Hyperostotic bones occur in several families of marine teleosts, however there are few reports on its development in fish from Brazilian waters. The present study identified the occurrence of hyperostosis in specimens of Leatherjacket fish Oligoplites saurus, an important commercial species, using radiographic images. Biometric measurements of four specimens were performed and the affected bones were detected in different levels and regions of the skeleton: Supraoccipital, Pterygiophores, Cleithrum, Hemal Spines and Neural Spines. Bones with hyperostosis represented up to 7% of the weight of the eviscerated fish. The pattern found was consistent with previous reports in the literature for other species of the genus Oligoplites, this being the first report of hyperostosis for O. saurus.
Ossos hiperostóticos ocorrem em diversas famílias de teleósteos marinhos, entretanto poucos relatos sobre seu desenvolvimento são descritos para peixes de águas brasileiras. O presente estudo identificou a ocorrência de hiperostose em espécimes de guaivira Oligoplites saurus, uma importante espécie comercial, por análises de imagens radiográficas. Foram realizadas medidas biométricas de quatro espécimes, e os ossos afetados foram detectados, em diferentes graus e regiões do esqueleto: supraoccipital, pterigióforos, cleitro, espinho hemal e espinho neural. Ossos com hiperostose chegaram a representar até 7% do peso do peixe eviscerado. O padrão encontrado foi consistente com os relatos prévios na literatura para outras espécies do gênero Oligoplites, sendo este o primeiro relato de hiperostose para O. saurus.

Purpose: To observe the mechanism of prepared Radix Rehmanniainon combined with Radix Astragali in treating osteoporosis. Methods: Osteoporosis rat model was established by bilateral ovariectomy combined with low-calcium diet feeding. Bone mineral density was measured by bone densitometer. Bone metabolism markers in serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), bone tissue structure was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the effect of prepared Radix Rehmanniainon combined with Radix Astragali on PI3K-AKT signaling pathway was investigated by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results: Compared with the model group, the bone tissue structure and imbalance of bone metabolism were improved, and the bone mineral density was significantly increased in the prepared Radix Rehmanniainon combined with Radix Astragali groups. After intervention with prepared Radix Rehmanniainon combined with Radix Astragali, the positive expression of PIK3CA and Akt1 in rat bone tissue was enhanced, and the expression levels of Akt1 mRNA were significantly increased. Conclusions: Prepared Radix Rehmanniainon combined with Radix Astragali may treat osteoporosis by activating PI3K/AKT pathway.

Abstract Titanosaurs are one of the most common dinosaurs found in Cretaceous outcrops, especially in Brazil. In this article we describe a proximal portion of an ulna (Paleo-UFG/V-0039) which was found isolated Paleo-UFG/V-0039 comes from a sandstone outcrop, with fine to medium granulation, of the Marília Formation (Bauru Group) that appears irregularly in the municipality of Gurinhatã, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The occurrence described here is the first dinosaur osteological remains documented in this municipality. Although incomplete, Paleo-UFG/V-0039 could be identified as an indeterminate lithostrotian titanosaur whose morphology is similar to some appendicular elements of European species than South American ones. However, the incompleteness of the specimen has difficult complex interpretations. Finally, Paleo-UFG/V-0039 highlights the importance of the Gurinhatã outcrops and other sites in this region for future discoveries.

We present the first report of Nasutitermes guayanae feeding on human bone remains found in an urban area of the municipality of Florencia, Caquetá, Colombia, in the Colombian Amazon piedmont. The record indicates an expansion in the diet of these termites. The observation suggests that the association of N. guayanae with decomposing bodies may be a possible tool for the estimation of postmortem intervals.
Presentamos el primer reporte de Nasutitermes guayanae alimentándose de restos óseos humanos encontrados en un área urbana del município de Florencia, Caquetá, Colombia, en el Piedemonte Amazónico colombiano. El registro indica una expasión en la dieta de esas térmitas. La observación sugiere que la asociación de N. guayanae con cuerpos en descomposición puede ser una posible herramienta para la estimación de intervalos postmortem.

