急性胰腺炎患者舌苔微生物研究

目的观察急性胰腺炎（ＡＰ）患者舌苔微生物的变化,总结不同舌象、不同病情的ＡＰ患者舌苔微生物变化规律。方法将纳入的５２例ＡＰ患者按分级标准分为轻症（ＭＡＰ）组（ｎ＝３３）,重症（ＳＡＰ）组（ｎ＝１９）,分别于治疗前、第３天及第９天清晨观察并采集舌苔,作细菌培养、鉴定、定量,测溶菌酶（ＬＺＭ）含量。２５例健康薄白苔作为对照组。结果ＡＰ患者舌苔菌落总数减少。厚苔菌落总数及Ｇ－厌氧杆菌多于薄苔,口腔优势菌在厚苔变化表现为厌氧菌检出率增高而需氧菌下降。ＳＡＰ组肠道杆菌的检出率显著增加;病程早期除口腔链球菌、Ｇ＋厌氧杆菌减少外,ＳＡＰ组Ｇ－厌氧杆菌也减少;病程第９天时,ＭＡＰ组基本恢复正常,而ＳＡＰ组各种异常无改变。ＡＰ患者舌苔ＬＺＭ均显著升高。结论ＡＰ病程中口腔舌面出现微生态失调现象,严重程度与病情及舌苔的变化有关。ＡＰ厚苔菌落总数多于薄苔,主要为Ｇ－厌氧杆菌增加。厚苔厌氧菌增加,而需氧菌减少。

The Novel Mechanical Property of Tongue of a Woodpecker

Biomaterials such as bone,teeth,nacre and silk are known to have superior mechanical properties due to their specificnanocomposite structures.Here we report that the woodpecker’s tongue exhibits a novel strength and flexibility due to its specialcomposite micro/nanostructure.The tongue consists of a flexible cartilage-and-bone skeleton covered with a thin layer tissue ofhigh strength and elasticity.At the interface between the cartilage-and-bone skeleton and the tissue layer,there is a hierarchicalfiber-typed connection.It is this special design of the tongue that makes the woodpeckers efficient in catching the insects insidetrees.The special micro/nanostructures of the woodpecker’s tongue show us a potential method to enhance the interfacialconnection between soft and hard material layers for bio-inspired composite system designs.     

Morphological analyses and 3D modeling of the tongue musculature of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)

Knowledge of the comparative anatomy of tongue musculature is crucial to the discussion of the origin and the evolution of speech because of the indispensable role played by this organ in speech. However, the tongue musculature of primates has rarely been studied. In a previous study, the author analyzed human tongue musculature and developed a 3D model of this organ [Takemoto, Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research 44:95-107, 2001]. In this study, the tongue musculature of chimpanzees was examined using methods similar to those used for humans. Results showed that tongue musculature was topologically the same for both humans and chimpanzees. As in humans, the tongue musculature of chimpanzees consisted of inner and outer regions. The inner musculature was composed of serial "structural units," made up of two types of laminae whose fibers were perpendicular to the tongue surface. The outer musculature was a thin layer of fibers oriented parallel to the surface and superficial to the inner musculature. Although the tongue musculature of humans and chimpanzees is similar, the external shapes differ: the chimpanzee tongue is flat, whereas the human tongue is round. Applying the muscular hydrostat theory to the external shape of the tongue suggests that the primary actions of the chimpanzee tongue are protrusion and retrusion, whereas the human tongue can be deformed in the oral cavity with a high degree of freedom. It is hypothesized that the evolution of the external shape of the tongue is one of the factors that led to the development of human speech. The results of this study suggest that modeling based on muscular hydrostatic theory of the effects of changes in external tongue shape on articulatory movements should be included in discussions on the origin of speech.     

Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy studies on the reduction of the tongue microstructures in the white stork (Ciconia ciconia,Aves)

The structure of the tongue in the white stork (Ciconia ciconia) is observed macroscopically and under light and scanning electron microscopy. Our observations of the tongue reveal a rare terminal reduction of the size of the tongue and microstructures of the lingual mucosa among the investigations of birds published so far. The short, triangular tongue with a pointed tip is approximately 2.5 cm long in the adult and is situated in the caudal part of the oral cavity close to the laryngeal prominence. On the dorsal surface of the tongue, no typical mucosa microstructures like lingual papillae, median groove or lingual prominence are observed. The main structure of the tongue is composed of rostral part of hyoid apparatus, that is, entoglossal cartilage connects with basihyoid. Very thin mucosa is composed of fibrous connective tissue covered with orthokeratinized epithelium. No lingual glands and muscles are observed in the lamina propria of mucosa. Even though the triangular shape of the tongue in the white stork is typical for birds, the inner structure of the reduced organ is composed only of flat cartilagineous entoglossum of hyoid apparatus. During feeding behaviour of the white stork, the food transportation in oral cavity called cranio‐inertial transport is undoubtedly affected by structural reduction of the tongue.

Ionotropic glutamate receptor subunit distribution on hypoglossal motoneuronal pools in the rat

The expression of ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits in the motoneuronal pools of the hypoglossal nucleus was studied using specific antibodies against subunits of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA), kainate and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtypes. The highest numbers of intensely immunolabelled motoneurons were found in the dorsal tier and caudoventromedial part of the hypoglossal nucleus with all antibodies except that against the GluR1 AMPA subunit. Labelling for the GluR1 subunit was weak except for caudally located groups of motoneurons which innervate tongue muscles related to respiratory activity. By contrast, most motoneurons were intensely immunostained with antibodies against GluR2/3 and GluR4 subunits of the AMPA subtype. The low staining observed using an antibody specific for the GluR2 subunit (which prevents Ca²⁺-entry through AMPA channels) strongly suggests that AMPA receptors in hypoglossal motoneurons are Ca²⁺-permeable. Immunolabelling for the GluR5/6/7 kainate receptor subunits was found in many motoneuronal somata as well as in thin axon-like profiles and puncta that resembled synaptic boutons. Most motoneurons were intensely immunostained for the NMDA receptor subunit NR1. These results show that the hypoglossal nucleus contains five heterogeneous pools of motoneurons which innervate functionally defined groups of tongue muscles. The uneven expression of the different receptor subunits analysed here could reflect diverse phenotypic properties of hypoglossal motoneurons which might be expected to generate different patterns of motor responses under different physiological or pathological conditions.
