Comparison of different methods for PAS staining of renal biopsy tissue sections / 南方医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the performance of a modified PAS staining, traditional PAS staining, Lyon's PAS staining, and Tsunahico Watanabe staining for staining sections of renal biopsy tissue.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The sections of the renal biopsy tissue were stained with the 4 methods and their staining performance was compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The modified PAS staining method produced a better contrast and a higher resolution and showed a greater stability after repeated use than the other 3 methods for staining the renal tissue sections (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The modified PAS staining method shows a better applicability than the other 3 PAS methods for staining sections of renal biopsy tissue.</p>
