A new and technically simple Romanowsky-Giemsa (RG) stain is proposed as a standardized technique for use in histology. An RG stock solution (pure azure B 7.5 g/l, eosin Y as eosinic acid 1.2 g/l in dimethylsulfoxide) is diluted to form the working solution with HBPES-buffer, pH 6. Staining time is 30-90 min after formolcalcium solution (or 2-4 hr after formaldehyde-organic acid mixtures). The resulting overstained sections are to be differentiated. A tannic acid-acetic acid combination in an isopropanol-water mixture was found to give optimum results within 100 sec. Subsequent dehydration is in isopropanol only. The staining pattern obtained is polychrome. The distribution of colors in detail is influenced by the modes of pre- and posttreatment. Of practical interest is the development of green and greenish blue colors on collagen fibrils which contrast strongly against the pink of sarcoplasm. For this and other reasons, this RG stain version seems suitable to replace the trichrome Gomori-type trichrome stains under appropriate processing conditions. 相似文献

Retinamides are prominent among synthetic vitamin A derivatives (retinoids) which can prevent or reduce the incidence of certain carcinogen-induced neoplasms in animals. They also possess lower toxicity toward adult and developmental systems than natural retinoids, presumably because of the presence of an amide endgroup which resists ready hydrolysis. In this investigation, we compared the developmental toxicities in mice of N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide(4-HPR), N-ethylretinamide (ER) and two retinoylamino acids, N-(all-trans-retinoyl)glycine (RG) and N-(all-trans-retinoyl)-DL-leucine (RL), which are formed from retinoic acid and the alpha-amino acids; RG and RL were shown in a previous study to differ from each other and from retinoic acid in certain toxicity bioassays. We found that while 4-HPR, ER, and RL were only minimally embryotoxic, RG was uniquely active as a teratogen with potency equivalent to that of retinol, the precursor of retinoic acid. Since binding to cytoplasmic proteins and nuclear receptors is a function of the presence of an acidic endgroup in the retinoid molecule, we investigated if RG given to pregnant mice was converted to retinoic acid (RA) and if teratologically significant amounts were detectable in the embryo. A single 100 mg/kg dose of RG in oil vehicle was given orally to ICR mice on day 11 of gestation (plug day = day 0). Extraction and quantification by HPLC of the retinoids in the maternal plasma and in whole embryos were performed at hourly intervals for the first 10 h after dosing and at 26 h. RG was absorbed rapidly reaching peak levels in the maternal plasma at 1 h after the dose and maintained a level of 15 micrograms/mL for up to 4 h, before starting a decline. RG also transferred to the embryo reaching peak levels greater than 0.75 micrograms/g wet weight between 2 and 4 h after the dose. All-trans RA was detected in the maternal plasma and the embryo at 1 h after the dose, reaching peak levels at 2 h in both compartments (0.43 micrograms/mL or g), before starting a decline. Small quantities of 13-cis RG (a contaminant in the original solution comprising 2-3% by weight) and 13-cis RA were also detected in both compartments, but their amounts in the embryo were considered insufficient to contribute to teratogenicity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Preparation of stained smears of Entamoeba histolytica has several drawbacks. We therefore tried to simplify the staining procedures by modifing Kohn's chlorazol black E staining and Wheatley's trichrome staining techniques. Trophozoites and cysts of axenically cultured E. histolytica and Entamoeba invadens, respectively, and trophozoites and cysts of E. histolytica in stools of patients were used. Karyosomes and peripheral chromatin of nuclei and chromatoid bodies became distinctly visible after amoebae were suspended in the basic solution of Kohn's stain. Amoebae fixed in suspension with either basic solution or Bouin's fixative were clearly stained with Kohn's and trichrome preparations, both as wet mounts directly and as permanent slides after processing for mounting. These procedures were easier when the basic solution was used as a fixative and trichrome stain was employed. Erythrocytes ingested by trophozoites, however, were not stained with either of these preparations after fixation in the basic solution but were clearly stained when Bouin's fixative was used. Cysts of E. histolytica in stools concentrated using basic solution (instead of formalin) and ether were also stained with these stains. Consequently, without employing highly toxic mercuric chloride, wet mounts and permanent smears can be prepared with permanent stains, and preserved cysts can be stained after concentration. 相似文献

