Pathology
一、 History of Pathology
Autopsy → Organ pathology (1761)
3. Position:
It’s a bridging discipline involving both
basic science and clinical practice
4. Text of Pathology:
(1) General pathology:
concerned with the basic reaction of
cells and tissues to abnormal stimuli
that underlie all diseases.
(2) Systemic pathology :
dedcribe the specific responses of specialized
organs and tissues to defined stimuli.
三、 Techniques of Pathology
1. Human pathology
(1) Autopsy
(2) Biopsy: surgical or diagnostic pathology
(3) Cytology: smear, fine needle aspiration
2. Experimental pathology
(1) Animal experiment: animal model
(2) Tissue and cell culture
四、 Observation and New
Technique of Morphology
(一) Gross appearance:
size, shape
weight
color
consistency
surface
edge, section
(二) Histologic and cytologic
observation:
most common and basic formalin fixed
→ HE (hematoxylin and eosin) stained
PAS→BM
(四) Immunohistochemistry
1. Ag-Ab specific reaction
2. Applications
(1) Location analysis
cytokeratin→cell membrane
(2) Clinical diagnosis and distinguishing
diagnosis of tumor histogenesis
Leiomyosarcoma Actin (+)
(五) Ultrastructural observation
TEM (transmitting electron microscope)
Filtering membrane
SEM (scanning electron microscope)
Podocyte
(六) Flow cytometry (FCM)
1. One kind of cells→quantitative
2. DNA ploidy analysis
3. Protein nucleus acid→quantitative
analysis
4. Selection of collection of cells
(七) Image analysis (IA)
Nuclei: diameter; circumference; area;
volume; morphology
