A randomized-controlled trial was conducted in which 84 middle school students were divided into three groups: VR (n = 28), TBMA (n = 28), and control (n = 28). The students' knowledge levels regarding heart anatomy were assessed before and after the applications. In addition, the student's metacognitive awareness and satisfaction levels were measured after the TBMA and VR applications. The participants' opinions regarding the applications were evaluated using qualitative analysis techniques. Descriptive statistics, variance analysis, and t tests were used to analyze quantitative data, and Colaizzi's education method was prepared sevenfold to examine qualitative data. A significant increase in heart anatomy knowledge levels was observed in the distribution of VR and TBMA. However, no significant difference was found between the groups (p > 0.05). In addition, while the metacognitive awareness of heart anatomy was higher in the students in the VR group, the students in the TBMA group were more satisfied with the learning process. Students stated that learning heart anatomy with VR and TBMA methods was fun, informative, and enjoyable and that such applications should be used more in classes. This study reveals that technology-supported teaching methods can positively affect students' learning processes while teaching heart anatomy. More comprehensive research should be conducted with randomized-controlled and mixed-method studies in different age groups and various course subjects to evaluate the sustainability and effectiveness of technology-based applications.","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144109410","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}

This review highlights how HS-AFM has been instrumental in uncovering the dynamic interplay between nuclear pore complexes (NPCs)-which regulate nucleocytoplasmic transport-and genome guardians, including DNA repair proteins and chromatin regulators. Structurally, the NPCs resemble a multi-layered spider cobweb, serving as crucial molecular gatekeepers for maintaining cellular homeostasis, while genome guardians safeguard genomic integrity through DNA repair and chromatin organization. Through HS-AFM, the researchers have gained unprecedented insights into NPC dynamics, revealing their adaptability during nuclear transport, chromatin reorganization, and viral infection. It has also elucidated how genome guardians interact with NPCs, influencing chromatin organization at the nuclear periphery and regulating nucleocytoplasmic trafficking. These discoveries underscore the critical role of NPC-genome interactions in genome stability, gene expression, and nuclear transport, with broad implications for diseases such as cancer, viral infections, and neurodegenerative disorders. In conclusion, HS-AFM has transformed our ability to study the nuclear landscape at the nanoscale, bridging the gap between structural biology and functional genomics. By capturing the real-time molecular dynamics of NPCs and chromatin, HS-AFM provides an essential tool for unraveling the mechanisms that govern nuclear transport and genome regulation. Future advancements in HS-AFM technology, including higher temporal resolution, correlative imaging, and AI-driven analysis, will further expand its potential in biomedical research, paving the way for novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144092699","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}

With regard to the question, it has been reported that the FT is an independent muscle or a part of the adjacent muscles such as the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) and the extensor digitorum brevis muscle. In this study, to clarify the origin of the FT from the perspective of neuromuscular anatomy, gross and stereomicroscopic dissections and modified Shiler's staining were performed on 48 sides of the lower legs from 25 Japanese cadavers. Of the 48 specimens, 43 specimens (89.6%) had a FT muscle belly, while 5 specimens (10.4%) did not. Most FTs were innervated by distal nerve branches from a common trunk with the EDL. The innervations of the FT and EDL suggest that the FT and EDL were brother muscles, and we proposed here a hypothesis that the FT and EDL originate from a common muscle mass and compete in a tug-of-war for muscle belly components during their development.","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144092689","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}

Cajal’s observations supported the Neuron Theory, which proposed that neurons communicate via specialized points of contact, contradicting the prevailing Reticular Theory of a continuous neural network, which was supported by Golgi. This contrast is particularly intriguing because, although Golgi and Cajal used the same black reaction technique and similar microscopes, their interpretations of the microscopic world diverged significantly. An important consequence of the Neuron Theory was Cajal’s Law of Dynamic Polarization, which proposed that neurons generally consist of three functionally distinct regions: a receptor apparatus (dendrites and soma), an emission apparatus (axon), and a distribution apparatus (terminal axonal arborization). He applied this principle across various parts of the nervous system and to different neuron types, enabling the generation of the first detailed circuit diagrams of the brain. Cajal’s observations, concepts, and theories had a profound impact—not only on researchers of his time, but also on modern neuroscience.

The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive synthesis of data regarding the prevalence of this ossicle. To find the pertinent articles, a thorough search of the major electronic bases was carried out. Data on imaging modality, sex distribution, prevalence, and geographic origin of OP were extracted.

The AQUA tool was used to evaluate the reliability of the included studies. 26 studies (22,948 feet) were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence estimate (PPE) of OP was found to be 6.6% (95% CI: 5.1-8.5) (95% PI: 0.02-0.22) of the analyzed feet. In the X-ray-based subgroup, the PPE of OP was 6.7% (95% CI: 5.1-8.7) and in the cadaveric dissection-based subgroup was 11.1% (95% CI: 5.1-22.4). The highest prevalence of OP was observed in North America (8.6% (95% CI: 5.9-12.3)), followed by Europe (6.0%, (95% CI: 3.8-9.4)) and Asia (5.9% (95% CI: 3.9-9.0)).

In this preliminary study, we aimed to evaluate the morphological and morphometric features of the notch to enhance the diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes of nerve compression. This retrospective study was conducted using computed tomography images of the scapula obtained between January 1, 2022, and August 30, 2024. A total of 852 scapulae were evaluated, of which 448 belonged to males and 404 to females. Morphometric measurements included superior transverse diameter, middle transverse diameter, and maximal depth of the notch. In addition, the notch was classified using both the Polguj and Rengachary classification systems. When the measurement parameters were compared between genders, the values were higher in males; however, only the maximal depth showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). According to the Polguj classification, Type 3 was the most common (63.38%). Based on the Rengachary classification, the U-shaped form was the most frequently observed (65.02%), while the J-shaped form was the rarest (3.41%). The foramen shape was detected in 5.75% of cases. The J-shaped variant was found to be approximately four times more common in males than in females. Knowledge of the anatomical variations of the notch is likely to be beneficial for both endoscopic and open surgical interventions in the suprascapular region. In particular, three-dimensional computed tomography imaging may be useful in preoperative planning for arthroscopic resection of ossified ligament.","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143956567","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}
