Application of ultrastructural morphometry to lung biopsy specimens in pulmonary histiocytosis X.
Stereological techniques were applied to an electron microscopic study of biopsy samples from nine human lungs with diffuse pulmonary histiocytosis X, and the results were compared with values for normal lungs. This made possible a morphometric analysis of the tissue changes associated with the measurable abnormalities in gas transfer present in this disease. The small increases in arithmetic m...
متن کاملUltrastructural Morphometry of Endomyocardial Biopsy Samples
Background. The coronary microvasculature may be abnormal even in the presence of angiographically normal epicardial arteries. Abnormalities of small coronary vessels have been invoked as a cause of angina. Methods and Results. To quantitatively evaluate the morphology of capillaries in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or the syndrome of angina and small vessel disease (SVD...
متن کاملPrimary pulmonary histiocytosis X.
During the past 40 years, three previously unrecognized disorders of the reticuloendothelial system have been described : Letterer-Siwe’s disease,’ Hand-Sch#{252}ller-Christian’s disease,24 and eosinophilic granuloma.5’6 Due largely to the influence of Lichtenstein,7 the opinion now prevails that these three disorders are fundamentally related. They differ from one another mainly in terms of pa...
متن کاملLung -Adrenoceptors in Pulmonary Hypertension* A Study of Biopsy Specimens in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Characteristics of 3-adrenoceptors were analyzed using radioligand-binding techniques with H-dihydroalprenolol in lung specimens from 11 children with pulmonary hypertension (median age, three years) undergoing surgical repair ofeongenital heart defects and four pediatric control subjects (median age, five years) undergoing thoracotomy for removal of neoplasms or cysts. Scatchard analysis of 3H...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of direct immunofluorescence of mucosal and skin biopsy specimens on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy specimens compared to specimens placed in normal saline as the gold standard method in the diagnosis of a group of autoimmun
Background and Aim: Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) is represented as a gold standard method in diagnosis of autoimmune blistering dermatoses. Normal saline, liquid nitrogen and michel’ solution are a widely accepted media for preserving biopsy samples of skin or mucosa before DIF examination. Occasionally clinicians put the biopsy specimen taken for DIF in formalin 10%, occasionally clinicians...
