چکیده

A reliable method for the determination of total liver iron in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue is presented. The correlation with total liver iron in fresh tissue is good (r = 0.92). Material, which is processed routinely in the pathological anatomical department and stored in the archives, can be used for a quantitative iron determination for clinical or research purposes.

Study of sample collection and preparation methods for multi element analysis in liver tissue by proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE).

Large samples of tissue and biopsy specimen were taken from a single human liver, homogenized or paraffin-embedded, then analyzed by PIXE. Homogenates, including those of biopsies, proved to be suitable for PIXE-analysis of P, S, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Rb, Mo, Cd and, to a limited extent, Pb. Paraffin-embedding leads to a distinct elution of K, Rb, Cl and to a lesser elution of P, Zn, Se, Br a...

Development of a robust protocol for gene expression analysis using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded liver transplant biopsy specimens

Liver transplant biopsies are routinely archived following formalin fixation and paraffin embedding and may provide an additional source of diagnostic information following transcriptomic biomarker analysis. This study was designed to compare gene transcription between resting and stressed biliary cells in culture, these cells after fixation and embedding and archival liver transplant biopsy ti...

Immunofluorescent detection of alpha1-antitrypsin in paraffin embedded liver tissue.

Alpha1-antitrypsin was detected by indirect immunofluorescence in frozen sections of liver biopsies from patients with clinically and biochemically proven alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency. The antigen could also be demonstrated in those liver specimens of the same patients which were fixed in Bouin's fluid and embedded in paraffin. The cellular localization and the brightness of the fluorescence w...

Correlation between histopathological criteria of Human Papilloma Virus infection and the presence of HPV in paraffin-embedded cervical biopsies based on PCR assay

Introduction: This study was carried out to correlate histological findings in cervical lesions to human papilloma virus (HPV), as detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methods: In this descriptive study, out of 143 cervical biopsies, 50 biopsies, containing sufficient histopathologic criteria, were examined. PCR assay was performed with the primers GP05/06+ and, as control, the beta-glo...
