不同脱钙条件下三种脱钙液脱钙效果的比较

目的探讨在常温和加温脱钙条件下,甲酸混合液、Alexander硝酸甲醛液及Jenking脱钙液的脱钙效果和染色结果。方法取小鼠膝关节骨组织分为6份,根据脱钙条件和脱钙液的不同,分为常温脱钙组合加温脱钙组两组。常温脱钙组:三种脱钙液常温(25℃)脱钙48h并石蜡切片HE染色;加温脱钙组:三种脱钙液70℃温箱脱钙6h并石蜡切片HE染色,并分别观察骨组织在不同脱钙液及脱钙条件下的脱钙效果及染色结果。结果常温(25℃)脱钙组标本中,经甲酸混合液脱钙的骨组织较难切片,染色较差;经Alexander硝酸甲醛液脱钙的骨组织较易切片,染色较差;经Jenking脱钙液脱钙的骨组织较易切片,染色较好。加温脱钙组标本中,经甲酸混合液脱钙的骨组织较易切片,染色较好;经Alexander硝酸甲醛液脱钙的骨组织较易切片,染色一般;经Jenking脱钙液脱钙的骨组织较易切片,染色较好。结论不同的脱钙液种类及脱钙条件对脱钙及染色结果有较大的影响,标本经三种脱钙液加温脱钙后,使脱钙时间大大缩短,减少了酸对组织的破坏,在脱钙效果及染色结果方面,均要优于常温脱钙,而Jenking脱钙液无论在常温和加温条件下的脱钙和染色效果均要优于其它两种脱钙液,有一定的应用价值。     

用石蜡包埋制作全眼球切片的改进

制作全眼球切片标本的传统方法是用火棉胶包埋,虽能使眼球切片保持完整,而不易制作较薄的切片,整个制作过程需要的时间也比较长。用石蜡包埋制作全眼球切片的方法已有过报道。由于眼球的结构与致密度差异大,各部位软硬悬殊,要做出比较完美的切片标本是不大容易。为了进一步缩短制片时间,减少脱水程序,防止切片易碎,制作出好切易展的切片,对石蜡包埋制作全眼球切片作了一些改进,方法如下:     

用石蜡切片法制作内耳切片

用含盐酸的Ｂｏｕｉｎ氏液固定、脱钙软化，延长高浓度酒精的脱水时间，恰当掌握透明时间，注意耳蜗及半规管的包埋方向等方法制作内耳石蜡切片，获得了该器官主要组织结构较理想的切片。     

脱钙方法与脱钙液的选择及应用

骨 ,含有骨质的肿瘤及钙化组织和骨髓穿刺组织 ,均需经脱钙处理 ,钙盐被溶解 ,组织变软后才能制作切片。脱钙方法和脱钙液的选择与骨组织切片的制作质量有着密切的联系。1 骨的成分与结构骨是由粘多糖和一些蛋白纤维构成骨样组织及沉积于其中的无机盐所组成 ,无机盐以羟基磷灰石结晶的形式存在 ,其中绝大部分是磷酸钙和碳酸钙。2 脱钙机理脱钙是应用化学或物理化学的方法将骨组织成分中的钙盐与胶原纤维分离 ,弃去钙盐 ,保留完整的胶原纤维成分。无论使用何种方法和脱钙液都是为了清除骨组织中的钙盐。脱钙时间若太短 ,有钙盐沉着 ,组织切…     

脂肪组织石蜡切片制作方法探讨

目的探讨脂肪组织石蜡切片制作方法,改善和提高其切片质量。方法将送检的脂肪组织切开固定于中性甲醛液中;取材后将标本放入脱水机中,调整脱水机设置程序,在常规方法的基础上适当增加组织再固定及脱水、透明时间;包埋时采取挤压组织等改进方法。结果通过改进和调整后制作的脂肪组织蜡块平整无塌陷,石蜡切片优良,厚薄均匀,完整,无空洞、无挤压、镜下组织结构完整清晰,细胞无挤压、重叠等现象。细胞形态清晰,着色均匀艳丽。结论通过上述方法的改进,能尽可能多地减少脂肪组织的脂滴,增加脂肪组织的硬度,使组织和石蜡能很好的融合在一起,有利于切出完整的厚薄均匀的石蜡切片,提高制片质量。     

