What is the dorsal median sulcus of the spinal cord? Interest for surgical approach of intramedullary tumors.

Jacquesson T1, Streichenberger N, Sindou M, Mertens P, Simon E.Author information 1Department of Neurosurgery, Hôpital Neurologique Pierre Wertheimer, 59 Bd Pinel, 69677, Bron, Cedex, France, timothee.jacquesson@neurochirurgie.fr.AbstractPURPOSE: For intramedullary tumor (IMT) surgery, a balance has to be found between aggressively resecting the tumor and respecting all the sensory and motor pathways. The most common surgical approach is through the dorsal median sulcus (DMS) of the spinal cord. However, the precise organization of the meningeal sheats in the DMS remains obscure in the otherwise well-described anatomy of the spinal cord. A better understanding of this architecture may be of benefit to IMT surgeon to spare the spinal cord.

Discovery of a novel fibrous tissue in the spinal pia mater by polarized light microscopy.

Nam MH1, Baek M, Lim J, Lee S, Yoon J, Kim J, Lee MS, Soh KS.Author information 1Nano Primo Research Center, Advanced Institute of Convergence Technology, Seoul National University , Suwon , Korea .AbstractAbstract It is very well known that spinal meninges are composed of three layers, dura, arachnoid and pia mater, and that the main components of pia mater are collagen and reticular fibers. However, the distribution of those fibers has not been extensively investigated but just described as a mesh of fibers. In this study, we detected novel structures, which are composed of unidirectionally arranged fibers, in a rat spinal pia mater by using a polarized light microscope. They were seen as three parallel lines, one of which ran along a posterior spinal vein and the rest two of which ran along a pair of posterior spinal arteries. Histological analysis including Masson's trichrome, picrosirius-red staining, Gordon & Sweet's staining and immunohistochemistry with anti-collagen type 1 and 3 antibodies uncovered that they are mainly composed of collagen fibers and some reticular fibers. In addition, a putative primo vessel was detected in the novel fibrous tissue, which was proven out to be different from a blood vessel. In conclusion, we report a newly detected fibrous structure in the spinal pia mater, which may contribute to provide tensile force to the spinal meninges and to harbor the primo vascular system inside.

Distribution of podoplanin-expressing cells in the mouse nervous systems.

Tomooka M1, Kaji C1, Kojima H1, Sawa Y2.Author information 1Department of Oral Growth & Development, Fukuoka Dental College.2Department of Morphological Biology, Fukuoka Dental College.AbstractPodoplanin is a mucin-type glycoprotein which was first identified in podocytes. Recently, podoplanin has been successively reported as a marker for brain and peripheral nerve tumors, however, the distribution of podoplanin-expressing cells in normal nerves has not been fully investigated. This study aims to examine the podoplanin-expressing cell distribution in the mouse head and nervous systems. An immunohistochemical study showed that the podoplanin-positive areas in the mouse peripheral nerve and spinal cord are perineurial fibroblasts, satellite cells in the dorsal root ganglion, glia cells in the ventral and dorsal horns, and schwann cells in the ventral and dorsal roots; in the cranial meninges the dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater; in the eye the optic nerve, retinal pigment epithelium, chorioidea, sclera, iris, lens epithelium, corneal epithelium, and conjunctival epithelium. In the mouse brain choroid plexus and ependyma were podoplanin-positive, and there were podoplanin-expressing brain parenchymal cells in the nuclei and cortex. The podoplanin-expressing cells were astrocyte marker GFAP-positive and there were no differences in the double positive cell distribution of several portions in the brain parenchyma except for the fornix. The results suggest that podoplanin may play a common role in nervous system support cells and eye constituents.
