Conventional transmission electron microscopic (TEM) preparations do not distinguish the A-layer and the exocuticles of hair shafts. However, after ATG treatment, the A-layer appears in higher contrast. ATG treatment has also been used to observe the fibrillar structure in the cortex. In the cuticle of beetles, the epicuticle is stained by ATG. Although the human hair shaft (keratin) and insect cuticle (chitin) are composed of different materials, both can be reduced by the ATG solution. The ammonium in the ATG solution reacts with hair shafts and insect cuticles, causing a reduction of swelled cuticles. Therefore, ATG not only stains, but also reduces human hair shafts and the cuticles of beetles.展开更多

文摘目的探讨在HPV阳性女性中,液基细胞学、DNA倍体分析及P16/Ki-67双染检测对宫颈癌前病变的分流作用。方法回顾性分析2021年5月至2022年12月在我院妇科行阴道镜及宫颈活检的妇女590例。患者高危人乳头瘤病毒(human papilloma virus,HPV)检测阳性,且行液基细胞学(liquid-based cytology,LBC)、DNA倍体分析、P16/Ki-67双染3种检查,对上述3种方法的灵敏度、特异性、受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)曲线进行统计分析。结果液基细胞学、DNA倍体分析和P16/Ki-67双染3种筛查方法对宫颈癌前病变的灵敏度分别为84.2%、77.5%、76.4%,特异性分别为40.7%、49.2%、70.1%,曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)分别是0.625、0.634、0.733,其中,P16/Ki-67双染检测显著优于液基细胞学检查及DNA倍体分析(P<0.0001)。结论本研究认为,在HPV阳性女性中,P16/Ki-67双染检测的分流效果最佳。
