Histological Analysis of Heart Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hearts were dissected free from the surrounding connective tissue, and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and then cut into slices using a microtome (Leica RM 2235 or Leica CM1850UV; Leica, Solms, Germany). The slices were then mounted onto glass slides, and histological examinations were performed. Immunohistochemistry was performed using Histofine Simple Stain kit (Nichirei, Tokyo, Japan), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, sections were deparaffinised with xylene and then rehydrated in a descending ethanol series. Sections were treated with 3% H2O2 in methanol for 15 min to inactivate endogenous peroxidases and then incubated with a primary antibody against p62 (rabbit anti-p62 antibody, 1:200; Proteintech); LC3 (rabbit anti-LC3 antibody, 1:200; Proteintech); CD68 (rabbit anti-CD68 antibody, 1:250; Abcam) at room temperature for 1 h. All sections were examined under an Olympus BX40 upright light microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

In short, after perfusion, the left ventricular tissues were fixed (4% PFA), dehydrated (graded alcohols), cleared (xylene), paraffin-infiltrated and embedded, in sequence. The microtome (Leica RM2235, Leica microscopic system Shanghai Co., Ltd., China) was used to slice the tissues. The sections were dewaxed (xylene), hydrated (alcohol), stained with hematoxylin (5 minutes), differentiated with 1% hydrochloric acid alcohol (2 seconds), stained with eosin (8 minutes), dehydrated with alcohol and cleared in xylene. Finally, the mounted slides were photographed using a digital slice scanner (Olympus VS200, Olympus Corporation, Japan).

Shoot tips and series of internodes of stem from PtrHB4pro: GUS transgenic plants were hand‐sectioned and then incubated in 50% acetone (v/v) for 10 min on ice, and incubated in GUS stain solution (100 mm sodium phosphate (pH7.0), 10 mm EDTA, 0.5 mm ferricyanide, 0.5 mm ferrocyanide, 0.1% Triton X‐100, 20% methanol and 2 mm X‐Gluc) at 37 °C for 2 h. Following staining, sections were cleared by 75% ethanol and photographed. Shoot tips and stem segments with 3 mm length at different internodes from transgenic and wild type plants were fixed in formaldehyde‐acetic acid solution (formaldehyde:glacial acetic acid:ethanol [1 : 1 : 18]) for 24 h, dehydrated in graded ethanol series, and embedded into paraplast. The samples were sectioned to 10 μm thick using rotary microtome of Leica RM2235 (Leica, http://www.leica-microsystems.com/products). The sections were stained with toluidine blue and observed under a light microscope of OLYMPUS BX51 (OLYMPUS). For lignin staining, sections were immersed in 1% phloroglucinol (w/v) in 12% HCl for 5 min and immediately observed with a light microscope.

The transplanted liver was double-fixed by glutaraldehyde and osmic acid, dehydrated by gradient acetone, immersed in embedding medium, ultrathin sectioned using an automatic microtome (LeicaRM2235, Leica, Germany), and stained with 1% uranyl acetate. The tissue slices were observed and filmed under a transmission electron microscope (Hitachi, Japan) to observe the status of mitochondria in the hepatocytes.

Transgenic tumor samples were fixated with Roti®-Histofix (Roth) and embedded in paraffin. Paraffin blocks were sliced at 4 µm thickness using LEICA RM2235 (Leica) and transferred to a specimen slide. Staining was performed for hematoxylin and eosin as well as Phox2b. Images were acquired using a Nikon Eclipse TE2000-E microscope with a 20 × objective and 1.5 manual magnification.

Testes were fixed in Bouin’s solution. After dehydration, tissues were embedded with paraffin (HistoCore Arcadia, Leica, Mannheim, Germany). Paraffin-embedded tissues were then cut for 5 µm by microtome (Leica RM2235, Leica, Mannheim, Germany). After rehydration, sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Images were examined by using a microscope (ECLIPSE E200, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan), and captured by CCD (MS60, MshOt, Guangzhou, China).

Ocular Globe Histological Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The inclusion criteria were mainly based on the preserved quality of the globes. One globe was used from each species and was dissected to examine the cornea and limbus.
The tissue was fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin at room temperature (RT) overnight. The tissue was then placed in a tissue-embedding cassette and processed. Each processed ocular globe was then embedded in paraffin wax using a mold. A microtome (Leica RM2235; Leica, Germany) was used to make 4 µm sections that were mounted on slides (Surgipath X-tra Adhesive Precleaned Microslides; Leica Biosystems, USA). Twenty slides were made from each embedded block. All slides were placed in an incubator (Leec, UK) at 37°C overnight.

Meat Composition and Fiber Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AOAC standard procedures were used to evaluate the content of crude protein (CP), moisture (MSTR), total ash (Ash), and ether extract (EE). The MSTR content of the meat samples was determined by drying the meat samples in an oven at 105 °C. The CP and EE contents were estimated using the Soxhlet extraction method and the Kjeldahl technique, respectively. The meat samples were burned in a crucible at a temperature of 550 °C for 4 h to determine the content of ash.
The traditional hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining method was used to measure the total number, total area, density, and diameter of the muscle fibers. Slides were imaged via a Leica RM2235 slide scanner (Leica RM2235, Nussloch, Germany), and images were acquired using CaseViewer 6.0 software (3DHistech, Ltd., Budapest, Hungary).

Root Canal Histological Evaluation

Each canal was irrigated and filled overnight with 1 mL of 10% buffered formalin to allow for fixation of any remaining biofilm, as described earlier [14 (link)]. Roots were embedded in paraffin.
The roots were divided into three regions as—apical region (with sub-regions at 1, 2, and 3 mm) and middle region (with sub-regions at 4, 5, and 6 mm). Four slices at 1 mm increments were obtained at each sub-region using a rotary microtome (Leica RM2235, Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) for a total of 24 sections per root. 12 sections were stained using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and 12 sections were stained using modified Brown and Brenn (B&B). The H&E stained and B&B stained cross-sections were further examined using an optical stereomicroscope (Leica DMLB, Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) and images were acquired using a camera (Leica DFC290, Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). For further analysis, B&B stained slides were examined at 13.5× magnification. Resulting images were subjected to morphometric analysis [21 (link)].

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.
