目的：探讨微小组织HistoGel预包埋的石蜡切片制作方法和优势。方法：选择拟胚体(embryoid body, EB)为微小组织,将人 类胚胎干细胞(human Embryonic Stem Cell, hESC)切割成小块,用拟胚体培养基在低贴附培养皿中悬浮培养形成拟胚体。收集拟 胚体,4 %的多聚甲醛固定。将HistoGel 加热到60 ℃熔解,离心去除拟胚体中的固定液,把液态的HistoGel 加到拟胚体上,调整拟 胚体的相对位置使其相对集中,待胶冷却凝固,将含有拟胚体的胶块取出,进行常规的石蜡切片操作,包括脱水、透明、浸蜡、包 埋、切片和苏木素- 伊红(hematoxylin-eosin, HE)染色。显微镜下观察拟胚体的形态,并用拟胚体的形态完好度来评判这种方法。结 果：HistoGel 仅在60 ℃便可熔解,室温可以冷却凝固,含有拟胚体的胶块在整个操作过程中很方便。展片过程中,石蜡和HistoGel 能够保持平整。HE 染色的结果可以看出,拟胚体内部结构完好,细胞核和细胞质清晰可辨。结论：HistoGel可以作为一种微量细 胞组织的预包埋胶制作石蜡切片,而且相比琼脂预包埋,HistoGel 因其操作更加方便和特有的物理特性显示出更多的优点。

Suitability of Different Protein A-Gold Markers for Immunogold-Silver Staining in Paraffin Sections

An incubation protocol to immunolabel Lowicryl semithin sections was applied to paraffin probes. To improve the labeling density, colloidal gold complexes of different preparations and sizes were compared. The type of colloidal gold preparation used was found to affect the specificity of the immunostaining. Gold colloid of 5 nm diameter particle size prepared with white phosphorus minimized nonspecific background labeling of β-casein in paraffin embedded sections of the mammary epithelium of pregnant mice. Gold colloids of 5 nm and 9 nm diameter particle size prepared in varying concentrations of tannic acid generated significant nonspecific staining in similar tissue preparations.

Optimization of Single- and Dual-Color Immunofluorescence Protocols for Formalin-Fixed,Paraffin-Embedded Archival Tissues

Performance of immunofluorescence staining on archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human tissues is generally not considered to be feasible, primarily due to problems with tissue quality and autofluorescence. We report the development and application of procedures that allowed for the study of a unique archive of thymus tissues derived from autopsies of individuals exposed to atomic bomb radiation in Hiroshima, Japan in 1945. Multiple independent treatments were used to minimize autofluorescence and maximize fluorescent antibody signals. Treatments with NH₃/EtOH and Sudan Black B were particularly useful in decreasing autofluorescent moieties present in the tissue. Deconvolution microscopy was used to further enhance the signal-to-noise ratios. Together, these techniques provide high-quality single- and dual-color fluorescent images with low background and high contrast from paraffin blocks of thymus tissue that were prepared up to 60 years ago. The resulting high-quality images allow the application of a variety of image analyses to thymus tissues that previously were not accessible. Whereas the procedures presented remain to be tested for other tissue types and archival conditions, the approach described may facilitate greater utilization of older paraffin block archives for modern immunofluorescence studies.     

两栖类皮肤石蜡切片样本量探讨——以峨眉髭蟾毛细血管丰富度为例

石蜡切片是量化两栖动物各种皮肤特征的常用技术,但在两栖动物中缺乏取样标准。血管密度等无法直接度量的特性可能需要较大的样本量,探讨这类特征的取样标准有利于实践工作。本研究对雄性峨眉髭蟾Leptobrachium boringii表皮下毛细血管丰富度进行量化,并通过重抽样分析该特征所需样本量。实验获得2只个体10个部位数据,每个部位模拟29种抽样。结果显示,体型较小个体多数部位需接近20条组织或更高的样本量,体型较大个体多数部位所需样本量接近15条或更高。建议在两栖类皮肤石蜡切片工作中对全部有效切片进行制片,以满足不同特征对样本量的要求。表皮下毛细血管丰富度与所需样本量呈负相关关系,可能缘于高密度部位的血管分布更均匀。如在其他两栖动物类群中亦观察到该相关性,则有助于在量化该特征时合理选取样本量。

Chemical Dehydration of Specimens with 2,2-Dimethoxypropane (DMP) for Paraffin Processing of Animal Tissues: Practical and Economic Advantages over Dehydration in Ethanol

Chemical dehydration can be accomplished using 2,2-dimethoxy-propane (DMP). In the presence of an acid catalyst, this liquid reacts with water generating methanol and acetone as products. Although DMP is more expensive per milliliter than ethanol and other solvents used for dehydration, it is an economical alternative because a much smaller volume is needed. Slow penetration of DMP was previously thought to restrict its use to tiny specimens, but we now show that pieces of tissue as thick as 2 cm are dehydrated by overnight immersion in acidified DMP. We also show that dehydration in acidified DMP does not impair the staining of UNA or other basophilic components of animal tissues. The temperature and concentrations of methanol and H⁺ in the chemical dehydrating agent are too low to produce histochemicaUy detectable methylation or nucleic acid extraction.     

In Vivo Analysis of Heterogeneous Brain Deformation Computations for Model-Updated Image Guidance

Abstract

Neurosurgical image-guidance has historically relied on the registration of the patient and preoperative imaging series with surgical instruments in the operating room (OR) coordinate space. Recent studies measuring intraoperative tissue motion have suggested that deformation-induced misregistration from surgical loading is a serious concern with such systems. In an effort to improve registration fidelity during surgery, we are pursuing an approach which uses a predictive computational model in conjunction with data available in the OR to update the high resolution preoperative image series. In previous work. we have developed an in vivo experimental system in the porcine brain which has been used to investigate a homogeneous finite element rendering of consolidation theory as a tissue deformation model. In this paper, our computational approach has been extended to include heterogeneous tissue property distributions determined from an image-to-grid segmentation scheme. Results produced under two different loading conditions show that heterogeneity in the stiffness properties and interstitial pressure gradients varied over a range of physiologically reasonable values account for 1-3% and 5-8% of the predicted tissue motion, respectively, while homogeneous linear elasticity is responsible for 60-70% of the surgically-induced motion that has been recoverable with our model-based @approach.
