Histological Analysis of Tissue Samples

The method for detection of histological changes has been described in a previous study [24 (link)]. The fixed samples were dehydrated, cleaned, embedded in paraffin, and sliced to 5 μm slices by use of an RM2235 microtome (Leica, Munich, Germany). Sliced samples were flattened and dried on glass slides, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA), and sealed with neutral resin. The histopathological changes were observed by a CX22 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo Metropolitan, Japan) and a DM1000 microimaging system (Leica, Munich, Germany) was applied for image recording. In pathological diagnosis, we used INHAND criteria (Table 1) to judge the severity of histological lesions [25 (link)].

Histological Analysis of Chicken Intestine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Histological analysis was performed adhering to the guidelines described in the previous study (Uni et al., 2001 (link)). Trimmed samples were dehydrated, cleared, and then embedded in paraffin. The samples were sectioned into 5 μm slices using a RM2235 microtome (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany), flattened onto glass slides, and then dried. After dewaxing with xylene, the sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (Thermo, Waltham, MA) and then sealed with neutral resin. Five sections of each of the chicken's intestinal specimen (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) were taken, and pictures (400 × ) taken on them (5 each) were examined under a CX22 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) with DM1000 microimaging system (Leica) randomly. The villus height as well as crypt depth were determined by Image Pro Plus 6.0. The villus/crypt ratio was calculated according to villus height/crypt depth.

Histological Analysis of Kidney Samples

Histological analysis was performed adhering to the guidelines described in the previous study [11 (link)]. The kidney samples were fixed in 4% (wt/vol) buffered paraformaldehyde for 24 h. The trimmed samples were dehydrated, cleared and then embedded in paraffin. The samples were sectioned into 5 μm slices by using a RM2235 microtome (Leica, Munich, Germany), flattened onto glass slides and then dried. After dewaxing with xylene, the sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA) and then sealed with neutral resin. The histopathological change of the kidneys was visualized under a CX22 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo Metropolitan, Japan), and a DM1000 microimaging system (Leica, Munich, Germany) was used to capture images.

Histological Analysis of Liver Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liver samples were fixed in 4% (wt/vol) buffered paraformaldehyde for 24 h. Trimmed samples were dehydrated in embedding cassettes (75% ethanol for 6 h, 85% ethanol for 10 h, 95% ethanol for 4 h, ethyl alcohol I for 2 h, and ethyl alcohol II for 2 h), cleared (xylene I for 20 min and xylene II for 15 min), immersed in paraffin for 3 h, and finally embedded. The samples were cut into 5 µm slices by using a RM2235 microtome (Leica, Germany), flattened onto glass slides in warm water, and then baked at 60 °C for at least 2 h. After dewaxing with xylene, the sections were flushed in water for 20 min, stained with hematoxylin (Thermo, USA) for 30 min, flushed again, differentiated with hydrochloric ethanol, and finally stained with eosin (Thermo, USA) for 5 min. After the sample was dehydrated and cleared again, the samples were sealed with neutral resin size. Liver steatosis and necrosis were observed under a CX22 microscope (Olympus, Japan), and DM1000 microimaging system (Leica, Germany) was used to capture images.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
