innovative and environmentally friendly solution against Ae. aegypti. Despite its promising larvicidal activity, the mode of action of C18MImCl in mosquito cells and tissues remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate its impacts on Ae. aegypti larvae and three cell lines of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, comparing the cellular effects with those on human cells. Cell viability assays and histopathological analyses of treated larvae were conducted. Results revealed the imidazolium salt's high selectivity (> 254) for mosquito cells over human cells. After salt ingestion, the mechanism of larval death involves toxic effects on midgut cells. This research marks the first description of an imidazolium salt's action on mosquito cells and midgut tissues, showcasing its potential for the development of a selective and sustainable strategy for vector control.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 924:171512. [PMID: 38453081 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171512] [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: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
The presence of pesticide residues in aquatic environments poses a significant threat to both aquatic ecosystems and human health. The presence of these residues can result in significant harm to aquatic ecosystems and can negatively impact the health of aquatic organisms. Consequently, this issue requires urgent attention and effective measures to mitigate its impact. However, developing sensitive and rapid detection methods remains a challenge. In this study, an all-in-one test strip, which integrated bioenzymes, nanoenzymes, and a chromogen, was developed in combination with an enzyme labeling instrument for a highly sensitive and convenient sensing of malathion residues. The oxidase activity of heme chloride (Hemin) in the strip can catalyze the oxidation of H2O2 and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce a blue-colored oxide. Simultaneously, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) present in the strip can break down l-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate to produce ascorbic acid (AA). This AA then acts to reduce the oxidized form of TMB, turning it into a colorless substance and leading to the disappearance of its fluorescent signal. In the presence of a pesticide, the activity of ALP is inhibited and formation of AA is blocked, thereby preventing the reduction of oxidized TMB and producing a colored signal. According to this principle, the integrated test strip detected the target pesticide with high performance as per the optical density value determined via an enzyme marker. The detection limit of the test strip was 0.209 ng/mL with good sensitivity. The method was used for detecting malathion in actual river water samples, and the recoveries were in the range of 93.53 %-96.87 %. The newly devised technique effectively identified malathion in samples of natural water. This research has introduced a novel approach for the precise and convenient surveillance of pesticide remnants. Additionally, these discoveries could inspire the advancement of proficient multi-enzyme detection systems.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely studied for biomedical applications due to their excellent properties, such as good biocompatibility, degradability, interlayer ion exchangeability, high loading capacity, pH-responsive release, and large specific surface area. Furthermore, the flexibility in the structural composition and ease of surface modification of LDHs makes it possible to develop specifically functionalized LDHs to meet the needs of different applications. In this review, the recent advances of LDHs for biomedical applications, which include LDH-based drug delivery systems, LDHs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, tissue engineering, coatings, functional membranes, and biosensors, are comprehensively discussed. From these various biomedical research fields, it can be seen that there is great potential and possibility for the use of LDHs in biomedical applications. However, at the same time, it must be recognized that the actual clinical translation of LDHs is still very limited. Therefore, the current limitations of related research on LDHs are discussed by combining limited examples of actual clinical translation with requirements for clinical translation of biomaterials. Finally, an outlook on future research related to LDHs is provided.

Abstract
Pesticides are chemical constituents used to prevent or control pests, including insects, rodents, fungi, weeds, and other unwanted organisms. Despite their advantages in crop production and disease management, the use of pesticides poses significant hazards to the environment and public health. Pesticide elements have now perpetually entered our atmosphere and subsequently contaminated water, food, and soil, leading to health threats ranging from acute to chronic toxicities. Pesticides can cause acute toxicity if a high dose is inhaled, ingested, or comes into contact with the skin or eyes, while prolonged or recurrent exposure to pesticides leads to chronic toxicity. Pesticides produce different types of toxicity, for instance, neurotoxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and endocrine disruption. The toxicity of a pesticide formulation may depend on the specific active ingredient and the presence of synergistic or inert compounds that can enhance or modify its toxicity. Safety concerns are the need of the hour to control contemporary pesticide-induced health hazards. The effectiveness and implementation of the current legislature in providing ample protection for human health and the environment are key concerns. This review explored a comprehensive summary of pesticides regarding their updated impacts on human health and advanced safety concerns with legislation. Implementing regulations, proper training, and education can help mitigate the negative impacts of pesticide use and promote safer and more sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract
The accurate determination of organophosphorus pesticide residues is of great importance for human disease monitoring and environmental safety. Numerous detection methods exist, among which sensitive monitoring of organophosphorus compounds using electrochemical sensors has gradually become a research hotspot. This paper used acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as an indicator anchored on a zinc oxide-reduced graphene oxide (ZnO-rGO) composite rich in active sites, in which green non-toxic zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials were uniformly distributed on the reduced graphene for rapid detection of organophosphorus. The effects of different ratios of ZnO to reduced graphene on the performance of ZnO-rGO nanocomposites were investigated. The AChE/ZnO-rGO biosensor detects organophosphorus by electrochemical inhibition of acetylcholinesterase in the presence of organophosphorus. The developed electrochemical biosensor has high selectivity and good linearity, and the ZnO-rGO nanocomposite as a matrix for immobilization of acetylcholinesterase and detection of organophosphorus has the potential for highly sensitive pesticide detection.

