Optimal enhancement of the hybridization signal was developed for the detection of porcine circovirus (PCV) 2 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-wax-embedded tissues from pigs with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. The hybridization signal obtained after thermocycler pretreatment was very uniform across the section, whereas the signal obtained after either proteinase K or microwave pretreatment not only was weaker but was of variable intensity across sections. Thermocycler pretreatment combined with brief proteinase K digestion can enhance signal detection for target viral nucleic acid in formalin-fixed, paraffin-wax-embedded tissues. A strong hybridization signal was detected in the cytoplasm of macrophages and multinucleated giant cells in lymph node and spleen without background staining and morphological damage. The technical improvement results, therefore, in an identical background at the same time as an increased signal and, thus, may help detect lower levels of PCV2 DNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-wax-embedded tissues.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated H. pylori genotyping in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from gastric biopsies of UGI patients in Guwahati, Assam, and correlated it with the severity of gastric mucosal pathologies.
- A total of 168 gastric biopsies were analyzed using histological evaluation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect virulent genes, revealing a high prevalence of H. pylori infection, especially among older females.
- The findings highlight a significant association between H. pylori virulent genotypes and conditions like gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, demonstrating the usefulness of the QIAamp® DNA FFPE Tissue Kit for DNA extraction in challenging settings.

A Universal Approach to Molecular Identification of Rumen Fluke Species Across Hosts, Continents, and Sample Types.
Front Vet Sci
March 2021
Moredun Research Institute, Pentlands Science Park, Penicuik, United Kingdom.
Rumen fluke are parasitic trematodes that affect domestic and wild ruminants across a wide range of countries and habitats. There are 6 major genera of rumen fluke and over 70 recognized species. Accurate species identification is important to investigate the epidemiology, pathophysiology and economic impact of rumen fluke species but paramphistomes are morphologically plastic, which has resulted in numerous instances of misclassification.

Two estrogen receptor isoforms (ERα and ERβ) have been characterized with variable and sometimes contrasting responses to estrogens, partially explained by different receptor signaling pathways in estrogen-sensitive tissues. This is a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study, aiming to evaluate the expression pattern of ERβ, employing immunohistochemical techniques using specific monoclonal antibody for ERβ, to correlate its expression with that of ERα in a Sudanese population. Two-hundred and fifty formalin-fixed paraffin-wax-embedded breast tissue blocks were used in this study.