两种切片方法检测肝糖原染色效果的比较

目的比较石蜡和冰冻两种不同切片用于检测牛蛙肝糖原的效果。方法采用石蜡和冰冻两种切片方法制作牛蛙肝脏切片,高碘酸希夫氏（periodicacid-Schiff＇s,PAS）染色法对肝糖原进行组织化学染色,光密度分析糖原含量。结果PAS染色显示肝糖原为紫红色或红色颗粒,冰冻切片中糖原颗粒明显大于石蜡切片,光密度分析显示,石蜡切片中糖原流失明显,与冰冻切片相比,糖原流失了约28％。结论两种切片均可用于糖原检测,冰冻切片制作环节较少、耗时短且染色过程中糖原不易流失。     

激光显微切割技术用于子宫内膜异位组织DNA的提取及其完整性分析

目的：探索一套激光显微切割（LCM）分离子宫内膜异位症腺体细胞后提取微量DNA并进行完整性分析的操作流程。方法：分别对20例石蜡标本及20例冰冻标本进行LCM,收集切割后的腺体细胞;2组标本各取10例提取微量DNA,检测DNA浓度并通过PCR扩增进行验证;余20例标本分别进行全基因组扩增,检测产物浓度并利用8种常见管家基因作为引物通过PCR扩增进行验证,对比分析其结果。结果：石蜡标本与冰冻标本在LCM获取腺体细胞及提取微量DNA两个环节中均可获得满意效果;但经全基因组扩增后,石蜡标本无法保留完整DNA信息。结论：LCM获取子宫内膜异位症腺体细胞提取微量DNA是一种操作简单、结果稳定的方法,可作为日后子宫内膜异位症基因组研究的常规方法;冰冻切片相对石蜡切片,更能保留完整的DNA信息。     

盐生肉质草本植物海马齿叶片石蜡切片简易方法

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid in Ammonium Hydroxide for Reducing Decalcification Time

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution is used to decalcify bone specimens for histological examination. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) has been used to dissolve EDTA and to bring EDTA solutions to neutral pH. This solution, however, requires several weeks to decalcify bone specimens. We investigated a new de-calcification fluid using concentrated ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) to dissolve EDTA and to adjust the pH to neutral. Decalcification was performed using a magnetic stirrer with and without vacuum, or with a sonic cleaner. Decalcification end point was confirmed using both the weight loss and X-ray methods. After decalcification, specimens were processed through paraffin and sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Decalcification employing NH₄OH required an average of six days. Light microscopy indicated good retention of cellular detail.

Effects of tissue processing techniques in acoustical (1.2 GHz) and light microscopy.

In this study the influence of various tissue processing and staining techniques on the acoustical properties of liver tissue was investigated. A qualitative study was performed using ultrasound attenuation as the imaged parameter of a combined optical/acoustical microscope with a 1.2 GHz transducer. Images were made of three sets of adjacent liver sections (6 microns in thickness) which were prepared in ten different ways: fixed by alcohol or formalin; stained by hematoxylin-eosin (HE), toluidine blue (TB) or non-stained; sectioned by a cryostat or by a paraffin microtome. It was concluded that the images obtained from cryostat sections were of much higher quality than those from paraffin sections. Images obtained from sections that were sectioned while embedded in paraffin displayed no detail at all. No consistent effect was noticed with respect to staining by HE or TB. Alcohol fixed sections gave more detailed images than formalin fixed sections. Formalin fixation in combination with cryostat sectioning yielded many cytoplasmic vacuoles.     

