- Abstract
Background: Communications between the median, ulnar and musculocutaneous nerves in the arm, forearm and hand were reported in adult cadaveric and electrophysiological studies. These communicant branches may lead conflicting clinical and electrodiagnostic outcomes. While there are many studies on adult patients or cadavers, there is poor regarding foetuses. The present study was conducted to examine the frequencies of these communications and their coexistences in human foetuses.Materials and Methods: Anterior aspect of the forearms of 50 foetuses (29 females, 20 males, and 1 unknown) were dissected bilaterally (totally 100 sides) for this purpose.Results: Communications between the median and the musculocutaneous nerves in the arm were found unilaterally in 4%. Communications from the median to the ulnar nerve in the forearm were encountered unilaterally in 22%, and bilaterally in 12%; from the ulnar to the median nerve in the hand unilaterally in 28%, and bilaterally in 12%. Coexistence of all these variations was not encountered in any foetus. But coexistence of two different types of communicant branch was encountered in 4%.Conclusions: Precise knowledge of nerve communications, variations and rate of coexistences in foetuses may have significance for clinicians and researchers dealing with subjects in foetal period.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the right and left sides of the carotid foramen (CF) to determine its precise location according to certain anatomical landmarks. MATERIALS and METHODS: Twenty human dry skulls were included in the study. A digital caliper and a digital image analysis software were used to obtain direct anatomical numerical values. Then, the same parameters on dry skulls were assessed with computed tomography (CT). RESULTS: CF was found to be round shaped (62.5%), oval shaped (32.5%), and tear-drop shaped (5%). In all cases, the position of CF was seen as just postero-laterally of the foramen lacerum. According to the jugular foramen, CF was seen to be anterior in 85% and antero-medial in 15% of the cases. Regarding the morphometric values of the surface area, the length and width of CF were observed to be 37.86±11.24 mm2, 8.02±1.09 mm, and 6.86±0.90 mm at direct anatomical measurements and 39.69±10.07 mm2, 7.89±1.14 mm, and 6.41±0.90 mm at CT, respectively. The angles between the supramastoid crest-CF-zygoma root and the supramastoid crest-CF-mastoid process were determined as 37.11±6.87° and 42.22±6.40° at direct anatomical measurements and 36.59±4.94° and 43.71±4.55° at CT, respectively. CONCLUSION: A significant difference in sides was not observed in relation with the numerical data of CF obtained from CT or from direct anatomical measurements of dry skulls. Moreover, a significant difference was not found between radiological and direct anatomical measurements. Therefore, precise radiological assessment of this region by an experienced neuroradiologist may be assumed as a fundamental need for successful surgeries of the skull base, in addition to thorough anatomical knowledge of neurootologists and neurosurgeons.

Kraniyel radyasyon terapisi malignensilerin tedavisinde etkili bir araç olmasıyla birlikte kısa ve uzun dönemde istenmeyen yan etkiler gösterdiği bilinmektedir. Kognitif kusurlar kraniyel radyoterapinin uzun dönemde ortaya çıkabilen esas etkilerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir.Rodentlerde beynin yeni gelişmeye başladığı dönemlerde kraniyel radyasyona maruziyeti, erişkin döneme gelindiğinde bu uygulamanın hipokampal nörogenezde değişikliklere yol açabildiği gösterilmiştir. Çalışmamızda C57BL6/J fare beyinlerine erken dönemdeki kraniyal radyasyon uygulamasının erişkin dönemdeki hipokampal nörogenezi azaltmasının yanında, epigenetik olaylarda da değişikliklere neden olduğu gösterilmiştir. Deneysel tasarımımızda; postnatal 14. Günde (P14) yavrulara tek doz olarak 8 Gray (Gy) (Rad+ grubu) ile P14 ve P21 de birer doz 8 Gy olmak üzere çift doz (toplam16 Gy) (Rad++) tüm kraniyel radyasyon uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca yaş ve vücut ağırlığı bakımından eş bir grup yavru da sham (anestezik) ve normal kontrol grupları olarak deneye dahil edilmiştir. Kraniyel radyasyon uygulamasından 7 ay sonra, bütün gruplar ilk önce lokomotor aktivitelerinin sınanması açısından Açık Alan Testi'ne daha sonrasında ise hipokampal bağımlı mekansal öğrenme ve uzun dönem hafızayı değerlendirmek için Morris Su Tankı Testi (MSTT) paradigmasına tabi tutulmuşlardır. Açık Alan testinde gruplar arasında önemli farklılıklar görülmemiştir. Fakat MSTT'nde Rad+ ve Rad++ gruplarında kontrol gruplarına kıyasla kognitif becerilerde çeşitli derecelerde azalma kaydedilmiştir. Ayrıca, bu farklılığın önemli derecede doza bağımlı olduğu anlaşılmıştır. MSTT testlerini takiben, tüm gruplara ait P231 beyinlerinin hipokampuslarında mevcut nörogenezi ve epigenetik olayları değerlendirebilmek için fenotipik nöronal ve epigenetik