Abstract
Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide that poses both health and environmental risks. In this study, we propose a liquid crystal (LC)-based assay for glyphosate detection that exploits the unique properties of LC materials. The nematic LC 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) was employed as the sensing material and a self-assembled monolayer of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) was used to modify glass substrates. The assay involved strong competition for coordination with Cu2+ for glyphosate, resulting in changes in the LC texture. By monitoring and analyzing the optical images of the LC film using polarizing microscopy, we detected and quantified the glyphosate concentrations. The proposed assay demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity toward glyphosate in the detection range of 1-300 nM with a limit of detection of 0.26 nM. Moreover, the assay successfully applied to analyze glyphosate in spiked samples, including tap water, soil, and cabbage, and satisfactory recovery rates were achieved. Based on this detection principle, capillary tube test strips were developed for on-site applications. The detection thresholds of the test strips were controlled by varying the Cu2+ concentration. The developed LC-based assay is a rapid and reliable glyphosate detection method with potential applications in environmental monitoring and food safety.

Abstract
In this work, a dual-signal output sensor was developed for the ratiometrically electrochemical and colorimetric detection of glyphosate (GLYP) based on the duplex nature of 2D Cu-TCPP(Fe) nanosheets (2D Cu-TCPP(Fe) NSs). Cu active center sites in 2D Cu-TCPP(Fe) NSs could transform into CuCl for signal amplification in the presence of chloride ions (Cl-), which dropped dramatically upon GLPY addition due to the strong interaction between GLYP and cuprous ion triggering the competitive reaction with the conversion of CuCl into Cu-GLYP complex. Meanwhile, the constant current signals of Fe2+/3+ in the iron-porphyrin structure of Cu-TCPP(Fe) served as an inner reference, resulting in a ratiometrically electrochemical GLYP sensor. Moreover, 2D Cu-TCPP(Fe) NSs with intrinsic peroxidase-like activity was employed for the colorimetric determination of GLYP based on the specific inhibitory effect of GLYP on the peroxidase activity of 2D Cu-TCPP(Fe) nanozyme. GLYP concentrations can be quantified in the range from 1.0 × 10-10 M to 1.0 × 10-6 M and 1.0 × 10-9 M to 1.0 × 10-7 M, with detection limits of 3.9 × 10-12 M and 1.89 × 10-11 M for ratiometrically electrochemical method and colorimetric assay, respectively. Such a dual-mode sensor with remarkable selectivity, reproducibility, and stability was finally applied for GLYP detection in real samples and reliable outcomes were achieved.

Abstract
A novel dual-signal fluorescent sensor was developed for detecting organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). It relies on the catalytic activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChOx) to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through the conversion of acetylcholine (ACh) to choline·H2O2 then oxidizes ferrocene-modified tetraphenylethylene (TPE-Fc) to its oxidized state (TPE-Fc+), resulting in enhanced cyan fluorescence due to aggregation. Simultaneously, ferrocene oxidation generates hydroxyl radicals (•OH), causing a decrease in orange fluorescence of glutathione-synthesized gold nanoclusters (GSH-AuNCs). The presence of OPs restricts AChE activity, reducing H2O2 production. Increasing OPs concentration leads to decreased cyan fluorescence and increased orange fluorescence, enabling visual OPs detection. The sensor has a linear dynamic range of 10-2000 ng/mL with a detection limit of 2.05 ng/mL. Smartphone-based color identification and a WeChat mini program were utilized for rapid OPs analysis with successful outcomes.

Abstract
Most of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are non or weakly emissive due to either the molecular thermal motion-mediated energy dissipation or the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect. Herein, we synthesize an imine-linked COF (TFPPy-TPh-COF) with high electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission and the capability of eliminating the ACQ effect and further construct an ECL sensor for malathion detection. The imine-linked COF is obtained by the condensation reaction of (1,1':3',1″-terphenyl)-4,4″-diamine (TPh) and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-formylphenyl)pyrene (TFPPy), and it has higher ECL efficiency than TFPPy aggregates due to the separation of ACQ luminophores (i.e., TFPPy) from each other by TPh and the restriction of intramolecular motions of TFPPy and TPh to reduce the nonradiative decay. The efficient quenching of ECL is achieved by electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ERET) from the excited state of the TFPPy-TPh-COF to zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and the steric hindrance of ZIF-8. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) can enzymatically hydrolyze acetylcholine (ACh) to generate acetic acid. The resultant acetic acid can trigger the dissolution of ZIF-8 to produce an enhanced ECL signal. Malathion as an organophosphorus pesticide serves as an AChE inhibitor to prevent the production of acetic acid, inducing the decrease of ECL signal. This sensor displays a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.44 pg/mL and a wide dynamic detection range of 0.01-1000 ng/mL. Furthermore, it can be used to detect other organophosphates pesticides (e.g., methidathion, chlorpyrifos, and paraoxon) and measure malathion in real samples (i.e., pakchoi, lettuce, and apples).

