introduction: drugs of abuse such as nicotine and morphine used systemically by addicts produce their effects via the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway. furthermore, evidence indicates that some behavioral effects of nicotine and morphine are mediated by nitric oxide (no). based on these observations, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of intra-nucleus accumbens (nac) inj...

Introduction: The nucleus paragigantocellularis lateralis (LPGi) is involved in the descending pain modulation. The neurostreoid, 17β-estradiol found in the PGi nucleus and modulates nociception by binding to estrogen receptors and also by allosteric interaction with NMDA receptors. In this study, the role of NMDA receptors in the 17β-estradiol-induced pain modulation was investig...

(a) Tympanic membrane was taken as the site of recording temperature because it is having same arterial supply as that of hypothalamus–the thermoregulatory center. The tympanic membrane is supplied by maxillary artery and stylomastoid branch of occipital or the postauricular artery which are the branches of external carotid artery(2), whereas hypothalamus is supplied by branches of internal car...

UNLABELLED Internal radiation therapy using intrahepatic arterial injection of 90Y-labeled glass microspheres (90Y-microspheres) has proven to be a promising therapeutic modality for inoperative liver tumor. Recently, direct intratumoral injection of 90Y-microspheres has been performed with even more encouraging results. The purpose of this study was to compare the treatment efficacy of these 2...