This paper aimed at reporting the creation of brachycephalic and dolichocephalic 3D synthetic anatomical models of canine heads (3D SAMCH) as a complementary technique to traditional osteotechnique using Computed Tomography (CT) images in volumetric reconstruction. The study was carried out in three stages, namely: a) preparation of canine heads in natura; b) creation of digital files of canine heads using CT; and c) 3D printing of synthetic anatomical models of canine heads. As a result, two 3D SAMCH were produced due to rarer availability in Animal Anatomy laboratories collections; the important representation of the cribriform plate was possible, but a remarkable defect presented was the teeth. It concluded that the digital files creation through CT scanner allows a fine representation of canine heads if considered pros and cons regarding the use of synthetic models instead of natural bones.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar a criação de modelos anatômicos 3D sintéticos de cabeças de cães braquicé-falo e dolicocéfalo (3D SAMCH) como técnica complementar à osteotécnica tradicional por meio de imagens de Tomografia Computadorizada (TC) para reconstrução volumétrica. O estudo foi realizado em três etapas, a saber: a) preparação do esque-leto de cabeças caninas in natura; b) criação de arquivos digitais de cabeças caninas por meio da TC; e, c) impressão 3D de modelos anatômicos sintéticos de cabeças caninas. Como resultado, dois modelos 3D SAMCH foram produzidos devido à disponibilidade mais rara das respectivas peças anatômicas originais nos acervos dos laboratórios de Anatomia Animal; a importante representação da placa cribriforme foi possível, mas um defeito notável apresentado nos modelos sintéticos foram os dentes. Conclui-se que a criação de arquivos digitais por meio da tomografia computadorizada permitiu uma representação precisa das cabeças caninas se considerados os prós e os contras quanto ao uso de modelos sintéticos em vez de ossos naturais.

Purpose: To assess the effect of a collagen matrix (Mucograft®) on the inflammatory process in a semi-critical experimental defect model in rats treated with bisphosphonates. Methods: Eighteen Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: saline (CG), alendronate (ALD) 5mg/kg (AG) or zoledronic acid (ZA) 0.2mg/kg (ZG). ALD was administered orally for 10 weeks and ZA was administered intravascularly on days 0, 7 and 14 and 49. On day 42, a 2mm defect was created and filled with Mucograft® collagen matrix. The contralateral side was filled with a clot (control side). The animals were euthanized 70 days after the beginning of the experiment and the hemimandibles were radiographically and histologically (counting of empty osteocyte lacunae (%), apoptotic (%) and total osteoclasts, neutrophil and mononuclear inflammatory cells) analyzed. The variables were submitted to ANOVA/Bonferroni and t test (parametric data) (p 0.05, GraphPad Prism 5.0). Results: Significant bone repair occurred in the groups treated with Mucograft®. High number of total inflammatory cells and neutrophils cells were showed in AG (p=0.026 and p=0.035) and AZ groups (p=0.005, p=0.034) on the control sides associated with delayed bone repair and the presence of devitalized bone tissue in AG and ZG on the Mucograft® side. Conclusion: Mucograft® collagen matrix attenuated the inflammatory process in a mandible defect in rats submitted to the use of bisphosphonates (AG and ZG).(AU)

