Methods All specimens were skinned and fat tissue removed completely and eviscerated,then fixed in 95% ethanol;Acetone was used remove fats; 0.1% Alizarin red S and 0.15%-0.3% Alcian blue were used in ossified bone and cartilage;Differentiation and clearing in 0.5%-2% aqueous KOH. Results Ossified bones showed rose red;cartilage showed blue;the others were transparent.Conclusion The best results of Alizarin red S and Alician blue compound staining could be obtained in all rat skinned,eviscerated,and removed the adipose tissues.
