Argyrophilic Fibers of Intravascular Threadlike Structures in Rat

Objective : We took intravascular threadlike structures from rat aortas to investigate their histological characteristics consistent with the intravascular Bonghan duct. Methods : Gomori’s silver impregnation method, in addition to routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, was applied to demonstrate...

Methods : Gomori’s silver impregnation method, in addition to routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, was applied to demonstrate the characteristic feature of the intravascular threadlike structures. Results : These two staining methods clearly showed that the intravascular threadlike structures had unique features of argyrophilic reticular fibers and heavily stained oval or rod-shaped nuclei in them. Conclusion : The results are strong evidences for identifying threadlike structure as the intravascular Bonghan duct.http://dx.doi.org/10.3831/KPI.2008.11.3.005Argyrophilic fiberBonghan ductFluorescence stereomicroscopeIntravascularAcupuncture meridianIntravascular threadlike structure