Retinoblastoma cell cycling

Techniques for the measurement of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) positive cells generally include either microscopic evaluation of paraffin embedded sections or measurements on cell suspensions using a fluorescent activated cell sorter. The accuracy of these measurements and their correlations can be affected by a number of technical and intrinsic tumor factors. Extrinsic parameters including degree of necrosis and tumor growth fraction are less easily analyzed in BrdUrd stained material. Retinoblastoma tumor cell cycling was prospectively studied in 11 children using in vivo and one child using in vitro BrdUrd. BrdUrd measurements were made by staining cell suspensions or sections of paraffin embedded tumor and analyzing by microscopy. Approximately 14% of viable cells were in the synthesis-phase of the cell cycle. The correlation between BrdUrd in cell suspensions and BrdUrd in paraffin embedded sections did not reach significance (r = 0.48). DNA analysis of these tumors was also performed using flow cytometry. Nine tumors were found to have a normal diploid DNA content, one had a G1 peak below the diploid control, two had a G1 peak above the diploid control, and one had two G1 peaks (a diploid and a hyperdiploid peak). There was no correlation between abnormal DNA content and the percent of cells in synthesis.     

冰冻切片与石蜡切片对乳腺肿瘤的诊断价值研究

目的:分析和比较冰冻切片与石蜡切片对乳腺肿瘤的诊断价值。方法:选取480例新鲜乳腺标本,将其制成冰冻切片以及石蜡切片,根据诊断结果进行对比分析,评价乳腺肿瘤的冰冻切片与石蜡切片的对乳腺肿瘤的诊断价值。结果:经石蜡切片诊断乳腺良性肿瘤277例,占57.71%,良性肿瘤中以乳腺纤维瘤诊断居多;经石蜡切片诊断乳腺恶性肿瘤203例,占42.29%,以乳腺浸润性导管癌居多。冰冻切片诊断乳腺良性肿瘤279例,占58.13%;恶性肿瘤195例,占40.62%;延迟诊断6例,占1.25%。以石蜡切片诊断结果为金标准,冰冻切片诊断乳腺良性肿瘤的准确率为98.56%(273/277),诊断恶性肿瘤的准确率为95.07%(193/203),假阳性率为0.72%(2/277),假阴性率为2.96%(6/203),冰冻切片与石蜡切片诊断乳腺肿瘤的结果具有显著一致性,K值为0.965(P0.05)。结论:冰冻切片与石蜡切片诊断乳腺肿瘤的符合率较高,可作为术中快速病理检测的手段,但该种切片方式存在少量延迟诊断,多与术者操作经验有关,故术中应注重制片过程,提高冰冻切片质量。     

Comparison of fine needle aspiration biopsy and paraffin embedded tissue sections for measuring AgNOR proteins

Abstract

Paraffin embedded tissue sections and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) are important methods for diagnosis. We compared thyroid tissue obtained by FNAB to paraffin embedded sections to determine whether there were differences in detection of the amounts of argyrophilic nucleolar organizing region (AgNOR) proteins. Twenty-two patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma were included in the study. Slides were prepared with both FNAB tissue and 3 μm sections of paraffin embedded tissue, and stained for AgNOR. One hundred nuclei per individual were evaluated; total AgNOR number/nucleus (TAn/TNn) and total AgNOR area/nuclear area (TAa/TNa) of individual cells were determined. Mean TAn/TNn and TAa/TNa values were 4.800 ± 1.118 and 13.382 ± 2.612, respectively, for FNAB samples; corresponding values were 2.406 ± 0.649 and 8.49 ± 0.893, respectively, for paraffin embedded sections. The differences between FNAB materials and paraffin embedded tissue sections were significant for the mean TAn/TNn and TAa/TNa values. Significant differences in the amounts of AgNOR protein detected were found between FNAB and paraffin embedded tissue sections.     

The use of a fabric softener in the reconstitution of mummified tissue prior to paraffin wax sectioning for light microscopical examination

A method of reconstituting mummified tissues using the fabric softener "Comfort" is described. Routine histological paraffin wax sections were prepared following overnight treatment at room temperature with a 0.2% solution of this substance in isotonic saline. A comparison of results obtained by this method is made with those obtained using Ruffer's and Sandison's solutions. Nuclear stains gave poor results whereas connective tissue stains demonstrated their respective fibers by all rehydration methods.
