A method for increasing the size of a percutaneous needle biopsy specimen of skeletal muscle is described. Suction (700 TORR) is applied to the inner bore of the biopsy needle after the needle has been inserted into the subject's muscle. The suction pulls the surrounding muscle tissue into the needle, thus insuring the taking of a larger piece (X = 78.5 mg). In most cases, this technique will eliminate the need for repeated biopsies because of inadequate muscle sample size and enhance the validity of subsequent analysis procedures.
描述了一种增加骨骼肌经皮针吸活检标本大小的方法。在活检针插入受试者肌肉后，对针的内孔施加吸力（700托）。吸力将周围的肌肉组织吸入针内，从而确保获取更大的一块组织（X = 78.5毫克）。在大多数情况下，由于肌肉样本量不足，这种技术将消除重复活检的必要性，并提高后续分析程序的有效性。