A resume of Masson's trichrome staining methods is given, with detailed directions for carrying out all of his procedures. The results obtained thru their use in a routine laboratory are discussed at length, as well as the fact that they also work very well on tissues fixed in ways other than those he prescribes, and stained with chemicals and dyes other than those he uses. The fact is stressed, however, that the closer one adheres to his precepts, the better will be the results.
The stains described include bis hematozylin-phloxine-saffron, his iron-hematozylin-ponceau-anilin-blue, his variants of this stain (of which the light green stain is excellent), his metanil yellow and his modification of the familiar Van Gieson technic. All these stains are based on familiar laboratory methods, improved and rendered trichrome, so that they present no great obstacles in technic.
Of the methods cited, the writer prefers the “light green” procedure. Sections are prestained in Regaud's iron-hematoxylin, followed by a mixture of ponceau de xylidine and acid fuchsin. This is followed by mordanting in phosphomolybdic acid and the sections are finally stained in light green. The results are very precise and pleasing and afford immediate orientation as the connective tissue is green, the nuclei black or dark purple, the cytoplasm of the cells is in varying tones of red. The method may be used after fixation in almost any good medium; altho the results are not as brilliant as those obtained after one of Masson's prescribed fixations, it is believed that they are even then superior to those following the routine hematoxylin-eosin method. 相似文献

A staining procedure is described for use with glycol methacrylate embedded tissue sections which does not stain the plastic embedment or remove the sections from the glass slides. The basic dye is celestine blue B. It is prepared by treating 1 g of the dye with 0.5 ml concentrated sulfuric acid. It is then dissolved with the following solution. Add 14 ml glycerine to 100 ml 2.5 percent ferric ammonium sulfate and warm the solution to 50 C. Finally adjust the pH to 0.8 to 0.9 The acid staining solution consists of 0.075 percent ponceau de xylidine and 0.025 percent acid fuchsin in 10 percent acetic acid. Slides containing the dried plastic sections are immersed in the celestine blue solution for five minutes and in the ponceau-fuchsin solution for ten minutes with an intervening water rinse. After a final wash, the sections are air dried and coverslipped. This staining procedure colors the tissues nearly the same as hematoxylin and eosin procedures. 相似文献

An unstructured model based on logistic and Luedeking-Piret equations was proposed to describe growth, substrate consumption and kojic acid production by Aspergillus flavus Link strain 44-1 in batch fermentation and also in a resuspended cell system. The model showed that kojic acid production was non-growth associated. The maximum kojic acid and cell concentrations obtained in batch fermentations using the fermenter with optimized dissolved oxygen control (32.5 g/l and 11.8 g/l, respectively) and using a shake-flask (36.5 and 12.3 g/l, respectively) were not significantly different. However, the maximum specific growth rate and a non-growth-associated rate constant for kojic acid formation (n) for batch fermentation using the fermenter (0.085/h and 0.0125 g kojic acid/g cell.h, respectively) were approximately three and two times higher than the values obtained for fermentation using a shake-flask, respectively. Efficient conversion of glucose to kojic acid was achieved in a resuspended pellet or mycelial system, in a solution containing only glucose with citrate buffer at pH 3.5 and at a temperature of 30 °C. The resuspended cell material in the glucose solution was still active in synthesizing kojic acid after prolonged incubation (up to about 600 h). The rate constant of kojic acid production (n) in a resuspended cell system using 100 g glucose/l was almost constant at an average value of 0.011 g kojic acid/g cell.h up to a cell concentration of 19.2 g/l, above which it decreased. A drastic reduction of n was observed at a cell concentration of 26.1 g/l. However, the yield based on glucose consumed (0.45 g/g) was similar for all cell concentrations investigated. 相似文献

