The rat eustachian tube:Anatomical, histological, and radiological features

Purpose: This study investigated the anatomical and histological characteristics of the rat Eustachian tube(E-tube)and the feasibility of Eustachian tubography in a rat model.Materials and methods: Fifteen male Wistar rats were used in this study, and the bilateral E-tubes of each rat were examined. Ten E-tubes were used for anatomical studies, another ten for histological analysis, and the other ten for Eustachian tubography. Five rats were euthanized and decapitated, and ten E-tubes were dissected to describe the anatomy of the E-tube. Ten E-tube specimens obtained from five other rats were sectioned to investigate Etube histology. Eustachian tubography was performed on the bilateral E-tubes of the other five rats using the trans-tympanic approach.Results: The rat E-tubes consisted of bony and membranous parts. Cartilage and bone tissue covered only the bony part. The E-tubes’ mean diameter and overall length were 2.97 mm and 4.96 mm, respectively. The tympanic orifices’ mean diameter was 1.21 mm. The epithelium of E-tubes was mainly composed of pseudostratified ciliated and goblet cells. Eustachian tubography was successfully performed on both sides of the E-tube for each rat.The technical success rate was 100%, the average running time was 4.9 min, and no procedure-related complications occurred. On tubography images, the E-tube, tympanic cavity, and nasopharynx could be identified because of the visualization of bony landmarks.Conclusion: In this study, we described the anatomical and histological features of rat E-tubes. With the aid of these findings, E-tube angiography was successfully performed using a transtympanic approach. These results will facilitate further investigation of E-tube dysfunction.

人与其他动物椎间盘解剖和组织学结构的比较医学研究进展

《2023年中国退行性脊柱健康报告》提到35岁以下患者的腰椎手术比例近年来显著增加,颈、腰椎病有年轻化的趋势。腰椎间盘突出症成为最困扰大众的疾病之一,研究椎间盘退变的发病机制和治疗方法有着重要的临床意义。目前人类椎间盘相关疾病多采用影像学诊断,由于脊柱的组织样本不易得到,实验动物以成本低、周期短、易获取的优点,成为替代性研究对象。人与其他动物的椎间盘有着结构和生理上的差异,比较人与其他动物的椎间盘结构和病理生理特点是研究的基础和关键。本文综述了不同动物椎间盘解剖与组织学结构相关研究文献并进行比较分析,分别从椎间盘的高度、椎间盘的几何形状、腰椎间盘软骨终板特征、椎间盘内细胞外基质组分4个角度比较了不同动物的椎间盘特点。分析结果表明:人类、袋鼠、绵羊、猪、大鼠在第六颈椎至第七颈椎处的椎间盘相对高度数值最接近;与人类腰部椎间盘几何形状最为相似的是小鼠腰椎间盘;与其他动物相比,人类的软骨终板最厚,细胞密度最小;猪纤维环内部的胶原蛋白与人类的差异最大,但猪、绵羊、兔、大鼠的髓核含水量与人类相比无差异性。在此基础上,本文还阐述了人与其他动物之间椎间盘退变的共性和差异表现,也对不同实验动物椎间盘退变的造模方法进行了总结,旨在为椎间盘退变研究选择合适的实验动物模型提供基础数据。

