We report a method to analyse multiple samples by fluorescence in situ hybridisation on a single glass microscope slide. Wells were formed in which independent hybridisation reactions could proceed by sealing a silicon rubber gasket to the slide. In the largest format tested, different probes were hybridised simultaneously by applying them directly from a 96-well microtitre dish which was inverted on a glass plate. This technique will increase the rate of analysis of multiple probes against a standard set of chromosomes and could also be used to analyse different karyotypes using a panel of probes such as single chromosome paints during a single operation. It should be useful for both chromosomal mapping projects and screening for chromosome abnormalities in clinical diagnostic laboratories.

To investigate the expression pattern of pan-TRK protein in colorectal cancers with NTRK gene fusion and mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) and to analyze its molecular pathological characteristics. A total of 117 dMMR colorectal cancers diagnosed in the Department of Pathology of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, China from 2020 to 2023 were collected. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and DNA/RNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used to detect pan-TRK protein expression and fusion partner genes in tumors, and to further explore the correlation between pan-TRK staining patterns and partner genes.

The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) contains neurons that relay sensory swallowing commands information from the oropharyngeal cavity and swallowing premotor neurons of the dorsal swallowing group (DSG). However, the spatio-temporal dynamics of the interplay between the sensory relay and the DSG is not well understood. Here, we employed fluorescence imaging after microinjection of the calcium indicator into the NTS in an arterially perfused brainstem preparation of rat (n = 8) to investigate neuronal population activity in the NTS in response to superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) stimulation.
