Using histological and morphometric methods to assess the state of the ovaries of rats with absence epilepsy. \u0000Material and methods. The experiments were carried out on mature female Wistar and WAG/Rij rats (genetic model of human absence epilepsy). Animal ovaries were fixed in neutral buffered 10% formalin and embedded in paraffin according to the standard procedure. Sections obtained on a microtome were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. \u0000Results. When studying the morphological picture of the ovaries, destruction of the cortical and medulla of the ovary of WAG/Rij rats was found. It was noted that the layer of granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte has a looser structure. The observed changes in the follicular epithelium were probably accompanied by impaired functional activity. Morphometric analysis showed that in WAG/Rij rats the weight of the ovaries is almost 2 times less than in Wistar rats: 37.30.93 mg versus 55.842.36 mg. In addition, there are differences in the thickness of the epithelial layer - 7.810.25 m, which is 26.2% less than in Wistar rats (p0.05). This indicates possible morphological and functional disorders. In the ovaries of WAG/Rij rats, we noted that the layer of granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte has a looser structure. Sometimes destructive changes in follicular epithelium and apoptotic death of granulosa cells were observed, which was accompanied by impaired functional activity. When studying ovarian follicles, it was revealed that in WAG/Rij rats the follicles were irregular in shape, their diameter and area were smaller than in Wistar females. In addition, the numerical density of all types of follicles was lower, which indicates a violation of ovulation processes. Conclusions. The results obtained allowed us to conclude that rats with absence epilepsy exhibit structural and quantitative changes in the ovaries, which indicates certain disorders of the reproductive system.","PeriodicalId":74228,"journal":{"name":"Morphology (Dordrecht, Netherlands)","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91134782","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}

There are numerous works in the literature covering issues of age, sexual and bilateral variability of the cerebral arteries in adults. There is no information on morphometric parameters of the cerebral arteries in children. \u0000Objective: To present data on the morphometric characteristics of the paired arteries of the brain in children during early childhood, taking into account sexual and bilateral variability. Material and methods. Samples of precommunication segments of the anterior (ACA), wedge-shaped parts of the middle (MCA), precommunication segments of the posterior (PCA) cerebral, intracranial parts of the vertebral (VA) arteries and cerebral parts of the internal carotid arteries (ICA) seized during autopsy of corpses of 18 children from early childhood (1-2 years) who died for reasons not associated with acute vascular cerebral pathology. Outside (LP) and inside diameters (DP), wall thickness (TC) were determined. Results. The mean values of the above parameters were respectively: ACA - 1,760,04 mm, 0,140,01 mm and 1,490,04 mm; MCA - 2,070,04 mm, 0,140,01 mm, 1,790,04 mm; PCA - 1,830,06 mm, 0,130,01 mm, 1,550,06 mm; VA - 2,080,06 mm, 0,150,01 mm, 1,770,05 mm; ICA - 2,600,05 mm; 0,150,01 mm, 2,300,05 mm. RD and PD ACA predominate in the right hemisphere by 17.3 (p = 0.009) and 19.9% (p = 0.016), respectively. RD and DP PCA prevailed in boys, respectively, by 9.1 (p = 0.019) and 12.9% (p = 0.006). Conclusion. Average data of RD, TC and DP of paired arteries of the brain in children in the period of early childhood were obtained. Most parameters have no confirmed bilateral and sexual differences. The findings may be useful for interpreting non-invasive research methods and should also be considered in the design and adaptation of intravascular devices for use in pediatric practice.","PeriodicalId":74228,"journal":{"name":"Morphology (Dordrecht, Netherlands)","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72382854","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}

One of the most accessible for researchers and widespread methods is the determination of body mass index, which ensures the comparability of the results obtained by different authors. The aim of our study was to systematize and compare the literature data of domestic and foreign authors on body mass index in young patients. The materials for the study were original articles and review papers published in the scientometric databases: PubMed, Google Scholar and eLibrary over the past 20 years. It is shown that the interest of the scientific community in body composition research has been steadily increasing over the past decades. Each successive year the total number of publications on body composition increases by an average of 24% relative to the previous year. According to our analysis of the results of a survey of medical students in Russia, body mass index is associated with the degree of urbanization and has geographical features: an increase in the proportion of students with a low body mass index was noted as the population of the city grew and it shifted in the direction from the eastern regions of the Russian Federation to the western. The proportion of students with a normal BMI decreases as the population of the city in which the medical school is located grows.","PeriodicalId":74228,"journal":{"name":"Morphology (Dordrecht, Netherlands)","volume":"139 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73052970","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}