işaretleyiciler kullanılarak immünhistokimyasal boyamalar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Radyasyona maruz bırakılan fare beyinlerinde gyrus dentatus'un iç granüler tabakasında kontrol gruplarına kıyasla Doublecortin (DCX) (olgunlaşmamış nöron işaretleyicisi) ile işaretlenmiş hücre popülasyonunda önemli miktarda azalma tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmamızda ayrıca aynı hipokampal bölgelerde en temel DNA metilasyon faktörlerinden biri olarak kabul gören Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2 immünohistokimyasal ekspresyonunun radyasyona bağlı olarak belirgin düzeyde azaldığı gösterilmiştir.Bütün bulgularımız ışığında genel olarak erken dönemdeki kraniyal radyasyon uygulamasının sadece nörogenezi değil, aynı zamanda MSTT deneylerinde gözlenen zayıflamış kognitif yeteneklerin hücresel düzeydeki yansıması olan erişkin hipokampusundaki epiegenetiği de değiştirdiğini gösterilmiştir. İyonize radyasyonun epigenetik programlamayı ne şekilde etkilediğinin mekanizmalarının anlaşılması radyasyon maruziyetinin zararlı etkilerine karşı alınabilecek önlemlerin gelişmesine ışık tutacaktır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Erişkin Hipokampal Nörogenez, Kraniyal Radyasyon Maruziyeti, DNA metilasyonu, Epigenetik Cranial radiotherapy is an effective tool in the treatment of pediatric malignancies but it is associated with adverse side effects, both short and long term. One of the cardinal late onset effects is cognitive deficits. Exposure of cranial irradiation to the early brain in rodents has been shown to potentially change the hippocampal neurogenesis levels in adulthood. Here, we demonstrated that epigenetics is also altered accompanying with the reduced hippocampal neurogenesis in the adult brain of C57BL6/J mice after the early cranial irradiation. For the experimental design, a single dose of 8 Gray (Gy) whole cranial irradiation at postnatal day 14 (P14) (Rad+ Group) or double doses (Rad++ Group) of 8 Gy both at P14 and P21 (total of 16 Gy) were administered to the pups. Additionally, a group of age and body weight matched mice were assigned as sham (anesthetic) or naive controls. Seven months after the cranial irradiation, three main groups of mice (Control, Sham and Rad) were first assigned for Open Field test to measure the locomotor activity, and afterwards for Morris Water Maze paradigm to test the hippocampal dependent spatial learning and long term memory. No significant difference was observed between the groups in Open Field test. Meanwhile, in the Morris Water Maze experiments, Rad+ and Rad++groups displayed significantly weaker cognitive abilities as compared to the controls. Lastly, a significant dose-dependent difference of irradiation was also detected. Following Morris Water Maze experiments, we employed immunohistochemical stainings (im) with phenotypic neuronal and epigenetic markers to test the ongoing neurogenesis and epigenetic events in the P231 hippocampi. We found a significant decrease of Doublecortin (DCX)-im (immature neuron marker) at the inner granule cell layer of dentate gyrus of irradiated mice as compared to the controls. In the same hippocampal regions, there were also significant reduction of Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2-im positive cells a well-known DNA methylation determinant. Our overall data suggests that exposure of cranial irradiation to the young brain alters not only the neurogenesis but also the epigenetic profile in adult hippocampus which may reflect the cellular base of the weakened cognitive abilities observed in the Morris Water Maze experiments. understanding the mechanisms by which ionizing radiation affects epigenetic programming will provide insight into how to develop protection against the potentially harmful risks associated with radiation exposure.Keywords: Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis, Cranial Irradiation, DNA methylation, Epigenetics 73

Gebeler tarafından alkol kullanımı, fetal gelişimi geniş bir spektrumda gelişimsel kusurlara ve büyüme geriliklerine neden olacak şekilde olumsuz yönde etkilemekte ve bu durum Fetal Alkol Spektrum Bozuklukları (FASB) olarak tanımlanmaktadır. FASB'nın en belirgin özelliklerinden birisi, kognitif ve nörodavranışsal hastalıkların eşlik ettiği ve genellikle hayat boyu devam eden çeşitli derecelerdeki beyin hasarlarıdır. Henüz yeni bir yol olarak sayılabilecek epigenetik bilimi FASB sonucu ortaya çıkan beyin hasarlarının altında yatan moleküler temellere ışık tutmaktadır.En temel epigenetik mekanizmalardan biri olarak kabul edilen DNA metilasyonunun, nöral tüp gelişimi sırasında nöronal farklılaşmaya paralel olarak gerçekleşen DNA Metilasyon Programı (DMP) olarak adlandıran epigenetiksel bir süreç olduğu ve prenatal alkol maruziyetinin, embriyonik büyüme geriliğiyle eş zamanlı olarak bu programı geciktirdiği bilinmektedir. Sözkonusu DMP'nın daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için, çalışmamızda C57BL6/J farelerdeki serebral korteks gelişimi model olarak kullanılmıştır. Böylece, gerek DMP'nın normal kortikal gelişimdeki rolü, gerekse FASB modeli oluşturulmasıyla prenatal alkol maruziyetinin DMP üzerindeki etkileri DNA metilasyon dinamikleri incelenerek araştırılmıştır.