The anatomical variables of the sapheno-popliteal junction visualization by radiological and echographic examinations.

Increasing interest on the short saphenous vein has been induced by its employment as autologus graft in arterial surgery and for being held responsible for the onset and development of varicose veins of the lower limbs and postoperative recurrence. These two clinical conditions require a more precise assessment of the short saphenous anatomy and its variables previously described in literature. A verify of the anatomical variations of the sapheno-popliteal junction and of the short saphenous outlet in 528 not randomized limbs was performed in separate groups by the following methods: High Resolution Echography, preoperative ascending Phlebography, preoperative Digital Phlebography, intraoperative Selective Phlebography. A high number of anatomical variations was found (29.8%) and the conclusion was that modest differences between published data by other Authors and the results of this study were found. The ideal diagnostic approach for these anatomical variations is the intraoperative Selective Phlebography in cases systematically selected by preoperative High Resolution Echography.

Internal diameters of human femoral blood vessels in 50 healthy subjects using color Doppler ultrasonography.

50 healthy subjects (25 men and 25 women; age range: 18 to 80 years) have been examined. The internal calibers of the common femoral artery, of the superficial femoral artery, of the common femoral vein, and of the superficial femoral vein have been measured in selected locations using Color Doppler Ultrasonography. The difference in vessel caliber between men and women was statistically significant (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in left versus right vessel calibers for all the four vessels studied. In the same subject, vessel caliber was directly proportional in the left compared to the right side (p < 0.01). Both in the left and in the right side, arterial and venous calibers of the same subject in the same side were directly proportional (p < 0.01). The relationship between the calibers of the four vessels under study and age, height, and body surface area were not statistically significant.

Histochemical study of the epithelial mucins in the gizzard of the chick embryo.

Histochemical methods used to investigate the appearance and the changes of the epithelial mucins produced by the lining and glandular epithelium of the chick embryo gizzard from the 7th day of incubation to hatching. Carboxylated, sulfated and neutral mucins appeared simultaneously at the superficial layer of the lining epithelium (7th day), at cells located in the inner part of the lining epithelium surrounding intercellular spaces (9th day) and at the tubular glands (15th day). During the period of incubation considered, an increase and decrease in the production of the various mucins were observed at the lining epithelium. However, a gradual increase of mucous production was detected at the ephitelial cells surrounding intercellular spaces (from the 9th to the 17th day) and at the tubular glands (from the 15th to the 21st day). Moreover, three different overlapping steps of mucous release were observed during the development of the gizzard. The histochemical characteristics and the trend of production of the mucous material in the gizzard during the embryonic development were different when compared with those found in the proventriculus (Sgambati et al., 1995). These differences are probably related to the different function of the mucins in the two parts of the stomach.
