Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pathological cell analysis, and in particular to a pathological cytology blood removal kit and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] Clinical cytology samples submitted for examination often form bloody samples due to damage to the sampling site or invasion of blood vessels by lesions. Most of them appear in malignant pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and cytology samples obtained by puncture sampling. Sometimes, bleeding may also occur during the lavage sampling process in parts such as the bronchi and alveoli, forming bloody samples. Due to the easy coagulation property of blood, there may also be some jelly-like substances in a small amount of samples, which will seriously affect the quality of pathological cell smears and increase the difficulty of interpreting pathological cells.

[0003] The above-mentioned difficulties in interpretation are mainly manifested as follows: (1) In terms of centrifugal enrichment of cells in the sample: The presence of a large number of blood cells and some jelly-like substances affects the discrimination of the effective cell layer for observing cell precipitation. When the sample is thick with blood, there will be no stratification state, increasing the difficulty of slide preparation, and it is impossible to ensure whether effective cells can be accurately extracted, reducing the cell content on the slide; (2) In terms of microscopic cell interpretation: Since a large amount of hemoglobin and blood cells adhere to the slide under the microscope field of view, they will cover some pathological cells, reducing the number of pathological cells under the microscope and making it impossible for the interpreter to clearly observe the cell morphology, thus affecting the interpretation. Therefore, removing the interference of red blood cells is the key to making high-quality pathological cell smears.

[0004] The existing methods for removing blood from pathological cell samples mainly include the following several methods: 1. High-concentration glacial acetic acid-based cell cleaning solution; 2. A liquid mixture of ethanol or methanol at a certain concentration; 3. Commercial hemolytic agents with potassium cyanide or hemolytic agents containing ammonium chloride. Among the above three methods, in method 1, while lysing red blood cells with a high-concentration glacial acetic acid-based cell cleaning solution, some diseased cells will also be lost, which is likely to cause missed diagnosis; method 2 uses the principle of osmotic pressure to lyse red blood cells, and low-concentration alcohols cannot better fix the cell morphology, causing them to degenerate and affecting the diagnosis; method 3, the commercial hemolytic agent is relatively expensive, and the potassium cyanide hemolytic agent contains highly toxic potassium cyanide components, which pose a threat to both the operator and the environment; while the ammonium chloride hemolytic agent needs to be diluted immediately before use and cannot be stored for a long time. After blood removal, the cell structure is clear, but there are still many red blood cell shadows in the background. Especially when the sample is thick with blood, blood removal is not thorough, and it has an agglomerating effect on cells, making the cells easy to overlap and affecting the observation.

[0005] In addition, another key point in making high-quality pathological cell smears is to prevent pathological cells from falling off the glass slides during slide preparation. In recent years, there are many brands and types of anti-drop glass slides dedicated to pathology, which are mainly applicable to special staining, immunohistochemistry, frozen section, etc. For the treatment of pathological cells, the most commonly used method at present is liquid-based thin-layer preparation, which is not standardized in the production of conventional pathological cell smears and spin smears. The phenomenon of cell shedding is widespread. Especially for samples treated with blood removal, the cell adhesion decreases and the shedding is more serious, which brings great troubles to clinical pathological diagnosis, delays the diagnosis time, and even has the risk of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

[0006] In view of the above problems, developing a new type of blood removal kit for pathological cytology and its use method to improve the accuracy of pathological cytology diagnosis is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The first object of the present invention is to provide a blood removal kit for pathological cytology, which ensures the consistency between the microscopic field of view and the submitted sample, and improves the accuracy of pathological cytology diagnosis;

[0008] The second object of the present invention is to provide a use method of the blood removal kit for pathological cytology, which standardizes the operation process of pathological cell detection and improves the accuracy of pathological cytology diagnosis.

[0009] The present invention provides a blood removal kit for pathological cytology, including a blood removal reagent and a cell anti-drop glass slide; the blood removal reagent includes alcohols, glacial acetic acid, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, a mucus softening agent and deionized water; and the amounts of glacial acetic acid, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride and the mucus softening agent corresponding to every 25-30 mL of alcohols are 4-8 mL, 0.02-0.025 g, 0.1-0.15 g, 0.6-0.8 g and 0.1-0.15 g respectively.

