Recently, various innovations have made surgical training more realistic. Saturated salt solution (SSS) and urea methods are useful for plastic surgery training, because they better preserve the color and texture of soft tissues than formalin fixation (FA). Microvessels are invisible to the naked eye, and in this study, we visualized skin perforators by injecting dye into the flaps of nutrient vessels during hand and foot surgery. During each CST session, the instructor used three cadavers for demonstration. From 2017 to 2021, these cadavers were not stained, whereas from 2022 to 2023, the cadavers were stained to enhance the visualization of nutrient and perforating vessels. We compared the self-rated skill gains of participants who observed demonstrations on unstained cadavers from 2017 to 2021 and participants who observed demonstrations on stained cadavers from 2022 to 2023. Among 36 participants from the 2022–2023 group, 28 rated the staining of nutrient vessels and perforating branches as adequate. Of 32 participants, 29 preferred the use of dyed cadavers during training. Trainee skill increase for the digital artery flap, reverse digital artery flap, and dorsal metacarpal artery perforator flap was significantly higher in 2022–2023 (with stained cadavers) than in the earlier course without stained cadavers. SSS-fixed and urea-treated cadavers combined with vascular staining may be useful training models for flap elevation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"100 3","pages":"347 - 353"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12565-025-00823-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143078506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The atypical arteries, related arteries, and adjacent cervical and brachial plexuses were macroscopically examined in a 98-year-old Japanese female cadaver donated to The Nippon Dental University for medical education and research. The atypical deep branch of the transverse cervical artery originated from the internal thoracic artery and passed through between the C5 and C6 roots, in close contact with the C5 and C6 junction, to reach the dorsal side of the brachial plexus. The right subclavian artery exhibited a high arch-shaped coursing and traveled approximately 18 mm higher than the left subclavian artery. This atypical transverse cervical artery exhibits a combination of rare variations in its origin and course. The previous reports revealed that the transverse cervical artery arising from the proximal part of the subclavian artery tends to pass the lower part of the brachial plexus. However, this does not apply to the present case, implying that this atypical artery develops in a different manner from those previously described. Furthermore, the high arch-shaped subclavian artery in this case presumably arose by the suspension of the atypical transverse cervical artery at the C5 and C6 roots junction in a pulley-like structure. Clinicians performing pre- and intraoperative evaluations of neck surgery and catheterization of related arteries should consider that congenital anatomic variations in the transverse cervical artery may have cause anomalous subclavian artery coursing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"100 3","pages":"375 - 380"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143051371","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}

In this study, we aimed to elucidate the emergence of the accessory head of the flexor pollicis longus (AHFPL) muscle as a beneficial biomechanical evolutionary development and its topographical relationship with adjacent neurovascular structures. In this pursuit to understand this phenomenon, dissections were conducted on sixty-two upper limbs from thirty-one cadavers. We found a strong positive correlation between the length of the AHFPL and the distance of the branching point of the brachial artery, ulnar artery, and median nerve into the anterior interosseous nerve. Additionally, we noted a significant negative correlation between the width of the AHFPL muscle and the angle formed between the long axes of the FPL and AHFPL. This increases the angle between the resultant vector and the FPL muscle, decreasing the angle between the AHFPL and the resultant force. Consequently, the resulting force shifts from the initial radial position to a slightly ulnar side, balancing the muscle forces at the same point. The authors hypothesize that this resultant vector provides a biomechanical advantage for the thumb, enhancing emphatic grip precision, providing extra power, and enabling meticulous cupping grip when using tools. Rather than considering the presence of AHFPL as a mere anatomical variation, it should be viewed as an advantageous evolutionary biomechanical development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"100 3","pages":"298 - 309"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142833567","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}

Classical dissection of the upper limb was performed on a 45-year-old male cadaver. The cadaver was donated to the Department of Anatomy at Kerman University of Medical Sciences. Bilateral PMA was observed in both upper limbs. The PMA originated from the ulnar artery and contributed to the formation of an incomplete superficial palmar arch (SPA) on both sides; however, the branching pattern of these arteries was different between the right and left hands. Also, a bilateral high division of the median nerve was observed proximal to the carpal tunnel. We also encountered a very rare variation of PCBMN, in which it originated from the ulnar side of the median nerve, and passed beneath the flexor retinaculum of the left hand.
