The hippocampus is a brain area of interest mostly affected by Alzheimer's disease. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) usefulness in various neurological diseases including Alzheimer's is being debated. In this work, the authors aim to explore the role of MSCs in ACR-induced hippocampal neurodegeneration and elucidate the mediating mechanism.Materials and methods: For this purpose, ten rats served as control, another ten were injected ACR (i.p. 50 mg/kg/day for 2 weeks), and the last ten rats were injected ACR in addition to MSCs (i.p. 1 × 10⁷ MSCs single injection).Results: ACR induced neurodegenerative histopathological hippocampal changes and adversely altered hippocampal oxidative stress markers SOD, MDA, and GSH. ACR had induced hippocampal demyelination as detected by silver staining. ACR significantly (P < 0.05) up-regulated the ELISA hippocampal TNF-alpha and IL-6 and produced microglial & astrocyte activation (as tracked by Iba1 & GFAP immunohistochemistry respectively). ACR significantly reduced hippocampal PCR gene expression of IGF 1 (insulin growth factor-1), BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), and NGF (nerve growth factor). MSCs administration had mitigated all the previous deleterious changes.Conclusions: Acrylamide caused detrimental effects on the hippocampus and demonstrably altered the hippocampal architecture. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells offered a promising therapeutic role against these neurotoxic effects of acrylamide, presumably through modulation of IGF 1, BDNF, and NGF gene expressions.","PeriodicalId":12251,"journal":{"name":"Folia morphologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142282700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They produce various biologically active substances, which allow them to actively participate in immune and inflammatory processes associated with intrinsic and extrinsic skin aging. This research focused on distribution and density of mast cells in healthy skin in different stages of skin aging.Material and methods: This project included samples of photoexposed and photoprotected skin, obtained from 90 cadavers aged 0-82 years. The samples were classified into five age groups: newborns, young age, middle age, senior age and the oldest age. In order to visualize the mast cells, we have employed several histochemical staining protocols.Results: The number of mast cells of the photoexposed skin significantly correlated to the individual's age. The number of mast cells of the photoprotected skin was in general statistically significantly lower in younger compared to older groups; however, the correlation of the mast cell density in photoprotected skin and the age did not reach statistical significance. In middle age, senior age and the oldest age groups, a significantly higher number of mast cells was recorded in the skin of the photoexposed compared to photoprotected region.Conclusions: The increase in mast cell density correlated with age only in photoexposed skin. Age-related higher accumulation of dermal mast cells in photoexposed skin can be an important factor in the photoaging process, as well as the contributing factor in the occurrence of skin cancer.","PeriodicalId":12251,"journal":{"name":"Folia morphologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142282703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Descriptive values of the data and comparative results were included.Results: 249 males and 294 females participated in the study.

The immunohistochemical analysis revealed varying apelin receptor expression patterns, with tubular expression intensifying both with hypertension severity and age.

This study aims to assess the morphometry and anatomy of the AV through a comprehensive meta-analysis of studies reporting extractable data on this vessel.Materials and methods: Major online medical databases such as PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, SciELO, BIOSIS, Current Content Connect, Korean Journal Database and Wiley online library were searched to gather all relevant studies regarding the anatomical characteristics of the AV.Results: The results of the present meta-analysis comprised 40 studies, categorized into eight groups for data analysis. The mean AV diameter at its origin was set at 3.86 mm (SE = 0.84). The most prevalent was type IIB, with a prevalence of 40.23% (95% CI: 29.06-51.92%). The pooled prevalence of the right subcostal and right ascending lumbar veins forming the AV was 73.82% (95% CI: 55.77-88.67%).Conclusions: The AV exhibits a high degree of variability regarding its origin, trajectory, and connections with the hemiazygos system. The most prevalent type of AV, according to the Anson and McVay classification, was Type II (transitional type). Moreover, the vein was found to be formed by the right subcostal and the right ascending lumbar veins in the majority of the cases.

The shape of the SH was classified into common types: inverted U, inverted V, irregular, and bilobed. Morphometric measurements included the length, width, and depth at the apex of the SH. The apex level of the SH was also determined in relation to the sacral vertebrae, and statistical analysis was performed to identify any correlation between the apex level and the morphometric dimensions.Results: The most frequent SH shape was inverted U (68.83%), followed by inverted V (20.77%), irregular (9%), and a single instance of a bilobed shape (1.29%). The apex of the SH was most commonly located at the level of the S4 vertebra (75.32%), followed by the S3 vertebra (20.77%), S5 in two (2.59) and S2 in one (1.29%). No significant correlation was found between the level of the apex and the length, width, or depth of the SH. These findings indicate a high degree of anatomical variability in the SH, independent of the apex level.Conclusions: The anatomical variability of the SH, as observed in this study, underscores the need for individualized assessment during CEA. The lack of correlation between the apex level and the morphometric dimensions of the SH highlights the importance of imaging modalities such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy to ensure precise localization and effective analgesia administration.

An ARSA was found in an 83-year-old female during cadaveric dissection for anatomy teaching, which had an unusually narrow lumen compared to previously reported cases.Materials and methods: The specific morphology of this ARSA variant was characterised by further dissection and measurements. A systematic review of cadaveric case reports with quantitative evaluation of ARSA dimensions was conducted for comparison with this case.Results: This ARSA variant exhibited an unusually narrow lumen (8.22 mm²) compared to the LSA (152.55²), with an ARSA: LSA ratio of 0.24. The systematic review included 17 studies with 23 cases of ARSAs. Of these cases, 20 contained details of ARSA diameter, 19 of which were wider than in this case. In all studies where both ARSA and LSA diameters were measured, ARSA was found to be significantly wider than LSA (mean ratio of ARSA to LSA: 1.49, range: 1.09-2.00). Several other variations were reported in these studies, such as concomitant aortic arch branch anomalies and differing origins of ARSA as defined by vertebral level and relation to the aortic arch.Conclusions: This case report presents an unusually narrow ARSA which has not been previously described in the literature. As there is limited evidence on how ARSA morphology affects clinical outcomes, further research is needed to better inform management of ARSAs.","PeriodicalId":12251,"journal":{"name":"Folia morphologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142079827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
