The organization of the collagen fibrils in human umbilical cord at term is directly visualized by means a scanning electron microscopy cell maceration method. This technique clearly reveals that there much more extensive fibrillar architecture within than reported classical histological descriptions. Wharton's jelly, fact, appears as spongy network interlacing fibres and small woven bundles apparently arranged random forming continuous soft skeleton encases vessels. shows presence wide...
The use of somatic cells for cocultures during in vitro fertilization (IVF) is currently finalized to obtain a higher number healthy and viable embryos with high potential implantation. Among the different cell lines that can be used as feeder cocultures, granulosa (GCs) are autologous cells, safe easy recover. aim present study was analyze fine structure human GCs coculture system evaluate, from morphodynamic point view, their role supporting embryo development. were collected oocyte...
Atherosclerotic plaques have a high probability of undergoing rapid progression to stenosis, becoming responsible acute coronary syndrome or stroke. Microcalcifications may act as enhancers atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability. Considering that calcifications with diameter smaller than 10 mm in paraffin embedded tissue are rather difficult detect, our aim was analyze microcalcifications on semithin sections from epoxy resin samples carotid endarterectomies using an original trichromic stain...
Female reproductive aging is associated with several morphological changes of the genital tract a subsequent decline in fertility; however, ultrastructural occurring after menopause have still not been well illustrated. Our aim was to characterize three-dimensional microanatomy luminal surface human fallopian tube perimenopause and postmenopause. Twenty bioptic samples tubes were obtained surgery under informed consent patients. Samples processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM)...
Neuroanatomy is considered to be one of the most difficult anatomical subjects for students. To provide motivation and improve learning outcomes in this area, clinical cases neurosurgical images from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractographies produced using an intraoperative magnetic resonance apparatus (MRI/DTI) were presented discussed during integrated second‐year neuroanatomy, neuroradiology, neurosurgery lectures over 2008–2011 period. Anonymous questionnaires, evaluated according...
Primary vaginal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are rare, easily recurrent tumours with an unknown etiology; the prognosis is poor and there no consensus guideline on their management. A nodular, 25 × 23 x 28 mm-mass, infiltrating urethra, was found in a 58-year-old woman. biopsy showed LMS of vagina that positive for vimentin, alpha-smooth muscle actin, caldesmon, desmin, p16 p53. An anterior pelvic exenteration performed. The sample fixed prepared light microscopy, transmission scanning electron...
In order to understand the 3-D distribution of collagen in relation vascularization, chorionic villi human placentae, belonging normal pregnancies at term, were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after alkali maceration techniques, and transmission (TEM). The villous tree appeared made an uninterrupted structure fibres. fibres connected axis with their basal plates organised differently according various levels branching. stem showed copious external (facing surface) arranged...
In order to elucidate the ultrastructural dynamics of endometrium differentiation, uterine samples fetuses aged 14 22 weeks gestation (WG) were analyzed. Samples processed for light (LM), transmission (TEM) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Initial stratification wall occurred at WG: endometrial, myometrial, perimetrial primordia identified. At this age, endometrial epithelium was simple columnar pseudostratified consisted microvillous cells. Blood capillaries...
