The current study determines the hypothesis that expression of protooncogenes c-fos and c-myc is involved in the mechanism of polyamine-stimulated healing in gastric mucosal stress ulcers. Rats were fasted 22 h, placed in restraint cages, and immersed in water to the xiphoid process for 2-6 h. Animals were killed either immediately after stress or at 2-h intervals up to 24 h after 6 h of stress. Stress caused both visible lesions and induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in the oxyntic gland mucosa after 2 h. Increased ODC activity was paralleled by increases in the mucosal polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. Exposure to stress led to appearance of c-fos mRNA and oncoprotein in the gastric oxyntic gland mucosa at 2 h and its disappearance by 4 h. Baseline expression of c-myc was enhanced significantly after 6 h of stress and remained elevated for 4 h. This change in the expression of c-fos and c-myc mRNA and oncoprotein preceded an increased rate of [3H]thymidine incorporation into mucosal DNA. Administration of alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO, 500 mg/kg ip) totally prevented the marked increases in ODC activity and polyamine levels. DFMO also completely inhibited the expression of c-fos and significantly decreased c-myc mRNA and oncoprotein in the gastric mucosa of stressed rats. The healing process, which was significant by 12 h, was markedly inhibited by DFMO. These results show that 1) mucosa exposed to stress exhibits increased expression of c-fos and c-myc following increased polyamine synthesis and 2) inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis by DFMO decreases both protooncogene expression and mucosal healing.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the chest wall shape in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) in comparison to healthy subjects and the association between the chest wall shape with the spine deformity and lung function in patients with AIS. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 30 AIS patients and 20 healthy subjects aged 11-18 years old. The Cobb angle evaluation was performed in AIS patients. The chest wall shape was assessed by the photogrammetry method, using the Postural Assessment Software (PAS). We created thoracic markers shaped as angles (A) and distances (D), as follows: A2 (right acromion/xiphoid/left acromion), A4L (angle formed between the outer point of the smallest waist circumference and its upper and lower edges on the left side), A7 (angle formed by the intersection of the tangent segments of the upper and lower scapulae angles), D1R/D1L [distance between the xiphoid process and the last false rib on the right (R) and left (L) sides], and D3 (distance between xiphoid process and anterior superior iliac spine). Results: The thoracic markers A2 and A7 were significantly higher, while the A4L and D1R/D1L were significantly reduced in the AIS group compared to the control. Moderate correlations were found between: A2 and the main and proximal thoracic Cobb angles (r=0.50, r=0.47, respectively); D1R/D1L and the main thoracic Cobb angle (r=- 0.40); and the forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and D3R (r=0.47). Conclusions: The photogrammetry method was able to detect chest wall changes in AIS patients, besides presenting correlation between Cobb angles and lung function.

Callithrix jacchus (common marmoset) is regularly used in biomedical research, including for studies involving the skeleton. To support these studies, skeletons of healthy animals that had been euthanized for reasons not interfering with skeletal anatomy were prepared. The marmoset dental formula 2I-1C-3P-2M of each oral quadrant is atypical for New World monkeys which commonly possess a third molar. Seven cervical, 12–13 thoracic, 7–6 lumbar, 2–3 sacral and 26–29 caudal vertebrae are present, the thoracolumbar region always comprising 19 vertebrae. A sigmoid clavicle connects the scapula with the manubrium of the sternum. Depending on the number of thoracic vertebrae, 4–5 sternebrae are located between the manubrium and xiphoid process. Wide interosseous spaces separate the radius from the ulna, and the tibia from the fibula. A small sesamoid bone is inserted in the m. abductor digiti primi longus at the medial border of the carpus, a pair of ovoid sesamoid bones is located at the palmar/plantar sides of the trochleae of each metapodial bone, and round fabellae articulate with the proximal surfaces of the femoral condyles. Male marmosets possess a small penile bone. Both the front and hind feet have five digits. The hallux possesses a flat nail, whereas all other digits present curved claws. Interestingly, a central bone is present in both the carpus and tarsus. This study provides a description and detailed illustrations of the skeleton of the common marmoset as an anatomical guide for further biomedical research.

Congenital sternal defects are rare deformities frequently associated with other anomalies of the chest wall and other organ systems. Although pectus excavatum, pectus carinatum, and cleft sternum can present as isolated deformity, in most cases they are associated with heart and inner organs anomalies and described as symptoms of syndromes like Marfan syndrome, Noonan syndrome, Poland anomaly, and Cantrell pentalogy. In contrast, the etiology of an isolated defect is not well understood. We observed a short sternum (dysmorphic manubrium, hypoplastic body, and complete absence of the xiphoid process) in a completely asymptomatic 13-year-old woman. A comprehensive instrumental exams panel was performed to exclude associated anomalies of the heart and of the other organ systems. The patient was completely asymptomatic and she did not need any medical or surgical treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first case of isolated short sternum reported in literature.
