Occasionally, the only postmortem samples available for analysis are contaminated with formaldehyde, either due to embalming prior to sampling or because analysis is carried out only when formalin-fixed tissues retained for histological study are available. Formaldehyde reacts with several drugs of forensic interest that contain either a primary or a secondary amine group to form their N-methyl...

background and objectives: human herpes 6 virus (hhv-6) could remain latent and chronic in the host cells after primary infection. hhv-6 genome encodes certain trans activation proteins which may results in development of malignantlymphoma. the association of human herpes six virus (hhv-6) infection and hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphomas is strongly supported by epidemiological studies. the aim ...

Development and standardization of reliable methods for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in clinical samples is an important goal in laboratories throughout the world. In this work, lung and spleen fragments from a patient who died with the diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis were used to evaluate the influence of the type of fixative as well as the fixation and paraffin inclusion protocol...

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to test the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in debridement quality promoted by 3 nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems. STUDY DESIGN Sixty-seven vital mandibular molars that were prospectively collected in vivo were used. The teeth were extracted and then pulp tissue fixed by 10% formalin. The use of different NiTi rotary system...

The staining properties of tissue mast cells are influenced by the method of fixation. Differences in fixation and staining techniques may explain the contradictory results in the published reports on the number of human mucosal mast cells (MMC) in the gastrointestinal mucosa in health and disease. We have examined the influence of fixatives on the staining properties of human MMC in operative ...

Key to understand predator choice is the relationship between predator and prey abundance. There are few studies related to prey selection and availability. Such an approach is still current, because the ability to predict aspects of the diet in response to changes in prey availability is one of the major problems of trophic ecology. The general objective of this study was to evaluate prey sele...

The aim of this study was to evaluate Exendin-4 (EX-4) effects on islet volume and number in the mouse pancreas. Thirty-two healthy adult male NMRI mice were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. EX-4 was injected intraperitoneally (i. p.) at doses of 0.25 (E1 group), 0.5 (E2 group), and 1 μg/kg (E3 group), twice a day for 7 consecutive days. One day after the final injection, ...
