  • JB-4 Kit AGR1130
    Unit 7, M11 Business Link Parsonage Lane, Stansted Essex, UK CM24 8GF t: +44 (0)1279 813519 f: +44 (0)1279 815106 e: [email protected] w: www.agarscientific.com JB-4 Kit AGR1130 Introduction: JB-4 Embedding Kit is a unique polymer embedding material that gives a higher level of morphological detail than paraffin processed tissues. A water-soluble media, JB-4 does not require dehydration to absolute alcohol except for dense, bloody, or fatty tissue specimens. JB-4 is excellent for non-decalcified bone specimens, routine stains, special stains, and histochemical staining. Clearing agents such as xylene and chloroform are not required. The polymerization of JB-4 is exothermic, which is easily controlled by polymerizing on ice or by using refrigeration at 4°C. JB-4 Embedding Kits must be used under a chemical fume hood. Sections of JB-4 embedded material can be cut at 0.5 to 3.0 microns or thicker. Microtomes designed for plastic sectioning are required as are glass, Ralph, or tungsten carbide knives. Polysciences, Inc. has tungsten carbide knives available for most sectioning requirements. Sections can be stained for routine histological or histochemical procedures. Immunohistochemical procedures are not recommended for JB-4 as the glycol methacrylate cannot be removed from the section and may block antigen sites for most antibody reactions. As an alternative we recommend the Polysciences, Inc. Osteo-Bed Bone Embedding Kit. The Osteo-Bed formulation is a methyl methacrylate that is well suited for bone or for immunohistochemistry on routine histological specimens. NOTE: It is recommended that the Embedding Kit be used under a fume hood with appropriate gloves.

  • I. the Preparation and Morphology of a Quantified Urine Sediment
    Upsala J Med Sci 84: 67-74, 1979 The Effect of Short-term High-dose Treatment with Methenamine Hippurate of Urinary Infection in Geriatric Patients with Indwelling Catheters I. The preparation and morphology of a quantified urine sediment Bo Norberg, Astrid Norberg, Ulf Parkhede, Hans Gippert and MBns Akerman Departments of Internal Medicine, Pathology and Education, Univer.tity of Lund and the School of Nursing, Lund, Sweden. 3 A4 Riker Laboratories, Skurholmen, Swyden ABSTRACT A quantified sediment of the urine from patients with indwelling catheters was prepared by fixation of 0.1 ml urine in 0.9 ml 2% glutaraldehyde immediately after sampling. Slide preparations were then made from 0.2 ml of the glutaral- dehyde suspension by means of a cytocentrifuge. Bacteria and epithelial cells were properly contrasted by the May-Grunwald-Giemsa stain but haematoxylin- eosin and the Papanicolaou stain were superior as regards leukocyte morphology. It is suggested that glutaraldehyde-cytocentrifuge preparations of the urine cytology may be useful in the evaluation of urinary infection and in the evaluation of the therapy of urinary infection. INTRODUCTION The microscopic examination of urine sediments is a rapid and simple proce- dure which provides essential information in many cases of kidney disease or infections in the urinary tract. The conventional urinary sediment has, how- ever, serious pitfalls, e.g. low reproducibility, low precision and high vul- nerability to delay in transport and preparation (1-10). It nevertheless seemed desirable to make a quantified urine sediment from patients with indwelling catheters in order to evaluate urinary infection and the effects of therapy.

