[ 1 ] - Age-Related Differences in Neuropathic Pain Behavior and Spinal Microglial Activity after L5 Spinal Nerve Ligation in Male Rats
Introduction: Several studies have reported the involvement of age-related changes in the development of neuropathic pain behaviors. However, limited data are available on the role of age in establishing and maintaining chronic neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury. Methods: In the present study, we examined age-related neuropathic behavior among rats in 4 age groups: p...
[ 2 ] - Spatial Learning Paradigm Can Increase Post-Stress Total Time of REM Sleep in Immobilized Rats
Background & Objective: Stress contributes to sleep-wake behavior in all animals. It seems that factors such as learning and memory processes can improve sleep disorders. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the effects of stress and learning (spatial memory) on total post-stress rapid-eye-movement (REM), non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) and waking time in rats. Materials & Met...
[ 3 ] - Evaluation of the effects of fullerene C60 nanoparticles on oxidative stress parameters at liver and brain of normal rats
Background & Objective: The potent antioxidant property of fullerene C60 nanoparticles and their derivatives has been demonstrated in a wide range of in vitro and in vivo studies. Hence, we examined the effects of fullerene C60 on the oxidative stress parameters at brain and liver of rats in normal situation. Materials & Methods: The study was performed in two groups of Wistar rats (each group...
[ 4 ] - The Analgesic and Anxiolytic Activity of Resveratrol Mediated by Different Sub-Types of α-Adrenoceptors of Anterior Cingulate Cortex Following Neuropathic Pain in Male Rats
Background and Objective: The mechanism of analgesic and anxiolytic activity of resveratrol in neuropathic pain conditions remains obscure. The present study was conducted to examine whether the analgesic and anxiolytic activities of resveratrol are associated with α1- and α2-adrenoceptors of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which is a key area of the cortex in the pain process, following n...
[ 5 ] - Assessing the Effects of Fullerene C60 on Markers of Oxidative Stress in the Testes of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
Background and Objective: Occurrence of oxidative stress in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus affects spermatogenesis and the testicular functions. As the promising antioxidant activities of fullerene C60 nanomaterial have been demonstrated by previous reports, the current study aimed to determine the fullerene C60 effects on the markers of oxidative stress damage in testes of streptozotocin-induc...
[ 6 ] - The Effect of Descurainia Sophia Seed Extract on Nephrotoxicity Markers Induced by Acetaminophen in Mice
Background & Objective: Acetaminophen is known as the most common agent which causes hepatic and renal toxicity in human and experimental animals at supra-therapeutic doses. The current study investigated the protective effects of Descurainia sophia seed extract on the acetaminophen-induced nephrotoxicity markers in male mice. Materials & Methods: Experimental male mice (n=60, Swiss alb...
[ 7 ] - Effects of the stimulation of β2-adrenoceptors of the the basolateral amygdala on anxiety-like behaviors following electrical foot-shock stress in male rat
Introduction: The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a key structure that integrated anxiety information. It is suggested that baso-lateral area of amygdala receives a dense norepinephrine innervation from the locus coeruleus nucleus. Furthermore, stress increased norepinephrine secretion in the BLA. In the present study, we examined the effects of the stimulation of β2-adrenoceptors in the BLA on a...
[ 8 ] - Assessment of Clinical and Laboratory Data among the Readmitted COVID-19 and Non COVID-19 Patients in Iran
Background and Objective: Hospital readmissions are common and expensive. Identifying the patients who are at high risk of readmission can decrease readmission. Hence, in the present study, the clinical characteristics, biomarker results, and Computed Tomography (CT) criteria of all the readmitted patients were assessed. Materials and Methods: Data of 98 readmitted patients to the Baqiyatallah...
[ 9 ] - The Aassociation between Pre-Cardiac Arrest Comorbidity and Unsuccessful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients with Cardiac Arrest
Background and Objective: Patients suffering from cardiac arrest (CA) have poor prognosis and survival. The association of pre-arrest comorbidity with unsuccessful resuscitation in patients with CA is far from clear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between pre-existing comorbidity and unsuccessful resuscitation following CA in Iranian patients. Materials and Met...
