JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA study of 50 formol-fixed specimens of the Abductor digiti minimi was carried out. The muscle arose from the pisiform bone and sometimes presented small bundles of fibers which originated from the pisohamate ligament or from the flexor retinaculum. The muscle was inserted into the ulnar side of the base of the proximal phalanx of the little finger. In 16% of the cases, its tendon gave off an expansion which was inserted into the dorsal aponeurosis of the little finger. The muscle presented, “in situ”, an apparent fusiform aspect but it was actually a pennate muscle composed of two well-defined bundles. In 78% of the cases, the muscle was found to be fused with the Flexor digiti minimi brevis.View full abstractDownload PDF (1854K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis investigation reveals that the pattern of the anterior attachments of the superficial fibers of the long plantar ligament is markedly variable according to individuals, unlike the usual descriptions in anatomy textbooks. The variation is classified into six types according to the kind of metatarsal bone set to which the fibers are attached. The most frequent type in the case of Japanese is the one in which the superficial fibers are attached to the second, third, fourth and fifth bases of the metatarsal bones. This type coincides with the description of some Japanese and many German textbooks, though these do not explain the existence of the various types.
The lateral calcaneometatarsal ligament is separable from the proper long plantar ligament and is located between the tuberosity on the fifth metatarsal bone and the lateral process on the calcaneal bone. This fact is described in few textbooks of anatomy. However, it is absent at a frequency of ca.24% in the Japanese, according to the present investigation.View full abstractDownload PDF (1130K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTrials to prevent fading of the color of tetramethylbenzidine reaction product were performed after injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into the vitreous body of albino rats. Sections mounted on slides were dried immediately after the end of the HRP histochemical reaction and soaked directly in chilled xylene. These procedures were performed in a dark room and the preparations were stored in a refrigerator. By means of this technique, almost all of the HRP positive fibers were observable even after 14 months of storage.View full abstractDownload PDF (1018K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe difference in the resistance to alkali or acid between collagenous and elastic fibers has been applied to differentiation of the two fibers. However, it is often difficult to keep the arterial elastic membrane intact and to recognize the direction of the artery correctly since the arterial tissue block has been hitherto simply scraped or teased with needles or pincettes in alkaline or acid solution. A newly devised method using heated potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution provides a simple technique for isolation of a large elastic fenestrated membrane in the muscular arterial wall. The characteristic of this method is handling of the isolated membrane in gradually diluted alkaline solutions after maceration in a strong alkaline medium. Internal elastic membrane with fenestrations has been found in all human arteries examined, although the size and form of the fenestrations have varied according to the age and arterial site. The detailed procedure and significance of this method have been discussed, suggesting its applicability to gerontological or pathological studies on the elastica of the arteries.View full abstractDownload PDF (2279K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSRare vascular anomalies were observed postmortem in a Japanese female (60-yearold).1) The common hepatic artery arose from the superior mesenteric artery, ascended on the anterior surface of the pancreas, where the right gastro-epiploic and right gastric arteries branched, and continued as a normally-positioned proper hepatic artery.2) Superior to the inferior phrenic arteries and along the caudal surface of the diaphragm, the left renal vein ran, collecting its usual tributaries; it emptied into the inferior vena cava 4 cm rostral and oppositethe right renal vein. The unusual common hepatic artery is thought to be comprised of the anterior branches of the superior and inferior pancreatico-duodenal arteries which enlarged in a compensation for dysgenesis of the usual common hepatic artery. The anomalous left renal vein suggests additional embryological anastomoses between the subcardinal veins rostral or superior to the omphalomesenteric artery.View full abstractDownload PDF (2205K)
