The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate micro- and ultrastructural changes of the carotid sinus wall during oral consumption of low doses of monosodium glutamate (MG) and following its withdrawal. Adult male albino rats (n=39) were enrolled into the study. Carotid sinus wall morphology was assessed by light and electron microscopy at the end of week 4 and week 8 of MG oral consumption, as well as 2 weeks after its withdrawal; the results were compared with the control group. After 8 weeks of MG consumption, the wall of the carotid sinus was disorganized, endothelial layer of intima deformed, often without clear margins, the media edematous and dissected with thickened elastic membranes, and the cells of the vascular wall were showing signs of apoptosis while extra fat was present in the adventitia. Upon discontinuation of MG after 4 weeks of its consumption, the structural organization of carotid sinus wall was partially preserved, whereas no compensatory processes were registered after 8 weeks of MG administration followed by 2 weeklong withdrawal. Therefore, 8-week-long lowdose MG consumption resulted in pronounced changes of the micro- and ultra-structure of the carotid sinus wall of albino rats. Discontinuation of MG following 4 weeks of its administration partially improved the morphologic characteristics of the carotid sinus wall within 2 weeks. Withdrawal of MG after 8 weeks of its administration did not result in any improvement of the micro- and ultra- structure

The celiac trunk is a main splanchnic artery that supplies the intra-abdominal organs of the upper gastrointestinal system. Anatomic variations of the celiac trunk are encountered in 10% of the population, but can pose challenges to many surgical and interventional procedures. We present here a case of hexafurcation of the celiac trunk discovered preoperatively after image staging for gastric cancer. The branches of the celiac trunk were: left and right inferior phrenic artery, arc of Buhler along with the common pattern of common hepatic, left gastric and splenic artery. The highlight of the case is the rarity of this specific pattern, which is seen in less than 1% of the population, and also the presence of an anastomotic path, the arc of Bühler, as a branch of the celiac trunk. It is evident that the variations of the celiac trunk play a major role in operations of the upper abdomen, radiological interventional procedures and other uncommon cases. Thus, the surgeon must be aware of these variations and their frequency to avoid complications. Also, any physician should report any variation discovered, accidentally or not, to help the literature to be updated.

Adult male rats were orchidectomized (ORX) and treated with 17β-estradiol or young coconut juice (YCJ) for ten weeks. Their femur and L5 vertebra were dissected, and the percentage of bone volume was measured using a Micro-CT scan. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect ERα and ERβ to determine if the osteoporotic protective effects of YCJ were due to the attachment of the YCJ active components(s) to estrogen receptors. It was found that both ERα and ERβ were found in osteocytes and osteoblasts, but not osteoclasts. Compared to normal rats, the percentage of bone volume and number of osteoblast- and osteocyte- reactive cells of both femur and L5 were significantly reduced in ORX rats. Those numbers in the ORX rats were restored to normal by injecting estradiol benzoate or by feeding YCJ to the rats, which was not dose-related. Significant correlations were detected between osteoblast-/osteocyte- (ERα-/ERβ)-reactive cells vs. serum E2 level. The optimal dose of this study was 10 mL/kg BW/ day for ERα-of both osteoblasts and osteocytes and 40 mL/kg BW/day for ERβ-of both osteoblasts and osteocytes. The results suggest that YCJ may be as efficient as estradiol benzoate in attenuating osteoporosis, probably by being a selective estrogen receptor moderator.

Human components have been used as teaching resources for centuries. This study aimed to investigate the ethics and practicality surrounding this resource by analysing the opinions of students and professionals with exposure to human remains. Three questions were posed relating to the use of synthetic cadavers, the use of replicated bones, and the overall opinion regarding the ethics of using human material in teaching. These questions were disseminated through a survey aimed at students and professionals working with/studying using human remains in the UK, with 477 respondents. Kruskal-Wallis, Jonckheere Terpstra and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to identify any differences within the participants according to age and gender. Overall, all groups lent towards supporting the use of human remains in teaching. However, significant differences were noted between gender groupings and age categories, in particular between the 21-40 and 61+ age categories regarding the use of cadavers in teaching, and between male and female groups regarding the use of synthetic cadavers and replica bone. Even though multiple differences were noted, there was a consensus that use of human remains in teaching is ethical. The differences related to the degree to which materials should be used across different fields, with medical students and professionals believing that they should have sole access to real materials, whilst both archaeology and heritage professionals and non-professionals believed that all subjects should have access if it will help with students’ education.

Organ and body donation are key elements in health sciences. This study examines the perception of the population toward organ and body donation and how it may be influenced by personality traits. A cross-sectional study was designed, in which a questionnaire including items of demographic data and attitudes toward organ and body donation were distributed among the general population. A validated questionnaire for the screening of personality disorders was applied as well. 202 questionnaires were obtained, 76 (37.6%) from men and 126 (62.4%) from women. A total of 95.2% of women and 93.4% of men responded to be in favor of organ donation (p>0.05). However, only 40.3 % of women and 37.8% of men were in favor of body donation. Sixty-eight percent of participants had a probable personality disorder. Of those against body donation, 67% had a probable personality disorder. Body donation is not a well-known option among the Mexican population. However, for a program to be feasible, it is necessary to raise public awareness regarding donation and its implications to achieve greater engagement.

