RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The architecture of perirectal fasciae is complex as mirrored by different anatomical concepts. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to perform a comprehensive visualization of perirectal fasciae to facilitate strategies of rectal surgery such as total mesorectal excision, intersphincteric resection, and transanal total mesorectal excision. DESIGN: Macroscopic dissection and histologic studies of perirectal fasciae and autonomic pelvic nerves were performed. SETTINGS: This study was conducted in a university laboratory of macroscopic and microscopic anatomy. PATIENTS: Thirteen (5 female) pelvic specimens were obtained from body donors (67-92 years of age). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes measured were the photodocumentation of perirectal fasciae, spaces and fusion zones, and histologic and immunohistochemical analysis of key structures. RESULTS: The retrorectal space is a mesofascial interface between the mesorectal fascia and the parietal pelvic fascia. The parietal pelvic fascia is composed of 2 lamellae ensheathing the autonomic pelvic nerves. The outer lamella of the parietal pelvic fascia and the presacral fascia confine the presacral space. The presacral fascia covers the median sacral blood vessels. Approximately at the fourth sacral vertebra, all fascial layers fuse in the midline and are densely connected to the posterior rectal wall via the rectosacral ligament. The parietal pelvic fascia fuses with the pubococcygeal and longitudinal rectal muscles at the anorectal junction. Anterolaterally, the neurovascular bundles are closely related to this fascial fusion zone and the rectogenital septum. LIMITATIONS: Because of the increased age of the body donors, the findings may be subjected to age-related degenerative processes. CONCLUSIONS: The 2 lamellae of the parietal pelvic fascia and the fascial fusion zones are key structures of perirectal anatomy. For autonomic nerve preservation, the recognition of the inner lamella of the parietal pelvic fascia is crucial. To avoid inadvertent rectal perforation or accidental presacral dissection, the rectosacral ligament must be identified and transected for complete rectal mobilization.

ANATOMÍA FASCIAL PERIRRECTAL: NUEVOS CONCEPTOS SOBRE UN ANTIGUO PROBLEMA: La arquitectura de las fascias perirrectales es compleja, reflejada por distintos conceptos anatómicos.Integración de conceptos sobre las fascias perirrectales para facilitar las estrategias de cirugía rectal, como la escisión mesorrectal total, la resección interesfintérica y la escisión mesorrectal total transanal.Disección macroscópica y estudios histológicos de fascias perirrectales y nervios pélvicos autonómicos.Laboratorio universitario de anatomía macroscópica y microscópica.Trece (5 mujeres) muestras pélvicas obtenidas de donantes de cuerpo (67-92 años).Foto documentación de fascias perirrectales, espacios y zonas de fusión, análisis histológico e inmunohistoquímico de estructuras claves.El espacio retrorectal es una interfaz mesofascial entre la fascia mesorrectal y la fascia pélvica parietal. Este último se compone de dos láminas que envuelven los nervios pélvicos autonómicos. La lámina externa de la fascia pélvica parietal y la fascia presacra definen el espacio presacro. La fascia presacra cubre los vasos sanguíneos sacros medianos. Aproximadamente en la cuarta vértebra sacra, todas las capas fasciales se unen en la línea media y están densamente conectadas a la pared rectal posterior a través del ligamento rectosacro. La fascia pélvica parietal se une con los músculos rectal pubococcígeo y longitudinal en la unión anorrectal. Anterolateralmente, los haces neurovasculares están estrechamente relacionados con esta zona de fusión fascial y el tabique rectogenital.Debido al aumento de la edad de los donantes de cuerpos, los hallazgos pueden estar sujetos a procesos degenerativos relacionados con la edad.Las dos láminas de la fascia pélvica parietal y las zonas de fusión fascial son estructuras claves de la anatomía perirrectal. Para la preservación del nervio autónomo de nervios pélvicos autonómicos, el reconocimiento de la lámina interna de la fascia pélvica parietal es importante. Para evitar la perforación rectal inadvertida o la disección presacra accidental, el ligamento rectosacro debe ser identificado y seccionado para una movilización rectal completa.

RESUMEN

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are widely used in consumer products today. In this study, we assessed the effects of CNFs on the digestive system of three freshwater invertebrate species (Gammaridae, Ephemerellidae, and Chironomidae). The aquatic insects Diamesa sp., Drunella cryptomeria, and Gammarus suifunensis were incubated with the CNFs at the concentration of 100 mg/L during the 7-days period. Histological examination of the whole specimens and the longitudinal sections revealed no toxic effects of CNFs. However, a noticeable change in the structure of the CNFs accumulated in the intestines of the aquatic insects was found by Raman spectroscopy. The registered decrease in the relative proportion of amorphous carbon included in the CNF sample was found in the intestines of Diamesa sp. and D. cryptomeria. The registered effect can indicate a biodegradation of amorphous carbon in the digestive tract of these two insect species. In contrast, the decrease of highly structured carbons and the decrease of G-bonds intensity were registered in the digestive tract of G. suifunensis. This observation demonstrates the partial biodegradation of CNFs in the digestive tract of G. suifunensis.

RESUMEN

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most aggressive malignant tumor of the central nervous system. Due to the absence of effective pharmacological and surgical treatments, the identification of early diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers is of key importance to improve the survival rate of patients and to develop new personalized treatments. On these bases, the aim of this review article is to summarize the current knowledge regarding the application of molecular biology and proteomics techniques for the identification of novel biomarkers through the analysis of different biological samples obtained from glioblastoma patients, including DNA, microRNAs, proteins, small molecules, circulating tumor cells, extracellular vesicles, etc. Both benefits and pitfalls of molecular biology and proteomics analyses are discussed, including the different mass spectrometry-based analytical techniques, highlighting how these investigation strategies are powerful tools to study the biology of glioblastoma, as well as to develop advanced methods for the management of this pathology.

RESUMEN

Telomerase is the enzyme that maintains telomere length by adding telomeric repeats after each cell division. Numerous metabolic factors such as obesity, insulin resistance or physical inactivity have been associated with shortened telomeres. In the present study, we assessed telomerase activity in diabetic patients having or not foot ulcer. A total of 90 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were studied. Patients were allocated into two groups according to the absence or presence of active foot ulcers as follows: Νon-ulcer group (N=58) and ulcer group (N=32). Our data revealed that the patients with diabetic ulcers had significantly greater waist circumference and neuropathy disability score, while exhibiting lower telomerase activity, indicating the possible existence of a common clinical profile among ulcer-bearing diabetic patients. Validation of our findings by extending the study in larger patient groups may contribute to the understanding of T2DM pathophysiology and its main clinical implications.
