Abstract:
ABSTRACT Formalin fixation is the most essential step of routine histopathology practice. During the last few years, various fixatives have been developed for use in histopathology practice as an alternative to formalin, to overcome its side effects on health. Here we have demonstrated an interesting and novel idea of using sirka or sugar cane vinegar as an alternative to the formalin with the adequate result.

The high protein content of beef makes it easy to get a contamination caused by an activity of bacteria. The use of formalin as a preservative substance especially for beef can make a damage to health, so it is required to find preservative substances as alternative to substitute formalin. Mengkudu (Morinda citrifolia L.) has antibacteria compounds to the decompose bacteria of beef, so mengkudu fruit can be o

Abstract:
Tissue preservation plays an essential role in biomedical research and histopathological applications. Traditional methods, despite their efficiency, are associated with compromised long-term tissue integrity and probable ecotoxicities. This study explores the application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), known for their antimicrobial properties, as a potential tissue preservative. In this work, AgNPs were synthesized via a chemical reduction method. Heart, liver, and kidney tissues were obtained from BALB/c mice and preserved using 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) and AgNPs solution for 72

Abstract:
Background: Formalin has been used as a standard fixative for various clinical routines globally. In 1987, after formaldehyde was used as a standard, various studies have been conducted to find a substitute for formalin due to its carcinogenic effects. Since then honey has been proven to be a safe alternative to formalin. Objective: Comparing the tissue fixation abilities of honey, Carnoy’s, Bouin’s and Zenker’s solution with the tissue fixation abilities of formalin using eosin, hematoxylin and Masson trichrome periodic acid Schiff is the objective of this study.

Abstract:
Biological specimens are essential for teaching, research, and extension, although they require effective preservation. The glycerination technique stands out for allowing specimens to be preserved dry, which saves costs and facilitates handling due to specimen malleability. We sought to establish an optimal glycerination protocol for fish and reptiles for teaching purposes. Several fixatives were tested, including formalin at different concentrations and Transeau solution. The fixation process involved injecting a 50% fixative and 50% double-distilled glycerin solution into the specimen, foll

We previously reported that intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of PD showed an antinociceptive effect as measured by the tail-flick assay. However, its exact role in the regulation of antinociception in the various types of pain models has not yet been characterized. Thus, we attempted to find antinociceptive profiles of PD in various pain models. PD administered intraperitoneally (i.p.), i.c.v. or intrathecally (i.t.) showed antinociceptive effects in dose-dependent manners

Abstract Context.—Expression profiling by microarrays and real-time polymerase chain reaction–based assays is a powerful tool for classification and prognostication of disease; however, it remains a research tool, largely reliant on frozen tissue. Limiting the utility of expression profiling is the isolation of quality nucleic acids from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. The collection, handling, and processing of tissue directly impacts the biomolecules that can be recovered from it. High-quality nucleic acids can be obtained from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue, but greater
