Metabolic Diseases and Crystal Induced Arthropathies Technic of Non-Staining Histologic Sections - A Comparative Study of Standard Stains and Histochemical Reactions

Abstract: Arthropathy induced by monosodium salt of uric acid [C 5 H 4 N 4 O 3 ] (MSU) (gout), by calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate [Ca 2 P 2 O 7 .2H 2 O] (CPPD) crystals (chondrocalcinosis, pseudogout, pyrophosphate arthropathy) and arthropathy induced by hydroxyapatite [Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 (OH)] (HA) crystals (apatite rheumatism, hydroxyapatite arthritis, calcifying tenosynovitis, Milwaukee syndrome, calcific tendinitis, calcific periarthritis) are regarded as distinct clinical entities. The solubility of MSU, CPPD and HA cry… Show more

“…In unstained sections, using a professional polarizing microscope with high, at least 100-Watt brightness, the clusters (1–5 µm) of HA crystals were visible, and were birefringent under polarized light (×100) [ 13 , 14 ]. The clusters formed aggregates of 100 µm or larger, which were visible with an objective of ×40 with non-staining techniques [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…The birefringence of HA prisms was weakly positive (δ = 0.007) compared to the stronger positive birefringence of CPPD crystals (δ = 0.017); the large and strongly birefringent CPPD crystals dominated deceptively the microscopic fields, in cases of coexisting HA and CPPD crystals at 60-Watt illumination, or using a Red I compensator (the Red I compensator notably reduces the intensity of illumination) [ 13 , 14 ].…”
