Problems solved by technology

[0004] Aiming at the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present invention provides a resin embedding method for light-transparent biological tissue, the purpose of which is to select and adopt an embedding medium that has a matching refractive index with the tissue itself to treat the tissue. Embedding, so as to obtain a resin-embedded tissue with a certain degree of transparency, thus solving the problem that the tissue transparency means of the prior art can only be carried out in a solution medium, and cannot be applied to cutting imaging; while the traditional tissue embedding technology can be applied to cutting imaging , but due to the opacity of the tissue after embedding, the Z-axis imaging depth is small during cutting imaging, and the imaging time is too long.

Embodiment 1

[0035] A resin embedding method for phototransparent mouse brain tissue, comprising the steps of:

[0036] (1) Place the rat brain fixed with formaldehyde solution in a tetrahydrofuran-water mixture (with a tetrahydrofuran content of 50%) for 12 hours; then replace the solution with a mixed solution with a tetrahydrofuran ratio of 80% for 1 hour; continue to replace until 1 h in pure THF, twice. The treated rat brain was then placed in dichloromethane for half an hour (eg figure 1 );

[0037] (2) Add the monomer benzyl methacrylate dropwise on the basic alumina (200-300 mesh) column chromatography column prepared in advance, flow out under the pressure of the air pump, and remove the polymerization inhibitor therein;

[0038] (3) In a serum bottle with a volume of 10ml, soak the treated rat brain in benzyl methacrylate monomer (2ml) (polymerization monomer), then add the initiator azobisisoheptanonitrile (4mg ) to fully dissolve it. Then wrap the bottle with tinfoil for sh...

[0042] Transparent embedding was performed using 2-acrylic acid-2-hydroxy-3-phenoxyacrylic acid as monomer.

[0043] (1) Place the rat brain fixed with formaldehyde solution in a tetrahydrofuran-water mixture (with a tetrahydrofuran content of 50%) for 12 hours; then replace the solution with a mixed solution with a tetrahydrofuran ratio of 80% for 1 hour; continue to replace until 1 h in pure THF, twice. The treated rat brain was then placed in dichloromethane for half an hour (eg figure 1 );

[0044] (2) Add the monomer 2-acrylic acid-2-hydroxyl-3-phenoxyacrylic acid dropwise on the basic alumina (200-300 mesh) column chromatography column prepared in advance, and flow out under the pressure of the air pump, Remove the polymerization inhibitor therein;

[0045] (3) The rat brain after transparent treatment was placed in a serum bottle with a capacity of 10 ml. Soak the treated rat brain in 2-acrylic acid-2-hydroxyl-3-phenoxyacrylic acid monomer (2ml) (polymerizable monom...

Abstract

The invention discloses a resin embedding method of light transmittance biological tissues. The tissues are embedded with an embedding medium with the refractive index matched with the tissues in order to obtain resin embedded tissues with certain transparency, wherein the embedding medium is a polymer formed through initiator initiated polymerization of polymerization monomers. The resin embedding method of the light transmittance biological tissues guarantees that the resin provides solid support, provides certain light transmittance for the biological tissues, and allows the depth of sample imaging to be increased and the Z-axial cutting thickness to be increased during cutting imaging of the tissues, so the tissue imaging time is greatly shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical optical imaging, and specifically designs a resin embedding method for light-transparent biological tissue that can embed rat brain tissue and maintain a certain degree of transparency after monomer polymerization (embedding). . Background technique [0002] With the vigorous development of the subject of biomedical photonics, the analysis of the neural network structure in the brain and tissue by modern optical technology has entered a stage of rapid development. In brain imaging technology, extremely high resolution can be obtained through layer-by-layer cutting imaging, and people have obtained extremely fine 3D brain distribution maps of the whole brain of rats. However, due to the opacity of the brain tissue, the light penetration depth is insufficient, and the z-axis cutting thickness is small, resulting in the disadvantage of slow imaging speed. The ultimate goal of studying the struct...
