Differentiation of Malignant Mesothelioma from Adenocarcinoma Cells Appearing in Body Fluid -Using Immunohistology and Electron Microscopy
It can be difficult to differentiate malignant mesothelioma from adenocarcinoma cells or reactive mesothelial cells in body fluids. Therefore, we would like to examine the differentiation between adenocarcinoma cells and malignant mesothelioma cells appearing in body fluids using immunohistology, electron microscopy, and fluorescence in situ hybridization.

From the standpoint of pathology technologists, I have focused on developing "pathological techniques applicable to the routine work of pathological technologists.“ I specialize in improving pathological techniques, such as establishing highly sensitive in situ hybridization (Fig. 1) and ecological Grocott stain (Fig. 2). Currently, I am working on the following research project.
-
There are no good marketed antibodies against HCV and it is currently difficult to prove by immunostaining. A highly sensitive in situ hybridization method combining LNA-DNA oligoprobe and tyramide sensitization can detect HCV.
-
The combination of heat treatment and periodic acid treatment enables the same level of dyeability as the conventional method without chromic acid.
1)Histochemistry of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs)
2)Morphological and functional evaluation of bacterial vaginosis using cytological specimens
3)Histochemistry of new cell death "necroptosis
-
Most of the fine fibers are positive for NETs markers and negative for fibrin markers, thus identifying them as NETs. (Acute appendicitis)
(Kazuya Shiogama) -
Thick fibers indicate the coexistence of NETs and fibrin (NETs marker positive, fibrin marker positive) or fibrin (NETs marker negative, fibrin marker positive). (Upper row: Legionella pneumophila, Lower row: Liver abscess)
Organelles, represented by mitochondria, change their size and shape in response to the surrounding environment. Naturally, the cells formed by the myriad of variously shaped organelles each have their unique shape, and these cells form tissues and function as part of organs. To understand the pathogenesis of various diseases, we believe it is necessary to understand the complex hierarchical structure of living organisms in detail down to the nano-level, thus we are conducting ultrastructural analysis using the following morphological approaches.
- Seamless ultrastructure analysis by correlative light and electron microscopy
- Analysis of three-dimensional ultrastructure in paraffin sections by expansion microscopy
-
When we take an electron microscope image of the same spot taken with an optical microscope, we can simultaneously prove the ultrastructure and expression.
-
Expansion microscopy method allows optical microscopes to have a high resolution close to electron microscope images.
