Published: August 2023

The efficacy and utility of pentachrome staining has been demonstrated in many studies on diverse human body tissues. Movat pentachrome technique is used for multicolor staining of tissue sections and vascular and stroma visualization. So far, the utility of this method for microanatomical evaluation of placental structures has not been demonstrated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the image of normal placenta and to develop some reference images for future evaluation of pathological tissues based on this technique. Material and method. The study was carried out on 21 paraffin slices taken from seven mature human placenta of single pregnant women without significant pathology and completed with a planned, elective Caesarean section. All paraffin slices were used for preparation of tissue microarrays and then performing a histochemical staining (HE and Movat). Results. On the basis of the collected material, microscopic analysis enabled the identification of normal placental villi - terminal villi,mature intermediate villi and stem villi. Moreover the maternal part of placenta was visualized. It is worth emphasizing that in each case not only the trophoblast but also the stroma structures were visualized. Conclusions. This study proved the effectiveness and usefulness of Movat imaging of placenta especially in visualization of the stroma.
Special Monographic Issue on the History of Human Anatomy and the Anatomical Bases of Palaeopathology
Authors: Galassi Francesco M. , Bianucci Raffaella
Published: August 2023

It is our distinguished pleasure to introduce this special monographic issue of the Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology dedicated to the topics of the history of the anatomical sciences and the morphological bases of palaeopathological studies. These two branches of human anatomy, though deemed interesting and relevant to the field by a large number of scholars worldwide, are too often neglected or not developed into a self-standing, productive field of research and teaching, especially in Italy. This is particularly sad and detrimental if one considers that human anatomy was reborn in Italy after centuries of intellectual stagnation first at Bologna thanks to the teaching of the Mediaeval scholar Mondino de’ Liuzzi and later, during the Renaissance, owing to the interest showed by artists in the correct representation of human morphology and bodily proportions. 

This shows how rediscovering the discipline’s history inevitably leads its students to the realisation of the existence of an interplay between the figurative arts and the study of the human body, a bond which until the late 19th century was perceived as evident, self-explanatory and indissoluble. Moreover, it was precisely in that century that, from the anatomical discipline and its sub-branch osteology, stemmed biological anthropology, a subject which, now greatly enriched by biomolecular studies and by the assessment of mummified human remains, can help us discover the antiquity of humankind, its evolution as much as that of the diseases that characterised its historical path, a field traditionally called “palaeopathology”. 

In this collection of contributions encompassing all of the aforementioned areas of research and anatomical knowledge, we aim to stimulate our colleagues and students to rediscover the importance of these topics and to develop them into a higher research platform capable of bridging the so-called hard biomedical sciences and the humanities. 

Finally, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to Professor Domenico Ribatti, the journal’s editorial board and the Società Italiana di Anatomia e Istologia for kindly accepting our proposal and for the invaluable support they gave us throughout the editorial process. In addition, we would like to thank all the contributors and anonymous reviewers who have made this issue possible.

Published: August 2023

This work aimed to study the effect of body weight gain in individuals with or without diabetes mellitus Type 2 (DMT2) on the nervous system. Seventy-five subjects participated in this study, including 25 obese patients with DMT2 (BMI≥30kg/m2), 25 obese individuals without diabetes (BMI≥30kg/m2) and normal-weight healthy (BMI˂25kg/m2). In addition to body mass index (BMI), the west/hip ratio (WHR) and total body fat (TBF%) were calculated. 10ml of blood was collected from participants and used to determine the levels of HbA1C, noradrenaline (NA), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF) and fasting blood glucose (FBG). The level of NGF increased while BDNF and NA levels decreased in obese with and without diabetes compared to control. Interestingly, BDNF level was significantly higher in the obese with diabetes than without. Moreover, TBF% and WHR values were significantly higher in the obese with diabetes when compared with those without diabetes. At the same time, there were no significant differences between BMI value in these two groups. BMI, TBF% and WHR significantly correlate with FBG, HbA1C and NGF and negative significant correlation with BDNFdoes not correlate; only WHR has no correlationdoes and does not correlate with NA. As well as, HbA1C has a significant correlation with the nerve markers, positive with BDNF and NGF and negative with NA, while FBG did not correlate with them. In conclusion, neurotransmitters and neurotrophin levels could use as risk factors for diabetes, and obesity could be considered as a risk factor for neuropathy as much as diabetes.

