چکیده
A technique for the extraction of cells from bone marrow trephine core biopsy specimens using collagenase digestion was assessed in 39 cases (33 diagnostic and six normal). Diagnostically useful numbers of cells were extracted from all marrows. Morphological assessment ofcytocentrifuge preparations of these cells gave a correct diagnosis in 23 (60%) of cases compared with 27 (70%) for the corresponding aspirated marrow smears. Phenotypic analysis using flow cytometry showed persistence of a range of surface membrane antigens following collagenase digestion. Increased autofluorescence was a problem in some cases. Cytochemistry, bone marrow culture, and cytogenetic analysis could also be carried out on these cells. It is concluded that this technique has useful diagnostic applications in cases of dry taps.

Use of methyl methacrylate resin for embedding bone marrow trephine biopsy specimens.
AIMS To evaluate the use of methyl methacrylate resin as an embedding medium for undecalcified bone marrow trephine biopsy specimens. METHODS About 2500 undecalcified bone marrow trephine biopsy specimens were processed, and embedded in methyl methacrylate resin. Semithin sections (2-3 microns) were stained by routine tinctorial and immunocytochemical staining methods with a wide range of ant...
متن کاملTechniques for obtaining differential cell counts from bone marrow trephine biopsy specimens.
Differential cell counts were performed on 200 paired bone marrow aspirates and trephine biopsy specimens to compare the distribution of cell types. Relatively more immature myeloid cells were found in the trephine biopsy specimens and relatively more polymorphs and lymphocytes in the aspirates. Two methods for sampling areas of the trephine biopsy specimens for counting were assessed, and the ...

Aim-To develop methods of messenger RNA (mRNA) in situ hybridisation (ISH) for use with routinely processed bone marrow trephine biopsy specimens, decalcified using formic acid, and long term cultures in order to demonstrate sites of synthesis of mRNA encoding monocyte colony stimulating factor (M-CSF).Methods-Biotinylated oligonucleotide probes, directed against target sequences within M-CSF m...
متن کاملAdequacy of bone marrow trephine biopsy specimens in children.
AIMS To evaluate success in obtaining adequate bone marrow trephine biopsy cores from children. METHODS Sections of trephine biopsy cores submitted by 25 centres from children with neuroblastoma over a five year period were reviewed centrally. In cores containing no tumour adequacy was defined as 0.5 cm of well preserved bone marrow after processing. Occasional smaller cores containing obviou...
متن کاملSoft-tissue Biopsy Technique
The instrument described here consists of a special syringe on which sharp cutting needles of various sizes are mounted. These produce undistorted biopsy specimens. Suction is used only to retain the specimen within the needle, and the cleancut cylinder of tissue is quite unlike that obtained by aspiration. Gillman and Gillman&2 used this principle for their liver biopsy instrument. We have ret...