In bovines, fore and hind lateral claws are larger than the medial claws and the heel are deeper and the sole thicker. On this anatomical basis, we hypothesized that it must imply a form (size+shape) asymmetry of the digits. To test this hypothesis, we studied the acropodiums (digital series) of 15 young bovines belonging to Brown Pyrenean breed, irrespective of the gender. Dorso-plantar radiographies were obtained for each hindlimb and the form was studied in a sample of 30 hindlimbs (15 right and 15 left). Images were studied by geometric morphometric methods. A set of 7 paired landmarks on medial and lateral digital series and one axial landmark was used for the study. Lateral and medial digits were uneven both in size and shape, expressing both fluctuating and directional asymmetries. Directional asymmetries would suggest a different function in weight bearing. We hypothesize lateral digits serve to stabilize the centre of gravity to a greater extent than medial digits. These findings prompt careful reassessment of the function of each of the digital series during standing and during locomotion in future researches.
Em bovinos, cascos laterais anteriores e posteriores são maiores que os cascos mediais, o talão é mais profundo e o sola mais grosso. Nesta base anatômica, supomos que deve implicar em uma assimetria de forma (tamanho+forma pura) dos dígitos. Para testar essa hipótese, estudamos os acropodiums (série digital) de 15 bovinos jovens pertencentes à raça Pyrenean Brown, independentemente do sexo. Radiografias dorso-plantar foram obtidas para cada membro posterior e a forma foi estudada em uma amostra de 30 membros (15 à direita e 15 à esquerda). As imagens foram estudadas por métodos geométricos morfométricos. Um conjunto de 7 pontos de referência emparelhados em séries digitais medial e lateral e um marco axial foram usados para o estudo. Os dígitos laterais e medial eram irregulares tanto em tamanho quanto em forma, expressando assimetrias flutuantes e direcionais. Assimimetrias direcionais sugerem uma função diferente para suportar peso. Nós hipotetizamos que os dígitos laterais servem para estabilizar o centro de gravidade em maior medida do que os dígitos mediais. Esses achados sugerem uma reavaliação cuidadosa da função de cada uma das séries digitais durante a posição e durante a locomoção em pesquisas futuras.

Objetivou-se estimar nível ótimo de zinco e de manganês de frangos aos 21 e 42 dias, e comparar métodos para quantificar a mineralização óssea, confiabilidade do teste, tempo de execução e efeito da extração da gordura, visando viabilizar procedimento técnico mais prático em termos laboratoriais. Em cada experimento, foram distribuídos 320 pintinhos machos em gaiolas metabólicas, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com oito tratamentos e cinco repetições de oito aves cada. No experimento 1, a inclusão de sulfato de zinco foi de 0,60 e 100 mg/kg e de zinco metionina de 20, 40, 60, 80 e 100 mg/kg. No experimento 2, o sulfato de manganês adicionado foi de 0,65 e 100 mg/kg e de manganês metionina de 25, 45, 65, 85 e 105 mg/kg. O zinco e manganês não interferiram nas características ósseas, independente da fonte e nível. A mineralização óssea aumentou conforme elevou-se a concentração dos microminerais, independente da fonte em que estes foram estudados. O método mais adequado para determinação do teor de zinco e de manganês é com a utilização de tíbias. Não há necessidade de extração de gordura da tíbia para determinação do teor de zinco ou de manganês e a análise pode ser realizada com menor tempo de execução sem detrimento dos resultados.
The objective of this study was to estimate the optimal zinc and manganese levels for bone mineralization of broilers at 21 and 42 days of age, besides the methods comparison for quantifying the degree of bone mineralization, reliability test, execution time and effect of fat extraction, aiming to make feasible a more practical technical procedure in laboratory terms. In each experiment, 320 male chicks were housed in iron mesh metabolic cages, distributed according to a completely randomized experimental design in eight treatments with five replicates of eight birds each. In experiment 1, zinc sulfate was included at 0, 60, and 100 mg/kg and zinc methionine at 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mg/kg. In experiment 2, manganese sulfate was added at 0, 65, and 105 mg/kg and manganese methionine at 25, 45, 65, 85, and 105 mg/kg. The evaluated trace minerals (zinc and manganese) did not interfere in the evaluated bone characteristics, regardless of source or level. The degree of bone mineralization increased according to the concentration of zinc and manganese in the diet, regardless of source of these trace elements. The most appropriate method to determine the zinc and manganese content is with the use of tibias. There is no need to extract fat from the tibia to determine the zinc or manganese content, and the analysis can be performed with less time of execution without detriment of the results.

