Abstract
Pyriproxyfen (PPX) is a pesticide/larvicide used to increase productivity in agriculture against insects by inhibiting development of insects' larvae. In this study, cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic effects of PPX were investigated in human peripheral lymphocytes and Salmonella typhimurium strains by performing chromosomal aberration, micronucleus (MN) tests, and Ames test, respectively. For the chromosome aberration (CA) and MN methods, blood from four healthy donors (two men and two women, nonsmokers) were used. Two hundred microliters of blood was inoculated into PbMax medium and prepared according to International Guidelines. For the Ames test, S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100 strains were used to detect frameshift and base pair substitution mutagens, respectively. PPX induced both the CA percentage and MN frequency in human peripheral lymphocytes and exhibited cytotoxic effects. In addition, it showed a mutagenic effect at all doses in TA98 and TA100 strains in the presence of S9mix; however, no such effect was observed in the absence of S9mix. According to the obtained results, it can be said that PPX has genotoxic and mutagenic potentials.

Abstract
In the present study, an ecotoxicological approach to the evaluation of the insecticide Pyriproxifen in the crustacean Daphnia magna was done. Acute toxicity tests (48 h), feeding behavior test (5 h) and chronic toxicity test (21 days) were carried out on a parental daphnid generation (F0). Pyriproxifen D. magna EC50 value in our experimental conditions was 336.47 μg/L. Based on this result, sublethal test concentrations were selected for the feeding study and the F0 chronic experiment. Filtration and ingestion rates of D. magna exposed animals did not show any significant difference respect to control daphnids. However, daphnids from the parental F0 generation when exposed to the insecticide during 21 days showed a decreased in all the reproductive parameters tested (mean total neonates per female, mean brood size, time to first brood, and mean number of broods per female) as well as in the population statistic growth rate (r), although survival was not affected. On the other hand, offspring from F0 females exposed to the highest Pyriproxifen concentration (14.02 μg/L) were separated in two F1 generation experiments. One group was transferred during 21 days to a medium free of toxicant (F1 generation-TC group) while the other group was exposed during 21 days to the same insecticide concentration as their mothers (14.02 μg/L) (F1 generation-TT group). Results from both experiments determined a decreased in most of the reproductive parameters which was higher in the F1-TT group, although some of them were recovered in the F1-TC group. On the other hand, the morphological analysis of the daphnids showed that the coloration pattern was altered in the daphnids exposed to the insecticide, together with a significant size decreased, and neonates from F0 progeny with the same morphological abnormality. Finally, we determined that the insecticide caused the appearance of males among the offspring generated by the F0.

Abstract
Bone substitutes based on xenografts have been used for a long time in bone regeneration thanks to their inductive capacity for bone tissue regeneration. Some bone-based scaffolds have been modified by adding collagen and other proteins to improve their regenerative capacity and prevent migration and aggregation, especially particles. However, rejection of this graft has been reported due to protein residues caused by poor material preparation. We compared the in vitro and in vivo biological response of two commercial xenografts (InterOss®, F1 and InterOss® Collagen, F2) and a commercial porcine collagen membrane (InterCollagen® Guide, F3) as a rapid degradation control. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis evidenced the presence of hydroxyl, orthophosphate, and carbonate groups of the xenografts and amide groups of collagen. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the xenografts demonstrated their thermal stability and the presence of a few amounts of organic material. The study by differential scanning calorimetry showed the presence of endothermic peaks typical of the dehydration of the xenografts (F1 and F2) and for the collagen membrane (F3), the beginning of structural three-dimensional protein changes. Subsequently, in vitro biocompatibility tests were carried out for the materials with Artemia salina and MTT cell viability with HeLa cells, demonstrating the high biocompatibility of the materials. Finally, in vivo biocompatibility was studied by implanting xenografts in biomodels (Wistar rats) at different periods (30, 60, and 90 days). The F1 xenograft (InterOss) remained remarkably stable throughout the experiment (90 days). F2 (InterOss Collagen) presented a separation of its apatite and collagen components at 60 days and advanced resorption at 90 days of implantation. Finally, the collagen membrane (F3) presented faster resorption since, at 90 days, only some tiny fragments of the material were evident. All the in vivo and in vitro test results demonstrated the biocompatibility of the xenografts, demonstrating the potential of these materials for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Morphological tools can assist in the evaluation of effects of insecticides on non-target insects. Pyriproxyfen, a juvenile hormone analog, is known to interfere with growth and metamorphosis of insects. However, there are studies showing indirect effects on natural enemies, including green lacewings. Few prior studies describe morphological effects of pyriproxyfen on target insect organs, especially on natural enemies. Through morphological tools, this study aimed to characterize the midgut and fat body, both important organs of digestion and great metabolic activity respectively, of the predator Ceraeochrysa claveri after chronic exposure to pyriproxyfen. Larvae of C. claveri were fed Diatraea saccharalis egg clusters treated with pyriproxyfen in solution of 50 or 100 mg a.i. L-1 throughout the larval stage. The biological data revealed significant increases in development time, especially in the third instar, and in cumulative mortality from the prepupal into the pupal stage. Morphological analysis of adult midgut (≤24 h old) showed damage including formation of epithelial folds, intercellular spaces, emission of cytoplasmic protrusions. Both fat body regions presented decrease of lipid droplets, vacuolization of trophocytes and mitochondrial injury featuring a multisystemic action. In both organs, pyriproxyfen exposure induced significant oxidative stress by mitochondrial superoxide production. Cytoprotective responses were induced in midgut and fat body cells by augmenting the number of cytoplasmic granules containing calcium and expression of HSP 90. Both organs proved to be efficient in presenting histopathological alterations, showing the sensitivity and applicability of this morphological tool for evaluating other insecticides in non-target organisms.