Abstract
A very simple mesotrione-sensing medium with enhanced sensitivity detection limits has been proposed. A renovated hydrothermal method was adopted for synthesizing fluorescent carbon dots from ethylenediamine and glucose using a Teflon-lined simple autoclave in a GC oven. The resultant carbon dots were characterized via TEM, FTIR, UV-vis, particle size distribution, and EDX and evaluated in a fluorimeter as the sensing medium for mesotrione detection. The binding approach of the Co (II)-integrated glucose-bound carbon dots toward mesotrione is selective, making them an effective sensor for the real sample applications, where majority of the coexisting substances showed insignificant interference effect. Formation of the metastable state due to the molecular interaction between carbon dots and Co (II) resulted in fluorescence quenching at 456 nm. Enhancement in the fluorescence intensity occurred when mesotrione was added in the concentration range of 0.2-5.0 μg mL-1, with a limit of detection, limit of quantification, standard deviation, and relative standard deviation of 0.054, 0.164, 0.00082 μg mL-1, and 0.682%, respectively. Mesotrione determination was demonstrated in soil, water, and tomato samples with recoveries in the range of 95.38-104.7%. The selectivity of the sensor was found to be good enough when checked for the complex tomato sample spiked with different pesticides of the triketone family having structural similarities to mesotrione.

Abstract
In this work, g-C3N5/CdS dendrite/AgNPs nanocomposite was synthesized using a mixed method consisting of hydrothermal, ultrasonic and chemistry reduction with sodium borohydride. The characterization of the as-prepared nanocomposite was done using infrared spectroscopy, X-ray, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, BET, and DRS methods was performed. The DRS results showed that the g-C3N5/CdS dendrite/AgNPs nanocomposite nanocomposite has a band gap of 1.08 eV. This band gap indicates the good capability of this nanocomposite as a photocatalyst. Accordingly, the photocatalytic degradation of chlorpyrifos (CPS) in was performed in an aqueous solution of the synthesized nanocomposite. The results showed that almost 95.3% of this poison, a concentration of 50 mg L-1 was degraded in the presence of 0.05 g L-1 of nanocomposite at pH = 5 in a 60 min. Hydroxide radicals and holes play a significant role in the photocatalytic process. The reusability of the nanocomposite with excellent performance in the degradation of photocatalytic toxins caused by the reduction in the electron-hole recombination and the high surface area of the nanocomposite are among the unique features of this work.

Abstract
An acetylcholinesterase (AChE) binding-based biosensor was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of organophosphate (OP) pesticides. The biosensor integrates the technique based on fiber-optic particle plasmon resonance detection and a synthetic AChE binding peptide conjugated with gold nanoparticles on the optical fiber surface via an AChE competitive binding assay. The OP pesticides present in the solution hinder the binding of AChE to the peptide on the biosensor by competing for the binding sites present in AChE. The limit of detection obtained for parathion using this method was observed to be 0.66 ppt (2.3 pM). This method shows a wide linear dynamic range of 6 orders. Furthermore, the use of the AChE binding peptide in the biosensor can better discriminate OPs against carbamates by using only a single biosensor. The practical application of this method was tested using spiked samples, which yielded good recovery and reproducibility. The spiked sample required minimal pretreatment before analysis; hence, this biosensor may also be used in the field.

Abstract
Fusion proteins composed of an organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) and pHluorin, a pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein variant, were constructed as whole-cell biosensors to measure organophosphorus pesticides. pHluorin was used to detect the pH changes because of the hydrolase of paraoxon by OPH. To examine the order of fusion of OPH and pHluorin, pHluorin-OPH and OPH-pHluorin fusion proteins were constructed. In addition, a peptide linker consisting of 15 amino acid was inserted between pHluorin and OPH to reduce steric hindrance. OPH and pHluorin activities were evaluated in cells expressing the four fusion proteins. The both activities of pHluorin-OPH and pHluorin-linker-OPH were higher than that of OPH-pHluorin and OPH-linker-pHluorin. Effects of the peptide linker on the activities were slight. Therefore, pHluorin-OPH and pHluorin-linker-OPH were found to be suitable for organophosphorus pesticide measurements. Using cells expressing pHluorin-linker-OPH, 0.5 μg/mL of paraoxon could be measured.

Abstract
A biomimetic mineralization method was used in the facile and rapid preparation of nanoflowers for immobilizing alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). The method mainly uses ADH as an organic component and zinc phosphate as an inorganic component to prepare flower-like ADH/Zn3(PO4)2 organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (HNFs) with the high specific surface area through a self-assembly process. The synthesis conditions of the ADH HNFs were optimized and its morphology was characterized. Under the optimum enzymatic reaction conditions, the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of ADH HNFs (β-NAD+ as substrate) was measured to be 3.54 mM, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the positive control ranitidine (0.2-0.8 mM) was determined to be 0.49 mM. Subsequently, the inhibitory activity of natural medicine Penthorum chinense Pursh and nine small-molecule compounds on ADH was evaluated using ADH HNFs. The inhibition percentage of the aqueous extract of P. chinense is 57.9%. The vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid, and naringenin have obvious inhibitory effects on ADH, and their percentages of inhibition are 55.1%, 68.3%, 61.9%, and 75.5%, respectively. Moreover, molecular docking analysis was applied to explore the binding modes and sites of the four most active small-molecule compounds to ADH. The results of this study can broaden the application of immobilized enzymes through biomimetic mineralization, and provide a reference for the discovery of ADH inhibitors from natural products.

