The vascular corrosion casting (VCC) and scanning electron microscopy study on changes of vascular networks arrangement in the organs undergoing cyclic volume changes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In our study the VCC technique has been used to observe changes in the arrangement of the blood vessels in the wall of the gallbladder and urinary bladder in pig, which undergoes a variable change in the volume during their cyclical filling of urine or bile. The changes in the angioarchitecture of the gallbladder and urinary bladder has been describe in a few species of laboratory animals, but the studies mostly concentrate on description of spatial microvascularisation in particular layers.

Hierarchical microimaging for multiscale analysis of large vascular networks.
There is a wide range of diseases and normal physiological processes that are associated with alterations of the vascular system in organs. Ex vivo imaging of large vascular networks became feasible with recent developments in microcomputed tomography (microCT). Current methods permit to visualize only limited numbers of physically excised regions of interests (ROIs) from larger samples. We dev...
متن کاملPorcine liver vascular bed in Biodur E20 corrosion casts.
BACKGROUND Pigs are frequently used as animal models in experimental medicine. To identify processes of vascular development or regression, vascular elements must be recognised and quantified in a three-dimensional (3D) arrangement. Vascular corrosion casts enable the creation of 3D replicas of vascular trees. The aim of our study was to identify suitable casting media and optimise the protocol...

The aim of this study was to examine the tracheal vasculature in 5 month human foetuses, and to determine whether it differs from that previously described by other authors for adult human trachea. The vascular bed was visualized using the technique of corrosion casting and examined by scanning electron microscopy. The arrangement of larger vessels: longitudinal tracheo-oesophageal arteries and...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of vascular corrosion casts (microvascular corrosion casting/SEM method) is a standard method, which allows three-dimensional visualization with good resolution of the normal and abnormal microvessels, including the capillaries of various organs and tissues. SEM of vascular corrosion casts can obtain qualitative as well as quantitative informations important t...

This study aimed to describe the impressive diversity of vascular plexiform structures of the hypodermal layer of human skin. We chose the human body site with the highest concentration of dermal corpuscles, the human digit, and processed it with the corrosion casting technique and scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM). This approach proved to be the best tool to study these microvascular...
