Problems solved by technology

[0002] Collagen fibers are widely distributed in various organs and are the most abundant fibers. There are four types of collagen fibers (I, II, III, and IV) known in the prior art. These four types of collagen fibers are important for research The pathogenesis and evolution of lesions have certain significance. Although immunohistochemical staining and molecular pathology techniques have developed rapidly, the application of special staining methods in pathological diagnosis is still irreplaceable; currently commonly used special staining methods for collagen fibers include Masson staining , VanGieson staining, HE staining, picric acid-Sirius red staining methods, etc. Under the light microscope, Masson staining and Van Gieson staining cannot distinguish different types of collagen fibers, and it is difficult to complete the distribution of various types of collagen fibers on tissue sections. Observation and detection of structure and content; and this kind of staining steps are cumbersome and difficult to operate; application of picric acid-Sirius red staining method combined with polarizing microscope observation of collagen fibers can improve resolution; combined with image analysis technology, different types of The type, distribution, arrangement and content of collagen fibers can be analyzed by positioning and quantitative analysis of collagen fibers, which is convenient for judging the degree of tissue fibrosis. This method has incomparable advantages over ordinary light microscope observation
[0003] In the prior art, conventional picric acid-Sirius red staining is used. Under the polarizing microscope, the collagen fibers are weakly stained and the effect is not good. Moreover, ethanol dehydration is often used after the sections are stained, which easily weakens the background of the yellow staining, resulting in collagen fiber structure. Not clear, affecting the correct observation of the tissue and lesion analysis

Abstract

The invention provides a staining method for observing collagen fibers with a polarized light microscope. The method is to stain with saturated picric acid-Sirius red staining solution at 70°C-90°C, then soak the tissue sections with a weak acid solution with a concentration of 1-10% w / v, and finally soak the tissue sections as usual. Washing, drying, and fixing; the heated picric acid has a stronger penetration effect on the tissue, making the background of the lining more vivid, and the heated Sirius red dye solution is also more firmly adsorbed on the collagen fibers, and the coloring is clear; the weak acid solution can be washed off The crystallization of picric acid precipitated in the tissue section is not easy to wash off the background of the yellow lining, so as to ensure that the collagen fibers are well colored, the background of the yellow lining is obvious, and the collagen fibers are clear; the dyeing method of the present invention has good repeatability, and the collagen fibers are colored Obviously, the fiber structure is clear. This method is conducive to the positioning and quantitative analysis of different types of collagen fibers, and is convenient for judging the degree of tissue fibrosis.
