Современное развитие деревоперерабатывающей отрасли сопровождается существенным ростом объемов готовой продукции, производимой на основе клееной древесины. Качество выпускаемой клееной продукции во многом определяется свойствами применяемых клеев. Экспериментально исследовано влияние электромагнитного поля СВЧ-диапазона на структуру клеев, применяемых для склеивания древесины. Установлено, что СВЧ-обработка оказывает существенное влияние на микроструктуру поливинилацетатного клея Dorus 072. Структура клеевой пленки, обработанной СВЧ-излучением, имеет более высокую дисперсность, по сравнению с исходным полимером, которая выражается в среднем уменьшении глобул в 1,4 раза. Исследование фазового контраста пленки поливинилацетатного клея, обработанного СВЧ-излучением, позволило установить, что после обработки уменьшается фазовая неоднородность клеевой пленки и имеет место углубление дисперсности глобул полимера, приводящее к увеличению степени его упаковки с образованием однородной по структуре пленки. Экспериментальные исследования пленок карбамидоформальдегидного клея Dorus FU 406, подвергнутого СВЧ-обработке, показали, что структуры образцов пленок как обработанного, так и необработанного, клея не отличаются значительными изменениями. Исследование фазового сдвига по поверхности образца пленки карбамидоформальдегидного клея отражает распределение свойств материала и показывает, что СВЧ-обработка клея способствует образованию квазигомогенной структуры, формирование которой подтверждается уменьшением различий в границах фазовых переходов микроструктур отвержденного полимера. На основании проведенных экспериментов по исследованию структуры пленок клеев, применяемых для склеивания древесины, установлено, что в результате воздействия электромагнитного поля СВЧ-диапазона на клеевые растворы осуществляется нетепловая модификация, сопровождающаяся уменьшением размеров макромолекул полимера и формированием плотно упакованной структуры пленки. Полученные результаты позволяют сделать вывод о целесообразности дальнейших исследований по модификации клеев СВЧ-обработкой. Modern development of woodworking branches is accompanied by essential growth of volumes of the finished goods manufactured on the basis of glued wood. Quality of let out glued production in many respects is defined by properties of applied glues. Influence of an electromagnetic field of a microwave range on frame of the glues applied to coagglutination of wood is experimentally investigated. It is positioned that microwave processing makes essential impact on a microstructure of polyvinyl acetate glue Dorus 072. The frame of the adhesive film treated by microwave radiation, has higher dispersity in comparison with initial polymer which is expressed on the average reduction of globules in 1,4 times. Research of phase contrast of a film of the treated polyvinyl acetate glue by microwave radiation has allowed to position that after processing phase heterogeneity of an adhesive film decreases and the excavation of dispersity of globules of the polymer, leading to augmentation of degree of its packaging, forming an unimodal film on frame takes place. Experimental researches of films of amino-formaldehyde glue Dorus FU 406, subjected to microwave processing, have shown that Frames of samples of films both treated, and untreated glue do not differ significant changes. Research of phase alteration on a surface of the sample of a film of amino-formaldehyde glue reflects allocation of properties of a stuff and shows that glue microwave processing promotes formation of the quasi-homogeneous frame which formation proves to be true reduction of distinctions in borders of phase changes of microstructures hardning polymer. On the basis of the made experiments on research of frame of films of the glues applied to coagglutination of wood it is positioned that as a result of influence of an electromagnetic field of the microwave oven of a range on glutinous solutions not thermal modification accompanied by reduction of the dimensions of macromolecules of polymer and formation of densely packed frame of a film is carried out. The received results allow to draw a conclusion on expediency of the further researches on modification of glues by microwave processing.

The choice of tissue fixation is critical for preserving the morphology and biochemical information of tissues. Fragile oral tissues with lower tensile strength are challenging to process for histological applications as they are prone to processing damage, such as tissue tear, wrinkling, and tissue fall-off from slides. This leads to loss of morphological information and unnecessary delay in experimentation. In this study, we have characterized the new PAXgene tissue fixation system on oral buccal mucosal tissue of cancerous and normal pathology for routine histological and immunohistochemical applications. We aimed to minimize the processing damage of tissues and improve the quality of histological experiments. We also examined the preservation of biomolecules by PAXgene fixation using FTIR microspectroscopy. Our results demonstrate that the PAXgene-fixed tissues showed significantly less tissue fall-off from slides. Hematoxylin and Eosin staining showed comparable morphology between formalin-fixed and PAXgene-fixed tissues. Good quality and slightly superior immunostaining for cancer-associated proteins p53 and CK5/6 were observed in PAXgene-fixed tissues without antigen retrieval than formalin-fixed tissues. Further, FTIR measurements revealed superior preservation of glycogen, fatty acids, and amide III protein secondary structures in PAXgene-fixed tissues. Overall, we present the first comprehensive evaluation of the PAXgene tissue fixation system in oral tissues. This study concludes that the PAXgene tissue fixation system can be applied to oral tissues to perform diagnostic molecular pathology experiments without compromising the quality of the morphology or biochemistry of biomolecules.

We developed a staining protocol for demonstration of androgen receptor (AR) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. The method is based on the antigen retrieval microwave (MW) heating technique. Results are compared with different types of enzyme digestion pre-treatments. The strongest immunostaining signal and clearest background were obtained by MW heating of dewaxed paraffin sections in 5% urea or citrate buffer solution (pH 6); pure distilled water gave less consistent results. Enzymatic digestion with pepsin (0.05% in 2 N HCl) for 30 min at room temperature, or trypsin followed by pronase, or pronase digestion alone, also produced enhanced staining of AR in some cases, but there was more nonspecific background, and specific reactivity was less intense. The antigen retrieval MW method can be used to demonstrate AR epitope in prostate tissue after fixation in formalin for as long as 7 days. AR immunolocalization was also compared in frozen and paraffin sections processed from the same specimen of prostate carcinoma tissue and was found to be qualitatively and quantitatively similar. This study also provided new information concerning the basic principles of the antigen retrieval MW method that may be helpful in further development of this technique.
