Seventy cytology specimens, including fine-needle aspirates from various sites, body effusions, and bronchoalveolar lavages were prepared with a cell block system. This technique, which uses a gelling reagent and a setting reagent to increase the recovery of material, is described in detail. Fifty-four cases had adequate material. To assess the efficacy of the technique, miniblock sections were compared with smears. In 23 cases (43%), the sections provided additional information for a definite diagnosis. The technique allows the recovery of minute cellular material and is valuable for histochemical and immunohistochemical studies.
使用细胞块系统制备了70份细胞学标本，包括来自不同部位的细针穿刺抽吸物、体液和支气管肺泡灌洗样本。详细介绍了该技术，它使用一种胶凝试剂和一种凝固试剂来提高材料回收率。54例有足够的材料。为评估该技术的有效性，将小块切片与涂片进行了比较。在23例（43%）中，切片为明确诊断提供了额外信息。该技术能够回收微量细胞材料，对组织化学和免疫组织化学研究很有价值。
