Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV is an enzyme involved in a lot of biochemical processes, where it modifies a number of regulatory proteins by removing the terminal peptides by hydrolysis. Here we describe a histochemical method to demonstrate with accuracy and precision its in situ activity on cryostatic section of Wistar rat liver by means of a simultaneous azo-coupling method.

Currently, there are plenty of histochemical methods to classify pig muscle fibers, which confused the naming and classification of muscle fibers. This study aims to analyze the difference and correlation of 6 different histochemical methods and select the most suitable method for muscle fiber classification at the molecular and histomological levels by in-situ RT-PCR and enzyme histochemical methods. Muscle fiber samples, including psoas (PM), semitendinosus (SM) and trapezius muscle (TM), were collected from Large Spotted (LS), Lantang (LT) and Landrace (LR) pigs at their market-ages (LS at 150 d, LT at 210 d, and LR at 150 d).

Background: Muscle diseases are of various types, viz., muscular dystrophies, inflammatory myopathies, myotonic disorders, congenital myopathies, and metabolic myopathies. They all present with muscle weakness, be it proximal or distal.

Congenital myopathies are defined by early clinical onset, slow progression, hereditary nature and disease-specific myopathological lesions - however, with exceptions - demanding special techniques in regard to morphological diagnostic and research work-up. To identify an index disease in a family requires a muscle biopsy - and no congenital myopathy has ever been first described at autopsy. The nosographic history commenced when - in addition to special histopathological techniques in the earliest classical triad of central core disease, 1956, nemaline myopathy, 1963, and centronuclear myopathy, 1966/67, within a decade - electron microscopy and enzyme histochemistry were applied to unfixed frozen muscle tissue and, thus, revolutionized diagnostic and research myopathology.

Background: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), also called autoimmune myositis, are heterogeneous. These include dermatomyositis (DM), inclusion body myositis, immune mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS), and overlap polymyositis. Classification of IIM has evolved from clinical to clinico-pathologic to the recent clinico-sero-pathologic with the discovery of myositis-specific antibodies (MSA) and myositis-associated antibodies.
