The effects of dexpanthenol in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: histological, histochemical and immunological evidences.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of Dexpanthenol (Dxp) on liver and pancreas histology and cytokine levels in streptozotocine (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Twenty-four Wistar albino male rats were divided into four groups: control, Dxp, STZ-induced diabetic (STZ) and diabetic treatment with Dexpanthenol (STZ-Dxp) groups. Experimental diabetes was induced by single dose STZ (50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally (i.

Stereological estimation of the orbital volume: a criterion standard study.

Several methodologies have been proposed to assess the orbital volume (OV). However, we have not seen a criterion standard study evaluating the results of the methodologies for the assessment of OV. In the current study, the actual OV of 9 dry skulls was measured using the water filling method as the criterion standard.

Location and incidence of the zygomaticofacial foramen: An anatomic study.

The location and incidence of the zygomaticofacial foramen (ZFF) was studied in 80 dry skulls (160 sides) of unsexed adult skulls of West Anatolian people. The average distances from the ZFF to the frontozygomatic suture, to the zygomaticomaxillary suture, and to the inferior orbital rim were found to be 26.2 +/- 3.

The morphological and morphometric features of the scaphoid.

This cadaveric study used 200 scaphoid bones (100 left and 100 right) to assess 24 morphological and 11 morphometric parameters. At least one morphometric feature was absent in all scaphoids, though the tubercle and the dorsal sulcus were present in all instances. There were significant differences in the circumferences of the waist and the base of the tubercle, the width of the main sulcus and the secondary height of the tubercle between left and right scaphoids.
