Deplastination: Making plastinates histo-pathologically relevant
In this study, a slice of liver tissue was split into two parts. The first half was processed, sectioned and stained with routine H&E staining while the other half was plastinated with S10 plastination technique and was deplastinated after 3 months using sodium methoxide as the deplastinating agent. It was latter stained with routine H&E. The slides were assessed qualitatively on parameters like tissue and cell identification, staining property, preservation of tissue architecture, visualisation of intracellular structures like nuclei, nucleoli, fat goblets etc. and presence of artefacts due to the process.ResultsIdentific...

Anatomic variations in the course of the hypoglossal nerve: A case report
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of the Anatomical Society of India, Volume 67, Issue 1Author(s): Gunjan Agrawal, Ashutosh Gupta, Vivek Chaudhary, Fiza QuerishiAbstractTo achieve a successful surgical anatomy a detailed knowledge of regional anatomy and anatomical variations is an important fundamental. The extra cranial hypoglossal nerve has a well described course as it traverses the neck, and is frequently identified during neck dissection. This serves a guide to the surgeon of such atypical variations in anatomy to avoid injury to important structures during dissection. We are presenting a case report which d...

The Incidence of Civinini’s Bar in Adult Anatolian Dry Skulls: An Anatomical Study
DiscussionComplete or incomplete ossification of Civinini’s ligament have significant relation with blockage and entrapment of important neurovascular structures. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy and incidence of Civinini’s bar and related clinical situations could be important for radiologists, neurosurgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, anaesthetists, anatomists and anthropologists.

Anatomical and molecular Studies of Cytochrome P450 family CYP7A1 gene polymorphism and its association with gallstone in Kanpur Population
In this study, we have mainly focused on the molecular and biochemical aspects to know the cause of gall stone diseases in human. To know about these problems, there may be necessitating initiating interest in researchers of this field and to set up easily available tools and techniques. The screening of polymorphism with molecular approaches of P450 super family CYP7A1 gene was performed to explore its relation with gallstone diseases. Methods Total 300 samples (150 patients and 150 controls) were analyzed for the study. The polymorphisms were analyzed by PCR followed by RFLP with BsaI restriction enzyme. The lipid profi...

Study of communication between musculocutaneous and median nerves in man
Discussion The incidence of communication between musculocutaneous and median nerve is quite high (42%). Previous studies carried out in different countries and ethnicities showed abnormal communication between these two nerves ranged from 6-68%.Lesions of communicating nerve may give rise to pattern of weakness that may impose difficulty in diagnosis. So it is important to have awareness of these variations that are observed and discussed in present study. (Source: Journal of the Anatomical Society of India)

The Acromial morphology and its implication in impingement syndrome: an anatomical study
Discussion Our study may suggest that in Indian population, 13.33% population is at risk of impingement syndrome according to the thickness of acromion. In addition, angles of acromion tilt and acromion slope are larger in Indian scapulae as compare to that of other countries. This knowledge would be useful for orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists.

Gestational Diabetes reduced Sertoli cells in 12 weeks age rat offsprings testis
This study was done to evaluate the effect of induced gestational diabetes on seminiferous tubule of 12 weeks age offspring rats. Materials and Methods 10 Wistar rats' dams were randomly allocated to control and diabetic groups. Streptozotocin was used to induce diabetes in female rats. Dams in diabetic group received 40 mg/kg/BW of streptozotocin at the first day of gestation and control group animals received an equivalent volume of normal saline by intraperitoneally. Six offspring of each group were randomly selected on day 84 postnatal. Five micrometer sections were taken from testes, stained with hematoxylin and eo...