Abstract
Neurotoxic pesticides are a group of chemicals that pose a severe threat to both human health and the environment. These molecules are also known to accumulate in the food chain and persist in the environment, which can lead to long-term exposure and adverse effects on non-target organisms. The detrimental effects of these pesticides on neurotransmitter levels and function can lead to a range of neurological and behavioral symptoms, which are closely associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, the accurate and reliable detection of these neurotoxic pesticides and associated neurotransmitters is essential for clinical applications, such as diagnosis and treatment. Over the past few decades, acetylcholinesterase (AchE) biosensors have emerged as a sensitive and reliable tool for the electrochemical detection of neurotoxic pesticides and acetylcholine. These biosensors can be tailored to utilize the high specificity and sensitivity of AchE, enabling the detection of these chemicals. Additionally, enzyme immobilization and the incorporation of nanoparticles have further improved the detection capabilities of these biosensors. AchE biosensors have shown tremendous potential in various fields, including environmental monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and pesticide residue analysis. This review summarizes the advancements in AchE biosensors for electrochemical detection of neurotoxic pesticides and acetylcholine over the past two decades.

Abstract
A simple, sensitive, and robust fluorescent sensor for chlortoluron detection has been developed. Fluorescent carbon dots were synthesized using ethylene diamine and fructose via a hydrothermal protocol. The molecular interaction between fructose carbon dots and Fe(iii) resulted in a fluorescent metastable state exhibiting remarkable fluorescence quenching at λem of 454 nm and interestingly, further quenching occurred upon the addition of chlortoluron. The quenching in the fluorescence intensity of CDF-Fe(iii) towards chlortoluron occurred in the concentration range of 0.2-5.0 μg mL-1 where the limit of detection was found to be 0.0467 μg mL-1, the limit of quantification was 0.14 μg mL-1, and the relative standard deviation was 0.568%. The selective and specific recognitive nature of the Fe(iii) integrated fructose bound carbon dots towards the chlortoluron make it a suitable sensor for real sample applications. The proposed strategy was applied for the determination of chlortoluron in soil, water, and wheat samples with recoveries in the range of 95% to 104.3%.

Abstract
Malaoxon, a highly toxic metabolite of malathion, can lead to severe harm or death if ingested. This study introduces a rapid and innovative fluorescent biosensor that relies on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition for detecting malaoxon using Ag-GO nanohybrid. The synthesized nanomaterials (GO, Ag-GO) were evaluated with multiple characterization methods to confirm their elemental composition, morphology, and crystalline structure. The fabricated biosensor works by utilizing AChE to catalyze the substrate acetylthiocholine (ATCh), which generates positively charged thiocholine (TCh) and triggers citrate-coated AgNP aggregation on the GO sheet, leading to an increase in fluorescence emission at 423 nm. However, the presence of malaoxon inhibits the AChE action and reduces the production of TCh, resulting in a decrease in fluorescence emission intensity. This mechanism allows the biosensor to detect a wide range of malaoxon concentrations with excellent linearity and low LOD and LOQ values of 0.001 pM to 1000 pM, 0.9 fM, and 3 fM, respectively. The biosensor also demonstrated superior inhibitory efficacy towards malaoxon compared to other OP pesticides, indicating its resistance to external influences. In practical sample testing, the biosensor displayed recoveries of over 98% with extremely low RSD% values. Based on the results obtained from the study, it can be concluded that the developed biosensor has the potential to be used in various real-world applications for detecting malaoxon in food, and water samples, with high sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability.

Abstract
Emodin, a compound isolated from Aspergillus terreus, was studied using chromatographic and spectroscopic methods and compound purity (96%) was assessed by TLC. Furthermore, high larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti-AeA (LC50 6.156 and LC90 12.450 mg/L), Culex quinquefasciatus-CuQ (8.216 and 14.816 mg/L), and Anopheles stephensi-AnS larvae (6.895 and 15.24 mg/L) was recorded. The first isolated fraction (emodin) showed higher pupicidal activity against AeA (15.449 and 20.752 mg/L). Most emodin-treated larvae (ETL) showed variations in acetylcholine esterase, α and β-carboxylesterases, and phosphatase activities in the 4th instar, indicating the intrinsic differences in their biochemical changes. ETL had numerous altered tissues, including muscle, gastric caeca, hindgut, midgut, nerve ganglia, and midgut epithelium. Acute toxicity of emodin on brine shrimp Artemia nauplii (54.0 and 84.5 mg/L) and the zebrafish Danio rerio (less toxicity observed) was recorded. In docking studies, Emodin interacted well with odorant-binding-proteins of AeA, AnS, and CuQ with docking scores of - 8.89, - 6.53, and - 8.09 kcal mol-1, respectively. Therefore, A. terreus is likely to be effective against mosquito larvicides.

