Fine-needle cytology sampling, when adequate, is highly sensitive and specific for tissue-type diagnosis, with figures of 94% and 88%, respectively. This study explores the technique of sampling to reduce interoperator variability and ensure maximal tissue yield.
Apple cortical tissue was sampled as a proxy of human lymph node. A total of 200 samples, by four methods, with 50 by each sampling method, were taken using blue venepuncture needles and weighed to assess tissue yield.
Results were analysed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's HSD test. Comparable yields, by mass, were achieved by both straight lance and coring techniques (P > 0.05). Significantly greater yield was achieved with a multiplanar technique (P < 0.05).
Multiplanar sampling increases mass yield of tissue in fine-needle sampling. Coring appears to have little bearing on yield.
细针细胞学采样在样本充足时,对组织类型诊断具有高度敏感性和特异性,其敏感性和特异性分别为94%和88%。本研究探索了采样技术,以减少操作者间的差异并确保获得最大量的组织样本。
采用苹果皮质组织作为人类淋巴结的替代物。使用蓝色静脉穿刺针通过四种方法共采集200个样本,每种采样方法采集50个样本,并对样本进行称重以评估组织样本量。
采用单因素方差分析和Tukey's HSD检验对结果进行分析。直刺法和钻取法所获得的组织样本质量相当(P>0.05)。多平面采样法获得的样本量显著更大(P<0.05)。
在细针采样中,多平面采样可增加组织样本量。钻取法似乎对样本量影响不大。