[0010] The blood removal kit for pathological cytology of the present invention includes a blood removal reagent and a cell anti - detachment glass slide. Among them, the reagents used in the blood removal reagent are of low cost and are all common chemical reagents. Among them, alcohols account for 25% - 30% of the blood removal reagent. At this time, the solution is in a hypotonic state and the tension on the cells is increased, which can lyse anucleated red blood cells. At the same time, it can fix the albumin of other nucleated cells, so that the nucleated cells maintain their general morphology. When the concentration of alcohols is lower than this concentration, the nucleated cells become swollen and degenerate. When the concentration of alcohols is higher than this concentration, hemoglobin denatures and is difficult to redissolve, producing a large amount of bloody sediment. The content of glacial acetic acid accounts for 4% - 8% of the blood removal reagent. This concentration of glacial acetic acid can both lyse red blood cells and fix the nuclear protein of diseased cells, and is not affected by the hypotonic environment and tension, so that the cells maintain their original morphology. When the concentration of glacial acetic acid is lower than the lower limit concentration, it cannot effectively fix the nuclear protein. When the concentration of glacial acetic acid is higher than the upper limit concentration, the cells will expand and change their normal structure. Sodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate form a buffer system, making the whole blood removal reagent weakly acidic with a wide buffer range, which can be suitable for a variety of pathological cell samples. And the mucus softener N - acetyl can remove the mucus present in the sample, so that all diseased cells are released.

[0011] Therefore, under the interaction of the above - mentioned components of the blood removal reagent of the present invention, it can process a variety of bloody samples, and can protect the effective cell components while removing blood, so as to preserve most of the cells in their original state on the glass slide. When making a pathological cell smear with the kit provided by the present invention, for bloody samples, it can effectively remove the interference of red blood cells and mucus components, make the cells better enriched, and maintain the original morphology of diseased cells and normal cells. Most of the cells can be preserved on the glass slide during specimen preparation, reducing the probability of specimen preparation failure caused by cell detachment and improving the excellent - specimen rate of pathological cell slides.

[0012] Preferably as this technical solution, the alcohols include any one of methanol and ethanol or a mixture composed of the two in any proportion, and the mass concentration of the methanol and the ethanol is 95 - 100%.

[0013] Preferably as this technical solution, the mucus softener is N - acetyl - L - cysteine.

[0014] N - acetyl - L - cysteine, the mucus softener in the present invention, accounts for 0.1% - 0.15% of the blood removal reagent. Its function is to remove the mucus present in the sample, so that all diseased cells are released, thus facilitating the enrichment of diseased cells. And its concentration increases as the concentration of glacial acetic acid decreases, because glacial acetic acid also has a part of the function of dissolving mucus.

[0015] Preferably as this technical solution, the cell anti - detachment glass slide is obtained by processing a glass slide through the following steps:

[0016] S1. Immerse the glass slide in the cleaning solution for soaking and cleaning, fish it out, and then wash it with clean water and drain it.

[0017] S2. Immerse the glass slide obtained in step S1 in a saturated solution of concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate for 10 - 20 h, fish it out, wash it with clean water and drain it, then immerse it in a 95% ethanol solution for 1 - 3 h, take it out and air-dry it dust-free.

[0018] S3. Drop the anti - detachment working solution on the surface of the glass slide obtained in step S2, cover it with another glass slide, and use the pulling method to separate the two glass slides, air-dry them in a cool and dust-free place, and repeat the above steps once to obtain the cell anti - detachment glass slide.

[0019] Among them, step 1 specifically includes: adding enzyme - containing washing powder and purified water in a ratio of 1:50, adding the washing powder to hot water to prepare the cleaning solution, immersing the ordinary glass slide in the cleaning solution, turning it several times during this period, when the water temperature is touchable by hand, fish out the glass slide, rinse it several times under running water until there is no foam and no mark residue, wash it with clean water and drain it. To remove impurities, dust and grease on the surface of the glass slide and reduce the surface roughness.

[0020] Step S2 specifically includes: immersing the glass slide in the saturated solution of concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate overnight, carefully fish it out and then put it into clean water to wash it thoroughly and drain it, finally immerse it in a 95% ethanol solution for 2 h, take it out and air-dry it dust-free. Check the cleaning degree. Let the surface of the glass slide be in a hydrophilic state. The presence of a retained water film indicates that it is clean. The purpose of pickling is to further remove surface residual impurities and various adsorbed pollutants and further reduce the roughness.

