RE: [Histonet] teeth sectioning
Thanks for your message Wayne. I will definitely follow up with you upon my return! Please let me know if there is anything else that interest you with regards to Hard Tissue specimen types.

I did some work with the teeth of sows (female pigs) from specimens collected at slaughter. Those are very difficult to decalcify, and when finished, are likely to have no nuclear detail remaining.

If you are talking about an undecalcified specimen embedded in PMMA, then I would imagine that the age of the rat could affect the ability to achieve an adequate infiltration of the resin. Again, I look forward to what others have to say about their success by the method you have outlined. On the other hand, I know you can achieve the micron thickness you desire if you were to use a non-contact femtosecond laser! The machine I am talking about is basically a laser microtome manufactured by Rowiak in Germany and it is officially called the TissueSurgeon. In fact, Dr. Heiko Richter from Germany has accomplished what you ask with human teeth, revealing the full anatomy of the tooth and even with ameloblasts on the enamel surface! I would be interested to hear more about your project. I will be traveling to Germany one week from today to work with this laser microtome until the end of the month so I could arrange to have laser cut sections made for you if you are interested and unable to make your cuts using PMMA and a rotary microtome.

We keep ours long enough to fill up a 100-slide box and then dump the oldest ones.

[Histonet] Pregnancy
Hi Gang, Thought I would ask some people with some more experience than I in this. One of our techs is pregnant- Yay !!! She is very early - about 5 weeks. My Lab Director wants her to start wearing a mask due to the chemicals. So we need to ask what sort of precautions need to take place during the pregnancy etc. We also coverslip by hand here out of xylene etc. I can not remember ever working with any pregnant HTs in the past so I honestly do not know. Please carbon copy replies to jascholefi...@skaggs.net as well. We predominately work with 10% formalin, reagent grade alcohols, paraplast, xylenes, clear-rite 3, Decal I and II (from Surgipath), cytofixative and some routine special stain items.

We have a form for all pregnant women (and her doctor) to sign. The form lists the chemicals she will be exposed to and the potential risks of each are outlined. The form also reminds the employee that she should continue to use universal precautions when working around these chemicals. I like to have her doctor acknowledge that he/she is aware of the employee's work environment and that the employee has her doctor's OK to continue working here.

[Histonet] RE: Pregnancy
Helayne Since OSHA does not have any guidelines with respects to xylene and formaldehyde in pregnancy (they do mention pregnancy in both standards, but no PEL's, etc.) her restrictions need to come from her OB/GYN physician. This was told to me by an OSHA industrial hygienist that was in our lab. What is a mask going to do? Not unless you are referring to one of those 3M respirators 3M 8247 - Nuisance level organic vapor relief. If your chemical monitoring results are below the OSHA standard then you could bring these respirators in as voluntary use. You need to have the appropriate safety policies and training associated with that. I have those in place so if you need help with that I can help. If for any reason even though you are below the PEL's and you want to bring in a tight fit respirators then you have to have a full blown respiratory protection program. Your responsibility as an employer is to perform a written hazard assessment of the job (based on sampling results) the employees can then be offered filtering face pieces and other proper PPE.

Please carbon copy replies to jascholefi...@skaggs.net as well. We predominately work with 10% formalin, reagent grade alcohols, paraplast, xylenes, clear-rite 3, Decal I and II (from Surgipath), cytofixative and some routine special stain items. Basically the typical myriad of stuff a very small routine histo lab would have (no immunos) Thanks and bunch for your help ! Sincerely, Helayne Parker, H.T.

[Histonet] Grossing Qualifications
We have an employee who has attended a School of Medical Technology Program for one year (1974-75) and passed the registry in 1975. They have grossed since 2006 and have 8 hours of biology from a local college. Do these qualifications make them eligible to gross in prostate biopsies in an in- house laboratory? We are going over the requirements and are not sure if the experience that she has counts for her grossing in our lab. Does the time in the school fulfill the requirements? ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