Monoterpenoid indole alkaloids are a vast and structurally complex group of plant secondary compounds. In contrast to other groups of plant products which produce many glycosides, indole alkaloids rarely occur as glucosides. Plants of Rauvolfia serpentina accumulate ajmaline as a major alkaloid, whereas cell suspension cultures of Rauvolfia mainly accumulate the glucoalkaloid raucaffricine at levels of 1.6 g/l. Cell cultures do contain a specific glucosidase. known as raucaffricine-O-beta-D-glucosidase (RG), which catalyzes the in vitro formation of vomilenine, a direct intermediate in ajmaline biosynthesis. Here, we describe the molecular cloning and functional expression of this enzyme in Escherichia coli. RG shows up to 60% amino acid identity with other glucosidases of plant origin and it shares several sequence motifs with family 1 glucosidases which have been characterized. The best substrate specificity for recombinant RG was raucaffricine (KM 1.3 mM, Vmax 0.5 nkat/microg protein) and only a few closely related structural derivatives were also hydrolyzed. Moreover, an early intermediate of ajmaline biosynthesis, strictosidine, is a substrate for recombinant RG (KM 1.8 mM, Vmax 2.6 pkat/microg protein) which was not observed for the low amounts of enzyme isolated from Rauvolfia cells. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To find a staining method for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue that would distinguish bone from surrounding soft tissues, including muscle, periosteal tissue and bone marrow. STUDY DESIGN: A variety of stains were tested and compared with hematoxylin-eosin. The potential value of any given stain was evaluated based on its ability to stain bone and soft tissues different colors or shades that could be readily identified in photomicrographs. Stains were evaluated using both endochondral (tibia) and intramembranous bone (calvaria) samples. RESULTS: In contrast to standard hematoxylin-eosin stain, which stains both bone and soft tissues pink, the methylene blue/acid fuchsin stain demonstrates remarkable contrast between bone and other tissues. Methylene blue/acid fuchsin stained bone bright pink and the surrounding soft tissues blue-purple. CONCLUSION: In addition to the superior staining properties of methylene blue/acid fuchsin, other benefits of this stain include its stability, ease of use and low cost. This stain has many potential applications in the study of erosive bone disease in humans and also in animal models for research. 相似文献

A study was made of factors affecting the initial staining power and the stability of iron-hematoxylin lake solutions. The findings were applied to the preparation of a superior hematoxylin staining solution. This is made up as follows: in 50 ml. water dissolve, in order, 1.0 g. ferric ammonium sulfate [FeNE4 (SO4)2⋅ 12H2O], 0.8 ml. sulfuric acid, 50 ml. 95% ethyl alcohol, 0.5 g. hematoxylin. Filter the solution to remove the insoluble, white crust of the ferric ammonium sulfate. The solution stains well ten minutes after it has been made. Peak performance is attained within 5 hours, and is maintained for 4 to 8 weeks. Staining time is 3 to 30 minutes. Excess stain can be rinsed off the slide and section by immersion in water, after which destaining, if necessary, can be accomplished with a solution of 50 ml. water, 50 ml. 95% ethyl alcohol, 0.18 ml. sulfuric acid. The slides may or may not be placed next in a neutralizing solution of 50 ml. water, 50 ml. 95% ethyl alcohol, 0.5 g. sodium bicarbonate. They may then be passed through 50 ml. water, 50 ml. 95% ethyl alcohol on the way to alcoholic counterstaining solutions, or through water leading to aqueous counterstains.