  • Mucin Histochemistry in Tumours of Colon, Ovaries and Lung
    ytology & f C H i o s l t a o n l o r g u y o Ali et al., J Cytol Histol 2012, 3:7 J Journal of Cytology & Histology DOI: 10.4172/2157-7099.1000163 ISSN: 2157-7099 ReviewResearch Article Article OpenOpen Access Access Mucin Histochemistry in Tumours of Colon, Ovaries and Lung Usman Ali*, Nagi AH, Nadia Naseem and Ehsan Ullah Department of Morbid Anatomy and Histopathology, University of Health Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract Introduction: Mucins implicated in cancers of various organs. The apical epithelial surfaces of mammalian respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive tracts are coated by mucus, a mixture of water, ions, glycoproteins, proteins, and lipids. The purpose of this study was to confirm the presence of mucin production using Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stain as the gold standard and to describe the types of mucins produced in tumors of lung, colon and ovaries using various types of histochemical techniques. Methods: The resection specimens and biopsies from tumours of colon (n=16), ovaries (n=13) and lung (n=5) were included and stained with H&E to determin the histological diagnosis for selecting tissues with mucin production. Slides were stained with PAS, Alcian blue, High iron diamine-Alcian blue, Meyer’s mucicarmine and Alcian blue-PAS to demonstrate the mucin production and to identify types of mucins. Results: In the present study we observed predominance of acid mucins over neutral mucins. In addition in these cases we observed sulphomucin predominating over sialomucin. Conclusion: Mucin histochemistry can effectively determine the types of mucins. Keywords: Haematoxylin and Eosin; Periodic acid schiff; High iron Materials and Methods diamine; Alcian blue Paraffin embedded sections were prepared using automatic tissue Introduction processor, followed by preparation of paraffin block using our embedding station.

  • T-Cell Brain Infiltration and Immature Antigen-Presenting Cells in Transgenic Models of Alzheimerв€™S Disease-Like Cerebral
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2016 T-cell brain infiltration and immature antigen-presenting cells in transgenic models of Alzheimer’s disease-like cerebral amyloidosis Ferretti, M T ; Merlini, M ; Späni, C ; Gericke, C ; Schweizer, N ; Enzmann, G ; Engelhardt, B ; Kulic, L ; Suter, T ; Nitsch, R M Abstract: Cerebral beta-amyloidosis, one of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), elicits a well-characterised, microglia-mediated local innate immune response. In contrast, it is not clear whether cells of the adaptive immune system, in particular T-cells, react to cerebral amyloidosis in AD. Even though parenchymal T-cells have been described in post-mortem brains of AD patients, it is not known whether infiltrating T-cells are specifically recruited to the extracellular deposits of beta-amyloid, and whether they are locally activated into proliferating, effector cells upon interaction with antigen- presenting cells (APCs). To address these issues we have analysed by confocal microscopy and flow- cytometry the localisation and activation status of both T-cells and APCs in transgenic (tg) mice models of AD-like cerebral amyloidosis. Increased numbers of infiltrating T-cells were found in amyloid-burdened brain regions of tg mice, with concomitant up-regulation of endothelial adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, compared to non-tg littermates. The infiltrating T-cells in tg brains did not co-localise with amyloid plaques, produced less interferon-gamma than those in controls and did not proliferate locally. Bona-fide dendritic cells were virtually absent from the brain parenchyma of both non-tg andtgmice, and APCs from tg brains showed an immature phenotype, with accumulation of MHC-II in intracellular compartments.

This article is published with open access Abstract Liver diseases are a growing epidemic worldwide. If unresolved, liver fibrosis develops and can lead to cirrhosis and clinical decompensation. Around 5% of cirrhotic liver diseased patients develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which in its advanced stages has limited therapeutic options and negative survival outcomes. CEPBA is a master regulator of hepatic function where its expression is known to be suppressed in many forms of liver disease including HCC. Injection of MTL-CEBPA, a small activating RNA oligonucleotide therapy (CEBPA-51) formulated in liposomal nanoparticles 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: (NOV340- SMARTICLES) upregulates hepatic CEBPA expression. Here we show how MTL-CEBPA therapy promotes disease reversal in rodent models of cirrhosis, fibrosis, hepatosteatosis, and significantly reduces tumor burden in cirrhotic HCC. Restoration of liver function markers were observed in a carbon-tetrachloride-induced rat model of fibrosis following 2 weeks of MTL-CEBPA therapy.
