Application of stereology to dermatological research

Abstract: Stereology is a set of mathematical and statistical tools to estimate three-dimensional (3-D) characteristics of objects from regular two-dimensional (2-D) sections. In medicine and biology, it can be used to estimate features such as cell volume, cell membrane surface area, total length of blood vessels per volume tissue and total number of cells. The unbiased quantification of these 3-D features allows for a better understanding of morphology in vivo compared with 2-D methods. This review provides an introdu… Show more

“…A piece of tissue is sectioned exhaustively and cut in parallel sections with a fixed distance t. A point grid with a known area associated, A t , with each point is superimposed on each section, and the number of points landing within the structure of interest is counted. Reprinted with permission from Kamp et al [34]. …”

“…volume of the epidermis, as opposed to 2-dimensional tissue characteristics, e.g. thickness of the epidermis, obtained from most imaging techniques [29,30]. Finally, stereology is based on principles of randomness, eliminating any element of choice on behalf of the investigator and thus minimizing the risk of selection bias [31].…”

“…Nesses tecidos, um eixo é determinado de forma não aleatória pelo pesquisador e estabelecido para todos os demais cortes da pesquisa. No caso da pele, é prático escolher um eixo vertical que é perpendicular à superfície externa da pele e, assim, preparar cortes onde a epiderme seja visualizada sobre a derme, como é feito tipicamente na rotina dos dermatopatologistas (Kamp et al, 2009). …”

“…Essa técnica tem sido aplicada em estudos do tecido tegumentar, com destaque no campo das neoplasias e processos de cicatrização da pele e na formação de cicatrizes (Kamp et al, 2009). Na cicatrização, estudos comparativos são empregados para quantificar diversas estruturas teciduais, como: fibroblastos e colágeno (McGaw e Ten Cate, 1983;Ricketts et al, 1999;Brahmatewari et al, 2000;Garcia et al, 2008), vascularização tecidual e vasos neoformados (Khozani et al, 2004;Amadeu et al, 2003;Garcia et al, 2008), matriz extracelular (Burugapalli e Pandit, 2007), infiltrado celular inflamatório e epitelização (Garcia et al, 2008).…”
