... The vagus nerve provides an important route to the central nervous system, and its brain projections are involved in nociceptive control and pain perception. We investigated the effect of ABVN stimulation on the inhibition of nociceptive signaling and the role of the cholinergic system in its neurobiological effects in models of visceral-somatic pain in rats, as well as the potential difference in ...

Nothobomolochua aigo sp. nov. is described based on two specimens of the female recovered from the bucco-branchial cavity of the mottled spinefoot, Siganus fuscescens (Houttuyn, 1782), captured by a fixed net at Kuki, Mie Prefecture. The fish was subsequently found in a vessel with formalin solution in which eight species of coastal actinopterygian fishes, including S. fuscescens, all captured by ...
... This investigation aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Cedruslibani and Pinusbrutia leaves. The anti-inflammatory property was evaluated by Human Red Blood Cells (HRBC) membrane stabilization assay and Albumin denaturation assay using Sodium diclofenac as a positive control. To evaluate the analgesic property, formalin and tail flick tests were carried out using ethanoli ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Clinical laboratories routinely use formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue or cell block cytology samples in oncology panel sequencing to identify mutations that can predict patient response to targeted therapy. To understand the technical error due to FFPE processing, a robustly characterized diploid cell line was used to create FFPE samples with four different pre-tissue proc ...

Abstract:
... Lead (Pb) cellular deposits can be detected by histochemistry using a classical potassium dichromate - formalin fixation and post-fixation with 3% potassium dichromate solution. Here we describe an alternative procedure for Pb histochemical detection in the blue crab Callinectes danae. Animals were exposed to Pb (2 µg/mL) for 24, 48 and 96h. Then, buffered formalin solution was used for hepatopanc ...

Abstract:
... Aliphatic aldehydes are toxic substances that correlate with the onset of many diseases. However, up to date, the methods to identify aliphatic aldehydes in biological samples are less selectivity and/or robustness. In this study, a strategy based on 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) capturing combined with mass defect filtering (MDF) was established and validated to identify aliphatic aldehydes i ...
