Quantitation of the Nucleus

Prognostic Significance of Angiogenesis in Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Human Urinary Bladder

“…From this analysis, both mean vessel count and stage were related to outcome and they scales on the microscope stage. The method of cumulative mean [27] was used to define the number of such were therefore combined to give a prognostic score for each patient. Two types of score were calculated; a score random areas to be counted to achieve a precision of ±10% in the mean number of counted vessels per sec-based on stage alone and a combined score using both stage and mean vessel count.…”

Cell proliferation studies in primary synovial chondromatosis

“…The significance of DNA aneuploid cells in benign lesions is uncertain. Hyperplastic tissues may mimic DNA aneuploidy 36 and small numbers of tetraploid nuclei have been found in chondromas. 31 There was marked hypercellularity (grade III) and nuclear pleomorphism (grade III) in the corresponding histological sections in some of these DNA aneuploid cases.…”

Morphologic Changes in Efferent Ductules and Epididymis in Estrogen Receptor‐α Knockout Mice

“…Ciliated and nonciliated cell frequencies were determined by counting cells at the apical surface between cell junctions. The number of cilia was determined by counting the number of basal bodies along the surface of ciliated cells and expressing this number per 5 m. Nuclear height was determined by linear measurements from base to apex, and the form factor was calculated as, F ϭ C 2 /4A, where C ϭ circumference and A ϭ area (Stephenson, 1990). Data were first analyzed by analysis of variance, followed by Fisher's protected LSD or the Student's t test.…”