Velamentous cord insertion is an abnormal cord insertion in which the umbilical vessels diverge as they traverse between the amnion and chorion before reaching the placenta. The present case study is an incidental finding during a cesarean section. A 30-year-old woman with 37 weeks of pregnancy, gravid 1, presented with bleeding per vagina. Previous ultrasonography reports confirmed the presence of a low-lying placenta. However, the site of cord insertion was not mentioned in her reports. On cesarean section, a healthy male baby was delivered. The placenta had velamentous cord insertion. Approximately 12 cm of vessels traversed the membranes. In the present case study, the umbilical cord was thoroughly examined, both grossly and histologically. For better understanding, the umbilical cord was also compared with a normal umbilical cord. Morphologically, the length and diameter of the cord were in normal range and blood vessels were patent. Histologically, the slides showed the absence of Wharton’s jelly on the cord. Velamentous cord insertion can lead to many unwanted complications like preterm birth, post-partum hemorrhage, and even fetal death. Abdominal ultrasound can be used to visualize the insertion of the cord; however, it often goes unnoticed, as the insertion site is usually obscured by the fetus. Moreover, maternal obesity and posterior placenta make the diagnosis even more difficult. This case study highlights the necessity to pre-diagnose velamentous cord insertion. It can be done with the help of trans-vaginal ultrasound and color Doppler imaging of the cord vessels.

Calcifications in the thyrohyoid ligament are uncommon and usually involve triticeal cartilage. This report analyzes an uncommon thyrohyoid ossification in an individual from the 18th century. To study this ossification, an X-ray analysis was made and the measurements of the different segments of the bone were taken to compare to other cases. The radiographic images show a complete thyrohyoid ossification arising from the great horn of the hyoid with the non-clear presence of the triticeal cartilage. This form is rarely taken into account in typology studies so far, although its etiology is theorized. Different types of calcifications must be considered when clarifying terminologies, investigating their etiology, and whether they involve the triticeal cartilage. Literature review has been carried out to clarify the different types of calcifications in the thyrohyoid ligament and its terminology.

In the field of human morphology, despite its growing interest in translational anatomy research, its contributions are often unknown. Scientific articles and patents are highly reliable sources of knowledge for measuring scientific progress and technology transfer. The aim of this article is a bibliometric study of the potential of anatomical translational research. Our methodological framework has consisted of a combination of the analysis of two variables: 1) academic papers, and 2) patents of anatomical scientific achievements. The established time range has been 2000-2020 and the database used The Lens (https://www.lens.org), establishing “anatomical science” as the keyword. In the systematic analysis, 11,547 scientific documents and 1,511 patent registrations have been carried out; inclusion criteria were applied to both groups to identify their quantitative and qualitative trends. Our results identified that scientific articles on translational anatomical achievements have an exponential growth rate similar to the growth of patent applications for translational anatomical sciences. The maximum number of contributions of journal articles and patents corresponds to the temporal range of 2010 and 2020, with 2020 being the most productive year; academic documents represented 54.90% and patents produced represented 45.08%, which are significant data if they are compared with the year 2000, when the respective percentages were 76.40% and 23.50%, an indicator of a clear increase in the culture of patentability and the growing interest in translational anatomical research. The records of granted patents were 747 and 487 patent applications, which are significant data for the growth of the culture of patentability as well as the quality of the patents, since those granted represent 60.40%. These results identify the strong growth of anatomical science and its interest in the transfer of scientific achievements.

The suprameatal approach, which does not require mastoidectomy, uses the method of tunneling over the facial nerve to enter the middle ear in cochlear implantation. Even if the SMA approach is also used to drain the mastoid antrum, the depth of the triangle and protrusion types may be important for surgical approaches in this region. This descriptive study was conducted with 58 dry skulls found in the laboratories of the University Faculty of Medicine. Important landmarks were used on the left and right sides of the skulls. All the distances were measured with a vernier caliper to the nearest millimeter. No statistical significance was found between the right and left sides (p>0.05). The border lengths of the suprameatal triangle were respectively 14.88±1.67 mm, 18.17±1.09 mm, 14.56±1.59 mm on the right and 15.34±1.65 mm, 19.01±0.56 mm, 15.89±0.52 mm on the left. Consequently, it was determined that the left side was wider than the right, and there was statistical significance between the sides. The mean ST area was found to be 112.7±16.90 mm2. The crest was observed mostly on the right side (n=30 (51.72%)), and the triangular suprameatal protrusion was observed mostly on the right side (n=10 (31.03%)). We think that knowing this area’s borders and morphological features well, nominated before the surgical procedure, will be a guide in preventing possible operative and postoperative complications.

The border lengths of the suprameatal triangle were respectively 14.88±1.67 mm, 18.17±1.09 mm, 14.56±1.59 mm on the right and 15.34±1.65 mm, 19.01±0.56 mm, 15.89±0.52 mm on the left. Consequently, it was determined that the left side was wider than the right, and there was statistical significance between the sides. The mean ST area was found to be 112.7±16.90 mm2. The crest was observed mostly on the right side (n=30 (51.72%)), and the triangular suprameatal protrusion was observed mostly on the right side (n=10 (31.03%)). We think that knowing this area’s borders and morphological features well, nominated before the surgical procedure, will be a guide in preventing possible operative and postoperative complications.","PeriodicalId":11978,"journal":{"name":"European journal of anatomy","volume":"191 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77377700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
