Extract

Certain disadvantages of traditional injection methods and difficulties arising during investigation of experimental and pathological material, limit the possibilities for extensive study of the microcirculatory bed (MCB). This has prompted the authors to develop new non-injection methods for revealing the MCB on histological sections by means of direct staining of the structural elements of the vessel wall. These methods are based on selective precipitation of the extra- or intracellular orthophosphates with ions of Zn, Cd, Co, Ca, Sr, and Pb in the vascular endothelium and smooth muscle cells. These methods (which we have called “histoangiological”) provide clear-cut contrast dyeing of the MCB in different organs and tissues as well as tumors in rat, cat,pig, dog, and in humans.

In these methods, the reaction end product is lead sulfide which provides a high degree of contrast. Vessels and capillaries are detected due to precipitation of the deposit in the vascular endothelium.
