Sentence examples for specimens of nerve from inspiring English sources

Observations on several specimens of nerve cords of Metaperipatus blainvillei and Epiperipatus biolleyi sectioned in sagittal, horizontal, and transverse planes, or examined as whole-mount preparations (E. biolleyi: 3 specimens; M. blainvillei: 22 specimens) failed to reveal distinct segmental thickenings (cf. Figures 5C and 5D; Figure 6; further data not shown).

The presence in most ANCT specimens of nerve-born PRiMA-linked AChE tetramers (Fig.  4), their lack from glottis- and supraglottis cancerous pieces, and the presence in them of PRiMA-linked BChE tetramers agreed with previous histological observations showing tumour-associated remodelling and loss of nerve terminals along head and neck cancer development and motor nerve invasion [ 56].

A couple of methodological issues deserve special discussion: first, the fixation procedure of nerve specimens that plays a critical role in the histological analysis.

The exact determination of myelin sheath-axon ratios is especially essential when interpreting pathological processes in peripheral nerves [ 17], and neuropathies are currently diagnosed on the basis of clinical information integrated with the morphometric analysis of nerve specimens [ 13].

In four nerve specimens of severely affected patients, variable amounts of TTR-amyloid were detectable in the endo- and perineurial compartment (Fig. 5).

Specimens of the crushed sciatic nerve were taken at 5 mm distal to the crush site after 4 weeks (n = 6 in each group).

We next performed a morphometric analysis of NRG1 expression on nerve specimens of merlin-iso1 knockout mice as representative for merlin loss in vivo and corresponding wild-type littermates (Fig. 4A).

This range is based on counts from 4 nerve cords with 20 segments in two specimens of E. biolleyi and 2 nerve cords with 15 segments in a specimen of M. blainvillei, respectively (see also Figures 5C and 5D; Figure 6A, in which the neuron numbers fell into the range given in the Results).

In addition to digital nerves harvested from macrodactylous specimens, peripheral nerve from digits of patients with polydactyly were prepared as controls.

In the histopathological examination, no residual cancer in the resected specimen was detected; the nodule showed wavy proliferation of nerve fibers without atypia nor mitosis, and a hyalinized stroma was seen between nerve bundles (Fig. 4).
