Article Abstract
The ability to produce large numbers of pesticide-exposed insects (e.g. crickets) is important for feeding studies into the effects of pesticides on key predatory species. House crickets (Acheta domesticus L. 1758) were submersed in serial dilutions of the pesticides, fenitrothion and fipronil, used for the control of locusts in Australia, and then rapidly frozen for residue analysis. Good correlations were found between increasing concentrations of serial pesticide dilutions and the resultant residual concentrations of the parent compounds in crickets, with R values of 0.949 (fenitrothion) and 0.946 (fipronil). R values for the much less abundant fipronil metabolites were lower 0.858 (sulfone), 0.368 (desulfinyl) and 0.785 (sulfide). This method enables insecticide exposure mimicking the field conditions to be assessed, and can be done immediately prior to an experiment. This ensures locusts remain alive when introduced to the feeding chambers, and enables multiple prey items to be dosed with a known pesticide burden.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, #505 BanPo-Dong, SeoCho-Gu, Seoul, 06591, Republic of Korea.
Background: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease delineated by excessive lymphocyte infiltration to the lacrimal or salivary glands, leading to dry eye and dry mouth. Exosomes secreted from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are known to have anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration abilities. This study endeavored to demonstrate the effect of MSC-derived exosomes on the clinical parameter of dry eyes and associated pathology in SS mouse model.

Background: Melasma is a prevalent skin condition that primarily affects females of reproductive age. Despite the various available treatments, managing melasma is challenging due to frequent relapses and partial responses. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has gained attention as a potential treatment because of its antifibrinolytic and anti-melanogenic properties.

Background: Persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia (pCIA) is a distressing side effect of antineoplastic agents, imposing significant psychological burdens on cancer survivors. Despite its impact, there are no standardized guidelines for diagnosis, prevention or management.
Objective: To establish consensus-based definitions, diagnostic criteria, grading systems and management recommendations for pCIA.
Association Between Testosterone Replacement Therapy and Prostatic Disorders in Elderly Hypogonadal Men.

Division of Intramural Research, National Library of Medicine, U.S. National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
Background: Concerns about potential prostate-related complications associated with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) often lead hypogonadal men to remain untreated.
Method: This large-scale retrospective cohort study aimed to address these concerns by analyzing Medicare enrollment and claims data (Parts A/B/C/D) from 2007 to 2020 for men aged ≥65 with diagnosed primary or secondary hypogonadism. Cox regression analysis and 1:1 propensity score matching, both stratified by age group, were employed to evaluate the association between prostate outcomes and TRT use.
Biologic Therapy and Malignancy Risk in Psoriasis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
J Dermatol
September 2025
Department of Dermatology, Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical University, Saitama, Japan.
The long-term impact of biologic therapy on malignancy risk in patients with psoriasis remains unclear. Given the chronic nature of psoriasis and the increasing use of biologics, understanding their long-term safety profile is crucial. This study aimed to compare the incidence of malignancy between patients receiving continuous biologic therapy and those treated with topical monotherapy.
