Introduction. Microcos paniculata is traditionally used for treating diarrhea, wounds, cold, fever, hepatitis, dyspepsia, and heat stroke. Objective. To investigate the qualitative phytochemical constituents of hydromethanol (HMPB) and petroleum benzene extract of Microcos paniculata barks (PBMPB) and to evaluate their antinociceptive and antidiarrheal activities. Methods. Phytochemical constit...

vast application of the antibiotic drugs in animals without due attention  to withdrawal times necessitates quality control of food stuff in terms of antibiotics' residues. antibiotic residues in food stuff cause bacterial resistance, allergic reactions, toxicity,  carcinogenic effects and change of natural micro flora of intestine in consumers. so, the aim of the present study is detectio...

The Ames Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity assay (Salmonella test; Ames test) is a short-term bacterial reverse mutation assay specifically designed to detect a wide range of chemical substances that can produce genetic damage that leads to gene mutations. The test employs several histidine dependent Salmonella strains each carrying different mutations in various genes in the histidine operon. ...

antidepressants are widely used for the treatment of various neuropathic pain conditions in humans. recent studies have demonstrated that bupropion is effective for the treatment of neuropathic pain. also antidepressants like bupropion showed anti-inflammatory properties. so in the present study, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of bupropion in mice and rat were investigated. the ace...

Ignition behavior of bituminous coal dust deposited between two hot surfaces forming wedges of 60º, and 90º is experimentally studied. Three thermocouples placed along the symmetry plane of the wedge cross-section at various heights from the apex (lowermost, middle and top) are used to record the transient temperature data. Results show that the ignition always occurs around the region surround...

Fluoroacetate has been widely used to inhibit glia metabolism in vivo. It has yet to be shown what the effects of chronic intrathecal infusion of fluoroacetate on nociceptive behavioral testing are. The effects of chronic infusion of fluoroacetate (5 nmoles/h) for 2 weeks were examined in normal rats. Chronic intrathecal fluoroacetate did not alter mechanical threshold (von Frey filaments), res...

objective: this study was designed to investigate the antinociceptive effect of chronic administration of the flavonoid hesperetin in streptozotocin-diabetic rats using formalin and hot tail immersion tests. materials and methods: rats were divided into 5 control groups, hesperetin-treated control, diabetic, sodium salicylate (ss)-treated diabetic, and hesperetin- and glibenclamide-treated dia...
