Abstrakt: | Histological identification of the human sinoatrial node (SAN) remains a challenge. Conventional identification methods, such as Lev's method, have certain limitations. The aim of our study was to develop a new histological identification method that could properly identify the sinoatrial node, applicable to the immunohistochemical study of intra-nodal structures. Thirty-nine human autopsied hearts were included in this study. The cases included 23 men and 16 women ranging in age from 20 to 99 years. The sinoatrial area from eight control samples was cut in the vertical section using the conventional Lev's method. In our new method, called the "En face one-block method," the sinoatrial node was cut in "En face" at the junction of the right border of the right appendage and superior vena cava, placed in one long cassette, and serially cut using a microtome. Immunostaining was performed using primary antibodies against CD31, podoplanin (D2-40), S-100, and other proteins. The average area of the SAN on the slide glass in our new method was 32.2 mm 2 (© 2022. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Japanese Association of Anatomists.) |