İnsanlarda gözlenen FASB'nın etkilerini taklit edebilmek için sıvı diyet paradigması kullanılarak %4'lük alkol solüsyonu içeren sıvı diyet fare gelişiminin gestasyonel 7. gününden (E7) E17'ne kadar uygulanmıştır.Alkol sıvı diyet uygulaması neticesinde insanlardaki FASB fenotiplerine benzer olarak, beyin ağırlıklarının ve serebral korteks kalınlığının azaldığı görülmüştür. Çalışmamızda DNA metilasyon markırları 5-metilsitozin (5mC), 5-hidroksimetilsitozin (5hmC) ve onların bağlayıcı proteini olan MeCP2'yi de içeren karakterestik bir DMP'nın serebral kortekste, fenotipik nöronal işaretlemelerle de desteklendiği üzere kortikal nöronal farklılaşmayı ve olgunlaşmayı yönlendirdiği gösterilmiştir. Bunun yanında alkolün, oluşturduğu gelişimsel geriliğe paralel olarak, söz konusu DMP'nın işleyişini metilasyon markır dinamiklerini değiştirerek bozduğu gösterilmiştir. Maternal alcohol intake during pregnancy adversely affects the fetal development, leading to various degrees of developmental deficits and growth retardation, collectively referred to as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). One of the cardinal features, as well as the most severe consequence is the brain deficit and accompanying cognitive and neurobehavioral disorders which often persist into adulthood. A new path, epigenetics, shed light in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the brain damages seen in FASD.Recently, it?s shown that DNA methylation is a program (DMP), which parallel to embryonic maturation during early neural tube development, and, alcohol exposure delayed this DMP along with retarded embryonic growth. For further understanding the DMP, we attempted to use developing cerebral cortex in C57BL6/J mice as a model and studied the DNA methylation dynamics in alcohol-induced embryonic brains.To mimic the similar patterns of brain damage known to occur when pregnant women drink alcohol in chronic drinking pattern, we employed Liquid Diet (LD) paradigm [4% v/v alcohol in liquid diet on gestational (E) days 7 to E17.Alcohol in LD paradigm reduced the brain weights on E17, and a significant reduction in cerebral cortex thickness which is concordant with the brain deficits seen in FASD. We found that a characteristic DMP, including 5-methylcytidine (5mC), 5-hydroxylmethylcytidine (5hmC) and their binding protein Methyl CpG Binding Protein 2 (MeCP2), lead the cortical neuronal differentiation and maturation as indicated by their phenotypic marks in each cortical layer prenatally. Overall, alcohol hinders the acquisition and progression of methylation marks which is correlated with developmental retardation. 97

- Abstract
Purpose: It has been demonstrated that the coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are generally asymptomatic. However, some cases can cause severe life threatening events. As coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a non-invasive alternative to invasive coronary angiography for the evaluation of coronary anatomy, the prevalence of CAAs in CCTA may more closely reflect the true prevalence in the general population. So we aimed to review and determine the prevalence of CAAs and variants retrospectively in patients who underwent CCTA at our center., Methods: Reports of 1802 patients who underwent CCTA at the radiology department of our university hospital were traced for CAAs. At least two independent investigators reviewed the images, which were selected for further assessment prior to final classification., Results: One hundred and fifty two anomalies in 152 patients (8.44 %) were encountered. Origin of any coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk in 1 (0.06 %), origin of LMCA from right sinus in 1 (0.06 %), origin of right coronary artery (RCA) from left sinus in 5 (0.28 %), origin of left anterior descending artery (LAD) from right sinus in 2 (0.11 %), origin of circumflex branch (RCx) of LMCA from right sinus in 6 (0.33 %), origin of RCx from RCA in 4 (0.22 %), origin of any coronary artery from the ascending aorta in 2 (0.11 %), split RCA in 5 (0.28 %), RCx and left marginal artery from the first diagonal artery in 1 (0.06 %), myocardial bridging in 123 (6.83 %) and fistula in 2 (0.11 %) were detected as CAAs., Conclusion: The prevalence of CAAs observed in this study was similar to the literature. CCTA can clearly visualize the anomalous origin, course and termination of the coronary artery., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest İsmail Yağmurhan Gilan and Kaan Esen have equally contributed in this study. This study was produced from İsmail Yağmurhan Gilan's doctoral thesis., (Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier Inc.)
