Disease relevance of Sacrococcygeal Region

 

High impact information on Sacrococcygeal Region

  • Decreased PKA activity causes dorsal expansion of Sonic hedgehog signal response in the thoracic to sacral regions correlating with the regions of morphological abnormalities [6].
  • In non-syndromic HD patients who do not have the SOX10 mutation, the SOX10 gene expressed in the sacral region may be involved in the pathogenesis of the abnormal nerve trunks through interaction with other factors [7].
  • Delay of retinol supplementation to E9.5 or later resulted in a marked increase in both occurrence and severity of skeletal malformations, extending from the craniocervical to sacral regions [8].
  • In the brachial and sacral regions, the majority of motoneurons express Gfra1 but only a minority express Gfra2 [9].
  • In all cases the autoradiograms demonstrated that neurotensin receptors were distributed in a similar fashion in the gray matter of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal regions of the human spinal cord [10].
 

Anatomical context of Sacrococcygeal Region

 

Associations of Sacrococcygeal Region with chemical compounds

  • Ketamine depressed the motor responses of the anococcygeus to stimulation of the pre-ganglionic lumbar sympathetic outflow or to stimulation of post-ganglionic fibres in the sacral region in a dose-dependent manner, the response to preganglionic stimulation being relatively more sensitive to such depression [14].
  • Binding of 125I-[Sar1.Ile8] Ang II is most prominent in the lateral horns of the thoracolumbar and sacral regions containing the sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic neurons respectively [15].
  • When injected with indigo carmine, the vessels localized by the hydrogen-induced current impulses filled the entire anterior spinal artery from the low thoracic to the sacral region, whereas injection of the other vessels did not show filling [16].
  • The sacral region was visualized in a coronal plane, when the fetus was in anterodorsal position [17].
  • X-ray showed a bony deformity of the sacrococcygeal region in the shape of a scimitar [18].
 

Gene context of Sacrococcygeal Region

  • Three cases of "dedifferentiated" chordoma arising in the sacrococcygeal region are presented [19].
  • Thoracic cord transection, however, resulted in significant increases of 7B2-IR in lumbar and especially sacral regions, providing evidence of a 7B2-containing ascending pathway originating in the lumbosacral spinal cord [20].