Background: Adjustable nylon ties polyamide 6.6 is devices produced from the same material of surgical nylon wire and have been used in different surgical procedures in small animals and in human patient. Reports regarding the use of these devices as secondary fixation technique of femoral diaphyseal fractures in animals are rare in the literature. The aim of the present report case was to describe the use of adjustable nylon tie polyamide 6.6 as secondary fixation technique in a 3-year-old dog and 4-month-old cat, diagnosed with femoral diaphyseal fractures.Cases: Case 1. A 3-year-old female dog was presented with reluctance to support the left hind limb, with 5 days duration. Pain and edema on the left femoral diaphyseal region was identified. The limb was submitted to radiographic exam and revealed a closed, complete and comminuted fracture of the diaphysis of the femur, and was decided to perform a surgical stabilization by open reduction through primary fixation with intramedullary pin, and secondary fixation of bone fragments with adjustable nylon ties polyamide 6.6, as a substitute of steel cerclage wire. The bone fragments were alignment and fixated with five polyamide nylon ties. The excess was removed with a scalpel blade along the lock. Seven days after surgery the skin sutures were removed and were observed reluctance to support the left hind limb. Physiotherapy sessions were prescribed. Forty days after the surgery was performed a radiographic exam of the left hind limb which revealed alignment of the bone axis. Six months after the surgery, the owner reported that the dog supported the left hind limb. Case 2. A 4-month-old female cat was presented with history of trauma, with 24 hs duration, and reluctance in supporting the left hind limb. On physical examination there was identified pain on the left femoral diaphyseal region.[...]

The carpus is a complex articulation, which is often involved in injuries in equine athletes. The objective of this study was to suggest a didactic approach for ultrasonography training for the examination of the carpal joint in horses. Ultrasonograhy examination was performed in a healthy 14-year-old horse. The images were compared with those of a dissected anatomic specimen of the carpal region of a senior horse and with those reported in the literature. Identifiable structures were as follows: (dorsal) tendon of the muscle extensor carpi radialis, tendon of the muscle extensor carpi obliquus, tendon of the muscle commom digital extensor, dorsal synovial outpouchings, joint capsule and fat cushion, (lateral) tendon of the muscle lateral digital extensor, lateral collateral ligament (deep and superficial components), (medial) medial collateral ligament (deep and superficial components) and (palmar) palmar intercarpal ligament, carpal sheath, carpal tunnel, superficial digital flexor tendon, proximal origin of the deep digital flexor tendon, and palmar carpal ligament. Prior knowledge of the anatomy in combination with the study of anatomical specimens is essential for recognizing musculoskeletal structures during ultrasound examination, contributing to the training and learning processes.
O carpo é uma articulação complexa que, com frequência, é sede das doenças que acometem cavalos atletas. O objetivo deste estudo foi sugerir uma abordagem didática para o treinamento de exame ultrassonográfico do carpo em equinos. Foi realizado o exame ultrassonográfico de um equino hígido de catorze anos, as imagens foram comparadas com uma peça anatômica dissecada da mesma região de um cadáver de equino sênior e com dados da literatura. As estruturas passíveis de identificação foram: (dorsal) tendão do músculo extensor carporradial, tendão do músculo extensor oblíquo do carpo, tendão do músculo extensor digital comum, recessos sinoviais dorsais, cápsula articular, coxim de gordura, (lateral) tendão do músculo extensor digital lateral, ligamento colateral lateral (componente profundo e superficial), (medial) ligamento colateral medial (componente profundo e superficial), (palmar) ligamento intercarpiano palmar, bainha carpal, canal carpal, tendão do músculo flexor digital superficial, origem proximal do tendão do músculo flexor digital profundo e o ligamento carpal palmar. O conhecimento prévio da anatomia associada ao estudo em peças anatômicas são elementos essenciais para o reconhecimento das estruturas musculoesqueléticas ao ultrassom, contribuindo para o treinamento e processo de aprendizagem.
