The current study reports the presence of accessory fissure and anomalies in the major fissure and lobation in both the right and left lungs. The results indicated that out 102 lung specimens observed in the dissection room 37.26% appeared to have fissural or lobation anomalies and 63% of the anomalies were described in the right lung. Fissural anomalies accounted for 28.44% while the lobation anomalies were observed in 8.82% of the specimens. The abnormal fissure that were observed included the left minor fissure 10.78%, incomplete horizontal fissure 7.84%, diaphragmatic fissure 7.84%, right minor fissure 0.98% and azygos fissure 0.98%. Further observation revealed that 5.88% of the right lungs appeared to have two lobes and 2.94% of the left lungs had three lobes. The current study indicates that the right lung is commonly affected with fissural and lobation anomalies and that the left minor fissure is the commonly occurring fissural anomaly. Documentation and familiarization of these anomalies remain to be important for making correct radiological diagnosis and also for proper surgical management of lung pathology.

A Cadaveric Study of Splenic Fissures and Bilobed Spleen.

Objectives: Anatomical knowledge regarding the external morphology of the spleen is essential for surgical intervention and radiological diagnosis. A characteristic feature of the spleen is the presence of splenic notches at the superior border; however, such notches rarely extend deep enough to be considered fissures or to separate the spleen into multiple lobes. To date, there are very few cadaveric reports of splenic fissures.

Dysplasia of Granulocytes in a Patient with HPV Disease, Recurrent Infections, and B Lymphopenia: A Novel Variant of WHIM Syndrome?

WHIM syndrome is a condition in which affected persons have chronic peripheral neutropenia, lymphopenia, abnormal susceptibility to human papilloma virus infection, and myelokathexis. Myelokathexis refers to the retention of mature neutrophils in the bone marrow (BM), which accounts for degenerative changes and hypersegmentation. Most patients present heterozygous autosomal dominant mutations of the gene encoding CXCR4.

A 52-year-old woman presented with relapsing acute pancreatitis. A contrast CT scan revealed polysplenia, agenesis of the dorsal pancreas, preduodenal portal vein, inferior vena cava with persistent continuity of the azygos vein, abnormal lung lobation with bilateral left bronchial morphology, and intestinal malrotation (non-rotation type). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in which successful pancreatic duct stent placement for the treatment of recurrent pancreatitis was performed in a polysplenia patient with agenesis of the dorsal pancreas, separate bile and pancreatic ducts and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

The effects of thalidomide on the embryo-fetal development (EFD) of rabbit fetuses and the sensitive periods (SP) for the various malformations were compared between Kbl:JW and Kbl:NZW rabbits to investigate possible strain differences. The post-implantation loss rate and number of placental remnants were increased and the number of live fetuses was decreased in both of the strains in the EFD study and in Kbl:NZW at 300 mg/kg dosed on GD 7-8 in the SP study. In the external and skeletal examinations, head, limb and tail malformations were observed in both the strains in the EFD and SP studies at the same dose levels in the same dosing period.
