    Distribution and microstructure of intrarenal arteries in Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus)

    Studies and reports focusing on the Bactrian camels’ kidney structure from an anatomical perspective are scanty, therefore, this work aims to systemically investigate the anatomical structure of the kidney and examine the distribution and microstructure of intrarenal arteries. Ten pairs of healthy adult kidneys from male and female Bactrian camels were used in the study. The kidney of Bactrian camel appeared like a broad bean with a smooth surface. Using artery casting, we observed that the renal artery divided into dorsal and ventral branches; the dorsal branch continuously divided into a shorter anterior branch and a longer posterior branch, while the ventral branch directly divided into interlobar arteries. The number of interlobar arteries in the left and right kidneys were slightly different, 14 to 16 in left while 16 in the right kidney. No anastomosis was found between the dorsal and ventral branches or their sub- branches. To further study the microscopic structure, microanatomy and scanning microscope were used. Surprisingly, we observed two other ways afferent arteriole arose apart from the interlobular artery. They were the arcuate artery and conjoint afferent arteriole. Two afferent arterioles supplied one glomerulus and occasionally the absence of glomerulus was also observed, where the arteriole kept extending, and no typical glomerulus formed. Since branching of arteries and urologic function of kidneys are physiologically integrated, these features of Bactrian camel may help to further investigate their adaptations to desert climate.

    Histopathological characteristics of adenomyosis: structure and microstructure
    (Universidad de Murcia. Departamento de Biología Celular e Histología, 2023) Liu, Ziyu; Guo, Yanxian; Pan, Xinyi; Yang, Xing
    Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disease that pathologically shows endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium. There are multiple lines of evidence that adenomyosis is associated with abnormal bleeding, painful menstruation, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and spontaneous pregnancy loss. Pathologists have researched adenomyosis by studying tissue specimens from its first report more than 150 years ago, and differing viewpoints on its pathological alterations have been advanced. However, the gold standard histopathological definition of adenomyosis remains controversial to date. The diagnostic accuracy of adenomyosis has steadily increased due to the continual identification of unique molecular markers. This article provides a brief description of the pathological aspects of adenomyosis and discusses adenomyosis categorization based on histology. The clinical findings of uncommon adenomyosis are also presented to offer a thorough and detailed pathological profile. Furthermore, we describe the histolog

    Los peritextos narrativos del videojuego Cyberpunk: diversidad tipológica textual a partir de un análisis microestructural del caso "Deus ex: Human Revolution"
    (Murcia: Universidad de Murcia, Editum, 2017) Rodríguez Tapia, Sergio
    Los videojuegos son productos multimedia que incluyen multitud de tipos de texto y son clasificables en diversos géneros temáticos. En concreto, el cyberpunk es un subgénero de la ciencia ficción donde la diversidad textual está aparejada a la propia ambientación de la historia. En este trabajo analizamos un corpus que incluye los textos narrativos del menú del videojuego cyberpunk Deus Ex: Human Revolution TM . Partimos de la hipótesis de que el objetivo de los peritextos que analizamos es simular las situaciones que viven los usuarios en la comunicación real con el objetivo de que el videojuego cumpla con las expectativas de interactividad. Asimismo, también creemos que los textos del corpus estudiado pueden ser clasificados atendiendo a diferentes perspectivas, lo que permite contar con elementos que hagan posible predecir problemas de traducción de dichos textos. Para ello, adoptamos cuatro criterios de clasificación (función lingüística, grado de especialidad, registro y temática) que, sobre la base del análisis de la microestructura textual (y en el marco de una perspectiva eminentemente funcional del texto) permiten defender la hipótesis de diversidad tipológica textual. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados más relevantes del estudio de todo el corpus.
