Abstract

  ABSTRACT

Background and Aim: Aflatoxins are toxic mold metabolites produced by toxigenic strains of Aspergillus species. They have an important role in the occurrence of a number of human diseases such as liver cancer, chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of aflatoxin M1 in raw milk samples which had been collected for Sanandaj pasteurized Milk Corporation. Material and Methods: A total of 84 raw milk samples from different places in Sanandaj and Tehran were collected randomly during 2 weeks (in February-2007). After centrifugation of milk samples, upper creamy layer was completely removed and the lower layer was analyzed by using special ELISA kit made by Tecan S.r I corporation for determination of aflatoxin M1. Data were analyzed by means of ANOVA. Results: Aflatoxin M1 was found in 77 of the milk samples examined. In the remaining samples (7 milk samples) aflatoxin was not found. In 67 milk samples the quantity of aflatoxin was within standard limits and in 17 samples aflatoxin level was higher than the maximum accepted limit (based on European :::union::: standard). There was a significant difference between the rate of milk contamination in different regions (p<0.001). Conclusion: Presence of aflatoxin in dairy products is a serious problem for the public health, especially in infants and children who consume these products most frequently. Therefore milk and dairy products have to be inspected routinely for aflatoxin M1 contamination. To achieve a low level of aflatoxin M1 in milk, the milch cows’ feeding should be under regular inspection for aflatoxin contamination.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background and Aim: Anxiety is a common psychiatric disorder affecting many people in the society and is associated with clinical symptoms such as tachycardia, sweating, shortness of breath, insensitivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate anxiolytic effects of sylimarin extract in wistar rats. Material and Methods: 35 male Wistar rats with a mean weight of 250±25grams were divided into 5 experimental groups (n=7). Silymarin was purchased from Goldaroo company in Isfahan. The rats received sylimarin with different doses of 35, 70, 140 and 280 mg/Kg for two weeks. The control group received saline orally with the same volume. Then, using elevated plus maze (EPM), 30 minutes after treatment, the behavior of the experimental groups was compared to that of control group. Data were introduced into SPSS software and analyzed by variance analysis. Results: According to the results of this study, sylimarin with the three doses of 35, 70 and 140 mg/Kg caused a statically significant decrease in anxiety, in comparison to the control group. Conclusion: Our data showed that silymarin seems to be a potential and effective anxiolytic agent and can be used for anxiety control.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Use of medicinal plants is one of the methods to increase breast milk. Petroselinum crispum is a multipurpose herb in traditional medicine which contains essential amino acids, vitamins and numerous nutrients. This study aimed to determine the effects of Petroselinum crispum extract on milk production parameters in female rats.
Material and Methods: In this experimental study, 32 Wistar female rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups; group1, control group (normal saline) and groups 2 to 4 (experimental groups). The experimental groups received various doses of  Petroselinum crispum (100, 150, 200 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally) for 21 days. Petroselinum crispum extract was prepared. Prolactin hormone measurements were carried out based on RIA prolactin radio immune assay method. Using morphometrical techniques, prolactin receptor (PRLR) mRNA expression level and histological evaluation of mammary gland tissue were investigated. Data were analyzed by one way ANOVA test.
Results: Petroselinum crispum administration increased significantly all the parameters in experimental groups compared to those in the control group (P<0.0001).
Conclusion: Petroselinum crispum extract had positive effects on the milk production parameters in mammary glands.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Enterococcus species are opportunistic pathogens and their pathogenicity seems to be related to the presence of a number of pathogenicity genes. Since donkey’s milk is a new non-allergenic source of nutrition, this study was performed to assess the antibiogram and detection of pathogenicity genes in some Enterococcus faecalis isolates from donkey’s milk.
Materials and Method: In this experimental study, several Enterococcus faecalis strains were isolated from donkey’s milk. Resistance patterns of the isolates to 10 antibiotics including vancomycin were investigated based on CLSI protocol. Statistical comparison was made by Fisher's exact test. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was used to study gel E, esp, ace, as and efaA pathogenicity related genes.
Results: Enterococcus faecalis isolates showed a different antibiogram pattern. Isolates were resistant to azithromycin, and erythromycin, but were susceptible to ampicillin and penicillin. Previously isolated LUB93929 and LUB93101 isolates were found to be susceptible and resistance to vancomycin, respectively. GelE, ace and efaA genes were detected in both Enterococcus faecalis isolates and also in E. faecalis in the control strains. The aggregation substance gene (as) was only amplified in LUB93101 isolate. Interestingly, esp gene was not detected in any of the isolates.
Conclusion: Despite resistance to vancomycin and presence of some pathogenicity related genes in this study, E. faecalis isolates may not be human pathogens due to lack of pathogenic factors. The esp gene is crucial for biofilm formation and rise of nosocomial infections. Donkey’s milk Enterococcus faecalis isolates are not able to form biofilm and seem not to bring any problem.