Abstract
The bioaccumulation, metabolism, tissue-specific distribution and toxicity of the widely used organophosphorous pesticide malathion to zebrafish were investigated on an enantiomeric level for evaluating the environmental risks. The metabolites were also monitored and evaluated. Malathion was metabolized by zebrafish very fast with the half-life of 0.12 d and showed a middle accumulation capacity in zebrafish with bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of 12.9 after a 15-d exposure. Brain could enrich higher concentration of malathion than other tissues. The metabolites malaoxon, malathion/malaoxon monocarboxylic acid (DMA), malathion/malaoxon dicarboxylic acid (DCA), dimethylthiophosphate (DMTP) and dimethyldithiophosphate (DMDTP) were found, in which DMTP and DCA were in higher level, indicating the metabolism was mainly induced by carboxylesterase degradation. The accumulation of malathion and malaoxon was stereoselective in zebrafish tissues, exhibiting S-enantiomer preferentially enriched. The acute toxicity test showed rac-malathion was low toxic to zebrafish, which was 1.2 and 1.6 folds more toxic than S-malathion and R-malathion respectively. Malaoxon was highly toxic to zebrafish and approximately 32 times more toxic than malathion. The toxicity of other metabolites was lower than malathion. Malathion could cause an apparent developmental toxicity to zebrafish embryo, including bradycardia, hatchability reduction and deformity, and abnormal movement patterns in zebrafish larva. Chronic toxicity indicated that malathion and malaoxon induced oxidative damage and neurotoxicity in the liver, brain and gill of zebrafish, and malaoxon exhibited a relatively high injury to the zebrafish brain. The results can provide information for the comprehensive assessment of the potential risk of malathion to aquatic organisms and highlight the necessity of consideration of stereoselectivity and metabolites when systemically evaluating pesticides.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CHL), profenofos (PRO) and cypermethrin (CYP) are widely used in combination to increase crop yields. However, these three pesticides can cause serious harm to human health and do not easily degrade. In this study, a novel visible paper sensor has been prepared successfully and different colorimetric reactions were utilized to detect the three pesticides simultaneously. The sensor was constructed by grafting a zwitterionic polymer onto a cellulose filter (CF) and placing it on a glass surface modified with PDMS. The branch shape was designed to form multiple detection areas, which were modified with specific pesticides and corresponding chromogenic reagents. The as-prepared colorimetric platform exhibited high sensitivity, a short detection time, a good linear response and a low detection limit (LOD) for the three pesticides (chlorpyrifos: y = 46.801 - 1.939x, R2 = 0.983, LOD = 0.235 mg/L; profenofos: y = 40.068 + 42.5x, R2 = 0.988, LOD = 4.891 mg/L; cypermethrin: y = 51.993 + 1.474x, R2 = 0.993, LOD = 4.053 mg/L). The comparison of the results obtained by the proposed paper sensor and those obtained by spectrophotometry further revealed the stability and reliability of the paper sensor. In particular, the color intensity of the interaction between the pesticides and coloring agents could be directly observed by the human eye. The consistency of the colorimetric/optical assay was proven in real target pesticide samples. Thus, this sensing strategy provides a portable, cost-effective, accurate and visualized paper platform, which could be suitable for application in the fruit and vegetable industry for monitoring CHL, PRO and CYP in parallel.

Abstract
A portable acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-based electrochemical sensor based on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) and a miniature potentiostat was constructed for the rapid field detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). Graphene (GR) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were successively introduced onto SPCE for surface modification. Due to the synergistic effect of the two nanomaterials, the signal of the sensor has a significant enhancement. Take isocarbophos (ICP) as a model for chemical warfare agents (CAWs) and Ops; the SPCE/GR/AuNPs/AChE/Nafion sensor shows a wider linear range (0.1-2000 μg L-1), and a lower limit of detection (0.012 μg L-1) than SPCE/AChE/Nafion and SPCE/GR/AChE/Nafion sensors. Tests in actual fruit and tap water samples also yielded satisfactory results. Therefore, the proposed method can be used as a simple and cost-effective strategy for construction of portable electrochemical sensors for OP field detection.

Abstract
The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) is the largest pesticide-producing region in the world. Contamination of pesticide production sites has always been a focus of public attention. Twenty pesticide production sites in YRD were selected to analyze the residue, distribution, and environmental risk of organic contaminants in soil and groundwater. A total of 194 organic chemicals were detected in all soil and groundwater samples from the 20 sites. Eighty-eight constituents of concern (COCs) exceeded the comparison values of Regional Screening Levels (RSLs), and 80 % exceeded the RSLs by more than five times. The toxic effects of COCs in soil and groundwater were dominated by the carcinogenic risk, referred as "non-threshold". Benzene toluene ethylbenzene & xylene (BTEX) and chloroaliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) were the most prevalent at pesticide sites in YRD rather than pesticides, followed by chlorobenzene, chlorophenols, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). CAHs and BTEX could penetrate up to 24 m, while the others were primarily limited to 12 m. Most pesticide production sites showed a great contamination depth of >8 m, some even deeper than 20 m, posing a great risk of contamination to the confined aquifer. Due to the close interconnection of soil with water bodies, the shallow groundwater and adjacent surface water resources are also susceptible to suffering from environmental risk. More than half of the pesticide production sites in the YRD consist primarily of low-permeable clay layers, making in-situ contamination remediation difficult. This study provides a basis for developing remediation technology for pesticide sites in YRD and an ecological reference for further cleaning production and green manufacturing in the pesticide industry.

Abstract
Cadaverine is a biomolecule of major healthcare importance in periodontal disease; however, current detection methods remain inefficient. The development of an enzyme biosensor for the detection of cadaverine may provide a cheap, rapid, point-of-care alternative to traditional measurement techniques. This work developed a screen-printed biosensor (SPE) with a diamine oxidase (DAO) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) functionalised electrode which enabled the detection of cadaverine via cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The MWCNTs were functionalised with DAO using carbodiimide crosslinking with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), followed by direct covalent conjugation of the enzyme to amide bonds. Cyclic voltammetry results demonstrated a pair of distinct redox peaks for cadaverine with the C-MWCNT/DAO/EDC-NHS/GA SPE and no redox peaks using unmodified SPEs. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to isolate the cadaverine oxidation peak and a linear concentration dependence was identified in the range of 3-150 µg/mL. The limit of detection of cadaverine using the C-MWCNT/DAO/EDC-NHS/GA SPE was 0.8 μg/mL, and the biosensor was also found to be effective when tested in artificial saliva which was used as a proof-of-concept model to increase the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of this device. Thus, the development of a MWCNT based enzymatic biosensor for the voltammetric detection of cadaverine which was also active in the presence of artificial saliva was presented in this study.

