Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the pathological reagent application technical field in the pathological department, and particularly relates to application of an environment-friendly biological tissue sample preparation set liquid in pathological histology and animal and plant specimen making. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of medical pathological diagnosis, the fixation of tissue sections is usually formaldehyde fixing solution or polyhydric alcohol combined fixing solution. Formaldehyde has strong hardening effect on tissue fixation, strong penetration and good sterilization effect, but its obvious shortcomings are that it can cause great harm to the human lung and even induce lung cancer after being inhaled. The polyhydric alcohol fixing solution has poor tissue penetration and is difficult to penetrate into the deep part of the tissue, and the fixing effect is not ideal, and the tissue is prone to shrinkage, discoloration and surface hardening. The traditional gradient ethanol dehydrating solution and the commercially available dehydrating solution composed of ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, acetone and methylcyclohexane can easily absorb moisture. When the laboratory is rainy or the humidity is too high, the dehydrating solution can quickly absorb the moisture in the air, resulting in an increase in water content, and it is difficult to completely remove the water from the tissue sections, causing the tissue to become brittle. Due to poor tissue dehydration, the paraffin solution cannot penetrate into the tissue, causing the wax block to become soft, or the tissue to become hard and brittle due to "dry roasting" in the high-temperature paraffin solution, and even the dehydrated tissue shrinks and forms a gap with the wax block, which ultimately cannot be sliced, resulting in the failure to complete the medical pathological diagnosis and causing a medical accident. In addition, the tert-butyl alcohol in the dehydrating solution has strong toxicity, the acetone can corrode the dehydrating machine pipeline and cause tissue shrinkage, and the methylcyclohexane in the defatting component has strong irritancy and toxicity.

[0003] In the field, efforts have been made to improve safety, improve fixation effect, improve tissue dehydration quality, improve the quality of wax blocks and subsequent slice making, and the biological tissue sample preparation set liquid composed of environmentally friendly components is harmless or low-toxic to the human body.

[0004] The patent document CN109805001A describes a "formaldehyde-free tissue fixation and preservation liquid and its preparation method", which solves the above problems, improves the fixation effect and preservation ability, and improves the safety to the human body without using formaldehyde. However, the formaldehyde-free tissue fixation and preservation liquid provided by the scheme will appear turbidity after soaking the tissue, which will cause the loss of tissue components and thus cause pollution to other tissues, resulting in false negative or false positive phenomenon in pathological diagnosis.

[0056] Comparative Example 1

[0057] The conventional commercial neutral formaldehyde fixing solution, ethanol gradient dehydrating liquid, and xylene transparent liquid are used in this comparative example.

[0058] Comparative Example 2

[0059] According to the tissue fixing solution preparation method in the patent “A formaldehyde-free tissue fixing and preserving solution and a preparation method thereof”, 2-methyl-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (MBIT) 2 kg, dimethyl sulfoxide 7 kg, and azone 3 kg are melted in 55 kg of ethanol to obtain a protein fixing agent; then 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one 0.06 kg and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one 0.02 kg, sodium nitrate 0.5 kg, sodium chloride 1 kg, sucrose 1 kg, and 0.2 kg of vitamin C are melted in 10.22 kg of water, and then the two mixed liquids obtained above are mixed and then a humectant (isopropyl alcohol 5 kg, propylene glycol 5 kg, and polyethylene glycol 10 g) is added, and stirred uniformly to obtain a fixing and preserving solution; wherein the ethanol gradient dehydrating liquid and the xylene transparent liquid are conventional commercial reagents.

[0060] I. Comparison of the effects of fixing solutions

[0061] The present application uses the fixing solution prepared in Examples 1-5, the commercially available conventional neutral formaldehyde fixing solution in Comparative Example 1 and the fixing solution prepared in Comparative Example 2 to respectively fix rat liver, rectum and kidney, and the specific steps are as follows: firstly, sample rat liver, rectum and kidney, and the sample size is 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 0.2-0.4 cm, and the limit value should be less than the volume that can be accommodated by the tissue embedding box. Excessive extrusion and filling of the tissue embedding box can affect the effective contact of the reagent and the tissue specimen, and reduce the specimen processing quality. Subsequently, the above-mentioned tissues or tissue sections are respectively immersed in 5 times the volume of the fixing solution, the container is closed, the indoor temperature is kept at 25 DEG C, the time required for each group of specimens to complete the fixation is observed and recorded, the sample color and hardness, deformation condition are observed and recorded, and the clarity of the fixing solution is detected and recorded, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0062] Table 1 Comparison of fixing solution on small tissue specimen fixation

[0063]

