چکیده

Procedures for training pigs by shock avoidance conditioning to perform a shuttlebox and a visual discrimination problem are described. Pigs achieved stable performance levels of better than 95 percent shock avoidance in 6 and 35 days for the shuttlebox and discrimination problem, respectively. Such stable and accurate performances are required for assessing behavioral effects of independent variables.

Studying the Mechanical Behavior of Tissue in the Generation of Pressure Sores using Simulation and a Guinea Pig Experimental Model

Introduction:  Pressure  sores  refer  to  lesions  that  are  produced  while  a  constant  pressure  causes  necrotic  tissue to grow. The need for a better comprehension of the process has led researchers to artificial generation  of  pressure  sores.  Modeling  the  mechanical  behavior  of tissue  will  provide  a better understanding  of this  process as well as a more suitable selection ...

Analysis of Swine Leukocyte Antigen Haplotypes in Yucatan Miniature Pigs Used as Biomedical Model Animal.

The porcine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is called swine leukocyte antigen (SLA), which controls immune responses and transplantation reactions. The SLA is mapped on pig chromosome 7 (SSC7) near the centromere. In this study, 3 class I (SLA-1, SLA-3, and SLA-2) and 3 class II (DRB1, DQB1, and DQA) genes were used for investigation of SLA haplotypes in Yucatan miniature pigs in Korea. ...

Experimental Surgery and Brain Imaging Applied to Nutrition Studies in Pig and Minipig Models

The pig model is increasingly used in biomedical research and notably for nutrition studies. In addition to have numerous similarities with the human, in terms of anatomy and physiology, the pig has a brain that is structurally and functionally very close to that of non-human primates. The pig model consequently represents a unique opportunity to explore the neurophysiological determinants of t...

Effect of Matricaria chamomilla extract on the electrically stimulation of ileum of guinea-pig in invitro model

Previous studies indicate that Matricaria chamomilla (MC), a folk remedy plant, is very useful in the treatment of spasmogenic bowel diseases but the way of its action is not clear. For this purpose, we studied the effect of MC extract on the electrically activation in Guinea-Pig ileum in an invitro model. We used guinea pig in this study. After of kill, we brouhght out a piece of ileum and fix...
