STAINING OF A PROTEIN POLYSACCHARIDE MODEL WITH SILVER METHENAMINE

Utility of reflexive gomori methenamine silver and Acid-fast bacillus staining on bronchoalveolar lavage specimens.

OBJECTIVE Reflexive testing of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens with Gomori methenamine silver (GMS) and acid-fast bacillus (AFB) stains is not routinely performed by most institutions. Instead, these stains are usually ordered to evaluate for the presence of fungal elements and/or acid-fast organisms if initial histopathologic assessment suggests the presence of these pathogens. Our inst...

Modified Grocott's methenamine silver nitrate method for quick staining of Pneumocystis carinii.

Antibacterial and Immunomodulatory Effects of Hexamethylenetetramine (Methenamine) Silver Nitrate

Introduction: Currently, developing new antibacterial drugs as alternative antibiotics is a very active area of research, due to widspreading widespread prevalence of resistant strains of microorganisms. This work intends to investigate of antibacterial properties and influence on immune blood cells of the silver-based compound hexamethylenetetramine (methenamine) silver nitrate with general fo...

Silver Staining of Alzheimer's Disease.

Paraffin sections were deparaffinized and hydrated to distilled water, then placed in 20% silver nitrate and kept in 60°C for 15 minutes, then rinsed in distilled water. Then sections were treated with formalin solution containing ammoniacal silver solution for about 15 min, followed by rinsing and placing tissue in sodium thiosulfate solution for 2 minutes and washing in tap water. The section...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