Proto-fix (Alpha-Tec Systems, Inc., Vancouver, WA) is a new single vial, environmentally safe, parasitology (pathogenic and nonpathogenic protozoans and helminths) fixative and transport solution. It is used in conjunction with a new concentration/sedimentation reagent, CONSED, (Alpha-Tec Systems, Inc. Vancouver, WA) as a replacement to the formalin-ethyl acetate (FEA) concentration procedure using Lugol's iodine. The newly adopted procedure was tested against the FEA concentration samples using split proficiency testing samples supplied by the American Association of Bioanalysts (AAB). Routinely, patient samples collected, fixed, and transported in Proto-Fix were processed and tested at Diagnostic Labs, Inc. (DLI), Phoenix, AZ. Detected parasites were documented using a video camera-printer system attached to the optical equipment. The quality of the fixative and stain were found to be superior to that of the FEA-Lugol's method and the yield of detected parasites was considerably higher. Eighty-five percent of 39 unknown parasite species tested were correctly detected using the Proto-fix-CONSED system compared to 46% using the FEA-Lugol's method. Of all the other methods and stains used at DLI, the trichrome stain (a popular modification of Gomori's trichrome stain for tissue sections) was found to be least reliable. 相似文献

Many basic fluorescent dyes stain juxtaglomerular granules to produce characteristic colors in ultraviolet light. The stain is applied to paraffin sections of tissues fixed in 2% calcium acetate-10% formalin or in phosphate-buffered 10% formalin. Procedure: Bring section to water, stain 0.5 min in Delafield hematoxylin, wash in tap water, stain 3 min in a 0.1% aqueous solution of basic fluorescent dye (auramine O, acriflavine, acridine orange, coriphosphine O, acridine yellow, phosphine E, thioflavine T, berberine sulfate, atebrine or rivanol) and differentiate 1 min in 0.1% acetate acid (or omit this step). After washing in tap water, air dry with or without subsequent mounting in a resin. Juxtaglomerular granules stain bright fluorescent yellow or orange against a dark background. 相似文献

An easily used trichrome stain consisting of orange G, methyl green, and toluidine blue is proposed as a method of differentiating desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) in cells. Carnoy's acetic-alcohol is the fixative of choice, though cold acetone is also satisfactory. Photomicrographs taken with ultraviolet and visible light show that the structures containing nucleic acid are exactly those which stain with methyl green and toluidine blue. Studies with nucleases and extraction of nucleic acids with cold and hot perchloric acid further indicate a specificityy of the dyes for DNA and RNA. Present experiments are directed toward using the stain for quantitative estimation of the nucleic acids. 相似文献

The cell growth and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) yields of Nannochloropsis sp. were enhanced in the fed-batch cultures. With feeding glucose solution, the biomass reached 1.1 g dry wt l(-1) after 10 days' culture, which was 40% higher than that obtained in the batch culture (0.8 g dry wt l(-1)). With supplement of nitrate solution, the biomass reached 1 g dry wt l(-1), and reached the stationary phase 2 days earlier than the others. The maximum of biomass (1.2 g dry wt l(-1)) was obtained with the supplement of the mixture of glucose and nitrate solution. The EPA yields of Nannochloropsis sp. after 10 days' growth in the fed-batch cultures were 52 mg l(-1), 43 mg l(-1) and 56 mg l(-1) with, respectively, addition of nitrate, glucose and both together. In batch culture only 35 mg EPA l(-1) was obtained. 相似文献

The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique combined with selective genotyping was used to map quantitative
trait loci (QTLs) associated with tolerance for phosphorus (P) deficiency in rice. P deficiency tolerant cultivar IR20 was
crossed to IR55178-3B-9-3 (sensitive to P-deficiency) and 285 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were produced by single-seed
descent. The RILs were phenotyped for the trait by growing them in P-sufficient (10.0 mg/l) and P-deficient (0.5 mg/l) nutrient
solution and determining their relative tillering ability at 28 days after seeding, and relative shoot dry weight and relative
root dry weight at 42 days after seeding. Forty two of each of the extreme RILs (sensitive and tolerant) and the parents were
subjected to AFLP analysis. A map consisting of 217 AFLP markers was constructed. Its length was 1371.8 cM with an average
interval size of 7.62 cM. To assign linkage groups to chromosomes, 30 AFLP and 26 RFLP markers distributed over the 12 chromosomes
were employed as anchor markers. Based on the constructed map, a major QTL for P-deficiency tolerance, designated PHO, was
located on chromosome 12 and confirmed by RFLP markers RG9 and RG241 on the same chromosome. Several minor QTLs were mapped
on chromosomes 1, 6, and 9.