Published: August 2023

The objective of this investigation was to analyse soccer player’s perception of coaching behavior in Timor-Leste, comparing coaching experience (experienced vs inexperienced coaches) and age-categories (under-10 vs under-14 male). Data was collected using the Coach Behavior Assessment System questionnaire. Two experienced coaches and three inexperienced coaches from five different soccer clubs were subjects of the investigation. Seventy-five under-10 and one hundred and forty-two under-14 players responded the questionnaire. A Kruskal-Wallis test was completed to evaluate differences between the two scenarios. Statistical differences were observed in inexperienced coaches for mistakes/errors and misbehaviors as rated by the players, and in experienced coaches for general technical instruction. Under-14 players revealed significantly higher scores to the opposing age group for all spontaneous behaviors and for positive reinforcement, mistake-contingent encouragement, and mistake-contingent technical instruction, while Under-10s rated higher behaviors for keeping control. Timorese’s soccer coaches should promote a positive and reinforced training environment that can be focused on player’s progress. It is recommended a more holistic approach to coach educational programs.

Published: August 2023

The objective of this case report is to explore whether genetic testing is appropriate to guide the treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). In this case report, we describe a 27-year-old female who had no significant medical history and no tumor detected in the thyroid gland by ultrasound or computed tomography (CT), but had multiple enlarged lymph nodes at the right cervical lymph node levels II, III, IV, and V. The intraoperative frozen section pathology results showed that seven out of 23 right lymph nodes were metastatic from thyroid papillary carcinoma, but no primary lesion was found in the thyroid gland. After multiple post-operative sampling and micro section, only a 1 mm papillary carcinoma in the left thyroid gland was identified. The genetic testing result showed that the patient was positive for CCDC6-exon 1-RET-exon 12 fusion. The final diagnosis of the patient was left thyroid micro-papillary carcinoma (1 mm) with the right lateral cervical lymph node metastasis. She received iodine-131 treatment with nuclide and lifelong levothyroxine therapy in the 3rd month after surgery. Continuous follow-up showed no elevation of thyroglobulin, no recurrence signs on positron emission tomography-CT re-examination, and good self-reported health status. In conclusion, the identification of CCDC6-RET fusion by genetic testing in the PTMC case aided diagnosis and treatment.

Mental health is increasingly seen as fundamental to human functioning, comprising psychological, emotional, personal and social well- being. The world is continuously becoming more globalized, which has made cross-national migration, both attractive as well as attainable. This trend has probably contributed to the increased attention given to immigrants’ mental health as it has made their often-difficult situations more visible.
Objectives: To assess the effect of nationality and duration of immigration in relation to both positive and negative measures of mental health.
Method: The data was collected on 280 immigrants (140 Indian and 140 Nepali) aged 20-60 years. To measure positive dimensions of mental health Psychological Immunogens Questionnaire (PIQ) and Life Satisfaction scale was used. DASS-42 (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale) was utilized to assess the negative dimensions of mental health. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was computed.
Results: The findings of the ANOVA have suggested that there are differences in perceived distress between Indian and Nepali immigrants which are mostly affected by duration of migration. Further, there were also differences in their level of psychological immunogens and life satisfaction based on their nationality and duration of migration.
Conclusion: Perceived distress varied with nationality and duration. Subsist with changing environment in host society depends on personal psychological resources of immigrants’.

Nanomedicine strategies to counteract cancer stemness and chemoresistance
Authors: Liu Huayu , Liu Mingqi , Zhao Yanan , Mo Ran
Published: August 2023

Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) identified by self-renewal ability and tumor-initiating potential are responsible for tumor recurrence and metastasis in many cancers. Conventional chemotherapy fails to eradicate CSCs that hold a state of dormancy and possess multi-drug resistance. Spurred by the progress of nanotechnology for drug delivery and biomedical applications, nanomedicine has been increasingly developed to tackle stemness-associated chemotherapeutic resistance for cancer therapy. This review focuses on advances in nanomedicine-mediated therapeutic strategies to overcome chemoresistance by specifically targeting CSCs, the combination of chemotherapeutics with chemopotentiators, and programmable controlled drug release. Perspectives from materials and formulations at the nano-scales are specifically surveyed. Future opportunities and challenges are also discussed.
Protein ISGylation: a posttranslational modification with implications for malignant neoplasms
Authors: Tecalco-Cruz Angeles C. , Zepeda-Cervantes Jesús
Published: August 2023

Interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is a member of the ubiquitin-like (UBL) protein family that can modify specific proteins via a catalytic process called ISGylation. This posttranslational modification can modulate the stability of the ISGylated proteins and protein-protein interactions. Some proteins modified by ISG15 have been identified in malignant neoplasms, suggesting the functional relevance of ISGylation in cancer. This review discusses the ISGylated proteins reported in malignant neoplasms that suggest the potential of ISG15 as a biomarker and therapeutic target in cancer.
