Abstract

Background/Objectives: Nasal morphology is a significant aspect of facial anatomy and is often used for forensic identification and aesthetic surgery. This study aims to compare nasal dimensions based on sex, facial index (FI), and nasal index (NI) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3D modeling. Methods: To observe differences in nasal dimensions by sex and analyze the relationships between facial shapes (FI) and nasal forms (NI), a total of 100 participants (50 males, 50 females) in their 20s were selected from Dankook University Dental Hospital. CBCT scans were performed, and 3D models were created using Mimics software (version 22.0). The measurement items included the alaria distance between (AL), the distance between N (nasion) and SN (subnasale), the distance between N (nasion) and PRN (pronasale), and the distance between SN (subnasale) and PRN (pronasale). A T-test was used for the sex-based analysis of the nasal dimensions, and the facial index- and nasal index-based nasal dimensions were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA with Scherffe's post hoc test. Additionally, all the statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software (version 23.0). Results: The results indicated that males generally have larger nasal dimensions than females. Additionally, the mesoprosopic facial type (round face) showed the largest nasal dimensions in the FI classification, while the platyrrhine nasal type (broad and short nose) exhibited the largest dimensions in the NI classification. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the nasal size varies significantly with sex, facial shape, and nasal form. The findings can contribute to forensic identification and provide valuable data for clinical practices in facial reconstruction and nasal surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Exosomes are nanovesicles 30–150 nm in diameter released extracellularly. Those isolated from human body fluids reflect the characteristics of their cells or tissues of origin. Exosomes carry extensive biological information from their parent cells and have significant potential as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis. However, there are limited studies utilizing exosomes in postmortem diagnostics. In this study, we extended our initial research which identified the presence and established detection methodologies for exosomes in postmortem fluids. We analyzed exosomal miRNA extracted from plasma and pericardial fluid samples of a control group (n = 13) and subjects with acute myocardial infarction (AMI; n = 24). We employed next-generation sequencing (NGS) to investigate whether this miRNA could serve as biomarkers for coronary atherosclerosis leading to acute myocardial infarction. Our analysis revealed 29 miRNAs that were differentially expressed in the AMI group compared to the control group. Among these, five miRNAs exhibited more than a twofold increase in expression across all samples from the AMI group. Specifically, miR-486-5p levels were significantly elevated in patients with high-grade (type VI or above) atherosclerotic plaques, as per the American Heart Association criteria, highlighting its potential as a predictive biomarker for coronary atherosclerosis progression. Our results indicate that postmortem-derived exosomal microRNAs can serve as potential biomarkers for various human diseases, including cardiovascular disorders. This finding has profound implications for forensic diagnostics, a field critically lacking diagnostic markers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
