Heterotopic Peripheral Nerves Related to Sternal Abnormalities in Two Male B6C3F1 Mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the sternum of two male B6C3F1 (SPF) mice used in a 104-week oncogenicity study, there was a developmental abnormality, not visible at necropsy. In one case, there was a large peripheral nerve of unknown origin located at a lateral parallel position to the normal appearing sternal segment. In the other case, there was a misshaped sternum with shorten segments and a cleft (sternoshisis). Within the cleft, a large nerve was present. It connected three large ganglia, each one was located within the cleft between each of the three segments.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is known to affect essentially the central nervous system; however, peripheral nerve involvement, as an additional cause of disability, has been recently noticed. Objectives: This study was aimed to perform detailed electrodiagnostic assessments in MS patients to evaluate peripheral nervous system involvement. Materials and Methods: A total of eighty MS...
متن کاملThe role of the desert hedgehog signaling pathway during degeneration and regeneration of peripheral nerves
The desert hedgehog (Dhh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of peripheral nerves (PNs). Dhh-null mice show abnormal neuronal development and perineurial barrier function. As it was previously shown that dhh is mainly expressed in developmental nerves and Sonic hedgehog protein (dhh homologous) has therapeutic effects in neuronal survival, we attempted to investigate the possible ...

متن کاملReview of experimental carcinogenesis by compounds related to vinyl chloride.
The experimental carcinogenesis results in six compounds related to vinyl chloride are reported. Vinylidene chloride, given by inhalation, was carcinogenic in male CD-1 mice, male CD rats, Sprague-Dawley rats and male Swiss mice. Trichloroethylene, given by gavage and inhalation, was carcinogenic in the B6C3F1 mice. When given by gavage, perchloroethylene was carcinogenic in the B6C3F1 mice, an...
متن کاملComparison of age-related peripheral nerve changes in mice housed in either plastic cages with sawdust-covered solid flooring or wire-mesh-floor cages.
A comparative histologic survey was conducted on the dorsal root, sciatic, tibial and medial plantar nerves of 90- and 110-week-old B6C3F1 female mice reared in either solid-floor cages covered in sawdust or wire-mesh-floor cages. Age-related peripheral nerve lesions, characterized by axonal degeneration and remyelination, were present in all nerves surveyed, and were especially prominent in th...
