Anatomical measurements of trigeminal ganglion: a cadaver study
AbstractIt is difficult to obtain specific information regarding the trigeminal ganglion (TG), especially pediatric TG. The aim of present study was to determine the parameters of the TG and assist in the neuroablative treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Thirty-seven sides of cadaver heads that had undergone gross anatomical examination were included, with 29 sides of adults and 8 sides of infants. The distance and angles were measured among 12 points, with nine points adjacent to the TG and three points on the foramen ovale (FO). The three points on FO were represented as three different surgical approaches for TN: po...

Roles of dystonin isoforms in the maintenance of neural, muscle, and cutaneous tissues
AbstractDystonin (DST), also known as bullous pemphigoid antigen 1 (BPAG1), encodes cytoskeletal linker proteins belonging to the plakin family. TheDST gene produces several isoforms, including DST-a, DST-b, and DST-e, which are expressed in neural, muscle, and cutaneous tissues, respectively. PathogenicDST mutations cause hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 6 (HSAN-VI) and epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS); therefore, it is important to elucidate the roles of DST isoforms in multiple organs. Recently, we have used severalDst mutant mouse strains, in which the expression of Dst isoforms is disrupted in disti...

Anomalous origin of the left suprarenal, inferior phrenic arteries and left ovarian artery in a human cadaver
This report addresses three variants identified within a female cadaver. Specifically, these were an anomalous origin of the right suprarenal artery, an abnormal bilateral ovarian vein branch, and a arterial tortuosity of the left ovarian artery. Indeed, the cadaver evinced abnormal origins in the case of the middle suprarenal artery (MSA), right inferior phrenic artery (IPA), and the renal capsule artery (emanating from the right renal artery). The MSA and IPA shared a common trunk with the inferior suprarenal artery. It was additionally observed that the right ovarian vein anastomoses the branches from the right kidney p...

Facial nerve dissection in parotid surgery: a microscopic investigation study
AbstractIn parotid surgery, it is crucial to identify and preserve the facial nerve, which runs through the parotid gland. The purpose of this study was to histologically clarify two clinical questions: whether “superficial” and “deep” lobes exist anatomically and what are the structures surrounding facial nerve. Parotid gland tissues were obtained from dissection of donated cadavers. The gland was cut perpendicular to the facial nerve plane at 5 mm intervals, and the pieces were embedded in paraf fin, thinly sliced, and stained. The morphology of the nerve was observed at each site, and the relationships between ...

Anatomical variations of foramen of the diaphragma sellae and neighboring structures: a cadaveric study
AbstractThe aim of our study was to examine the variations and types of foramen of diaphragma sellae (FDS) and their relationship with nearby surgical landmarks on cadavers.Twenty adult (9 male, 11 female) formalin-fixed cadaveric heads were bilaterally used to analyze the anatomical relationships around the supradiaphragmatic region of sella turcica. Lengths and distances of nearby surgical landmarks were measured by a digital microcaliper. SPSS version 25 was used to analyze the comparison between genders and body sides. Dorsum sellae distances to tuberculum sellae and the optic chiasm(OC) were higher in males than femal...

Morphology variations with medial cuneiform in hallux valgus
This study used 3D analysis to investigate the morphological differences in the medial cuneiform between hallux valgus and normal feet. In this study, twenty-three hallux valgus feet and twenty-three normal feet were scanned with computed tomography and 3D models of medial cuneiforms were reconstructed. Medial cuneonavicular and the first tarsometatarsal joint surfaces of the medial cuneiform were manually extracted. To obtain the obliquity angle of the medial cuneiform and curvature of the medial cuneonavicular joint, the joint surfaces were approximated to planes and spheres. Furthermore, the orientations of two joint su...

Distribution of P2X3 purinoceptor-immunoreactive sensory nerve endings in the carotid body of Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata)
AbstractIn the carotid body of laboratory rodents, adenosine 5 ′-triphosphate (ATP)-mediated transmission is regarded as critical for transmission from chemoreceptor type I cells to P2X3 purinoceptor-expressing sensory nerve endings. The present study investigated the distribution of P2X3-immunoreactive sensory nerve endings in the carotid body of the adult m ale Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata) using multilabeling immunofluorescence. Immunoreactivity for P2X3 was detected in nerve endings associated with chemoreceptor type I cells immunoreactive for synaptophysin. Spherical or flattened terminal parts of P2X3-immunoreac...

Automated three-dimensional major white matter bundle segmentation using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging
AbstractWhite matter bundle segmentation using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging fiber tractography enables detailed evaluation of individual white matter tracts three-dimensionally, and plays a crucial role in studying human brain anatomy, function, development, and diseases. Manual extraction of streamlines utilizing a combination of the inclusion and exclusion of regions of interest can be considered the current gold standard for extracting white matter bundles from whole-brain tractograms. However, this is a time-consuming and operator-dependent process with limited reproducibility. Several automated approaches usin...

Prediction of root canal lengths and pulp volume of the maxillary permanent first molar based on stature, crown diameters, and facial morphometry
This study purposed to develop statistical models to predict palatal (PRL), mesial (MRL), and distal (DRL) root canal length and pulp volume (PV) of the maxillary first permanent molar using stature, gender, mesiodistal (MD), and buccopalatal (BP) crown diameters and some facial morphometries. 57 individuals were included in the study. Cone beam computed tomography was used to measure root canal lengths and PV. The PV calculation was carried out using the software ITK-SNAP 3.4.0. PRL was positively correlated with BP, stature, middle facial height, interalar distance, and bicommissural distance (BCD) (p < 0.05). DR...
