Longitudinal skeletal growth and growth plate morphological characteristics of chondro-tissue specific CUL7 knockout mice
CONCLUSIONS: The knockout of Cul7 gene may affect both the proliferation of chondrocytes and the endochondral osteogenesis, confirming that Cul7 is essential for the normal development of bone in the body.PMID:38367951 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152224 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

An examination of the status, contexts of anatomical body donation, and perspectives in China
This article briefly reviews the history, current status, and strategies to promote body donation in China (excluding data from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions) and discusses the problems encountered in body donation work in China. After establishing the People's Republic of China in 1949, the central government issued regulations on the use of dissected bodies. In 2001, the "Shanghai Regulations on Body Donation" were officially implemented and became China's first local legislative regulation on body donation. Subsequently, local legislative regulations and rules on body donation were issued in various regions to pr...

Three-dimensional measurements of symmetry for the mandibular ramus
CONCLUSION: The mean difference was less than one millimetre, far below the two-millimetre distance described in the literature that defines relative symmetry. Our study population displays a high degree of three-dimensional congruency. Our findings help to understand that there is sufficient three-dimensional congruency of the mandibular ramus, thus contributing to facilitating CAD-CAM-based procedures based on symmetry for this specific anatomic structure.PMID:38367950 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152229 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Evolution and development of extraocular motor neurons, nerves and muscles in vertebrates
Ann Anat. 2024 Feb 10;253:152225. doi: 10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152225. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this review is to analyze the origin of ocular motor neurons, define the pattern of innervation of nerve fibers that project to the extraocular eye muscles (EOMs), describe congenital disorders that alter the development of ocular motor neurons, and provide an overview of vestibular pathway inputs to ocular motor nuclei. Six eye muscles are innervated by axons of three ocular motor neurons, the oculomotor (CNIII), trochlear (CNIV), and abducens (CNVI) neurons. Ocular motor neurons (CNIII) originate in the midbra...

Morphological differences between the dorsal and palmar septa of the first extensor compartment in relation to the brachioradialis and pronator quadratus
CONCLUSION: In contrast to the fragile structure of the dorsal septum, the stout structure of the palmar septum could be related to the low occurrence of symptoms of de Quervain's disease. The present results could play a role in revealing the pathogeny and establish the precise treatment for de Quervain's disease and provide an anatomical basis for kinesiological/biomechanical studies.PMID:38340878 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152228 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Spatiotemporal expression profiles of c-Mpl mRNA in the tooth germ: comparative expression dynamics of vascularization-related genes
CONCLUSION: During tooth development, several kinds of cells express c-Mpl mRNA in a spatiotemporally controlled fashion, including differentiating odontoblasts. We hypothesize that c-Mpl-expressing cells appearing in the forming dental papilla at the cap stage are odontoblast progenitor cells that migrate to the site of odontoblast differentiation. There they attract vascular endothelial cells into the forming dental papilla and lead cells toward the inner enamel epithelium layer through production of angiogenic molecules (e.g., Ang-1) during migration to the site of differentiation. C-Mpl may regulate apoptosis and/or pr...

The retromandibular loop of the external carotid artery
CONCLUSION: These previously undocumented types of ECA are relevant during parotid surgery and should be investigated preoperatively on a case-by-case basis.PMID:38331006 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152226 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Morphofunctional and histological patterns of blood vessels in the superficial cervicofacial musculoaponeurotic system in midlateral face regions
CONCLUSIONS: Blood vessel topography must be related with the surrounding conjunctive and muscular tissue, especially regarding facial SMAS. Intrinsic relations between these three components of the SMAS and nervous fibers can provide us important hints on the functionality of the whole system.PMID:38309593 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152221 (Source: Annals of Anatomy)

Evaluation of the celiac trunk and its branching pattern by magnetic resonance angiography
CONCLUSION: Knowledge of the locations, positions, and variations of CT is essential in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and decision-making mechanisms regarding the type of intervention to be performed for this vessel and related structures. In addition, the fact that data on these vessels can be obtained by MR angiography due to the improved image quality will prevent patients and physicians from the problems caused by the ionizing radiation of computed tomography. The data presented will constitute a basis for detailed and individualized interpretation and evaluation of each patient, as they provide important detai...
