The aim of this study was to determine the effects silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on morphology and enzymatic activity butterfly splitfin (Ameca splendens). Individuals both sexes, aged about five months, were exposed AgNPs at concentrations 0 (control group), 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 mg/dm3 for 42 days. On last day experiment, fish euthanized, subjected standard histological processing (anterior intestine...

Sturgeon is one of the most important species of the Caspian Sea aquatics. Unfortunately, this species faces the threat of extinction today. This makes specific studies on any type of sturgeons more important than before. Studies like histological studies, radiology, and sonography, all require a complete understanding of the anatomy of this fish. Since pilot studies showed some misconceptions ...

determination of normal gastric emptying time and small intestinal transit time are useful in detecting gastrointestinal motility disorders and partial obstructions of the pylorus or small intestine. this study was conducted to evaluate iodixanol as a contrast agent in the gastrointestinal tract in new zealand white rabbit. twelve clinically healthy adult rabbits were prepared and kept for two ...

analysis without significantly affecting intestine weight o r length. If the source of carcasses is unknown, then an analysis of small intestine weight, either as a measure of intestine size o r to examine the effects of dietary, seasonal, sex, o r age differences, should be treated with caution. If the same information can be gained by examining intestine length, this is preferred. Nevertheles...

diazinon is a moderately persistent organ phosphorus pesticide largely used in agriculture. thepurpose of this study was to evaluate the histopathological damages induced by diazinon in gills, kidney,spleen, and intestine tissues of rainbow trout, oncorhynchus mykiss. the fishes were exposed to sub-lethalconcentrations of diazinon (0.1 and 0.2 mg/l) for a period of 28 days. tissues analyzed by ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the interactions between rat intestine decellularized scaffold and human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells. rat large intestine was dissected in fragments and decellularized by physicochemical methods. the scaffolds were loaded by human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells expressing green fluorescent protein. microscopic sections were prepared fr...

conclusions the application of 5-ht1a, 5-ht2, 5-ht3, 5-ht4, 5-ht6 and 5-ht7 receptor antagonists, applied at concentrations lower than 1.0 µm did not modify the efs-induced contraction and relaxation responses, whichsuggests the unlikely involvement of endogenous 5-ht in mediating responses to efs in the described test conditions. materials and methods segments taken from the rat duodenum, jeju...

background: the presence of small intestine in the radiation field during pelvic cancers treatment causes an interruption in radiotherapy. a non-invasive method was developed to exclude small intestine during conventional radiotherapy. materials and methods: the incidence of the radiation therapy interruption is highly dependent upon the area of the small intestine included in the portals and i...

abstract background: the uterus continues to contract after childbirth. the pain caused by the contractions of the uterus can be as severe as labor pain. the study was aimed to evaluate the effects of ice massage applied to the large intestine 4 (li4) on postpartum pain during the active phase of labor. materials and methods: the study was designed as a randomized controlled trial with three gr...
