Surface modified fluorescent silica nanoparticle derivatives (Ru@SNPs), namely, glucose (Glu) and glucose-poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether amine (Glu-PEG) coated SNPs were designed tested for their ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice brain. The new obtained nanoparticles characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR-ATR) analysis. BBB penetration distribution of tailored brain...

The design of an aquaponics system is a major drive in achieving sustainable agricultural practice, tackling environmental problems, and food security. Aquaponics provides conservative technique that integrates both hydroponics aquaculture regions with minimal arable land. This current study aims to build suitable beneficial its environment. objectives building the are cultivate fish plants closed can reduce requirement for chemical-based nutrients increase water-use efficiency. Preliminary...

Ischemic stroke is most often caused by an embolism of cardiac origin or atheromatous plaque. Sometimes, it can represent a rare revealing manifestation infectious endocarditis, particularly in young individuals. Through this clinical case 27-year-old patient initially hospitalized neurology department for the management ischemic stroke, we will discuss findings. During etiological assessment, echocardiography was performed, significant mitral regurgitation, suggesting endocarditis without...

In the developed and developing world, opioid consumption in combination with alcohol has become one of substances abused. this experiment, we examined effects alcohol, morphine, morphine+alcohol on cognitive functions neuroinflammatory responses medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) juvenile male rats. Alcohol (1.0 ml 15% v/v ethanol twice daily, subcutaneously, 7 hours apart), morphine (0.5 ml/kg 0.4 mg/kg chlorate co-treatment chlorate+1.0 apart) were administered for 21 days. Treatment...

Smoking has been recognized as a significant contributor to mortality. The aim of this study was evaluate some the toxic effects smoke extract of Datura stramonium leaf on heart, liver, kidneys and testes of male Sprague Dawley rats. A total ten male rats weighing between 100 120 g were used for study. animals randomly assigned into two (2) groups; B. Animals in group B (treatment group) exposed from completely burnt 0.74 leaf of D. stramonium, wrapped 0.5 sterilized cotton wool 5 min, three...

The reproductive system is the chief precursor system, whose germ cell activities lead to emergence of other systems, that work synergistically maintain body homeostasis. Androgen plays an integral role in development and optimal functioning male organs. Green coconut water (Yezi shui) a natural, thirst quenching therapeutic beverage consumed both recreationally medicinally amidst Chinese populace for its diverse health benefits. This study was aimed at investigating action green (GCW) on...

Background: Cyanide is one of the major environmental pollutants termed thyroid disruptor. Regardless its origin, it a primary toxic agent. This study was designed to understand impact prolonged low dose cyanide exposure on structure and function gland. Materials Methods: Twelve F1 male Wistar rats were used for this study. They divided into two groups six animals each. The first group served as control received 0.25M sucrose while second being treated 2 mg/kg body weight (BW) potassium...

The Anatomy Act has been part of the Laws Federal Republic Nigeria since 1933. Interestingly, though being reviewed had never majorly amended. This no doubt has affected applicability, practicality and relevance this in line with current global trends in field Anatomical practices as well how to use such an act facilitate nation building national development. article presents product a critical analysis Nigerian Act. was critically objectively evaluated based on same acts selected...

Manganese is an important element in the biological system, however, excessive exposure may lead to a neurological disorder known as manganism. The present study sought investigate ameliorative effects of Ficus exasperata Vahl (E.Vahl) on motor function and neuronal integrity Substantia nigra (SNc) Corpus striatum (CPu) after acute manganese. Fifty adult male Balb/c mice weighing between 25 – 35g were divided into 5 groups Group A (normal saline), B (Manganese), C (E.Vahl), D...

This study was carried out in order to elucidate some of the effects oral administration Cannabis sativa on visual system male Wistar rats as marker toxicity using neurohistochemical study. 12 adult were used for this The distributed into two groups (A and B). group A served treatment administered with 300 mg/kg body weight while B which control equal volume phosphate buffered saline. duration 14d. sacrificed cervical dislocation 24 hrs after last administration. brains excised from skulls...

In this study, the lateral geniculate bodies (LGB) of rats, bats and pangolins were compared using histological quantitative histochemical parameters to observe possible modifications that enable these mammals cope with their habitation particularly respect diet. The study was conducted ten adult Wistar fruit eight comprising both sexes. After being sacrificed by cervical dislocation, skulls opened bone forceps expose brains. excised from each brain tissue, homogenized homogenate studied...

Whenever any plant and/or herb is ingested, the body system interacts with it in an attempt to get rid of harmful toxins such may contain, especially if cannot convert foreign substance into useful components. This study was evaluate effects oral consumption aqueous leaf extract Senecio biafrae on histology frontal cortex, kidney, liver and testis Sprague Dawley rats as a marker toxicity. Twenty adult male weighing between 100-158 g were used (4-6 weeks old). They divided 2 groups. The...

Smoking may exert compromising effects on several organ systems of the body, but those in lungs are most deleterious. Therefore aim present study was to investigate some inhalation smoke extract Tobacco nicotiana (Tobacco), Cannabis sativa and Datura stramonium ( Jimson Weed ) respiratory system, especially lungs. Twenty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups A-D. The control group (A) not subjected any extracts, while B, C, D exposed from a completely burnt 0.74g leaf...

Anatomy, a foremost basic medical science (BMS) has evolved in content and context, while remaining the most fundamental BMS subject.Stakeholders have continually made efforts especially recent time to achieve an evolution of this subject.The primary aim work was study perceptions experiences Anatomists towards contributing programme career advancements.Following ethical approval, structured questionnaire administered Nigerian anatomists using Google form.It is total population study.The had...