[0021] Step S3 specifically includes: preparing the anti - detachment working solution by mixing polylysine and double - distilled water in a ratio of 5:5 or 6:4, dropping the anti - detachment working solution on the surface of the glass slide, covering it with another glass slide, allowing the anti - detachment working solution to naturally and evenly spread over the entire surface, using the pulling method to separate the two glass slides, placing them in a cool and dust-free place to dry naturally, and treating the glass slide again in the same way to further improve the treatment effect of the glass slide. In addition, during the anti - detachment treatment, in order to distinguish the anti - detachment treatment surface during use, the rough surface and the anti - detachment treatment surface can be written on the same side of the slide head.

[0022] Preferably in this technical solution, the cleaning solution is prepared from enzyme - containing washing powder and purified water with a mass ratio of 1:(45 - 55), and the temperature of the purified water is 60 - 90 °C.

[0023] Preferably in this technical solution, the anti - detachment working solution is prepared from polylysine and double - distilled water with a mass ratio of (1 - 1.5):1.

[0024] The present invention also discloses a method for using the above-mentioned pathological cytology blood removal kit, which should also belong to the protection scope of the present invention. The specific steps are as follows:

[0025] S1. Add a blood removal reagent to the pretreated bloody sample, and perform shaking and centrifugation in sequence to obtain cell precipitates.

[0026] S2. Aspirate the cell precipitates onto the anti - detachment treated surface of a cell anti - detachment glass slide, and perform air - drying, fixation, staining, and mounting in sequence.

[0027] Preferably, in step S1, the pretreatment method of the bloody sample is: centrifuge the bloody sample at 1800 - 2200 rpm for 4 - 6 min, remove the supernatant to obtain the pretreated bloody sample.

[0028] Preferably, in step S1, the mass ratio of the pretreated bloody sample to the blood removal reagent is 1:(5 - 6).

[0029] Preferably, during the shaking, control the rotation speed at 1400 - 1600 rpm and the time at 1 - 2 min; during the centrifugation, control the rotation speed at 1800 - 2200 rpm and the time at 4 - 6 min.

[0030] That is, the specific method for using the pathological cytology blood removal kit of the present invention is:

[0031] (1) Transfer the bloody sample of a volume according to the actual situation into a 10 ml - 50 ml centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 min to enrich the cells, remove the supernatant, add the blood removal reagent to the precipitate at a ratio of 1:(5 - 6), shake at 1500 rpm for 1 - 2 min, and then centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 min to enrich the cells and remove the supernatant; if the blood removal is not complete, the previous steps can be repeated.

[0032] (2) After the blood removal is completed, aspirate the upper layer of the cell precipitate with a pipette or a micropipette, take a volume the size of a soybean and drop it on the anti - detachment treated surface of the cell anti - detachment glass slide, cover it with the glue - coated surface of another glass slide, let the cell precipitate solution naturally and evenly spread over the entire surface, gently pull the glass slides to separate them, air - dry and place them in a separate cylinder containing 95% ethanol for fixation for more than 15 min, and then perform staining and mounting.

[0033] In summary, the method for using the pathological cytology blood removal kit of the present invention is standardized, efficient, non - toxic, and can ensure the quality of the preparation, making the subsequent pathological cytology diagnosis and interpretation easier and more accurate.

[0034] The pathological cytology blood removal kit of the present invention has at least the following technical effects:

Microscopic examination was carried out to obtain Figure 3 The slide preparation effect.

[0097] It can be seen from Figure 3 that when treating hemorrhagic pleural effusion cells with the high-concentration glacial acetic acid liquid-based cell cleaning solution in the prior art and using the cell adhesion slide of the present invention for slide preparation. The light microscope image has a clean background and a large amount of cells, but due to the too high concentration of glacial acetic acid, the cell plasma boundary is unclear and there are many naked nuclei.

