Tracy and Doremus have demonstrated chemical bonding between bone and hydroxylapatite with transmission electron microscopy. Now researchers ponder how to improve upon this bond in turn improving the life expectancy and biocompatibility of implantable orthopedic devices.This report focuses on a study of the- chemical influences on the interfacial integrity and strength. Pure hydroxylapatite (HAP), magnesium doped HAP, strontium doped HAP, bioglass and medical grade titanium cylinders were implanted into the tibial cortices of New Zealand white rabbits. After 12 weeks, the implants were retrieved for a scanning electron microscopy study coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy.Following sacrifice and careful retrieval, the samples were dehydrated through a graduated series starting with 50% ethanol and continuing through 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, and 100% ethanol over a period of two days. The samples were embedded in LR White. Again a graduated series was used with solutions of 50, 75 and 100% LR White diluted in ethanol.

Abstract We report herein a unique case of an esophageal collision tumor composed of a papillary adenocarcinoma and a large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma arising in a Barrett esophagus. Hematoxylin-eosin and silver staining patterns, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy of the large cell neuroendocrine component are discussed.

We investigated the applicability of the pre-embedding immunoperoxidase technique to WGAapoHRP-Au retrograde tracing. After injection of the tracer into the substantia nigra of rat, the brain was fixed and cryostat sections were immunostained for dopamine. The sections were osmicated and silver-stained to amplify the colloidal gold particles. Products of both the immunoperoxidase staining and the silver staining could be detected and distinguished by electron microscopy at low magnification. The ultrastructure was so well preserved that synaptic characteristics could be investigated. Dopaminergic terminals were demonstrated to synapse with striatal neurons projecting to the substantia nigra.
