        The commence point of several molecular biology methods was necessity for high-quality DNA extraction. Ordinary, the quality of DNA were determinate with some factors such as DNA contamination from RNA, proteins, lipids and other structures which disturb in activity of digestive enzymes and polymerase. Usually, DNA extraction from paraffin-embedded blocks and formalin-fixed tissues were damaged, owing to the fact that destructive effect were entered on DNA inconsequence, they had not desirable quality. The aim of this study was to present an efficient method for extracting DNA from tissue that fixed in formalin. Two different protocols of Bioneer and General Genomic Extraction Kits were compared for DNA extraction from formalin-fixed tissues. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation was performed on DNA. For verification and evaluation of DNA, PCR for β-globin gene was fulfilled on all samples. The results showed that the quality and quantity of DNA which extracted with General Genomic Extraction kit were more desired in comparison with Bioneer kit. The amount of samples that amplified with primers β-globin, illustrate more concentration and purity of mentioned DNA extraction kit in compared with Bioneer kit. Due to the damage caused by fixing tissues in formalin, General Genomic Extraction Kit was more efficient for DNA extraction. This method can be used for DNA extraction from formalin-fixed tissues and paraffin-embedded blocks for routine research and clinical trials. Manuscript profile

        Although formalin is one of the main substances which is using for tissue fixation, it is harmful for public health. Thus, it is necessary to replace by its substitutions. The aim of the study is comparison of fixation ability of formalin and a formalin substitution in time dependent post mortem changes prevention in testis tissue of rat. To this propose, 10 % buffered formalin and a commercial formalin substitution were used. Sampling of rat testis tissue was done on different hours after death. The samples were weighted and then immersed in two above mentioned fixatives. After 48 h, they were processed, embedded, sectioned and stained. The results showed testis weight reduced, and architecture of the tissue was missed. However, both fixatives had somewhat preserving effects on post mortem changes in tissues. This study showed the two fixatives had similar results with limit differences. Therefore, formalin could easily be replaced with substitutions. Although, they are more expensive than formalin, but considering lesser toxicity, the difference is reasonable. Manuscript profile

        Tissue fixation is a vital step in preparation of samples for histological studies and mistakes at this stage could lead to irreversible damage. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of three sample preparation-fixation methods on histomorphometic indices of small intestine of broilers. Thirty 10 day old broilers of Ross 308 strain were used in the study. Segments of small intestine were washed and prepared as opened or closed sections. The closed sections were fixed in 10% saline-formalin. The opened samples were cut at the mesenteric line and were fixed by 10% saline-formalin. In Clarke’s fixation the ends of samples were sealed by string and Clarke’s solution was injected into the lumen. Fixed samples were subjected to paraffin embedding and 5 µm sections were cut using rotary microtome and sections were stained by Eosin-Hematoxylin and Alcian blue. In each section the villus height, villus thickness, crypt depth and goblets’ density were measured under light microscope and the villus surface index was also calculated. Data were subjected to ANOVA in a completely randomized design with three treatments and 30 observations. The results indicated that method of preparation-fixation had a significant effect on morphometric indices (p<0.01). The closed-formalin’s samples had the greatest villus height and crypt depth values in all three intestinal segments, while the lowest values were observed in closed-Clarke’s method (p<0.01). Closed-Clarke’s samples had the thickest villus in all three parts of small intestine followed by closed-formalin’s and opened-formalin’s samples (p<0.01). Villus surface area was highest in closed-formalin fixed samples (p<0.01). Considering simplicity of the method, low cost,  better mucosal protection and lack of severe tissue changes observed in closed-formalin’s method, this method was considered as a method of choice in histomorphometric studies of poultry small intestinal mucosa.

        Voltage-gated calcium channels play a major role in the control of cellular processes in cardiac, vascular and neuronal tissues. Verapamil, nifedipine and diltiazem are calcium channel blockers widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular ailments in humans. A number of studies have shown that calcium channel blockers have antinociception and antiinflammatory effects in a range of animal models (but not in all animal models). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of verapamil, nifedipine and diltiazem on formalin-induced pain and inflammation in mice. In this experimental study, verapamil, nifedipine and diltiazem (10 mg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected 30 minutes before the injection of 20µl of 5% formalin solution into the paw region. The time of licking and biting of injected paw was measured as pain response at 5 minute intervals for 1 hour. The results showed that formalin induced a biphasic pain response (first phase: 0-5 and second phase: 20-45 minute after injection). Intraperitoneal injection of verapamil, nifedipine and diltiazem before formalin reduced the second phase (inflammatory pain) of pain response significantly (p<0.05) and only verapamil reduced the first phase (neurogenic pain) of pain response significantly (p<0.05). Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that verapamil, nifedipine and diltiazem possess antinociceptive and antiinflammatory activity probably via a decrease in calcium influx that in turn interferes with the release of neurotransmitters and other substances that promote nociception and inflammation.

        Sesame oil is applied in physiological and pharmacological researches as a solvent. It contains unsaturated fatty acids and lecithin. Physiological functions may be altered by these components. In this research, effect of dietary sesame oil on acute pain perception was studied.N-MRI male rats (200andplusmn;20 g) were used. Animals divided to two groups: control that ate plats without sesame oil and experimental group that divided to three subgroups that ate dietary plats that contain 10% sesame oil for 28, 42 and 56 days respectively. After 28, 42 and 56 days pain threshold was tested by digital hot plate and formalin. Data was analyzed by one way ANOVA.Hot plate test: Sesame oil diet decreased pain in the 28 days (Pandlt;0.002) and 42 days (Pandlt;0.03) and 56 days (Pandlt;0.005) significantly. In Formalin test sesame oil diet decreased pain in the 28 days (Pandlt;0.0001) and 42 days (Pandlt;0.0001) and 56 days (Pandlt;0.0003) significantly in early phase and also we found significant difference in 42 days (Pandlt;0.03) and 56 days (Pandlt;0.0005) in late phase of formalin test.Conclusion: Our data showed that dietary sesame oil could increase pain threshold. It seems that sesame oil lecithin (as a source for acetylcholine) or unsaturated fatty acid (altered plasma membrane properties or PGs metabolism or affects on GABAergic) involve in this pain threshold alternation.

        Individual housing and social isolation means falling apart from fellow in man and social animals is consideredone powerful stressful event through several studies that has been shown negative effects of individual housingon various aspects of physiological function of living organisms such as laboratory, domestic and farm animals.In this study 20 mice (10 male and 10 female) have been divided into 2 groups (social and individual housing) andhave been maintained for one month in this condition then the rate of chronic pain were measured with formalintest. The results indicated reduction of chronic pain in male and female individually housed mice but this reductionwas signifcantly greater in male mice. For understanding mechanisms involved in this process, further studies inthe felds of neurochemical changes due to social isolation and sex differences in behavioral changes induced bysocial isolation are recommended Manuscript profile
