Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo 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.
METHODSThe sections of the renal biopsy tissue were stained with the 4 methods and their staining performance was compared.
RESULTSThe 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).
CONCLUSIONThe modified PAS staining method shows a better applicability than the other 3 PAS methods for staining sections of renal biopsy tissue.
