Two types of vascularisation of intramural uterine leiomyomata revealed by corrosion casting and immunohistochemical study
The blood supply of myomatous uteri collected upon autopsy was examined.
The uterine vascular beds were perfused via afferent vessels with fixative followed
by Mercox resin and corroded after polymerisation of the resin. The vascular
casts thus obtained were examined using scanning electron microscopy.
The vascular system of the uterine fibroids was also examined using immunohistochemical
analysis (FVIII, factor VIII-related antigen)
Application of acrylic emulsion Liquitex R (Binney and Smith) for the preparation of injection specimens and immunohistochemical studies - an observation
Application of acrylic emulsion Liquitex R for injection studies of the vascular system of human myomatous uteri was analysed. It was found that this injection mass does not penetrate the capillary bed of human organs, but it is useful in studies carried out on the blood supply of the human organs removed from cadavers. The results were compared with the studies performed with the help of immunohistochemical tests for von Willebrandt's factor