Abstract
A rapid surge in world population leads to an increase in worldwide demand for agricultural products. Nanotechnology and its applications in agriculture have appeared as a boon to civilization with enormous potential in transforming conventional farming practices into redefined farming activities. Low-cost portable nanobiosensors are the most effective diagnostic tool for the rapid on-site assessment of plant and soil health including plant biotic and abiotic stress level, nutritional status, presence of hazardous chemicals in soil, etc. to maintain proper farming and crop productivity. Nanobiosensors detect physiological signals and convert them into standardized detectable signals. In order to achieve a reliable sensing analysis, nanoparticles can aid in signal amplification and sensor sensitivity by lowering the detection limit. The high selectivity and sensitivity of nanobiosensors enable early detection and management of targeted abnormalities. This study identifies the types of nanobiosensors according to the target application in agriculture sector.

Abstract
Many environmental factors, such as noise, chemicals, and heavy metals, are mostly produced by human activities and easily induce acquired hearing loss. Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) constitute a large variety of chemicals and have high usage with potentiate damage to human health. Moreover, their metabolites also show a serious potential contamination of soil, water, and air, leading to a serious impact on people's health. Hearing loss affects 430 million people (5.5% of the global population), bringing a heavy burden to individual patients and their families and society. However, the potential risk of hearing damage by OPs has not been taken seriously. In this study, we summarized the effects of OPs on hearing loss from epidemiological population studies and animal experiments. Furthermore, the possible mechanisms of OP-induced hearing loss are elucidated from oxidative stress, DNA damage, and inflammatory response. Overall, this review provides an overview of OP exposure alone or with noise that leads to hearing loss in human and experimental animals.

Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers are short single-stranded DNA/RNA (ssDNA/RNA) oligonucleotides that can selectively bind to the targets. They are widely used in medicine, biosensing, and diagnostic assay. They have also been identified and extensively used for various targets in agriculture. In this review we summarize the progress of nucleic acid aptamers on pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides), toxins, specific biomarkers of crops, and plant growth regulators in agricultural field in recent years. The basic process of aptamer selection, the already identified DNA/RNA aptamers and the aptasensors are discussed. We also discuss the future perspectives and the challenges for aptamer development in agriculture.

Abstract
In agricultural fields, pesticides are widely used, but their residual presence in the environment poses a threat to humans, animals, insects, and ecosystems. The overuse of pesticides for pest control, enhancement of crop yield, etc. leaves behind a significant residual amount in the environment. Various robust, reliable, and reusable methods using a wide class of composites have been developed for the monitoring and controlling of pesticides. Researchers have discovered that carbon nanomaterials have a wide range of characteristics such as high porosity, conductivity and easy electron transfer that can be successfully used to detect pesticide residues from food. This review emphasizes the role of carbon nanomaterials in the field of pesticide residue analysis in different food matrices. The carbon nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes, carbon dots, carbon nanofibers, graphene/graphene oxides, and activated carbon fibres are discussed in the review. In addition, the review examines future prospects in this research area to help improve detection techniques for pesticides analysis.

Abstract
There has been a rise in pesticide use as a result of the growing industrialization of agriculture. Organophosphorus pesticides have been widely applied as agricultural and domestic pest control agents for nearly five decades, and they remain as health and environmental hazards in water supplies, vegetables, fruits, and processed foods causing serious foodborne illness. Thus, the rapid and reliable detection of these harmful organophosphorus toxins with excellent sensitivity and selectivity is of utmost importance. Aptasensors are biosensors based on aptamers, which exhibit exceptional recognition capability for a variety of targets. Aptasensors offer numerous advantages over conventional approaches, including increased sensitivity, selectivity, design flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. As a result, interest in developing aptasensors continues to expand. This paper discusses the historical and modern advancements of aptasensors through the use of nanotechnology to enhance the signal, resulting in high sensitivity and detection accuracy. More importantly, this review summarizes the principles and strategies underlying different organophosphorus aptasensors, including electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent, fluorescent, and colorimetric ones.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting–aptamer techniques exhibit the advantages of molecular imprinting and aptamer technology. Hybrids of molecularly imprinted polymer–aptamer (MIP–aptamer) prepared by this technique have higher stability, binding affinity and superior selectivity than conventional molecularly imprinted polymers or aptamers. In recent years, molecular imprinting–aptamer technologies have attracted considerable interest for the selective recognition of target molecules in complex sample matrices and have been used in molecular recognition such as antibiotics, proteins, viruses and pesticides. This review introduced the development of molecular imprinting–aptamer-combining technologies and summarized the mechanism of MIP–aptamer formation. Meanwhile, we discussed the challenges in preparing MIP–aptamer. Finally, we summarized the application of MIP–aptamer to the molecular recognition in disease diagnosis, environmental analysis, food safety and other fields.

