CD3 staining was subsequently evaluated separately and independently.RESULTS: Differences in evaluation between the routine HE sections and CD3 staining were present in 20(12.6%) cases. In 10(6.3%) patients the diagnosis of celiac disease(Marsh Ⅱ and Ⅲ) changed on examination of CD3 staining: in 9 cases, celiac disease had initially been missed on the HE sections, while 1 patient had been over-diagnosed on the routine sections. In all patients, the final diagnosis based on CD3 staining, was concordant with serological results, which was not found previously. In the other 10(12.3%) patients, the detection of sole intra-epithelial lymphocytosis(Marsh Ⅰ) improved. Nine patients were found to have Marsh Ⅰ on CD3 sections, which had been missed on routine sections. Interestingly, the only patient with negative serology had Giardiasis. Finally, in 1 patient with negative serology, in whom Marsh Ⅰ was suspected on HE sections, this diagnosis was withdrawn after evaluation of the CD3 sections.CONCLUSION: Staining for CD3 has an additional value in the histological detection of celiac disease lesions, and CD3 staining should be performed when there is a discrepancy between serology and the diagnosis made on HE sections.展开更多
A new complex Tb(IB)_3(phen)·2H_2O that gives off green fluorescence was synthesized.

The results show that the strong fluorescence emitting of 490 and 545 nm for Tb 3+ in the Tb(IB)_3(phen)·2H_2O complex is related to the transitions 5D_4-7F_6 and 5D_4-7F_5, respectively. The results indicate that the complex is concentrated on the nuclei regions in the section of onion toot tip tissues and the nuclei are high lighted under fluorescent microscope. It is possible that the Tb(IB)_3(phen)·2H_2O complex can be developed as a fluorescent dye in biological and pathological studies.展开更多

Despite implementation of flow cytometric, cytogenetic and molecular techniques for identification of leukemic blasts, histochemical stains such as myeloperoxidase stain are persistently used for better classification of leukemias. The myeloperoxidase staining is a time consuming and hazardous procedure. The present report describes a sensitive, rapid and easy method for assessment of peroxidase activity. Materials and Methods: Bone marrow aspiration slides were stained with Dako product: Code number: K3467 containing DAB chromogen (3,3-diaminobenzidine in chromogen solution) and substrate buffer (Imidasole-HCL buffer, PH 7.5 containing hydrogen peroxide and an anti microbial agent) in a rapid procedure taking only ten minutes time. The staining needs no material preparation steps. Neutrophils in the slide are taken as positive control or another normal smear was costained to be used as control. All cases were followed up with flow cytometry and cytogenetic studies. Result: The reaction product of this stain is brown and granular. Promyelocytes and myelocytes are the most strongly staining cells with positive (primary) granules. Lymphoblasts are negative. The result of classification of leukemias with this technique was in concordance with flow cytometric immunophenotyping. Discussion: Many practical techniques have been described using benzidine as an indicator for myeloperoxidase staining. Benzidine is a carcinogenic material and its usage is severely restricted in laboratory. Formerly we prepared requisite materials for myeloperoxidase staining by hazardous ways (boiling), but we decided to apply ready to use 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB), which is used in final step of immunohistochemistry stains. Conclusion: Use of 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) is highly recommended for myeloperoxidase staining, while the result is extraordinary and fully compatible with flow cytometry and the method is safe and rapid.展开更多
