RESUMO

Background: Embalming is a process used to temporarily preserve a human cadaver to forestall decomposition and make it suitable for display at funerals; thus, are agents that prevent autolysis and putrefaction. The outbreak of maggots from a heap of inadequately embalmed bodies due to deep cuts and bodies involved in inferno, necessitated the need to re-investigate the efficacy of formalin based embalming fluid and its inability to kill maggots. Methodology: Various strength of Formaldehyde, Xylene, Kerosene, and, Lime fluid, Isopropanol, Gamalin 20, Potassium ferrocyanide, and Physiological saline as control were used in the investigation. In the present investigation, Two maggots under the same atmospheric condition were put in each of the ten selected chemical reagents/solutions, including Lime, Kerosene, and the Gamalin 20 that are naturally available were initially dispensed into ten glass universal containers. Maggot movements in each reagent solution were critically observed. Result: Maggots death occurred within the first ten minutes in test number three groups III that contains Concentrated Formalin and Xylene andMaggots died after fifteenminute of the experiment, butmaggots did not died until about eight hours after the test in two of the experiment. Discussion: Results of this investigation showed clearly thatMaggots were not killed as soon as expected by the embalmerwhen ordinary ten percent alcoholic formalin embalming fluid is used. Equal volume of concentrated formalin plus Xylene was found out to be effective at killing maggot instantly. Conclusion: It is therefore advisable to use Xylene plus Conc. Formalin when preserving cadaver infested with Maggot and this could at the same time prevent the occurrence ofMaggots Infestation and better preservation of mass of burnt mutilated corpses in our Mortuary.

RESUMO

The objective of the study was to determine the best fixative for tissue sections, which were to be stained with the dye extracts oí Morinda lucida, a stain for collagen fibres and muscle fibres. The effects of 10 percent formalin saline, Carnoy's fluid, Zenker's fluid, Helly's fluid and Bouin's fluid on the staining ability of the dye extracted from Morinda lucida on tissue sections were studied. Human tissues were fixed in the afore mentioned fixatives and the sections stained with acidified alcoholic solution of Morinda lucida extract. No visible difference in the staining reactions was observed when the stained slides from the different fixatives were compared. The colour, staining time and staining intensity were the same in all the sections studied.


El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el mejor fijador para secciones de tejidos, los cuales fueron teñidos con el extracto de Morinda lucida, una tinción para fibras colágenas y musculares. Fueron estudiados los efectos de formalina salina al 10 por ciento, líquido de Carnoy, líquido de Zenker, líquido de Helly y líquido de Bouin en la capacidad de tinción de los extractos de Morinda lucida sobre los tejidos. Fueron fijados tejidos humanos en los fijadores antes mencionados y las secciones teñidas con solución alcohólica acidificada de extracto de Morinda lucida. No se observaron diferencias visibles en las tinciones cuando fueron comparadas con los diferentes fijadores. El color, tiempo de tinción e intensidad de tinción fueron iguales en todas las secciones estudiadas.