先天性牙龈瘤2例报告及文献回顾

目的探讨先天性牙龈瘤的临床特点、诊断及治疗方法,为临床诊治提供参考。方法报告2例分别发生于新生儿下颌骨和上颌骨的先天性牙龈瘤病例,通过超声、MRI的检查方式确定肿物边界及大小,全麻下外科手术切除。结合既往文献对先天性牙龈瘤的诊疗进行回顾分析。结果病例1患儿为男性,出生后即发现右下颌粉红色质韧肿物,大小约为20 mm×15 mm×10 mm,完善MRI检查后全麻下行肿物切除术,术后病理检查提示先天性牙龈瘤。病例2患儿为女性,母亲孕29周时B超发现胎儿口腔上颌肿物,大小约24 mm×23 mm×20 mm,孕晚期肿物迅速增长。患儿出生后全麻下行肿物切除术,术后病理检查提示先天性牙龈瘤。文献复习结果表明,先天性牙龈瘤女性发病率较高,且多好发于上颌骨,无骨侵袭性,不影响牙胚发育。当肿物影响患儿呼吸或吞咽时,需及时进行外科手术切除,肿物外科手术后一般无复发迹象。该病组织学来源及病因尚不明确。临床上常需与畸胎瘤相鉴别,畸胎瘤与牙龈瘤临床表现上看外观相似,主要鉴别要点在于病理表现,畸胎瘤镜下可见成熟或未成熟的来自各个胚层的组织,而牙龈瘤镜下则可见紧密排列、均质、多角形至微梭形、中等至大的细胞组成巢状和带状细胞。结论先天性牙龈瘤是新生儿罕见的一种口腔肿瘤,在诊断时需结合发病部位、年龄、临床表现、影像学检查,最终诊断取决于病理检查。对于影响患儿呼吸和进食的先天性牙龈瘤需尽早通过手术切除,术后基本不复发。

新医学背景下医学形态学教学实验室建设构想与实践

瞄准健康中国战略和新医学建设的需要,中国科学技术大学生命科学与医学部建立了医学实验教学中心。医学形态学主要包括人体解剖学、组织学与胚胎学、病理学等基础医学课程。医学形态学课程描述性语言相对较多,相关知识点之间联系不够紧密。为弥补理论教学不足,实验教学不容忽视。新形势下,医学形态学教学实验室作为实验教学的重要环节,其构想与建设,显然是医学教育教学改革的重要环节。文章通过对建设初期设想和具体教学实践相结合,经过不断教学反思,结合虚拟和现实资源,通过多资源融合、课程内容融合、信息化手段等措施,为努力打造内外兼修的医学形态学教学实验室开展了一定的实践与探索。

Colonoscopy in rats:An endoscopic,histological and tomographic study

AIM:To describe colon anatomy with colonoscopy and computed tomography(CT) to develop a rat model for future studies of therapeutic colonoscopy.METHODS:Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats,on average 400-420 g,underwent total colonoscopy,CT and histological examination.Colonoscopy was performed after bowel preparation with a baby upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with an outer diameter of 6.7 mm.CT obtained a 3D image of total colon after a rectal enema with radiological contrast.Macroscopic and microscopic examinations were examined with a conventional technique(hematoxylin and eosin).Colonic wall thickness,length and diameter measurements were taken from the anus,3,7,14 and 20 cm from the anal margin.RESULTS:The median colonoscope depth was 24 cm(range 20-28 cm).Endoscopic and tomographic study of colon morphology showed an easy access with tubular morphology in the entire left colon(proximal left colon and rectum).Transverse colon was unapparent on colonoscopy.Right colon,proximal to the splenic flexure,was the largest part of the colon and assumed saccular morphology with tangential trabecula.Radiological measurements of the colonic length and diameter substantiate a subdivision of the right colon into two parts,the cecum and distal right colon.In addition,histological measurement of the colonic wall thickness confirmed a progressive decrease from rectum to cecum.The muscular layer was thinner in the proximal left colon.CONCLUSION:The combination of colonoscopy,tomography and histology leads to a better characterization of the entire colon.These data are important for deciding when to perform endoscopic resections or when to induce perforations to apply endoscopic treatments.

人子宫骶韧带的解剖组织学特征和相关生物力学研究进展

盆腔器官脱垂(pelvic organ prolapse,POP)是一种由多因素介导的骨盆支持结构减弱引起的疾病,其主要危险因素是多胎妊娠和阴道分娩,然而POP的病理生理学过程目前尚不清楚。手术是治疗中重度POP的主要方法之一,与子宫骶韧带(uterosacral ligament,USL)相关的术式对恢复顶端支持具有重要作用,且手术成功率高。然而,术后复发和并发症的发生风险依然存在,这主要是因为术者对USL的解剖组织学和生物力学知识缺乏足够了解。准确认识USL的解剖位置和组织构成不仅有助于寻找USL最适合悬吊的位点,还可以避免术中损伤邻近的器官组织,如输尿管、直肠和神经血管等。此外,对USL各部分生物力学性能的全面认识还可以为POP发病机制的研究、预防策略和个性化手术的制定提出新的解决办法。
