Morphological study of bone cranial in athymic mice

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
The aim of our research was to create an osteogenic unit in the skulls of athymic mice; however, the first challenge we faced was to find sufficient and adequate data that would allow us to determine the morphological, immunohistochemical and microtopographical characteristics that could be used as norma...

Estudio morfométrico del nervio óptico de tiburoncito (Ariopsis seemanni)

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
En peces, el nervio óptico es el encargado de transportar la información integrada por las células ganglionares de la retina hacia el tectum óptico, para que se generen imágenes acerca del entorno. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir morfométricamente el nervio óptico del tiburoncito (Ariopsi...

Immunopathological features developing in the mosquito midgut after feeding on anopheles gambiae mucin-1 / interleukin-12 cDNA immunized mice

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
The mosquito midgut is the organ into which the blood meal passes and in which, within a peritrophic membrane secreted by the epithelium, the blood is retained during digestion and absorption. The mosquito midgut is lined with an actin filled microvilli that are exposed to the harsh environment of the gu...

Criopreservación de espermatozoides caninos a - 80c

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
La congelación y almacenamiento en nitrógeno líquido (N2L) es la técnica más utilizada para preservar el semen de canino y de otras especies domésticas durante largos períodos de tiempo. Este estudio fue diseñado para validar el uso del ultracongelador de -80C para congelar y almacenar semen cani...

Piecewise straight line approximation of curve existing in slightly curved mesiobuccal root canal of mandibular first molar: a radiographic investigation

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
The aim of this study was to radiographically investigate the curve existing in slightly curved mesiobuccal canal of mandibular first molar by applying Piecewise straight line approximation. Extracted human mandibular molars were radiographed and one hundred radiographs were selected whose mesiobuccal ca...

Quick and inexpensive method to elaborate tissue punches useful in paraffin tissue microarrays

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
The tissue microarrays (TMAs) were first called multitumor block. In 1998 was described the current technique, that uses an innovated sampling method for more than 1,000 cylindrical paraffin tissue core biopsies in a single paraffin block. TMAs are now considered as a useful powerful research tool in His...

Double root anatomical variations in a single patient: endodontic treatment and rehabilitation of a three-rooted first premolar: case report

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
Abnormal interaction between oral epithelium and underlying mesenchematic tissue during odontogenesis could result in teeth with an anatomical variation. First maxilar premolar has such variable root canal morphology. However, (0.2-6% of cases) a three-rooted premolar is particularly uncommon. First mand...

Quantitative morphology update: image analysis

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
Quantitative morphology is a reliable tool in developmental, clinical and aging biology. Quantitative data of histological improvement and/or impairment due to dietary manipulations or pharmacological interventions draws the attention of countless researchers worldwide. Morphometry allows a wide range of...

Body height and its estimation utilizing arm span measurements in Serbian adults

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
Anthropologists recognized the tallness of nations in the Dinaric Alps long time ago. As the modern Serbians fall more into the Dinaric racial classification than any other does, the purpose of this study was to examine the body height in Serbian adults as well as the relationship between arm span as an ...
