简介:目的:用过碘酸雪夫氏(PeriodicAcid-Schiff,PAS)染色法比较4%多聚甲醛固定液、4%戊二醛固定液和Davidson固定液固定豚鼠眼球的固定效果,筛选最佳眼球固定液和固定时间。方法:取正常豚鼠眼球分6组,每组5只,I组眼球放入4%多聚甲醛固定液固定24h、域组眼球放入4%戊二醛固定液固定24h;Ⅲ~V组眼球放入Davidson固定液分别固定3、6、24h;遇组眼球在Davidson固定液中固定3h后转移到10%中性甲醛中再固定48h。常规制片、PAS染色、显微镜观察,比较不同固定方法对组织的固定效果。结果:Davidson固定液固定3h的固定效果最为理想,Davidson固定液固定3h后转移到10%中性甲醛再固定48h的固定效果与Davidson固定液固定3h的固定效果接近,这两组固定液固定的眼球切片均结构完整、层次清晰,视网膜各层细胞排列整齐。结论:Davidson固定液对豚鼠眼球的固定效果明显优于其他两种固定液,豚鼠眼球用Davidson固定液固定后,可将其转移到中性甲醛中长期保存,其固定效果不受影响。
简介:目的:评估和比较白内障超声乳化摘出术的常规爆破、扭动爆破及扭动持续模式的临床疗效。方法:选取晶状体核硬度芋~郁级的白内障159例159眼,随机分为常规爆破组41例41眼、扭动爆破组63例63眼及扭动持续组55例55眼,分别采用常规爆破、扭动爆破及扭动持续模式的白内障超声乳化摘出联合人工晶状体植入术,比较三组术前及术后2wk角膜内皮细胞计数、角膜内皮细胞损失率、累积能量复合参数(cumulativedissipatedenergy,CDE)以及最佳矫正视力的情况。结果:术后2wk,芋级核和郁级核常规爆破组的CDE均明显少于扭动爆破组和扭动持续组(P〈0.05);角膜内皮细胞损失率常规爆破组明显大于其余两组,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);平均最佳矫正视力:三组组间比较均无显著差异(P〉0.05)。结论:常规爆破模式、扭动爆破模式及扭动持续模式均能有效、安全的实施白内障超声乳化摘出手术,视力提高无明显差异,但相比较而言,扭动爆破及扭动持续模式效率更高,对角膜内皮的保护也更好。
