PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the macroscopic and microscopic peritoneal findings after intraperitoneal injection of alcohol in rats. METHODS From January to February 2012, 20 male rats were used in this study: 15 rats received intraperitoneal injection of 0.1 mL 99.9% alcohol (group 1: experiment group) and 5 rats received intraperitoneal injection of 0.1 mL normal saline (group 2: co...

An investigation is reported of a comparison by three methods of the degree and certainty of differentiation of strains of S. typhosa of different virulence for mice. These methods were (a) intracerebral injection, (b) intraperitoneal injection of saline suspensions, and (c) intraperitoneal injection of mucin suspensions of the test organisms. With the strains of S. typhosa employed, differenti...

Background. To explore influence of continuous illumination, luzindole, and Tamoxifen on incidence of scoliosis model of rats. Methods. Thirty-two one-month-old female rats were rendered into bipedal rats. The bipedal rats were divided into 4 groups: group A by intraperitoneal injection of luzindole and continuous illumination; group B by intraperitoneal injection of luzindole only; group C by ...

Tropical and subtropical lizards of the genus Anolis were exposed to Bacillus sphaericus Neide strain 1593-4, which has been proposed as a safe entomopathogen specific for mosquitoes. No deleterious effects were observed in lizards exposed to live bacteria through intraperitoneal injection or aerosol spray. Bacteria were lost quickly from lizard livers but were detectable at least 37 days after...

Objective(s):  There is a rising use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in goods and in the medical fields but there is concern about the toxicity of them. So in this study spherical AuNPs with 3 different concentrations were applied for investigating their effects in vivo.   Materials and Methods:  40 male albino mice were randomly divided into sham, control, 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm groups and were...

The manner in which a single injection of S. typhosa endotoxin effects the primary hemolysin response to sheep erythrocytes in the mouse has been shown to depend on the dosage, route, and time of administration of the endotoxin, as well as on the route employed for the injection of antigen. The normal production of antibody, following an intravenous or an intraperitoneal injection of red blood ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a novel synthetic material comprising only carbon atoms. Based on its rigidity, its electrical and heat conductivity and its applicability to surface manufacturing, this material is expected to have numerous applications in industry. However, due to the material's dimensional similarity to asbestos fibers, its carcinogenicity was hypothesized during the last decade, ...
