In the periosteum of the human tibia, the arterial blood supply shows a general sectorial angioarchitecture. There are 4 segments: proximal and distal 1/5, proximal and distal diaphysis. The proximal 1/5 of the tibial periosteum is supplied with blood by the aa. recurrentes tibiales anterior et posterior and the aa. inferiores medialis et lateralis genus. At the proximal diaphysis (next 3/10 of the tibia) periosteal branches arise from the a. tibialis anterior and the a. tibialis posterior. The distal diaphysis (following 3/10 below the middle of the tibia) is nourished exclusively by semicircular rami periostales of the a. tibialis anterior, which move around the bone from both sides and join with each other at the facies medialis. It is the only sector, which is supplied by a single main artery. Concerning the periosteal blood supply of the distal 1/5 of the tibia 2 different types are found. In 2/3 of the cases the lateral side is nourished by a great vessel of the a. fibularis, which is supported by branches arising from the a. tibialis anterior. In 1/3 of the cases this vessel of the a. fibularis is absent and rami periostales of the a. tibialis anterior nourish the lateral aspect of the distal tibia alone. The dorsal region is supplied in all cases by rami of the a. fibularis and a. tibialis posterior. On the medial side the periosteal nourishment is ensured only by anastomoses. Both the facies lateralis and the facies posterior are supplied by direct branches, which arise from the main arteries of the lower leg.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Digital muscle reconstructions have gained attraction in recent years, serving as powerful tools in both educational and research contexts. These reconstructions can be derived from various 2D and 3D data sources, enabling detailed anatomical analyses. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of surface scans in accurately reconstructing the volumes of the rotator cuff and teres major muscles across a diverse sample of hominoids.

Single cell studies have transformed our understanding of cellular heterogeneity in disease but the need for fresh starting material can be an obstacle, especially in the context of international multicenter studies and archived tissue. We developed a protocol to obtain high-quality cells and nuclei from dissected human skeletal muscle archived in the preservative Allprotect® Tissue Reagent. After fluorescent imaging microscopy confirmed intact nuclei, we performed four protocol variations that compared sequencing metrics between cells and nuclei enriched by either filtering or flow cytometry sorting.

This study aimed to identify the correlation of serum 25(OH)D level with sarcopenia and its components in Chinese elderly aged 65 years and above from rural areas. A total of 368 Chinese elderly aged 65 years and above in rural areas were enrolled. Indicators of muscle mass and strength, including the appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), skeletal muscle index (SMI) and hand grip strength (HGS) were measured.

Background: Sarcoglycanopathies (SGPs) are limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) that can be classified into four types, LGMDR3, LGMDR4, LGMDR5, and LGMDR6, caused by mutations in the genes, SGCA, SGCB, SGCG, and SGCD, respectively. SGPs are relatively rare in Japan. This study aims to profile the genetic variants that cause SGPs in Japanese patients.

Background: Sarcopenia is an age-related, progressive, and systemic skeletal muscle disorder that can lead to numerous adverse outcomes. Animal studies have shown that sesame can enhance skeletal muscle blood flow and improve physical performance. However, no studies have yet explored the association between sesame consumption and the incidence of sarcopenia in the general population.