[0064] The fixing solution effect comparison results are shown in Table 1, the tissue sample fixation time of the best ratio of the solution obtained in Example 1 is less than that of the comparative examples, and the tissue sample fixation time of the solutions prepared in Examples 2-5 is also shorter than that of Comparative Examples 1-2. Through comparison of the specimen hardness and deformation, it is found that the kidney sample after fixation of Comparative Example 1 presents the characteristics of hard and brittle, and the tissue samples after fixation of the fixing solutions prepared in the present application have good specimen hardness and deformation. Through comparison of the clarity of the fixing solution after fixation, it is found that the fixing solutions of Examples 1-2 are clear, and the fixing solution of Example 3 appears slightly turbid, which is speculated to be caused by the high content and proportion of the penetration enhancer such as thione, sucrose, dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride and dipentaerythritol dimethyl ammonium chloride, thereby causing the dissolution of intracellular small molecular components of the tissue, resulting in the appearance of the fixing solution slightly turbid. Comparative Examples 1-2 all appear slightly turbid and turbid. In summary, the biological tissue fixing solution provided by the present application has good fixing effect in a short time, and the ratio of the components of the fixing solution in Example 1 is the best ratio, and the fixing solution prepared thereby has the best comprehensive fixing effect.

[0065] II. Effect of the solution and preparation of the cutting block

[0066] The present application uses the fixing solution prepared in Examples 1-5, the commercially available conventional neutral formaldehyde fixing solution in Comparative Example 1 and the fixing solution prepared in Comparative Example 2 to fix, dehydrate, transparentize and wax-impregnate rat liver respectively, and the fixing solution is comprehensively judged according to the changes of reagents during the treatment process and the quality of the wax block. The dehydrator is a full-automatic dehydrator of the model of Leica ASP300S, the treatment time and conditions of reagents other than those of the present application are used according to the requirements of the seller's manual, the size of the sample is 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 0.2-0.4 cm, the limit value should be less than the volume that can be accommodated by the tissue embedding box, excessive extrusion and filling of the tissue embedding box will affect the effective contact of the reagent with the tissue sample and reduce the treatment quality of the sample. The comparison results are shown in Table 2.

[0067] Table 2 Comparison of comprehensive treatment of rat liver

[0068]

[0069] In the process of preparing tissue wax blocks, the dehydration step consists of 6 parts. In the treatment of dehydration solution I and II, most of the water in the tissue sample has been replaced. In the treatment of dehydration solution III, IV, V and VI, most of the water is absorbed from the air during the contact with the air. Methanol and ethanol are easily hygroscopic, while n-propanol is not. Therefore, n-propanol is added to the dehydration solution to avoid the absorption of water from the air and affect the effect of the fixing solution. However, n-propanol has a larger molecule than methanol and ethanol, and is relatively difficult to penetrate the cell cuticle and cell membrane to replace the internal water. However, the addition of thione osmotic factor and a small amount of other reagents promotes the effect of n-propanol in replacing the internal water, so that the dehydration solution of the present application has a good dehydration effect. As can be seen from Table 2, although the service life of the dehydration solution in Examples 2-3 is longer than that in Example 1, the dehydration efficiency is lower than that in Example 1. Although the dehydration efficiency of the dehydration solution in Examples 4-5 is higher than that in Example 1, the service life is significantly shorter than that of the dehydration solution in Example 1 due to the increase of the easily hygroscopic component. The dehydration effect and efficiency of Comparative Examples 1-2 are not as good as those of Examples 1-5, which proves that the ratio of the components in Example 1 is the best and has the best effect. It is further proved that the amount of n-propanol added has a certain limit and needs to be added within the best ratio range to achieve the best dehydration effect in the shortest time.

[0070] When the water content of the dehydrating solution exceeds 5%, the clarity of the subsequent transparent solution and the hardness of the wax block / sample will be affected, because the hardness of the wax block / sample is low, which brings great difficulty to the preparation of the wax block section, and even because of the excessive water content of the tissue, the volatilization of water at high temperature causes the tissue to shrink, and the air gap between the wax block and the tissue is easy to produce, so that the wax block section is discontinuous or incomplete, and if the dehydration is not clean, even if the wax-sealed tissue does not shrink, the toughness of the tissue is not enough, which causes the wax block section to break or be continuous. Therefore, from Tables 1-2, it can be seen that the preparation of the solution obtained in Examples 1-5 is better than that of the preparation solution obtained in Comparative Examples 1-2 in terms of fixation, dehydration effect, preparation of tissue section quantity and preparation of wax block quality, and through fine comparison and analysis of Examples 1-5, it is found that the preparation solution obtained in Example 1 has the best effect on the preparation of biological tissue section.