[0098] Control Example 4

[0099] The sample 4 was mixed, centrifuged and concentrated according to Example 1, treated with 15 ml of commercial ammonium chloride lysing agent, shaken manually several times, allowed to stand for 5 min, centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 min, the cell precipitate was extracted, directly smeared using a cell adhesion prevention slide, air-dried and fixed for more than 15 min, and then stained and mounted. Microscopic examination gave Figure 4 the preparation effect.

[0100] It can be seen from Figure 4 that when treating bloody pleural effusion cells with the commercial ammonium chloride lysing agent in the prior art and using the cell adhesion prevention slide of the present invention for preparation, there are still many red blood cell shadows in the light microscope image background, the cell structure is complete, but the cells are relatively aggregated, and some cell nuclei are not clear, which will cause trouble for diagnosis.

[0101] Control Example 5

[0102] The sample 5 was mixed, centrifuged and concentrated according to Example 1, treated with 15 ml of 30% ethanol solvent, shaken manually more than a dozen times, centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 min, the cell precipitate was extracted, directly smeared using a cell adhesion prevention slide, air-dried and fixed for more than 15 min, and then stained and mounted. Microscopic examination gave Figure 5 the preparation effect.

[0103] It can be seen from Figure 5 that when treating bloody pleural effusion cells with 30% ethanol solvent in the prior art and using the cell adhesion prevention slide of the present invention for preparation, the cell quantity in the light microscope image is acceptable, but the nucleoli of some cell nuclei degenerate, and there is a phenomenon that the nuclear membrane boundary is unclear.

[0104] Control Example 6

[0105] The cell precipitate extracted from sample 2 was directly smeared using a conventional hydrophilic HE slide, air-dried and fixed for more than 15 min, and then stained and mounted. Microscopic examination gave Figure 6 the preparation effect.

[0106] It can be seen from Figure 6 that when treating bloody pleural effusion cells with the pathological cytology blood removal kit of the present invention, but using a conventional hydrophilic HE slide in the current technology for preparation, the background of the light microscope image is clean, the cell structure is clear, but the cells fall off seriously and the cell quantity is small, which affects the diagnosis.

[0107] Control Example 7

[0108] The cell precipitate extracted from sample 2 was directly smeared using a conventional hydrophobic HE slide, air-dried and fixed for more than 15 min, and then stained and mounted. Microscopic examination gave Figure 7 the preparation effect.

[0109] It can be seen from Figure 7It can be seen that the blood-containing pleural effusion cells treated with the pathological cytology blood-removing kit of the present invention are prepared using a conventional hydrophobic HE slide in the prior art. The background of the light microscope image is clean, the cell structure is clear, but the cells fall off severely, which does not match the original cell quantity and affects the diagnosis.

[0110] Control Example 8

[0111] The cell precipitate extracted from Sample 2 was directly drawn on a liquid-based cell slide, air-dried and fixed for more than 15 minutes, and then stained and sealed. Microscopic examination was performed to obtain Figure 8 the slide preparation effect.

[0112] It can be seen from Figure 8 that the blood-containing pleural effusion cells treated with the pathological cytology blood-removing kit of the present invention are prepared using a liquid-based cell slide in the prior art. The adhesive layer on the surface of the light microscope slide reacts with the components in the removed blood, and a large area of cells fall off, leaving only a very small amount of cells.

[0113] Control Example 9

[0114] The cell precipitate extracted from Sample 2 was directly drawn on a positively charged immunohistochemical anti-detachment slide, air-dried and fixed for more than 15 minutes, and then stained and sealed. Microscopic examination was performed to obtain Figure 9 the slide preparation effect.

[0115] It can be seen from Figure 9 that the blood-containing pleural effusion cells treated with the pathological cytology blood-removing kit of the present invention are prepared using a positively charged immunohistochemical anti-detachment slide in the prior art. The background of the light microscope image is clean, the cell structure is clear, and the cell quantity is acceptable, but compared with Figure 2 there are still significant differences.

[0116] In summary, the blood-removing reagent in the pathological cytology blood-removing kit of the present invention protects the effective cell components while removing blood, and can preserve most cells in their original state on the slide. Moreover, the specially treated cell anti-detachment slide can effectively prevent cells from falling off due to factors such as fixation, water washing, and staining. Therefore, the pathological cytology blood-removing kit of the present invention improves the accuracy of pathological cytology diagnosis.