Abstract
This work aimed at offering an effective and environmentally friendly approach to the real wastewater of an industrial agrochemicals production plant containing high amounts of many hazardous compounds that threaten human health. The removal of total organic carbon (TOC) (59.45%) and colour (97.92%) of the wastewater was achieved using subcritical water oxidation method. The fate of the detected compounds was followed by GC-MS analysis. Several pollutants such as phenol, fumaric acid, chlorpyrifos, penconazole, brassilexin, buprofezin, etoxazole, pyriproxyfen and 2-naphthalene-sulphonic acid which are bio-refractory and harmful to human health, were effectively degraded. Inorganic ions exist in the wastewater or formed through the process and their possible effects on the applied method were analysed. The central composite design was used to optimise the method and fully evaluate the single or combined effects of the method parameters on the removal rates. The precision of the applied design models was evaluated employing ANOVA, Regression coefficients and validation analysis. F and P and R2 values were obtained as 107.43, <0.0001, and 0.9898, respectively in the TOC removal model and 39.45, <0.0001, and 0.9726 in the colour removal model.[Formula: see text].

Abstract
Pyriproxyfen (PPF) is a synthetic substance and an insect juvenile hormone agonist with growth regulating effect. It is used worldwide as a pesticide in agriculture and public health campaigns, including the control of Aedes aegypti proliferation. It has low volatility, high Kow value and high lability in aerobic aquatic systems but is considered persistent in anaerobic systems, with a half-life of 288.9 days. The objective of this study is to survey the environmental contamination by pyriproxyfen in aquatic environmental matrices, to review the acute and chronic toxicity in non-target aquatic organisms and to make a risk assessment for the organisms addressed in the bibliographic survey. Pyriproxyfen quantification studies in aquatic environmental matrices are quite scarce and punctual-not representative of regional and global contamination. The water of the River Júcar (Spain) presented the highest concentration of PPF (99.59 ng L-1) among the matrices analysed, which is equivalent to 1% of the maximum dose allowed by the World Health Organization for use in drinking water. Acute and chronic aquatic toxicity studies with LC50, EC50, LOEC and NOEC values of PPF were compiled and interpreted to evaluate possible risks to non-target aquatic organisms. Pyriproxyfen caused a high risk at concentrations detected in aquatic environments for Daphnia magna, with probable reproductive effects and occasional survival risk. This species was the most sensitive to the pesticide, with the lowest estimated concentration of 50 % of effect values, followed by a freshwater fish (Xiphophorus maculatus) and estuarine crustaceans (Eurytemora affinis and Leander tenuicornis). The most resistant organisms to PPF within the endpoints addressed in this review were Danio rerio (zebrafish) and Capitella sp. (polychaete). Through the species sensitivity distribution (SSD), it was possible to estimate HC5 at 0.214 μg L-1 and that 2.3 % of the species present high sensitivity to pyriproxyfen in the environmental concentration detected in river water and 25.82 % of the species are affected in the concentration allowed for lavicidal use. In order to obtain more accurate risk estimates, we suggest ecotoxicological assessments in other species, covering various taxa, with emphasis on microcrustaceans due to their fundamental role in the aquatic food web and taxonomic proximity to pesticide target organisms. Furthermore, additional studies of contamination in aquatic environmental matrices are required, with particular attention to freshwater and estuarine environments due to the proximity to the sources of pyriproxyfen and environmental characteristics suggesting high accumulation. Thus, it will be possible to estimate realistic exposure levels and risks in different environments, contributing to effective and safe decision making, integrating development, public health and environmental policy.

Abstract
The association of low concentrations of pyriproxyfen and Spinosad, a naturally-occurring insecticide, was evaluated as an environment-friendly strategy to rationalize Aedes aegypti control programs by reducing larvicide consumption, saving financial costs and increasing residual effect against mosquitoes development. Firstly, the ecotoxicological parameters of the mixture was performed on non-target species Daphnia magna and the results confirmed that the low concentrations used in this larvicide mixture were not able to alter the reproductive parameters of chronically exposed microcrustaceans. In contrast, the mixture altered the behavior and development of Aedes aegypti, effectively inhibiting the emergence of adult insects for a long period. The results confirm the hypothesis that even at very low concentrations, the combination of the Spinosad and Pyriproxyfen larvicides offers an opportunity for Aedes aegypti public control programs to be more efficient.

Abstract
Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator acting as larvicide against a large spectrum of public health insect pests, especially dipterans. It is also widely used in agriculture and horticulture for the control of many insect species. Disrupting the endocrine system by mimicking the activity of the juvenile hormone, pyriproxyfen interferes with metamorphosis in insects and prevents them from reaching maturity and reproducing. Because the aquatic ecosystems can be directly or indirectly contaminated by pyriproxyfen, the goal of this study was to establish the aquatic ecotoxicological profile of pyriproxyfen and to identify the gaps that need to be filled. Pyriproxyfen is photodegraded quickly in water. In the absence of organic matter, its persistence in aerobic water media is also limited especially with high temperature and sunlight. Analysis of the laboratory and in situ results for more than 60 aquatic algae, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates shows that the toxicity of pyriproxyfen is highly variable including within a same taxonomical group. Abiotic and biotic factors can highly influence the toxicity of the molecule. Pyriproxyfen disrupts the development of numerous species and adversely impacts various physiological events. It can also disturb the behavior of the organisms such as their predatory and swimming performances. Although some experimental studies focus on the environmental fate of pyriproxyfen metabolites, those dealing with their aquatic ecotoxicity assessment are scarce. In the same way, the limited number of studies dealing with the search of pyriproxyfen residues in lake, river, and other natural aquatic media does not include the identification of the metabolites.
