果蝇胚胎石蜡切片制作方法的改良

探索一种不用在卵壳上手工打孔、适用于果蝇胚胎石蜡切片制作的方法。实验前期对果蝇胚胎进行渗透化处理,后期用琼脂糖、明胶、石蜡3种包埋辅佐剂对胚胎进行聚集、包埋、切片,最后进行HE及PASM染色。渗透化处理后的胚胎用琼脂糖或石蜡聚集并包埋后所制切片HE染色均显示胚胎形态结构正常,背景干净,而琼脂糖聚集法所制切片PASM染色背景呈灰色,明胶聚集法所制切片HE染色和PASM染色背景均显杂色且胚胎出现形变。3种包埋辅佐剂中,琼脂糖和石蜡均适于果蝇胚胎结构的保存,石蜡聚集法所制切片2种染色背景均无杂色,因此最适合做包埋辅佐剂。渗透化处理和石蜡聚集法结合后的改良方法适合于大样本且高脂含量的果蝇胚胎石蜡切片的制备。

Detection of Experimentally Produced Occult Microfractures at the Bone-Cartilage Interface in Decalcified Sections

We compared three histological preparation methods to detect experimentally produced occult microfractures in decalcified human patellae: a paraffin tape-transfer technique, a paraffin slab-cut method, and a paraffin method with methyl salicylate as the clearing agent. Microfractures were observed at the bone-cartilage interface and were oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the tidemark. Both types of microfractures were documented with each preparation method. The slab-cut method was time-consuming, but the section thickness allowed detailed analysis of the architecture of microcracks as they passed into the depth of the section. The methyl salicylate method was efficient and produced thin, serial sections with good morphological detail and minimal cutting artifact. Reliable histological data were also derived from the tape-transfer technique, but this method was inconsistent. The methods summarized here for processing decalcified human joint tissues provide a basis for future orthopaedic studies investigating occult microfractures at the bone-cartilage interface.

How to obtain good morphology and antigen detection in the same tissue section?

Most human and animal biopsy samples are routinely embedded in paraffin since this enables the pathologist or researcher to obtain excellent morphology and simplifies storage. Nevertheless, in many cases, the antigen of interest cannot be detected in paraffin section. The alternative available for good immunohistochemistry is preparation of cryosections, which usually provide decent antigen preservation and are frequently used for immunofluorescence. However, cryosections often do not provide efficient morphological details of tissues and cells for pathologic evaluation. In order to obtain good antigen preservation and improve tissue and cell morphology after freezing, we tested three different fixations and freezing methodologies and compared them to routine formaldehyde fixation and paraffin embedding. As a model system, we selected the epithelium of the rat urinary bladder and trachea. On all samples, haematoxylin and eosin staining was performed as well as immunofluorescence with antibodies against tight junction protein ZO-1 and against intermediate filament cytokeratin 7. The best compromise between morphology and immunofluorescence was obtained with “sucrose impregnation prior to freezing” method. Moreover, this procedure is also quicker in comparison to standard paraffin section preparation. To check the clinical relevance of our study, this method was used for human biopsy samples of neoplastic urothelial and bronchial mucosa lesions. Besides good immunofluorescence results, the morphology of these samples was well preserved. We therefore propose that cryosection preparation with sucrose impregnation prior to freezing should be further exploited in other clinical and veterinary applications, since it enables good morphology and antigen preservation.     

A technique for section thickness evaluation for microphotometry and image analysis of sectioned nuclei.

The exact knowledge of the section thickness is a requisite for making the necessary corrections on DNA measurements in tissue sections. Several methods have been proposed to evaluate section thickness, each of them with advantages and disadvantages depending on the type of specimen and equipment available. We herein report another method based on preparation of standard material whose optical density varies as a function of its thickness and is sectioned and measured alongside the tissue specimen. The standards consist of celloidin cylinders stained with the PAS reaction and embedded in paraffin. For prior characterization of the cylinders, sections of different thickness were obtained and mounted. The optical density of each section was measured by direct microphotometry or image analysis. The actual thickness of each section was evaluated following re-embedding of piled groups of sections in a paraffin block and transversal sectioning. The thickness was then measured with a micrometric eye-piece. Optical density and actual thickness of each section were plotted on a normogram curve. Once a given tissue is sectioned alongside with the reference cylinder, the actual thickness is determined by its optical density on the normogram curve.

Comparison of two histological techniques for age determination in small cetaceans

Age estimation in odontocetes is based on counts of growth layer groups (GLGs) deposited in recording structures such as teeth. Generally, tooth sections are obtained using a cryostat microtome. However, some researchers prefer obtaining thin sections using a traditional paraffin microtome. Little information is available on the application of this technique to dolphin teeth. Our main aim was to investigate if the paraffin technique can be a viable alternative. We considered whether estimated age would be affected by preparation technique, staining method, and section thickness, while controlling for effects of species, body length, and sex. We also analyzed whether the staining method would affect readability of GLGs and age reading variability. Teeth from 86 individuals (representing seven species) were used, but not all were prepared using both techniques because sufficient teeth were not available in all cases. Although the staining method had significant effects on the estimated age using both techniques, the variability of GLG counts was small and appeared to be similar for both techniques. Using Mayer's hematoxylin stained sections of 8 μm thickness, good agreement of ages was obtained from both techniques, with more preparations classified as "good quality" for the paraffin technique. Mayer's hematoxylin provided the best contrast of the GLGs when using the paraffin technique. We conclude that the paraffin technique is viable and represents a cost-effective alternative to a cryostat microtome when preparing cetacean teeth for age determination.     

Role of exfoliative cytology in diagnosis of laryngeal tumors

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of cytologic examination in the diagnosis of laryngeal tumors. STUDY DESIGN: A series of 100 patients with suspected tumorous lesions of the larynx were included in the study. The material for cytologic analysis was obtained by use of a modified instrument, that is, a slightly concave discoid knife, during direct microlaryngoscopy, followed by biopsy for paraffin and frozen section histopathology. The findings obtained by cytology and frozen section histopathology were compared with the findings of paraffin section histopathology. RESULTS: Cytology showed an 83.9% sensitivity, 100% specificity and 90% accuracy compared with histopathologic findings (p < 0.05; chi2 = 7.7). Frozen section pathohistology vs. paraffin section histopathology showed an 80.6% sensitivity, 97.4% specificity and 87% accuracy (p < 0.05; chi2 = 8.1). CONCLUSION: Cytologic examination showed higher accuracy compared to frozen section histopathology, also giving an insight into the type of laryngeal pathology in the case of precancerous lesions. The use of cytology and frozen section histopathology during direct microlaryngoscopy improves clinical diagnostic accuracy.