Abstract
In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis to determine the structural, electronic, reactivity, and conformational features of 2,5,5-trimethyl-1,3,2-di-heteroatom (X) phosphinane-2-sulfide derivatives (X = O (compound 1), S (compound 2), and Se (compound 3)). We discovered that the features improve dramatically at 6-31G** and B3LYP/6-311+G** levels. The level of theory for the molecular structure was optimized first, followed by the frontier molecular orbital theory development to assess molecular stability and reactivity. Molecular orbital calculations, such as the HOMO–LUMO energy gap and the mapping of molecular electrostatic potential surfaces (MEP), were performed similarly to DFT calculations. In addition, the electrostatic potential of the molecule was used to map the electron density on a surface. In addition to revealing molecules’ size and shape distribution, this study also shows the sites on the surface where molecules are most chemically reactive.

Abstract
The neuro-mechanisms that regulate insect reproduction are not fully understood. Biogenic amines, including octopamine, are neuromodulators that have been shown to modulate insect reproduction in various ways, e.g., promote or inhibit insect mating or oviposition. In this study, we examined the role of octopamine in regulating the reproduction behaviors of a devastating underground insect pest, the dark black chafer (Holotrichia parallela). We first measured the abundance of octopamine in different neural tissues of the adult chafer pre- and post-mating, demonstrating that octopamine decreased in the abdominal ganglia of females but increased in males post-mating. We then fed the adult H. parallela with a concentration gradient of octopamine to test the effects on insect reproductive behaviors. Compared with its antagonist mianserin, octopamine at the concentration of 2 µg/mL resulted in the highest increase in males' preference for sex pheromone and females' oviposition, whereas the mianserin-treatment increased the survival rate and prolonged the lifespan of H. parallela. In addition, we did not observe significant differences in egg hatchability between octopamine and mianserin-treated H. parallela. Our results demonstrated that octopamine promotes H. parallela mating and oviposition with a clear low dosage effect, illustrated how neural substrates modulate insect behaviors, and provided insights for applying octopamine in pest management.

Abstract
The presence of pyrethroids in food and the environment due to their excessive use and extensive application in the agriculture industry represents a significant threat to public health. Therefore, the determination of the presence of pyrethroids in foods by simple, rapid, and sensitive methods is warranted. Herein, recognition methods for pyrethroids based on electrochemical and optical biosensors from the last five years are reviewed, including surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), chemiluminescence, biochemical, fluorescence, and colorimetric methods. In addition, recognition elements used for pyrethroid detection, including enzymes, antigens/antibodies, aptamers, and molecular-imprinted polymers, are classified and discussed based on the bioreceptor types. The current research status, the advantages and disadvantages of existing methods, and future development trends are discussed. The research progress of rapid pyrethroid detection in our laboratory is also presented.

Abstract
Pesticides such as organothiophosphates (OTPs) are neurotoxically active and enter the aquatic environment. Bioassays, using acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a suitable substrate and reactant, can be applied for the photometric detection of AChE-inhibiton (AChE-I) effects. The oxidized forms of OTPs, so-called oxons, have higher inhibition potentials for AChE. Therefore, a higher sensitivity is achieved for application of oxidized samples to the AChE assay. In this study, the oxidation of malathion, parathion, and chlorpyrifos by n-bromosuccinimide (NBS) was investigated in an approach combining high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) with an AChE-I assay. Two AChE application approaches, immersion and spraying, were compared regarding sensitivity, precision, and general feasibility of the OTP effect detection. The oxidation by NBS led to an activation of the OTPs and a strong increase in sensitivity similar to the oxons tested. The sensitivity and precision of the two application techniques were similar, although the spray method was slightly more sensitive to the oxidized OTPs. The 10% inhibition concentrations (IC10) for the spray approach were 0.26, 0.75, and 0.35 ng/spot for activated malathion, parathion, and chlorpyrifos, respectively. AChE-I effect recoveries in samples from a stormwater retention basin and receiving stream were between 69 and 92% for malathion, parathion, and chlorpyrifos. The overall workflow, including sample enrichment by solid-phase extraction, HPTLC, oxidation of OTPs, and AChE-I assay, was demonstrated to be suitable for the detection of AChE-I effects in native water samples. An effect of unknown origin was found in a sample from a stormwater retention basin.

This study, it is aimed to develop an electrochemical aptasensor that can detect phosphate ions using 3.3'5.5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). It is based on the principle of converting the binding affinity of the target molecule phosphate ion (PO43-) into an electrochemical signal with specific aptamer sequences for the aptasensor to be developed. The aptamer structure served as a gate for the TMB to be released and was used to trap the TMB molecule in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs). The samples for this study were characterized by transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM), Brunner-Emmet-Teller, dynamic light scattering&electrophoretic light scattering, and induction coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. According to TEM analysis, MSNPs have a morphologically hexagonal structure and an average size of 208 nm. In this study, palladium-carbon nanoparticles (Pd/C NPs) with catalytic reaction were used as an alternative to the biologically used horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme for the release of TMB in the presence of phosphate ions. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated as 0.983 μM, the limit of determination (LOQ) was calculated as 3.276 μM, and the dynamic linear phosphate range was found to be 50-1000 μM. The most important advantage of this bio-based aptasensor assembly is that it does not contain molecules such as a protein that cannot be stored for a long time at room temperature, so its shelf life is very long compared to similar systems developed with antibodies. The proposed sensor shows good recovery in phosphate ion detection and is considered to have great potential among electrochemical sensors.

