The branching pattern of the hepatic veins was studied by retrograde injection of silicone into the hepatic veins through the inferior vena cava. According to the descriptions given by previous studies, the right, middle, left hepatic veins, and combined middle and left hepatic venous branching patterns were categorized. The data was analyzed statistically. The predominant hepatic vein patterns were De Cecchis type I right hepatic vein (30%), Neumann type I middle hepatic vein (67%), and Reichert type I left hepatic vein (70%). A common trunk for the middle and left hepatic vein was present in 60% and Wind's type II was more common (30%) followed by type I (20%) and type III (10%). While there was no association between the De Cecchis and Wind types, 90% of the conical-shaped livers exhibited type II middle/left hepatic vein pattern of Wind's classification. The present study also observed a rare variation of an accessory inferior left hepatic vein.","PeriodicalId":7831,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy & Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"365-372"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144214637","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}

A better understanding of the nerve relationships of the anterior compartment of the leg could be important in treating some patients. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the deep fibular nerve and its relationship to various connective tissue bands along its course. Fifty-two cadaveric legs were dissected to reveal and identify the branching patterns of the common, superficial, and deep fibular nerves and their passage through the leg's posterior intermuscular septum (PIMS) and anterior intermuscular septum (AIMS). The oval passageway of the common fibular nerve was classified as the superior fibular band, and the crescentic passageways of the deep and superficial fibular nerves were classified as the middle and inferior fibular bands. The inferior boundary of the oval-shaped superior fibular band of the PIMS was positioned at the lateral aspect of the superior most region of the fibular neck. The crescentic middle fibular band of the AIMS was present in 96.15% of legs, its inferior boundary being consistently positioned in 98% of them. The other 2% presented with a thin band of connective tissue in the absence of a distinguishable AIMS. The crescentic inferior fibular band of the AIMS was present in 17.31% of legs. There were no significant differences between right and left sides in the presence or classifications of the fibular bands. Connective tissue bands along the course of the fibular nerves are common and should be considered in idiopathic palsies of these nerves.","PeriodicalId":7831,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy & Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"373-378"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144551709","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}

A systematic search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Articles reporting variations in infrahyoid muscles and/or ansa cervicalis were independently evaluated following the PICOTS framework. The anatomical quality assessment tool was used to assess the quality of publications reporting anatomical variants. Seventy-seven studies, encompassing eighty-four cases, were included in the analysis. Of the 56-publication reporting infrahyoid muscle variations, 44 pertained to the omohyoid muscle (main or accessory), 3 to the sternohyoid, 4 to the sternothyroid, and 1 to the thyrohyoid, with no accessory variation observed in the latter. Atypical infrahyoid muscles were identified in 11 cases, 9 of which presented as levator glandulae thyroideae, and 2 as single cases. Variations in the ansa cervicalis were documented in 29 cases, only 1 case involved both ansa cervicalis and infrahyoid muscle variations. The extensive variability of the omohyoid muscle led to the development of a new classification system that integrates 4 types of consistency and 4 types of morphometric variations, providing valuable insights for clinical practice. The specialized use of the infrahyoid muscles in cancer staging, reconstruction after neck cancer surgery, and thyroid surgery underscores the need for a new framework to document their variations, particularly in the omohyoid muscle.","PeriodicalId":7831,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy & Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"322-333"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143966308","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}

Hepatic ischemia results in liver impairment, as evidenced by elevated liver enzyme levels and altered liver histology. It also reduced antioxidant enzyme levels and increased lipid peroxidation. Additionally, the Hep I/R group displayed significant suppression of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/haem oxygenase-1 pathway. There was a marked elevation in the expression of inflammatory markers, including nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, and myloperoxidase, and NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) and caspase-1. Furthermore, the levels of apoptotic markers such as caspase-3 and Bax were greater than those in the sham groups. Pretreatment with Chlorella vulgaris significantly protected against Hep I/R by reversing these effects.

In this study, pneumonia was induced in Balb/c mice using different concentrations of S. aureus to evaluate histopathological changes and progression with increasing concentrations of colony forming units (CFUs) as well as their interactions with inflammatory and cell death markers. Hematoxylin and eosin histological techniques and peroxidase immunohistochemistry were utilized to investigate outcomes that included edema and disruption of the bronchiole and blood vessel walls. Alveolar collapse and bronchiolar hyperplasia were also analyzed and were statistically significant, but only hyperplasia varied between the two groups that received intermediate concentrations of CFU (107 and 108, respectively) to induce pneumonia. In the immunohistochemical analysis, progression of apoptosis was observed in groups that received up to 108 CFU, along with a probable predominance of autophagy and reduction in IL-6 in the group that received the highest concentration (109 CFU). These characteristics appear to indicate an attempt to preserve and reuse cells when high CFU concentrations are present and eliminate infected cells at lower concentrations. The data from this present study contribute to understanding crosstalk between cell death pathways and the inflammatory response in S. aureus-induced pneumonia, and may assist in future intervention strategies.","PeriodicalId":7831,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy & Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"444-459"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144214639","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}

The study was conducted at Department of Anatomy at a tertiary care hospital and medical college. A detailed dissection of pudendal nerve was done and the morphology and morphometry of the pudendal nerve were studied in 10 cadavers with equal sex distribution (5 male and 5 female). Cross-sectional area (CSA) of the pudendal nerve at various sites of entrapment (piriformis, sacrospinous ligament, sacrotuberous ligament, and at Alcock's canal) and trajectory distance of pudendal nerve from various anatomical landmarks (ischial spine, sacral tuberosity, pubic symphysis, and inferior pubic ramus) were measured using digital vernier caliper. The CSA of pudendal nerve was more at piriformis (4.04 mm2) it decreased as the nerve travelled further to Alcock's canal (0.35 mm2). On comparison of the CSA and trajectory distances of the pudendal nerve with sex and sides there was no statistically significant difference.

Fusion between these facial primordia implicates formation of an epithelial seam resulting from adherence and fusion between lining epithelia, and its subsequent removal to generate mesenchymal continuity. These embryonic processes involve a complex array of morphogenetic events requiring coordinated cell migration, survival, proliferation, death, patterning, adhesion, and differentiation, involving both the mesenchymal core and the primitive epithelial covering. Perturbation of any of these developmental events can lead to orofacial cleft phenotypes. Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common congenital head deformities and, in general, among the commonest inborn defects. Indeed, due to the complexity of lip and palate development, the possibility of errors is a real event, therefore their relatively elevate frequency is not surprising. Understanding the pathogenesis of these malformations requires a thorough knowledge of the biological mechanisms underlying normal craniofacial embryogenesis and how they can be disturbed during development. An important contribution to our understanding of the fusion processes occurring in the orofacial district has come from studies on the role of the periderm in the adhesion between embryonic structures. This review summarises the normal morphogenesis of the upper lip/primary palate and secondary palate, as well as the mechanisms of aberrant development leading to cleft lip and palate, with particular attention to the role of the periderm, and cellular and molecular aspects of developmental pathogenesis.","PeriodicalId":7831,"journal":{"name":"Anatomy & Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":"344-356"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144641591","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}