Synopsis For the identification of polysaccharides after periodic acid oxidation or of DNA after acid hydrolysis, a solution of 0.5% w/v Basic Fuchsin in acid alcohol (water-ethanol-concentrated hydrochloric acid 80:20:1 by volume) may be used instead of Schiff's reagent. Sections are stained in the Fuchsin solution for 20 min, after which the unreacted dye is washed off with ethanol. Except for its yellower colour the Fuchsin staining is almost indistinguishable from Schiff's reagent staining.Histochemical blocking studies indicated that the Fuchsin stain, like Schiff's reagent, reacts with aldehyde groups or subsequent oxidation products. The results of studies of model systems (cellulose film oxidized by periodic acid and also of aqueous formaldehyde solution) in which infra-red spectroscopy and, where appropriate, chromatography were used are consistent with the initial coloured products being azomethines which may react further to produce coloured secondary amine derivatives. 相似文献

A phenylalanine (Phe) imprinted polymer was prepared by the wet-phase inversion and sol–gel transition method to endow a copolymer matrix with a large uptake capacity of template molecules and prominent adsorption selectivity at the high concentration of the racemate solution. A copolymer bead prepared by wet-phase inversion was shrunken in a hydrochloric acid solution containing a large amount of template molecules after swelling in a sodium hydroxide solution. Template molecules were effectively implanted in the polymer matrix during shrinking after swelling. The adsorption selectivities of Phe-imprinted copolymer bead were 2.1 and 1.33 at 1 g and 10 g Phe/l racemate solution, respectively, and the Phe uptake capacity reached about 1 g Phe/g dry weight of the copolymer. The adsorption selectivity of the copolymer was retained after five batches of adsorption/desorption in 1 g Phe/l solution composed of 5% D-Phe and 95% L-Phe. 相似文献

Fermentation and succinic acid production by Actinobacillus succinogenes YZ0819 was inhibited by high NaCl. To enhance the resistance of this strain to osmotic stress, an NaCl-tolerant mutant strain
of A. succinogenes (CH050) was screened and selected through a continuous culture using survival in 0.7 M NaCl as the selection criterion. Using
Na2CO3 as the pH regulator and glucose as the carbon source in batch fermentation, the isolated osmo-resistant stain, A. succinogenes CH050, produced up to 66 g/l succinic acid with a yield of 73.37% (w/w). The concentration of succinic acid and mass yield
were increased by 37.5 and 4.37%, respectively, compared to the parent strain. The dry cell weight reached 10.1 g/l, which
is 37% higher than that of the parent strain. The high tolerance of A. succinogenes CH050 to osmotic stress increased improved the succinic acid production from batch fermentation. 相似文献

Standardized specimens with reproducible staining properties were fabricated from extracts of biological objects (bovine liver, nucleoprotamine and defatted muscle). The standard specimens were stained with two formulations of the Romanowsky-Giemsa stain (RG), using the same azure B and eosin Y. One formulation used methanol and Sorensen's buffer and the other DMSO and Hepes buffer as solvents. The standard specimens were stained either in the composite stain or in the individual dyes dissolved in the same solvents and at the same concentration as the composite stain. Solution spectroscopy demonstrated different spectra for the two formulations with some wavelength regions varying by more than an order of magnitude. The RG spectra were also very different from those of the individual dyes dissolved at the RG concentration in the respective solvents. The stained standard specimens were analyzed by microspectrophotometry and were found to have spectra similar to those of cell smears. Furthermore, the standard specimens were shown to be a repeatable substrate for stain uptake. The transmitted light intensity from random fields of the same standardized specimen varied +/- 5%. When specimens were stained at the same time, the specimen-to-specimen variation depended on preparation conditions and the measurement wavelength, but was as good as +/- 5% for some conditions. The quantitative stain performance of both formulations was studied and compared. The standardized specimens provide a tool for the quantitative study of staining processes and specimen preparation procedures and for stain calibration. 相似文献