Efficient Screening of Pesticide Diazinon-Binding Aptamers Using the Sol-Gel-Coated Nanoporous Membrane-Assisted SELEX Process and Next-Generation Sequencing. Appl Biochem Biotechnol 2022; 194:3901-3913.

Abstract
Aptamer-based methods for detecting pesticides are more efficient than antibody-based methods by high thermal stability, low molecular weight, easy modification, and low cost. In this study, the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) process, combined with next-generation sequencing (NGS), was performed to select aptamers specific to the pesticide, diazinon, which was fixed on a sol-gel-coated nanoporous-anodized aluminum oxide membrane to overcome the immobilization effect of general method and simplify the elution step. The frequency of specific nucleotide sequences obtained after SELEX rounds was directly analyzed using NGS to eliminate the time-consuming cloning process used in the general SELEX methods. Nine sequences with the highest frequency after SELEX round 10 followed by NGS were selected and tested to derive their binding affinity with the target, diazinon, through circular dichroism (CD) spectrophotometry. The CD signal difference of the aptamer candidates ranged from 0.13 to 2.242 mdeg between diazinon-only treated and diazinon-aptamer-treated samples at a wavelength near 270 nm. Aptamer D-4, which had the highest binding affinity from CD spectrophotometry analysis, showed no cross-reactivity with non-target pesticides, such as baycarb, bifenthrin, and pyridaben, but interacted with the other pesticides, fipronil and 2-phenylphenol. Therefore, an aptamer was effectively screened by selection of high-frequency candidates after SELEX-NGS followed by CD analysis with the highest difference signal. A follow-up study is needed to confirm whether the proposed SELEX process combined with NGS for the discovery of aptamers for new targets can further shorten the SELEX cycle by reducing the number of SELEX rounds to 10 or less.

Abstract
With the improvement of people's safety awareness, the requirement of pesticide detection is gradually increasing, and many new detection methods toward Organophosphorus pesticide (OPs) has been further developed and applied. Nanomaterials-based biosensors have played an important role in the trace detection of OPs. This article mainly introduces the detection principle of enzymes and aptamers as the identification element of biosensors. Various nanomaterials (i.e., metals and metal oxides, carbon nanotubes, graphene and graphene oxide, quantum dots, metal organic frameworks, molecular imprinted polymers, etc.) possess their unique properties and play different roles in the enzyme and aptamer-based biosensors toward OPs: (a) to produce the optical or electrochemical signal; (b) as a carrier to load the enzyme or aptamer; (c) to enhance the signal response. Besides, the intelligent portable devices provide the possibility to realize the onsite and real-time detection. The limitations of some nanomaterials and the future development are discussed. Finally, the future of enzyme and aptamer-based biosensors has prospected.

Abstract
Developing a cytosensing strategy based on electrochemical approaches has attracted wide interest due to the low cost, rapid response, and simple instrumentation. In this work, an electrochemical cytosensor employing the Pt@BSA nanocomposite as the biosensing substrate along with the covalent cross-linking of targeting molecules folic acid (FA) was constructed for highly sensitive determination of folate receptor (FR)-positive tumor cells. The prepared Pt@BSA nanocomposite revealed excellent biocompatibility for cell adhesion and proliferation, which was confirmed by cell viability evaluation using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric methods. Due to the satisfactory electrical conductivity originating from Pt@BSA and the high binding affinity of FA to FR on the cell surface, an ultrasensitive and specific cytosensing device was designed for rapid and quantitative determination of HeLa cells (a model system) by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) tests. This proposed cytosensor resulted in a wide HeLa cell determination range of 2.8 × 101-2.8 × 106 cells mL-1 with a low DPV detection limit of 9 cells mL-1. The developed cytosensing approach exhibited highly specific recognition of FR-positive tumor cells, excellent inter-assay reproducibility with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.7%, acceptable intra-assay precision, and favorable storage stability, expanding the application of electrochemical measurement technology in the biomedical field of early detection and diagnosis of cancers.

Abstract
The human population is dependent on agriculture for its food requirements and survival. Several insecticides and pesticides have found their use for improvements in agricultural yields. Organophosphates (OP) are one of the many compounds used as insecticides and pesticides. OPs have also been used to develop G and V-series chemicals which act as highly toxic nerve agents that can severely influence the normal function of the nervous system in all living beings. Thus, OP compounds utilized as insecticides/pesticides and nerve agents are hazardous to the environment, lethal for humans and other non-target animals. To avoid their toxicity, approaches to detect and neutralize them have become essential. A variety of analytical procedures such as electrochemical processes and chromatography methods, namely liquid and gas chromatography, have been employed to detect OPs. Though these techniques are sensitive and highly accurate they suffer from drawbacks, for instance: their bulky nature and expensive instrumentation, the difficulty of operation, long detection times, and they can yield unpredictable results with variable sample complexities. With the advent of several types of biosensors, the assay of OP compounds has become simpler, faster, cost-effective with improved sensitivity, and provides the capability for onsite detection. OP biosensor assays typically utilize several enzymes with the capability to hydrolyze/degrade OP compounds, such as organophosphate hydrolase (OPH) and organophosphate acid hydrolase (OPAA). This review focuses on discussing various aspects of OPAA as biological recognition unit in terms of its: structure, properties, activity enhancement methods, and utilization for developing OPAA-based biosensing technologies for insecticides, pesticides, and nerve agents.
