An anatomic study of the Martin-Gruber anastomosis: electrodiagnostic implications.

This study aimed to clarify the morphologic variations of the Martin-Gruber anastomosis (MGA) by tracing the anastomotic fascicles. We used 102 upper limbs, and MGA was found in 39.2%. Among 12 instances of MGA between the branches innervating the flexor digitorum profundus muscle, eight anastomotic branches solely innervated the muscle without crossover from median to ulnar nerve. The results of the present study showed three morphologic features of MGA that could not be detected by an electrodiagnostic method.

Morphological study on the rootlets comprising the root of the intermediate nerve.

The number and arising sites of the rootlet comprising the intermediate nerve root were investigated in 100 sides of human brains. The arising sites of the rootlets were the pons halfway between the facial and vestibulocochlear nerves (31.9%), the arising portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve on the pons (28.8%) and the stem of the vestibulocochlear nerve (15.9%). The number of roots varied from one to five, with the most common being one root (58%). The number of rootlets per root also varied from one to five. Most of the roots had one rootlet (63%), while 2% of the roots had five rootlets. The variation of the arising sites of the intermediate nerve rootlets and its clinical significance were also discussed.

K(VO)(SeO(3))(2)H: A New One-Dimensional Compound with Strong Hydrogen Bonding.

The hydrothermal synthesis, X-ray single crystal structure, magnetic properties, and solid state NMR and infrared spectroscopic data of a new compound, K(VO)(SeO(3))(2)H, are described. K(VO)(SeO(3))(2)H crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/m (No. 11), with a = 7.8659(7) Å, b = 10.4298(7) Å, c = 4.0872(7) Å, beta = 96.45(1) degrees, and Z = 4. The structure is described as parallel linear strands made of repeating [(VO)(SeO(3))(2)](2-) units. The chains are held together through hydrogen bondings between selenite oxygens, weak V=O.V=O bonds, and ionic bonds to the interchain K(+) ions. The hydrogen bonding in this compound shows many characteristics of the strong hydrogen bonding with a short O-O distance of 2.459(6) Å, a large down field shift of the proton NMR signal of 19 +/- 1 ppm, and a low O-H absorption frequency. However, the exact position of the hydrogen atom and, thus, the nature of the hydrogen bonding in this compound is unclear. Possible models for the hydrogen atom positions are discussed based on experimental and literature data. The magnetic susceptibility data show an antiferromagnetic coupling below 19 K. The curve can be explained with a 1-D Heisenberg model for S = (1)/(2) with J/k = 13.8 K and g = 1.97.

AVSeO(5) (A = Rb, Cs) and AV(3)Se(2)O(12) (A = K, Rb, Cs, NH(4)): Hydrothermal Synthesis in the V(2)O(5)-SeO(2)-AOH System and Crystal Structure of CsVSeO(5).

Hydrothermal reactions in the V(2)O(5)-SeO(2)-AOH systems (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH(4)) were studied with various reagent mole ratios. Typical millimole ratios were V(2)O(5)/SeO(2)/AOH = 5 or 3/15/x in 10-mL aqueous solutions, where x was 5, 10, 15, and 20. The reactions with x = 5 for A = K, Rb, Cs, and NH(4) at 230 degrees C produced single-phase products of the general formula AV(3)Se(2)O(12) with the (NH(4))(VO)(3)(SeO(3))(2) structure type. The x = 15 reactions for A = Rb and Cs yielded AVSeO(5) phases with a new structure type. The crystal structure for CsVSeO(5) was determined with X-ray single-crystal diffraction techniques to be monoclinic (P2(1) (No. 4), a = 7.887(3) Å, b = 7.843(2) Å, c = 9.497(3) Å, beta = 92.13(3) degrees, Z = 4). The structure of this compound consists of interwoven helixes extended in all three directions. The spires are composed of alternating SeO(3) and VO(5) units sharing common-edge oxygens in all three directions. For A = K and NH(4), the reactions of this mole ratio did not produce any identifiable phases. Each of the compounds is characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopic, and thermogravimetric techniques. The dependency of the synthesis results on the reaction conditions is discussed and rationalized.
