Activation Of Trpv1 Channel Contributes To Serotonin-Induced Constriction Of Mouse Facial ArteryZhou, Bolu 01 January 2017 (has links)
Tight regulation of cephalic blood circulation is critical under normal physiological conditions, and dysregulation of blood flow to the head occurs in pathophysiological situations such as stroke and migraine headache. The facial artery is an extracranial artery which is one of branches from the external carotid artery territory and its extracranial position indicates its importance in regulating head hemodynamics. Transient receptor potential vanniloid type 1 (TRPV1) is a cation channel permeable to Ca2+ and Na+. Intracellular Ca2+ increase causes vasoconstriction. A previous study indicated the presence of TRPV1 in smooth muscle cells in the facial artery. Protein kinase C (PKC) is found to sensitize TRPV1 channels in neurons. Our lab's preliminary data suggested PKC modulates TRPV1 in the middle meningeal artery. Serotonin (5-HT) is an endogenous vasoconstrictor, and the 5-HT2 receptor is a Gq-protein-coupled receptor that activates PKC. In the present study, we found that 5-HT caused facial artery constriction. Thus, we studied whether TRPV1 channel acting as a Ca2+ entry channel is involved in 5-HT induced facial artery constriction. We used a pressurized arteriography technique to examine the artery diameter. The results indicate that 1) TRPV1 antagonist blunted 30 nM 5-HT-induced mouse facial artery constriction. 5-HT constriction on the facial artery from TRPV1 knock out mice was significantly blunted compared to the constriction on the facial artery from wild type mice; 2) PKC, which is a downstream signaling molecule of 5-HT2 receptor, is involved in capsaicin (TRPV1 agonist)-induced facial artery constriction; 3) 5-HT-induced facial artery constriction is mediated mostly by activation of 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors; 4) 5-HT2 but not 5-HT1 receptor is involved in 5-HT-induced facial artery constriction via opening of TRPV1 channels; 5) PKC may be involved in 5-HT-induced facial artery constriction; 6) The L-type-voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel is involved in 5-HT-induced facial artery constriction. We conclude that activation of TRPV1 channel contributes to serotonin-induced 5-HT2 receptor-mediated constriction of the mouse facial artery.

A Rare Case of Facial Artery Branching: A Review of the Literature and a Case Report with Clinical ImplicationsSiwetz, Martin, Turnowsky, Nicol, Hammer, Niels, Pretterklieber, Michael, Wree, Andreas, Antipova, Veronica 22 January 2024 (has links)
Background and Objectives: Vascular variations appear as morphologically distinct patterns of
blood diverging from the most commonly observed vessel patterns. The facial artery is considered to
be the main vessel for supplying blood to the anterior part of the face. An anatomical understanding
of the facial artery, its course, its topography, and its branches is important in medical and dental
practice (especially in neck and face surgery), and is also essential for radiologists to be able to
interpret vascular imaging in the face following angiography of the region. A profound knowledge
of the arteries in the region will aid in minimizing the risks to the patient. Materials and Methods:
In our publication a narrative literature review and a case report are presented. Results: A rare
case of a facial artery pattern has been described anatomically for the first time with respect to its
course and branching. This variation was found on the left side of a 60-year-old male corpse during
anatomical dissection. The anterior branch of the facial artery arched in the direction of the labial
angle, and there divided into the inferior and superior labial arteries. At the same time, the posterior
branch coursed vertically and superficially to the masseter muscle. It here gave off the premasseteric
branch, and continued towards the nose, where it ran below the levator labii superioris and the
levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscles and terminated at the dorsum nasi. Conclusions: Our
review of the literature and the case report add to knowledge on the facial artery with respect to its
topographical anatomy and its branching and termination patterns, as well as the areas of supply.
An exact knowledge of individual facial artery anatomy may play an important role in the planning
of flaps or tumor excisions due to the differing vascularization and can also help to prevent artery
injuries during aesthetic procedures such as filler and botulinum toxin injections.

Facial artery musculomucosal flap for reconstruction of skull base defectsXie, Liyue 08 1900 (has links)
Facial Artery Musculomucosal Flap in Skull Base Reconstruction
Xie L. MD, Lavigne F. MD, Rahal A. MD, Moubayed SP MD, Ayad T. MD
Introduction: Failure in skull base defects reconstruction can have serious consequences such as meningitis and pneumocephalus. The nasoseptal flap is usually the first choice but alternatives are necessary when this flap is not available. The facial artery musculomucosal (FAMM) flap has proven to be successful in head and neck reconstruction but it has never been reported in skull base reconstruction.
Objective: To show that the FAMM flap can reach some key areas of the skull base and be considered as a new alternative in skull base defects reconstruction.
Methods: We conducted a cadaveric study with harvest of modified FAMM flaps, endoscopic skull base dissection and maxillectomies in 13 specimens. Measures were taken for each harvested FAMM flap.
Results: The approximate mean area for reconstruction from the combination of the distal FAMM and the extension flaps is 15.90 cm2. The flaps successfully covered the simulated defects of the frontal sinus, the ethmoid areas, the planum sphenoidale, and the sella turcica.
Conclusion: The FAMM flap can be considered as a new alternative in the reconstruction of skull base defects. Modifications add extra length to the traditional FAMM flap and can contribute to a tighter seal of the defect as opposed to the FAMM flap alone. / Le lambeau musculomuqueux de la joue dans la reconstruction de la base du crâne
Xie L. MD, Lavigne F. MD, Rahal A. MD, Moubayed SP MD, Ayad T. MD
Introduction: Un échec dans la reconstruction de la base du crâne peut avoir des conséquences graves telles que la méningite ou la pneumocéphalie. Le premier choix de la reconstruction est le lambeau nasoseptal. Lorsque ce dernier n’est pas disponible, d’autres alternatives sont nécessaires. Le lambeau musculomuqueux de la joue (FAMM) a une place établie dans la reconstruction des déficits de la tête et du cou, mais il n’a pas jamais été décrit dans la reconstruction de la base du crâne.
Objectif: Démontrer que le lambeau de FAMM peut atteindre des zones clés de la base du crâne et être considéré comme une nouvelle option de reconstruction de cette région.
Méthode: Nous avons entrepris une étude cadavérique avec prélèvement de lambeaux de FAMM modifiés et une dissection endoscopique de la base du crâne sur 13 spécimens. Des mesures ont été prises pour chaque lambeau prélevé.
Résultats: L’aire de reconstruction moyenne du lambeau de FAMM et des extensions est de 15.90 cm2. Les lambeaux couvrent totalement les déficits simulés du sinus frontal, des ethmoïdes, le toit du sphénoïde et la selle turcique.
Conclusion: Le lambeau de FAMM peut être considéré comme une nouvelle alternative dans la reconstruction des déficits de la base du crâne. Les modifications apportent une longueur additionnelle et contribuent à une couverture plus étanche du déficit que le lambeau de FAMM seul.
